[Football] Crown of Thorns

In the early morning of September 9th, the second round of the 28-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage has all ended... In the second round of the UEFA Champions League Group F match, Arsenal beat Olympiacos 12-2 at home, and Chamberlain, who made his Champions League debut Opening the scoring... Dortmund lost 2-1 to Marseille in the away game, and Marseille topped Group F with two wins in a row... Also, in other group games, Ballack scored to help Leverkusen beat Genk, St. Petersburg Zenit beat Porto 0-3, while Shakhtar Donetsk was drawn by APOEL...

Despite losing to Marseille in the Champions League group stage, Dortmund's players didn't have much time to ruminate and flew back immediately after the game, because they had a league game to play on Saturday and there was no time to think about why they lost Because of the ball, it is the gentlemen of the coaching staff who need to carefully consider these tasks.

Of course, all the players still tried their best to show annoyed or unwilling expressions, after all, did they lose!

"madness!"

Gama watched the game at home on Saturday. Before the game, he had already contacted his teammates. Hearing the slogans of his teammates saying that he must win, Jiama couldn't help giving these stupid and cute The teammates came up with this definition.

Sure enough, in the 10th round of the league on October 1st, Dortmund played against Augsburg at home. Dortmund coach Mr. Klopp rotated the starting lineup in a large area, consisting of Felipe Santana, Gundogan, Bvaszczykowski With Perisic replacing Subotic, Kyle, Shinji Kagawa and Gross Kreuz, it seems that Klopp is dissatisfied with captain Kyle's successive mistakes on the field.

Because of Gama's injury, Agostinho has been in Germany recently. Although he said it was to take care of Gama, Gama knew that the fat man was definitely not only for his sponsorship contract. Well, he read it from the tabloids Here comes the tidbit about him picking up girls.

Qiongna, who was worried about Jia Ma, also stayed to take care of him. Jia Ma was very worried that when he recovered from his injury, he would probably weigh five or six catties more than before.

Watching the entire game live on local TV, Dortmund thrashed Augsburg 4-0 to take three points and move up to sixth in the league table.

For the next ten or so days, the league was suspended, and all schedules gave way to the game schedules of their respective national teams.

Gama was a little depressed, but fortunately he finally received good news - the final result of his head examination was released, and it was determined that he could resume training and basically meet the conditions for playing games, and sent the examination results to the national team doctor. , After serious inquiries by coach Bento and the team doctor, Gama can finally go out with the national team.

"At the end of the day, I still like the game the most."

Watching Joanna help him pack his luggage, Gama chatted with Veloso on the phone.

"Are you really all right?"

Veloso on the other end asked worriedly.

"It's all right, there's nothing wrong with it."

This time the national team's game against Iceland was held at the Porto Dragon Stadium in Portugal, so these Portuguese national team members who are abroad must rush back to China in advance to participate in joint training to prepare for the game.

After Gama carried his luggage and joined his teammates, he realized that there was another problem with their defense.

"Can't play?"

Gama, who was shocked by the news as soon as they met, widened his eyes, and his eyes swept back and forth between Pepe and Coentran.

"That's right," Pepe said calmly. Although both he and Cohen were injured and unable to play, the two returned together.

Jia Ma twitched his lips speechlessly, "Then what do you need?"

"Xiko~~"

The golden retriever blinked and looked aggrieved.

Jia Ma was a little irritable, "What about the defense? Although the two of you are always cheating, it's even worse without you!"

"Haha~~"

Veloso on the side couldn't help laughing anymore.

After touching his forehead and sighing, Gama put his head on Veloso's shoulder, "Damn it!"

Their No. [-] goalkeeper, Eduardo, was injured and could not play, so from a certain point of view, the Portuguese team's defense problem is quite serious.

"If it's a big deal, just score a goal!"

What someone said didn't matter.

Hehe~~Gamapiya, the defense is unreliable, the frontcourt is unreliable, these midfielders are really, going crazy.

Although the strength of the Iceland team is not strong, judging from the historical confrontation records of the two teams, the two sides have played against each other 3 times. Portugal has the absolute upper hand with 3 wins, 6 goals and 2 goals conceded, but football does not look like this, otherwise every time How did the underdogs and upsets in this game come about? The so-called strong team must win is bullshit.

小组赛踢到现在，葡萄牙队战绩为6战4胜1平1负积13分，以净胜球的优势力压丹麦和挪威居小组第一，而冰岛7战1胜1平5负积4分，位列小组第四。

"But in any case, winning the game is what we have to consider."

Before the game, Gama and Veloso, who failed to get the starting qualification and only entered the squad, said so.

"Makes sense."

Veloso agreed very seriously.

"Why do I hear Xiko's words full of murderous intent!"

Meirelles said.

Veloso turned his head and glanced at him, then, "Hehe~~~"

"Miguel, I warn you not to imitate Hiko's mistakes."

Meirelles shuddered with feigned trembling.

"Hehe~"

This is Gama's response.

So Meirelles yelled, "It's terrible, Shiko has gone crazy~~~"

Then he was grabbed by the neck by Jia Ma, with a gloomy expression on his face, "What did you say?"

Hearing the yelling here, the captain Ronaldo over there looked over calmly, then turned his head and ignored their nonsense.

"Captain, what's the matter, are you in a bad mood?"

Gama asked.

Don't look at Meireles, who doesn't play in La Liga, but is still very gossipy, winking at Gama, "Don't you know, nominate!"

"Oh~"

Gama understood. It should be nominated for this year's Golden Globe Awards. Although Ronaldo was nominated, judging from the current situation... Gama could only hehe.

C Ronaldo, who always strives to win all victories with a strong fighting spirit, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who never admits defeat, but there are some things that you cannot do without admitting defeat.

Thinking of this, Gama sighed, and then cheered up, "Speaking of which, I still have to celebrate, Jose, the 50th time!"

On October 10, Portugal's national team game against Iceland was Meireles' 7th appearance on behalf of the Portuguese team.

Hearing what Gama said, Meirelles laughed, "Well, thank you!"

"So we must win!"

Gama clenched his fist.

Seeing his excited look, Meirelles looked up at the sky, and then sighed.

On October 10, at the Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal, the 8th round of Group H of the 2012 European Cup qualifiers began.

The starting list of both sides:

Portugal (4-3-3): Goalkeeper: 12-Ruy

Defenders: 3-Pereira, 14-Rolando, 2-Alves, 4-Veloso

Avant-garde: 20-Martins, 16-Meireles, 8-Moutinho

Forwards: 17-Nani, 23-Postiga, 7-C Ronaldo;

Iceland (4-4-2): Goalkeeper: 12 - Magnussen

Defenders: 2-Josen, 3-Sevalson, 4-K-Sigoldson, 7-Gudmundsen

Avant-garde: 8-Brjansen, 13-Valgardson, 10-G-Sigurdson, 17-Gunnerson

Forwards: 19-Ghislason, 20-Hornason.

However, a few minutes after the start of the game, I don’t know whether it was because they were not used to it or both sides played a little cautiously. In the opening 5 minutes, the players on the field of Portugal and Iceland did not intend to attack after taking the ball on the field. The players kept turning their feet and feet again and again, and this dissipating atmosphere of the game caused boos from the fans in the stands.

Gama, who was sitting on the bench, looked back at the excited fans in the stands, and then looked back at the situation on the field, frowning slightly.

But soon there was a change on the court. With Iceland’s Gunnersson throwing a ball from the right sideline of the front court vigorously, Josen headed the ball in front of the goal. Rui flew and held the ball out with one hand. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In a blink of an eye, the two sides were in an offensive mode, and the Portuguese team's goal came very quickly.

In the 13th minute, Moutinho took a tactical corner kick on the left. Eliseu slanted in front of the goal from the corner of the penalty area.Portugal lead Iceland 1-0.

Standing up and applauding, Gama and the players around him excitedly watched Nani gallop across the court to celebrate.

The Iceland team, not to be outdone on the court, immediately played a wave of quite exquisite cooperation, but Sevarsson's final shot from a small angle went over the crossbar.

The opponent's strong counterattack made the Portuguese team's momentum high. In the 20th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo, who received a pass from his teammate, suddenly turned and shot at the top of the penalty area and hit the defender and popped out of the bottom line.

"Pity!"

Jia Ma clenched his fists and leaned forward nervously.

What is even more surprising is that in the 22nd minute, the captain of the Icelandic team, Jonsson, sent a very strange cross from the instep near the sideline of his own side. The ball just passed through the vacuum area between their goalkeeper and their central defender. Nani of the Portuguese team stepped in at the right time and hit the empty goal straight. '

2 to 0, the Manchester United wing scored twice.

Excited Nani celebrated with somersaults on the court before hugging his teammates.

"Dog S luck this kid, I rely on it!"

Jia Ma, who was full of envy and hatred because he couldn't play, made a face at the camera that swept over him.

Exaggerated laughter erupted from the audience.

I really want to play, I want to play.

Jia Ma pouted, cautiously thinking that if they didn't kick so smoothly, maybe the coach would let him kick up...

The golden retriever sitting in the stands behind the bench saw Gama's expression flashed in the live camera and said to Pepe, "That guy Xiko has a bad stomach, I'm sure he must be thinking bad things."

"Heh, if you have the ability, tell him in front of him!"

Master Pei is not fooled.

In the 27th minute, Portugal's counterattack, Ronaldo's left rib passed Jonson's back one-on-one, and his shot from the near corner was saved.

In the 30th minute, Nani made a cross from the right, and Ronaldo shot directly and released an outrageous anti-aircraft gun.

"The captain's feet are really inaccurate today."

Jia Ma muttered to his teammates beside him.

In the 31st minute, G. Sigurdsson passed through cleverly, and Bianasson made a low shot from the far corner.

In the 35th minute, Sevarsson tackled Ronaldo from behind, and the referee showed him a yellow card.

In the 39th minute, Martins took a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball hit Jonson and was hugged by Magnusson.

In the 39th minute, Patricio attacked and accidentally hit Rolando's head with his knee. The latter fell to the ground on the spot and was then helped to the sidelines for treatment.

In the 45th minute, Portugal made a cross from the right, and Postiga fell to the ground and shot the crossbar and bounced into the net, 3-0.

At the end of the first half, Portugal led 3-0.

"From the current situation, it is no longer a problem for the Portuguese team to win the game..."

"It seems that the Iceland team can't cause too much trouble for the Portugal team, so let's now look at another match in Group F, the match between Denmark and Cyprus..."

At the Dragon Stadium, the excited Portuguese fans sang and danced lively, and many people took advantage of the intermission to buy something to eat and drink or to solve their physical problems. The whole stadium exuded a sense of laxity after celebration.

Taking advantage of halftime, Jia Ma trotted back and forth on the sidelines to move his body.

Pulling his arms and raising his legs, Gama glanced back at the footage of the first half of the game that was constantly replayed on the big screen beside the court, and then sighed with a little resentment.

I really want to play!

I want to compete.
