Europe predicts that there is Paul the Octopus, and we have General Fan!
Before the start of the quarterfinals, Fan Zhiyi, a famous national football player, participated in a variety show "Indiscriminate Watching Guide" to predict the trend of this European Cup, he analyzed the ownership of the top 8, explained the reason why he chose the top 8 seats, and finally hit all of them! This sentence made Fan Zhiyi popular on the Internet overnight!
In the subsequent program, Fan Zhiyi predicted that the top 4 of this European Cup will be Germany, France, Switzerland, and Turkey.
He made the following analysis in the program: The duel between Germany and Spain is the final staged in advance, both teams are currently undefeated and in excellent condition, Germany has a good attack, Spain has a good defense, and I am more optimistic that Germany will have the last laugh in this group of matchups.
France played 90 minutes to end the battle easily, Portugal until the penalty shootout to advance thrillingly, the advantage of fitness is crucial in the knockout round, this group matchup I am more optimistic about the young and energetic France to advance.
The Netherlands beat Romania in the last round and was in good shape, Turkey defeated Austria to show its dark horse nature, it is worth noting that Austria has beaten the Netherlands in the group stage, and Turkey is optimistic about advancing to the next round, and there will always be an extraordinary dark horse in every European Cup! This is Turkey!
England's performance in this tournament has been stumbling and very sluggish, on the other hand, Switzerland eliminated defending champion Italy in the last round and are in hot form, and I believe that Switzerland, who have performed more consistently, will continue to surprise everyone.
With the early morning of July 7, Beijing time, the 1/4 finals in the second half of the European Cup ended. The favourites England and the Netherlands eliminated two dark horses, Switzerland and Turkey, respectively, to advance to the semi-finals. Since then, the top 4 of this European Championship have all been released, namely Spain, France, England and the Netherlands.
Compared with Fan Zhiyi's prediction, he only guessed correctly in France, with a shooting rate of only 25%, which is very different from his 100% shooting rate in the first round of the knockout round! But football is unpredictable, so there's no need to over-hype when you guess right. And that's just the pre-race talk!
But when it comes to the professional issues of football, Fan Zhiyi has seen through two key things in this European Cup, supporting England and Southgate! How to defend against Mbappe!
When England did not perform well in the group stage, Fan Zhiyi supported Southgate. Looking back now, no matter how ugly England is, it has also reached the last four, and the process of competitive sports is important, but it is always the result that is remembered!
Can you say Southgate can't? Gareth Southgate is unbeaten in 12 regular-time games at the European Championships, the most unbeaten coaches in the history of the European Championships!
Fan Zhiyi said: The question of whether Coach Southgate should be removed after this tournament has indeed sparked a wide range of discussions. First of all, let's be clear that football is the result of 11 players working together on the field, and the role of the coach, while important, does not completely determine the outcome of the game. The coach is more like the commander and organizer of the team, responsible for tactical arrangements and team coordination.
Looking back at Southgate's coaching journey, he has led LinkedIn Gran to some impressive results, including World Cup runners-up and European Championship runners-up. These achievements not only reflect the coach's tactical wisdom and team management ability, but also reflect the improvement of the overall strength of the team. However, as the game progresses and expectations increase, so does the pressure on the team.
At the moment, the England team seems to be going through a difficult period, but it is not entirely the coach or the individual players. Many times, this dilemma is caused by the psychological stress accumulated in a series of matches. Under high pressure, players may not be at their best on the pitch.
Therefore, I think we need to be objective and rational when assessing the question of whether Coach Southgate should be sacked. The coach's ability to coach is important, but we should also be aware of the external pressures and internal challenges that the team is facing. If the team can overcome the current difficulties and regain confidence, then Gareth Southgate's continued management will undoubtedly be beneficial. Conversely, if the team continues to underperform, then coaching adjustments may also be necessary.
The match against Switzerland was manager Gareth Southgate and assistant coach Steve Holland's 100th game in charge of the Three Lions. Under their leadership, England have reached the quarter-finals of two World Cups and two European Championships. Over 60% win rate
As for how to prevent Mbappe, the star of the French team, as the former Asian footballer, Fan Zhiyi has more to say, and he also gave his opinion, he believes that the most important thing is not to let Mbappe take the ball head-on.
Fan Zhiyi said that now if there is Mr. Mu's age, there is no problem with Mr. Mu. 'Going into the 30-yard area up front, to put it bluntly he wants to go out and get the ball, he wants the ball behind him or something, I have to get close as soon as possible, there's no doubt about it, you let the guy who is fast turn his back to you as much as possible, don't let him come at his own goal.
By the way, Fan Zhiyi predicts that France will win the championship in the end, so let's wait patiently and wait and see!
