Football King Bale

The Welsh team, which advanced to the European Cup finals for the first time, defeated Portugal 2:1 with Bell's one shot and one pass, and took the lead in advancing to the semi-finals. Wales captain Bale also won the best of the game again.

After the game, Bell said: "Our goal is to enter the final. Although many people think that Wales is weak, I don't think so. My teammates are great. We all work together and are a strong team. Now we have a 50 per cent chance of reaching the final. It was a very good game, Portugal were strong, we were at a disadvantage most of the time, but then we controlled the game."

"It was a great win. We had a great group, that's why we got there, I want to congratulate the whole team. Now our dream is going on, the hopes are huge, we'll have to think about the final, But keep your feet on the ground.”

However, for Bell's performance, Wales coach Chris Coleman still consciously played down. He said: "The victory is not only due to Bell, I will not discuss personal performance. I am not worried about Bell, I am not worried about Ram." Cy, I'm very happy with my 23 players. We showed the response we needed, the players played well whether they started or came off the bench. As I have explained many times, everyone has their own on the field Bell is operating according to our tactical system, he has the ability to move in the penalty area, and he can also retreat to deeper areas."

………………

After shouting the slogan of going to the final after the game, Bell did not accept any more interviews with reporters.

It's already the semi-finals, and Bell feels that there is no need to keep a low profile. Who would say that he doesn't want to enter the finals at this time?

After a night's rest in Warsaw, the Welsh squad flew back to their base in Wroclaw to prepare for the semi-final in six days' time.

This evening, the Welsh team watched the game between Germany and Greece in the hotel where they stayed.

Although the German team and Wales are not in the same half, but since Wales wants to enter the final, their opponent at that time is likely to be the German chariot.

Of course, the winner of another game is also possible, but compared to the powerful German team, whether it is Italy or England, the possibility of defeating the German team to advance is much smaller.

This is the judgment of the Welsh coaching staff headed by Coleman.

However, Bell knows that even if Wales beat another team in the Iberian Peninsula, their opponent in the final will not be the German team, but Italy, which is underestimated.

only,

Such speculation, Bell will not tell the coaching staff, because Wales still has a semi-final to play. When the semi-finals are over, if they are lucky enough to advance, the opponents in the finals will naturally be clear.

In the midst of all the attention, the German team defeated Greece 4:2 unsurprisingly and advanced to the semi-finals following Wales.

………………

After watching the German team's game, I suddenly let go of the sadness left by aging.

In 2012, in the bleak and cold rain of the veteran's lonely curtain call, there was finally someone who counterattacked and shouted: I don't accept the old! This person is Miroslav Klose.

Klose's great achievements needless to say, even if he retires immediately, he is enough to go down in the history of football in Germany and even the world.

He is the first World Cup Golden Boot winner after the reunification of Germany, and he is also the player with the most appearances, the most goals and the most assists among active German players. With 14 goals in the World Cup, he stood at the pinnacle of history. It is no exaggeration to describe Klose as a "German legend".

This stern-faced, heroic German, inherited the toughness of his predecessors, drove a German chariot from one peak to another, and is still working tirelessly to this day.

Klose is still a person unwilling to be lonely. He should have retired bravely in front of the honors, but he still wants to continue to be the leader in the talented German team, which makes the younger brother Gomez, who is in good form, full of complaints.

Fortunately, in Germany, which is highly disciplined and group-oriented, everyone has a heart of tolerance, so that they will not be independent like Dutch and French players, resulting in constant internal strife and chaos.

However, the team members have emotions, and it is inevitable that there will be grievances among them. The clever Loew resorted to a trick - to win Gomez. Since Klose refuses to accept his old age, why not use his tricks and entrust him with a heavy responsibility in the knockout round. Let's see the follow-up: OK Just continue to use it, if it doesn't work, he will naturally shut up.

To be on the safe side, the young Schurrle and Royce were arranged by Loew to escort Klose around to ensure nothing goes wrong.

The sophisticated Klose knows the secret, and understands that this appearance can only succeed, not fail. From the first minute of playing, he worked extremely hard.

God rewards hard work, and the two young people around him are poor boys who sleep on the cold kang with strong firepower. They just shoot randomly, but there is no point in their feet. In the first half of the game, the two brothers had one left foot and one right foot, one deep foot and one shallow foot. They only stepped on the front of the Greek goal into a vegetable field, but they didn't even score a goal.

Klose couldn't hold back, thinking that the striker scored, it seems that my brother has the final say!

In the 68th minute Klose finally found a good opportunity. Goldfish Eye's free kick roared into the penalty area and went straight to the heads of Klose and Papadopoulos.

In terms of height, the two are similar, and in terms of age, Klose is 14 years older. I saw Klose jumping up quickly, unexpectedly taller than half of the head of the young Greek next to him. With a powerful header, God K headed the ball into the goal, demonstrating the true meaning of a veteran playing one against two.

As soon as the goal was scored, Loew also gave Klose a thumbs up, thinking that with the fierce competition momentum of the front line, why not worry about the great success? Internal strife? To hell!

After this campaign, as the only "post-70s" in the German chariot, Klose became the oldest goal scorer of the German national team in the history of the European Cup, which can be described as old and strong. The number of appearances in 120 games and 64 goals are ranked second in the history of the German team. With this momentum, the veteran's counterattack will continue.

………………

In the match between the German team and the Greek team, a figure unexpectedly appeared in the stands: German Chancellor Merkel in an elegant water-green suit!

It is said that in order to ensure that they can catch up with the German game, Merkel even called Italian Prime Minister Monti in advance, requesting that the meeting of leaders of the four European countries (Italy, France, Spain, Germany) held in Rome that afternoon be held two hours earlier. , so she could fly to Poland in time to cheer on her home country's team.

After attending the meeting of the leaders of the four countries, Merkel rushed directly to Poland to watch the quarter-finals between Germany and Greece. This strong woman on the political stage quickly regained the demeanor of a fan in the stands, sometimes raising her arms and shouting, sometimes smiling and applauding.

Merkel has long been familiar with watching football on official business. At the last European Championships, she had to miss a game because she was in Brussels for a week-long EU summit. At that time, she ordered her assistants to keep her updated on the progress of the game by text message.

During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the G20 Summit was held in Toronto, Canada. In the German team's victory over England, she was unable to make it to the scene and watched it on TV with the British Prime Minister. After the German team scored, Merkel ignored the British Prime Minister's feelings and stood up and cheered loudly. It was not until the end of the game that she politely apologized to Cameron.

When a woman becomes a football fan, she almost always attracts suspicion. Are you watching football or watching people?

Faced with this question, Merkel said generously: "I never pretend to be a football expert. I don't know football that deeply. But on the other hand, I am by no means a rookie. I have passed many tests. I keep an eye on the World Cup, the European Championship and the Bundesliga. I am very familiar with traditional German TV football programs, and I can explain what offside is, and this question has failed many male national leaders..."

The fact is that after Merkel easily answered all kinds of football professional questions raised by the reporters, she actually added a sentence: "Such questions are too naive."

In fact, Merkel loves football for a long time. In the 1974 World Cup in the Federal Republic of Germany, Merkel, who was only 20 years old and was studying physics at the university, felt the charm of football for the first time. After entering the political arena, she still maintains this hobby: "For me, football is another game besides politics..."

However, everyone has never seen Merkel's husband Saul appearing with her on the court. When the media asked her this question, Merkel always smiled and said: "My football addiction is greater than that of my husband. As early as the 2002 World Cup, I watched the football game with a group of friends, and my husband Left alone in a holiday cottage in the country."

………………

In Europe, where the football atmosphere is strong, it is not uncommon for national leaders to go to the scene to support the national team. In almost every European Cup or World Cup, some people will make such a move, and Merkel is just one of them. Just one of them.

Bell was thinking that if the Eastern national team could enter the World Cup finals, the head of the rumored die-hard fan would definitely go to support it.

Compared with the support of the German Iron Maiden for the German team, the actual supreme leader of Wales, Welsh First Minister Cain Howell Jones is much worse, and did not take the time to come to Poland to watch the European Cup between Wales and Portugal. One of the finals.

However, it is reported that Minister Jones will fly to Ukraine to watch the semi-final six days later. Because it will be the most meaningful battle in Welsh history. Once they defeat their opponents, they will advance to the final round.

However, this is not what Bell cares about. What he cares about now is how to help the team win the semi-finals.
