On February 5, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, the European Cup group match has ended, 16 of the 24 teams have advanced to the knockout stage, and 8 teams have returned home early. In this football feast, there are surprises and disappointments, including dark horses and strong teams. This article will analyze the ranking rules of European Cup winners, as well as the performance and prospects of each team.
The ranking rules of winning prizes in the European Cup are as follows: the champion team will get a prize of 10 million euros, the Asian army will get 7 million euros, the top four teams will get 5 million euros, the top eight teams will get 3.25 million euros, the top 16 teams will get 2 million euros, each win in the group match will get 1 million euros, and each draw will get 500000 euros. Therefore, the total bonus of each team will depend on their achievements and achievements.
In the group matches, some teams, such as the Italian team, have performed brilliantly. The Italian team ranked first in Group A with a record of winning all three games, scoring 7 goals without conceding goals, demonstrating a strong offensive and defensive ability. Mancini, the coach of the Italian team, successfully created a united, active and creative team, which made people see the shadow of winning the championship in 1968. Italy is regarded as the biggest dark horse in this European Cup and is expected to win the championship.
Another amazing team is Denmark. In the first match of Group B, Denmark suffered cardiac arrest from captain Eriksson, which made the world worried. Although Sven Goran Eriksson's life was saved, Denmark lost 1-0 to Finland, which was psychologically hit. In the second game, Denmark lost to Belgium 1-2 and was in crisis of qualifying. However, the Danish team did not give up. In the third game, they defeated the Russian team 4-1 and advanced to the knockout stage as the second in the group, demonstrating their tenacious fighting spirit and excellent techniques and tactics. Denmark has also won the respect and applause of the world, and is known as the "most popular team in the European Cup".
In contrast, the performance of some teams, such as Germany and Spain, was disappointing. Germany is in the "group of death" in Group F, with France, Portugal and Hungary in the same group. In the first game, Germany lost 1-0 to France. Although it was not inferior on the scene, it was unable to break the goal. In the second game, Germany defeated Portugal 4-2, regaining some confidence and condition. In the third game, the German team and the Hungarian team had a hard fight. They were led twice by their opponents and equalized twice. Finally, they drew 2-2 and barely advanced to the knockout stage as the second team in the group. The German team's performance was unstable, and there were problems at both ends of attack and defense, which made people doubt whether they could go further.
Spain was not easy in Group E, with Sweden, Poland and Slovakia in the same group. In the first game, Spain drew 0-0 with Sweden. Although the ball control rate was as high as 75%, it could not be converted into goals. In the second game, Spain drew 1-1 with Poland. Morata's penalty was saved, and Spain's shooting ability was questioned. In the third game, the Spanish team finally broke the deadlock by beating Slovakia 5-0 and advancing to the knockout stage as the first in the group. The performance of the Spanish team is not stable enough. There is a lack of killer maces on the offensive side, and there are also mistakes on the defensive side. People are not very optimistic about their prospects.
The knockout round of the European Cup will begin on February 6, 2024, and 16 teams will compete in life and death. Only the winner can advance to the next round. Here is the table of knockout matches:
