At the 2000 European Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium, Zidane led France to defeat Italy with a golden goal in the final and win the Delaunay Cup for the third time.

Today's French team is quite balanced. There are outstanding players in every position. Lori is the goalkeeper, Evra, Varane, Mangala and Koscielny are on the back line, and Bo is in the midfield.

Gerba, Schneiderlin and Cabaye, with Griezmann, Giroud and Payet as forwards. Even if Benzema misses the European Cup, this lineup is enough to compete with any strong team in the world. Many stars in the team have already

After receiving the baptism of last year's World Cup in Brazil, he is not lacking in both strength and competition experience.

What's more, in the recent warm-up matches, the French team also defeated the Portuguese team and the German team.

However, despite Spain's poor performance in last year's World Cup in Brazil, no one will underestimate the defending champion.

The Matador Legion has created their own dynasty, winning the 2008 European Cup, the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Cup, and won the final championship in three consecutive competitions.

During the European preliminaries, Spain suffered a slight setback at the beginning, losing 1-2 to Slovakia in an away game. However, it then won eight consecutive games and secured the right to qualify one round in advance. Whether it is strength or experience, this Spain does not lack, only lacks

What matters is morale. How to get out of the shadow of the World Cup defeat depends on the adjustments made by coach Vicente del Bosque.

If there are no accidents, Casillas will still be the goalkeeper. The central defender position is a shortcoming. Who will Pique partner with is a mystery. As for the midfielder, Busquets, Cesc Fabregas, Koke,

David Silva, Iniesta and Isco can all be trusted. Like the central defender, the striker is also one of the shortcomings. Costa and Morata have not been able to prove themselves so far.

The center back and forward will be Spain's hidden dangers. In the history of the European Cup, the only country that can compare with Germany is Spain. The Matador Legion has also won the Delaunay Cup three times so far. This summer, they definitely don't want to return disappointed!

As for Italy, there was once a saying that the biggest scam in European football is that Italy is weak and England is strong.

Portugal's generation of stars, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, is also eyeing the European Cup.

As for Belgium, Xiao Wen doesn't take it seriously at all. It's not that they are not strong, it's just that internal strife has wiped out 80% of their strength. Such a team has no chance no matter how strong it is.

The first game was against Russia. The two teams have only met twice in the European Cup. In the 2008 European Cup qualifiers, the two teams were in a group. England won 3-0 at home and lost 1-2 away.

With Xiao asking, it seems that Russia is just a small problem. The problem is that England has a curse... In the first game of the European Cup finals, England has never won. If it is against France and Portugal, it is normal.

, but could not win against teams such as Switzerland and Ireland, which shows that England may have a slow start problem. Many "neutral" fans feel that they may not get a good start in this game.

On June 11, the first battle came belatedly.

After the last training session in Chantilly, England will face Russia in its first group match in Marseille, a port city in southern France.

At the press conference, a reporter provocatively asked, is this youth team a bit inexperienced?

Xiao Wen replied domineeringly: "Records are meant to be broken, and data can only represent the past. We have world-class players in every position, and everyone is actively preparing for the game. As I said, youth is ours.

Advantages rather than disadvantages.

champion?

Yes, we are here just for the championship."

Instant hot search arrangement.

In the end, Hodgson and Xiao Wen decided to use it.

Hart; Carey Walker, Smalling, Cahill, Luke Shaw; Lallana, Alli, Henderson; Shaw, Kane, Rashford

Russia's starting lineup used a formation.

Goalkeeper Akinfeev.

The four defenders are Shchnikov, Berezutsky, Ignashevich, and Smolnikov;

The five midfielders are Neustadt, Golovin, Smolov, Shatov and Kokorin.

The lone forward is big center Djuba.

Xiao Wen, who was standing in the players' tunnel and preparing to lead these young people to the stadium, felt emotional.

When he was in Brazil, he was still a very doubtful little guy even though he won the European Champions Cup with Dortmund!

Now

No one dares to despise him anymore, right?

Just like what Simeone said on the phone last night: "Please Xiao, score five goals in this game. Let's reduce the heat of the Champions League final first."

Thinking of Simone's tone, Xiao Wen suddenly smiled
