Their competitive strength and team spirit were impressive, and they managed to attract global attention along the way. Will Turkey be able to continue to surprise in the upcoming matches?
Turkey's performance at this European Championship
The European Championship is the most intense competition in football, and in this competition, the Turkish team performed well in this competition, reaching the last eight, which is also the best record in 16 years.
The Turkish team's performance in this European Championship showed potential and strength, which also brought surprises to the majority of Turkish fans, showing their competitive strength and team spirit.
As a country full of passion and fighting spirit, Turkish football players have demonstrated their determination with practical actions, fought hard with the expectations of their country and people, and won the respect of the world with sweat and hard work.
In this European Championship, the performance of the Turkish team can be described as full of surprises, they defeated the last European champion Italy in the group stage, and finally qualified for the knockout stage with 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses.
In the knockout stage, although the Turkish team lost to the strong rival France team in the first round, they still defeated the Croatian team on penalties in the 1/8 finals and successfully advanced to the top 8.
Such a performance also amazed countless people, and no one could have imagined that the Turkish team could reach the quarter-finals of the European Championship, which is their best record in 16 years.
Sixteen years ago, Turkey had pulled off a miracle in the 2002 World Cup, finishing third, and that was the pinnacle of Turkish football.
Since then, especially in recent years, FIFA's planning and adaptation of various competitions has made it difficult for a small football country like Turkey to stand out from its strong rivals.
But this year's Turkish football team proved itself with its own strength, and made a thrilling ride all the way in the knockout round, finally reaching the quarterfinals.
The Turkish people are also proud of their football team's performance, and the head coach who has led the Turkish team to such a good result in the European Championship is impressive.
According to Turkish media reports, Mr. Sneidlin, the Italian head coach who is currently coaching the Turkish team, has carried out all-round transformation and adjustment of the Turkish team after taking over the Turkish team.
By adjusting the tactical system and tactical play, and rebuilding the confidence of the whole team, Turkish football has been restored to its glory.
However, it is worth mentioning that after the match against Italy, Mr. Sneidlin once made a bold statement and said that he would lead Turkey to the championship.
However, the next matches against France and Croatia did not come out as perfectly as expected, and Turkey also relied on a penalty shoot-out to advance to the quarter-finals.
Perhaps it was this rhetoric that led to suspicion among Turkish fans about Mr. Sneidlin, who was rumored to have been sacked after the defeat to the Netherlands.
Although these were all rumours and were not confirmed, Mr. Sneidlin reminded himself that more questions would be asked about the future fate of himself and the Turkish football team.
These questions will be answered later in the game against Wales.
As one of the most eye-catching dark horses in the European Championship, can Turkey surprise us in the next match against Wales?
The Dutch team managed to come back from behind
When it comes to one of the most eye-catching dark horses in the European Championship, the Dutch team is also indispensable, and in the absence of an absolute superstar in the frontcourt, the Dutch team has achieved excellent results in this European Championship with unity and hard work.
And in the quarter-finals against a strong opponent Turkey, he successfully reversed the situation of falling behind by one goal, and scored two goals in a row, and was scored another goal in stoppage time before the end of the game, and finally won 21 to advance to the semi-finals.
Although the Dutch national team has many talented players, and they have also shown excellent strength and technical level in previous games, the Netherlands are also stretched thin and almost eliminated when playing against Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia.
Therefore, the Dutch national team is not expected to reach the semi-finals, and can only be regarded as a small dark horse in this European Cup, not as in the limelight as before.
But even so, the Netherlands did not give up the struggle, and successfully reversed Turkey in the quarter-finals, scoring a goal in stoppage time to complete the reversal of the score ahead of the opponent.
Such a spectacular match is also a testament to the strength and unity of the Dutch national team, where everyone is a key player in a team that has no stars but is supported by dreams and fighting spirit.
The success of two consecutive knockout penalty shootouts to advance to the semi-finals also proves the willpower and pressure resistance of the Dutch national team, which stepped up and fought bravely at critical moments.
In addition, the Netherlands reached the semi-finals of the European Championship for the first time in 20 years after beating Turkey, and they will also hope to take the opportunity to prove themselves and refresh their best record in the European Championship.
And now after reaching the semi-finals after 20 years, what kind of wonderful performance will the Dutch national team have?
Cruel and beautiful
When it comes to the two teams in the knockout stage of the European Championship, I believe everyone will think of the knockout stage, and can't help but imagine the tense and brutal struggle between the two teams in all aspects of the knockout stage.
Although we will think that the knockout stage will be very exciting when we see the Netherlands successfully advance to the semi-finals through a comeback, but what is really happening behind the scenes, do we know what is really going on?
How many behind-the-scenes stories of athletes' faces are contained in this, and will we really know it?
As one of the sports full of passion and fighting spirit, football is undoubtedly cruel and beautiful, ruthlessly fighting many athletes, fighting for their beliefs and countries, not afraid of sacrifice, just to strive for more honor belonging to themselves or the country and the nation.
