Chapter 1099 Chapter 1092: Continental Beacon!

Thanks to Chen Fan's performance, the Netherlands avoided being defeated by Denmark, which made the Dutch fans feel lucky, and also made the Dutch fans realize the importance of Chen Fan to the Dutch team.

The perspective of the media is obviously different from that of the fans. What they see is the overall downturn of the Dutch team. How far can such a Dutch team go?
In the death group, there are powerful Germany and Portugal in the same group. If the Dutch team is still so sluggish in the next game, will Germany and Portugal give the Netherlands a chance?

Shortly after the end of the game between the Netherlands and Denmark, the strong dialogue between Germany and Portugal started at the Lviv Stadium.

In the group of death, the result of the first game is likely to be directly related to the final fate of the team.

Both sides also knew the significance of the game. German coach Joachim Loew said cautiously: "Portugal is the best counterattack team in the world, and the German team cannot make any mistakes."

The players of the two teams are very familiar with each other. A total of 13 players participated in the Champions League semi-final between Bayern and Real Madrid in April.

Ronaldo, Pepe and Coentrao will compete with Ozil and Khedira, the two Real Madrid teammates.

德国和葡萄牙历史上曾经交手过17次, 德国队8胜5平3负占据上风。进入21世纪以来，德国和葡萄牙在世界大赛有过3次交手，2000年欧洲杯，葡萄牙3-0完胜德国。

The Germans beat Portugal twice in the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008.There is a Portuguese nemesis hidden in the German team. In the last two matches between Germany and Portugal, all 6 goals of Germany were related to Piggy. He scored 3 goals, 2 assists and made 1 own goal.

After the start of the game, both sides seemed very cautious. As the game progressed, both sides gradually increased their offensive efforts.

As the head star of Real Madrid, Chen Fan led the Netherlands to a comeback game when the team was [-]-[-], but Ronaldo failed to lead Portugal to a comeback.

The Guardian commented the next day: "Both were behind by one goal and the overall state of the team was poor, but Chen used two wonderful goals to help the Netherlands reverse and win, while Ronaldo failed to lead Portugal to a comeback.

This shows that Chen's value is higher than that of Ronaldo.

In this campaign, the Portuguese superstar had four shots, all of which were within the goal frame, but failed to bring a goal.On the other hand, Chen had a total of five shots in the whole game, but brought two goals.

Judgment between the two! "

The largest media in the Netherlands, Telegraph, expressed concern about the state of the Netherlands: "If the Dutch team is still in this state in the next round of life-and-death battle with Germany and pins all hopes on Chen, then the Dutch team will be in trouble!"

For Chen Fan's performance in the first game, many media praised him.

L'Equipe said: "Chen saved the Dutch team with two world-class goals. This also shows that the Danes are terrible. It shows that the Danes did not give Chen too much space and opportunities. However, Chen is Chen, and he is still the invincible Chen!"

The Daily Mail said: "Using a lore to win Denmark in a thrilling way fully shows that the group of death is worthy of the name! It also reflects Chen's value!"

The Munich Evening News said: "Germany won the Portuguese team led by Ronaldo without any risk, which is worth celebrating, but they will face the Netherlands in the second game.

What Loew has to do is to find a way to curb Chen's performance. As long as this is done, the German team will have no problem qualifying from the group early! "
