In the subsequent second half of the showdown, a shocking upset broke out.

The Netherlands team, which performed in the group stage at all, lost to Croatia under the optimism of everyone, and missed the semi-finals, which shocked the entire world football world.

Obviously, most people could not accept this incredible result for a while.

However, the fans who really watched this game probably had another idea, because the Netherlands played badly and did not perform like a super strong team.

The whole game made continuous mistakes and the organization was disordered and disorderly, and Dutch players seemed to lose all their form overnight.

In contrast, Croatia's performance was much more pragmatic and steady, and it actually eliminated the Dutch team and advanced to the semi-finals.

After the game, countless people couldn't help but observe silence for the tulips, blooming brightly, but there was no eternity.

The uncrowned king, this time, not only was it uncrowned, but even the word "King" was removed.

Usually, those who perform well in the qualifiers and in the group stages are all the Bullfighters Legion, but this time, the Netherlands also fell into this routine.

On the contrary, the performance of the Bullfighters Legion was truly eye-catching. In the peak duel with Italy, the Bullfighters Legion controlled the rhythm of the game. Although they did not score, they did not give Italy any chance.

In the final penalty shootout, Saint Cassi defeated the god Buffon and saved the penalty kicks of De Rossi and Dinatale, eliminating the Blues' Army to advance to the semi-finals.

At this point, all the Champions League semi-finals were born.

England and Portugal are in a passionate match in the first half, Spain faces Croatia in the second half, and the winner of the two games will enter the final.

The European Cup has entered this stage and the most passionate and fierce battle has really begun. The focus of billions of fans has made the European Cup hottest peak.

England has already transferred to Basel, Switzerland. Of course, for the two small countries Austria and Switzerland, such a transition is actually not a big deal, because the total distance is not very far.

Heinx can be said to attach great importance to the semi-finals between Portugal. At this level, there is no weak hand at all, not to mention that Portugal eliminated the powerful Germany and stood in front of England.

The Portugal's lineup configuration is definitely not bad. Even if it is not as star-studded as England, it is still better than most teams.

Goalkeeper Ricardo, a stable goalkeeper of the golden generation, is not as famous as Saint Cassi and God Buffon, but his strength is not bad.

The combination of central defenders Carvalho and Pepe is definitely the top central defender combination in world football. Even England must admit that it is actually not easy to break their combination.

Both full-backs Bosingwa and Ferreira play for giant teams, and their strength is unquestionable.

Although the two midfielders Petit and Moutinho are not the top midfielders, their winning situation has always been stable and are the most important barrier in the midfield.

As for the frontcourt, Deco is responsible for the tandem, Ronaldo and captain Simon are in charge of the left and right sides of the frontcourt. Even Nani, who has joined Manchester United, usually can only sit on the bench.

Portugal's only shortcoming seems to be in the center position. Neither Nunogomez nor Postigga have stable scoring ability, nor can they form an effective fulcrum. This is also the most troublesome thing about Scolari.

This is a bit like the later German team. Midfielders emerge one after another, but they just don't show a forward, which is simply suffocating.

Of course, Portugal cannot be underestimated because Ronaldo's goal-scoring ability has surpassed most super scorers. His 32 goals in the Premier League this season is enough to say everything.

England is training in a low-key manner to deal with Portugal's tactics, and Portugal is the same, and the outside world's hype about this game has swept the whole world.

The two teams met at the World Cup two years ago, when Vardy was injured and England lost to their opponents.

And this game will undoubtedly be a battle of revenge for England. Judging from the performance of the two teams, England has a great chance of winning.

This game is also the reunion battle of Manchester United's Trident. Although it is an opponent, since Vardy transferred to Inter Milan last season, Trident has no record of playing at the same time.

Because of his outstanding performance last season, after Vardy left, he took on the offensive banner of Manchester United. Ronaldo is already considered one of the superstars. If you follow everyone's ranking, at least the top three, you are likely to surpass Kaka and rank behind Vardy.

Many super giants have already had rumors with Ronaldo, especially Real Madrid, who are determined to win the Portuguese. If Ronaldo leaves Manchester United after the European Cup, the former trident will be their own and will not be together again.

So the significance of this game is even more important. I don’t know what kind of passion sparks will burst out when the tridents get together.

The two players who have the highest praise for the double footballer this year are Vardy and Ronaldo. The performance in the European Cup will directly determine who can win the championship. Therefore, the significance of this game will be far more than just one game.

From the moment the opponent confirmed, Vardy knew that the system would definitely send out tasks. As a result, the system really produced more than one task.

"System Mission: The Trial Monk Showdown of the Bronze Man"

"Task description: Facing Pepe, who also has the nickname of a monk, use his better martial arts to prove that he is more worthy of this title and win a direct showdown between monks"

"Task Reward: Unknown"

"Punishment of failure: None"

"System Mission: The King's Glory"

"Task description: Use the best performance to beat Ronaldo in the direct duel and add the final bargaining chips to the selection of the double-level masters"

"Task Reward: Unknown"

"Punishment of failure: None"

"System Note: Although there is no punishment, his performance is not as good as Ronaldo. Missing the double-level master is the biggest punishment for the host."

Vardy nodded slightly as he looked at the two newly released tasks.

Finally, the system became serious once, but there were no strange requirements.

Even if there is no task, I will still defeat Ronaldo with the best performance. This is what Vardy must do.

As for the monk showdown with Pepe, it's a bit nonsense, but at least it doesn't have to be funny, it's already rare.

Of course, the unknown task reward is a bit of a scam, and the unknown things are the most terrifying.

If Vardy really completes the task, the system rewards him with "losing an offensive feature", and he has no place to argue.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord, and the system is likely to use such a statement to fool Vardy.

No matter what, the task is not a scam, and it won't make Vardy unable to take action. This is already very satisfying

At the pre-match press conference, Heinx brought Beckham and Valdi to participate, while in Portugal, Scolari brought captain Simon and No. 1 star Ronaldo to participate, which seemed to be a tit-for-tat.

Both coaches said some formulaic speeches without any substantive significance, and no reporter used these as themes.

In the following questioning session, the reporters were in a hurry and rushed to throw the questions at several players.

"Mr. Valdy, if England loses to Portugal in this game, then how will you face Ronaldo?"

The reporter's question suddenly made the room quiet, and the question clearly meant to be sowed by discord.

However, Vardy shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "In fact, you should ask Cristiano more about this question, because he is a proud person, and it is probably difficult to accept the result of failure. As for myself, I think I will comfort him, well, and give him a big hug."

The reporters couldn't help but smile. Although Vardy was not a big mouth, he never suffered a loss when interviewing.

Obviously, Vardy used another way to show his determination to win, so he didn't know how to face his friends, but Ronaldo.

C Luo, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help but roll his eyes. The stinky guy always spoke so annoyingly.

Before the reporter could ask questions, Ronaldo had already taken the microphone and said directly to Valdy: "If England loses, I can give you two hugs. Who made me so generous!"

The reporters burst into laughter again. Ronaldo and Valdi quarrel like this used to be a daily routine for Manchester United to laugh, but such things are rarely seen now.

The press officer quickly asked the next reporter to ask a question, otherwise this would become a place for Vardy and Ronaldo to play.

Ronaldo gave Valdi a provocative look, and Valdi glared back without hesitation. If he didn't know the intimate relationship between the two, he might have mistakenly thought that they were enemies.

After the press conference, Vardy was about to leave with Heinx, but unexpectedly he was pulled into the corner by C Ronaldo.

"Do you want to koshe me first and then Portugal will win tomorrow?" Valdy smiled and said, "Then you should know that your combat power is far inferior to mine!"

C Luo couldn't help rolling his eyes. If he really wanted to attack Vardy, he still needed to fight in close combat?

"You may not win tomorrow's game!" Ronaldo's tone was full of confidence, as if he was really holding a nuclear weapon and could blow England away at any time.

Vardy didn't know where Ronaldo got his self-confidence, but he knew that Ronaldo's performance in the world competition was always unsatisfactory.

Compared with the club's big victory, although Ronaldo also performed well in the national team, he was far less amazing than in the club and had a decisive role. This has always been one of the things that Ronaldo was criticized.

Now Ronaldo seems not just forcing him to speak harshly, but really confident, which makes Vardy be wary.

Shrugged, Vardy said something that made Ronaldo feel a little moved.
