In the end, after conceding a goal first, with Ronaldo scoring twice, the Portuguese team scored 17 goals. 2 defeated the Dutch team and joined hands with the German team, which also defeated the Danish team.

It is said that if you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

In this game, both teams have to face a mountain of pressure. If it is said that the Dutch team, which has basically been eliminated, has to face great pressure, then Ronaldo of the Portuguese team can be said to be almost responsible for the entire team. As the most famous player in this European Championship and the biggest star in football today, Ronaldo has almost become a "public enemy" since the start of the game. Except that the opponents will use various psychological warfare to attack him, the media and Fans also dislike him for various reasons. In this game, Ronaldo of the Portuguese team proved that he is not the king of shots with two goals in a row. He proved himself by scoring goals to relieve pressure.

In the whole game, C Ronaldo shot up to 10 times, nearly half of the team, shot as many as 5 times, and had 2 shots on the center post.If it weren't for luck, Ronaldo might have staged a hat-trick.More importantly, compared to the past, C Ronaldo, who has settled down after calm thinking, began to play the role of the soul of the team in the game.In the game, he no longer fights alone, but will cooperate with his teammates Gama, Nani, Coentrao, Pepe and others.

Ronaldo, who was in the mixed interview area after the game, replied after being asked about the feeling of the game: "The credit belongs to the whole team. Without teammates, we can't qualify."

Portuguese coach Paulo Bento, who attended the post-match press conference, praised Ronaldo's performance.

When asked by reporters about his views on the just-concluded group stage journey, Bento said: "I am very satisfied with the team's performance, I have successfully completed our goals, we are a great, united group , In the past three group matches, I think my players have performed the best." Obviously, leading the team to qualify smoothly made Bento very happy, "We are a group, we have our own ideas, but we also have players who can put them into practice."

When the reporters asked about C Ronaldo's performance, Bento said: "I don't think it is necessary to discuss this now. I am proud that we are a team. His two goals are very important and reflect his strength. value."

It seems that Bento thinks Ronaldo is a player who can be proud of.

Regarding the performance of other players, Bento said: "The players did what they should do according to the deployment of the coaching staff. Everyone performed very well. Of course, the performance in the first 12 minutes of today's game was not good enough, but the team has always Staying true to our spirit is something we can be proud of."

After the Portuguese team qualified in the group, they will face the former champion Czech team in the quarter-finals. Regarding future games, Bento said: "Yes, we will play against the Czech team. It will be a very difficult game. But we're looking forward to what's going to happen in the game."

While the Portuguese team was excitedly celebrating the goal of successfully qualifying, the Dutch team, which had already been eliminated, broke the big news.

The so-called wave of unrest and another wave, after the Dutch team was almost disgracefully eliminated, the Dutch media broke the news that Robben directly disrespected the coach Van Marwijk during the game, and Peter Pan was blocked by reporters after the game During the interview in the interview area, he also directly criticized Van Persie by name, thinking that he did not dare to take on his responsibilities.

Just like the gossip that Furtado told Gama and the others during the intermission, the media unceremoniously exposed that during the match between the Dutch team and the Portuguese team, when the Dutch coach Van Marwijk asked Robben to withdraw and defend, Robben On the field, he even yelled at Van Marwijk several times in a row, "Shut up!"

From the interview video, it can be seen that in the interview after the game, Robben criticized several teammates including Van Persie for not being willing to stand in front of the camera and take responsibility for the team's exit.

"...I would rather sit on the bus now, but I'm still here to accept your interviews because it's part of the job." When talking about the game, Robben also said: "It's a bit inexplicable, because at the beginning of the game we Scored early, was in a good position, but I don't know what caused it, and in the end we didn't win the game, it was really strange... Except we started off well and then it was really bad, of course we It really didn't fit together, I mean the coaching staff, the players, the whole team. It's a harsh reality in the sports world. So each of us has to reflect. Something happened inside the team, of course It's an internal issue among the players and we should deal with it internally, but believe me, we all tried our best and it just didn't work..."

Afterwards, foreign fans broke the news that Robben and Van Persie even had a fierce conflict after the game, but this news has not been confirmed by the Dutch official media.

Gama, who has completely turned into a gossip man, watched the follow-up of the series of gossip reports after the game with interest. Veloso and Furtado sat beside him helplessly and set him up at the dining table. Meals served on the side.

"Xiko, you are really getting more and more down-to-earth."

Veloso took a sip of water and said with a sigh.

Furtado burst out laughing, and sprayed out all the fruit pieces in his mouth.

"Ann, you are so disgusting."

Veloso stared accusingly, pulled the napkin and wiped the tabletop sprayed by Furtado.

"No, no," Furtado looked up with a smile, "The first time I knew about Chico was Mr. Crudo of the National Youth Team. He told me that he had recruited a new player and said It was to let me take care of it, and then I went to search for some news about Xiko..."

The three were sitting in the same row. At this moment Ronaldo came over and sat down. When he sat down, Coentrao and Pepe also sat on both sides of him. The six seats were just packed.

This is the morning after the game, and the coach gave everyone a day off, so many players haven't woken up yet, and there are not many people in the team restaurant.

But this table was suddenly full of people.

"Why are you so happy?"

Ronaldo seemed to be in a very good mood. He ate a small piece of fish on the plate and asked.

Gama, who had switched off his phone and was eating, had already been sold by Veloso before he said anything, "Ann is talking about Xiko's gossip back then."

Hearing Furtado gossip about Gama, the six ears of the three people on the opposite side all perked up.

"Hello!"

Gama is protesting.

Furtado indifferently forked a piece of fruit on the plate in front of Gama and took a bite, "It's just that Gama has just joined the National Youth Team. The first time I saw him was when he was on a TV show..."

Then he talked about how Jia Ma became a flower in the National Youth Team - all nonsense and no truth, Jia Ma commented.

"...Now, tsk tsk, my Xiko is getting more and more down-to-earth, listening to gossip and watching gossip is almost as good as acting in person~~"

Futaduo shook his head while talking, sighing with emotion.

The few sitting there were all amused by his adjectives and laughed.

Jia Ma, who had no chance to intervene, could only bite off the small tomato viciously, and then took another bite of the cabbage leaf... I am almost like a sheep, eating grass!

However, listening to his teammates talk about these seemingly true and false gossips, Jia Ma also found it very interesting. Although it has only been two years, he has grown from a rookie who first entered the national team to the current core third captain of the team. , not only his status in the team has changed, but also his mentality has changed a lot. It is no wonder that Furtado will speak plausibly about his changes-he has indeed changed a lot...

The six people gossiped while having breakfast, and the few who were full and satisfied with the listening turned up their phones again, mainly to read various news.

"Tsk tsk, the latest betting odds are also out."

Coentram said.

"Hey!"

Gama yelled.

Coentram smiled, "I didn't gamble, I just took a look."

"Gambling is not a good thing."

Gama still frowned.

"Everyone just took a look to join in the fun. The teammates made a few small bets and didn't go out to gamble."

Pepe said reassuringly.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. You forget that FIFA and UEFA are very strict about player gambling. If caught, they will be severely fined."

Veloso pushed Gama and said so.

Uh, by the way, he forgot about that.

Gama smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry Fabio, I overreacted."

In his memory, the players over there gambled a lot, and many players even participated in match-fixing because of this...

Coentraang smiled brightly, "I know, I sometimes make bets with my teammates for fun, and I won't participate in the outside ones."

In fact, some of the players have a considerable gambling addiction. After all, the gambling industry and the gambling industry are legal in Europe, just like the Premier League. Many people often go to the casino to play a few games. Directly investing in a casino as an owner - like a certain golden boy from the Premier League...

"That's good."

Gama smiled.

Seeing Jia Ma's reaction, the other people winked, but they felt closer to Jia Ma.

Ronaldo: Chico is indeed a good boy.

Master Pei: Honest boy.

Coentram: Well, although he is narrow-minded, he is a good person.

Veloso: Chico is indeed a good friend.

Furtado: The wicked Xiko is actually a good person!

Jia Ma: ... Don't think that you winked and laughed at me and pretended that I didn't notice that a group of bastards are looking for a chance to kill you!

Tianyin: Nobody loves a narrow-minded man!Tut tut!

…………

The European Cup kicked off in 2012, and European bookmakers recently issued the latest winning odds. Spain and Germany, the champions and runners-up of the last European Cup, became the biggest favorites. All the matches in the Group B group stage ended, the Netherlands lost all three games, and Germany and Portugal both won and entered the quarterfinals.The German team overtook Spain at 1 to 3.20 and ranked first again. Portugal was also favored by bookmakers, with 1 to 8.00 to rank third.

"Unexpectedly, our odds of winning the championship are not low!"

"Germany is number one."

"But I still think Spain is more likely."

"I think it's Germany..."

Boring people started again.

"Xiko, tell me, which one do you like?"

Veloso asked aggressively.

Gama (Mu Cang), who was quietly watching the game, put down his phone helplessly, "I'm optimistic about our Portugal!"

"sure!"

Veloso immediately changed his tune.

"It's really useless."

Coentrao looked contemptuous.

"Hmph, with your IQ, you won't understand."

Veloso laughed at Golden Retriever.

Seeing that the two of them had to fight for another [-] rounds, Ronaldo, who ignored their nonsense, asked Gama, "Your family still didn't come to this match?"

Ronaldo, who didn't have enough tickets for his relatives because too many family members came, felt a little embarrassed. Before he didn't have enough tickets, he asked around in the team and asked to leave all the tickets of his teammates.

"Ernesto doesn't have time, Joanna, I don't trust her coming here, it's not safe."

Jia Ma blinked, and honestly explained the reason why his only two relatives did not come.

Because they are both close to their families, Ronaldo and Gama had a very happy chat. After the two talked for a while, his captain answered the phone and left first.

Looking at the back of the captain leaving in a hurry, Jia Ma felt that the sweetness in the captain's eyes was really obvious—dating, dating!

"Miguel, are you going out today?"

"go out."

Veloso, who has a girlfriend, will naturally not let go of the opportunity to go out on a date.

"Fabio?"

"Same."

"Kopey?"

"Same as above."

Damn, these bastards are going out!

Gama pulled his hair.

"Xiko, I'm not going out."

Furtado put a comforting hand on Gama's shoulder, "We can play games together."

"Your family didn't come?"

Gama glanced sideways.

"They go shopping, I don't want to go shopping with women. It's enough to be accompanied by my dad."

Furtado shook his head. He didn't want to spend all his good time shopping with his mother. Anyway, his old man came too, so let them go to the world of two!

"Oh, how poor we are!"

Gama sighed.

"You can go out if you want, there are a lot of fans here, and there are more beautiful female fans, you know!"

Furtado snickered.

Jia Ma was dumbfounded, and he paused for a few seconds before replying, "I'm a man with very righteous views."

"What do you mean?"

Furtado, who could not understand Chinese, was dumbfounded.

"That is to say, I won't go on a date!"

"Tch, it's true, think about our time on the beach last year..."

Furtado muttered, but didn't say the rest, because Gama kicked him.

"To shut up!"

"Men Sao!"

"roll!"
