It's time.

If the battle record between two strong teams shows a one-sided trend, the more times you accumulate a row of victories, the closer you will be to the reversal. For example, over the past 25 years, Germany has killed five consecutive games against Portugal in the World Cup and European Cup, and they are getting closer and closer to being ended by Portugal. Therefore, in the UEFA semi-finals, a 2:1 game came into being, with Portugal being the winner and Germany being the loser.

In fact, it can be seen from the game scene that Portugal is more eased, and the offense and defense conversion speed is faster and more accurate. Germany is not very mentally stubborn. Of course, this is not Germany's strongest lineup. But history will only remember the result, at least, Germany's vision of Portugal's six-game killings has become a bubble. This may be a game that is not very important for world football, but in the context of Germany and Portugal's matchmaking record, it is a historic node of 25 years.

How to interpret this 2:1? Very many angles. You can say that Ronaldo is 40 years old and has the sense of smell of a top striker, you can also say that Wiltz doesn't seem to be worth 150 million. And the details I want to mention most are that the one who scored the equalizer was Kok Saisan. Is there any problem with

? Of course there is. This is clearly a call back for Xiao Kong Saisan's father, which spans 25 years.

Remember when Portugal last beat Germany? It was the 2000 European Cup group stage, 3:0. Kong Sesan scored a hat trick. For 25 years, Portugal has not been able to beat Germany until Concessan's son stood up and broke this fate.

In fact, this is just an introduction. What I want to say more is why Germany has achieved five consecutive kills against Portugal in 25 years, leaving Portugal powerless to resist? It is because, perhaps only the golden generation can beat Germany.

European Cup 2000 is the time when Portugal's golden generation shines. After the golden age, objectively speaking, Portugal has never returned to that height. Although Portugal has produced the greatest player in the team history in the past twenty years, the national team led by Ronaldo is not the top strong team in any period. Including the 2016 European Cup, Portugal is not favored. So it can only be said that Portugal has been a strong team during this period, but it has not reached the level of a top-level strong team.

And Germany proved this with a wave of five consecutive kills.

How can we end Germany's five consecutive kills? Only the golden generation. Furthermore, it is the second generation of the golden. Isn’t Xiao Kong Saisan the son of a member of the Golden Generation? Of course, the second generation of the golden players mentioned here refer to the second wave of golden players in Portugal's history. Looking at the current lineup of Portugal, its paper strength has even surpassed the 2000-year-old golden generation. Needless to say, B is the best, Vitinia has emerged in recent years. In addition, Mendes and Neves are also eye-catching. It is no exaggeration to say that Portugal is now not as strong as any European team.

Portugal has caused Germany to be abused for 25 years, and these 25 years are a pain period between the first and second generations of the golden generation. Although Portugal did win the only major championship in team history during this period, overall, their strength is not at the highest level. Every time they face Germany, they are beaten to death. This time, in this 2:1 European League match, Portugal announced that a new generation of golden generation has stepped onto the peak stage of Europe by ending Germany's winning streak against itself.

This team of Portugal has the strength to win the championship. Let's take a look at the UEFA League finals first.
