"The big hit must die" refers to the fact that in the competition, the favorites who are often favored first will eventually "die" miserably. This is not an accident, and it can even be regarded as a football truth, or an iron law.

World Cup, European Cup, Asian Cup, Copa America, Champions League...... All kinds of famous cup competitions, "the hot must die" is too common! Let's start with the 2002 World Cup, when the national football team entered the World Cup for the first time, led by Zidane, the defending champion France, who gathered the golden boots of three five major leagues, was naturally the biggest favorite to win the championship, but the result was the same as the national football team, and did not score a goal in the group stage. In the 2020 Euro Cup, Mbappe-led France, as the winner of the 2018 World Cup, was naturally the favorite to win the championship, and the result was out of the 1/8 finals.

In this year's Asian Cup, South Korea and Japan are the favorites to win the championship, but they both went out early, and the finals were Qatar and Jordan.

So, in the 2024 Euro Cup, which is in full swing, what are the "hot must-die"?

Germany, England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, there are nothing more than these six, Germany and Italy are almost strong, but Germany is the host and has an advantage that the away team does not have, Italy is the defending champion, and the name can bluff.

England narrowly defeated Serbia 1:0 in the first game, and was drawn 1:1 by Denmark in the second game.

Italy narrowly defeated Albania 2-1 in the first game and lost 0-1 to Spain in the second game. In fact, it is not surprising what they have achieved.

The real one who may die in the heat is France. Their star said in an interview before the start of this European Championship: The European Championship is more difficult than the World Cup.

In the first game of the group stage, Mbappe fought until his nose was broken, and the Gallic Rooster only won by one goal against Europe's second-rate Austria. In the second round, against the Netherlands, it was not a good battle for France.

Netherlands vs France

Nature of competition: Euro 2024 group stage Group D round 2

Time: 3:00 on June 22

Both the Netherlands and France are very interesting in terms of football, both of which were the first countries on the European continent to develop modern football, with mediocre early results and later glorious football.

The Netherlands are the ones who have developed the all-attacking and all-defensive style of play. In the 1970s, the Dutch national team, led by Ajax, who won the Champions League three times in a row, was once almost invincible, and reached the final of two consecutive World Cups in 1974 and 1978, but failed to win the championship. This is how the name "Uncrowned King" came about. In the 1988 European Cup, the Netherlands led by Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard won the championship and won the top three Ballon d'Or that year.

France is very active in football events and activities, FIFA and the World Cup were founded by the French, and the Golden Ball Award was also founded by France. But for a long time, all they did seemed to be making wedding dresses for others. It was not until the 1998 World Cup victory on home soil that this situation changed, and France was truly recognized as a strong team.

In the current comparison of strength, France is definitely stronger than the Netherlands. Judging from the recent head-to-head record, the Netherlands also have fewer wins and more losses against France. But in this game, France is difficult to be favored. Why?

First of all, the top scorer Mbappe's combat power has been greatly reduced, and his nose is broken, even if he wears protective gear, how much combat power does he have? In the last round against Austria, Mbappe also failed to score before the injury. Judging from the last game, as well as the Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund, if the opponent's style of play is tough enough, it will be difficult for Mbappe to make a difference. And the Netherlands today has no shortage of toughness.

Secondly, this France team seems to be strong, but in fact it has obvious shortcomings, the defense is not as solid as in the 2018 World Cup, the front line has Mbappe dependence, and the worst is the midfielder. You can't expect N'Golo Kante to sweep the midfield every game.
