C Ronaldo draws lots.
Do you remember? When the lottery results of the 2 1 European Cup came out, fans all over the world were very excited, because people saw Portugal, France and Germany in the same group, which was a super dead group.
Yes, Germany/Kloc won the World Cup in 0/4, Portugal/Kloc won the European Cup in 0/6 and France/Kloc won the World Cup in 0/8. The recent three-time champions gathered together, which really hung the appetite of the audience. The death team is watching the larger foe. From the beginning of the game, we can see the giants fighting to the death for the right to qualify. The excitement is exciting.
As a result, none of France, Germany and Portugal died, and the top three of the group joined hands to qualify.
The death team is no longer dead.
There are many strong teams in Europe, and there are many fish bellies. All 54 member states of UEFA want to participate in the European Cup. What shall we do? Expand the army. At that time, the top of 16 was divided into four groups, and their day of coming up was over. Instead, 24 teams will be divided into 6 groups and strive for the qualifying quota of 16.
The top two teams in each group are bound to qualify, but the team is only 12, so the third team with the best performance has a chance to qualify.
This wonderful expansion not only makes it possible for small countries to participate in the European Cup, but also gives players time to brush the data. In this European Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 5 goals, all from the group stage.
Fan Luo: You Luo Hei! My five goals, 1, were scored against Germany and two were scored against France!
Yes, it was scored against a strong team. But the third place in the group can also qualify, giving these strong teams too many calculations and too many opportunities to play silent balls.
Portugal is very lucky in this competition. Although we won only one game in the group match and finished third in the group, we can still qualify. But they were unlucky, because their top 16 opponent was Belgium, and Portugal lost 0- 1 and went straight home.
In the last World Cup, Portugal was also the third in the group, and the group couldn't win a game, but they were really lucky, because the European Cup expanded at that time.
That's how luck comes. Portugal won the third place and avoided all the strong teams in Europe before the final. In the first game of the knockout, 120 minutes against Croatia and Portugal, quaresma headed the ball.
In the quarterfinals against Poland, Levan scored the first goal and Portugal Sanchez equalized the score. In the end, the Portuguese won the penalty shootout.
In the semi-final, Portugal faced Wales, and finally Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball, and Portugal had the last laugh.
In the final, the strong team finally came, but Cristiano Ronaldo was injured in 20 minutes, and his teammate 120 minutes cleared France and won the championship.
Two European Cups, two groups third, Portugal played 1 1 for 90 minutes and won only two games. In the face of the traditional strong team, C Ronaldo did not win a game.
16' s champion deserves it. But luck is too important for anyone to deny. And twice in the group stage, it was the third qualifying. Among the historical superstars, Ronaldo is unique.
