In the early morning of June 30, Beijing time, in the second game of the 2024 Euro Cup 1/8 finals, the host German team will play Denmark at the Westphalen Stadium in Dortmund. The German tank, which has not performed well in three consecutive tournaments, has made an impressive start to this European Championship. As the host, the German team slaughtered Scotland with a devastating crushing game in the opening game, which made people see the transformation of the aging German tank by Nagelsmann, a young man, and also made people instantly have new expectations for the German team that has not performed well in three consecutive major tournaments, and even after winning all two games, the German team's odds of winning the championship instantly "soared" from the fourth position to the leader! So much so that after the final draw in the group stage against Switzerland, almost everyone believed that it was just a "trick" by young coach Nagelsmann!
Compared to the talent of the host Germany, the Danish team is a little thin! The number one in the team is still the man who "left the world for five minutes" in the last European Championship - Eriksen. Now, the heart fighter has restarted his European Championship journey, and will surely strive to surpass the results of the last European Cup, which is not only to announce the return of the fighter, but also a kind of "self-redemption" for Eros himself. Our ancestors have written fairy tales in this arena, and Eriksson wants to write legends here! But it is clear that the reason why fairy tales are called fairy tales, and why legends can become legends, is because they cannot be copied! Facing a strong hosts with home advantage, the Danes' hopes of rewriting a fairy tale will be difficult......
With the whistle of English referee Oliver, the second knockout match of this European Championship officially began. Young coach Julian Nagelsmann unexpectedly made a "fine-tuning" to the starting lineup: Wirtz, who performed well in the group stage, was rested, and Bayern winger Sane made his first start in this European Cup. Just three minutes into the game, Germany won a corner kick in front, Kroos's corner kick was hoisted into the box, and Schlotterbeck jumped high to head home. Although the goal was eventually ruled out for offside, it was also a wake-up call for Schmeichel and his team-mates.
From the moment Oliver blew the whistle to start the game, the German team, who had the advantage of being at home, continued to launch fierce attacks into the heart of the Danish team's penalty area, and within 10 minutes, the German team had 5 shots on goal and 4 shots on target, not including Schlotterbeck's disallowed header! In the first 20 minutes, the German tank's tidal wave of offensive made people have to sound the inhumane 5-1 in the opening game, and they can't help but sweat for Schmeichel and "heart fighter" Eriksen......
After desperately withstanding the German team's indiscriminate bombardment in the opening stage, the Danish team's counterattack gradually improved. In the 20th minute of the game, the Danish team made a long pass from the backfield, and Eriksen unloaded the ball steadily and almost formed a single knife, and when he hit the goal, he was successfully blocked by the "desperate" Rudiger. It was also the first chance for Denmark to shoot on goal after more than 20 minutes of play. After this kick, Eriksen, who had been suppressed for a long time, waved his arms and roared, not only to encourage himself, but also to summon his teammates to resist together!
After the Danes finally had the strength to fight back, the Germans' indiscriminate bombardment gradually "relented" a little. In the 30th minute, Andrich brought down Mehle at the edge of the penalty area, and the Danes won a well-placed free-kick in front, and Eriksen's free-kick hit the wall and bounced.
The situation on the field fell into a stalemate, God came to join in the excitement again, the pouring rain and wind were mixed with lightning and thunder, so in this situation, for safety reasons, the referee Oliver had to temporarily stop the game.
The thunder stopped, the rain slowed down a bit, and the Germans continued to press forward and lay siege to Schmeichel's goal. I have to admire the tenacity and tenacity of the Danes, and even played a quick counterattack in the 45th minute of the game, but Højlund missed the goal with a big kick, and the best chance of the Danish team so far in this game was wasted. Of course, this must have scared Neuer and the entire German backline into a cold sweat...... At the end of the first half, the two sides drew 0-0.
In the first half, the advantage was unable to break the deadlock, but twice the opponent narrowly missed the "sneak attack" and lost the city, the young coach Nagelsmann must not complain that "God is not beautiful" interrupted the rhythm of the game, and in the midfield lounge, the young coach must have to think about it again. In the second half, the game was allowed to continue after the fourth official, the referee and the captains of both sides communicated with each other. Perhaps this game is destined to be full of drama! Sure enough, in the 47th minute of the game, the Danish team's attack in front of the German team caused chaos in front of the German team, and Anderson swept the goal in the chaos, and after VAR intervened, it was ruled offside and the goal was invalidated......
An even more dramatic scene is here! While the Danes were still frustrated by the goal being cancelled, something even more frustrating happened! Less than a minute after VAR ruled that Anderson's goal was disallowed, Germany went on the offensive and Raum's cross from the left hit the arm of the Danish defender and was awarded a penalty! It was Anderson, who had his goal disallowed a minute earlier, who made the big mistake!! Kai Havertz took the penalty and it was 1-0! The German team broke the deadlock in a thrilling way!
Within a minute, from hero to sinner, Anderson's inner collapse can be imagined. Similarly, the earth-shaking situation within this minute also made the Danish players break the defense, and Alexander and Mehle, who were emotionally affected for a while, both received yellow cards. After falling behind in the score, the Danes, who lost a single knife in a row, invalidated the goal and were awarded a penalty, finally stabilized their minds and began to launch a crazy counterattack against the hinterland of the German team's penalty area. Of course, the more ferocious the counter-attack, the greater the pressure and risk at the back. Kai Havertz's two close-range shots in quick succession went wide of the woodwork and told the Danes not to 'take their heads lightly'......
Sure enough, when the Danes pressed on the counterattack, the defensive holes were naturally exposed. In the 68th minute of the game, the German team launched an attack with a long pass in the backfield, Schlotterbeck made a long pass to the front, Musiala instantly formed a single knife after getting the ball, and faced Schmeichel Jr. who stepped forward to block, and scored the goal again with a diagonal shot! 2 to 0! The German team doubled the score! The scales of victory are unstoppably tilted in favor of the German team!
At the last moment, the Danish team, which has not taken care of a lot, is even more desperate to fight back, yes, lose one, lose two, lose ten and go home, why not play life counterattack? However, the hosts, who already have a two-goal lead, are not the ones you want to "pounce" and save! Regardless of having the world's No. 1 "goalkeeper" Neuer, and Rudiger's defense is insurmountable, and Phil Kruger, Musiala, and Sane counterattack is enough for the Danes to drink a pot!
As the clock ticked by, the 90 minutes of normal time came to an end and the Danes were left with only the last five minutes of stoppage time left to write their fairy tale! …… With five minutes of stoppage time running out and neither side making a difference, Germany won the dramatic game and qualified for the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Denmark thanks to Kai Havertz's penalty and Musiala's goal. And the Danes, who lost the ball, although they still failed to write a fairy tale in the end, they can still walk out of Westphalia with their heads held high......
