After losing to Germany one-to-two, there was a wail in the Netherlands, and the Dutch team's prospects in the European Cup were generally degraded. The Telegraph of the Netherlands used such a news to evaluate the performance of the Dutch team in this European Cup: "Dutch team: What are you left besides shame?"

This title is very sharp. From this we can see how dissatisfied the Dutch media are with the current performance of the Dutch team.

The Dutch Telegraph wrote in the article: In the fierce battle on the second day of Group B, Portugal, which lost in the first round, had already cheered up and scored three points, while the Dutch team, which was upset in the first round, did not even tie the score. After two consecutive losses in the group, the Dutch team set a series of shameful records. If there is no miracle and the Dutch team is out of the group, the Orange Army will set the worst record in the team's European Cup history. People can't help but ask, why did the strong team that tied the team's best record in the World Cup in South Africa two years ago, now fell into such a field?

In the South African World Cup two years ago, the Dutch team was fluttering in orange clothes, with a huge momentum and a sharp style. They were once considered a favorite to win the championship. Although they were unable to win the championship in the end, they were also the runner-up in the world. Now this Dutch team is a bit more personnel from the previous Dutch team, but the general skeleton is still there, and the team's youth structure is more rational. Even if this team cannot keep up with the Dutch team two years ago, it is not much different?

However, the performance of this Dutch team is really sad. The two consecutive losses in the group have pulled out their glamorous outerwear, leaving behind a shame of being naked!

Today's Dutch team continued to lose, there were two shameful records set. First, since the European Cup was set up in 1980, the Dutch team had never suffered a two-game losing streak in the group stage. In history, the Dutch team lost in the first game. In 1988, the Dutch team came to lose, but from the second game, the Dutch team fought back and finally won the championship. Today's Dutch team set a precedent in history, which is worrying.

Second, since 1988, not only the European Cup, but also the World Cup, the Dutch team has never been able to get a single point after two games.

The worst competition in 24 years, the first two consecutive losses in 32 years, and the worst first half in a century, all these data prove that no matter whether what has troubled the Dutch team is internal strife, coach crisis or state crisis, in short, this Dutch team is already challenging the lower limit of team history and is already challenging the bottom limits that people have endured. If these players do not want to leave their names in the history of national football in an ugly way, then they must do their best.

Given that the possibility of the Dutch team qualifying in the group is extremely small, if the Dutch team is out of the group, they will set another bad record: the last time the Dutch team was eliminated in the European Cup was in the 1980 European Cup. The Dutch team fell into the death group, eventually defeated Greece, lost Germany, and tied Czechoslovakia. With four-point goal difference, they were eliminated by Czechoslovakia with four-point goal difference. Since then, as long as the Netherlands is qualified to participate in the competition, the Dutch team has never been eliminated by the group, whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup. So this time, will the Dutch team challenge the lower limit of the team's history?

By this time, Dutch fans believe that the Dutch team is not considering qualifying in the group, but playing the minimum dignity that Dutch football should have!

Yes, the Dutch team has lost all its face to this point. Now the Dutch team should not consider a glorious cause, but the minimum dignity of Dutch football, fighting for the dignity of Dutch football.

Everyone is happy and the other is worried. Now Germany is full of joy. The German national team has continued their good performance. The German team won two consecutive victories in the group and qualifying is basically in sight. Of course, the German fans are very happy.

"Bodiac" reported the game with the title "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you guys!": Lov made the Netherlands have no victory! In this game, the German team deserved to defeat the Orange Army 2-1, and the opponent in the last round was Denmark, but the situation was clear. The problem faced by the Dutch is that they still have not scored a point. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you players! Gong Zheng scored twice in this game and strongly responded to the criticism of the ard rating expert Sauer. Lov also praised his beloved player after the game. German midfielder Schweinsteiger also performed well and contributed two assists. The only regret in this game was that Boateng received a yellow card and the next game against Denmark was suspended.

After the game, when Al Yang Robben was replaced, he rushed back to the locker room and was also asked by the media. In this game, Al Yang Robben actually performed, but this guy scored another goal, and his way of playing football was a little different from the first game. This guy passed a lot more, although he still looked a little unique.

Al-Yang Robben's behavior shows his dissatisfaction with head coach Van Marvik. It is no secret that the Dutch players are dissatisfied with head coach Van Marvik. Hunterlaer, Van der Fate and De Jong dare to publicly question head coach Van Marvik. Therefore, Al-Yang Robben's move is quite mild.

However, when interviewed by reporters after the game, Al Yang Robben was not that gentle. He directly questioned the use of head coach Van Marvik in front of the reporter. He didn't understand why Van Bomel was still in the starting lineup, and was also very dissatisfied with his substitution. He didn't understand that he was in good shape at the time and shouldn't have been replaced at all.

The Dutch team lost consecutive games, not only did they lose the hearts of the people, but also the unity within the team. Now the Dutch team has come to an end. At this time, almost everyone gave up on the Dutch team. In the last round, the Dutch team must not even be able to cover the fig leaf.

The German team was very happy. Loew had a day off directly and agreed to the German team's wife group and the players to get together, as if they were going to have a party.

At this time, the European Cup did not stop. The second round of the third group began to play. The first game was Italy against Croatia. In the first round of the group, Italy missed the chance to win the finals with Spain. This time, facing Croatia, which won the first round of the group, Italy was three-pointer.

Of course, Italy understands that only by getting three points in Croatia can they take the initiative to qualify in their own hands. Croatia also understands that as long as they get three points in Italy, they can qualify in the group one round in advance.

Both teams continued to use the first round lineup, Balotelli continued to start, Buffon and Casano played together for the ninth European Cup, second only to the Italian record held by Piero and Zambrota. Croatian captain Serna played seven games in the European Cup, tying the Balkan player record held by Stoykovic.

At the beginning of the game, the Italian team launched a fierce attack, and of course they hoped to win the opponent. However, Croatia is not easy to bully, and Italy is difficult to resist the attack of Croatia, so after the first half, Italy did not occupy the top of the scene. The Croatian team occupied the top of the scene, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, the first goal was the Italian. Italy took the lead in the 39th minute! Rakitic fouled Balotelli, and Pirlo took the free kick 23 meters away from the goal on the left and crossed the wall and drilled into the lower corner of the near post, one to zero. Pirlo, who was thirty-three years old and twenty-six days old, surpassed Zidane (31 years old and three hundred and fifty-six days) and became the oldest free kick player in the European Cup. His nearly five national team goals were all set pieces (three free kicks, two penalty kicks).

The Italians were able to accept the goal with a direct free kick in the good situation, which made the Croatians unable to accept it. They should have led the way. After that, Croatia launched a fierce attack, Crosia's offense became more and more fierce, while Italy began to regain its defense and counterattack.

However, Croatia's offense became more and more powerful and the threat was getting bigger and bigger. However, Croatia did not break through the Italian goal. In the 72nd minute of the game, Strinic made a cross from the left, and Manju Kic reversed offside and unloaded the ball from the back point and shot into the near corner five meters away from the goal, one-to-one. Manju Kic scored three goals in four shots in this cup, tying Davao Suk's European Cup goal record.

In the end, the result of this game was unsatisfied with both sides. The two sides tied one-to-one, and Croatia temporarily ranked first in the group.

The second game of the third group was really played between Spain and Ireland. The gap in strength between Spain and Ireland is very large. Spain's victory in this game should be no problem. As expected, the Spanish team opened the price of the game and defeated the opponent with four-to-zero, so as to show the invincibility of the first round.

In this way, the Spanish national team came from behind, scored four points, and put Croatia under his control with the advantage of goal difference, ranking first in the third group, while Italy tied two consecutive draws to third in the group, and Ireland ranked at the end of the group with two consecutive losses and was swept out.

After the third group match, the second round of the fourth group began. The first round of the second round of the group was Ukraine, one of the hosts, against France. Ukraine defeated Sweden 2-1 in the first round of the group, and France temporarily ranked first in the group after experiencing the ugliest game with England.

However, in terms of strength in this game, Ukraine, one of the hosts, is much weaker than France, but Ukraine is not without opportunities, especially after Ukraine's star Shevchenko showed good condition in the first round of the game, the Ukrainian team had more expectations for the European Cup held in the local area.

However, the most important thing in the game is to gain strength. After the start of the game, the Ukrainian team was suppressed by the French team. Shevchenko performed well in this game, but he did not get many opportunities, which made Ukrainian fans a little anxious.

However, the French team broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute of the game. Benzema passed the ball, and Menes calmly shot into the near corner from the 14 yards on the right side of the penalty area, one to zero. Three minutes later, Benzema made a straight pass, and Kabaye shot low from the lower right corner from the 15 yards under Gusef's close-fitting defense, 2 to zero.

The French team spliced ​​Benzema's two assists, defeating Ukraine 2-0, temporarily becoming the first in the group.

The next game will be a highly-watched game in this group, that is, Sweden vs. England, and these two teams are old enemies.
Chapter completed!
