In the match that followed, Belgium beat Hungary 4-0.
Kevin De Bruyne broke the deadlock with Alderwereirde, Eden Hazard extended the lead to 3-0 with a pass and a shot, and Nainggolan assisted Carrasco in injury time to seal the win.
In the quarterfinals, apart from the strong clash between Croatia and Portugal, the showdown between Italy and Spain was full of topics.
Spain were the last European Champions and they defeated Italy in the final.
At that time, the Spanish golden generation led by Bosque passed all the way
, advanced to the group stage with the first place, defeated
France 2-0 in the quarterfinals, drew 0-0
with Portugal within 120 minutes in the semifinals, eliminated the opponent 4:2 on penalties, and
in the final, Spain's midfielder dominated the game. The Spanish midfield, with Xavi and Andres Iniesta at its core, makes Italy look like an amateur team that can't play.
The conservative Italian team, which has always been weak in defense and attack, was crushed by Spain, and was dunked four goals by the opponent in such an important game as the European Cup final, which is strange.
The two teams met again in the quarterfinals of the European Championship
, the Spanish coach is still Bosque, the Spanish squad is almost still the same group
, the Italian head coach has been replaced by Kong Erzi, except for the veteran Buffon, the players in other positions have almost changed.
The Spanish team's pass-and-control style of play has declined, and the Italian team learned from the Netherlands' experience of beating Spain in the World Cup and sent the old wrongdoer back to his hometown 2:0.
In the last game of the quarterfinals, the star-studded England team played against the little-known
Iceland team, England won a penalty in the first 3 minutes, Rooney's penalty kick was overnight
, the English fans were still immersed in joy, Iceland's West Goodson quickly equalized the score
, ten minutes later, taking advantage of a counterattack, Iceland scored another goal, the score overtook England!
For the next seventy or eighty minutes, England were chasing the score frantically
until the end of the game, they could not recover the score, and in the end, Iceland eliminated the Three Meows 2:1, bursting the first upset of this European Cup!
Germany is aiming to win the title, and has not met a real strong team from the group stage all the way to the quarter-finals.
In the quarterfinals, Germany's opponent was Italy, and all three packages were divided, leaving Germany and Italy to meet together.
So far, the European Championship has been held 15 times, except for 1960, Italy has participated in a total of 14 European Cups, only winning the European Championship in 1968.
Italy is clearly inferior to Germany at the European Championship.
However, Italy has the upper hand in recent years, with Germany winning 1-4 and drawing 2 in the last seven meetings between the two teams.
At the pre-match press conference, some football media reporters questioned the Italian squad, saying that Conte did not bring Italy's really strong squad to France.
Conte said that choosing a player is like choosing a wife, choosing a wife can make mistakes, and you can never be wrong in choosing your own players, especially strikers and goalkeepers!
In the end, Conte did not forget to ridicule the Loew next to him, it seems that the German team did not bring the strongest team?
In this regard, Loew laughed, and Conte laughed along with him.
Conte said that the belief of the Italian team is to never give up, to win the European Championship you need good players, and the 23 people he selected are the best players in Italy at the moment!
A reporter asked how Italy should defend Jiang Ge?
Conte is confident that Italy are a defensive team and that if they can send defending champions Spain home, they will have a way to deal with Germany, although the opponent is indeed strong.
Loew praised Conte as a great coach and that Italy put a lot of pressure on Germany, who will stick to the defensive counter-attacking strategy to play this game.
As we all know, Italy is a team that features defensive counter-attacks, Loew said that the German team is going to play defensive counter-attacks, who will lead the attack?
Loew's starting lineup is
: goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defenders: Gosens, Boateng, Hummels, Correll;
Midfielders: Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Müller, Gnabry;
Forwards: Jiang Ge, Sane.
Germany's starting line-up was 4-4-2, but Loew changed line-up again, using three newcomers to start.
The usually conservative Italian called up a large number of young players in the European Championship, but Kong Er did not dare to send a large number of newcomers to start like Löw.
Goalkeeper: Buffon;
Defenders: Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini;
Midfielders: Florenzi, Sturaro, Parolo, Giaccherini, Desilio;
Forwards: Pellet, Eder.
Italy's starting line-up is 3-5-2, and compared to Germany, there are really no big names in the squad.
The referee of the match was the famous referee Viktor Kaushoi from Hungary.
In the JG Sports live broadcast room, the guest commentator invited by Zhan Jun tonight is still guided by Zhang Lu Zhang.
The referee blew his whistle and the game officially began.
Germany kicked off first, Kroos pushed the ball to Schweinsteiger behind
him, the piglet was divided, the ball was handed over to the feet of the young player Gnabry
, got the ball, Gnabry swept forward, ready to force Italy's fullback Chiellini
, Italian midfielder Desilio will not easily give Gnabry a one-on-one opportunity to single out with the fullback, stretching out his long legs to block in front of him
, the ball passed first, Due to Desilio's blocking, Gnabry failed to break through, the ball was intercepted by the Italian player
, Gnabry raised his hand to signal Desilio to block the foul, and referee Coshoi did not say anything.
"Coshoi may think it was a reasonable physical confrontation, but Desilio did prevent Gnabry from moving forward this time." Zhan Jun said.
"Kaushoui's penalty scale may be relatively loose
, Kong Erzi's 3-5-2 formation is extremely demanding on two wing-backs, attacking to be able to go up to help the strikers, guarding to be able to come back to protect the back line
, and the German team has also arranged two fast horses on the wing, and the focus of the two sides should be on the two wings." Zhang Lu said.
'Conte has stockpiled up in midfield and Loew has also fielded four midfield starters, and both sides should make a fuss in midfield.
While the two were talking, the situation on the field changed abruptly.
Italian midfielder Sturaro passed the ball horizontally to teammate Giaccherini, Mueller was next to him, accurate steal to break
the ball, after losing the ball, two Italian defenders immediately surrounded
Mueller, relying on tacit understanding, in the case of not seeing his teammates at all, Mueller picked up the ball, picked it over the head of the defender, and sent it forward
, Gnabry retreated and was about to meet Mueller, and when the ball was passed, he took two steps forward, Squeezed Desilio
behind, got the ball and took two steps forward to kill the center, Jiang Ge saw Gnabry with
the ball to the middle to kill, turned and ran to the right, more than ten meters forward, Gnabry kicked
to the right to divide the ball, because Jiang Ge ran farther forward, the ball was sent behind him
, Jiang Ge paused a step, gave the ball to the right hand, the ball rolled to his outside
, Bonucci has been following Jiang Ge, Firmly stuck on the inside
of the line, Jiang Ge swept out a kick in the direction of the bottom line, jerked up a few steps to throw away Bonucci, and was about to step on the bottom line before a
kick back into the big penalty area, the ball swept over the heads of Gnabry and others, fell to the left side of the back point
, the ball landed, Sane just arrived, shook the full-back Balzagli with a feint, and directly kicked
the far corner of the goal, Sane's corner kick seemed to pass like a shot, running towards the far corner of the goal
Goalkeeper Buffon had already moved to the left side of Sane's position, saw him get up and immediately pounced to the right
, Buffon jumped up, stretched out his arm towards the running line of the ball, saw the evil man appear in that evil position
, Jiang Ge came out from near the bottom line, and hit the ball into the goal with his chest with his hands behind his back.
The ball swirled in the goal, and Jiang Ge looked sideways at the linesman, who raised the offside banner high.
The referee blew the whistle, signaling that Jiang Ge was offside and the goal was invalid.
Jiang Ge argued that defender Bonucci was dragging behind him and that he could not be considered to receive the ball from an offside position, and Kaushoui shook his head, he certainly would not believe Jiang Ge's statement at this time.
In this era without VAR, the referee's decision will not change, and this goal of the German team is blown away.
Judging from the slow-motion replay of the scene, at the moment Sane played the ball, Jiang Ge and Bonucci were dragged behind, and it was impossible to judge with the naked eye who was closer to the bottom line.
