Chapter 453 Preparing for the Battle of Greece
Caesar and Gomez both scored three goals after two rounds, ranking first in the scorer list.The European Cup is not a game that is easy to produce a large number of goals. After all, there are few participating teams and relatively close strengths. Most of the games are very anxious.

So there are very few games like Germany's 4:1 victory over the Netherlands. Most of the games are like today, and it is still 0:0 after halftime.

Both Germany and Denmark had a chance to score, but the goalkeepers of both teams played well to keep the goal clean.It's not that Denmark doesn't want to score goals, but the strength lies there. Facing the defense of the German team, it is not so easy to score.

Although the German team has a relaxed mentality, it does not mean that they have given up the game. They have no intention of helping Denmark enter the top 8.

"Obviously in the first half, the German team kept their kicks and did not show their true strength. Maybe it was because they basically secured the first place in the group, so Loew seemed quite relaxed." Sauer explained that Germany had several good opportunities today.

"Perhaps the German team will make some adjustments in the second half. People like Bender, Gotze, Reus and others can play a kick."

After the start of the second half, Podolski, who represented the team in [-] games, scored a goal.

"Herwedes throws the ball in! Müller's chest stop!"

Facing the Danish full-back who rushed up, Muller gave the ball to Gomez.

"Gomez's heel pass!"

After scoring three goals in two games, Gomez's mentality has also relaxed, and he is no longer so eager.Now you can play tricks in the penalty area, which makes the fans on the sidelines pleasing to the eye.

"The follow-up is Podolski! Polti hits the goal!"

Danish goalkeeper Anderson had already made the quickest reaction, but the ball was too close. Poerti scored his fourth European Cup goal in his career, second only to Klinsmann among all German players.

"Golden Bomber" is the player who scored the most goals in the European Cup among Germans, and he only scored 5 goals.From this point of view, Platini's record of 5 goals in 9 games in a single game is really terrifying.

After the goal was scored, Podolski was substituted.

Royce came off the bench, and as soon as he played, he brought a different experience to the Danish full-back.Compared with a cooperative player like Podolski, Royce, a guy with strong personal ability, made the Danish defender miserable.

But don't forget, Caesar hasn't played yet.

Kahn looked at Royce's turmoil on the left side, and said with some regret: "It would be great if Caesar and Royce were in different positions. The two are of the same age and have overlapping positions. It's a bit of a waste."

Sauer said: "The German team can also imitate Spain, play pass-and-control football, and put Kaiser on the front line."

As a result, Kahn immediately expressed his objection. He said: "The German team has always had a tradition of being a strong center. Although Kaiser is strong, his ability to respond and play behind the ball is much worse than that of Gomez and Klose. And pass control is not something everyone can learn. Instead of imitating others, the German team should stick to their own line."

Saul shrugged and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Denmark also scored.

Jacobsen took a corner kick from the right, and Bendtner in the middle nodded to the goal.

The top of the ball was a little crooked, and it didn't fly towards the goal. However, Colon Deli suddenly flashed out, appeared in front of the goal, and slid the header 5 meters away from the goal.

Neuer didn't expect that Colon Deli suddenly rushed out from behind Hewedes and froze there.

The goal was obviously a mistake in the coordination of the defenders, and the Danish team equalized the score.

"The defenders of the German team are distracted! Loew looks extremely dissatisfied!"

This goal also made the Danes see the hope of victory and began to strengthen their offense.

Loew also chose to attack. If he had to retreat against Denmark, I'm afraid Loew would be sprayed to death by the fans' saliva.

The two teams played offensive football, which also made the fans on the sidelines hooked.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Muller received a header from Royce's cross and headed into the net to expand the score.

This is also Muller's first goal in this competition, and he is very excited after finally breaking through.

Denmark did not give up, put on offensive players and continued to charge towards the German team's gate.

As a result, they were attacked by Royce in the 90th minute. The Rockets staged Caesar's best solo breakthrough, breaking into the penalty area from the midfield line, and finally scored with a shot.

This goal also made Loew very satisfied. Muller, who had been replaced, teased: "Luther, I think you are going to give up your main position."

Caesar curled his lips and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely score in the next game."

"How many?"

"Two starts."

"Bragging you." Mueller made a face.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 3:1. The German team won all three games and advanced, while Denmark was unfortunately eliminated.

Another game also came with the final result. Ronaldo went down to earth, eliminated the Dutch team with a perfect hat-trick, and joined hands with Germany to advance to the top 8.

Some people are happy and some are worried. When Caesar and Ronaldo celebrated their victory, Robben and Sneijder could only leave the field sadly.

The same situation also appeared in other groups. Lewandowski, Modric, and Ibrahimovic also regretted leaving.When the last round of Group D ended, all the teams in the top 8 were also produced.

Portugal will face the Czech Republic, Germany will face Greece, Spain will have a strong dialogue with France, and England will challenge Italy.

4 games, every game is exciting, this is the charm of the European Cup.

The fewer teams play, the more exciting the game will be.

The match between Germany and Greece was held in Gdanstein, and the German team was spared the hardships of traveling and traveling, and could calmly prepare for the match at the preparation base.

Greece is divided into Group A in this European Cup. They have one win, one draw and one loss. They beat Russia at the last moment to advance in a thrilling manner.

In the game against Russia, the Greek general Karagounis was shown a yellow card, but it was obviously the Russian player Ignashevich who fouled him at the time. Unfortunately, Eriksson didn't see clearly and sent a hasty penalty to Karagounis for diving. As a result, Karagounis was unable to play in the quarter-finals due to suspension.

This is extremely good news for the German team, but Muller's slight right thigh strain and Gomez's shoulder pain also made Loew a little worried.

However, Germany has sufficient talent reserves, and Loew can completely rotate the team.

On the day of the game, when the media got the starting list of the German team, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Klose replaced Gomez and Reus replaced Müller.
