Guangzhou Daily (full media reporter Zhou Wanqi) In the early morning of Beijing time yesterday, the first European National League continued to fight fiercely. The focus was that "bullfighters" were not alone, because "Gallic chickens" also joined the ranks of "spectators". Now whether the new World Cup champion France team can reach the top of the group and advance to the top four depends on others' faces.
In the focus of Group A1 of the European National League, the Netherlands defeated France 2-0 at home, becoming the first team to defeat this year's World Cup champion, ending the French captain's 17 month unbeaten record in 15 official matches, and ending his nightmare of losing to the "Gallic Chicken" (five consecutive defeats) for 10 years.
For two consecutive rounds of the European National League, the Netherlands has defeated Germany and France. At present, in Group A1, the French team that has played four rounds leads with 7 points. The Netherlands team and the German team that have played three rounds in each game have 6 points and 1 point respectively. In this way, the German team fell into gear B in advance, and in the final round, the German team will host the Dutch team. The French team can only keep the top of the group if the German team beats the Dutch team.
After the 2012 European Cup, the "golden generation" has gradually aged, and the withering of "tulips" has become a great regret in Europe and the world football world. However, in the first European National League, the "Orange Shirts" made the 2018 World Cup champion France lose the initiative to qualify, demoted the 2014 World Cup champion Germany, and finally demonstrated the "king without a crown" temperament of the Netherlands team, which has kept the hope of reaching the top four. Maybe the world champion is lucky this time. After all, France and Germany are encountering some difficulties, but the Netherlands team undoubtedly shows the dawn of rising again.
