In the early morning of July 1, Beijing time, the 1/8 finals of the European Cup once again ignited the enthusiasm of fans, and both games staged a reversal plot, adding a lot of highlights to the entire event.
In a thrilling battle that lasted after 90 minutes of extra time, England's performance in the first half was truly sweaty. Slovakia relied on a beautiful goal from Strelec to take the lead, which made England fans a little anxious. Despite England's absolute dominance of possession, their shots were always a little bit off target, with all six of their shots off target in the first half.
Online, the game sparked a lot of discussion. Some netizens joked: "The England team is like practicing shooting, but it's a pity that it's on the field." "This looks comfortable in possession, but what about shooting?" "Watching them shoot miss, I sweat for them." There are also people who value the England team's ability to control the ball: "Although the shooting problem is big, it is really cool to watch them control the ball. There are also some optimists who said: "If you play like this in the first half, you will definitely fight back in the second half!" ”
The situation on the pitch also made the fans feel nervous. Every time a shot misses, the fans let out a sigh and worry about the direction of the game. One fan wrote on social media: "It's such a thrilling game, if only England could take their chances." Another commented: "Slovakia are really aggressive and England need to react. ”
On the pitch, the players also felt the pressure from the fans. Every time a good opportunity is missed, the players' expressions look a little frustrated. Kieran Trippier was praised for a clearance, but some fans raised some questions about his defence. In the second half of the game, the team needed more unity and composure.
Overall, the game was not just a contest on the pitch, but also a psychological challenge for the fans. England's bounce back showed their resilience and perseverance, and fans are looking forward to their performances as a result. The interaction between netizens and the comments on and off the pitch of this game all reflect the profound touch and impact of football on people's emotions.
In the second half, England's comeback came as promised. Bellingham levelled the scores in the final minute with a brilliant barbed shot to send the game into extra-time. With just one minute of extra time, Toney's header set up Kane to complete the comeback, and England eventually beat their opponents 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. This is also the fourth consecutive time that Southgate has led the team to the quarter-finals of a major tournament since taking over the England team, showing his consistent command ability at key moments.
Jude Bellingham is expected to be the next Patrick Vieira, with his quality, vision on the pitch and technique at his feet. Despite his young age, he has shown the potential to lead his teammates forward, especially in the one-on-one success rate, where he has been impressive. That's what I've seen from his game stats and I'm really impressed with him. Netizens may not have paid much attention to him, but in fact, his ability is beyond doubt.
One fan commented: "Bellingham's skill and insight were evident in the game. Not only is he able to control the tempo of the game, but he can also make accurate passes and attacks when it matters most. Seeing his progress is really exciting for his future. ”
Another netizen shared his opinion: "His age has given him endless possibilities. It was not easy to show such dominance at such a young age. Hopefully, he can continue to work hard and not be swayed by external pressure. ”
Another commenter noted: "Bellingham's progress has been astonishing. His technique and self-confidence are excellent on the pitch and that is a key factor in his ability to be a top player. ”
The opinions of these netizens reflect Bellingham's potential influence among fans and his actual performance on the pitch. His potential and self-drive will determine whether he can reach the top in the future, which is why fans are looking forward to seeing him continue to improve.
In the other match, Spain played Georgia in a brilliant comeback drama. Not long after the start of the game, the Spanish team fell behind because of Kakabazzze's own goal, which made fans a little surprised and worried. But soon, the Spanish team adjusted their form and began to launch a frantic counterattack.
Mamadashvili was outstanding in front of the Georgian goal, making several key saves in quick succession to prevent Spain from extending their lead further. These saves not only kept the Georgian defence somewhat stable, but also gave the fans a glimmer of hope.
On social media, the discussion about this match is also hot. Some fans commented: "Spain got off to a bad start and looks like it's going to be a tough game today. 'Kakabaze's own goal was a real surprise and hopefully they can adjust quickly.' Others expressed optimism: "Mamadashvili is too strong, keep the score, I believe we can bounce back!" Online, these remarks show the different views of fans on the direction of the game, and also reflect their support and expectations for their own team.
In the second half of the game, the Spanish team's attack was sharper. Yamal's cross set up Fabian to equalise the scores, giving the team more confidence. Then, Nico Williams fired a burst to make it 3-1 again, setting the stage for Spain to extend their advantage. Olmo, who came off the bench, also sealed the win with a brilliant late goal in the game.
Overall, the match not only showcased the Spanish team's ability to turn around, but also made the fans feel the drama and passion of the football game. The interactions and comments from netizens, whether it was praise for the players' performance or interpretation of the course of the game, formed a lively discussion on social media.
