Legendary Road

The most unlucky player in the first half of the game was undoubtedly Miguel of the Portuguese team.

He first collided fiercely with his teammate Pauletta when fighting for a header, and later injured his chest when fighting with Yanakopolos. After leaving the field and receiving treatment from the team doctor, he insisted on returning. Went to the field to continue the game, but still hunched over and looked painful, unable to run freely.

The team doctor returned to Portugal's bench and told Scolari that it was best not to let Miguel continue to play, as his injury had affected his performance.

Scolari frowned and observed for a while, and found that Miguel really couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so in the 41st minute, he replaced the injured Miguel with Ferreira.

This substitution was not expected by Scolari. He patted Miguel with a frustrated face and asked the team doctor to follow Miguel into the locker room for a more detailed examination.

Boas in the stands couldn't help cursing "Damn" with the Portuguese fans present. Although Portugal had an absolute advantage in the situation in the first half, they always missed the goal.

And the occasional quick counterattacks of the Greek team made him terrified every time, which made Boas feel a little bit of a bad premonition.

"The Greek team's counterattack is simple and efficient, and they can always seize the gap...Yan, I read the news in the newspaper that "the wizard of the East will help Greece reach the top of Europe". Did you really say that? "

At the end of halftime, the players of the two teams walked slowly towards the player tunnel. Yan Jing turned his head and looked at Boas, who was not looking too good. It’s too annoying to say that I’m only here to support Greece, they are too obscene.”

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was soaked in sweat, walked towards the player channel panting. He had several good chances in the first half, but the tenacious Greek team made these chances meaningless. waste.

Bad luck! Ronaldo was very annoyed. Although the Portuguese team had been on the offensive at the beginning, the score of 0-0 at the end of the half was obviously far from his expectations.

However, the Portuguese fans present gave warm applause to the hard-working players on the field. Ronaldo looked up to the stands, and the red and green flags were flying, but he saw the crazy fans in this group at a glance. An inconspicuous oriental wizard.

That oriental wizard was supposed to be talking to another person, but Ronaldo always felt that the other person was looking at him, and then he remembered what the other person said before he left that day, as if Portugal would definitely lose...

Maniche, who was walking behind Ronaldo, pushed him: "Hey, Cris, don't be dazed, go in."

Only then did Ronaldo come to his senses, smiled apologetically at Maniche, and then strode into the player tunnel.

----------

The 24-year-old Charisteas is tall and active on the field. He almost condenses the characteristics of the entire Greek team.

Like many of his Greek teammates, Charisteas is not reused in the club team. He is only a backup striker in this season's Bundesliga champion Werder Bremen, and has not been reused by the head coach.

But all of this cannot stop Charisteas from shining in this European Cup. As a member of the highly motivated and disciplined Greek team, Charisteas is a sharp weapon for the Greek team's offense.

He scored a goal in the second half of the group match with Spain to tie the score 1-1 for Greece.The 1 point obtained by the Greek team became invaluable when the group rankings were later arranged. The Greek team finally overwhelmed the Spanish team and qualified for the group.

Then in the quarter-finals with the French team, he also ended the French team's dream of defending the title with a header. His goal made the Greek team become the first team to win the European Championship at the same time. champion and host team.

The game has come to the 57th minute without knowing it.

Sitaridis of the Greek team made a pass from the right, and Ronaldo, who was chasing back, blocked the ball from the bottom line, and the Greek team won a corner kick.

Charisteas, standing behind the goal, was crowded in the penalty area with a lot of people. He used his peripheral vision to constantly observe the positions of the Portuguese defenders, while Carvalho and Costinha beside him Consciously tugging at his jersey.

"It seems that the Greek team's Basinas is responsible for taking the corner kick. It is worth mentioning that this is the first corner kick for the Greek team in this game. They have had too few set-kick opportunities before."

Basinas took a corner kick from the right. Ronaldo, who was in the penalty area, had no chance to take off because of the involvement of the Greek players. He could only look up and watch the ball fly over his head.

Then the tall Greek tall who overwhelmed Costinha and Carvalho leaped high to compete for the header occupied his entire retina.

Before Basinas kicked the ball out, Charisteas remembered Rehhagel's words of encouragement before the game.

"You know what? You've done a great job at the EuroBasket. If you continue to use your speed and skill wisely, you can be the man who dominates the game. Take it easy, man, we have nothing to lose." of."

Charisteas had a premonition in his heart at this moment—this would be the moment when the new king was crowned.

So he jumped up from the ground 6 meters in front of the goal. No matter how fierce the opponent's pull and suppression and gravity were, they couldn't stop him from heading the goal this time, which was enough to be recorded in history.

The Omonia Square in the center of Athens was restless and frenzied, and countless ardent and eager eyes intertwined with the highest jumping Greek man on the huge screen.

Liberty Avenue in the Rossio district of central Lisbon was dead silent, and the suffocating gazes became frightened and uneasy during Charisteas's invincible celebration.

Ronaldo watched the ball go into the net in a daze, let the ecstatic Greeks pass by him in a daze, and looked up at the huge scoreboard in a daze.

0-1.

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

The Portuguese commentator at the scene revealed a bit of disappointment in his tone, and he said weakly: "Charisteas of the Greek team scored a goal... Ricardo's reckless attack made him seize the opportunity and score a header. ... and now Portugal are 0-1 behind Greece."

Ronaldo couldn't hear the tsunami-like cheers and curses at the scene. He heard a voice in his heart constantly reminding him.

Cristiano Ronaldo, you can't lose.

Cristiano Ronaldo, you haven't lost yet.

Ronaldo took two deep breaths, collected himself and looked up at the scoreboard again.

It was only 57 minutes, and they still had time to equalize or even overtake.

Portugal's goalkeeper Ricardo is still in a daze because of the ball he lost due to his rash attack just now, but Ronaldo has quickly fished the ball out of the net for him, and then quickly rushed to the center circle to release the ball. OK, and protested to the referee that Greece took too long to celebrate.

German referee Merck looked at his watch. The celebration of the Greek team had lasted almost 2 minutes. Ronaldo's protest was not unreasonable, so he signaled the excited Greek players to come back and continue the game.

In the 59th minute, Ronaldo shot coldly with his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal, and Nicopolidis made a save to the left to block it.

Scolari then made adjustments and replaced Costinha with Costa.

In the 64th minute, Figo broke the ball into the right side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot 14 meters in front of the goal, which was confiscated by Nicopolidis.

In the 73rd minute, Maniche made a cross, and Costa volleyed with his right foot 28 meters in front of the goal and slightly missed the right post.

As time passed, the players of the Portuguese team became more and more impatient. The Portuguese female fans in the stands interlocked their fingers, their eyes were flushed, and they kept praying to God for good luck.

Scolari on the sidelines played the last card, Gomez replaced Pauleta, who performed poorly in this game, and Portugal ran out of substitutions.

In the 75th minute, Portugal missed a golden opportunity to equalize.

Costa made a long pass from the middle circle. Ronaldo stopped the ball with his right foot on the left side of the penalty area. Facing the interception of Nicopolidis, he did not make any further moves. He directly volleyed with his left foot 10 meters in front of the goal, but the ball Higher than the beam.

"Damn it, masturbate again!" Markt cursed, then he took off his glasses, turned around and touched Yan Jing, "Hey, Yan, have you been to the Stadium of Light before?"

Yan Jing didn't understand the meaning of the other party's question: "Huh? No, this is my first time here."

"I have been here, and more than once, I have already found out the exact location of the press area."

With a solemn face, Mark put the funny-looking red knitted hat in his hand on his head, and then he unzipped his satchel.

"I know it sounds crazy, I fucking hate Luis Figo, a shameless bitch, but the hell is I like Portuguese football."

"...?" Yan Jing looked at Mark Te's inexplicable behavior in confusion.

A large, folded Barcelona flag is held in Maket's hand.

"I'm determined to give the bastard who betrayed us for money a good look today."

Markt stood up and walked down. Only then did Yan Jing see the row of golden letters printed on the back of Markt's black T-shirt through the lights in the stadium——

Fans all know that Jimmy Bounce is a crazy Barcelona fan. He once jumped into the synchronized swimming pool in the 04 Athens Olympics, rushed directly into the F1 racing field, and scared the Swiss king Federer in the men's singles final of the French Open. A big jump, trying to put on a Little Red Riding Hood for the Hercules Cup in the final of the World Cup in South Africa in 10, and kissing Aguero...

Of course, it was this European Cup final that made him "famous" overnight.

Oh...I'm going, this is the famous Jimmy Bounce? !

Yan Jing suddenly thought of something bad. He looked at Makte, who had not gone far ahead, and pulled up Boas who was beside him and chased him down.

Boas, who was still worried about the failure of the Portuguese team, was taken aback by Yan Jing: "Yan, what are you doing?!"

"Let's go, Andre." Yan Jing's eyes locked on Jimmy Bounce, "There is no time to explain, we have to catch the man in the red hat in front, and don't let him enter the stadium to make trouble!"
