Chapter 202 Pay tribute to the loser

Chapter 202 Pay tribute to the loser

Please salute the losers!

Although Turkey eventually lost the game 1:3, although it was the Belgians who entered the final, although Turkey failed to make another magical reversal. But people should still pay tribute to the losers. They are losers on the field, but they are winners in spirit. No one can forget their performance in this European Championship. They will be the same as the final champions. Forever in the history books of the European Championship.

If you don't believe that there are miracles in this world, then look at the Turks, they are miracles.

When the game was over, Degan walked to the mixed area, and when he was interviewed by the media, he said: "This is a European Championship that belongs to the Turks."

Degan seldom praises his opponents. What he likes is to beat the dog in the water. But when it comes to Turkey, Degan rarely gives a very high evaluation.

The Turks do have reason to be praised. In this European Cup, the Xingyue Legion has won the respect of everyone with their tenacious will. They cannot be defeated after the score, they cannot be defeated by penalty shootouts, and they cannot be defeated by injuries. Suspension can't break them either.

Facing Belgium, the big favorite before the game, Trim randomly put together a starting lineup, but the Belgians who easily eliminated Germany were extremely embarrassed and even took the lead in the game.

There are only 7 substitutes on the Turkish team's playing list, which is half less than the 12 players of the Belgian team. In fact, the 7 substitutes listed here are all the players of the Turkish team who have not been suspended and are eligible to play. There are even fewer who can actually play.

When the players were warming up before the game, the German team had a large group of substitute players walking monkeys. The Turkish team had only four substitutes playing juggling, Emre, Karadeniz, Metin and Mevlut, and another substitute , The goalkeeper Tolga, who claims to be able to play as a striker, is practicing the shot in front of the penalty area. This is all the chess pieces that Trim can mobilize, and Emre's injury has not yet allowed him to play.

If you want a more intuitive comparison, you may wish to imagine an England where James, Terry, Ferdinand, Lampard, Beckham, Joe Cole, Owen, and Rooney cannot play. The second Turkish team almost overturned the European Red Devils.

After the game, even Belgian coach Antiiennis said that he was very lucky to win: "This is a very difficult game. The Turks are very tenacious and strong. We didn't play as comfortable as the game against the German team. Fortunately, the end result is what we hoped for."

No one thought that the Turks, whose lineup was seriously disorganized, started the game with a wild attack. Although there were no soldiers available on the bench, Trim still directed the team to press the whole court.

The fans were stunned, and the Belgian team was also stunned. They were completely overwhelmed by the strong momentum of the Turks. Within 20 minutes before the opening, they were unable to successfully deliver the football to the opponent's half.

Trim chose the Belgian team's right line of defense guarded by Van Buyten, who performed well in the previous games, as the main breakthrough point. He made full use of the space left after Van Buyten's assist and the weakness of Belgium's lack of protection to launch a fierce attack. , and finally scored a goal.

Although the Turks took the lead for only a short time and were immediately equalized by Degan's free kick, the Turks seemed not to give up at all. In the second half, the Star-Moon Legion, which was behind in the score, continued to attack fiercely, constantly improving their skills Statistics, the two full-backs Kazim and Boral are particularly active, making the two wingers of Belgium jittery.

Although the decline in physical strength prevented the Turks from pressing as crazy as they did in the first half, they were still able to use their tenacious will to control the game.

Although the Turks still had to say goodbye to this European Championship in the end, they left with their heads held high, and they have done the best they can.

After achieving a major reversal in three consecutive games, the luck of the Star-Moon Legion finally ran out.

From a 1:0 lead to a 1:3 final defeat, the Turkish team exposed a big problem when their magical aura gradually faded. They couldn't play when they were leading.

From the first round of the group stage, the Turks have staged a shocking Jedi reversal in every game. In the game against Belgium, they conceded a goal first, and scored two goals in a row. In the game against Switzerland, they overtook the score in the 92nd minute. Three goals were reversed, and in the quarter-finals, Turkey scored an equalizer in the last minute of overtime.

In this game, Turkey unexpectedly took the lead early. In the previous few games, the Turks overtook the score at the last moment of the game and had almost no chance to play with the lead. However, this time they scored early , Only 4 minutes after holding the lead in his hands, his door was knocked open by the Belgian team.

Immediately afterwards, before the end of the first half, the Belgian team overtook the score again. This time, the goddess of victory "abandoned" them. In the second half, Gul's penalty kick made the Turks finally come to the end of this European Championship.

There are always winners and losers in football games, but today, God did not choose the tenacious Turks, but let the Belgians have the last laugh.

However, being able to reach the semi-finals, and the process is so thrilling, the performance of the Turks in this European Cup can also be called miraculous, and they have repeatedly staged miraculous reversals at the last moment, allowing them to capture the hearts of countless fans.

It is a pity that Belgium, led by Digan, rejected Turkey's insistence, but in any case, the Turkish team can leave Switzerland with pride. Perhaps, from today onwards, people will have a pair of insistence The relentless new way to describe it: "Today, did you turkey?"

The tenacity of the Turks has a long history. Since the 11th century, the Turks have been using force to fight for their freedom and the right to live. Just like their insistence on freedom and belief, there has never been a lack of some people in the blood of this nation. Respect and some lovely virtues.

There is no doubt that in this European Cup, although the performance of the Turks cannot be called great, at least they are excellent. In the reversal after another, the Turks showed the world their tenacity, a kind of Turkish madness, A respectable ethos, a never-say-die attitude.

It is a little regretful that due to limited strength and the presence of remnants, the Xingyue Legion encountered the Belgian team with the world's number one star Digan in the semifinals.

Although the opening score made Turkey seem so close to the miracle, it is a pity that this time Turkey is too far from God and too close to Belgium.

Too much fatigue and injuries caused the Turks to fall when they were only one step away from a miracle. With such results, the Turks can leave the European Cup with pride.

UEFA also praised Turkey's performance in this European competition after the game: "It is a Turkish success to reach the semi-finals in a huge dilemma, and it is a reward for perseverance. The Turks have shown people The charm of football, and Turkey's success this time will also be a miracle that cannot be replicated, they have truly made history."

Perhaps, there is still a little regret, the Turks are always under pressure in this European Cup, and they are always in a situation where they need to reverse their opponents.

Throughout the European Cup, the total time the Turkish team was in the lead was only a dozen minutes. There is no doubt that the performance of the Turks in the first half of the game is always somewhat disappointing.

Maybe they can complain about the constant heavy rain, but it seems that their problems come more from their own coach. Trim achieved a certain degree of success in Italy that year and then became the coach of AC Milan.

But in this position, Trim did not sit for long.

reason?

Trim can always make the best adjustments during the half-time break, allowing the team to reap the victory in the second half, but there are always problematic arrangements in the first half, so that the AC Milanese have to finally give up on Trim persist in.

Over the past 10 years, Turkish football has made great progress, but the problem of Trim seems to have remained for many years.

In any case, Turkey's performance in this European Cup is successful. Perhaps next time, they will go further, and they will surely bring more surprises to the football world.

Although the Turks did not perform miracles again, they are worthy of this game, both on the scene and in terms of statistics. They won the respect of their opponents and everyone with their tenacity in this game.

After the game, the Turkish players were all standing on the court, some were downcast, some were crying in a low voice, but the head coach Trim did not hang his head all the time, he walked into the court with his head held high, encouraging his disciples to cheer up.

Then Trim walked towards the Belgian coach's bench in a very gracious manner to congratulate Antiiennis on the victory. At this time, the Belgian coaches and Football Association officials who had been hugging together suddenly stood in a row and collectively applauded Trim. And one by one with this respected Tieshuai high-five salute.

When he came to the press conference, Trim still held his head high. He said to all the reporters present: "I am very sad, we almost entered the final, but after leading, we don't know how to play football. But one thing we can't forget is that Turkey is a country that is crazy about football, 70 million hearts are beating for football, although we failed to stand in the final, I believe our fans will be proud of us."

"Belgium is a strong opponent. It's too late for me to say anything. If we win, people may ask this question. The result of the game is the result. I think it is fair. Everyone can see that we played very well. Good, but the Belgians play better."

The result of the game is fair, but the process of the game is not necessarily. People admire the persistence of the Turks, but there is also a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, Turkey was indeed taken care of by the referee during the game.

The reporters also hoped to dig out some exciting news from Antiiennis or the Belgian players, but the Belgians let them down.

Antiiennis said in an interview at the press conference: "I don't want to comment on the referee's work. Everyone has their own job. I don't want to comment too much. If you want, we can concentrate our time on this. In this game, Turkey was an excellent opponent. They played very tenaciously. For a period of time, we were at a loss, but fortunately, the final result of the game was satisfactory. We won. After 28 years, Belgium once again I have reached the final of the European Cup, now I only want to think about the next opponent, Spain, or Russia, no matter who the opponent is, we hope to go further!"

Antiiennis cleverly avoided the question about the referee. Degan, who was interviewed in the mixed zone, also had the same plan: "Referee? I'm sorry, I don't want to mention him now. How about his job, it shouldn't be up to him. I will judge, I believe that Mr. Platini should have his own opinion, for today's game, the Turks did a good job, they played very tenaciously, yes! I admire them, at least their tenacity is indeed worthy of Belgium Football learning! The next opponent? I hope it is Spain! In fact, after the game three years ago, I often heard that they want revenge, similar to this, I am willing to give them this chance, even though, against Russia It's a bit unfair, they also have the right to fight for the honor of the country, but if I say it, the strength of Spain is indeed higher than that of Russia, this is a fact!"

Spain's match against Russia is the same as the match between Belgium and Turkey. Turkey once defeated Belgium in the group stage, and Russia also lost to Spain 1:4 in the group stage.

Now that Belgium has succeeded in revenge, Russia certainly wants to go further. After watching the game between Belgium and Turkey, Russia's coach Guus Hiddink is already sketching out a tactical arrangement for dealing with the Spaniard in his mind.

Although Russia has also left a deep impression on people in this European Cup, but when it comes to strength, as Digan said, Russia is far behind Spain.

Now the only thing Russia can count on is Hiddink's magic, but no matter how amazing Hiddink is, he has never led a national team to the final of an international competition.

The best results are probably South Korea in 2002, and Russia now. Everyone knows what happened in South Korea at the beginning. The Koreans have brought shamelessness to the extreme. At the same time, Hiddink showed a little bit of magic. , Russia is the real thing, but facing Spain, Hiddink's miracle may have expired.
