Volume 6 Chapter 38 Official Opening
Krakow is one of the metropolises in Poland and the capital of Krakow Province. It is located in the south of Poland and is a famous city with a long history. It was once the capital of Poland as early as the 13th century.
The famous Vistula River flows through almost the whole of Poland, and Krakow is located on both sides of its upstream, along the river, and it is more than 200 kilometers away from Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
As the most beautiful city in Poland, there are many castles here, with a long history, churches, monasteries, bell towers and square towers. In the old town, you can completely feel the taste of the European Middle Ages.
This is where England stayed during the European Cup.
Being able to rank among the third largest cities in Poland, Krakow is naturally not an ordinary small town in Europe. The population of the metropolitan area here is close to 2 million, and the urban population is also close to one million. It is considered very prosperous in Europe.
When England's white bus passed through the famous central square, it attracted the cheers of many fans and tourists who had gathered here in advance.
Krakow Central Square is known as the largest medieval square in Europe. Here you can feel the authentic Polish style, warm and full of vitality, exquisite and simple. You can also buy almost all Polish handicrafts in the surrounding shops. .
England set the training venue at the Hutnik Municipal Stadium in the nearby suburbs, but they were staying in the most luxurious hotel in the center of Krakow.
It seems that the FA always puts the main force of logistics on the rest environment. After all, compared with the training environment, top hotels are easier to find.
A large number of English media have long been stationed around the hotel where they stayed in England. As soon as they got out of the car, Mark Qin and the others were quickly surrounded by enthusiastic media and fans.
"Champions, England, champions...", the fans shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Friends in the audience, I am broadcasting live for you in the center of Krakow, Poland. The England team has just arrived..." The reporters nervously said to the cameras behind them.
After waving enthusiastically to the fans, the whole England team still did not stop, but quickly walked into the hotel through the police protection passage.
With less than four days to go before their first group game, time is tight and England have played three of their group games in Ukraine, yet they have chosen Poland as their home base.
This makes Ma Keqin a little puzzled, is it because it is beautiful here?
"Oh, let's take a look around the hotel, there are countless nightclubs and bars", the busy reporter is still busy reporting, and the camera sweeps the street scene around the hotel with the lens, "I don't understand why the FA chose Will the England players be able to resist the lure of the night out of this place?"
Especially people like Terry, Rooney, and Ferdinand are well-known in this regard. It was also the first time for Capello to come here. When he saw it, he immediately complained in his heart.
Fortunately, this time he did not prohibit the English wives from accompanying them. Today, it seems that it has become a wise move.
The busy cameras faithfully recorded everything about England's arrival here, every detail, even what to eat for each meal, how the training time was arranged, and followed up and reported the whole process.
"The Times": England has started training in Krakow, Poland a few days ago, and all members are in good physical condition. Although the training ground conditions are very average, Capello didn't care. The most important thing is our performance on the field. The ball needs excuses, he said.
"Daily Mirror": The core of this England team is still the old team from the World Cup two years ago, Joe Hart, Terry, Gerrard, Mark, Rooney, the performance of these people will determine how far we can go, But new stars Carroll, Chamberlain and Welbeck are still worth looking forward to.
"Independent": St. Mark said in an interview with our reporter at the Houtnik Municipal Stadium that the most important thing now is to regain the passion and state of South Africa. We are world champions, but that is in the past. Now we need to start over!
England spent two days in Krakow,
On June 8, they officially set off for the National Stadium in Warsaw to participate in the opening ceremony of this European Cup.
Euro 2012, tonight, will officially start!
...
"Friends from the audience, friends from the audience", Zhan Jun, Huang Jianxiang, Zhang Lu and several others sat together in the studio. The layout here is not like a commentary scene, but more like a gathering place.
The current time in China is already past 11 pm, and there is almost a 6-hour time difference with Poland. Zhan Jun looked at the beautiful opening ceremony screen and said loudly, "The European Championship in 2012, that is, the European Cup The opening ceremony has officially begun.”
The green shade of the entire stadium was covered by the base cloth into a complete sky blue, no, it was the blue color of the shoal seabed, dreamlike and rippling, and the dancers on it seemed to be wandering in the sea.
Dressed mainly in Polish red and Ukrainian yellow, the dancers shuttled around the venue non-stop, telling the unique culture of the two countries.
Although Ma Keqin in the stands couldn't understand it at all, but this did not prevent him from fully dedicating himself to it.
Here, just thinking about it, is exciting enough.
Zidane has reached the pinnacle of football along the road of World Cup champion and European Cup champion. His status in France even exceeds that of Platini.
As long as it is a European player, who doesn't yearn for this place?
"We saw that the National Stadium in Warsaw is very beautiful. It was specially rebuilt and renovated by Poland on the basis of the old stadium to host the European Championships. It can accommodate 50,000 people. It was put into use last year. It will also become the Polish team in the future. Home game," Huang Jianxiang introduced.
"It's really beautiful," Zhang Lu continued, "As you can see from the aerial photos just now, the entire stadium is a rare fully enclosed stadium with a roof. It looks like an oval dinner plate on a high-end dining table. full"
"We see that the famous dance troupes from Poland and Ukraine are performing on the field now, so wait a moment, the host Poland will play the first opening match of this European Championship with Greece here," Zhan Jun said.
"A lot of comments on the Internet are still concerned about Mr. Ma. The first game of the England team will have to wait until three days later, against the French team at the Bas Arena in Donetsk, Ukraine."
"France vs. England is also another strong dialogue in the first round besides Spain vs. Italy," Huang Jianxiang introduced, "It is also a focus match, and now the fans have very high expectations for England. After all, they are the World Cup winners. "champion status"
"Hey," Zhang Lu said with a smile, "England's performance in the European Championships has always been inferior to the World Cup. We will wait and see if we can make a breakthrough under the leadership of President Ma this time..."
At this moment, with the opening ceremony in progress, the 2012 Euro Championships has also completely kicked off.
The performance of the whole opening ceremony was very beautiful, but compared with football, it was a bit more ethnic and elegant, and it didn't match football. It is estimated that the two countries are trying their best to advertise their own countries.
"I hope the story of South Africa can be repeated here, and I hope that the beautiful Poland and Ukraine can leave us with unforgettable memories again. European Cup, here I come...", while waiting for the opening game to start, Mark Qin conveniently posted on Ins Published a dynamic, with a few photos of the scene.
"Impossible...", Alonso.
"This time we're going to have revenge..." said Dirk.
"Mark, see you in the group stage, I can't wait...", Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Almost instantly, countless people reposted his post, including many superstars in the football circle. It seems that everyone is bored at this time.
Rooney just had a boring phone call with his wife to find out about the itinerary. He put down the phone and looked at Mark Qin who had a strange smile on his face. He leaned over and glanced at the phone, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, those defeated players in the World Cup in South Africa are waiting to avenge us," he said with a smile.
"Come on, anyone who provokes us will die..." Rooney said funny.
To say that Rooney is really lucky. In the history of this European Cup, he was suspended for three games due to malicious revenge on Montenegro players in the qualifiers, and he perfectly missed all the group matches in the final stage.
But after England won the World Cup, everything changed. Naturally, this incident did not happen. Originally, I was a little depressed because I was overwhelmed by Manchester City at the club and lost the league championship again, but I miraculously recovered in the national team.
Because he knows that this may be another summer where England plays the leading role!
He is looking forward to it!
The current England national team has become a place where all players want to join, instead of as before, many British players are mainly clubs.
Why? Of course, because England is too popular now.
Since they won the World Cup, the value of English players has generally skyrocketed. Substitutes like Milner at that time have directly doubled, not to mention their salary.
To be honest, no one would struggle with such a huge benefit.
While they were chatting, the Polish and Greek players officially began to enter the field, and the opening game started on time. At this time, the red and white flags were flying and the shouts were loud.
After all, this is Poland, the host's home field!
The fierce battle of the top 16, the passion of this summer, the collision of this summer, sweat mixed with sighs or honor, for dignity, for glory, there is only fighting!
After the referee's whistle, it officially started...
The two most famous Polish stars are from Dortmund, of course Lewandowski and defender Piszczek. As for Greece, they are more famous because of the dark horse myth.
Rehhagel made them black and purple that year.
In the end, in this game, the two teams had a dramatic 10 vs 10, each was sent off one player in the second half, and finally shook hands 1:1.
[Hua Shao]: Greece played well. They still did not lose their dark horse qualities. The host did not seize the opportunity at home to win.
[Tan Yonglin]: Lewandowski is still as invincible as the club. It is a pity that the game in Poland is too early for the goalkeeper to be sent off.
[Mosquito net & Ant Li]: Haha, we are at the scene. I saw Mr. Ma’s Instagram feed and he is also at the scene, but I couldn’t find him (crying loudly)
As soon as the game was over, many domestic stars started to follow the popular Weibo one after another, chatting and chatting, of course it was the popularity of Mark Qin.
Of course, there are also many who are indeed real fans.
"Watching the European Cup with Mr. Ma" sounds familiar, yes, this is Penguin.com following the planning plan of the World Cup in South Africa and launching the European Cup again.
There are still subways, bus stations, office buildings, prime-time advertisements, all-round bombardment, and now the most popular football player in China, apart from Ma Keqin, is Zhang Linpeng, who is always called brother in the media.
He has been able to play occasionally at Liverpool!
In this expected fiery atmosphere, another summer about Ma Keqian began, oh, the above sentence is also the advertising slogan of Penguin.
As for advertisers like Adidas, let alone, as an aside, Adidas launched new boots for Mark Qin a month ago.
"King" series, special boots for the European Championship!
Everything, just like the summer two years ago, was full of joy!
...
"Poland played very well, but Greece showed their courage." Outside the stadium, British reporters finally caught Mark Qin and interviewed him.
"For me, the World Cup and the European Cup are two completely different feelings. The opponents here are quite familiar. Most of them are either opponents or teammates in the club. That is to say, here, there are no secrets on both sides. You must Make sure you do your best to get going..."
"No", he shook his head and said, "I don't care about England's previous record. I know that England's best player in the European Championship is Gascoigne. I don't know if he will come to watch the match."
"But for us, there is no need to prove anything. What we need to do is to be ourselves, don't be proud, arrogant, or impatient, and still put ourselves in a chasing position to strive for every victory A game of victory..."
What he said was powerful, and this was also the battle declaration he wanted to say to his teammates.
Even if they are World Cup champions, they are not qualified to underestimate any opponent.
This is still a cup game where you capsize a game and go home.
Best of England? No, it should be England who works the hardest!
The end of the opening match heralds the official start of this cup. 16 teams will fight back and forth between 8 stadiums, 4 groups, and compete for 8 qualifying places.
The game was basically scheduled at 6:00 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. at that time, and the corresponding time in China is 12:00 a.m. and 2:45 a.m. I believe that this summer, many fans will stay up all night, and countless university dormitories will stay up all night.
When England returns to the resident, the game will be held as scheduled at the rate of 2 games a day.
The first round of Group A: Poland 1:1 Greece, Russia 4:1 Czech Republic, once Liverpool's disastrous striker Baros came to the national team, it was basically a disaster, Petr Cech took 4 shots.
The first round of Group B: Netherlands 0:1 Denmark, Germany 1:0 Portugal, well, instead of France, the Netherlands, which was brilliant in the World Cup in South Africa, has internal strife, so far there are a few more sticklers; Germany wins Portugal as expected, Although there is Ronaldo who is in full swing, the German system is not something they can compete with, and it is not shameful to lose one.
The first round of Group C: Spain 1:1 Italy, Ireland 1:3 Croatia, encountered a handover from the old to the new but Pirlo is healthy Italy, although Bashen started to think about life mode, but Spain did not take advantage of it, the reason is still The front is weak.
Villa was not even selected for the Spanish national team due to his poor state. Bosque brought Torres and Negredo but did not use it. Instead, he followed in Guardiola's footsteps and let Xiaofa play center forward.
Xiaofa: Damn, I'm going crazy!
And the first match of the first round of Group D, France VS England, will start tomorrow night...
