According to CCTV5 program list (February 20, 2024), the European Cup is the highest level event in European football. It is held every four years. This year's European Cup has entered the competition for the top four teams, namely Italy, Spain, Denmark and England. So, how is the third place ranking of the European Cup calculated? UEFA has announced the latest competition system and rules. Let's have a look.

According to the regulations of UEFA, the third place ranking of the European Cup is determined according to the following order: 1. the winning or losing relationship in the knockout phase; 2. The goal difference in the knockout phase; 3. The number of goals in the knockout phase; 4. Fair competition score in the knockout stage (3 points for red card and 1 point for yellow card); 5. UEFA national team ranking. In other words, if two teams are eliminated in the semi-final, their third place ranking will be determined according to their performance in the knockout phase, rather than the third place competition.

So, what are the influencing factors of the semi-finals of this European Cup? We invited the European football expert Zhang Wei to interpret for us. Zhang Wei believes that the results of the four strong matches will be affected by the following aspects: 1. the state and confidence of the team; 2. Team style and tactics; 3. Injuries and suspensions of the team; 4. The team's home and away venues and fan support.

Zhang Wei said: "The last four matches are the climax of the European Cup and the most testing moment for the team. The state and confidence of the team are very important. From the current situation, the state and confidence of the Italian team and the English team are very high. They both maintain an unbeaten record, and both have excellent attack and defense. The state and confidence of the Spanish team and the Danish team are relatively low. They have both experienced bitter battles and penalty shootouts, and both have obvious defensive loopholes. "

Zhang Wei continued: "The style and tactics of the team are also the key factors that affect the game. Different styles and tactics will produce different effects and confrontations. From the current situation, the style and tactics of the Italian team and the Spanish team are quite similar. They both focus on ball control and passing and cutting, and their games may be more balanced and intense. The style and tactics of England and Denmark are quite different. England pays more attention to speed and directness, while Denmark pays more attention to teamwork and tenacity. Their matches may be more contrastive and conflicting. "

Zhang Wei finally said: "The team's injuries and suspensions are also important factors that affect the game. They will affect the team's lineup and combat effectiveness. From the current situation, the injuries and suspensions of the Italian team and the Spanish team are relatively minor, and their lineups and combat effectiveness are relatively complete. England and Denmark have serious injuries and suspensions. England's main central defender Maguire and main right back Walker have the risk of accumulating yellow cards. Denmark's main central midfielder Hoybell has been suspended because of a red card, and their line-up and combat effectiveness have been weakened. "

Zhang Wei also mentioned the influence of home and away matches and fan support of the team. He said: "Home and away matches and fan support are also important factors that affect the game. They will affect the team's psychology and atmosphere. From the current situation, the English team has obvious home advantage. Their semi-finals and finals will be held at Wembley Stadium in London. They will get a lot of support from local fans, which is a great encouragement to them. The Italian team, the Spanish team and the Danish team are all away from home. Their fans have relatively little support, which is a big challenge for them. "

To sum up, the third place ranking of the European Cup is determined according to the performance of the knockout phase, and the results of the four strong teams are affected in many ways. We look forward to the four teams bringing us wonderful games, and wish them to achieve ideal results.
