At 3:00 am on June 15, Beijing time, the opening battle of the 2024 European Cup is coming, and the European football feast begins! According to the guess data of the European Cup champions given by the competition lottery official, the Gallic rooster France ranked first, England and Germany ranked second and third respectively, Portugal and Spain were close to fourth and fifth respectively, and Italy, the last European Cup champion, only ranked seventh, not in the top six.
France stopped in the last European Cup in the last 16, and then won the runner up in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which is undoubtedly the most powerful contender for the championship of this European Cup. At present, France also ranks first with a loss of 4.10. France has two strikers, Mbape and Gretzman, whose performances this season are obvious to all. It is worth mentioning that Deschamps has coached the French captain for 12 years, becoming the third longest coach of the European national football team. Recently, Deschamps renewed his contract with the French Football Association. After this European Cup, he will continue to lead the Gallic Roosters to the 2026 World Cup, no matter how successful the French team is. The tactics are quite stable and the line-up is thick, which makes the prospect of France winning the championship quite optimistic.
In addition to France, England and host Germany are also favored. As the runner up of the last European Cup, England is undoubtedly the most powerful contender for the championship of this European Cup. The squad for this expedition can be described as luxurious, and the team has gathered a number of football stars with high reputation in the world football. From the front line to the defense line, every player has the ability to decide the direction of the game at a critical moment. In addition, the strong performance of the European preliminaries before, it is not surprising that they are so popular.
Germany, the host country, ranked third at 4.95/1. Young Marshal Nagelsmann continued the traditional full attack and full defense of German football. Different formations were arranged according to different opponents. Although the takeover time was not long, the current German team was still in good condition. Moreover, he gave up the invitation of Bayern Munich and chose to renew his contract with the German Football Association, which proved the confidence of the young coach. With Germany's hard strength and home advantage, the goal is not only to reach the top of the group, but also to regain the confidence of a strong team to attack the championship.
Portugal and Spain ranked fourth and fifth respectively. Spain, as the eighth in the world, has won the European Cup the most times (three times) in parallel with Germany. Italy, the champion of the last European Cup, won the fourth. Last year's European Union won the championship. Spain's performance in Europe was actually significantly better than the World Cup. Now there is no top player in the Spanish team, but with Morata, Rodriguez and other players who are more powerful than the famous players, the lower limit of the whole team is guaranteed, and the upper limit is also the European Cup champion.
When it comes to Portugal, people's thoughts always drift to Ronaldo. After all, Ronaldo's extraordinary talent has led an ordinary national team to the top of the world stage and become the pride of national football. Now Cristiano Ronaldo has embarked on the European Cup journey for the sixth time, and Danilo, the youngest of the 2016 European Cup winners, is 33 years old. How hard Cristiano Ronaldo leads this new team has become the most important point. In addition, coach Martinez is easily superstitious about big name players at the tactical level, which has become the X factor when the Portuguese national team really faces strong opponents.
Italy, as the champion of the last European Cup, has a good goalkeeper and defender in the squad for the European Cup this time. The midfield is very ordinary, and the front line is inexplicable. No one dares to underestimate the Italian team. Although the lineup is civilian, the Italian defense and tactics are enough to drive people crazy. It is not surprising that they will be eliminated early and their achievements will not be surprising. However, the defending champion was not favored by the organization, and only ranked the seventh with the odds of losing 12.00 to 1, not the top six.
The odds of winning the championship can only be a reflection of the team's strength, and can't be used to judge how far a team can go. Maybe the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark show their dark horse nature and create miracles!
