Vol 6 Chapter 37: European Cup, start

Poland and Ukraine are both typical Central European countries, with Germany to the west, Russia to the east, the Baltic Sea to the north, and a dense cluster of small Eastern European countries to the south.

The 2012 European Cup will be jointly hosted by these two countries. This is the third time in the history of the European Cup that the two countries have jointly hosted the European Cup. It is also the 14th European Cup.

This year the two sides will each have 4 city venues, and finally form a total of 8 competition cities. The opening ceremony and opening match will be held in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and the final final will be held in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

It is said that there are only 16 teams in the European Cup, and even if it reaches the end, it only needs to play 6 games. A total of 24 days are completed, an average of 4 days.

Compared with the World Cup, the frequency and number of games are less, but for European teams, the intensity is obviously stronger than that of the World Cup, because Europe has no underdogs, especially the teams that enter the European Cup finals, unlike the World Cup. Some African and Asian teams have a relatively large gap in level.

The grouping of the final stage has already been drawn up very early, divided into 4 groups.

Group A: Czech Republic, Greece, Russia, Poland

Group B: Germany, Portugal, Denmark, Netherlands

Group C: Spain, Italy, Croatia, Ireland

Group D: England, France, Ukraine, Sweden

Each group is a dead group, there is no obvious underdog, even a traditional strong team, it may not be able to ensure the qualifying, this is the European Cup.

The continent with the most developed football in the world, and even the European Cup will develop into a national league in the future, showing how far they have developed this sports industry.

In this summer, there is no buzzing Zula, and there are no other major events. All the eyes of the football world around the world are focused on Central Europe.

The America’s Cup and the Asian Cup have been held in the summer of 2011. I don’t know if it was to stagger the influential European Cup. Both continents put the competitions in odd years, and the interval between the competitions is very strange, especially the America’s Cup. The worst.

The Copa America was held once a year long ago, and then sometimes two years apart, sometimes three years, and it was not until 2007 that it was finally decided to be held every four years.

Although the European Cup does not have a century-long history as the America's Cup, it has been held every four years since the first French European Cup in 1960, completely following the rules of the World Cup and perfectly staggering the time of the World Cup.

Apart from the World Cup on this planet, the most influential national event is the European Cup. I believe that fans all over the world will not object to this.

In the past 13 years, Germany has won the championship three times, Spain and France twice, Italy, the Soviet Union, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Greece, and Denmark once each. I'm sorry, there is no England.

Their best achievement was the third place in 1996.

Here is a place where myths are easily born. Czech myths, Danish myths, and Greek myths are talked about by fans all over the world every time.

And this summer, will new myths be born? The world will wait and see.

...

Austria’s Irdning is still quite high and the sky is clear, the moon is clear and the wind is clear. On May 26, Makqin finished the last Copa del Rey final in Calderon. The next night, he flew directly by private jet. here.

The entire England coaching staff and 22 other players have been waiting for him here for nearly five days. There is no alternative, he is the only English national of both players in the Copa del Rey.

After Makqin arrived, he sorted out his outfits and came to participate in the team's collective meeting. Time was tight. England would not have a core without him, and many tactics would not be able to practice.

"Sorry, guys, I'm late." As soon as he entered the conference room, he smiled and greeted him. Most of them were old people from the World Cup, but there were also many newcomers.

In the past two years, Capello has been upgrading and upgrading many young faces back and forth. This time the 23-man rosters can be said to be old and new.

He definitely has ambitions for the results, so he didn't make too much effort to update the generation, but some obvious marginal figures in the past, this time Maqin did not see any.

The whole of England also reported a little in the media, and no one dared to disagree, because he won the second World Cup in England, and the whole of England is still waiting for him to win the European Cup.

At this time, Capello always said that he was the same, and more rigid than South Africa!

"Hey, Mark, the double crown king is cool", "Yeah, envy", there are many old people who watch him come in and play jokes with him casually, but there are also many newcomers who look at him like the underworld boss, cautious Dare to say hello.

Mark Qin glanced around and saw at least one-third of the newcomers. He said that Capello's strength is still OK, and it has been submitted now, and it cannot be changed if it is not due to injury.

England's 23rd National Congress:

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, Gran, Butland

Defenders: Terry, Ferdinand, Cahill, Lescott, Phil Jones, Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Barnes

Midfielder: Gerrard, Lampard, Maqin, Barry, Parker, Ashley Young, Milner, Chamberlain

Forwards: Rooney, Carroll, Defoe, Welbeck

Not seeing Crouch and Darren Bent made Mark Qin very surprised. Capello actually chose young players Carroll and Welbeck. It seems that the performance of these two players this season makes him very dissatisfied.

Moreover, Beckham finally wiped out the last trace of this national team. Now, here, it is the England team that belongs to Mark Qin. He is a symbol!

"Mark, sit down first, let's continue." Capello pointed to the seat, told him to sit down, and then resumed the meeting.

"Many veteran players who have played in the World Cup are aware of our rules during the World Cup. I think you have also communicated privately. Our preparation manual is also clearly written." Capello wears glasses in front Said without anger.

"Don't touch the bottom line, unless you can cope with the punishment. We are going to compete, not to pick up girls on vacation, although Ukrainian beauties are really good.

"Shh...", "Haha..."

Seeing Capello made a rare joke, there was a sudden commotion underneath. This also shows that the atmosphere in the team is relatively relaxed, especially Terry and Lampard. Mark Qin saw their previous faces after winning the Champions League this year. The depression was swept away, very refreshing.

People, no matter what, you still have to win to get the idea.

"Some of you have played in the qualifiers, some have not, or some of you may not have a minute of playing time during the game, but I ask, pay attention, not hope, but a requirement."

He increased his tone and made himself serious, and the players off the court stopped talking and laughing and continued to listen to the spirit of his boss's speech.

"Everyone must be fully engaged in training and contribute to the team, even on the training ground, especially many young people who are here for the first time. I hope this is a good learning opportunity for you, rather than going back to show off. Capital"

"Two years ago, we got the Hercules Cup, I believe you must be very cool"

"Now Mr. 8 goals and 7 assists are sitting next to you." He pointed his finger at Maqin. "Our tactics will not change. Some people are familiar, some are unfamiliar, or some people have forgotten, but I ask you to be here. In the next ten days, we will show the best attitude and deliberately integrate into tactics."

"European Cup, we are big favorites, who calls us World Cup champions? If you can't win the European Cup, this is a failure for you. It's cruel, right?"

With his words, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became more dignified, and many young players have really begun to take a serious look at this European Cup journey.

"Lastly, I will say it seriously, and it is the last time. This summer I have no absolute main force here. No matter how famous you are, even Mark, if you are in a bad state, you have to sit on the bench."

You can just blow it hard, some old people like Terry, Lampard, Gerrard, they slandered in their hearts, and they can lie to the children, you can really try.

But they didn't understand the sensuality on the surface, and instead displayed a determined attitude to cooperate with Capello's performance. At this time, no one would be stupid enough to confront Capello.

Now is the time for the England national team to make achievements. I missed it. Who knows if there is any chance in the future? Makqin is now in full swing, they only have the idea of ​​holding their thighs tightly in their hearts.

"I agree", Maqin directly raised his watch attitude, "I will try to adjust the state, the excitement of the World Cup in South Africa is now back in my heart, I want to do it again, if I can't play well, I have no objection to sitting in the stands."

"Agree" and "Agree", Maqin made a statement, and Gerrard, Lampard and other old people followed suit. They even cherished this opportunity more than Maakqin.

This may be their last European Cup!

How can they easily give up the glory of the champion? They have won the World Cup before. Although almost half a century has passed, they have never even made the final of the European Cup. If they can replicate the miracle of South Africa this time, they will definitely become the most brilliant in the history of English football. a part of.

"Very good, train tomorrow, show your attitude..."

...

Norway and Turkey are the opponents of the warm-up match arranged by the FA for the team this time. Because England has the Swedish team in the same group, the Nordic style of play before England was quite guilty, so this time, Norway was deliberately chosen.

In Irdning, who mainly regained his physical strength, Maqin continued his usual malaise before the big game in the two warm-up matches, with less running, fewer forwards and no shots.

Capello put him on the court only to let the newcomers familiarize themselves with his passing style as soon as possible. He has never asked much about Mark Qin's self-adjustment method.

It's that Maqin really can't run, as long as his legs keep on playing, UU reading www.uukanshu. com, he has to be the core, the darling of all England, the hero, unless he kills himself, otherwise no one dares to move him.

Saint Mark is more than just a nickname!

During the ten-day training of Irdning, there were two warm-up matches. On June 6, two days in advance, the whole England team officially boarded and set off for Poland.

For this European Cup, their training location is set at the Khutnik Municipal Stadium in the Polish city of Krakow. The conditions are naturally not as good as their location in South Africa, which is not satisfactory.

In this inland area of ​​central Europe, you want to find a prairie like South Africa, basically wishful thinking, and the football facilities in Poland itself are indeed not so developed.

As for why he did not choose Ukraine, Capello, who knows the virtues of the English players, naturally has his own ideas. It is better to stay away from the right and wrong.

"Come, here come", there was a lot of noise outside the airport. Many English fans were greeted here wearing the Three Lions jersey, holding the English flag, and posters of major stars.

"England, England..." When they appeared at the exit in a dark blue suit, the crowd instantly boiled and shouted.

It is said that in this European Cup, the number of away fans in England has even exceeded that of the World Cup in South Africa. You can imagine how crazy they are and how hot English football is now!

As soon as Maqin looked up, he saw a poster of himself, so he smiled and waved to the crowd, which immediately drew even greater cheers.

The bus was already waiting. Except for Capello, everyone else got on the bus in a hurry and did not accept any interviews. Capello faced the countless microphones in front of him and said:

"This is a brand new journey. We will try to create another summer of dreams..."
