Portugal 0-0 France (penalty kick 3-5)

Xiao Wu, a special correspondent of Sports Weekly

The players of our team scored zero goals in the semi-finals, and the embarrassing record of the French team is also two sides. On the one hand, the French offensive line led by Mbappe is in the doldrums, but on the other hand, their defense is really solid. In terms of goals, not counting the gift from the opponent’s own goal, France scored only one penalty; when it comes to conceding the ball, France conceded only one penalty.

The moment France won the penalty shootout, penalty taker Theo Hern รก ndez subconsciously rushed to the nearest Menion, and the two celebrated passionately, as happened at AC Milan. Maybe this is not only because the two are closest to each other, but also because of Milan, the relationship between them may be the closest. France can only concede a penalty, which is inseparable from the performance of Special Olympics and Menion. Gallic Roosters made it to the semi-finals thanks to AC Milan.

Moreover, this kind of credit is extra, even the “special version” of the national team. Take Menean as an example. This past season, he has actually suffered a lot of doubts and criticism at AC Milan, not the phenomenal goalkeeper who is proficient in everything. The so-called proficiency in everything means that you can not only make a wonderful save on the goal line, but also use the superb Bigfoot technology to help the team change from defense to attack, and sometimes directly form assists. But in the 2023-24 season, Menean’s big feet became more blind, the error rate increased, and even the save actions that depended on survival made mistakes frequently.

The goalkeeper who is famous for his batting power and explosive power has disappeared and has been replaced by a mediocre goalkeeper with too many injuries and too many worries. Menion’s 2023-24 league save success rate is only 719%, only in the middle level, and sometimes become a “regent”. Menean’s inexplicable concession of goals is also increasing due to Milan’s defensive organization problems.

Another disadvantage is injury, and the risk of injury in the goalkeeper position is supposed to be much smaller than that of players in other positions. But Menion missed a total of five games for different reasons, affecting a total of eight games. Until before the European Cup, there was news that he might be absent because of a finger injury, but fortunately he came back in time. In addition to these competitive factors, there is also the worry of racial discrimination against him. In the away game against Udinese, Menion encountered the racist behavior of local extreme fans. Later, Menion got a lot of support, but this season for him, it can be said that everything is not going well.

When they arrived at the European Cup, French fans were pleasantly surprised to find that the omnipotent Menion had returned. In the first group stage against Austria, he put on extreme rescue, subconsciously destroying Baumgartner’s single-knife ball with his legs. In this game, Menion put on a wonderful two-game run: Portuguese midfielder Vettia was blocked from close range by him, and then on the bottom line, he blocked Ronaldo’s heel attempt.

After several games, Menion’s save success rate has jumped to 94%, averaging 32 saves per game, although the sample is a little small, but it is enough to show that Menion is in a state of recovery. In stopping the opponent’s goal expectations of this data, Menion is against the sky, the data show that he avoided a total of four goals for France. On the other hand, the Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who shines in the 18 finals, has only 05 in this figure, that is to say, if the French team is not Menion in front of the door, the team is likely to be eliminated in advance.

Interestingly, although the two teams experienced a penalty shootout, neither of the two goalkeepers succeeded in hitting the spot. Bernardo Silva, the second player in Portugal, kicked the ball of mediocre quality, and the semi-high ball was successfully predicted by Minean, who had already touched the ball at his fingertips, but Menion failed to stop the ball from entering. Perhaps frightened by the ball, Felix, who came out in the back, kicked directly into the post, and Menion predicted the right direction. In fact, Menion saved a penalty in the group stage, but it is not on record. Against Poland, Lewandowski’s first attempt was extremely procrastinating, constantly changing the rhythm and suddenly slowing down, causing Menion’s feet to leave the goal line ahead of time and was asked for a heavy penalty by the referee. After the game, Menion complained on social media, “it takes 87 fakes to take a penalty.” Maybe Menion only lacks an opportunity, a canonized work like Diogo Costa.

And Menion’s teammate Teo, who is both in club and national team, has also found his best form. It should be said that Special Olympics at the club has some privileges, but he is also affected by the instability of the defensive line, some games appear distracted, or particularly impatient. But when it came to the French national team, he was the most robust link and had a morale-boosting effect, such as blocking the opponent’s shot in the last game. For example, in the 110th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball at high speed from the flank, and Special Olympics completed the overtaking, killing Ronaldo’s dream of scoring goals.

Maybe in the national team, Special Olympics does not need to worry as much as in Milan, the personal ability of his teammates is enough, he just needs to use his skills in a more clear tactical arrangement. Special Olympics made sacrifices for the team and increased his calm temperament at the same time. His last appearance in the penalty shootout also shows Deschamps’ trust in him. Theo made a penalty to the corner. After the goal, he didn’t lose his temper and celebrated with his teammates. From Menion and Special Olympics, it can be seen that the performance of the club and the national team are essentially mutually reinforcing. It’s just that Milan fans hope that the Milan players in the French team will not be too tired, after all, the long league is still waiting for them.
