Meet the four heroes of EURO 2024

With the four strongest teams in Europe currently gathered in the semi-finals, EURO 2024 promises to be dramatic until the last minute.

This is the first time in history that the EURO semi-finals are a competition between teams in the FIFA Top 10. Notably, the two semi-finals are a confrontation between teams pursuing completely different styles of football, making the round even more interesting and unpredictable.

Of the four semi-finalists, three, the Netherlands, France and Spain, have all won the EURO. Only England has never won the continent's top tournament.

At this EURO, England has a star-studded squad and is considered the most valuable team in the tournament. Although England has not played well or convincingly, they are a famous team with last-minute equalizers from outstanding individuals that change the outcome of the match.

Quite fortunate from the beginning of the tournament, coach Gareth Southgate and his team are determined to change the color of the medal and make history at EURO 2024. At the previous EURO, the Three Lions reached the final but lost to Italy on penalties.

England have been criticised for their performances, but have quietly made it through the knockout stages. In fact, the Three Lions have not delivered a convincing performance since the start of the tournament. But with their individual performances shining at the right time, they have once again reached the semi-finals of the big stage.

Spain and Germany are currently the teams with the most EURO championships (3 times). The Spanish team will have the opportunity to surpass Germany if they win this year's tournament.

At EURO 2024, Spain no longer has the strong tiki-taka mark of the previous period, but they still play ball control based on technical players, quick transitions and effective attack (currently leading the tournament with 11 goals).

In the semi-finals, Spain will have to overcome the challenge of France.

In this year's tournament, France is showing a pragmatic style of play. In the 5 matches played, Les Bleus have only scored 3 goals. Coach Didier Deschamps often uses a defensive midfield, including top players such as Aurelien Tchouameni or N'Golo Kante, helping the team only concede 1 goal.

In the past, the French team was the team that won EURO twice (1984 and 2000). Currently, coach Didier Deschamps and his team are very eager to win the third title at EURO this time.

The match between Spain and France is highly anticipated, as both teams have a rich history in the EURO and World Cup. This is also a match between the strongest attack and the most solid defense of the tournament.

The last time Spain and France met at EURO 2012, Spain beat France 2-0. At that time, La Roja were the defending champions and had a talented squad. At this year's tournament, France are the defending World Cup runners-up and are also the top contenders for the title.

Participating in the group of four heroes at EURO this time is the Netherlands team. This is the first time the "Orange Storm" has reached the EURO semi-finals in 20 years. It can be said that this EURO has marked the return of Dutch football after a period of crisis. Coach Ronald Koeman's team is creating sympathy with their fiery attacking style of play, reviving memories of the "Orange Storm" in the past.

England and the Netherlands will produce a balanced and unpredictable match. This will be the fourth time the two teams have met at a major tournament, and the first time since EURO 1996. However, the previous three meetings have all been in the group stage, with each team winning one, drawing one and losing one.
