The final round of Group D of the European Championship ended on June 26, Beijing time, with the Netherlands taking on Austria and France facing Poland. The two matches had their own merits, with Austria knocking out the Netherlands 3-2 to top the group; France, on the other hand, drew 1-1 with Poland to finish second in their group and face Portugal, Spain and Germany in the knockout rounds.
The match between the Netherlands and Austria showed a real confrontation that left the fans in sight. Austria showed great attacking power at the start of the game, with Sabitzer's cross causing the Netherlands to suffer a personal error that led to an own goal. It wasn't just an ordinary score, it set the tone for the whole game.
Led by Austria's high-pressure pressing and fluid attack, the Dutch team appeared to be in a hurry on the field and made frequent mistakes. The tension on the field also reached the fans' screens, with some netizens commenting: "The Netherlands now look completely unable to organize an effective attack, and Austria's defensive strategy is like opening the back door of the Dutch team." ”
However, the situation of the game changed in the second half. The Dutch team made changes to their line-up and began to break down the Austrian defence with simpler but more effective combinations. Gakpo equalised with a shot that sparked a lively discussion on social media. "The Netherlands' counter-attack showed their tenacity and quality, and it's not over yet!" Some netizens commented excitedly.
However, the Austrian team did not let this deter them. Smid's header gave them the lead again and the atmosphere on the pitch was even more tense. The game entered the final stage, and both sides were constantly making lineup adjustments, and the scene became more intense. The Dutch team's Depay equalized again with a volley, and the excitement on the field also caused fans to stir up heated discussions on social platforms. "Depay's goal is so crucial, the Netherlands still have a chance!" One fan commented excitedly.
However, the outcome of the game was beyond everyone's expectations. In the 80th minute, Sabitzer scored a smash from a tight angle to give Austria a valuable victory. "This game is so exciting! Sabitzer's strike gave Austria a narrow 3-2 win over the Netherlands and advanced to the knockout round! "Social media is full of excited voices and comments from fans.
As a representative midfielder of German football, Sabitzer has obvious characteristics and style, and is widely recognized and loved by fans. More than just a typical central midfielder, he can also provide a variety of technical support on the court, especially with a knack for dribbling and widening, a style that enriches Lewandowski's attacking style of play behind him.
On social media, there was an in-depth discussion among fans about Sabitzer's ability and style. 'Sabitzer is really the heart of the German team, his dribbling ability and tactical awareness are excellent. One fan commented. Sabitzer's flexibility and creativity on the pitch not only helped him score goals and assists, but also brought tactical versatility to the team as a whole.
Other fans are more focused on his association with Lewandowski. "The combination of Sabitzer and Lewandowski is a perfect combination, and the chemistry between them makes Poland's attack even more threatening." A football commentator mentioned it on the show. Sabitzer's ability to go it alone is not just a one-man game, he is able to work closely with his team-mates on the pitch and provide consistent support for the team's overall attack.
In addition to his technical advantages, Sabitzer's leadership during the match was also appreciated by the fans. 'He's always been able to lead the team on the pitch and Sabitzer has been able to play well both offensively and defensively. A fan said in a pitchside interview. Sabitzer's leadership is not only about the technical aspects, but also about his attitude and spirit on the pitch, which is deeply contagious to his teammates and fans.
France's match against Poland, although nominally the final game of the group stage, did not bring the audience to the climax they were looking forward to. At the start of the game, the two teams looked rather poor in the offensive end, with frequent mispasses that made it difficult to escalate the tempo of the game. This situation is also reflected in the discussion among the fans, "France and Poland are both looking a little restrained right now, and the attack lacks firepower. "Some fans commented on the game on social media.
France put pressure up front and tried to break the deadlock through the individual qualities of Mbappe and Dembele, but it didn't work out as well. Until the re-war of Yibian, France still maintained a strong suppressive ability. Dembele's mid-game breakthrough finally gave France a chance when he was fouled in the box by a Polish player before Mbappe calmly converted a penalty to give France a 1-0 lead. The goal sparked a cheer from the fans, "Mbappe is really the key figure in the tournament, France is now ahead!" A French fan excitedly posted such a comment online.
Despite the fact that Poland were already out of the tournament early, they did not choose to take this game lightly. The whole team gave it their all and tried to get a better result for their honor. In the final stages of the game, they finally had their chance, and Lewandowski scored a precise penalty to level the score at 1-1. This scene also comforted Polish fans, "Lewandowski's penalty is really timely, although we are out, but at least we did not lose to France!" A Polish fan commented.
In the end, France and Poland drew in a game that didn't mean much, and the two sides ended the game 1-1. The game may not have resulted in a stunning attack and a brilliant goal, but it did show the perseverance and hard work of the French and Polish teams in difficult situations. "This draw is also a reminder for France, and there can't be such a mistake in the knockout round!" Some fans believe that the French team needs to learn a lesson.
These two matches really showed the intensity and tension of the final group stage of the European Championship. These group stage performances have boosted the confidence of Austria and France, while also giving fans antiquity for what they will do in the knockout rounds. They will continue to work hard to achieve further results and bring more excitement and surprises to this European Cup.
