Chapter 442 Against Portugal

The German team's game will be held on June 6, and they have already arrived at their home base in Ukraine-the base camp of Gdansk.

Nestled among the mountains, it is very secretive.At first, Caesar thought that the entire German team had been kidnapped, so why did they come to such a place.But after the clouds and mists were cleared and the light came to the forest, Caesar realized the benefits of this place.

First of all, it is quiet, secret, and will not be easily disturbed.It is difficult to find even the locals here, and it is the most suitable place found by the German Football Association after investigation.

The second is the beautiful environment. Being in the deep mountains, Caesar felt that he was much purer.This is not just a metaphor. The air in the mountains is very fresh. After breathing hard, you can feel the stale air in your body being expelled.

According to Royce, apart from Merkel, no one else, including journalists, has been here.There are still security guards guarding the crossings on the road, so as not to give those "idlers and others" a chance.

"Occasionally there will be some locals, but they are very friendly, and there will be children asking us to sign autographs." Royce laughed.

The team's training ground is deep in the mountains, without the interference of reporters, everyone went on quite easily.Loew's preparation plan for the German team is very loose, in addition to training, it is play.

In this case, everyone was well rested and adjusted to their best condition.

And the European Cup started in this relaxed atmosphere.

In the opening game, the host Poland played against Greece, and the two teams drew 1:1.The strength of Poland is actually higher than that of Greece, but the fierce Greeks brought the game into their rhythm and used it to draw Poland.

The German team is in Group B, so their game will start soon.

In the first round of Group B, the Netherlands played against Denmark. The Netherlands is the runner-up in the world, and it shined in the European Cup in 08, sweeping France and Italy.No matter how you look at this game, the Netherlands has a winning rate of at least 9%.

However, this game once again confirmed the saying "football is round". The Netherlands lost 0:1 to Denmark, which was a big upset.

Not only that, Portugal scolded her mother.

It stands to reason that the Netherlands and Portugal should be the second contenders in the group. This time the Netherlands lost to Denmark, which gave the Danes the hope of qualifying. In the direct dialogue between the two teams, the Netherlands will definitely use 2000% of its energy to play.

This put a lot of pressure on Portugal, not to mention that they played against the German team in the first round, and they don't know if they can steal a point.

Apart from being surprised, the German team did not express anything else.After all, if you lose in the Netherlands, you lose. It's none of my business. I won't lose anyway.

In this way, amidst the scolding from Portugal and the indifferent attitude of the German team, the second match of the first round of Group B began.

Portugal has little chance in this game. Although Mueller will participate in the defense of Ronaldo, the team may not be able to attack from the right, but there is Caesar on the left. Who will defend him?
Besides, Ronaldo is the only strong point in Portugal. Even with Coentrao's support behind him, it is not so easy for him to deal with the German team.

Now Caesar knows why Boateng is the left back instead of Schmelzer. Although Schmelzer is a genuine left back, Ronaldo is the one he needs to defend.

Boateng is obviously more suitable for defending against Ronaldo alone. No matter in terms of speed or strength, Boateng is not inferior to Ronaldo.

Coupled with Muller's assistance, I am afraid that Portugal's No. 7 game will not be so easy.

Compared with Ronaldo, Caesar is much more relaxed.

The ones defending him are Pereira and Nani, not to mention Nani, but Pereia, with average speed and short stature, defending Caesar is simply a dream.

In this way, in the case of disparity in strength between the two sides, the game began.

德国队在此前的10次欧洲杯首战保持不败(5胜5平)，2010年世界杯半决赛0比1负西班牙后，德国队已经取得了正式比赛(两大杯及预选赛)11连胜。

But don't be happy yet, after the European Cup qualifiers, they only won 5 games in the 2 warm-up games, and they lost the games against France and Switzerland this year.Caesar did not participate in the two games, Loew mainly for the purpose of training newcomers.

Although Loew said before the game that Mertesacker and Klose would play, it was all smoke bombs.The team has been training for a long time with Gomez as the arrow, how could it be possible to make a substitution.

And although Klose has rich experience, in Lazio, he has not played for more than half a year due to injury.Even though his popularity is very high, and there are even rumors that Barcelona wants to buy him, Loew still gave Gomez a chance out of caution.

Although Podolski wore the No. 10 jersey, he still sat on the bench.In this regard, Prince Polti has no complaints.As long as you can win, it doesn't matter if you sit on the bench until you get sores.

而德国队的对手葡萄牙近6场仅1胜，其中3场打成0比0，今年热身赛2平1负仅入1球。

Portugal has participated in the European Cup 5 times before and has never been out of the group stage, which is good news for their fans.

After all, being divided into the death group, there is no psychological comfort, and I am really uncomfortable.

两队以往交锋17次，德国战绩为8胜5平3负，欧洲杯3次遭遇各胜1场。

最近两次在大赛中相遇，德国队在2008年欧洲杯1/4决赛中3比2晋级，2006年世界杯三四名决赛也曾经击败葡萄牙。

So in this game, Portugal must lower its profile to play against the German team.After all, the team is not as strong as others, so they can only keep a low profile.

The commentator for this game in Germany is still Kevin Janker, and the guest commentators invited today are the meritorious goalkeeper Kahn and Sauer.

"Today we have a very high probability of winning. As long as we are careful not to make mistakes, it is not difficult to beat Portugal." Kahn slowly became confident, and even Sauer nodded in agreement.

On the screen, the game has already started.

"Wearing a white jersey, black shorts, and attacking to the left of the camera is the German team! Portugal is wearing a traditional burgundy jersey. Their captain Ronaldo has a big back today, looking a bit old-fashioned."

Kahn complained: "Maybe he will change his hairstyle after the intermission to prove how useful the shampoo he endorses is."

This complaint also made the other two laugh. Watching the game in such a relaxed atmosphere seems to be easy.

Just 5 minutes into the game, the German team had an excellent opportunity.

"Khedira steals the ball! Moutinho's pass was intercepted by him! Khedira dribbled the ball in! A chance for the German team!"
