[Football] Crown of Thorns

The league wars ignited, but the August league schedule is basically once a week, and the players are not very hard.

Gama looked at the schedule. They still have three games in August, and then the national team match day. The Portuguese national team will continue their journey in Group H of the European preliminaries.

After the first round, Gama thought about it and called his national team captain.

The start of La Liga itself is a few days later than the Bundesliga, and Real Madrid's first game of the new season has applied for a postponement because of the national derby in the Spanish Super Cup. The first round of the Super Bowl.

"Captain, how are you doing?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Gama asked.

As a result, there was a somewhat unfamiliar Portuguese response from the other end, "Shiko?"

"Uh...you are?"

Not the captain?

Jia Ma was stunned for a moment, "Excuse me..."

"Hi, I'm Kaka!"

"Ugh! Kaka!!!" Gama yelled in surprise, "Kaka? Kaka!!!"

At this time, the person on the other end of the phone changed, and it was probably just right when he heard Xiko yelling. Mr. Ronaldo smiled, "Kaka or something, Kaka, who is your name?"

"Uh?"

Jia Ma was dumbfounded, and after a daze, he unconsciously asked, "Captain, why is Kaka holding your phone?"

As a result, he heard the voice of his team leader on the other end of the phone who seemed to be choked-is his question strange?

"I was not here just now, did Kaka just pick it up when he saw it!"

Ronaldo replied in a somewhat awkward tone.

Jia Ma is a bit strange. Foreigners always pay attention to privacy and will not answer the phone for friends casually-only family members may be so casual!

But he quickly put aside this small question, "Captain, you and Kaka have a really good relationship!"

He said this with emotion.

However, there was a strange silence on the opposite side of Ronaldo - "Hey, captain, did you hear that, the signal is not good?"

Gama's muttering voice broke the deadlock, and Ronaldo on the other end smiled, "Shiko, you played well in the first game!"

"Captain, you watched my game," Gama said happily, and after unknowingly chatting about a bunch of questions about the game, Gama finally realized, "Captain, I didn't bother you, did I?"

Now it is around [-]pm in Germany time, there is no time difference between Spain and Germany, so it is also [-]pm over there, and the captain is still with his teammates. Could it be that he is still training?I have long known that the captain is a training madman, so is Kaka?

"No, today's training ended very early!"

After Ronaldo answered, Gama, who had sharp ears, heard someone laughing on the phone.

"Oh, there's a party!"

I heard that the players like to play, and his captain is also a lively person. Maybe there is a party today?

As Jia Ma thought about it, he couldn't help being a little envious of the captain's popularity. He heard that the captain's house often had all kinds of lively parties, which must be fun.

Jia Ma didn't notice the slight embarrassment in his captain's echo, as well as the faint laughter.

In the end, Gama still talked about why he called, that is, about the match of the Portuguese national team on September 9.

Speaking of this, Ronaldo's tone became very normal, "Although we played very badly in the first match against Cyprus (Gama interjected: That game was too embarrassing, please don't mention it~~Captain!), haha, what does it matter? , it’s good to win this time!”

The two talked for a while before hanging up the phone.

Jia Ma blushed when he hung up the phone, he seemed to be becoming more and more naive now, what a shame!

And in Madrid, Ronaldo, who was shirtless and only wrapped in a towel around his waist, complained to someone, "Why are you laughing, what's so funny?"

Someone who answered his call before him and kept harassing him during the process of answering the call, "I just think that you are a good captain."

"So, hey...can you please stop smiling like that and making obscene gestures..."

"What smile?"

"Uh, bastard..."

"Actually, I just wanted to do that."

"...F**k!!!"

…………

A certain captain spent a spring night with someone doing incongruous 'night training'.

Gama, who didn't know the story on the other end, happily listened to the music and did another two hours of evening training before going to bed.

However, Dortmund did not play well in the next second round of the league, which made Gama very depressed.

On August 8, Hoffenheim played against Dortmund.

Dortmund, who went to an away game, lost to their opponent Hoffenheim 0-1 and received their first defeat in the new season.

Statistics after the game showed that Dortmund shot 11 times and 7 shots were on target, but none of them scored.

What is the most embarrassing thing in the game is that you have the upper hand but you can't score no matter how hard you shoot.

Gama kicked five set kicks in this game, but failed to score any of them, which can be regarded as a new record for not scoring since he played set kicks on the court.

Gama: Damn, who the hell wants such a record!

Of course, the most depressed person is Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller. In the 9th minute of the game, Hoffenheim's set-piece expert Salihovic scored a free kick with his left foot 33 meters from the right rib. The ball went over the wall and hit the goal. In the upper left corner, poor Weidenfeller could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the goal and he fell in front of the goal beyond his reach.

This one goal was scored in the whole game, yes, this one.

After the game, Klopp looked at his disciples and shook his head helplessly.

That's what football matches are about. Superior strength doesn't mean you can win the game. This is football.

A week later, in the third round of the league, Dortmund played against Nuremberg at home.

The game was nothing new, and the best thing to say was that their two main defenders Subotic and Schmelzer returned to the starting lineup from injury.

In addition, Nuremberg replaced a young goalkeeper. The 18-year-old Rakovsky replaced the injured main goalkeeper R. Schaefer and made his Bundesliga debut.

"Hey," Gama put his arm around Gotze's shoulders before the game, "I heard that the young man is the goalkeeper of your national youth team."

"That's right!"

"Hehe~"

"Hey, what are you thinking, you have a sinister smile on your face."

"I just wondered if he met us in the first match, would it hit him too hard!"

"...You really overthink Shiko!"

…………

"You did it on purpose, Shiko!"

After the game, Gotze snapped his teeth at Gama.

In this game, Gotze assisted Lewandowski to score a goal.Gama assisted Gross Kreutz to score a goal.

Of course, the point is that Gama scored two out of three set-pieces.

Dortmund beat their opponents 4-0 at home.

"What are you talking about, I don't understand!"

"Bastard Xico!!!"

"Hehe~~~"

For you German football, I really envy, envy and hate, little fat man!

So what if I bully the newcomer a bit! ! !

…………

…………

The 4th round of the league is another away game. There is nothing special about the game. The only thing worth mentioning is probably Ge Xiaopang's red card!

"Asshole, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!!!"

Gotze was crying and howling in the locker room.

In this game, both sides scored one goal each and it was a tie, and then both sides also sent off one person, which was also a tie.

"Are you a fool!"

Feller patted Ge Xiaopang on the head speechlessly.

It was Baylic of the Leverkusen team who tackled Gotze from the rear. The opponent fouled. As a result, Gotze tripped his opponent when he was angry. , Gotze's approach naturally received a red card for him to leave immediately.

"As I said before the game, Stark, the referee of today's game, is a referee known for his harsh punishments. In the end, you still..."

Captain Kyle sighed, "Remember to talk to Mr., apologizing or something, you know!"

So when the poor Ge Xiaoce went to talk to the coach the next day in dejection, the teammates on the training field began to discuss what kind of punishment the team would give Ge Xiaoce.

"One week of salary penalty is certain."

Weidenfeller concluded immediately.

"I think it's a fortnight's salary."

"Then there are laps, how about thirty laps?"

"It's too ruthless!"

"That's to clean everyone's sneakers?"

"Don't be kidding, our sneakers are in charge, okay?"

"That's why it's called punishment~~"

"Let him dance in a maid costume?"

"Hey, can you still watch it~~~"

…………

…………

The discussion here is in full swing, and Ge Xiaoce, who was lightly let go by the coach over there, just ran back to the sideline with a smile, and heard his teammates discussing from how the team punished him to how to let him do all kinds of coolies 'The research was done.

"You bastards, I will never forgive you!!!"

Ge Xiaoce rushed over like a cannonball and threw himself on the back of the deputy team, yelling loudly.

"Deserved!"

"That's right!"

"You ask for it!"

"You big villains, ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Hahaha~~~

………………

After the game on the 27th, Gama flew directly to Cyprus on the 29th to meet with the national team, preparing for the upcoming sixth round of Group H of the 2012 European Cup qualifiers - the players played in different clubs in different leagues, It is inconvenient to fly over after returning home, so the national team directly let players from different countries fly directly to the competition venue, where they meet at the training venue they rented.

In the first round of the Group H match, the Portuguese national team scored 4 goals at home against Cyprus, which became a great shame for the Portuguese team. In this game, the whole country unanimously advocated that they should get rid of the shame, not only to win the game but also to get more goal difference. , to prepare for the competition for the first place in the group.

Now in Group H, Portugal, Norway and Denmark have three teams with 10 points. Although the Portuguese team temporarily ranks first due to their mutual records, Portugal and Denmark have another match in the final round of the group stage, so the situation of qualifying is still uncertain. confusing.If the Portuguese team wants to qualify for the top spot in the group, the remaining 3 group matches will be decisive battles.

这场比赛之前，葡萄牙和塞浦路斯在正式比赛中交手过9次，葡萄牙8胜1平进27球丢6球，唯一的一场平局就是去年9月双方在预选赛中的交手，双方上演了一场进球大战以4比4打平。

"The national team's shameful battle!"

"Only a big victory can avenge shame!"

"Must win!!!"

The Portuguese domestic media have played various slogans, encouraging or even demanding that the national team must win a big victory! ! !

Gama: Hehe!
