[Football] Crown of Thorns

Daily Mail: Liverpool won 3-4 in an away game and rose to fourth place in the standings by one point.

…………

The Sun: This season, Liverpool has been robbing the rich and giving to the poor. It has a high winning percentage against teams ranked above 10 in the league, but it seems a bit absent-minded against teams ranked below 10. Liverpool’s challenge on the club’s 121st birthday is simply Terrible... The defensive performance was so poor that Rodriguez of Southampton even staged a good show of riding thousands of miles alone to humiliate Liverpool's defense... If it weren't for Da Gama's hard work, Liverpool might have continued away games for ten years Unbeaten record against Southampton...

…………

Mirror: In the post-match press conference, Rodgers avoided talking about whether he could guarantee his European qualification.

The Times: Liverpool coach Rodgers admits that Liverpool's performance is indeed not good, and he has no excuses for this.Regarding whether Liverpool can maintain the rare fourth place in the standings this season to ensure their qualification for the European war next season, Rogers said that the game needs to be played one by one, and it is not the time to consider this.

…………

On March 3, the wedding of the Red Army striker Suarez was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He did not invite many guests, and only a few club teammates were invited to attend his wedding.

After Gama was invited, of course, at the end of the league, he flew to the Netherlands with Jie Baozi and others who were invited together - Europe is really small.Gama language.

I admired the beautiful bride in the church—with good cooking skills, Sofia is the woman behind Suarez's success. Suarez and Sofia are a pair of childhood sweethearts. Regardless of other things, from the perspective of love and marriage, Suarez is really a good man.

"Feeling?"

The happy newcomer in front of him smiled like a flower, Jie Baozi turned his head and said to Jia Ma.

As a family of happy men, Jie Baozi still cares about his family's midfielder very much. Regarding Jia Ma's recent love gossip, Jie Baozi has been watching a lot, so he is a little worried.

"I am also very happy!"

Gama opened his eyes wide and smiled a little silly.

"Hehe, just be happy."

As the captain of the club, Jie Baozi believes that he has fulfilled his responsibilities. Anyway, Jia Ma is a big man who is about to turn 24. In football, many players of this age have already become fathers. As far as his competitive state is concerned, no one is qualified to speak of him.

"It's nice to be married."

Gama nodded—that's good, he also wants a home, with a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter...

…………

After the Uruguayan's wedding, Gama flew back to Lisbon directly. In the next half month, it was time for the national team's World Cup qualifiers. The league was suspended, and players from all walks of life returned to Guoqin Wang.

On March 3, a focus match between Israel and Portugal in the fifth round of Group F of the 22 World Cup European Zone will be held at the Ramat Gan Stadium.

At present, in the Group F standings, Portugal tops the list with 4 points from 12 victories, while Russia and Portugal are tied for second with 7 points.If Israel wins this round, it will maintain its No.2 ranking to put pressure on Russia.

According to the regulations of the world preliminaries, the No.9 of the 1 groups will directly advance to the World Cup, and the No.8 with better results in the 2 groups will draw lots to play the home and away knockout rounds and compete for the last 4 tickets. An extremely important game.

As far as the Portuguese team is concerned, as long as they win this game, regardless of the outcome of the remaining two games, the Portuguese team can directly advance to the World Cup finals as the first in the group.

Faced with this situation, Portuguese captain Ronaldo said in an interview: The game against Israel is very critical, and I am ready.Representing the national team is completely different from representing the club, but the goal is to win. I think this game I will go all out to score goals.

In the last round of world preliminaries, Portugal beat Northern Ireland, and last month’s friendly match, Ronaldo scored goals for the national team. At present, Ronaldo’s goals in the national team have already surpassed the second place in the history of the Portuguese team. Eusebio.He has created a new history of the national team and is constantly advancing towards new records.

Of course, the most important thing for Ronaldo is to help Portugal take 3 points in the away game and advance smoothly.

However, it is not an easy task to win in the away game.

Israel has achieved 4 wins and 3 loss in the last 1 games, which is no less than Portugal in terms of state.

In addition, although Portugal has won the last 4 games, from the perspective of playing football, their defense has conceded a total of 7 goals. Such a defense has also been criticized by the domestic media. The defense led by Pepe How to solve the problem of weak defense in this field will also determine the final outcome.

The Portuguese national team squad for the world preliminaries has changed significantly compared with the squad for the friendly match last month, and the Portuguese team's striker has also changed. Pizi replaced Ronaldo's old partner Nani.

Lipizzi performed well in Deportivo this season, scoring 7 goals in the league. He scored twice against Barcelona and assisted Soto to score against Real Madrid. Born in 1989, Pizi has fast speed, strong breakthrough ability, and accurate passing. The Portuguese media believes that if Pizi successfully assists Ronaldo in this game, it is likely to become the beginning of a major change in the Portuguese team's striker line in the future.

As for Nani—"Xiko, you fucking crow mouth, I'm going to kill you!!!"

I don’t know if you still remember what Gama told Nani about the red card in the first double-red game of the Premier League this season. At that time, Nani proudly replied that I had no red card and then... On the 6th of this month, Manchester United played against Real Madrid in the Champions League at home, Nani got a red card, Ronaldo finally beat Manchester United...

Afterwards, Nani had to temporarily leave each field due to injury and truce.

The world preliminaries Nani had to miss due to injury, he was not called up.

After this painful reality, on the phone, Nani wished to crawl over the radio waves and strangle the crow mouthed Gama.

Gama: (＠_＠;)

Gama: I, I, I...

…………

"You crow mouth, talk less in the future."

Wei Shao was annoyed and added, 'I really want to find thread to sew your mouth shut'.

"Uh huh, huh, you guys are too weak."

Gama blinked, emphasizing his innocence, but when he saw that the bad friends around him wanted to hit someone, he quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, the captain and the Barcelona king both had super strong performances in the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals that ended earlier. Let’s play, I read reports in the media that this year’s Golden Globe competition will be suspenseful?”

"Oh, listen to them talking nonsense."

Wei Shao pouted.

Furtado snorted coldly, "Even if the Argentine team currently ranks first in the South American standings of the world preliminaries, Ronaldo will not lose to him."

"Tsk tsk, it is said that our Portuguese team is under a lot of pressure now. In fact, I think Argentina is the only problem."

Cohen poked his head from behind, squeezed between Jia Ma and Wei Shao, and said with a smile.

"Yes."

Gama nodded.

"It's not as good as this," Furtado clapped his hands, "Looking back, we will look for the match schedule between Argentina and Barcelona, ​​and then Chico, you will use your crow's mouth magic skills, hehe, by then..."

Furtado smiled treacherously, and his idea was strongly supported and recommended by Wei Shao and Cohen present.

The corner of Jia Ma's forehead was green and straight, "My uncle's father is not a crow's mouth!"

"You are!"

…………

The Portuguese national team squad for the world preliminaries:

Goalkeepers: Patricio (Sporting Lisbon), Beto (Sevilla), Eduardo (Istanbul BB);

Defenders: Joao Pereira (Valencia), Coentrao (Real Madrid), Servio (Deportivo), Pepe (Real Madrid), Neto (Zenit), Furtado (Liverpool , leased back to Benfica), Veloso (Chelsea);

Midfielders: Vasco da Gama (Liverpool), Meirelas (Fenerbahce), Moutinho (Porto), Coutonio (Braga), Carlos Martins (Benfica), Machado (Olympiacos);

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Danny (Zenit), Varela (Porto), Vierinha (Wolfsburg), Picchi (Deportivo), Postiga ( Zaragoza), Almeida (Besiktas).

Judging from the list, Nani was absent from the upstart Wolfsburg and was selected, while Quaresma was not selected for the long list due to his long absence.

"It is a pity!"

You can't say this outside, but Gama said this to Veloso when you returned to the room.

"He's still capable, that's..."

Veloso shook his head, also very emotional for this star who was once called a twin star with Ronaldo.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, this game must be played well."

Gama threw himself on the bed and stretched.

"No bath?"

Veloso took off his training clothes and turned to Gama.

Gama waved his hand, "I rushed in the locker room just now, I don't want to move now."

Veloso took out the towel, "It would be better to soak it for a while."

"No."

Veloso, who was going to take a bath, did not close the bathroom door, lay down in the hot tub, and yelled loudly, "Xiko, are you really not taking a bath?"

"I want to move."

Jia Ma rolled on the bed, "Very tired."

"Your recent Liverpool game..."

Veloso chatted with Gama at the top of his voice.

After chatting for a while, Jia Ma felt that his mouth was a little dry. He got up and took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and stuck his head in the bathroom door.

"Want water?"

"Yo, there's room service!"

Veloso, who was lazily lying in the water, stretched out his hand, "Yes!"

Gama walked over with his bare feet stepping on the water marks on the ground, and handed Veloso a bottle of ice water, "He's in good shape."

As the pool water swayed, Veloso's robust body was looming. Gama reached out and squeezed the flesh on his shoulder, and clicked his tongue.

Veloso raised his head and took a sip of ice water, and looked back at Gama with a smirk on his face, "Look at your skinny appearance, do you have muscles like Brother Xiang?"

He raised his arms in a ┗|`O′|┛ gesture.

Jia Ma rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought that if this was the arena, there would probably be wolves howling in the stands.

Simply sitting on the edge of the pool, Jia Ma pressed Wei Shao's shoulder, "So, I remember that your girlfriend should have been handed over in Serie A before!"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Veloso leaned back against the pool wall and asked with a smile.

"How are you doing recently?"

"pretty good."

"so……"

Jia Ma's blue eyes sparkled, "Ask you, have you ever thought about getting married?"

"What, do you want to get married?"

Veloso sat up suddenly.

"No no no~~"

Gama waved his hand, "It's just that you know about Suarez's marriage two days ago, right?"

"I know, didn't you go to his wedding?"

"Well, seeing their happy appearance, I am also a little tempted."

"Motivated?"

Veloso lay down again, "Didn't you have a goddess as your girlfriend? Are you tempted?"

"It's not like that either."

Gama frowned, "Rachelle is fine, but I don't know if she will agree to get married."

"You really want to get married that much?"

Veloso looked at Gama strangely.

Gama sighed, "It's nice to have a home... right?"

This time, Veloso was silent.

After a while, he forced a smile, "It's good to have a wife and children, but you also need to be able to find a compatible one who can form a family!"

"Well, I want to..."

Speaking of this, Jia Ma suddenly lost the urge to continue talking, he stood up, "I'm going to sleep."

"Ok!"

Veloso watched him walk out of the bathroom, feeling somewhat disinterested for some reason, leaning against the sink and closing his eyes.
