The first round of the knockout round of the World Cup came to an end in just a few days. Sixteen teams competed for the top eight seats, but the result is still that European teams occupy most of the seats.

Because the game was held in the Americas, and Brazil was the host, virtually freed up an extra spot for the American team. In the group stage, the Asian teams were completely wiped out or even failed to win a game. In contrast, the American teams relied on The right time, place and people and many of them have performed exceptionally well.This is not difficult to understand. After all, many weather conditions and climate environments are very different between the American continent and the European continent. Just like the downpour, lightning and thunder before, it is difficult to encounter in Europe.

However, many of the American teams that advanced to the knockout round by virtue of their outstanding performance in the group stage fell in the first round of the knockout round. It is very unpredictable.

In the first half, the Brazilian team undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. Their opponent Chile is also very good, but in the end they still failed to withstand Brazil's fierce attack. With Neymar's lore, they directly killed the game and made the hosts advance forward. Quarterfinals.And Brazil's opponent in the next game is the England team that defeated Belgium in an "upset". The young Belgium did not escape the calculations of the experienced England, and England almost dragged Belgium to death.

Unable to attack for a long time in regular time, there was no achievement in overtime, and a goal in the penalty shootout knelt at the feet of England.

Although they often play in the first round of the knockout round, England has enough background and experience to keep the young Belgium going. The excited English people have no time to think about what to do next against the host Brazil. They are all immersed in the joy in the ocean.

Not surprisingly, Poland defeated Nigeria, a strong African team, and Germany also directly defeated Colombia, a strong enemy in the Americas, with three goals. In the end, the two European neighbors met again in the quarter-finals, and the German team is also looking forward to making this World Cup Muller, who also scored five goals, and Klose, who has already tied Ronaldo's goals, can go one step further.

In the second half, there is no suspense for Argentina to beat Switzerland. The United States will be a bit upset when it beats Greece. In the end, the rookie, the United States, will go to face the Pampas Eagles Argentina. The meaning of Argentina is very obvious.

However, as the Portuguese team, they naturally focus on their opponents. After the Oranje Netherlands repelled Croatia and advanced to the quarterfinals, it is inevitable that Portugal will have a head-on momentum with the Netherlands!

This time Paul Bento did not give the players time off, but directly called everyone together for pre-match training. The most important point was to conduct a special analysis of the attacking group of the Dutch team. They had no choice but to enter the hall that was used as a tactical analysis room with a bitter face.

Generally, the team will arrange seats according to seniority and age, with the older ones sitting in front and the younger ones in the back.

But in the Portuguese team, they seldom pay attention to these things. The head coach is young, and the captain is Luo Sansui who looks very majestic but is actually favored by the whole team. Therefore, the locker room is basically friendly regardless of age. Veteran players swear their sovereignty to suppress the youngsters, and the seats are arranged according to their size, just like the seats in school, and height is especially important at this time.

Basically, those who sit in the back can look at the teammates sitting in front with a sad face with a smile on their faces. As a reflection of male self-esteem, height naturally plays a very important role.

The 1.7-meter Moutinho looked at the 1.7-meter-two Joao Pereira next to him and the 1.7-meter-five Adrian on the other side, and the eyes of the three converged on Nani who was also 1.7-meter-five behind him. There was a look of regret in his eyes.

If I had known this earlier, I should have drank milk as water when I was a child...

Clemens glanced at Ronaldo beside him, and said calmly: "Chris, did you step up just now?"

The corner of Ronaldo's eyes twitched, and he looked at his own child. Before he could speak, Pepe next to him laughed: "Hahahahaha! Chris, are you a child, you still have to stand on tiptoe when you are in the queue!"

Ronaldo snorted and didn't look at him, but stared at Clemens with his eyes. He really didn't know how such an upright child was raised.

This squabble also eased the atmosphere. Paulo Bento laughed. In fact, in terms of seniority, the position of captain should not be given to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo is the core, and his personality and temper can be fully understood. People, it's good to be the captain in the locker room, at least there is no opinion on it from top to bottom.

Perhaps the media in Portugal who are provocative but not offline always come out to flirt, but at least they are not as vicious as the Argentine media who say "Messi has hindered the development of Argentine football". Generally speaking, Ronaldo is redundant. You don't need to do anything, you just need to keep your heart and you can win everyone's heart.

This is also a unique advantage.

With this in mind, Mr. Bento pressed the button to control the video playback and walked in front of the crowd. He began to explain in real time the match between the Netherlands and Spain. Clemens listened and observed his teammates. Movement, because he sat back, Clemens could basically see everyone's movements, for example, several veterans lay directly on the sofa chairs and almost fell asleep with pillows, while the young lads sat on their buttocks. It is always moving around restlessly as if it has grown nails, and looks very uncomfortable.

When encountering Robben and Van Persie scoring or shooting, Mr. Bento would always let Clemens observe carefully, and finally simply said: "Thomas, you sit in the first row."

Clemens got up and took his water bottle and sat there. Paulo Bento asked Nani in the second row very intimately: "Luis, can you see it?"

……

What is making up the knife, and what is sprinkling salt? At this moment, Nani almost sighed. Is it too late to take calcium tablets?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pepe slowly posted a photo of himself and Ronaldo, posted it on Twitter, and added a sentence: [I am Pepe, I don't tiptoe, I speak for myself. 】

Ronaldo knew that Pepe was teasing him, so he reached out and pulled Pepe's hair. Pepe hid it with a smile, put it on Ronaldo's shoulder and hugged him: "Mr. Captain, let's go later. play cards."

"What if I win?" Ronaldo raised his eyebrows.

Pepe thought for a while: "If you win, the whole team will stand on tiptoe with you before the game and everyone will grow up together. If you lose, you will squat at the top next game, how about it?"

Ronaldo thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Deal." Before Pepe was happy, Ronaldo turned around and called Clemens to the front, "Kid, you will be with me later."

Pepe was startled, and subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Clemens nodded first and agreed.

It's over, this is what everyone thinks about. Everyone knows that Clemens, a kid who doesn't talk or laugh, has never lost a card game. It seems that the Portuguese tiptoe team will show up in the next game. In the rivers and lakes.

Pepe looked down at the phone, and found that the reactions of the onlookers on the Internet were surprisingly consistent.

'What's wrong with tiptoe?Not to mention standing on tiptoe in the rows of seats, I would tiptoe every time I took a group photo before the game!This is called cute do you know! '

'Although I don't understand the significance of standing on tiptoe...they are all 1.8 meters five, neither the Portuguese national team nor Real Madrid can find a few taller than him, right? '

'So Ronaldo just used this method to show cuteness, well, I admit, you succeeded =3='

'Short tiptoes are called concealing real data, tall tiptoes are self-willed...'

"Holding my face, I really want to know Luo Ye's mood every time, I'm afraid I'm used to it as always 233333333"

'Master Pei doesn't need to complain, we forgive him for you! '

'He is handsome and he is reasonable =w='

After the tactical analysis class, Clemens came to the restaurant with the team. The blond boy always sat at the table by himself. There is no place for others to lay hands on the table.

Ignoring the envious and jealous eyes of his teammates, Clemens put a piece of barbecue into his mouth, and Mr. Bento, who was sitting behind a table next to him, carefully told him a few words: "Thomas, don't control, eat well, God, why don’t you gain weight?” To be a goalkeeper, you still need to gain some weight, and now his own child has small arms and legs, and every time he makes a save, Paulo Bento doubts that he will put himself broken waist.

This sentence caused a circle of melancholy.

Why did I dislike the goalkeeper position when I was a child?Is it because you can't score?

If I knew at the time that being a goalkeeper doesn't have to eat grass, would I have changed myself...

===

The preparations for the World Cup are very tense. It seems that there are intervals between games, but as a player, there are many things that need to be done.

However, Clemens has one more task than his teammates, which is to watch live broadcasts of various games under the arrangement of the coach.Portugal were scheduled for the morning, while Clemens could see both of the previous day's games.

This kind of opportunity to rest aboveboard seems like a goalkeeper's exclusive benefit, but Paulo Bento has his own plans: "When it comes to the knockout round, every team must be the main force, Thomas, I hope you can observe us There may be opponents that you may encounter. Some players’ playing styles and routines cannot be summed up by looking at past games. Once you enter the knockout round, the possibility of changing formations is not great. I know it is very difficult, but I hope you can prepare more."

Clemens, who had a task to watch the game, was sitting tight. The first game was to watch the live broadcast of the match between Brazil and England.

In order not to reduce the amount of training, Clemens adjusted the training sequence, and this period of time was naturally adjusted to a state of rest.

Seeing that the players from both teams on the field returned to the locker room, Clemens took out his mobile phone and hesitated for a while, but still did not send the edited text message.Now is the critical moment for Brazil to advance to the semi-finals. Clemens didn't want to interfere with Kaka, so he stuffed his phone back into his pocket under the strange gaze of the masseur accompanying the team.

But at this moment, the phone vibrated visibly.

'Are you watching the game? '

The short message from Kaka made Clemens blink. Generally speaking, mobile phones are not allowed in the locker room. Obviously, the kid Kaka secretly violated the regulations again.

Clemens thought a lot, but in the end his reply was just one word: 'Yeah. '

'I'm going to play well, Thomas, if I win I think we can do a video? '

Originally, they wanted to avoid seeing each other less during the knockout rounds to avoid distraction, but at this time, they couldn't say no at all. Clemens' fingers paused on the screen for a while before replying with another word: "Yes. '

Then, Clemens put the phone back in his pocket and looked at the screen.

The passionate voice of the Brazilian commentator came to my ears: "The most interesting game is about to be staged! The Brazilian national team sits at the Castelão Stadium to welcome the challenge of the European powerhouse England! The stadium is full of seats for this game. Both sides are the main players, but we have reason to believe that the Brazil team with Kaka, Ronaldinho and our new king Neymar will definitely bring the most exciting competition!"

When the players from both sides entered the field, Kaka, who was holding the caddy, showed a bright smile to the camera.

The smile of the Son of God is always very sunny, with the enthusiasm and cheerfulness unique to Brazilians. Kaka, who has been trained by Clemens to have a good habit, has a clean face without any stubble and looks very energetic. He is as active as a young man in his early 20s, and when he laughed, many female fans in front of the TV covered their mouths. Kaka may not be the best player in Brazilian football history, but he is He is the most dazzling prince in Brazil, and Kaka, who led the Brazilian team again, has moved countless people.

And Clemens stretched out his arm to be pressed by the masseur - Paolo Bento was always afraid that Balotelli's collision would affect Clemens - but his eyes were fixed on the screen look.

His heart was beating fast, and Clemens subconsciously covered his heart with his free hand.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" As the team's absolute defensive diamond gate, the importance of Clemens is self-evident. Every move can make Mr. Masseur nervous, even as long as Clemens nods , he can turn around and rush to find the team doctor.

Clemens shook his head, still sitting there, but there was clearly more gentle emotion spreading in his eyes.

He has seen Kaka many times, at any time, in any scene.

But the most dazzling and brightest will always be Kaka on the green field.

Brighter than the sun.
