[Football] Crown of Thorns

Gama, who took advantage of the dead ball and ran to the sidelines to take a drink, wiped the water from the corner of his lips. He looked at his teammates who were about to serve, and quickly ran back to the court.

Alves threw the ball, and the football was thrown directly to Moutinho's feet. Moutinho took the ball and adjusted his kick slightly.

The trident of the Portuguese team rushed forward quickly, and the players of the Norwegian team also started to run.

After receiving the ball, Postiga did not stop the ball and made a cross pass in the air. Nani received the ball from the high-speed dash from the right and passed it back. Ball destruction.

The flying football fell backwards. Gama successfully dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area and then volleyed with his right foot to hit the goal. The ball was once again blocked by Norwegian defender Hogg with his thigh.

Jia Ma shook his hand, looked at the opponent's goal with some regret, and slowly backed away.

At this time, Portugal's attack started. In the 40th minute of the first half, it was Coentrao's assault on the left. The ball rushed to the top in front of the small penalty area. This powerful header hit the arm of Norwegian goalkeeper Yasten and bounced into the goal.

The goal was scored, 1 to 0, and the Portuguese team took the lead temporarily.

The audience cheered, and the fans of the home team chanted the slogan of 'Ronaldo' and 'There is only one Ronaldo', and the singing also sounded.

Ronaldo roared domineeringly with his signature gesture of celebration.

The teammates ran over and celebrated around him.

Jia Ma was still the last one to pass, touching his chin. Cohen was hugged by the captain and celebrated under the weight of teammates.

After the Portuguese players ended the celebration under the interference of the referee, Gama grabbed Cohen by the neck after the crowd dispersed.

"Don't think if you get an assist, I'll forget what you did."

"Xiko~~~"

Cohen blinked his eyes, trying to show off his cuteness to let Jia Maqiu let him go.

"If Princess Vitori did this, I won't say anything. As for you?"

Jia Ma glanced at Coentram's face with disdain, "You have such a messy and ugly face, don't show me how cute you are."

While talking, there was a burst of laughter behind the two of them.

As soon as Jia Ma turned his head, he saw the captain Ronaldo grinning.

"team leader!"

"Xiko, remember to notify me when Fabio treats you!"

"........."

The poor golden retriever stretched out his hand helplessly, but he could only see the cruel back of the captain.

Passing Veloso patted Cohen on the head, "I like the Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade the most, that's the one!"

Hearing the place Veloso had decided on, Gama let go of his hand calmly, "Let's go to this one!"

After saying that, he ran away with Veloso.

Only student Cohen, who was stunned, bit his finger and complained to Pepe who was passing by with a mournful face.

As a result, classmate Peipei whistled, "The one on Liberty Avenue, his AdLib restaurant serves Portuguese-style French food, which is super delicious," Master Pei puffed up his arms, "Don't tell me, you don't Plan to invite me!"

Cohen, who was 'threatened', left crying.

At this time, the first half of the game ended, and the players of both sides returned to the locker room one after another.

The news that Mr. Cohen is going to be a treat has already spread, or that the men gossip better than the women, it took only a while for the news to spread.

So Cohen saw his teammates laughing one by one and said, "Fabio, it's only a 5-minute drive from Rossio, the most famous area in the city center!"

"By the way, it's only a 10-minute walk from the Chiado shopping street."

Wait for such cruel words to come.

Cohen covered his face, why was he at the lowest level of the national team, and was bullied by his teammates like this, woo~~

In the end, the captain, Ronaldo, was more conscientious, "Okay, okay, just eat and eat at the AdLib restaurant, it's not easy for Fabio to earn a salary!"

…………

The teammates looked at Ronaldo silently, is this black or black?

Gama, who suppressed a smile, added solemnly, "That's right, the meal will cost more than 1 euros. It doesn't matter if Fabio is poor, we can't let our little princess Vitori suffer poorly!"

Hahahaha~~~

There was wild laughter in the locker room.

Enraged, Coentraan raised his middle finger at his teammates.

As a result, Bento, who entered the door, saw this movement, "Fabio?"

Coentraan withdrew his finger with a whoosh, "Sir!"

Looking at the players who were laughing wildly, Bento clapped his hands, "Now let me talk about the things to pay attention to in the second half..."

The second half of the game begins.

The Portuguese team, which entered the second half with a one-goal lead, did not relax its offensive and strengthened its offensive from the beginning.

Gama successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed the ball to Postiga. Postiga volleyed from the left side of the frontcourt, but Yasten fell to the ground and saved it.

"The goalkeeper of the Norwegian team today is very good!"

In the broadcast room, Perez laughed.

"It is true that the ball just now might have been scored under normal circumstances, but Yasten reacted very quickly and saved the ball."

Figo nodded.

"Look at this ball again!"

Perez yelled.

The Norwegian team's counterattack after taking the ball was interrupted in the middle. After a successful tackle, Veloso handed the ball to Meireles. He rushed forward, passed the opponent's two defenses, and then passed to the right.Nani on the right sweeps the ball with two consecutive feints and gets rid of the defense and makes a pass. Postiga falls to the ground in front of the small penalty area and shoots with his right foot!

Portugal leads 2-0.

The audience cheered.

Nani rushed over and hugged the excited Postiga. The excited Postiga ignored Nani's movements. He roared and ran frantically, punching again and again, his neck tensed, and the green sticks sprang up.

"Tsk tsk, Louis really..."

"what?"

Gama, who was talking to himself, was taken aback. He turned his head and saw that the captain Ronaldo had walked behind him.

"Nani is too thin."

Gama replied.

"You boy."

Ronaldo patted Gama on the shoulder with a smile, and looked at Postiga.

After the departure of the golden generation such as Figo and Rui Costa, in the period of the transition from old to new in Portuguese football, among the younger generation of players, the players who are unanimously favored by the Chinese are represented by Postiga, Ronaldo and Quaresma. Therefore, they are collectively called Portugal's "new golden generation" in China, but as time goes by, it seems that among them who are favored in the continuous competition test, except Ronaldo, they don't seem to have too many outstanding performances.

Ronaldo moved to Manchester United that year, and the 21-year-old Postiga also joined the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur from Porto for 2004 million pounds in 625, so fans and professionals who care about him have high hopes for Postiga. Postiga, who played 19 times in one season, only scored 1 goal for the team. The disappointed Tottenham management sent him back to Porto in a fit of anger. Afterwards, Postiga was ridiculed as the "No. [-] parallel importer in the Premier League". notoriety.

However, in the national team, Postiga played 21 times for the national team and scored 9 goals. He always stood up when the Portuguese team needed him, and made contributions to the Portuguese team several times when they were in crisis. Gained a reputation as a super substitute for the national team.

"Well, what I want to say is that Elder is actually quite handsome."

Gama changed the subject.

Ronaldo looked at him sideways, and Gama showed a 'pure' smile.

"Your boy is really getting worse and worse now."

Ronaldo patted him, turned and walked away.

"Captain, why don't you go celebrate?"

"No."

Looking at Ronaldo's back, Gama pouted, "Proud Cristiano."

With the Portuguese team leading [-]-[-], the Norwegian team stepped up their offense, but it didn't have much effect. Instead, the Portuguese team took advantage of their mistakes in the storm and counterattacked again and again. If it weren't for their goalkeeper Yasten to help , maybe conceded again.

After Postiga's hanging goal in the penalty area was caught by Yasten, he stared at the goalkeeper Yasten who was holding the ball and walked away disappointed.

Even Gama tried another shot, but this time his long-range shot from 30 meters away was too direct and was hugged by the goalkeeper.

The Norwegian team counterattacked in the 79th minute. The Norwegian player Abdelavi, who was replaced in the second half, managed to attack the Portuguese penalty area. As a result, he fell to the ground after making physical contact with Alves in the penalty area, but the referee did not penalty.This made the Norwegian players very angry.

However, the referee decided that this was just a reasonable collision and not a foul.

In the next few minutes, several attacks by the Norwegian team failed.

Then came the Portuguese attack.

Gama, who was holding the ball, noticed that the pace of his teammates had slowed down. He raised his arm to signal his teammates to pay attention to adjustments and make more passes.

Bento on the sidelines looked at his watch with a smile on his lips.

The assistant coach Victor standing next to him laughed, "Chiko is really good. He started to control the ball and adjust his rhythm, allowing his teammates to recover a little."

Bento smiled, "It's time to change."

"clear."

Victor ran over to let the players warm up. Bento folded his arms and smiled. It is really lucky to have such a smart and obedient core in the team. At this time, he is very grateful to his friend Ruy for the recommendation.

"Ready."

Victor came over.

"First replace Alves with Pereira, and then replace Coentrao with Rolando."

At this time on the field, Portugal's corner kick.

Nani, who was standing in the corner flag area, was about to take a corner kick. He took a left corner kick and drove directly to the front point.

Ronaldo flew to the top, but unfortunately the ball was too high.

The Portuguese team requested a substitution.

Knowing that this is the Portuguese team's way of delaying time, the Norwegian team has no choice but to watch the Portuguese team take advantage of one substitution opportunity to waste the game time.

Jia Ma glanced at the coach on the sidelines: Tsk, the coach is really good at playing!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Portugal beat Norway 2-0 at home.

All the Portuguese on the scene shouted crazily.

The Portuguese team lost the game 0-1 in the first round, and won this game 2-0. In this way, the two teams have a total of 10 points. Based on the goals scored by the two teams, Portugal surpassed Norway to become the No. [-] team in Group H. one.

At present, the qualifying form of Group H is very complicated. Portugal, Norway and Denmark have three teams with 10 points. Portugal ranks first because they have a slight advantage in each other's record. Therefore, the qualifying situation is still confusing.

If Portugal wants to qualify as the top of the group, the remaining 3 group matches will be decisive battles.

But no matter what, they already have a theoretical advantage, as long as they continue to win, they will definitely qualify.
