Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 177 The final battle of life and death is coming, those familiar figures in the stands (please vote for me)
Next, Chen Yufeng watched the European Cup game again with the Belgian team members and studied tactics with Mr. Wilmots.

The first match was in Group A. Switzerland first drew [-]-[-] with France, and then Romania lost [-]-[-] to Albania.

After these two games, France directly joined hands with Switzerland to qualify as the top two in the group, locking in two places in Group A.

As for Albania, which ranks third in the group, it has only three points and a poor goal difference, and is almost eliminated.

Then, the final battle in Group B began. Slovakia first drew with England [-]-[-] and gained a valuable point.

In the subsequent match, Wales won [-]-[-] and qualified directly with England.

Because Slovakia has four points, it can be said that it has an advantage in advancing to third place in the group, so it can wait a little longer.

In the Group C match that started on June 6, Germany and Poland defeated Northern Ireland and Ermao with a score of 22-[-] respectively, and joined hands to qualify.

Immediately, the Group D match started directly. Croatia won Spain [-]-[-] and the Czech Republic lost [-]-[-] to Turkey.

The situation looks a bit chaotic, but Croatia and Spain started so well that they still qualify together at this moment.

Türkiye, which won this round, is still ranked third.

At this point, the top eight places in the knockout round have all been cleared, with France, Switzerland, Wales, England, Germany, Poland, Croatia, and Spain advancing to the knockout round first.

Just listening to these names that are resounding in world football, anyone can understand the gold content of the European Cup...

The matches of the remaining two groups also started subsequently.

They will compete for four direct qualifying spots, and then the organizers will put all the third-placed teams together to pick the final four spots.

In the Group F match that started first, Hungary drew with Portugal [-]-[-], and Iceland then defeated Austria [-]-[-].

What is somewhat surprising is that Hungary and Iceland qualified first and second in the group respectively, while Portugal had three draws in three games. We still need to wait for news from other groups...

Finally, the Group E match is finally here.

There is no staggered time, all will be placed at 6:23 pm on June 02.

When the match day arrives, all the players prepare early and arrive at the Grand Stade de Bordeaux.

The third round of the group stage is about to start here.

"The group stage games are almost over. We can't take this game lightly, do you understand?"

Mr. Wilmots was making final mobilization preparations in the locker room, "It is possible for Ireland to beat Italy, which has no desires and desires. Our situation is not safe!"

"The Swedish team's style is not like the first two teams. They will attack us. Don't be afraid when the opponent's offensive is overwhelming. Don't lose your confidence! Press out and fight! Until they are defeated! Okay?"

The players of the Belgian team clapped and encouraged each other. They had just won a big victory, and their fighting spirit was not bad.

They then came to the player tunnel and prepared to go on stage.

Wilmots also used the same defense as he played in this game. It seems that he finally tested a usable defense.

But no matter what, their back line of defense still has hidden dangers.

This hidden danger will become greater as the opponent becomes stronger.

It may not be obvious now, but it may become apparent in the future when facing traditional strong teams like Germany, Spain, and France...

There's nothing we can do about it. The Belgian genius' blowout seems to have only affected the midfield and frontcourt.

The defender combination is not even considered a first-tier team in Europe.

The frontcourt is picturesque, and the backcourt... we can only count on Alderweireld and Meunier at the moment.

"Beep!"

Not long after, with a whistle, players from both sides appeared.

The theme song of the European Cup played at the scene, and Chen Yufeng followed the players of the Belgian team out.

As a player with three goals and two assists in two games, he is now firmly established as the main player, and there is no suspense.

At the last moment of his appearance, Chen Yufeng lowered his head and touched the turf to get a feel for the field.

This is also a tense game. If the opponent wins, they may face elimination...

Looking to the side, Chen Yufeng saw the proud back.

It's Sweden's No. [-] Ibrahimovic. He is wearing yellow clothes today, which is considered a relatively conventional outfit.

For Da Fengxian, Chen Yufeng admired him very much whether he was a fan or a player.

He likes many qualities of this player very much, and there was a time when he paid close attention to his performance.

This is the first absolute superstar Chen Yufeng has encountered among his opponents in the European Cup!
He couldn't help but become excited and liked this feeling very much.

Anyone who dreams of standing in this arena must have one goal in mind, and that is to play against the top superstars, try to win, and try to see the frustration on their faces!

This is not something to be embarrassed to say. Football is such a sport. Only when one party is extremely disappointed will the victory of the other party become more brilliant.

Chen Yufeng hopes to become the winner today and enter the knockout rounds of the European Cup with Belgium. It was a completely different place, and once you got there, everything was different.

Sixteen into eight, eight into four, four into two, two to one!

Every step will be taken very quickly. You only have to strive for victory. After a few games, you may find yourself in a completely different position.

But equally, you may be eliminated quickly, and any small mistake in this may directly cause you to lose the right to compete.

It was an extremely exciting game that would make everyone's blood boil instantly.

If you can really go further and look back, it will definitely be a different scenery...

On the other side, Ibrahimovic is constantly taking deep breaths to adjust his mentality.

Looking at the Swedish fans who filled most of the stands near the stadium, his eyes revealed some belief in victory.

After this European Cup, he decided to quit the Swedish national team.

He doesn't want to disappoint the fans in this last dance. His career has received too much attention and support from them, and he doesn't want his last attempt to end with him failing to qualify from the group.

"Remember, you are only fighting for the fans and yourself, not for me."

During the cheers before the start, Ibrahimovic finally spoke to his teammates, with very determined eyes: "I hope we can give an explanation to the fans."

"Even if we still fail to qualify in the end, at least we can use our momentum and fighting spirit to create some trouble for the Belgians!"

"One two three! Sweden! Charge!!"

After the final cheers, Ibrahimovic led the boys to form a line and wait for the situation on the Belgian side.

After Belgium's cheering ended, the players from both sides stood in the center circle and followed the fans in counting down before hearing the referee blow the whistle to start the game.

"Beep!!"

"Bang!" Lukaku passed the ball to De Bruyne, and De Bruyne turned and passed the ball to Meunier in the backcourt.

Sweden's three fronts pressed out at this moment and rushed towards the Belgian team's backcourt, very fiercely.

They were not on the defensive. On the contrary, they wanted to fight Belgium for a final try!
Of course, that doesn't mean they don't care about defense.

Today, many Swedish attackers have defensive tasks. In such a game, they will definitely run hard and fight until the last minute!
"CCTV, what you are watching now is one of the last two group matches of the 2016 European Cup, the match between Belgium and Sweden."

Coach He Wei, who is familiar to Chinese fans, finally announced the Belgian team on this day and began to broadcast for the fans at the scene, "On the left side of the screen, the people wearing red jerseys are the Belgian team, and on the other side is the Swedish team. ."

"Let's see who of the two teams can have the last laugh and seize this nine-and-10-minute game."

During the group stage, He Wei did not directly release too many classic quotes. He was more in the subsequent knockout rounds and finals.

But no matter what, his poetic voice still makes everyone feel very comfortable, so they fall in love with his commentary.

"Ohhhhhh..."

As soon as the game started, there were constant cheers from the fans, as if there were important people qualifying in the stadium.

The first person targeted by the broadcast camera was Ranieri, the legendary coach who has become famous this season and completed the Blue Fox Miracle on behalf of Leicester City.

Over this period of time, he has almost become a household name in world football, and everyone knows his legendary and inspirational stories.

"This is Leicester City coach Claudio Ranieri. We saw that he also came to watch the Belgian team's game today. There is a reason for this. I think everyone knows what it is without me introducing it too much."

Immediately afterwards, the screen looked behind Ranieri again, and Mahrez's face appeared in the camera. It seemed that he and the coach had agreed to come to France to watch the game together.

"Oh? This is Chen Yufeng's good friend Mahrez in the Leicester City team. He also appeared at the game today. It seems that he was cheering for his good friend."

He Wei's voice sounded again, and along with the cheers of the fans at the scene, he once again introduced the fans, "Mahrez, this is also a meritorious player for Leicester City to win the Double Championship this year."

"His worth soared to 500 million euros after the season, but he did not choose to leave Leicester City. Let's see if his arrival will give Chen Yufeng some encouragement."

The broadcast camera rotated several times again, seeing many celebrities, until the camera stopped at a place in the Belgian fan zone.

He Wei cast his gaze over and felt a little surprised when he saw this figure, "We saw that Taylor Swift appeared here in the Belgian fan area, which surprised me!"

"Why did she appear at the European Cup and watch the game from the fans' stands?"

"Taylor Swift is an American diva-level music figure who enjoys a high reputation throughout the world. She is a Grammy diva and the most outstanding female musician in the world. She has extremely outstanding talents and looks. ."

"We saw that the fans of the Belgian team were quite friendly. After they found out it was her, they didn't get too excited. They just cheered for a moment."

"Perhaps, this is the impact of the charming sport of football. You will find that when such a well-known female star appears here, she will not be pursued by the fans. Their eyes will only be on the 22 players on the field. Come on people.”

Speaking of this, He Wei's voice revealed a hint of curiosity, "I'm also very curious. Taylor Swift is not a football fan, so why did she come to watch a football match with the Belgian team?"

"In such competitions, the appearance of these international superstars will often appear in the stands of the host country."

"Let the media dig into this issue. We will focus on the court."
