Deco obviously didn't expect him to ask such a question, but he smiled after being stunned for a while: "I have a little question, but now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't ask you...just ask him himself Better."

Juan understood: "You mean, Messi?"

Deco nodded and smiled wryly: "I'm just a little worried about this kid...you know."

Of course Juan knew that when Messi first arrived in Deportivo, both Ronaldinho and Deco called him in private, and some sneaked here to see him, so Juan It was clear what he was trying to say.

"But I didn't expect two Brazilians to get along so well with an Argentine." When he said this, Juan shook his head and laughed, "But I can understand it."

He is not qualified to express surprise to other people. After all, when he was in Deportivo, Messi still got along well with David Luiz and Kaka?

"Speaking of which, I just found a little excuse to provoke you to get angry so that I can show my strength, but I didn't expect you to be fooled." Deke said casually, frowning at the same time, "The competition in early June, I guess It will be the two of us taking turns, and Coach Scolari will not let us play together until the critical moment."

"I know this." Juan nodded, not caring about Deco's temptation to him at all-in fact, Deco's current attitude can already explain some things, especially during the game.At least he can think of using Rui Costa to run him, which is already very rare for a player like Deco.

"In the first game, I guess I will play first. In the second half, I should be rotated off, and you can go up and try." Deco analyzed, "Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that you may start directly. After all, the coach also said that you need a little time to get back to your state."

Juan nodded. In fact, he didn't know why Deco told him these things... After all, Scolari would also tell him these things.

After a pause, Deco continued: "I know you must be wondering why I said these words, but this matter must be coordinated by the two of us..."

Oh.

Juan understood—this could be regarded as a small test for Scolari, about the coexistence relationship between the two of them.

In fact, in the first half of the game, Deco had already shown with him what kind of power two people can have when they work together.

Most of the players on the opposite side are Portugal's main lineup, but when Juan lays the foundation stone for everyone in the back, Deco in front can easily dispatch the whole field.

These two players can be regarded as the players that Portugal has been lacking for a long time. Deco is okay. There was Rui Costa to make up for each other before, but Juan's position can really be said to be a blank area in Portugal for so many years.

There are a lot of things to do in the midfielder position. At the same time, it also requires excellent anticipation ability and a strong overall situation view. If it is done well, it will be the core of the team, and it can improve the team's aggressiveness by several levels; if it is not done well enough If it is good, the team's center of gravity and itself will become less stable, which will have a huge impact on the team.

Football is indeed an 11-man sport, but the existence of some excellent players is actually irreplaceable.

Deco had already expressed his thoughts, and Juan nodded after thinking for a while: "Yes, we can wait until we reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals."

Deco was stunned, and at the same time showed a dumbfounding expression: "The game hasn't started yet, why do you think we will definitely enter the semi-finals or the quarter-finals?"

Juan replied with a smile: "We can." Of course it is possible. This time Portugal is not weak. Although Rui Costa is missing, they can still win the World Cup No.4 by virtue of their own strength— —

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the consolation prize for the semi-finals.

The Hercules Cup gold, silver and bronze medals, only the gold medalist can lift the Hercules Cup, which symbolizes the first, and the silver and bronze medals only have one medal.

As for No.4?

Sorry, nothing.

Although it seems that it is not easy for Portugal to reach that step, Juan deeply knows that it is not only that.

It is a world without him, everyone can go to that point, what if he is there?

God, if his existence is to add a little change to the world, at least this time it will be the same as the European Cup, moving in a good direction!

So he expressed his confidence in the team in front of Deco so firmly, Deco was stunned for a while and then nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Apparently, Deco thought it was self-confidence, and the Portuguese-Brazilian’s personality is actually not lacking in funny parts, so he quickly showed a very caring expression: “So you don’t actually want to be with me. Shall I play with you?"

"Of course not!" Juan was stunned. "Why do you think so? I just think we need a secret weapon..."

"The Portuguese team already has quite a few secret weapons." Deco was speechless. "I think the Portuguese team has a secret weapon."

Juan smiled all over his face: “Isn’t this very good?”

Deco replied: "When the official competition comes, you will know whether it is good or not..."

Juan didn't understand this sentence at the beginning. After all, it's not good for everyone to keep a hand?But soon he understood the meaning of Deco's words.

On June 6th, the World Cup group stage was held in full swing, casting a layer of fanatical light on this midsummer.

Because the first game will be two days later, although the players of the Portuguese national team have already gathered in Cologne, Germany and even trained for several days, a group of them who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big things still wanted to sneak away to Munich. Watch the game.

——In the opening game of the World Cup group stage, Germany played against Costa Rica.

Fortunately, Scolari discovered the restlessness of these young men early on, and directly cut off this group of people who looked like they were going out for a walk casually at the door of the hotel.

"I knew you were going to run away." Scolari rubbed his temples, "Can't you just watch it at the hotel?"

"Of course!" The person who answered the loudest was Nani. He was the youngest in this group and also the one who was most afraid of Scolari. Only in him could Scolari feel The majesty of the head coach.

Scolari patted his head and looked up at them: "I know there must be Juan's problem... what about Juan?"

"I guess he has already gone out?" Cristiano said tremblingly, "He asked us to go together, and then said that he would meet us outside..."

Scolari slapped his head: "It's broken, this kid is going to run away?!"

"Who is going to run away?" A voice came from the door, Scolari looked back, and Juan came in from the outside.

His attire is also rare and casual, with casual attire, ponytail combed behind his head, a peaked cap, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses in a professional manner... But apparently his so-called disguise is not actually What's the use, because the screams outside have been going on for a long time, and there is a tendency to intensify, and it is obvious who he is already found out.

If it weren't for the security guards outside, it is estimated that Juan himself might not have been able to walk in so intact.

"Juan!" "Juan, I'm sorry..." "We were stopped!" Several people expressed their apologies one after another, and Juan waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay, I couldn't go out either. I was stopped."

Originally, he wanted to repeat the same tricks, but obviously, he in 06 was much more eye-catching than he was in 04, and after these two years, both media reporters and fans have been investigating and counter-detecting There has been considerable progress in the field, and it is obviously impossible for Juan to use the previous method to fumble out like this.

Juan also tried a lot of methods. After being 100% sure that he would be photographed when he went out, he simply gave up and turned around.

Sure enough, as he expected, Scolari has already blocked a group of people, and it seems that he is going to arrest him later?

Scolari looked at him, then at the flashing spotlight outside the glass window: "What's going on outside?"

"Probably a fan of the national team." Juan's answer was very casual.

"..." Scolari had an expression of "Don't fool me", "Those people outside are calling your name."

"It's probably because I just went out." Juan didn't change his face, "Since we can't go out now, how about finding a lobby?"

"The hall is ready." Scolari sighed. "Do you think I don't know that you are going to watch the game?"

At this time, everyone is actually resting in the room. After all, there is still a period of time before the start of the game. Only Scolari went to block people at the door with foresight... To be honest, if this group of youngsters sneaked out to watch the game, he would It will be a headache!

They really look like they are just going out for a walk, especially Juan, this light and simple look is simply too rare-except for this thing on the court, as long as it is any public place They will all be dressed very formally, so such an abnormal outfit can obviously show that there is indeed something tricky in it...

"Besides, how can you still have tickets to go there now?" Scolari is very puzzled, why is Juan so confident that he can go to Munich to watch the game now... You know, it is impossible to have anything at this time Scalpers, there are at most two hours before the start of the game, and they can't catch up.

Juan replied: "Otto said he has a box, we can squeeze in..."

"Otto?" Scolari was taken aback, "Which Otto?"

"The Greek team." Juan showed a bright smile at him, "Otto Rehhagel."

"Oh...he!" Scolari remembered instantly, "You guys know each other well?"

"It's not very close, but we... I mean, he introduced me to Ozil from Deportivo." Juan replied with a shrug, completely ignoring the fact that he was the first to ask for Ozil. Zill Address Facts.

"I see." Scolari nodded, "I must be thankful again that I stopped you from going there..."

A group of players from the Portuguese national team and the head coach of the Greek team sat in a box to watch the game?The picture was so beautiful that Scolari couldn't imagine it at all.

"I'm glad too," Juan nodded, and under Scolari's astonished gaze, he continued, "If we really all ran out, it is estimated that no one will play in the Portuguese team in a few days."

He apologized half-seriously and half-jokingly. After all, he also knows the rules of the national team - if he goes out without authorization, he will be punished. He can go out alone, and he doesn't know how long his national team career will last. For a day, there is no psychological burden, but those cubs are different.

"You let me catch you on purpose?" Scolari was a little surprised now.

Juan responded with a smile and hiss gesture, looking ahead.

Scolari followed his gaze and saw that the boys in front were a little sluggish. Although they were not very excited, they soon regained their vitality and began to joke with each other.

"If you tell them the truth, they're going to want to beat me up?" Juan narrowed his eyes and smiled, and Scolari glanced at him.

Even though he said such words, he looked very interested.But after thinking about it for a while, I can understand that it's really interesting that these bastards want to hit people, but they can only stare and jump because of force and deterrence!

Scolari felt that it was better not to satisfy this kid's bad taste...

The fact that they wanted to sneak out to watch the game was soon known by the bosses in the team. Cristiano was the most unlucky. He shared a room with Figo. The young general was dumbfounded.

The other few didn't have a good time either. They were sued by their seniors with reasons such as "you actually wanted to go out" and "you sneaked away and didn't take me". They were stunned, and only Nani escaped. After all—he lived with Juan, didn't he?

He has never been so grateful for a moment that his roommate is Juan, especially after he has eaten a delicious meal, showered and chatted happily with Juan for a while, and after going out, he sees that there is nothing but him and Juan. When all the people outside were crying and mourning...

Of course, Juan could feel Nani's grateful eyes, he turned his head and smiled at him, Han said it was self-evident - don't be afraid, I'm covering you boy!

Cristiano wanted to cry very much. You must know that he was the one who was taken care of in the past!As a result, a smaller Nani himself will not be able to enjoy the benefits of being covered by Juan...

Cristiano's resentment is really deep, so at the beginning of the game, he complained directly: "Germany is really shameless, they arranged a weak team for themselves from the beginning!"

Scolari coughed lightly.

The members of the coaching staff also felt uncomfortable in their throats.

The leaders of the national team even looked a little unnatural. Figo even wanted to reach out and pat him on the head: "Just watch the game carefully, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"No, isn't it like this?" Cristiano's eyes widened. "The German team is just for a good start. It's too much, and it's not fair to the Costa Rica team!"

"Cristiano." Juan couldn't stand it anymore, "What kind of team do you think Greece is?"

"Greece?" Cristiano was taken aback, apparently he didn't expect Juan to ask such a question suddenly, "I think it's very strong, especially in the European Cup final, if we didn't take it by surprise, the winners would be I don't know who it is..."

"Really." Juan was rather persuasive, "Then what do you think, why did we choose Greece as the opening match of that European Cup?"

"I... don't know, but didn't we also win that game?" Cristiano was a little dazed.

Juan asked: "Then before the European Cup, do you think the Greek team is a strong team?"

Cristiano understood: "You mean, in fact, we also picked a soft persimmon as a good start in that European Cup?"

"It was a good start that almost capsized in the gutter." Scolari felt a little funny when he thought of the scene at that time. "At that time, none of us knew that Greece was not such an easy team to deal with."

Cristiano nodded half-understood, and then asked: "Will Costa Rica be the second Greece?"

"No." He answered very simply.

"why?"

Juan laughed: "Not every head coach is Otto the Great."

Rehhagel's coaching ability is indeed obvious to all. This is a head coach who is good at creating miracles. If everyone can achieve his achievements, he will not be called "Otto the Great" by others.

"And Costa Rica is not a weak team...or in other words, none of the teams that can enter the group stage is a weak team." Juan laughed, "And their coach Guimaraes is not a good one. , this is the game the DFB wants to see."

"What?" Nani was taken aback, "Isn't the game you want to see won the game like cutting melons and vegetables?"

"Of course not," Juan patiently explained before the two teams played, "Generally speaking, when an international competition is held, the first game is the host's game. In this game, both To show the strength of the host country, it is also necessary to give the opposing team some face, so in the arrangement of the game, it will definitely favor a strong but not so strong opponent."

"It means that you are sure to win but it doesn't look like you won such an easy opponent?" Nani's eyes widened. "But isn't this a group drawn by a fair lottery?"

"The game will be exciting only when there is back and forth, one-sided massacre or dry show off will do more harm than good." Juan twitched his lips, "As for the fair draw...you guess?"

Nani opened his mouth wide, looking like he was struck by lightning. It seemed that Juan's words refreshed his worldview. Juan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry for breaking your wonderful world."

"It's okay..." Nani replied subconsciously, but he still blinked, "At least it will definitely change in the future, right?"

After being silent for a while, Juan smiled back at him: "Yes."

Nani's expression became more relaxed, and this still childish face became full of vigor in an instant, and he and Cristiano started to complain about the game in Germany in a low voice, without caring about others host status.

Or in fact, they are complaining about the identity of the host?

"Costa Rica will not become the second Greece, is this your opinion?" Scolari sat beside Juan and asked softly.

Juan nodded: "They are different from Greece. It can be said that Greece has been firmly implementing Rehhagel's strategic indicators since the qualifiers, while Costa Rica almost couldn't even participate in the World Cup. It stumbled up after changing a coach halfway through. ... If I were the German team, I would be the first to attack this product." Although the first game requires excitement and evenness, the premise of everything is one word-"stable win".

For example, when Portugal hosted the European Cup, the opening match almost fell on the Greek team, and the German team would naturally be more cautious in choosing opponents.

"The host has found a 'good' opponent for themselves." Scolari nodded in agreement, "Most of the German players have played in their own leagues, but in recent years, except for Bayern Munich, all other teams It seems to be a failure in the major competitions, whether it is the Champions League or the Europa League."

After a pause, Scolari suddenly thought of something and asked, "I remember that you seemed to have played against Bayern Munich?"

"Yes." Juan became serious, "Kahn, Ram, Schweinsteiger and Ballack all left a deep impression on me...they are not easy opponents, really We'd have a headache."

Scolari nodded silently. Of course he understood what Juan meant. Portugal is very confident in field control and attack power, but there is a world-class goalkeeper on the opposite side, as well as excellent defenders.

If Portugal's attack is contained, and then the opponent carries their attack to fight back, Portugal will be a real headache here.

"At least we don't need to worry about the group stage." Scolari was very relaxed, "And even if we meet Germany, don't we still have you?"

"What can I do?" Juan was speechless. "Football is a game of eleven."

"But sometimes, heroes are needed to affect the overall situation." Scolari looked over with deep meaning, but soon he showed a bright smile, "I tell you quietly, not only you, every Portuguese Everyone kept a hand."

"I know." Juan nodded, "Deco has already told me."

Scolari smiled all over his face: "Just wait and see."
