Moving
In the first game day after the opening game, although many stars appeared, almost everyone was no longer worried about the game itself, but Eriksson's safety.
Towards the end of the first half of the first round of the match between Denmark and Finland in Group B, Denmark’s top star Eriksson fell to the ground and lost consciousness without confrontation. The medical team gave him an emergency cardiac resuscitation. Then Eriksson Was taken to the hospital for further treatment.
When the medical team entered the field to give first aid to Eriksson, the Danish team members formed a circle to form the most beautiful wall.

After being admitted to the hospital, Eriksson underwent a cardiac examination. The doctor implanted an ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) for him, and his physical condition is improving.
In the 2nd round of Group B between Denmark and Belgium, in the 10th minute, the Belgian team, which had the ball and lagging behind, gave up the attack.
The players of the two teams stopped fighting, and together with the referee and fans on the spot, they applauded collectively to send blessings to Eriksson.
No. 10 is Eriksson's jersey number in the national team.
The significance of this moment surpasses the football game itself.
And everyone who applauded at the scene and every fan who saw this scene through the screen, the touch of harvest will make them have a deeper understanding of life.
lonely
If you haven't experienced what it's like to be alone, take a look at Levan and Ronaldo in this European Cup.

In the final round of the game, Poland played against Sweden.
In the game, Poland fell behind 0:2, relying on Lewand’s two goals to tie the score.
However, before the end of the game, Krasson's goal helped Sweden seal the victory, and Poland was eliminated.
After the game, Levan shed tears.
However, as the Bundesliga official Bo said: "It's like a butterfly can't fly over the sea, no one will bear the blame." Football is always a collective sport. Lewand has 10 teammates on the field, but at the same time he is so lonely.
Compared to Levan, Cristiano Ronaldo is more fortunate. Portugal drew with France 2:2 in the final round and qualified as the third in the group.
In the game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on penalty kicks, and the national team scored 109 goals, tying the national team goal record held by Ali Daei.

Portugal, which defeated Hungary with 3 goals in the first round, was forced into a desperate situation due to a loss to Germany in the second round.
In the game against Germany, Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the opening 15 minutes for the team to take the lead, but his teammates helped the opponent to overtake with two own owns. In the end Portugal lost to Germany 2:4.
After that game, "Distressed Ronaldo" appeared on Weibo's hot search.
Some fans said that Ronaldo can score if teammates don't score, but at least teammates don't help opponents score!
The stories of lone heroes are often wonderful and tragic. People talk about the word "gut", but for heroes, it may be the word "solitary" that is repeatedly experienced.

Reluctant to give up
This is a game full of farewells, and some people are likely to appear in the European Cup for the last time.
Goran Pandev, who will be 38 years old next month, will complete the last game of the national team jersey in the European Cup.
The North Macedonia group led by him lost all three games, and the first European Cup tour ended with the bottom of the group.
But no one will criticize such a team, such a leader.
Since putting on the national team jersey for the first time in 2001, Pandev has played 122 times on behalf of the national team and scored 38 goals, both of which are the highest in team history.
Pandev retired from the national team.
It took him 20 years to lead the North Macedonia team from a big belly to a member of the European Cup finals.
In the football world, not only those strong teams that win the cup are worthy of respect, but the teams that constantly break through themselves are all good ones.
And this year's European Cup will also be the last event that Loew leads the German team to participate in.
He led the team to win the World Cup in 2014, and as the defending champion, he was out of the group stage of the 2018 World Cup upset.
In this European Cup group stage, the German team nearly overturned and finally qualified as the second place in the group.
Fans' feelings for Loew are complicated, and many people are not satisfied with his tactics and command.
There are also fans who are reluctant to leave his post. It is difficult to tell whether this reluctance is for him or for the glorious era of German football in which he participated.
Love.

Hilarious
This European Cup left a deep impression on people. In addition to the wonderful and touching moments, there are also various ridiculous scenes-own goals appear frequently, and it is common to miss penalties.
In the final round of the group stage, Spain defeated Slovakia 5:0, the most outrageous own goal of this tournament was born.
Slovakia goalkeeper Dubravka made a fatal error when dealing with a low-difficult high ball and directly shot the ball into his own gate.
If in a volleyball court, this will be a wonderful block score, if in a basketball court, this will be a wonderful dunk, but in a football field, this can only be a wonderful own goal (for the opponent).
Dubravka made a huge mistake.

Of course, the Spanish team was not much better. In the tenth minute of the game, they got a penalty kick, but Morata's penalty was saved by Dubravka.
You know, the last time a Spanish player missed a penalty kick dates back to a long time... Oh, Moreno also missed a penalty in the last round, so it's not far away...
If Dubravka didn't save Morata's penalty and didn't send an own goal, Spain would also score a goal, but neither he nor Morata would be the object of fans' ridicule.
Maybe this is football. You never know which one will come first, the most exciting and the most terrible. Every minute before the end of the game is full of fascinating suspense.
Spain celebrated the goal.

Worries
Affected by the epidemic, many large-scale football matches have been held in empty venues or strictly controlled the number of spectators.
In this way, the originally passionate stadium will inevitably appear deserted.
In this year's European Cup, some stadiums that hosted matches have gradually increased the spectator quota.
For example, the British authorities announced that the two semi-finals and finals will allow more than 60,000 spectators to enter Wembley Stadium, while the number initially planned was 40,000.
The influx of a large number of fans into the stadium will undoubtedly bring about a good atmosphere of the game, but with it there is a higher risk of epidemic spread.
A few days ago, the World Health Organization expressed concern about the relaxation of restrictions by some host countries of the European Cup, and called on European countries to respond quickly to the resulting rebound of the epidemic.
On June 15, local time, as the new crown epidemic in Germany further stabilized, many federal states further promoted the "unblocking" and relaxed the previously adopted epidemic prevention measures.

Slovakia coach Tarkovic said on the 17th local time that team defender Vavro and a staff member tested positive for the new crown virus on the 16th.
This is the first case of infection since the start of this European Cup.
Since then, the Scottish midfielder Gilmour also tested positive for the new crown virus and missed the final round of the group stage.
Judging from the information currently officially announced, there has been no large-scale infection among the participants of the European Cup.
But the sporadic cases indicate that the hidden danger of the epidemic is still there.
Whether more spectators in the knockout matches will amplify this hidden danger, I have to worry about it.
