Chapter 353 At the critical moment, Fang showed his true qualities as a hero(1/2)
Although the stadium where they played was at the Lviv Arena in Ukraine, the venue almost became the home stadium of the German team!
The number of fans is actually directly related to the national strength of both parties.
The Lviv Arena, which can accommodate more than 35,000 people, attracted more than 17,000 German fans. On the contrary, Portugal seemed "stingy" with only more than 4,000 fans.
So when the German national anthem was played live, it was deafening.
However, no one is discussing the issue of whether players should sing the national anthem anymore - Loew said that the players just need to play well and singing the national anthem is the player's right and will not be forced.
German football emperor Franz Beckenbauer had previously stated that players needed to sing the national anthem, but some time ago some media interviewed Ye Chen and asked him what he thought about Ye Chen not singing the national anthem during the friendly match between Germany and China.
Beckenbauer's answer was simple: For a genius who scored 80 goals in a single season and broke various Bundesliga and even football records, don't be so harsh! I am now extremely looking forward to the start of the European Cup.81zw.

The reporter also asked Beckenbauer to make a prediction.
Beckenbauer said seriously, "In the world of football, everything is possible. If everything goes well, what I want to say is that the final will be Spain versus Germany."
Before the game started, the camera accurately found Beckenbauer in the stands!
"Beep!"
The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins.
"Good morning, viewers, this is Zhongyang TV Station!"
"Portugal took the lead in kicking off, and Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball to Moutinho, and he also rushed towards the German half!"
"Group B is recognized as the group of death. This is also the first time the European Cup has brought together four of the top ten teams in the world in the group stage!"
"Germany is temporarily ranked third, the Netherlands is fourth, Portugal is tenth, and Denmark is one place higher than Portugal, ninth!"
"And the first round of Group B has just come to an end. The Netherlands lost an upset to Denmark - this shows that no team in this team is a weak team!"
"We can also clearly hear the boos from the German fans. It can be seen that the German fans were a little excited at the beginning of the game, but it is obviously inappropriate to boo the Portuguese players like this."
1 minute and 11 seconds.
Germany launched an offensive. Thomas Muller, who was in the attacking midfield position, dribbled the ball past half-court. He glanced at Ye Chen in front of him, flicked his outside instep and passed the ball to Gotze who was on the right side.
Like Ye Chen, Gotze also played in the European Cup for the first time, so he played particularly actively.
After taking the ball, Gotze directly faced Real Madrid player Coentrao.
But at this moment, Boateng advanced at high speed, and Gotze sent the ball forward without any hesitation.
Boateng didn't stop the ball and made a pass!
The football made a wonderful arc and landed two meters in front of the small penalty area.
In the middle of the penalty area, Ye Chen and Pepe moved at the same time, grabbing the same spot.
Ye Chen made a diagonal sprint before taking off, so coupled with the inertia of his body, he appeared first at the landing point of the football and shook his head to attack the goal!
"Ye Chen headers the goal!"
"Patricio in front of the goal firmly hugged the football!"
"We can clearly see Ye Chen's progress during this period. Even Pepe can steal the football!"
"It's a pity that I didn't push out the angle and strength this time!"
"This is Germany's first shot!"
The game only lasted 3 minutes.
Portugal gets a corner kick.
But just when Nani and Veloso were discussing who should serve, a "rain of paper balls" appeared behind them!
Fans are using this method to influence the opponent's mentality.
However, the organizer responded quickly and warned through the on-site microphone: "If fans continue to throw paper balls and other debris into the stadium, seriously disrupting the normal order of the game, then the game will be canceled!"
"
At this time, the German fans stopped.
Of course, both sides played very conservatively.
Precisely because both sides knew that this game was particularly important, they adopted a defensive formation.
Germany did not play Kroos, but Khedira.
Portugal also asked Meireles to keep an eye on Ye Chen.
Meireles missed Chelsea's Champions League final due to suspension, but he didn't expect to meet him here!
To a certain extent, Ye Chen was considered his enemy, so Meirelas' actions were very cruel.
5 minutes and 12 seconds.
Ye Chen retreated to the midfield to take over, and Thomas Muller moved to the front.
But as soon as Ye Chen got the ball, Meireles stepped forward to steal it.
The ball missed and Ye Chen's foot was hit twice. He didn't stop until the referee blew his whistle.
Ye Chen didn't get angry or anything, he kicked the ball directly to Xiaozhu, and moved laterally to get rid of Meireles!
The moment Xiaozhu got the ball, he pushed with the instep of his inside foot and kicked it directly.
The football landed on Ye Chen's running route.
Pepe rushed forward immediately, while Alves guarded Thomas Muller behind him.
But Ye Chen has already started to shoot!
"Bang!"
Like thunder from the ground!
Ye Chen kicked the ball hard at the bottom. Although Pepe stepped forward to block it immediately, he did not touch the ball.
The football went directly to the goal's blind spot!
Patricio in front of the goal reacted quickly. After all, Ye Chen is now famous for his long-range shots!
Football is extremely fast and the lines are a bit erratic.
Patricio didn't dare to neglect and made a quick save.
"Crack!"
The moment the football was about to fly into the goal, it was lifted out of the bottom line.
Germany gets the first corner kick of the game!
"Ye Chen's long shot!"
"Wonderful!"
"Patricio in front of the goal was very focused and saved the ball from the bottom line!"
"No wonder many Portuguese fans call Patricio Padpa!"
Just like Manchester United's De Gea, many Manchester United fans respectfully call him "Duck Dad"!
But to be honest, the previous game was a bit boring.
Loew also returned to his position on the sidelines.
But at this moment, the on-site camera was focused on him. While looking at the court attentively, Loew dug his nostrils with his fingers.
Just when many fans frowned, Loew actually stuffed boogers into his mouth!
This scene really shocked many fans.
From then on, Loew got a nickname: Mr. Booger!
Of course, the fans were so bored that they started to curse!
For 25 minutes, except for Ye Chen's long shot, Germany had no decent attack.
And this is also related to Germany's tactics today - they actually played long passes.
Originally, Ye Chen was quite confident, after all, his strength reached 86 points.
But today Pepe is too hard!
And the Portuguese players are also very active and keep intercepting!
This can't help but make Ye Chen a little speechless. Why do you want to play a long pass and hit me as a lone forward?
It's better to let me start with Gomez.
He can feint in front and pick up what he missed.
Like now, the football is played high and high - the chances of truly threatening the goal are very few!
Loew on the sidelines was already cursing, "What are you playing? Make the tempo faster!"
27 minutes and 12 seconds.
