Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The 2004 European Championship in Portugal was in full swing when Tencent was listed in Hong Kong.

Many Manchester City players also participated in this European Championship.

Evan Der Sar, Uifalusi, Stam, Makelele, Xabi Alonso, Ronaldo, Robben, and Cech who will join the team.

Moreover, after the European Championship, our Asian Cup will also begin, and Comrade Sun Jihai will also participate in the Asian Cup.

This also means that half of Manchester City's main lineup will not get an effective rest.

Fortunately, Ronaldinho, Kaka and Maicon did not participate in the America's Cup, otherwise Van Gaal would be crazy.

After Yang Luo finished his work in Hong Kong, he went to Portugal to watch the game.

He just happened to catch up with the group match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

This match can be described as a tit-for-tat match.

The Czech Republic is now a golden generation, with Cech, Ujfalusi, Nedved, Poborsky, Baros, Rosicky, Jankoller, all of whom are well-known figures.

And the Dutch side, not to mention, Van der Sar, Stam, Frank de Boer, Davis, Seedorf, Robben, Sneijder, Van Nistelrooy, Makaay, Kluivert, this is simply an all-star lineup.

This game also attracted a lot of attention.

And Yang Luo still dressed very low-key and sat in a position with a very good view.

This is a little advantage as the owner of Manchester City and a billionaire.

There are several Manchester City players in the starting lineup of this game, which makes him pay close attention to this game.

Especially the two starting goalkeepers of this game are all from Manchester City, which makes Yang Luo feel that the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh.

Just four minutes into the game, the Netherlands got a front-court set-piece.

Robben took the set-piece, and his precise pass found Stam who was lying in wait in the penalty area. Stam jumped high and headed the ball into the goal!

Cech made a desperate save, but failed to stop the ball from entering the net!

The Netherlands led by one to zero!

Yang Luo in the stands was somewhat amused. His own player assisted his own player to score, but the goal he broke through was guarded by another of his own players...

After scoring the goal, the Netherlands did not choose to retreat, but continued to press forward!

The Czech Republic was not to be outdone, and the entire lineup was set up to attack the Netherlands!

For a while, the scene was very hot, and exciting scenes emerged one after another.

Yang Luo couldn't help but sigh that football is still good now. The tactical discipline is not as strong as it was later, and there is still a wild and open beauty on the court.

And many stars can also release their talents on the court, which also makes the audience intoxicated.

In the 19th minute, Davis passed the ball to the left in the frontcourt, Robben understood and rushed into the penalty area, then made a direct cross pass, and Van Nistelrooy in the middle of the penalty area rushed over and scored!

2-0!

Robben quickly assisted and scored twice!

The Dutch fans in the stands were crazy. In their opinion, a victory had already beckoned to the Netherlands!

But Yang Luo remembered that the final result of this classic game was not like this.

Sure enough, five minutes after Van Nistelrooy scored, Baros intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, he broke into the Dutch penalty area alone, and then passed the ball to Jan Koller under the double team!

The 2.02-meter center forward pushed the door guarded by Van der Sar with a light push!

2-1, the Czech team scored a goal!

And this goal also sounded the horn of the Czech counterattack. Both sides played more unrestrainedly on the field, and the rhythm of offense and defense was directly full.

However, no one expected that the next time would become the performance time for the goalkeepers of both sides.

In the 33rd minute, Dutch defender Heitinga made a very high-quality long shot, but Cech flew over and saved it with his fingertips!

This was undoubtedly a world-class save!

Yang Luo in the stands couldn't help but applaud Cech's performance.

Cech was indeed terribly strong before he was injured!

And Van der Sar was not to be outdone. In the 37th minute, he made a series of saves, blocking the consecutive shots of Baros and Nedved.

Before the end of the first half, Robben swayed left and right on the left, and then made the ball in the middle. Davis followed up with a powerful shot. Although he bypassed Cech's defense, he hit the post heavily!

The Netherlands almost expanded its lead!

At the end of the first half, the score was 2-1, and the Netherlands was leading.

Throughout the first half, the Dutch team had a double advantage in the score and the scene, especially Robben, who was simply unstoppable on the left.

Block.

At the beginning of the second half, Robben made a cross from the left again, and Van Nistelrooy jumped high in the middle and headed the ball!

But Cech's performance was amazing, and he once again saved Van Nistelrooy's close shot!

The audience was terrified, but Yang Luo was relieved.

The performance of his two players was really outstanding!

However, in the 58th minute of the game, the Dutch coach Advocaat actually replaced Robben!

This made Yang Luo couldn't help but curse him as a big idiot.

Robben is the best player in the Dutch team. Wouldn't it be digging his own grave to replace him?

Sure enough, in the following time, the Czech Republic immediately took the advantage on the field.

In the 64th minute, Popovich passed back from the bottom, and Nedved completed a powerful shot in the penalty area!

But Van der Sar made an incredible save. He quickly went to the ground and blocked the ball with his fingertips!

Even Nedved couldn't believe how the ball was saved!

But five minutes later, the Czech team came back. Jankoler headed the ball back in the penalty area, and Baros's volley from the edge of the penalty area still knocked the Dutch team's goal!

Although Van der Sar touched the ball, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net!

2-2, the Czech team equalized the score!

After the score was equalized, the morale of the Czech team was boosted. They surrounded the Dutch team's goal and began to bombard.

And five minutes later, Heitinga was sent off, which made the balance of victory tilt rapidly towards the Czech Republic.

But Van der Sar's performance was heroic, and he kept making wonderful saves to keep the goal.

However, his strength was limited after all. In the 88th minute of the game, Heinz's long shot was barely saved by Van der Sar, and Popovsky rushed to pass the ball to the middle, and Smicer followed up and scored!

After losing the ball, Van der Sar lay on the ground helplessly. He had done well enough, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the goal.

And the Czech Republic also completed a 3-2 reversal!

The final score was fixed at 3-2, and the Czech team reversed and won.

Both sides fired 40 shots throughout the game, which was a real offensive battle!

The best offensive player in this game was undoubtedly Robben. He was very successful on the wing and created a lot of offensive opportunities for the Netherlands.

And it was his departure that became the turning point of this game.

In addition, the goalkeepers of both teams also performed very well. Without their outstanding performance, the goals in this game might have exceeded ten.

Coincidentally, these three players are all Manchester City players!
