At 0:00 a.m. on July 2, the 1/8 finals of the European Cup ushered in the focus battle, and Belgium recruited the French team. Both teams did not perform well in the group stage, finishing second in the group, scoring two goals and conceding one goal in their three games. Mbappe and others need to play more convincingly, and Belgium are equally good; Lukaku and others are expected to improve their finishing ability on the offensive end.
In this campaign, the French team has been unable to score for a long time! It wasn't until the 85th minute that the deadlock was broken and the final kill was completed! Muani comes off the bench to threaten, Kante plugs the ball through, Muani hits the goal! Over there, Vertonghen was in a hurry, and the score came to 1-0, and the French team finally advanced to the top 8!
Deschamps on the sidelines was so excited that he jumped up to celebrate! In his post-match interview, Deschamps was elated and admitted that it was a good game and that it was a tense process. We had more possession and created more chances. We had a lot of opportunities but didn't take them. The moment of winning, we have to enjoy it, we can't take it for granted.
After the game, De Bruyne, Lukaku and Carrasco, full of regrets, stood on the field, a little helpless. As a former World Cup runner-up, this tournament has never been able to play at its true level. Not only Lukaku, but the rest of the others have also wasted a lot of opportunities. On the whole, the Belgian golden generation is not very well coordinated with each other, which is also the real reason why it cannot play a real role.
was originally looking forward to a strong matchup, but in the end it was only 1-0. Romelu Lukaku had 20 touches of the ball, 12 of which he lost possession and five unsuccessful dribbles. The Golden Generation has never made it to the finals of a major tournament. So far, 5 places have been decided in the round of 8, and France is waiting for the winner between Portugal vs Slovenia. The remaining 2 groups of quarter-finals are Switzerland against England and Germany against Spain.
