It took four days of Championship and seen parading through the stages in Poland and Ukraine to all participating teams and their major players. He has seen it all: met expectations, surprises, favorites, unexpected guests, false nines, trying to touch Italian, Germany won ... but no longer see it was the first opening day for all of them and the fear of losing has beaten the the pursuit of victory. In short mattered more than the opponent does not win three points to earn them, and begin losing these tournaments can be a very large slab. However it has not been an obstacle to seeing some good football in games and interesting notes of several players.
Best player: Andres Iniesta
There were several players who seemed appointed to lead their teams and stand out above the rest, we talk of Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Silva, Pirlo, Benzema, Van Persie, Ozil, Sneijder, Ibrahimovic, Modric ... some have not featured in this first day, however, others have already demonstrated their star status, Benzema is the case with France, which made a great game against England as being more than Ten Nine, looking the ball, offered, but also of goal when looking for had the first chance. The Real Madrid Nasri had a partner in luxury. Pirlo with Italy also showed why he is the leader of the Italian midfield, giving teachers the time to organize the team.
But if anyone has shown arriving at this European Championship in an excellent state of form, that's Andres Iniesta. The Barca player, who had warned in friendlies played a great match against the Azzurri showing repertoire in the mission of unbalance in three-quarter line, and the Azzurri defenders had it frankly difficult to stop both their football and their collective individual actions. If you see decisive actions that end up in goal, it will be very expensive to be the best player in this tournament.
The surprise: Michael Krohn-Dehli
Several football players who did not have the poster of figures given above are expected in the first day: we speak of Yarmolenko and Konoplianka Ukrainians , Russian Dzagoev, who scored two goals and a good game against the Czech Republic, the surprises for Lewandowski and Piszczek after good year in Dortmund, Croatian or Greek Mandžukić Salpingidis, but the big surprise of the day gave Denmark thanks largely to its left end Krohn-Dehli, Brondby, who played a major match and scored the winning goal Danish. Thus, the end spoiled the party in the country where he could not win a few years ago when he campaigned unsuccessfully in the ranks of Ajax. In Denmark it is also noted for his midfield partner: Zimling and Kvist.
Disappointment: Robin Van Persie
It is still early to speak of disappointment when we just fought a day, but it is true that there are players who are expecting more and in a tournament so short, a single encounter can be vital. Gerrard is the case, nonexistent in the English midfield, or Ozil, who could not beat the Portuguese midfield. But in terms of disappointment is inevitable not to watch the game from the Netherlands, and in that context was Van Persie, due to their excellent season, from whom more was expected, but had his best day. Nor was a disaster, but enjoyed it missed a clear chance and walked away from being the decisive player in the Emirates.
The best match: Spain-Italy
Facing the world champions Italy and presumably come down, also adorned with the problems of calcium. Not that he expected a comfortable win in Spain, but a victory, yet Italy stood up as long as we witnessed a great game , a good tactical duel between Del Bosque and Prandelli and magnificent performances of Iniesta, Silva , Pirlo and De Rossi. The tie to one, with both goals scored by a margin of three minutes for Di Natale, who came off the bench, and Cesc, the big news in the Spanish lineup, was the outcome of a meeting between Spanish and Italian than ever disappointed.
The disappointing match Germany-Portugal
They gathered in the clash between Germans lusos and the best ingredients for a big plate of football, but someone happened to the salt. The Nani, Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Meireles Müller offered a locked game where the game took precedence hinder rival and which missed the show. They had some good chances that of Paulo Bento to take the match, but it was Germany, once again, who threw for trade to take the match with a goal, of course, Mario Gomez, one of the fitter front of the continent. It seemed by the Spain-Italy clash star, but he stayed away from the grief of the Mediterranean. Hopefully this paragraph be desert in Week 2.
The best goal: Roman Pavlyuchenko
Except for the Russia-Czech Republic and Ireland-Croatia have not seen many games with goals, in fact, both parties and the Ukraine-Sweden are the only ones who have passed both goals. And among all these goals, few stand out for their aesthetics. We have to wait to see a goal like that of Van Basten in the Euro 1988. It was a good header of Croatia's third goal, Mandžukić work, a good shot on Nasri to beat England and good assists from Silva and Cesc and Pirlo to correctly define Di Natale, but the other was a goal that was the a Russian striker who has not had much luck in recent seasons on his adventure in the Premier: Roman Pavlyuchenko. It was the fourth and final of their own, in which after stun the Czech defense, Cech dropped a forehand that came to play but not to punt.
