[Football] Crown of Thorns

2011年6月4号，2012年欧洲杯预选赛H组第5轮比赛在里斯本光明球场进行，由葡萄牙队在主场迎战挪威队。

Portugal VS Norway, when the two teams met in the first round of the European Cup qualifiers, the Portuguese team lost 0-1 away to the Norwegian team.

而此前两队在历史上共交战过9场，葡萄牙队6胜2平1负占据绝对优势，其中葡萄牙队共进14球失5球；而在葡萄牙队主场中是3胜1平保持不败战绩占据优势，进10球失3球。

Portugal lost in the away game before. Judging from the overall data of both sides, the winning percentages of Portugal, which is currently second in the group, and Norway, which is temporarily at the top, are not optimistic by the outside world.

After Bento succeeded Queiroz as the Portuguese coach, Portugal performed quite well in the World Cup. Although they were eliminated in the quarter-finals, the outside world is still relatively optimistic about Bento's commanding ability, but the Portuguese team in the previous qualifiers played in the first two games The situation in the game was unfavorable, and Bento’s comments regarded the responsibility for the team’s loss as related to the absence of the team’s important core C Ronaldo, Pepe, Nani and others due to injuries, while those who opposed Bento thought it was Bento’s only Will use the set of tactics left by Queiroz to meet the battle, and he is not good at adjusting tactics and on-the-spot command, especially because he is quite different from Queiroz in the ability to tap players-as for the emergence of Gama, the core midfielder , It is also regarded as a manifestation of Bento's incompetence, and he will not use force!

However, when the Portuguese team defeated Denmark and Iceland 3-1 in the next game, and won two consecutive victories, the situation in Group H improved, and they fell behind Norway by 2 points in the standings, and the criticism of Bento became less. a lot of.

If the Portuguese team can defeat the Norwegian team in this game, then they may surpass the Norwegian team to take the top spot in the group, and they will be able to qualify smoothly, and will not fall to the point where they will finally play in the play-offs to get the promotion.

It is a matter of whether they can advance smoothly, so the Portuguese team can be said to be sharpening their swords and vowing to take three points.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was absent due to injury in the first two games of the European preliminaries, also had a fire in his heart. The outside world exaggerated and insinuated that "Portugal is Ronaldo's team", "C Ronaldo can't lead the Portuguese team" and "C Ronaldo is the only one" The cancer in the Portuguese team' and so on, as well as the criticism of 'Let Ronaldo can only be arrogant in the club', these reports make the competitive Ronaldo very much want to use the game to prove his ability.

But Ronaldo himself knows that it is impossible for the national team to play alone.

This season, Ronaldo is in full swing in Real Madrid, scoring 34 goals in 40 league games and wearing the La Liga Golden Boot.

But compared to the significance of Ronaldo to the Portuguese team, these are far from enough.

"team leader!"

It was rare to see that the captain didn't toss the curly hair on his head before the game. Jia Ma walked over and stretched his head to look at the content on the phone that the captain was swiping.

Ronaldo stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Don't watch."

Jia Ma chuckled, "Secret, captain~~"

He has eyesight of 5.0, and he can see the words "You will definitely win" displayed on the screen of the mobile phone and the word with an R at the beginning of the sender.

It's just that the sender's name was not read in full.

"beauty?"

Gama pressed on Ronaldo's back, craned his neck and tried to take another look.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who shut down the phone, pulled his arm back, "Of course!"

"Tsk tsk, Captain, you are too shameful."

Thinking of the captain's girlfriend Irina I saw in the media, and the word starting with R that Bibi saw, this is definitely not his girlfriend's name!

"Where did you go, little guy?"

Ronaldo came to his senses and patted Gama on the head, "What beauty is she?"

"Captain, Elena's name doesn't start with R!"

Smiling, Gama tapped the phone in Ronaldo's hand and stuck out his tongue.

Hearing Gama's words, Ronaldo smiled with twinkling eyebrows, "Boy, I'm a super attractive man!"

"so……"

Gamala long tone.

"So," Ronaldo pursed his lips and smiled, "this is a secret!"

"cut!"

Gama pouted.

"Okay, okay, don't mess around here, how are you preparing?"

This is the Stadium of Light. The match between the Portuguese team and the Norwegian team is about to begin. The stadium, which can seat 4000 people, is already full of people. Fans waving the Portuguese flag can be seen everywhere. There are men, women and old people with flags on their faces. Children, before the game started, they were already excited to the point of frenzy, singing and dancing, flags, and shouting slogans to cheer.

This is the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal, and today is a festival for Portuguese fans.

"If you lose, it will be miserable."

Gama, who was shooed away by the captain Ronaldo, huddled in a corner, muttering to himself with Veloso and Cohen.

Veloso patted Gama on the shoulder, "Do you dare to say this naturally?"

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid!"

"You are not stupid who is stupid."

Classmate Cohen pouted.

"You are stupid."

This is the duet's reply.

Classmate Cohen burst into tears—what on earth did he want to get together with these two bastards who bullied him as soon as they met!

"Stop talking nonsense, if you run around without guarding your position again today, I will kill you after the game."

Gama threatens classmate Cohen.

Cohen's pitiful little eyes swayed left and right, "This, this..."

"Master, it's my first start today, if you dare to run around for me, be careful of your chrysanthemum."

Veloso threatened more ruthlessly.

Cohen shrank his head in reflection, "You two are too much."

"Hmph, tell me, do you dare to run around?"

"Hehe, Fabio, you understand?"

I know shit!

Cohen was very indignant.

The two villains here are threatening classmate Cohen. As an excellent senior, their captain is in a good mood and started his work of tidying up his curly hair.

In the locker room, there were always plenty of people watching the excitement, and everyone watched the scene where Coen was being bullied by bad classmates.

"Fabio looks good this way."

Hearing the threat from the bad classmate, Pepe came over and said.

"If he wasn't good-looking, how could Real Madrid have taken a fancy to him!"

Meirelles said solemnly.

However, his statement was quickly refuted by Eduardo, "Can Pepe be considered good-looking?"

"Men, temperament is also part of charm."

Alves said.

"He has the air of a fart."

Nani responded boldly, everyone knows the result, Master Pei absolutely deterred the martial arts, leaving only Nani's poor back trembling in the bleak and ruthless cold rain...

"Come on, I don't need your voice over here."

Veloso patted Gama on the shoulder.

Looking at this cooperation, the tacit understanding is extraordinary, so they will definitely win today.

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

Meirelles asked.

As a midfielder, you always have to have a brain. Please explain the reason for this conclusion.

"No reason, because I said it."

Gama raised his head with a cool look on my face.

"cut!!!"

This is the reply from a circle of teammates.

Then, it was the intimate contact between their captain's big feet and their PP, "Have you had enough trouble, the game is about to start."

"Haha~~~"

The teammates who had been prepared for a long time dispersed in a rush, scrambling to go out.

After leaving the locker room, they met the players of today's opponent Norway team at the entrance of the passage. Since they are basically not familiar with their opponents, naturally it is not easy to laugh with their opponents, so they can only pretend to be serious and line up in the passageway mouth.

Today is the home court of the Portuguese team, so they are wearing a red jersey with a thick green cross on the chest with a red background. The national emblem is on the left and the Nike logo is on the right.

Ronaldo wore a pair of black zodiac sneakers today, walking in front of the queue very energetically.

Looking at his figure, Gama looked down at the sneakers on his feet. Although he is also a signed player of Nike and can get custom-made sneakers, he is still far behind the special series for captain Ronaldo. , so he still needs to work harder.

"What are you looking at the shoes for?"

Classmate Cohen grabbed his back.

Gama shrugged, "The captain gave me three pairs of custom-made sneakers last year."

"I know, so what?"

Gama smiled, "I wore the red pair before, and I'm wearing red again today. I think my luck will be very good today."

"That's great!"

"Um!"

A voice came from outside the passage, and Jia Ma turned his head and looked forward.

Walking into the stadium, lining up, taking photos, and other ceremonies were carried out one by one. The national anthems of the two countries echoed in the sky above the stadium, the flags were unfurled, and the players listened with their heads held high. On the big screen on the sidelines, the faces of the players Flashed one by one.

This is the national team game.

The starting lists of both sides are played live:

"Norwegian team: Goalkeeper: Yasten; Defenders: Hogley, Demidov, Hangeland, Riise; midfielder: Hauge; Midfielder: Riise Jr., Greenheim, Huseklein Pu, Peterson; Forward: Carew."

"The starting lineup of the Norwegian team today is 4-1-4-1. Just looking at the roster, I can say that their goal today is to focus on defense..."

"Although it is such a formation, it can't be said completely. In the game, such a formation can change to a full-strength attack or a purely defensive tactic at any time. I think today's Norwegian team came with the goal of winning. ,them……"

The invited guests began to analyze the tactics of the Norwegian team.

"... Then let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Portuguese team: the goalkeeper is still our main No. [-] Eduardo, the defenders: Bruno Alves, Pepe, Coentrao, Veloso; the midfielder: Gama , Meireles, Moutinho; Forwards: Nani, Postiga, Ronaldo."

"The Portuguese team is in a 433 formation today!"

"The national team has mostly used this formation over the years..."

"By the way, our back line has been replaced. This is Miguel Veloso's first start since entering the national team!"

"Yes, Veloso is a good guy. Judging from his current performance at the club, I don't think Genoa may be able to keep him."

"Aren't you very happy to see young players performing better and better, Luis?"

"Yes, I very much hope that the national team will have more and more good players..."
