PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

In this way, when the referee Merck blew the whistle to the end of the game, Belgium, the host of this European Cup, defeated the Swedish team led by Larson and Lungberg at his own home court with a 2-1 score, winning the opening game of the European Cup!

After the opening game, Zhuang Mingge called Yongbery and expressed his condolences to the player - although this can be regarded as a way to enhance the players' sense of belonging to Fiorentina, Zhuang Mingge did this mainly because of the factors of chasing stars in his previous life.

Although Yongbery's fame is much worse than Vieri Redondo Ronaldo and others, and with Zhuang Mingge's current energy and identity, no matter what kind of star he is, these have not affected Zhuang Mingge's enthusiasm for chasing stars!

"Haha, boss, don't comfort me anymore." Loneberg said with a wry smile on the other side of the phone, "I know, after losing the opening match with Belgium, our Sweden qualifying situation is in danger. Who can let the Italian World Cup champion team in the same group?"

After hearing what Yongbery said, Zhuang Mingge was speechless. After all, because the Swedish team failed to get points against Belgium when they had the advantage in their strength, the Pirates had to strive for victory in the next two rounds of group matches. In addition to the host Belgium, there is also Turkey, a mysterious army across Europe and Asia, and Italy, the World Cup champion!

In this way, after losing to Belgium, the qualifying situation of Sweden has become quite serious. If he loses to Italy in the next game, the Pirates can bid farewell to the European Cup stage.

It is precisely because of this that Lyonberg is extremely worried about Sweden's fate in the European Cup - although Italy has always had a tradition of slow competitions, it is extremely difficult to defeat this World Cup champion, because the Italians are best at defensive counterattacks. If the offense is too sudden, the one who dies in the end is likely to be Sweden itself!

So, after comforting Yongbery with kind words, Zhuang Mingge hung up the phone and waited for the next day to come.

On the afternoon of the second day after the European Cup officially started, the Italian national team ushered in another group match in Group B at the Gerredom Stadium in Arnhem, Netherlands. Their opponent was the Turkish national team led by Hakan Suk!

Although Turkish football has never been ranked in European football, Old Maldini did not take this opponent lightly. You should know that many unpopular appearances are caused by players underestimating the opponent too much. This Old Maldini, who has rich coaching experience, certainly does not want the team to make this low-level mistake in Turkey.

What's more, although the Turkish national team is not well-known, its overall strength has been recognized by many people. You should know that in this season's UEFA Cup, Galatasaray passed the championship trophy and brought the championship trophy to Turkey, which shocked countless people's chins. This Turkish national team was built with Galatasare as the main body!

It is precisely for the above reasons that Maldini, the old man, has put a lot of effort into the selection of the starting lineup: goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi, left-back Pesotto, right-back Dilivio, the center-back position is paired by Maldini and Cannavaro, Albertini, Antonio Conte and Ambrocini form a double midfielder, Francesco Toti is in the center command, Vieri bursts in front on the front line, and Inzagi ambushed beside him and waits for an opportunity to attack.

The reason why Old Maldini put Nesta and Zambrota on the bench in this game was because the Italian coach considers the physical condition of these players, it is not suitable to be immediately invested in the fierce European Cup. Therefore, Old Maldini chose to hide these main players, so that they have more time to gradually adjust their state and contribute to the national team in subsequent games!

The opening match of this European Cup can well prove the view of Old Maldini. Larson, who has outstanding points-grabbing ability and Lyonberg, who is responsible for transporting shells, seem a little quiet under the defense of Belgian players and cannot help Sweden open the situation as soon as possible, resulting in the final defeat of this Nordic powerhouse. This is the best evidence!

After the game started, the performance of the Fiorentine players on the court was not beyond the expectations of Old Maldini. He fought hard on three fronts for a whole season, and Vieri and Dilivio, who only finished their last club match half a month ago, showed some unimpressiveness in the first game of the group stage. Only Inzagi, who played the substitute role in Fiorentine, was full of vitality. He almost succeeded in several anti-offside attempts and almost succeeded, and he disrupted Turkey's defense line.

Although Vieri and Dilivio were in modest form, at this time, other Italian internationals who had spent a lot of time to rest and recuperate at this time showed good competitive state. The dual-core linkage between Toti and Albertini allowed Italy to firmly control the midfield; Antonio Conte and Ambrocini's physical running and fierce fighting greatly enhanced the defensive hardness of the Italian midfield, allowing Toti and others to organize the offense more calmly; Cannavaro stared at Hakan Suk, who was much higher than him with accurate positioning and Superman's bounce, and reimbursed Turkey's most important firepower point; Maldini, who was responsible for filling up the position, also perfectly performed the tasks assigned to him, cleaning all the fish that escaped; Pesotto's straight up and down on the left made Italy's offensive more three-dimensional!

In contrast, Turkey, which reached the European Cup finals for the second time in history, obviously has not fully adapted to the atmosphere of the competition. Facing Italy, which did not choose to counterattack and instead took the initiative, the Turkish players who lacked the experience of the competition seemed somewhat restrained. They were caught off guard and easily took the initiative by their opponents and became the passive side to be beaten!

Even if the Turks, who were unwilling to admit defeat, planned to launch a counterattack and regain their disadvantages, in the face of Italy's signature reinforced concrete defense, most of their offensives were divided, which seemed a bit messy and unreasonable.
Chapter completed!
