Chapter 1016: Tie up history

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Alvara Stadium became a sea of ​​celebration for the Three Lions and their fans!
"Congratulations to England for becoming the second team to advance to this European Cup! At the end of the game, 1:0, with Scholes' goal, England did not let the dark horse Greece team go further, it can even be said This is an overwhelming victory, because whether in terms of scenes or technical statistics, the England team has an overwhelming advantage, although the goal is not much, the score is only 1:0, but the England team actually let the Greek team There was no shot in 90 minutes of the game! There was no shot! And they made a total of 23 shots! Some people praised Rehagel for writing a new football philosophy before the game, that is, using defense to shape the game situation, defense listening It’s simple, but there are not many teams that can do well, especially the weak teams. In any case, the Greek team should be proud. They have impressed people in this European Cup and have made consecutive upsets in Portugal and Spain. The result appears, if it is not in the knockout, but in the group stage, we have reason to believe that perhaps the Greek team will create great difficulties for the England team, but in the knockout, on the one hand, the English team’s own vigilance, the other On the other hand, the England team has an experienced top coach. Sir Hall’s targeted research and deployment of Greece is reflected in the game. Today’s England is not the familiar England, but they have won very impressive. Convinced, so that fans in England can continue to have the expectation of winning the Three Lions team! England's opponents in the semi-finals will be generated between the Czech Republic and Denmark, they will rest two days longer than their opponents in the semifinals! Their advantage that cannot be ignored in the semi-finals. Well, spectators friends, we can now wait for tomorrow’s game. The Netherlands and Sweden will fight for the third semi-final ticket. See you at the same time tomorrow."
After the game, Aldridge walked to Rehagel for the first time, and the two coaches shook hands solemnly.
This may not be the moment when history freezes.
But only the two coaches understand the depth of the game.
After shaking hands, Aldridge turned and stepped into the stadium with a smile on his face. He first gave Beckham a high-five hug. When he hugged Beckham, Aldridge said in his ear: "David, good job , Continue to work hard, you will become the great captain of England."
Xiaobei smiled and didn't answer. There was a word in his heart that wasn't spoken.
After the European Cup, stay here!
Beckham is also the boss, he knows that his career in the national team has entered the final stage, if Aldridge can still stay after the European Cup, he also believes that he will have a very promising future in the national team.
However, he couldn't say it.
Can't ask for Audric anymore, can't open his mouth to ask for something from this young commander.
His dedication is obvious to all. It is enough. His contribution is profound enough for the entire football world.
Gerald Gerald has a simple smile and a simple happiness.
Aldrich laughed with Gerard’s neck in his arms, and Gerard bent his head slightly and shrugged his head, saying: "Coach, today I..."
"Needless to say, Steven, enjoy the victory before going to bed today, wake up tomorrow and forget about the game, and then our eyes turn to the semi-finals. Today, you are great and our hero."
Gerald straightened up and walked with Aldridge to the other three lion players.
They thanked the fans on the sidelines together and cheered passionately with the fans at the same rhythm.
Today's victory is of great significance, referring to the record.
The England World Cup has had the local championships in the past, and this achievement, in the summer of 2002, was led by Aldridge to lead the Three Lions to win overseas and surpass.
As for the European Cup, the England team's performance is terrible.
The best result is just the semi-finals.
When generally listing the results of team competitions, traditional football powers will not be ranked outside the non-final runner-up.
Fortunately, the World Cup has a third place battle, but the European Cup does not.
Therefore, the semi-finals are the semi-finals, the third or the fourth. They are only arranged through statistics. That is to say, the two teams that were eliminated in the semi-finals did not directly confront each other. Ranking by data is not persuasive.
And Aldridge led his team to defeat Greece today, and in the European Cup record, it also tied the best record in the history of the English national team in the European Cup!
Final Four!
Win another game and England will set an unprecedented European Cup achievement!
In an interview after the game, Aldridge's expression relaxed.
"England performed very well today and could not find the flaws of this team. The players actively and seriously cooperated with the training. The efforts to prepare for this game have paid off. We did not give the Greek team any chance on the court. Did this create the European Cup? The record? Not important, we don’t care, because we care more about victory. Now that we have won, we will prepare for the semifinals next. With the current state and attitude of England, I don’t think the England team will be afraid of any opponents. We It also has the strength and confidence to win honors."
When the reporter heard Aldridge’s words, he asked:
You have always been very cautious. Why do you announce that the team is going to win the championship after entering the semi-finals today?

Aldridge chuckled and said: "First of all, England has always been in the media to win the championship. Of course, we also have ambitions to win the championship, otherwise? What are we doing here? At the quarterfinals, four teams Who will win the championship? The chances of the four teams themselves are not small. At this time, I think that the ambition of the champions can stimulate the motivation of the players!"
"Denmark and the Czech Republic, if England meets Denmark, the probability of winning will be higher?"
"I don’t think so. The Danes have created a miracle. If you reach the top 8 or the top 4 and look at the opponents staying here in the usual way, then you will be surprised and scared. Fail! We don’t care who our opponent is."
"Did England take advantage of the schedule?"
"I can't say no, in fact, we will rest tomorrow, we can rest the day after tomorrow, but the Czech team will have a brutal life-and-death battle with the Denmark team, and then there will be another three days of truce. Then, when the semifinals arrive, the England team does Advantage, but this is not enough to let us relax our vigilance."
After the interview, Aldridge led the team back to the hotel to recover after the team game.
The atmosphere in the team was slightly more tense and dignified than after the battle with France. The atmosphere in the team after defeating Greece was cushioned and relaxed, and one by one, came to the best state.
Even Rooney, who previously asked Adrich for the main position in private, will not make any sound now, and he will wholeheartedly work as a part of the team for the subsequent battle.
After advancing to the semifinals, the England team tied the best record in history. At this time, everyone understands that as long as they take a step forward, they will create a new history of the European Cup in England, and the team's centripetal force is fully guaranteed.
Whether their opponent is Czech or Denmark.
The England team does have a physical advantage.
Prior to this, the European Cup has been a three-day one match, and the group stage is an eight-day three match. This density is very serious on the player's physical load!
England's strategic advantage was well utilized in this campaign.
The group stage came out in advance, the main force has a week of physical pressure buffer, now after playing Greece, there is another 5 days to rest, on the contrary, Czech or Denmark, only 3 days to recover and prepare for battle.
But the Czech Republic or Denmark also have certain advantages, presumably the organizers also take this factor into account.
Therefore, the venues of the Czech Republic and Denmark, at Porto Dragon Stadium, the winners of these two teams will also play in the semi-final match at this stadium, and the England team will go to Porto from Lisbon the next day. However, Portugal itself is not big, such travel costs can be ignored, at most only familiar with the venue and environment, not as familiar as opponents.
England advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Cup.
Britain celebrated, Fleet Street sang praises for the Three Lions, and the slogan for winning the championship was already screamed. At this time, it was more confident.
As for the England team suppressing the Greek team in the whole game so that the opponent did not shoot once, it was regarded as a myth.
After all, the Greek team is a dark horse that has made upsets in both Portugal and Spain. Not only can it suppress the Greek team, making it like a beast, but it has no resistance to struggle. It really shocks Fleet Street.
The next day, the England team conducted restorative training in the morning and took a holiday in the afternoon. In the evening, the team went to Porto.
On this day, the third quarter-final of the European Cup kicked off.
The Netherlands and Sweden exchanged free throws in 120 minutes, and then took a penalty shootout.
The Netherlands defeated the Swedish team by 5:4 and luckily reached the semifinals.
This victory was particularly difficult for the Dutch team.
This is the first time in 12 years that they have not fallen to the penalty shootout!
In the 1992 European Cup, the penalty shootout was lost to Denmark.
The 1994 World Cup was directly eliminated by Brazil in the quarterfinals.
In the European Cup in 1996, the penalty shootout was lost to France.
In the 1998 World Cup, the penalty shootout was lost to Brazil.
In the European Cup in 2000, the penalty shootout was lost to Italy.
In 2002... they didn't go to the World Cup.
In the past six competitions, the Dutch team missed one session, of which four of the five sessions were lost to the penalty shootout!
Therefore, the Dutch team has a 12-year penalty shootout spell. Today, the spell is broken. The Dutch team advances to the quarterfinals of the European Cup and will compete with Portugal's Alvaradena for final tickets.
Another day later, the Czech Republic and Denmark competed for the final semi-finals at Porto Dragon Stadium.
In the first half, the two teams evenly divided, but in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.
The Czech team scored three goals in 20 minutes after the start of the second half, not only kicked the Danish team off the cliff, but also buried the body of the Danish team.
England's opponents in the semifinals came out: Czech team!
The Czech team is not a dark horse, absolutely not, not to mention that the Czech team’s national team has played extremely eye-catching in the past. Just eight years ago, the Czech team was the runner-up of the European Cup. Coincidentally, where they won the runner-up, It was in England, and the runner-up was an honor that the England team never had.
