Start from 1999

Chapter 92 Winning
Turkey almost pressed across the board, and the teenager Emre appeared in the position of the left winger, and started a one-on-one contest with Hamann.

Emre's work is very neat and fast, but Haman's experience is very experienced and his judgment is very accurate. Emre tried many times to surpass others, but Haman resolved them one by one.

The center position lacks Hakan Suk, and the Turkish team's high ball is basically not threatening. In the first 20 minutes of the second half, the two sides are basically in a boring stage. Turkey seems to be playing against the German team, but the German team is more relaxed.

Time was running out, and the Turkish players gradually lost their composure. Denizli replaced Dawara again, replacing Hassanzas.

But after Davala came up, the ball was suddenly intercepted by Link in the middle and fell to the ground. Link took the ball and got up without hesitation. Nick started it immediately and shouted: "Pass the ball to me!"

Link had already observed the positions of Nick and Ballack, and immediately kicked through. Nick led the ball in the direction of the ball and rushed towards the Turkish half.

"Good goal! Nick rushed through the midfield with the ball. Alpayi was the only one left in Turkey's backcourt, and Ulf also went forward. The German team won a 2-on-1 situation. They were passive for a long time. This ball should be the key to turning the situation around. Let's see how Nick handles it!" Riddle was depressed for a long time, and finally found a chance to vent his dissatisfaction.

After Nick rushed through the midfield, Alpay obviously lost sight of one another. Kirsten obviously didn’t dare to let it go, but Nick’s rushing speed was scary. At this moment, Turkey’s fastest return to defense turned out to be teenager Emre, but he was also nearly 10 meters away from Nick.

Kirsten slyly pulled the side, as long as Alpay followed him, then Nick would be in the middle of nowhere.Alpay decided to take a gamble and say that he could not let Nick pass, so Kirsten appeared in the big space on the right.

Naturally, Nick would not fight alone. Nick knew well about Kirsten's shooting skills. The pass was a one-handed one. Nick immediately froze and pushed with his right foot, and the ball was passed to Kirsten.

Kirsten rested in the frontcourt for a long time. His physical strength is very good now. He kept getting the ball and went directly.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal went in! Ulf received a through kick from Nick and rewritten the score to 2:1. This is really a kick. We have reason to believe that the German team won this ball!" Riddle was a little ecstatic at the moment. The starting point of this goal.

Kirsten's excitement can be imagined. He roared wildly and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with the German fans who were also roaring wildly in the stands. Behind them were crazy teammates.

Nick waited for everyone to finish celebrating before rushing up and kicking Kirsten's ass.

"Hey, Ulf, if you don't score this goal, I'm going to blow your ass off!"

"Haha, you brat, I don't like this tune, you should give it to Michael!" Kirsten said with a smug smile.

"Tch, I think the Turkish goalkeeper is more suitable for this role, Nick, next you should add fuel to the fire and make the opponent's goalkeeper completely collapse." Ballack also laughed.

The German players were extremely happy. This golden generation of Turkey almost pushed the German team to a dead end, but now it is the Turks who are in a hurry. There are only ten minutes left in the game. If the Turkish team can't equalize the score as soon as possible, the direct qualifying place in the third group will be the German team.

The two incomplete teams fought for more than 70 minutes. Now the German team has taken the lead. Turkish coach Deniz used up the last substitution.

However, among the Turkish players on the field, except for Alpay who is a defensive player, the other players are all offensive players.There is no doubt that Denizli has put all his eggs in one basket. Even if he loses and draws, he can only be the second child, so it is better to fight.

The game restarted, and the Turkish players rushed to the German team’s half. Although the Turkish players’ offense was still orderly, and Emre, Basturk, and Izet frequently crossed positions, the German team organized the defense line very calmly. Nick and Ballack took turns as firefighters, covering the left and right sides. The Turkish team’s high ball was basically eliminated by Link and Novotniva. The German team is now an iron barrel formation. This is the deadly poison for the Turks.

The game quickly ran out of 90 minutes, and the fourth official raised the sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time, which was also the last 4 minutes left for the Turks.

Even Alpay rushed into the German team's penalty area to act as a high point, and Turkey's style of play began to become simpler, that is, directly kicking the ball into the penalty area.

But in the 92nd minute, Nowotny's header fell right at Nick's feet, and Nick drove the ball towards the Turkish team's half without raising his head.

"Oh oh oh oh, Ulf turned around and started sprinting. He grabbed the ball before the Turkish goalkeeper. He passed the opponent's goalkeeper, and it was an empty goal! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal went in, it went in! 3:1, the German team finally sealed the victory and put an end to this difficult game!" Riedel roared with saliva, and the German fans at the scene finally burst into laughter, and the game was definitely won!

The Turkish players also gave up their spirits, the second child is sure, come on, let's go to the play-offs with peace of mind.

The rules of this European Cup are that the No.9 of the 1 groups will qualify directly, and the No.2 with the best score will also qualify directly. The other eight second-ranked teams will draw lots to determine 4 qualifying places. Together with the hosts, the Netherlands and Belgium, they will form the top 16.

And Turkey is obviously unable to become the No.2 with the best results now, so they can only participate in the play-offs.

Nick is well aware of the situation in the 2000 European Cup. This Turkish team still won the play-off victory, and their performance in the 2000 European Cup was even better than the German national team in history. They reached the quarter-finals, while the German team did not qualify.

After the score expanded, the Turkish players didn’t want to fight anymore. The two sides took turns and the game ended quickly. The German team defeated the Turkish team 3:1 at home and won the third group of the 7 European Cup qualifiers with 1 wins, 21 loss and 2000 points.

After the game, Lauren, a reporter from the German "Kicker" magazine, interviewed Nick for the first time.

"Hi Nick, you can lead the team to victory in such a crucial game, what do you want to say to the German fans?"

"Oh, it was a crazy game, the Turks gave us a lot of trouble, but in the end we persevered and the score said it all."

"But there was a massive brawl in the game, what punishment do you think UEFA will take?"

"Haha, this is indeed an incredible game. The Turks obviously can't afford to lose. The game video will explain everything. The Turks made the first move, but my teammates are all good. They fought unrelentingly in order to defend the dignity of the German nation."

"Oh, my God, Nick, your words are too good. Finally, please look forward to the prospects of the German team in the European Cup next year."

"Champions! We have only one goal. There is no doubt that this German team is on the right path. The team is a combination of old, middle and young generations, and it is very dominant on the court."

"Okay, thank you Nick!"

"You're welcome!"

And other German teammates also accepted the interviews of the reporters. Everyone felt that it didn't matter about the fight. If Turkey was allowed to bully, it would definitely not work.

So this crazy game is destined to become a classic. Fights, red and yellow cards, and goals have all become the focus of media coverage after the game.

However, three days later, UEFA President Johansson held a press conference in Nyon, Switzerland, announcing the penalties for the two teams.
