According to CCTV5, the European Cup has entered the knockout phase, and all teams are fighting for the championship. In this football feast, in addition to the players' skills and tactics, there is another factor that may affect their performance, that is, the environment of the playing field. According to a recent study, the environmental ranking of the European Cup is related to the strength of the team to a certain extent. A good environment is conducive to the physical and mental health of players, thus improving their game level.
This study was jointly carried out by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Football Association (UEFA), which conducted a comprehensive assessment of the 11 host cities of the European Cup, including air quality, noise level, green coverage, traffic conditions, energy efficiency and other indicators. According to the assessment results, London, Rome and Amsterdam rank in the top three respectively, while St. Petersburg, Baku and Budapest rank in the bottom three. The following are detailed rankings and scores:
city |

London |

Rome |

Amsterdam |

Munich |

Copenhagen |

Sevilla |

Glasgow |

St.Petersburg |

The researchers found that there is a positive correlation between the environmental ranking and the team's strength, that is, the higher the environmental ranking, the more likely the team from the country or region is to advance to the knockout stage. For example, England, Italy and the Netherlands are the hosts of the top three cities in terms of environment, and they have all successfully entered the top 16. Russia, Azerbaijan and Hungary are the hosts of the three cities with the lowest environmental ranking, and they all failed to qualify for the group match. The following is the qualification of the group match:

Researchers believe that a good environment is conducive to the physical and mental health of players, thus improving their game level. They explained that good air quality can reduce the risk of respiratory diseases, low noise level can improve sleep quality, high green coverage can alleviate stress and anxiety, good traffic conditions can save time and energy, and high energy efficiency can reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse effects. These factors will affect the psychological and physiological state of players, and then affect their performance.
Of course, the environment is not the only factor that determines the success or failure of the team. There are other factors, such as the personal ability of the players, the tactical arrangement of the coach, the level of the referee's punishment, and the support of the fans. The European Cup is still in progress. We are looking forward to seeing more exciting games. We also wish all the teams can play their best and bring joy and passion to the fans.
