Chapter 178 Czech Tower
In a fatal mistake by England, the Czech team immediately seized the opportunity to fight back. Most of the first half, they seemed to tighten the Eastern European iron riders in the hard shell and suddenly came out of their sharp swords.
After the ball was broken, the Belgian players were stunned and then quickly returned to defense, but it was obviously too late. The Czech team formed a situation of playing more and less in the front court.
Although Rossi can only do Bregas' auxiliary work in Arsenal, he is an absolute core player in the Czech national team. After holding the ball, he quickly went straight to the Belgian half.
Galasek and Plashil on the two sides also advanced to both sides of Belgium's penalty area. Coupled with the sudden Jankel and Baroche, Belgium's defense line is also struggling to cope.
Compani and Van Bitten, who dragged at the end, did not dare to defend, but kept retreating and blocking the penalty area line.
Gur, the captain and veteran of the Belgian team, also fought. His speed has never been as fast as it is now. Originally, there was a five-meter distance between him and Rosiki, but he actually caught up with him.
Paste it and hit it!
Gur wanted to use a foul to stop the Czech team's counterattack, but at the moment of being knocked down, Rosicki, the last genius of Czech football, accurately passed the ball to the feet of Galasek.
Then~~~~~~~~
"Look at Yankele!" Antienes on the sidelines roared.
Jankel, the last banner of the golden generation of Czech football, the first thing that comes to mind is his 202CM height. In the football field, I'm afraid that only a few goalkeepers can reach this height, but Kohler's position on the field is a striker, so "the world's first high school striker The nickname also went on.
Of course, Kohler is certainly not satisfied with the word "high" just in terms of height. In this World Cup, which is considered to be quite old, he just came out as a substitute in the first game against the host Switzerland team and scored his 35th goal in the national team with a header, surpassing the old shot 70 years ago. Poutz became the first striker in the history of the Czech national team, giving the word "high" another meaning.
In the Czech Republic, fans affectionately call him "Dinosaur", while Dortmund fans proudly name him the "Tower of the Frontline" of Paulusia.
With the natural height advantage, Yankele has a unique advantage in the restricted area and can always take advantage of a lot of it.
Since childhood, Kohler has been used to attracting attention because of "higher people". From 7 to 20 years old, he has been playing for his hometown of Lotas Metanova and was the team's main goalkeeper until the age of 18.
Later, at the suggestion of his father, who was the coach of the team, Kohler decided to change his job. In the year of changing his job, the team won the second division championship, and he won more than half of the goals.
After playing in Anderlecht, Jankole, who did not forget his old job, also fought against the Belgian goalkeeper De Wilde of the team and won.
About Jankoler's height, there is such a tidbit. When Lehmann was sent off from the 2002/2003 season between Dortmund and Bayern, Dortmund had used up three substitution places. Kohler did not hesitate to put on Leman's goalkeeper's suit and put on gloves to make a guest appearance as the goalkeeper. He not only kept the goal in the last 20 minutes of the game, but also ran around the Bayern penalty area at the end of the game, and then rushed back to the team's penalty area to magically save Barak's shot.
In fact, there is no shortage of high-time fronts who are good at headers in the Bundesliga. Kohler can stand out from it and quickly become popular. Because of his excellent footwork, people can often see him on the field with his exquisite dodge technique, and his right foot can also kick. A high-quality arc free kick.
A big man has great wisdom.
Jankole has not only had the experience of breaking goals with his heels in the Bundesliga, but also sometimes shows the scene of playing wonderfully for his teammates with his feet on the field, so he is regarded as an outstanding representative of the modern center.
Because he only played in the Belgian league before he came to Dortmund, many German media questioned him and even laughed at him at the beginning of joining. He thought Dortmund wanted to buy a striker, but he bought the wrong defender or even a goalkeeper. However, in Dortmund's first season, Kohler helped the team win the league championship with 11 goals and 7 assists.
Kohler has not only a height of 202CM, but also a weight of 103 kilograms and 50 yards of big feet, which makes the opposing defender have no choice but to take him in the penalty area.
However, the Giants also have old times. Everyone knows that this is Yankele's last European Cup. The Czech team has been full of tragic atmosphere since its departure.
Jankulovski and other players vowed before the game: "In this European Cup, what we need to do is not only for the country, but also for Yankele."
Jankel also said in an interview with the media that this will be his last competition, and he will withdraw from the national team after the end of the European Cup, regardless of the outcome or what the situation.
"Nothing can change my decision. This will be my last competition."
35-year-old Jankole currently has a one-year contract with Nuremberg in the Bundesliga. Although Nuremberg has been relegated this season, from the current situation, the Czech veteran chooses to play in the Bundesliga next season.
Although he has said that he will return to his home team Sparta Prague in due course, he has no specific plan yet.
As a place where he went to glory, Sparta Prague is far-reaching to Yankele, but when talking about this issue, he first expressed his loyalty to Nuremberg: "I haven't thought about this issue yet. Now that I still have a contract with Nuremberg, I will continue to stay there, even if I play Bundesliga The game."
Although he is getting older, the giant Kohler, who has excellent physical fitness and air superiority, is still the leading forward of the Czech national team. After Nedvid and other veterans withdrew, he also shouldered the important task of continuing to lead the team forward. In the several warm-up games before the European Cup, Jankoler was a team. The single arrow is at the front, and there is no need to say more about his important role in the team.
Although Yankele was the host of the first game and was a substitute, after his appearance, the old coach Bruckner's tactics began to revolve around Yankele. The four defenders rarely assisted, consolidated the defense, and the midfielder ran physically. Even in the front court, it was a move for the whole team to get the ball. , passed on to Yankele.
The same is true in this game. Players on both sides are very clear that the two teams have only one chance to beat their opponents.
Before the start of this game, Yankele said: "This game will definitely be difficult. We should keep calm and be aware that that game is not enough to determine the qualifying situation. What we need to do is to do our best to give full play to our strength."
In the previous game, the Belgian team took the initiative, and they had better technology and determination to win. The Czechs were completely suppressed. In the face of the Belgian team's stormy offensive, the Czechs looked so angry that they didn't even have a chance to struggle.
However, everyone underestimates the tenacity of the Czechs. Eastern European iron riders let people see their iron-blooded spirit and will never give up the struggle without she shed the last drop of blood.
Maybe God felt that the Czech Republic was too sad, so he gave them this opportunity.
Speaking of the sadness of Czech football, there may be some people who oppose it, such as Italy.
Italian tragedy? If you have to start talking about sadness from Baggio's shooting a penalty, it will be 89 years. After that, the feng shui immediately became better; is France sad? It doesn't have anything to do with it at all. Zidane's retirement is quite satisfactory, which is nothing more than the embarrassment of the red card caused by Degan's foul.
But who is more sad than the Czech Republic?
In the last European Cup, the Czech Republic revealed the king's style of reigning in the world. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in front of Greece, which was magical. In the World Cup two years ago, Nedvid's back announced the end of the golden generation. The Czech Republic was the first team killed by the "golden ball" and the first team to be killed by the "silver ball". This time In the European Cup, with the retirement of many veterans, the Czech Republic has been sentenced to death before setting foot on the European Cup.
However, the sad Czech Republic suddenly got an opportunity to change its life. The Belgians were probably too optimistic. The first 40 minutes of smooth sailing made them relax in their gradually growing pride, fighting and relaxing at the same time, blocking the Belgians' road to victory. A huge weir lake hung over their heads until England's fatal mistake was dug up the last soil before the dam collapsed. Now it's the turn of the Belgians to struggle to death. The Czech team's quick counterattack, like a death noose entangling them tightly.
After realizing the danger, Antienis first thought of was the Yankele at the front of the Czech team.
Is Kohler already in his old age?
He had a chance to make a single-knife ball before, but unfortunately, when he faced Bayley, his shot seemed slow and unchanged, and it was difficult to break through the opponent's defense by relying on his height advantage alone. No wonder Barrosh jumped in a hurry. If Barrosh had been a fast, physical and breakthrough figure, perhaps the Czech would have taken the lead long ago.
But when the opportunity appeared again, the Czechs first thought of Jankole. Just as Antienis realized the danger, the Czechs always believed that Jankole was the player who could decide the outcome of the game.
Galasek passed the ball, obliquely 45 degrees, and the football flew directly to the penalty area. Yankele looked a little clumsy, but Compani, who defended him, could not stop Jankel from leaving.
In front of Yankele, Compani doesn't seem to exist. All he has in his eyes is football, jumping and shaking his head. He has completed countless times in previous games. Even such an important game, Jankole is particularly easy to complete.
Although Bailey tried his best to save, it was difficult to stop the football from entering the net. Yankele's shooting position was closer than the penalty point, and the speed was fast.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
The Czech commentator, who had been depressed for 40 minutes, finally broke out. The moment the football crossed the goal line, he jumped up and roared loudly while waving his fist.
On the contrary, it is the Belgian commentator. Just now, everything is developing in a direction that is beneficial to Belgium. The commentator has even begun to analyze that Belgium will meet that team after the emergence of the group. After Degan's return, how far will he lead Belgium? How can it be in a blink of an eye? It was for the Czechs to get the first goal.
What's the situation?
After scoring the goal, Yankele looked very excited. His teammates wanted to catch him, but there was no way to stop the already crazy bull.
Jankel rushed all the way to the bottom of the South Stand, where Czech fans gathered, opening his arms and roaring loudly.
On the sidelines, the old handsome Broekner, who has always been steady, was also excited like a child, hugging everyone around him.
Just before the game, people also criticized his decision to give up the single striker tactics, re-use the double striker, and put Jankler in the main position. Now it seems that Bruckner's trust in Jankler's approach is completely correct.
In front of the excited Czechs, I'm afraid the most lost one is England, who made a big mistake. If it hadn't been for his overconfidence, the ball would not have been cut off, then Jankole's goal would naturally not exist.
Radga! Stand up!" Gul walked to Na England, who was lying on the ground. Although he was equally disappointed and complaining, at this time, as the captain, he considered the fate of the team.
Although this goal loss is the responsibility of England, he can't say anything at this time, let alone complain that before Antiennis replaces England, he must cheer up England and return to the battle.
Na England's eyes turned red when he thought that the team was likely to lose the opportunity to appear because of his fault.
"I'm sorry! Captain! It's all my fault!"
Gur really wants to say, "That's right! It's all your bastard's fault!"
But in this case, you can't say it.
"If you think this is your mistake, then go and atone for your sins. Otherwise, take the initiative to apply to leave the field. Of course, I don't want you to choose the second way. At least you are still useful to us on the court, so now put away your tears, Mr. England, the game is not over, and we are still I didn't admit defeat!"
