PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Greece defeated the Czech Republic in the semi-finals and reached the European Cup final for the first time in history. This news broke countless experts' glasses. No one could have thought that Greece, which was considered to be just a formality in this European Cup, could, after unexpectedly obtain the qualification, continue to work hard in the knockout stage, and successfully get a ticket to Lisbon?

Therefore, when people saw that Greece actually stood out from a strong team and successfully met with Italy in the European Cup final, countless praises were spreading to Greece - of course, most of them were praising the Greek coach, Rehager, who once created the miracle of Kaiserslautern.

Most fans believe that Greece can achieve such a result in this European Cup, Otto can be said to have made great contributions. Without the old coach's strategy and iron-fisted management of the team, Greece will not only enter the European Cup final, but even whether it can enter the European Cup main match will be an unknown.

Although Greece's style of play is very dull and not good-looking, and there is a lack of big-name stars in the team with enough weight. These have made the star flavor of this European Cup final weaker and add a grassroots flavor. However, the fans still welcomed the upcoming European Cup final with great enthusiasm, and did not lose the passion they deserved for this decisive battle because the star flavor faded.

After all, people often look at them with a very tolerant attitude towards grassroots teams like Greece. Especially when they play far exceeding people's expectations, except for those fans who stubbornly insist that only "offensive football is real football", most fans acknowledge the strength of this Greek team, and many neutral fans have even become their supporters because of this.

The impact of Greece entering the European Cup final is far more than this. The most important point of their impact on European football is that since this European Cup, most head coaches have begun to change their inherent football philosophy and instead study overall football and related tactics!

If Ranieri's Chelsea won this season's Champions League championship without anyone's favorability, and made people realize the importance of overall football, then the series of achievements made by Greece led by Rehagel in this European Cup will undoubtedly deepen people's understanding and understanding of this concept again.

No matter how strong a player is, no matter how strong he is, when he faces a complete set of strict enough defensive systems, even if he is Ronaldo or Maradona, it is impossible for him to score easily. When a team can play high-quality team football in both offense and defense, even if the team lacks superstars with outstanding abilities, they can still achieve good results in the game. This is the change in football philosophy given to people by Greece and Chelsea.

As a result, as Greece goes further and further in the European Cup, team football and collective defense begin to thrive in European football. More and more teams begin to pay more attention to the role of the team in the game, rather than formulating tactics around a certain star and winning through the star's personal abilities.

However, in the eyes of fans, Italy, which has obvious advantages in personnel configuration and overall strength, is still the most promising team to win the championship trophy. Many people believe that Italy is very likely to break the curse of undefending the European Cup in this cup and become the first team to successfully defend the Delaunay Cup!

After all, Italy and Greece are really too similar in tactical styles. Both teams focus on defensive counterattack tactics, and both advocate relying on a strict defensive system and simple quick counterattack to win in the game, rather than expecting a superstar to have a flash of inspiration - perhaps Italy in the past relied on Vieri's personal ability in the offense, but since this European Cup, Italy has also begun to pay attention to team cooperation on the offensive end.

The reason why Milito was able to take the lead in this European Cup scorer list is mainly because his positioning is the end point in the team's offense, and he naturally got more shooting opportunities. It is not that Italy can only count on him to score goals in the game. In fact, if Milito was replaced with Vieri or Tony, the effect would not be much worse.

Although the outside world's public opinion almost one-sidedly supports Italy's championship, within the Blues, no one from head coach Trapatoni to the players under his command was affected by these voices, and they still have a high level of vigilance towards Greece.

Perhaps before the start of the European Cup, no head coach of any strong team regarded Greece as a qualified opponent, but at this stage, if Trapatoni would look at Italy's opponent in the final with such an idea, then the gold medal coach would definitely be kicked by the donkey.

A team that can defeat many strong teams such as Portugal, France and the Czech Republic, no matter how weak they are or even actively show weakness, will never be a weak team. Otherwise, wouldn’t it prove that France and Czech teams that lost to Greece are not as good as a weak team?

Trapatoni and Italian players will never make such mistakes, especially the Fiorentine players who have suffered a big loss at Chelsea, are even more careful. Pirlo and Nesta even organized a group of troops, squatting in the room every day after training and studying Greek game videos, which is enough to show their importance to this opponent.

Let’s look at Greece. After learning that the team reached the European Cup finals historic, a large number of Greek fans in Greece rushed to the streets to spontaneously celebrate this great moment!

As for the upcoming European Cup final, Greek fans said that they didn't care about the result of the game at all. Because for them, it is already a very worthy thing for them to celebrate. So, no matter what the final result is, they will welcome these heroes back to China with the warmest applause!

Although Greek fans are very open about this, the Greek Football Association is obviously unable to sit still at this time. After all, when the championship trophy, especially the European Cup champion is placed in front of them, and it is almost within reach, few people can withstand this huge temptation. What's more, once the Greek team successfully wins the cup in the European Cup, then for these Football Association officials, the road to promotion will undoubtedly be much smoother in the future.
