1 1 city 1 1 stadium, and the audience entered on a large scale.
The year 2020 was originally the 60th anniversary of the European Cup. Uefa decided not to set up the host country early, but to let 12 cities * * * co-host. After a year's delay due to the epidemic, Dublin and Bilbao failed to meet the requirements for hosting the Olympic Games. The former was disqualified and the latter was awarded by another Spanish city, Seville.
There are 24 teams, 36 group matches and 15 knockout matches in this European Cup. Azerbaijan and Romania didn't advance to the final, so * * * has nine hosts, and each host team can play at least two games at home.
According to the requirements of UEFA, spectators are allowed to enter the European Cup on a large scale, and the attendance rate of most stadiums accounts for about 25% of the total stadium capacity. The attendance rate of two courses in St. Petersburg, Russia and Baku, Azerbaijan reached 50%, and Budapest, Hungary reached 100%.
The list of teams participating in this European Cup has increased to 26.
The list has been increased to 26 people, and there are 5 substitutes in regular time.
This European Cup has been postponed for one year, which is the first time in history to be held in odd-numbered years. Besides, there are many firsts. In order to cope with the possible epidemic risk, this European Cup will increase all participating teams from 23 to 26. Of course, the number of applicants for each competition is still 23.
According to the regulations of this European Cup, each team has a maximum of three substitutions in each game, and a maximum of five substitutions are allowed in regular time. If the game goes into overtime, the sixth substitute is allowed to play. This regulation originated from the new rules of FIFA and has been tried out in major leagues before.
For the teams with excellent depth and strong substitutes in this European Cup, this regulation will undoubtedly make the team more handy in the adjustment of lineup, skills and tactics.
Three aspects
Portugal is in the group of death, and Cristiano Ronaldo is not easy to break through.
Five years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to win the first European Cup in the team's history, and bluntly said it was the most important trophy in his career. Today, five years later, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates must first fight for qualifying for the group.
Portugal is in Group F with France, Germany and Hungary. France is the champion of the 20 18 World Cup, Germany is the champion of the 20 14 World Cup, Hungary is one of the nine hosts, and Group F is a veritable "death group". Although the third place in the group also has a chance to qualify, the situation of Portugal's breakthrough is not optimistic.
Pepe, the core of Portugal's defense, is 38 years old and Cristiano Ronaldo is 36 years old. Even though the team has Ruben Diaz, the best player in the new Premier League, and two midfielders, Bruno Fernandez and Bernardo Silva, they are also the top stars of the Premier League giants. This old and new Portuguese team still has a lot to improve.
Three aspects 4
Benzema returned after six years, and France won the championship one after another.
As the champion of the 20 18 Russian World Cup, with world-class stars such as Mbappé, Kantor and Gritzman, and the return of the main striker Benzema after six years, the French team is undoubtedly the biggest favourite to win the European Cup, and their goal is to win the World Championships in succession.
Coach Deschamps brought 14 of the World Cup winning squad to the European Cup, and the strength of the French team increased greatly. Goalkeeper Lori, central defender Vallanet, full-back pawar and Lucas Hernandez are still the main defenders. Kanter has just led Chelsea to win the Champions League and become a popular candidate for the Golden Globe Award. Bogba is still at the top. Grizman and Mbappé have had ups and downs this season due to injuries, but Benzema's return and Jill's replacement are enough to ensure the French team's attack.
1998 During the World Cup and the European Cup in 2000, Deschamps helped France win the World Series in succession. Now, he has the opportunity to lead the French team to win the World Cup and the European Cup as a coach.

Do not rule out the emergence of dark horses, with emphasis on Denmark and Turkey.
There are many "dark horses" in the history of the European Cup. The most famous ones are Danish Fairy Tales by 1992 and Greek Myths in 2004. 1996, the Czech team led by Nedved also reached the final.
In the European Cup in the summer of 20 16, both Wales and Iceland made history. The former beat champion Belgium to enter the semi-finals, while the latter beat England to advance to the semi-finals. In this European Cup, the lineups of Denmark and Turkey seem insignificant, but both have dark horse potential.
There are Inter star Eriksson in the midfield, Schumacher Jr. and Christensen in the backcourt, and energetic strikers such as Wende and Paulson in the frontcourt. They are in the same group as Belgium, Russia and Finland. Denmark's qualifying is not a big problem, and there is a chance to go further in the knockout stage.
In the past two years, Turkey has defeated France and the Netherlands in European Cup qualifiers and World Cup qualifiers. AC Milan star Charhan Oulu is in charge of the midfield, followed by several Premier League defenders, as well as three new French champions Lille, Ilmaz, celik and Jadzic. The opening match is against Italy, and the other two group opponents are Wales and Switzerland. Obviously, Turkey will not be satisfied with qualifying for the group.
The European Cup is about to be unveiled. In the festival of fans, more than two famous players will return to the national team, and many national teams will return to the stage of competition. The most striking are Italy and the Netherlands. They were reborn at the bottom of the valley. At present, they can only rank in the second echelon in Europe, and it is difficult to take winning the championship as a realistic goal. However, back to the game, the veterans in the array had a more decent chance to say goodbye.
Chiellini, 36, and bonucci, 34, two central defenders who can "defend the Buddha in Kazakhstan" (in Mourinho's words), may perform a "swan song". Especially after the former suffered serious injuries, it is difficult to continue fighting in Juventus, and he may even announce his retirement this summer. The European Cup provided him with a venue in one last dance. He started for the Italian national team at Euro 2008. Cannavaro was accidentally injured in training, and then became a starter, which opened the history of the national team for more than ten years.
Holland has the oldest player in this tournament, the old goalkeeper Stecklenberg, who was born in1September, 982. Stecklenberg, who has made his debut in 19, has served as a "mascot" in Ajax in recent years. Because of Onana's banned drugs, he didn't return to the starting lineup until this season. Since 20 12 and 10, he has only made four appearances for the national team, but now he may be the "second door"-the main goalkeeper Selesen has diagnosed that COVID-19 lacks fighting capacity, and Stekelenburg's appearance order is bound to improve. Goalkeepers have a relatively long sports career. The only person born on 1982 in this European Cup is Scottish goalkeeper craig gordon, while Ukrainian goalkeeper pyatov will turn 37 and Polish goalkeeper Fabianski will turn 36. Not surprisingly, most of them will bid farewell to the competition stage after this championship.
In recent years, Croatia and Poland have been playing steadily in the competition. Besides Mero, they have also won nearly two Golden Globe winners/World Footballer of the Year, but the 2020 European Cup is probably the last moment for the two gentlemen. Modric broke out in the 20 18 World Cup, leading the team to create a team history record of runner-up. Even because he pushed too hard in this competition, he once fell in the club. However, under the adjustment of Zidane, "Magic Flute" regained the status of Golden Globe Award in Real Madrid this season. Only modric's 80-year-old teammates are only a few, such as perisic (32 years old) and Lovren (365,438+0 years old), and the newcomers have no comparable potential, so the future of the team is uncertain.
Modric, 35, is about to perform her swan song, while Levan, 32, still has time to look forward to the next European Cup. However, in recent years, the team as a whole has gradually shown signs of retrogression, and I am afraid it is difficult to break through the results of the last quarter-finals of the European Cup. Last season, he was crowned three times and then reached the peak of his personal honor. This season, he continued to break through himself and created a new "eternal record" of Bundesliga goals in a single season. Levan is expected to take advantage of the fiery state to improve the score of only 1 in the last two European cups, but I'm afraid he can't do more at the team level. As far as the national team is concerned, he may never be as inlaid with gold as Cristiano Ronaldo and modric.
