"The first round of the group stage must be lost at the beginning", "The second round of the group stage continues to pull the hips", "The third round of the group stage is packed home"...... After the two World Cups were taught by two Asian teams, South Korea and Japan, it seems that the German tank has rusted and lost its gas, and has lost its former deterrence and style.
But in fact, it has only been 10 years since they last lifted the Hercules Cup.
Fortunately, Germany, which is participating in the European Championship as the host country this year, seems to have swept away the gloom of the past.
Judging from the current performance, Nagelsmann and his boys have done a good job, with a chopping performance in the opening game, smashing Scotland to the ground with a 5-1 thump, and a clean 2-0 win over Hungary in the second round, even if there is no shortage of undercover Sane and referee gods and other not very pleasant episodes, but the momentum is always good - after two games, the host Germany became the first team to qualify from the group of this European Championship.
It seems that the waves are not shocking, but in fact, the German team has quietly set a record: they have scored 7 goals in two games, setting a record for the highest goals in the group stage of the European Championship in the history of the team, and also becoming the second team in the history of the European Championship to be able to score 7 goals in the first two rounds. What makes German fans even more pleased is the emergence of supernovas such as Musiala and Wirtz, and veterans such as Kroos have shown the characteristics of getting older and more demonic - 34 years old played 90 minutes, a terrifying 99% pass success rate in the half, and 47 passes in a single game penetrated the opponent's defense, which is also a shocking existence in the shock world.
The most exciting thing in football is always those unimaginable accidents, and the German team in this European Championship has never had an accident in terms of creating accidents, in the past they were regarded as a slow team, but later the World Cup, the European Cup, slowly stepped on the train home. Now, they are back as hosts, and while Belgium and Italy are still worried about the upcoming fixtures, they can already lie down and prepare for the knockout rounds.
Fans with a little game experience know that these signs all point to three words - champions.
Young talents, meritorious veterans, promising young marshals, plus the home game at home, the German team can be said to have gathered the right time and place, which can not help but make the long-awaited German team fans burn a longing in their hearts: Could it be that after ten years, this time they are champions again?
Many excited German fans even simulated it in the game - taking advantage of the final battle on the top of the continent event launched on June 14 of "Pro Evolution Soccer Mobile Game", the four major teams of France, Italy, England and Germany have the opportunity to receive it for free, and many fans have already launched to fight side by side with the German tank and fight with the home team! Whether it's the supernova Musiala or the old and strong Kroos, they also have an intoxicating silky feel in the game, and for fans, the immersion of controlling the home team's stars to participate in the European Championship is not comparable to the distance in front of the TV.
What can directly fill the atmosphere of the competition is that if during this period of European Cup activities, everyone uses the agent who draws gold coins, and the national team he represents wins the championship, all the gold coins consumed by the agent will be returned! In this way, German fans should choose their home team, there is already a champion, and now there is a championship and a full refund activity, how can it not be rushed?
I have to say that the German fans of this European Cup are really full of envy, the European Cup + "Pro Evolution Football Mobile Game" is matched, if the happiness of winning the championship can be increased n times, the editor of the English fans are a little shaken, I hope the Three Lions can also stand up, and let me experience the happiness of winning the championship and returning the full amount!
