Slovakia is a typical landlocked small country in Central Europe, with a land area of less than 50,000 square kilometers and a population of about 5.4 million. Football is an unshakable dominance in this small European country, which has a 1:7 ratio of men to women, and is known for its abundance of beautiful women. Although the Slovak national team is not famous, it has also created an extremely glorious history in the past. To put it mildly, in terms of the best record of the national team, they are not weaker than Portugal in the slightest, and even surpass.

However, that was during the time when they were called Czechoslovakia. In '34 and '62, they reached the World Cup finals twice, but unfortunately they lost to the Azzurri Italy and the Samba Brazil respectively, and did not succeed in reaching the top of world football. Then, in the Italian summer of 1990, they also made it to the last eight. For a small European country, this is good enough.

But after changing their name to Slovakia, their national team results began to dip into the doldrums. Slovakia has not reached the World Cup finals since the World Cup in France in '98. Regarding this result, their own countries sarcastically said: "It's not that the national team doesn't work hard, it's just that our range of materials is too small." To come up with a world football team from less than 500,000 young men is really a thing that can only pray to God. ”

Against such a team, no one would think that Portugal would overturn in the gutter against such an opponent, unless it was Scolari who self-destructed and selectively abandoned the game given Portugal's current points advantage in the group. So. There are even reports in Portugal: "For the likes of Reima and Critiano, this national team training camp is no different from a vacation. ”

In such an atmosphere of public opinion. The atmosphere in the Portuguese team is also very relaxed and harmonious, and the players enter the training ground of the Portuguese national team with natural smiles. Since this time it's an away game. Therefore, Lao Lei and Ferreira and a few others did not meet Portugal, but flew directly to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. It is a typical European capital city, with beautiful buildings, clean and beautiful streets, and crisp blue skies. However, this is not the biggest focus that attracts Lao Lei and others, the Slovak beauties who come to Wangwan on the street are the focus of the eyes of these big men.

Along the way, even Lao Lei, who is known for his very honest private life, was dazzled and had the feeling of not knowing the world and the world. Although the weather is still a little cold, the beauties of Slovakia seem to have no idea about the cold. I can't wait to show off my beautiful body perfectly. To have curves, to have a face, this kind of beauty almost made Lao Lei and a few big men turn into wolves, and they are very popular.

This kind of eye-catching beauty can make people feel comfortable, so Lao Lei and the others walked into the hotel where the Portuguese national team stayed with a smile like a spring breeze. By the time they stepped off the bus sent by the team to pick them up, the hotel was already crowded with Portuguese fans who had rushed to hear the news. As the most popular star in the current Portuguese national team, Lao Lei's appearance made the scene suddenly a crazy star-chasing atmosphere. In the end, under the escort of the hotel security, Lao Lei and others entered the hotel. Of course. In the process, it is also indispensable to sign autographs and group photos.

Due to the itinerary as well as the club schedule, Old Ray, Ferreira. Carvalho, along with Thiago, arrived as the last call-ups. By the time they arrived, the first of their national team teammates, such as the Valencia defender, had been here for two days. So, although strictly speaking. They weren't late. But for ceremonial reasons, they still expressed a slight apology at the national team meeting that night.

This would have been a dispensable. It's just a process that doesn't affect anything, but it's in the process. Old Ray heard some gossip that he didn't like. "Che, I really think I'm the boss of this team." A very light whisper came from the side and into Lao Lei's ears. Without turning his head and listening to the voice, Lao Lei knew that this sentence was said by Ronaldo who was sitting next to him. For this peer who has always wanted to challenge himself, Lao Lei has always expected more than he paid more attention. He is optimistic about Ronaldo's future, but at least for now, Lao Lei can't see any ability that threatens him. So, he smiled slightly, and put aside this whisper that seemed to be specially said to himself, not caring and not showing any expression.

But what he didn't see was the jealous look from Ronaldo. Although during the European Championship in Portugal, Ronaldo tacitly acquiesced to Lao Lei's leadership in the Portuguese national team, but this does not mean that he surrendered and conceded defeat. As Manchester United's new No. 7 and a much-anticipated new star in world football, Ronaldo's competitive spirit in his heart is not inferior to Lao Lei. For Lao Lei, a compatriot of the same age who has been pressing him, Ronaldo has never given up on surpassing. And the fact that he has been playing a supporting role for Lao Lei in the past few years has stimulated and motivated his desire and fighting spirit.

In the past, due to the flaws and deficiencies in his achievements and personal tables, Ronaldo could only hide this goal in his heart and did not reveal it. But with the 04-05 season, his status at Manchester United and the rise of his cousin have given him the confidence to beat Lao Lei again. Although in the eyes of outsiders, the current honorary resumes of the two are too different, and there is no possibility of comparing them with each other. But this is not a big problem in Ronaldo's heart, he is very confident, as long as he is given a little more time, he can get those honors of Lao Lei sooner or later.

To challenge Lao Lei, in addition to the club level, it is the competition for the right to speak and the status of the Portuguese national team. In fact, before coming to this national team training camp, Ronaldo was ready to start challenging Lao Lei's position in the national team, and he had unilaterally begun to declare war, without Lao Lei's knowledge. Therefore, after Lao Lei slightly let go of Ronaldo's provocation this time, he received hostile and unfriendly signals from Ronaldo in the next few days.

The deliberate ignorance on the training ground, as well as the non-passing, and the seemingly non-existent hostility in the daily rest, began to make Lao Lei and even the whole Portuguese team feel an unusual atmosphere. In the face of Ronaldo's rather naïve and childish challenging behavior, Lao Lei didn't care about it at the beginning, and then he became a little angry in his heart. Especially, since the two of them were still in the same hotel room, the anger in his heart quickly burned bigger and bigger.

And this anger completely broke out in a small warm-up game closed in the team. Before the outbreak of the conflict, Ronaldo deliberately attacked Lao Lei's defensive area every time he took the ball, although he did not succeed many times, but he did not let go. Especially in terms of physical confrontation, the intensity he gave was almost the intensity of a formal key game, rather than an intra-team warm-up game with a warm up.

At the beginning stage, when Lao Lei didn't pay enough attention to it, his behavior achieved good results, and he completed a lot of breakthroughs in Lao Lei. However, when Lao Lei paid attention to it, the situation changed immediately. After the match with Barcelona, Barcelona's super offensive line gave Lao Lei a lot of tests, and at the same time, his defensive skills increased again. Therefore, although Ronaldo's strength has improved significantly under the tutelage of Ferguson, whether it is in the body, or in the action technique and the handling of the ball, there have also been qualitative changes, but in front of the current Lao Lei, it is still a little insufficient.

The pride at the beginning, and then the setbacks later, made Ronaldo, who was eager to win, begin to use the small means and confrontation intensity that can only be used in regular games. After his head was elbowed by Ronaldo during a jumping scrum, Lao Lei's anger could not be suppressed. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that they were on the same team, Lao Lei would have taught Ronaldo a hard lesson. After seeing Ronaldo walk away without apology at all, Lao Lei's eyes flashed a hint of familiar fierceness again.

Then, there was the next scene. When Ronaldo won the ball on the side and was about to turn around and accelerate, Lao Lei's figure immediately slid over quickly. When he touched the ball first, he took the ball and shoveled Ronaldo out of the sideline. At this time, the whole Portuguese team was both surprised and sure that there was really something abnormal between the two. Before the annoyed Ronaldo waved his fist and rushed towards Lao Lei, other Portuguese national team players who rushed over quickly hugged him in time to stop him. To be honest, if it weren't for these Portuguese players, Ronaldo might have tasted what the old Rena's big fist tasted like.

Looking at Ronaldo, who was constantly struggling and shouting in front of him, Lao Lei stretched out his hand and waved him defiantly. Seeing him struggling to move forward, Old Ray's grim face once again showed his trademark disdainful sneer. This smile made Ronaldo extremely annoyed, but he had no way to get rid of the teammates who hugged him, or even if he got rid of it, it was also a question whether he had the courage to really rush in front of Lao Lei. Compared with Lao Lei, whose notoriety has long spread far away in world football, Ronaldo's young anger with a bit of a prickly temperament is still too low-level. Regarding this, the most striking phenomenon is that now in football, most players will fight with Ronaldo, and only a few players dare to argue with Lao Lei.

In any case, this clash suddenly solidified the originally happy atmosphere in the Portuguese team, like a thick dark cloud hanging over them.

After the training was interrupted, under the persuasion and strict requirements of Scolari and Figo and others, Lao Lei and Ronaldo reluctantly reconciled in front of the whole team. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ronaldo's smile is so fake, and the disdain and coldness of Lao Lei's mouth and eyes are so real. In a word, when the two reconciled, there were ghosts.

But in any case, this skirmish in the team is also temporarily over.

It's just that no one knows that after the two returned to the room, this conflict really reached a high and high tide. (To be continued......)
