Chapter 240: The Game Begins! Little Fat Man!!

Spain's departure made fans lament regret. However, in the next few days, they found that the original strong team that left was far more than Spain. German tanks and the Italian Legion in Blue, some people sought their lives, and the following days regrettably left one after another. If Germany's departure is acceptable, Italy's departure is somewhat conspiracy theorist. The weakness of German football is not a matter of a day or two, and although there is a big reform underway in Germany, it will take time. The World Cup in Germany in 06 is the time for the German tank to regain its glory.

Italy, on the other hand, paid the price for their usual slow heat, but even this result caused huge controversy after the game. Because the Italian media launched a huge condemnation after the game, accusing Denmark and Sweden of premeditating the game and working together to eliminate Italy from the competition. This caused an uproar, with a war of words between the Nordic and Italian media. However, since there is no definite evidence on the Italian side, the debate will last for a few days at best.

After Germany's 1:2 defeat to the Czech Republic, which was an all-substitute team, the group stage of this European Championship is officially over, and all the top 8 teams have been released. Portugal, Greece, France, England, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic will qualify for the knockout rounds for the final Delaunay Cup. Portugal's opponent in the round of 8 will be England, a team with high hopes in England.

In the 02 World Cup, although they were blocked by Brazil in the top 4, fans in England still gave great recognition to this team. With recent years. Premier League teams are gaining momentum in Europe. England fans are increasingly demanding the results of the England national team, as the self-proclaimed ancestor of modern football. The England national team's room of honour is lackluster. With the exception of their '66 World Cup triumph, England have never won any major honours. This made the very proud John Bull. It's embarrassing.

England fans are hoping the England national team can break that embarrassing record and win the first European Championship in England's history. However, the host Portugal led by Lao Lei in front of them is not an easy hurdle to cross. For this reason, the media in England began to build momentum for the England national team early on. Although I don't know how they did it, after their comments, after listening to them, England fans fully believe that the England national team can kill all sides and beat Portugal. Advance to the top 4.

As the first match in the round of 8, this Portuguese-English battle has attracted the attention of fans around the world. And just when the pre-match atmosphere of this big game was getting more and more enthusiastic, in London, England, a press conference shook the entire European football world. Mourinho, the champion coach of Porto, officially announced that he has joined Chelsea at the press conference on this day, ending the coaching whip left by Ranieri.

Mourinho's straight to the point "God is me" shocked all the English reporters who were speechless. Such a manager with a strong personality. This is the first time that journalists in England have seen it. And that's not just the end, at the press conference, Abu said: "We will do whatever it takes to bring Remaia to Stamford Bridge." No matter what the cost. I've reserved a check for Jose that doesn't write the amount. The words of the Russian tycoon made it possible for all the English journalists present to anticipate the coming storm of the Golden Dollar.

This news suddenly became the front page headlines of major media. Time. Rumours of a "ruble storm targeting Portugal's superstar" are rampant. And this news also caused a lot of trouble for Lao Lei. Brilliant English journalists. For the first time, Lao Lei realized the power of Fleet Street. No matter how he tried to prevent it, there were always English journalists who would think of a way. How to approach him. Pretended to be a hotel waiter, squatting 24 hours a day, and some even directly used false news to deceive Lao Lei.

Scolari was so enraged by the pervasive harassment of his subordinates that he held a press conference to denounce the poor work ethic of English journalists and shut down entire hotels and training grounds. In the days leading up to England, Portugal's training was all closed. At the same time, he was also afraid that the transfer matter would distract Lao Lei's attention, so he specially talked to Lao Lei. Fortunately, Lao Lei's calm state did not let what he was worried about happen.

In any case, the news that Lao Lei is going to move to Chelsea has intensified. This is undoubtedly exciting news for Chelsea fans. Old Lei's name, they have been thunderous for a long time in the past year. His appearance in Porto caused them to have an infinite reverie. There is no doubt that the arrival of Lao Lei will bring about a qualitative change for Chelsea. Chelsea at this time was both happy and unhappy. Because in the next 8 rounds, they not only hope that Lao Lei can come up with a wonderful table in front of them, but they are also afraid that he will play too well and directly knock England out of the competition. It's a blissful annoyance.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the game is finally about to begin. There are about 10 minutes left before the official kick-off of the game, and it is already crowded at the luxurious Stadium of Light in Lisbon. In the stands, England fans and Portuguese fans first came to a match. As a result, England fans, with their loud singing voices, won the victory.

While waiting for the game to start, the on-site director was not idle, constantly looking for celebrities in the stands. After a round and turn, there are quite a few celebrities, but the most eye-catching is the famous Mrs. England group. A circle of brightly dressed women sat in the stands, chirping and chattering. I have to say that in terms of fame, England's wives have indeed blown up the families of any other national team. While the commentators were counting and ridiculing the interesting stories and scandals of the past of the England Lady team, the managers of the two teams in the locker room were urgently arranging the final tactics.

In this game, Portugal's starting lineup did not change much except for Gomez replacing Pauleta. And on the England side. They still lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. On the back line, from right to left, Gary Neville. Terry, Campbell and Ashley Cole. In midfield, David Beckham and Paul Scholes are the right and left wingers respectively. Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard partnered in the middle. On the forward line, it is England's chasing teenager Michael Owen to partner England's new young talent, 19-year-old Everton goalscorer Wayne Rooney.

In the players' tunnel, Rooney and Lao Lei had an interesting scene. Lao Lei looked at the angry little fat man in front of him in confusion, and he couldn't remember when he had offended such a person. "Remember, my name is Wayne Rooney. Today, you're going to learn a lesson. After saying such threatening words in an angry tone, he turned and walked into the group, no longer looking at Lao Lei.

Listen to Rooney. Lao Lei remembered that he had indeed offended such a group of people. It was the night before the game, and on the way back to the hotel, Lao Lei was startled by the English reporters who suddenly rushed out. After these reporters asked with a face, Lao Lei was also angry and upset.

At this time, another question drilled into the ears, "Reima, what do you think of Rooney?" How much trouble do you think he will cause Portugal? This is also a coincidence, this question happened to be heard by Lao Lei.

"Rooney? Who is he? I don't know any damn Rooney. Lao Lei remembered that at that time, he replied so impatiently. What he didn't know was. His words soon appeared in the major newspapers of England. As a young genius with the same arrogant heart, you can imagine how unhappy Rooney was when he saw the news.

Thinking about it this way, Lao Lei finally knew. It seems that this strong little fat man should be that Wayne Looney. Thinking of the little fat man just now, the angry eyes like a red-eyed bull, Lao Lei didn't have the idea of going up to explain. This kind of thing. The more you explain, the more you can't explain. That sentence is indeed what he said. Although it is in an irritable mood and without thinking. But let Lao Lei before the game. Admit mistakes or something with your opponent, he will never be able to do it. At the same time, if this little fat man wants to find trouble for himself, Lao Lei doesn't mind playing with him.

"Audience friends, the game has less than one minute to go. This match will be the first quarter-final of this European Championship. Portugal and England, who will get the first ticket to the top 4, we will wait and see. Although in terms of fame, England undoubtedly have the upper hand. But Portugal, as the host, has already produced the championship after a series of previous tables. As favourites to win the European Championships, England will be a test of Portugal's true quality. ”

With the referee's whistle, the Anglo-Portuguese battle finally began. First of all, England's possession, after the start of the game, England obviously had a desire to start the game, which should have been Eriksen's deliberate arrangement. After kick-off, Beckham's long pass directly found Rooney in front. The little fat man's excellent body made him proudly and steadily jam Andrade behind him, and then directly volleyed the football in front of Owen. However, Portugal's back line, the table Xiàn is very tacit, neat and timely forward press, creating an offside position for Owen.

Andrade sent the ball out quickly and handed it to the feet of Old Ray. Lao Lei played fast and directly with a big foot, passing the football to the feet of Figo on the right side of the front court. Against the young and strong Ashley Cole, Figo did not have the upper hand. He didn't choose to break through, but directly hoisted the ball 45 degrees into the England penalty area. The strength and height of the England centre-back did not give Gomes a chance. The ball was James, who jumped and held on to it, while Gomez was firmly stuck behind him by Terry and Campbell combined.

Immediately afterward, England did not seem to slow down the tempo at all, and James drove the football forward again with a big foot. Such a fast pace caught the Portuguese defence a little off guard. 30 meters in front of the Portuguese goal, under the close interference of Gerrard, Kostiani's header made a huge mistake. He headed the ball back and pushed the ball straight behind him.

At this time, Owen showed his rapid reflexes and sheer speed. He made a turn, got the ball before Carvalho, and went straight into the box. Pushing the middle of the goal, Rooney broke the door of Portugal with a light push.

Suddenly, the Stadium of Light was filled with the cheers of England fans.

And the Portuguese fans can only be stunned. They didn't expect that the scene of the game with Greece would be staged. Many of them, before they even sat down, saw their teams fall behind.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Wayne Rooney!! Scored! Perfect start, unbelievable!! Portugal's backline, once again made a big mistake! We're ahead! The host gave a big gift, and they were dumbfounded!! Ha ha! Oh oh, quietly Wayne! He must be introducing himself to Remayr! ”

After scoring the goal, Rooney frantically rushed to the front of Lao Lei.

Pretending to be himself, he took out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to Lao Lei.

Then he said, "My name is Wayne Rooney." What is your name? Mr. Ha ha. ”

Looking at Rooney who was laughing wildly, Old Ray smiled and smiled coldly.

In this European Cup, Lao Lei showed his beastly eyes for the first time, facing Rooney's back.

The game is on! Little Fat Man!! (To be continued......)
