The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little bit late, I hope readers don't pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Greece defeated the Czech Republic in the semi-finals and broke into the European Cup final for the first time in history. This news made countless experts smash their glasses.No one could have imagined that Greece, which was only considered to be just passing through this European Cup, would make persistent efforts to beat France and the Czech Republic in the knockout stage after unexpectedly qualifying for the qualifying round, and successfully won a What about the ticket to Lisbon?

Therefore, when people saw that Greece really stood out from a strong team and successfully joined Italy in the European Cup final, countless praises were poured out on Greece—of course, most of them were praising Greece. The coach, who once created the miracle of Kaiserslautern, belongs to Rehhagel.

Most fans believe that Otto the Great can be said to have contributed a lot to Greece's achievement in this European Cup.Without the old coach's strategizing and iron fist to rule the team, it is still unknown whether Greece will even enter the European Cup finals, let alone enter the European Cup finals.

Although Greece's style of play is very dull and unattractive, and the team lacks enough big-name players, these have made the star flavor of this European Cup final a lot less, and it has a more grassroots flavor.But the fans still welcomed the upcoming European Cup final with great enthusiasm, and did not lose their due passion for this decisive battle because the star flavor faded.

After all, for grassroots teams like Greece, people tend to look at them with a very tolerant attitude.Especially when they played far beyond people's expectations, except for those fans who stubbornly insisted that only "offensive football is real football", most fans recognized the strength of this Greek team, and there were many neutral fans Even became their supporter because of this.

The impact of Greece's entry into the European Cup final is far more than that.The most important point of their impact on European football is that since this European Cup, most of the head coaches have begun to change their inherent football concepts and instead study overall football and its related tactics!

If it is said that Ranieri's Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League this season under the circumstances that no one is optimistic about, making people realize the importance of overall football, then Rehhagel's Greece led by Rehhagel has achieved a series of achievements in this European Cup. The results undoubtedly deepened people's awareness and understanding of this concept.

No matter how strong a player is, when he faces a sufficiently tight defensive system, even if he is Ronaldo or Maradona, it is impossible to score easily, and when a team no matter When both offense and defense can play high-quality team football, even if the team lacks superstars with outstanding abilities, they can still achieve good results in the game.This is what Greece and Chelsea have given people, a change in football philosophy.

So, as Greece went further and further in the European Cup, team football and collective defense began to thrive in European football.More and more teams are beginning to pay more attention to the role of the team in the game, instead of formulating tactics around a certain star, and using the star's personal ability to win.

However, in the eyes of the fans, Italy, which has a clear advantage in terms of staffing and overall strength, is still the most promising team to win the championship trophy.Many people believe that Italy is very hopeful to break the curse of no defending European Cup in this cup and become the first team to successfully defend the Delaunay Cup!

After all, Italy and Greece are too similar in tactics.Both teams focus on defensive counterattack tactics, and both advocate relying on a tight defensive system and simple quick counterattacks to win in the game, rather than counting on a superstar's flash of inspiration—perhaps Italy used to have some offense in the past. Rely on Vieri's personal ability, but since this European Cup, Italy has also begun to pay attention to teamwork on the offensive end.

The reason why Milito was able to take the top scorer list in this European Cup is mainly because his positioning is the end point of the team's offense, and naturally he gets more shooting opportunities. It does not mean that Italy can only count on He comes to score.In fact, if Milito is replaced by Vieri or Toni, the effect will not be worse.

Although the outside public opinion is almost one-sided in support of Italy to win the championship, but within the Azzurri, from coach Trapattoni to his players, none of them were affected by these voices. They still have a very high opinion of Greece. vigilance.

Perhaps before the start of the European Cup, no head coach of any strong team regarded Greece as a qualified opponent, but at this stage, if Trapattoni looks at Italy's opponent in the final with such an idea , then this gold medal coach must have had his head kicked by a donkey.

A team that can beat many strong teams such as Portugal, France, and the Czech Republic, no matter how weak they appear to the outside world, or even actively show weakness, will definitely not be really a weak team.Otherwise, wouldn't it prove that France and the Czech Republic, which lost to Greece, are not even as good as a weak team?

Trapattoni and Italian players would never make such a mistake, especially the Fiorentina players who had just suffered a big loss from Chelsea.Pirlo and Nesta even specially organized a group of people. After the training, they squatted in the room every day and repeatedly studied the Greek game video, which is enough to show their importance to this opponent.

Looking at Greece, after learning that the team had reached the European Cup finals in history, a large number of Greek fans in Greece rushed to the streets to spontaneously celebrate this great moment!

As for the upcoming European Cup final, Greek fans said that they don't care about the result of this game at all.Because for them, the team's ability to reach the final is already something worthy of their congratulations.Therefore, no matter what the final result is, they will welcome these heroes back home with the warmest applause!

Although Greek fans are very open to this, the Greek Football Association is obviously a little bit impatient at this time.After all, when the championship trophy, especially the European Cup championship, is placed in front of them, and it is almost within reach, few people can resist this huge temptation.What's more, once the Greek team successfully wins the European Cup, for these Football Association officials, the road to promotion in the future will undoubtedly be much smoother.

In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players, the Greek Football Association boldly promised the players before the game that if the team finally succeeds in winning the Delaunay Cup, then all the players will each receive a huge bonus of up to 100 million euros !
