Football red and black years

Italy vs. Portugal is more eye-catching than Greece vs. Czech Republic.After all, compared to the two dark horses of Greece and the Czech Republic, the contest between Italy and Portugal, the traditional powers, is more eye-catching. Many people regard this competition as a proposed final.

This European Cup is regarded as the last afterglow of Portugal's golden generation. Rui Costa, the midfielder commander of Portugal's golden generation, has made it clear that he will quit the national team after the European Cup.Paul Sosa has reached the end of his career, and it is hard to say whether the old and strong Figo can last until the next World Cup.

This is also the last European Cup of Italy's golden generation, which is almost in its infancy. The 31-year-old Panucci and Zambrotta; the 30-year-old Inzaghi and Cannavaro...

The old opponents of the 1994 European Youth Championship final met again in the semi-finals of the European Cup after a lapse of ten years.

When the external media hype, the players are actually very harmonious.This time Trapattoni still chose the starting lineup against the Netherlands.

Buffon, Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, Panucci, Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Totti, Vieri, Inzaghi.

Rui Costa, who is quite familiar with the group of teasers in Milan (because you are one of them!), came to visit by the way, and brought Portugal's captain Figo by the way, even Figo's own young player who was still rubbing They all came easily.

Although Ruy's main position in the club and the national team seems to be a bit untenable, his relationship with Milan's black-bellied sky group is still good.

After all, the belly of this cool and handsome male god is also full of blackness!

Then people saw Figo with an arrogant face, Rui Rui who was holding back a smile (he felt that he was about to quit the national team, and he didn't need to worry about these idiots!) and a three-year-old with an immature face.

"This little guy is...?" Cannavaro, who was quite handsome and Italian-looking, leaned over and looked at the little guy.

This little guy looks like a bamboo pole, but that guy is not short, but isn't his earrings too big?And his hairspray-free England?

"This is our little guy, Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Manchester United. If you meet him in the future, please take care of him!" Rui said.

"This is the new No. 1250 of Manchester United?" Inzaghi looked at the little guy.He knew that last year Ferguson spent [-] million pounds to poach a good beet from Sporting Lisbon. This little beet and the brown-haired piglet at home are praised by many media as the twin stars of the future of football. of! (In fact, it ended up playing Three Kingdoms, and a certain group is still in La Masia.)

Just when this group of guys were about to talk about something, the referee came over to remind them to line up, and Figo and Rui took their young generals to go. They planned to give their young generals some education before the start of the game. Italy Black belly!But don't be fooled by those guys!

The hosts, Portugal, naturally received most of the cheers as players from both sides walked out of the tunnel.

But the Italian players don't care. Since 1998, this is the fourth time they have met the host, and they are used to it!

"Trapattoni chose the lineup he used against Sweden and the Netherlands. Portugal hoarded a lot of troops in the midfield. This is planning to compete with Italy in the midfield!" Scarlett glanced at the announced starting lineup and said.

"Italy's midfield is now all about Pirlo, Portugal naturally has the confidence to compete with Italy in the midfield." Nancy said.

Trapattoni naturally knows that Portugal's wingers and midfielders are strong.On the winger, there is the old and strong Figo and the new generation of Ronaldo flying on both wings, and Rui Rui sits in the midfield, and even Deco rises after Rui Rui is old.But not matched by strong wingers and midfielders are weak centre-forwards.

The weakness of the center caused the pressure on the Italian central defender to drop sharply, and the two midfielders can concentrate on protecting Pirlo and let him organize the offense.

After the opening, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball and attacked from the wing smoothly, but his unique skill of riding a bicycle still had to hand over the ball when he faced Maldini and Cannavaro's joint grab.

Seeing this scene, many commentators said: "It seems that even Ronaldo cannot attack smoothly under the joint defense of Maldini and Cannavaro. Among the three famous Ronaldos in football Two have played against this golden pair of Italian defenders, I don't know if the other one will have this opportunity."

The commentators talked about the time when Maldini and Cannavaro jointly tackled Ronaldo when Brazil played against Italy in the 97 Four Nations Tournament, and the other time was this time!

As for another Ronaldo, he will meet soon, in the Champions League group stage next season.

Ronaldo was still standing there in a daze. Just now, Ma Damiao's clean back shovel made Ronaldo, who was accustomed to the Premier League style, a little uncomfortable facing such a technical guard.

Rui ran over and patted him on the shoulder: "This is the Italian defender, go back to defense! Italy's offensive is about to begin!"

Maldini steals the ball and hands it to Pirlo. Pirlo dribbles the ball across the midfield under the protection of Gattuso. It is still a familiar routine. After receiving the ball, Totti breaks through and hits the wall with Vieri several times. Cooperating with pulling Portugal's goal out of the neutral position, Inzaghi succeeded in anti-offside, and the goalkeeper who waded past Portugal succeeded in hitting an empty goal.

1-0, Italy leads.

After this, Italy has always occupied the field advantage.

Even after a tactical corner kick by Figo, Ronaldo's threatening header was missed by Ambrosini, who was also excellent in air defense, and was picked off by Buffon.

In the end, Italy kept its 1-0 advantage and successfully reached the final.

The Portuguese players were either sitting on the pitch with their heads in their knees, or they were hurrying back to the dressing room where they wanted to be quiet.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood there helplessly, and Ronaldo, who will be hailed as one of the three great talents in the future, is really helpless like a child at this time.

At this time, Rui came over and patted Ronaldo on the shoulder: "Chris, we can only take you here, and you have to go the rest of the way by yourself!"

Figo on the side also nodded, they didn't have another four years later, and Figo at most led Portugal to participate in the 06 World Cup in Germany.

"Rui, I will bring a European Cup to Portugal!" Ronaldo said with red eyes.It's just that he didn't know that he would have to work hard for 12 years to achieve this dream, from a young boy to a mature man, and even dragged Portugal forward all the way.

In the final held at the Stadium of Light three days later, Italy did not let the Greek mythology staged, but it was an unbelievable score for everyone: 4-0.

In the 28th minute, Vieri bombarded the goalkeeper heavily and judged the right position but still failed to organize;

In the 49th minute, Pirlo took a corner kick and Totti headed in;

In the 68th minute, Inzaghi shot into the net from a distance;

In the 87th minute, Del Piero, who replaced Ambrosini, volleyed from the left side of the penalty area, completely sealing the victory.

At the end of the awards ceremony, captain Maldini raised the Delaunay Cup high.Italy reached the finals for two consecutive times and finally won the Delaunay Cup.

Scarlett looked at the man who was kissing the trophy from the stands, with a gentle and sweet smile on his face.

2004 is known as the golden age of Apennines football. In this year, the captain of the Italian national team Paolo Maldini held high the Saint-Blade Cup and the Delaunay Cup successively. The national team's victory made the whole of Italy fall into madness.At this moment everyone has become an Italian fan!

Italy's European Cup victory naturally plunged the entire country into madness in the summer.

Well, football is an important part of life for Italy.After winning the European Cup, Maldini clearly announced his withdrawal from the national team.Although the 36-year-old Maldini's retirement from the national team has made many fans sad, it is still understood by many people.

36 years old is already the rhythm of retirement for many athletes. Maldini just quit the national team, not bad!

At least the fans can still see our Mr. Ma Yingjun in the club's games, right?

Scarlett and Inzaghi have also discussed about the national team. Inzaghi has already stated that he will finish participating in the 06 World Cup in Germany, and then the 08 World Cup in Austria will depend on how the head coach chooses.

Scarlett and Inzaghi have no plans to go on vacation this summer. After a season of high-intensity competitions, Inzaghi has started five of the six European Cup matches, so he naturally needs to rest.

Not only Inzaghi, but even Milan's international players have no plans to go out for vacation.

But everyone still went to Ukraine in July. Our Ukrainian Milk Candy and Kiev Little Nightingale are getting married!

The wedding was held in a small church and did not alarm the outside world.It was just that Little Nightingale's relatives and friends were present.

The best man was Kaka and Shevchenko's teammate Rebrov in Dynamo Kiev. Scarlett looked at the shy bride and pulled out this information from her mind.

Natalia Koniekova graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Milan and now works in a law firm in Milan.

From the current point of view, Scarlett thinks that Shevchenko is a very discerning wife. At least for now, it seems that Sheva's career will probably not have any unpredictable troubles because of his girlfriend's overwork.

After the ceremony, the group of unmarried guys clamored to pick up the bouquet, although most of them married young.

What was unexpected was that the bouquet fell into the arms of the dazed Kaka after being passed several times. The brown-haired piggy looked at the bouquet in his arms and inexplicably remembered a face.

Scarlett shook her head speechlessly looking at the silly and cute look of the little pig, but in fact, she was really curious that that girl could become this lover?

In any case, the 2003-2004 season was successful, and this year can be called the golden age of Apennines football.

Before the start of the new season, Milan won another UEFA Super Cup without any suspense.In the last Europa League winner Valencia, Milan beat their opponents with a score of 3:0.

Among them, Sheva and Inzaghi each scored a goal.In the 75th minute, Ancelotti replaced Cafu and replaced him with Sergio Ramos, a teenager from the Real Madrid concession this year.

In the 87th minute, Pirlo took a tactical corner kick, Ramos succeeded in the header, and Milan completely sealed the victory 3:0.

At this time, Ramos, who was still at most a water girl, felt that his summer was extremely dreamy. First, he was bought by Real Madrid, one of the overlords of La Liga, and then told that he would be given a concession.Originally, the concession was nothing. At this time, Ramos did not feel that he could have a place in the star-studded galaxy battleship, even if he was a defender, and Real Madrid's defenders were not as star-studded as the frontcourt.

But when he learned about the team in the concession, he completely had a dreamlike feeling. What Ramos was told was that the team he was in the concession was AC Milan!

The smart Ramos quickly understood what Real Madrid meant: learn more, Milan is a rare world-class defense!

In this way, Ramos was a little dizzy even when he came to Milanello to report!

That's Milan. Does the defender know Milan's defense?Once upon a time they had Baresi, Tassotti, Maldini, Costacurta.Now they have Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, Cafu!

Ramos actually went to watch the European Cup, but he knew that in the five games led by Maldini, he only conceded one goal, and that goal was a set kick.The other games were clean sheets.

And Ma Damiao is the only defender among Ramos' idols! (The others are forwards... 2333333333...)

And after a few joint trainings, Maldini could see that this new kid was a pretty good defender!And this is also capable of both a full-back and a central defender.The replacement of Milan's full-backs may take at most two or three years.

Maldini is not a worry at left back. Even if he retires in two or three years, he can be replaced by Karadze (you think too much, you still have five or six years!), but Maldini is at right back. As the captain, Tini naturally knows that Milan has been looking for Cafu's successor.

It's a pity that so far no one with the right age and ability, or in other words, the right age and talent has not been found.

Although Maldini knows that this little guy is from the concession, there is still a buyout clause, isn't it?

Mr. Captain naturally knew what Scarlett and Ancelotti meant: "Meow, what a good defender this is! For the sake of Milan's future defense, it's up to you!"

In this way, Ramos, who was still in the water at this time, lived a pretty good happy life.

The big guys in the back line don't mind giving more pointers to this quite spiritual junior. Although Ramos's skills are still a bit rough, at least he can't be as clean as Maldini and Nesta.But to be honest, if you dig out the black history of Nesta and Cannavaro, you will know that these two were also known for their fierce shovels when they were first transferred to the first team!

Although Ramos may not be able to get the starter in important events, there are often many opportunities to come off the bench, and Ramos can even get the chance to start when facing underdogs in the league.

Although there is a bit of a language barrier, Italian and Spanish belong to the Latin language family, so there is no problem in daily communication.Not to mention that there are still several Brazilians and Argentines in Milan's formation at this time!Portuguese and Spanish can basically communicate without barriers, and the Italians who have been teammates with this group of guys for a long time probably can also understand Spanish.

Milan is still performing strongly in the league in the new season, continuing its momentum of the Triple Crown. Milan, which has four forwards, puts enormous pressure on the defense of all opponents on the front line.

For Milan's opponents, this situation is miserable, but for those who love Milan, isn't this the best golden age?
