The first semi-final pair of this year's EURO will be Spain and France. Two teams that have played a completely different tournament so far and there is no doubt that Spain left a much better impression. According to everything shown so far, it seems that the Spaniards entered every match with the desire to play football, to compete with the opponent, unlike many other teams. This was also the case in the match against Germany, in which they were a much better rival with a clear desire to play, unlike Germany, which obviously wanted the match to go to extra time. They made a lot of rough fouls and started to play only when they conceded a goal and when Spain slowed down their attacks. After going to extra time, Spain again took the initiative and they absolutely deserved to find themselves in the semi-finals. How dominant they are is best shown by the fact that every player who comes off the bench does not slow down the rhythm of the game, even more, brings an obvious improvement in the game. In this match, they will not be able to count on the injured Pedri and the suspended Le Normand and Carvajal. Pedrija will replace Olmo without major problems, Le Normand will replace Nacho, and the only "problem" the coach of Spain will have is whether to include Navas in the team instead of Carvajal or if he will come up with something else. Whatever he does, Spain seems so secure that I believe these absences will not be noticed so much. Once again, France disappointed both their fans and neutral fans around the world with their game. What they are showing is absolutely below the expected level of a team like Deschamps has at his disposal. With a lot of luck, they defeated Portugal after the penalty shootout and scheduled a duel with Spain. In every statistical parameter, the Portuguese were the better team on the field and I personally think they deserved to go on. It really seems incredible, but after 5 games France has not scored a goal from a created action, as I said in the last text, they scored a goal from the penalty and the opponents scored two own goals. A team that has players like Mbappe, Dembele, Thuram, Griezmann and others in its attack really cannot allow that to happen. Certainly the most was expected from Mbappe, who, like the rest of the team, failed. As expected, playing under a mask causes him problems and his lack of contribution to the team is evident. The stakes are getting higher with each subsequent match and risk taking will be less and less. I expect that France will try to further slow down the pace in this match, and that the Spaniards will be the ones who will have complete control of the match. Despite some absences, Spain seem like a very well organized team and I honestly think that the bet that Spain does not lose this match in the regular 90 minutes is the best bet.

今年欧洲杯的第一对半决赛组合将是西班牙和法国。到目前为止，这两支球队踢了完全不同的比赛，毫无疑问，西班牙队给人留下了更好的印象。根据目前所显示的一切，西班牙人似乎带着踢球的欲望进入每场比赛，与对手竞争，不像其他许多球队。在与德国的比赛中也是如此，他们是一个更好的对手，有明显的比赛欲望，不像德国，显然希望比赛进入加时赛。他们制造了很多粗暴的犯规，只有在他们丢球和西班牙放慢进攻速度时才开始比赛。在进入加时赛后，西班牙再次取得了主动，他们完全有资格进入半决赛。他们的统治力体现在每个替补上场的球员都不会拖慢比赛节奏，甚至会给比赛带来明显的改善。在这场比赛中，他们将不能指望受伤的佩德里和停赛的勒诺曼和卡瓦哈尔。佩德里贾将会毫无问题地取代奥尔莫，勒诺曼德将会取代纳乔，而西班牙队主教练唯一的“问题”是是否用纳瓦斯代替卡瓦哈尔，或者他是否会找到其他人选。无论他做什么，西班牙看起来都很安全，我相信他的缺席不会引起太大的注意。法国的比赛再一次让他们的球迷和世界各地的中立球迷失望。他们的表现绝对低于德尚所期望的水平。幸运的是，他们在点球大战后击败了葡萄牙，并安排了与西班牙的对决。在每一个统计参数中，葡萄牙人都是场上更好的球队，我个人认为他们应该继续比赛。这看起来真的很不可思议，但是在5场比赛之后，法国队还没有通过创造进球，就像我在上一篇文章中说的，他们通过点球进了一个球，对手进了两个乌龙球。一支拥有姆巴佩、登贝莱、图拉姆、格列兹曼等攻击手的球队，绝对不会允许这样的事情发生。当然，人们对姆巴佩寄予了最大的期望，但他和球队的其他球员一样失败了。正如预期的那样，戴着面具比赛给他带来了问题，他对球队的贡献不足是显而易见的。随着每一场比赛的进行，赌注会越来越高，承担的风险会越来越少。我预计法国队会在这场比赛中进一步放慢节奏，而西班牙人将会完全控制比赛。尽管有一些缺阵，但西班牙似乎是一支组织良好的球队，老实说，我认为西班牙在常规的90分钟内不会输掉这场比赛是最好的赌注。
