football's most handsome

The last 7 minutes of time.

If Portugal and England did not make any big changes in the last 7 minutes, these 7 minutes will not change anything.

This stadium is only this big, and there are only so many people. Both sides have already undergone some substitutions, and they have also tried their best to come up with their final lineup.

Both Scolari and Eriksson had serious expressions on their faces.

Obviously, both of them remembered the scene when the two teams met in the European Cup in 04.

Penalty shootouts are not a good idea, especially for many Englishmen.They obviously have a midfielder, and Tun Sang also has a good penalty kick player, but they always fall in front of the penalty shootout.

No one knows why this is, it can only be said to be "the curse of England". At this time, many people also said that England is really lacking in forward talents, and they also lack a lot of offensive things.

Especially at this moment, Rooney has been off the field - he is England's new hope, the best of the England forwards.

It can be said that from the moment Rooney was sent off, England was in a more passive situation.

But this does not mean that England has no threat to Portugal.

England's Premier League defense is almost a big killer against Portugal, especially against those technical players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo. Although he is not as easy to fall as he was in 04, he is thin and even a little weak , The young man already has healthy muscles, which looks very exciting.

However, he is still a bit tired of dealing with the rough guys in the Premier League, even after he has played in the Premier League for two years.

The football was snatched from his feet again, and he staggered back to look at the England players.

Indeed, they were all familiar faces, some of them were his teammates, his big brother, but at this moment, the expressions on their faces didn't seem to be very good-looking.

- Cristiano knows why.

Because he signaled to the referee to send Rooney off, he will become a sinner of the British Empire.

He will also play for Manchester United next season. Thinking of this, Cristiano wants to scratch his head.

But no matter what, he just did what he should do. His Manchester United big brothers will definitely understand him after being angry for a while, and Lu Xiaopang will not be angry with him, after all, they are friends!

As for the rest of England... Fuck them, they are opponents in the national team, and many of them are sworn enemies when they return to the club!

Cristiano has no psychological burden at all, but he doesn't know that Rooney, who is off at this moment, is already worried about him to death.

——To be honest, Rooney was indeed very angry when he first left the field, but after calming down a little, Cristiano didn't seem to have done anything wrong. If he had to say it, maybe that blink was too angry?

What shall he do when he returns to England?There will definitely be a lot of people booing him, and the media won't let him go so easily... But with the boss around, these shouldn't be a problem!

Rooney was soon relieved, after all, he believed in Sir Alex the most, and he also knew that these things would never affect his relationship with Cristiano!

... But at the end of the game, no matter whether he wins or loses, he still has to remind this kid that he must be careful recently, so as not to be maliciously slandered.

Lu Xiaopang was very worried off the court, but at this moment, the two teams on the court also entered a short rest period.

The players of the two teams rested in place, and many of them would choose to wipe their sweat or drink water on the side of the court. Juan also returned to the side of the court, but he did not want to wipe his sweat or drink water. He was called back by Scolari.

"What's the matter, coach?" Juan was a little confused. After all, Scolari must have something to say when he suddenly called him over, but after Scolari called him over, he just stared at him, which made Juan a little uneasy.

Did he make a mistake on the court? ?

no……

"There are still 7 minutes," Scolari said slowly, "I know that time is very tight for us, so I want to ask your opinion..."

"?" Juan blinked, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's up to us to do something together," Scolari took a deep breath, "Juan, Figo and the Portuguese Football Association have all decided that you are the most qualified to be the next captain, and you are also the most qualified." Someone who deserves to be a leading figure in Portugal."

"...Coach, let's save this kind of praise for when we hold the cup." Juan patted Scolari on the shoulder with a helpless smile and turned his head to return to the court, but Scolari coughed lightly: "Unlimited firepower."

Juan's footsteps paused, and then he turned around: "What did you say?" "I said, I will give you unlimited fire rights." Scolari said very calmly, "I'm not crazy, and you didn't hear me wrong."

Juan took a deep breath: "There has never been such a saying in football."

The idea of ​​unlimited firepower is actually very popular in the basketball circle. For example, Jordan and Kobe, they all have "unlimited firepower" in the team, that is, all priority shots, Every opportunity to score goals was given to him alone.

In contrast, football rarely has such a statement. Ronaldo in his peak period can have such a statement-but it is only close.No team will limit the unlimited firepower to one person. Football is a sport of 11 people. Although there will be a lot of individual heroism, in most cases, football still depends on the cooperation with teammates. OK.

Juan frowned: "You might as well let one of the three forwards have such power."

"Who do you think is more suitable?" Scolari followed suit.

Juan was dumb, and after a long silence, he said: "The three of them are still very young and need opportunities."

"But what Portugal needs now is victory, and you are the only one who can bring victory on the court." Scolari patted him on the shoulder, "Do you remember the commercial we shot?"

The Portuguese team had an advertisement before the start of the World Cup. That advertisement told what happened after the Portuguese team won the world championship. At the beginning, it was the scene of everyone holding the trophy and singing and celebrating on the bus.

Juan coughed lightly: "Coach, I hadn't joined the team at that time."

His answer was very tactful, and it was easy to understand after a real-time translation - he hadn't joined the national team at that time, so he was not included in the filming crew...

Scolari coughed lightly: "That's a pity, I really want you to experience the feeling of holding a cup."

"Aren't we on our way?" Juan smiled.

This is the rare relaxed smile on Juan's face since the start of the game.Portugal did not play this game easily, in fact it was even very difficult.

They are not very good at dealing with the opposing defense, so football is frequently unable to control their own feet, but England's inability to attack allows Portugal to take advantage of it-England's close-range shots in front of the goal are not just one or two shots, but For this point, Juan is still very grateful for the accuracy of those people's feet.

……cough.

The game continues.

In the [-]st minute, England started their indiscriminate bombing as expected. However, although Portugal is said to be strong in offense and weak in defense, after all, there are still many first-class defensive players. Lunt's slider, Lunnon fell to the ground and raised his hand towards the referee.

The referee did not suspend the game, and at this moment the big screen on the court also showed that Valente had indeed shoveled the football first.

But England obviously didn't think so. Hargreaves was very dissatisfied. He shouted something at the referee. Judging from his expression and actions, it seemed that it was not a good thing. The look of the referee changed. He glanced at Hargreave. Reeves, in the face of the other party's sudden change of expression, pursed his lips and took out a yellow card from his pocket to signal him.

"Whoa, Hargreaves got a yellow card for protesting to the referee, England seems to be curbing their tantrums... if there is another man off the field in the 7 minutes, the extra time after that They won't be able to play."

Before the commentary finished speaking, the referee took out the yellow card that had just been put in his pocket, and raised it up to the innocent-looking Carvalho.

"Carvalho used an elbow when blocking Gary Neville. These two usually have a lot of grievances in the league. Who knows if they will bring their emotions to the national team game. gone?"

"In less than 2 minutes of overtime, the referee has already issued two yellow cards. It seems that the 7 minutes will not be so boring." The commentator laughed, but soon he couldn't laugh. Out.

—By the way, they are all people who think the game can go to overtime.

After all, with only 4 minutes left, what can the two teams do?

In fact, four to five minutes is already a long time in the team.

— Enough for two good offenses.

At the beginning, everyone didn't feel much. After all, Portugal and England still seemed to be entangled with each other. England couldn't break through Portugal's defense, and Portugal couldn't do anything about England's rough defense. Obviously, they all knew that if things went on like this It's useless even if it goes to overtime.

——In the end, it will definitely be a penalty shootout.

This kind of perception makes people a little irritable.

There are 4 minutes left in the game.

Portugal attacked again, Juan knocked directly to the left, Quaresma made a low shot with his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal and was hugged by Robinson. This goal made many England fans break out in a cold sweat.

"Don't score, don't score, don't score..." I don't know how many England fans began to have such a voice in their hearts. It's not that they are worrying, but at this moment, England seems to have reached a very dangerous situation.

For some reason, Portugal seems to have started their last performance. It is estimated that they don’t want to save their energy until the overtime. They run fast one by one. No matter how they look, they seem to be resolved in the next period of time. drop everything.

But what are they going to do?

One minute later, both of Terry's legs were cramped, and he immediately received emergency treatment from the team doctor. It can be said that this is also a very dangerous signal for England.

Their physical strength has reached a very dangerous level.

Eriksson was silent for a while, he decided to gamble in the last 3 minutes.

He chose the last substitution.

"Eriksen made a change!! Let's see who he wants to put on at the end... oh, Carragher, he puts Carragher on for Lennon, obviously at this point, our manager doesn't Thinking about the veteran who insisted on believing in himself, if he hadn't already known that he was alone now, he probably wouldn't have done such a thing."

Carragher was very nervous when he came on the field, because Eriksson gave him a request-to defend Juan.

Anyone can see that at this moment Portugal's midfield core has changed to another person, and that person's name is Juan Dias.

At the beginning, the emperor didn't feel anything at all. It wasn't until they discovered that Portugal had launched a strong attack for some reason, and the attack became very effective, that everyone realized that Portugal really wanted to solve the problem quickly.

"Juan Diaz seems to be not very optimistic about the situation on the pitch. He hastened the progress of the Portuguese team and also accelerated their physical consumption. IMHO they are like this in extra time. You will suffer a lot!!"

"I have a different idea... Do you think Juan Diaz is the kind of person who will suffer? Or, do you think he is the kind of person who will be crazy enough to ignore the way out?"

"I think it's actually okay? He usually looks very rational, but to be honest, if this person becomes crazy, he will still be crazy..."

"That's right, have you forgotten how we got the European Cup in 04?"

"Harbin Airlines, I don't think anyone will forget it... the whole team attacking together, the 1-1-8 lineup, it's still very funny when I think about it now!"

"Yeah, I suspect I watched a fake game at that time!"

"Juan was in command at that time, wasn't he? Now that everyone else is on the court, don't you think he must have thought of a crazy idea?"

"How crazy can it be?"

"Like... 0-0-10?"

"Ah ha ha……"

"I think he might come up with a quick counterattack. Isn't he always fast? And those in front are all his own players. Except for Cristiano, he will definitely be able to compete with Quaresma and Posti. Plus it produces a different chemical reaction!"

"...Wait, you are wrong to say that, aren't Valente, Maniche and Figo not Juan's own players?"

"Isn't Figo already off the field! And didn't Valente and Maniche have a great time working with Juan in the midfield?"

If Valente and Maniche heard this comment, they would probably roll their eyes at the speaker on the spot.

Happy to cooperate?

Who on earth could see that these few of them were cooperating?Obviously everyone is cooperating with Juan, okay? ?

When Deco took control of the team, Juan obeyed the command very quietly and ran unambiguously. This may make many people forget that he has an extraordinary aggressiveness on the court.

— especially in terms of offense.

"Dangerous!!" The commentator exclaimed, "Robinson made another contribution. He saved the football. It's a pity that the football returned to the field and the English didn't take the chance. The one who got the ball was Juan!"

When Juan took the ball, many people immediately tensed up, especially Carragher. After all, he was the only one in the team who came to defend Juan.

In fact, he thinks that Eriksson trusts him too much... After all, can he defend a midfielder like Juan Dias alone?Besides, he obviously didn't come here to do defense...

Although he also knows that putting a striker next to a midfielder can indeed suppress it to a certain extent-in this way, the opponent will pay attention to the existence of the tumbling, so they will start to seriously defend him, and it will also reduce the impact on the team. degree of control.

Many teams will deploy a sweeper-like person around their organizational midfielder. For example, there will be Gattuso around Pirlo in AC Milan. One of them is responsible for organizing and the other is responsible for cleaning up his surroundings. All of them, and this is the best match in many people's minds.

Unfortunately, Portugal does not have such a match.

They only have Juan Diaz. In the midfield, Deco and Maniche can partner with each other. However, Maniche is actually a defender with a knife. What if there is a ball at his feet?

Sorry, whoever you are, get out of the way immediately, don't hinder him from scoring!

For example, this time, Juan passed the ball to Valente, and Valente passed it to Maniche on the right side of the penalty area. Maniche did not see the surrounding people at all, and directly pushed a shot.

Fortunately, Maniche's feet don't seem to be very good today-this is the most gratifying thing for England fans. After all, England seems to have fallen into a downturn at this moment, and they suffer from goal fear. No matter how you shoot, the football will not be sent to the goal.

Since this is the case, isn't it the perfect situation as long as the opponent doesn't score?

Intersecting with the self-consolation of the England fans, the Portuguese fans on the other side are actually a little anxious.

They have clearly seen that the dawn of victory is ahead—although the two sides are clearly tied, but they still feel this way—but they just missed the goal. As long as there is one person who works a little harder, they will be able to Break out of such a strange cage!

There are still 2 minutes left in the game.

Juan took a deep breath.

Football has returned to his feet, Portugal has accepted the transfer order, and in the last 7 minutes, everyone gave him all the ball rights and let him choose to handle it.

He did indeed do a very good job, and even made England mess up several times, but he just didn't produce a goal.

This is not a very normal thing for him.

Of course Juan knew it too, so he took a deep breath and began to look for the main reason.

Is it because he is nervous?Are you restless?

Or had his desire to win become so strong that he lost his self-control?

No matter which point it is, it is obviously not good news for him, and he must adjust as soon as possible.

But Juan chose the simplest and rude adjustment method.

Carragher still followed him as if he wanted to cause some trouble to him, and Juan didn't look at him anymore-humans can't take the football from his feet, can they?

He made only one choice: raised his hand and made a gesture to all the Portuguese players.

Others looked at this gesture a little confused, but the Deportivo players all understood it.

This is an action that Juan Diaz made most often when he was on the edge of the court. Generally, after this action, either the opponent’s collapse is ushered in, or it is a direct action, which represents the last time of the team. burn one's boats.

--attack!

Needless to say, the players started running almost immediately. Figo was stunned for a moment when he first saw this movement, but when the players started running, he jumped up from his seat: "Wait , isn't it?!"

"What's the matter?" Scolari turned his head and asked. He didn't hold out much hope. After all, the game time has entered the countdown anyway. want to sigh.

——Overtime, it’s not easy to play.

"What's wrong..." Figo opened his mouth, and Scolari suddenly caught the dilation of his pupils, and then it seemed that the whole world began to shake.

Before Scolari could react, he was already overwhelmed by all the people around him. His players and coaching staff almost cried and hugged him, and one or two even started to cry. Scolari saw They were a little surprised when they were like this, but soon something flashed in his heart, and then his eyes widened.

"Wait...you get out of the way!!" He tried his best to push away the person blocking his view, and raised his head to look at the big screen.

At this moment, the big screen was showing the players celebrating excitedly. Scolari saw a person buried in the middle, but before he saw who it was, he heard cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"Juan! Juan! Juan!!"

Well, don't look at it.

Scolari smiled and continued to hug the surrounding coaching staff and players, and laughed.

He actually missed such a scene! !

It doesn't matter that Scolari missed the scene, there is still a replay on the big screen, and at this moment the commentary has already finished "Goooooal!", and he is spitting and shouting excitedly: "This goal is enough to go down in history!! It's almost countdown A wonderful performance like a lore! If none of us thought of it at the beginning, I guess we will still be very surprised when we look back now!"

"It all started with Juan Diaz making a gesture that we are familiar with, followed by a fast and smooth high-speed multiplayer pass, Juan, Valente, Maniche, Postiga, Quares Horse, and then the football fell to Cristiano's feet... everything is like a most elegant work of art! England's defense was played around by the four of them, and at the same time they ignored the defense of Cristiano. Honestly, if At this time, it doesn't matter if Cristiano shoots directly, after all, Robinson can't save this ball... However, he chose to cross Juan!"

"Great brotherhood, great Portugal, great Cristiano, great Juan Dias, great Portuguese players!!"

"We don't have to play extra time! Also we don't have to play penalty shootout!! With 20 seconds left in the game, Portugal successfully broke through with a score of 2-1 England and became one of the four teams!! In On July 7th, they will play against France to see who will be the one to reach the final!"

"Come on, our warriors, the Hercules Cup is just ahead!!"

Juan was really suppressed by a group of people this time, and he couldn't run away no matter how hard he ran, he was a little confused about this - didn't he just hug and celebrate with his teammates, why was he pushed down in a blink of an eye On the ground, then a group of people pressed up like this?But soon let go.

... Otherwise, is he going to piss himself off before being crushed to death?

When he got up at the end, Juan's hair was all messed up, and his footsteps were a little flimsy because he was caught off guard by the whole team. It was Cristiano who pulled him up.

"Juan, we did it!" Cristiano laughed, with a malicious expression on his face, "Hey Juan, you said that our current situation means that we are one step closer to our advertisement ?”

What he was talking about was naturally the ad about winning the World Cup and holding the Hercules Cup. Juan was helpless: "That's why I didn't participate in that ad..."

"Yeah, what a pity." Juan nodded at him, "So you must participate this time, right?"

"..." Juan's eyes changed when he looked at Cristiano.

"What?" Cristiano felt hairy when he saw it.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that you can think so far." Mingming winked at Rooney smugly when he sent Rooney off the field before, but when he thought of this, Juan paused and frowned: "Wait a minute Go talk to Rooney about the situation, you will still play football together next season, don't affect your relationship."

"Ah?" Cristiano was taken aback, and waved his hands carelessly, "There will be no problem!!"

"...That's good." Juan was a little worried, and he was already thinking about whether to beat Cristiano through the Neville brothers or Ferdinand.

Or talk to Sir Alex directly?

No matter how you look at it, this kid doesn't seem like the kind of person who can make people feel at ease...

To be honest, something happened in the last 20 seconds that shocked Portugal. They were indeed a little relaxed. After all, there are still 20 seconds left, how can there be problems?

As a result, Lampard and Gerrard came to a wonderful lightning raid with the ball, almost tying the score in the final time.

This impact almost stunned the Portuguese. Many players thought the game was over so they were relaxed all the time, and even started chatting. They failed to make any reaction when England rushed over!

Fortunately, there is Ricardo.

Portugal's goalkeeper is as reliable as ever. He almost jumped to the top and pushed the ball directly out of the goal. Although the ball landed in the penalty area, England still had a chance, but the time has come.

When the final whistle sounded, Cristiano and Juan glanced at each other, both of them felt like they had survived a catastrophe-it's not that they didn't react, but they didn't expect that England didn't give up, and it took 20 seconds. To try to fight it.

The two of them are still in the backcourt of England at the moment!

If it weren't for Ricardo's strength, Juan's effort for this goal would have been in vain...

Thinking of this, Cristiano felt a little sorry: "I'm sorry, Juan, if I hadn't been dragging you to talk..."

"What are you talking about?" Juan slapped the young man in the head, "Let's go, let's go back and celebrate!"

After a pause, Juan coughed lightly: "I know you don't drink much now... so, when you go out to play at night, you can do whatever you want, and I don't even notice, how about it?"

"Okay!!!" Cristiano immediately became excited - Hu Jian pretended not to see that he basically covered up their meaning, he can do whatever he wants!

He wants to play games all night! !I also want to play basketball and table tennis with my teammates! !

Juan didn't remind the young man that the two of them are not roommates, but he still rubbed his head: "Go, go back to the locker room."

"Wait Juan, I have someone who wants to exchange jerseys..." Cristiano coughed lightly, "But I guess the players in England don't want to see me very much now."

"Beckham?" Juan was very clear.

"Yes! So Juan..." Cristiano was a little embarrassed.

"Sorry," Juan patted his head and replied apologetically, "I have already made an agreement with Beckham to exchange jerseys."

"???" Cristiano opened his mouth wide.

At this moment, both Beckham and Rooney were waiting in the player tunnel.

Rooney was a little embarrassed—or, at this moment, he was almost in a cold sweat.

Why would his seniors be here? ?

To be honest, if Beckham is here, he doesn't know what to say to Cristiano later...

When he came to Manchester United, this person had been away for a year. It can be said that the two people have no intersection at all. Maybe the common topic is Ferguson?

But if you want to know this, you can go to the Neville brothers and Ferdinand to find out. Rooney, a young rookie, has no right to speak.

To his surprise, it was Beckham who spoke first: "Wayne, are you waiting for Ronaldo?"

"Uh..." Rooney rubbed his head, "Yeah, after all, something like that happened, I have to vaccinate him, otherwise if something goes wrong with him, Manchester United will wipe his ass... ..."

"Pfft." Beckham chuckled, as if thinking of something, Rooney was taken aback, but the former Manchester United senior glanced at him: "You love Manchester United very much."

"Yes." Rooney nodded seriously.

Beckham nodded and greeted the England players with only one sentence, hugging and licking each other's wounds - after all, he is still England's captain - leaving only Rooney to subconsciously touch Face.

Beckham said to him: "Come on, the future of Manchester United"?

He couldn't help laughing: "That's natural, I will do my best!"

Juan and Cristiano can be said to be the last to enter the player tunnel. Juan was a little afraid of being hugged by his teammates when he was outside-please allow him a little cleanliness, he really I can't bear it!

And Cristiano obviously wanted to claim credit for Juan: he passed the ball!

"Honestly, you all surprised me in this game, those who don't usually pass the ball, like Ricciardo, like Elder, and you, Cristiano...you really surprised me. "Juan imitated Scolari's tone and made Cristiano laugh: "Wait, wait! Will the coach really say that?"

"Of course, I understand him." Juan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Just wait and accept our coach's compliment when we go back!"

Cristiano chuckled, obviously impatient, but at this moment a voice stopped him.

"Cristiano!"

The two turned their heads at the same time, and then showed an indescribable expression at the same time.

Rooney and Beckham were guarding the two of them in the crowd passage.

Juan's strange expression was naturally due to Rooney. He never thought that Lu Xiaopang was really not angry at all as Cristiano said, and even poked his head and called him over. Obviously he had something to say, but still Very important things - such as the red card just now?

To be honest, it was beyond his expectation that this pair could be so harmonious, but considering the character of this young man, it is actually not difficult to find a true friend?

In contrast, Cristiano's expression was a little sad.

He wants Beckham's jersey.

Apparently the longing on his face had betrayed him, Beckham was so hairy when he looked at him, he thought there was something wrong with him, but soon Rooney pulled him away, and he heaved a sigh of relief and smiled wryly. Ask Juan: "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Juan replied with a smile, "He just really wants a piece of your jersey."

Beckham immediately said that he had a spare jersey in his locker room, and he would definitely give Cristiano one at that time!

"Then... Congratulations to Portugal." Beckham was a little helpless when he said this, but he was also relieved.

This year is also his last World Cup-in fact, not only him, but also the last for many people. The only lucky person is Zidane, who can go a long way.

But at that time, France will meet Portugal. I don't know if the French team can continue to be "lucky".

After all, there are some tough guys in Portugal, aren't there?

Juan and Beckham exchanged jerseys, and the two also hugged. Juan's expression became a little more relaxed when he let go.

why?

Because Beckham doesn't have the smell of post-workout sweat, he has a faint smell of men's perfume. This man has clearly never gone back to take a shower, and his jersey has not been changed since the game.

Juan didn't dislike such a man who was good at self-education.

"Actually, I have something quite important to talk to you about..." Beckham said casually, just hearing his tone didn't feel "important" at all, Juan paused: "What? "

To be honest, he was in a surprisingly good mood when Portugal won the game, and he was interested in whatever Beckham wanted to talk about.

Beckham coughed lightly: "First of all, I want to confirm, what is your position in Deportivo next season?"

"?" Juan blinked, "Probably the head coach?"

"...There is always something else." Beckham frowned.

"Okay, I'm not joking with you." Juan spread his hands, "As you can see, Deportivo is mine. I will coach when I have nothing to do. At the same time, I should also be a competent member of the team. A super substitute, stepping up to turn the tide in times of crisis... Ahem, it's just a joke."

To be honest, he is a little embarrassed to praise himself so much×

Hearing his answer, Beckham shook his head dumbfounded, paused before continuing: "Since that's the case, are you interested in me?"
