No. 224 Figo is very good

It seemed that Portugal should really be figuring out how to pass the long night. Gomez and Petit were investigated by the General Directorate of Cultural Activities for watching pirated CDs to kill time, and then Miguel and Simão were caught going out late at night to have fun.

On the night of Scolari's 4-1 win over Cape Verde, Miguel and Simão went to a disco in Lisbon called the BBC and stayed until 4.45am, before coming out drunk and then going to training with a sense of sleepiness.

The hard work of the reporter of Portugal's "Morning Post" was not in vain, and the ugliness of the two drunks was published.

In fact, this is throwing a conundrum at Scolari to see how he handles the matter. Because Scolari's principle of leading the team is "overall first, discipline first", the current Portuguese team has washed away the glitz of the "golden generation" era, and even Figo can no longer enjoy the supreme freedom of the past. However, Scolari's reaction to the incident was somewhat unexpected, saying: "The players are free to have their own time, but hopefully they will be able to restrain themselves in their leisure time in the future. ”

Although the news came out a little late, but on the eve of the start of the World Cup is still very worrying, the only thing to be thankful for is that the biggest problem in the past Joan Ke is very honest, except for going to drink, there is no delay in training, and there is no problem with the problem household, which is a good thing.

In contrast to private life, the media has also given a bold analysis of the current situation in Portugal.

If we say that the disciplined German team, the talented England team and the air-conditioned Italian team are the first three European cars in this World Cup. Then, the Dutch team, the Spanish team, and the Portuguese team are the three sets of cars in Europe in the second level.

In the eyes of the media, it is still unknown how far they will be able to go in the World Cup.

Germany, England. Italy and France have both won the World Cup. In contrast, the team in the second car has a somewhat inferior record. The Netherlands reached the World Cup finals in 1974 and 1978. It was more than 50 years ago that the Spanish team achieved outstanding results in the World Cup. They still believe that Spain's defeat to South Korea in the 2002 World Cup was due to the referee's bias towards the hosts.

The golden generation of the Portuguese team has become "old". Costa and Figomen failed to cross even the first hurdle at the 2002 World Cup.

What are the prospects of the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain in this World Cup?

In this year's World Cup, the Dutch team has a lineup that combines the old and the new. But their players and coach Van Basten are all inexperienced. Two of the most experienced midfielders in the Dutch team, Clarence. Seedorf and Davies "Cobra" Davies were both left out of the squad by Van Basten. The reason is, they are always in the team and always get into trouble.

Legendary striker Van Basten helped the Netherlands win the 1988 European Championships. Now, he is confident that his line-up will be a success. At the same time, the young coach is also confident that the luck of the Dutch team in the game in Germany must have been checked. In 1974, when the World Cup was held. They lost to hosts, West Germany, to finish runners-up.

Despite Van Basten's confidence, the group stage for the Netherlands will be very tough. Their opponents include two-time World Cup champions Argentina, African champions Ivory Coast and tough Serbia and Montenegro.

On the other hand, the Spanish team. The main general Raul is in poor form!

How the coach set up the squad In the World Cup qualifiers, Serbia and Montenegro have already made the Spaniards suffer enough. Therefore, the Spaniards have a more objective consideration of their own strength.

And with Raul out of form, coach Aragonés could be bold in his move. Don't let Raul start, but let the Spanish team on the field show a new face.

"Our team is improving," said Aragonés. But we still need to fine-tune it. ”

Portugal qualified from the group with relative ease. It's hard to predict what happened!

After the 2002 World Cup Competition. Portugal bounced back. They reached the final of the 2004 European Championships. A group of experienced stars in the squad are now more mature.

However, their experienced main defender Valente said: "In the last few years, Portugal have not had good results and luck, especially in the last World Cup. However, we have grown from our mistakes. ”

Portugal, who are in a group with Iran, Angola and Mexico, certainly have a good chance of appearing. However, the pre-tournament experience of high expectations and poor results taught Portugal a lesson. Valente said: "We don't have games that we can easily win. But we definitely have to try to qualify from the group. We have a strong team now and we will give it our all to get a better result. ”

As the opening of the World Cup approaches. Portugal will also start their journey to the venue of their first match, the Rheinenergy Stadium in Cologne.

Upon arrival in Cologne. Just in time for the live broadcast before the opening of the World Cup, all the players and coaches were in the hotel and watched the whole process.

Two hours before the opening ceremony, I walked out of the press center and walked around the Munich Stadium. Suddenly, I saw a big tent, and the extras who participated in the opening ceremony walked in and out from time to time.

The reporter was curious and walked in to take a look. It turned out that this was a temporary resting place for extras. At a long table, drummers sat around, and some even played poker. Several young men, with oil paint on their faces and bodies, look up at the footage of the 2002 World Cup final between Brazil and Germany.

The cutest are some of the little caddies who have to follow the members of the World Championship into the course. They were dressed in jerseys from different countries, and they were in groups of threes and twos. Occasionally, I saw a football, the "Italian Gang" and the "England Gang", and they also "provoked" each other to hold a football match.

After watching the opening ceremony performance, Costa Rican fan Ugo wore the Colombian flag and ran to a corner of the stands at the Munich stadium, singing and dancing. "It's a big picture. Isn't it? "The opening match of the World Cup will allow Costa Ricans to prove themselves," Hugo said. ”

Costa Rican fans compared to German fans. Appear more outgoing and more flamboyant. During the game, when Wanchope equalized the score, the shouts of the Costa Rican fans shook the sky and overwhelmed the boos of the German fans at the scene.

While watching the game, fans can buy "low-alcohol beer" to cheer up. Strangely, though. Very few fans hold a glass of beer to watch the game.

After the match, Costa Rican fans were not discouraged. In the stands, they sang and danced. Show your support for the team. "We played well, and who thought we would score two goals against Germany?"

4-2, it was the opening match of the World Cup with the most goals ever scored. After the game. Many German fans said. Germany's four goals were a big surprise for them.

'Lahm's goal was fantastic and Frings was good. Fan Rafal said: "I bought this ticket and it cost 170 euros, but I saw six goals in 90 minutes and it was very cool. ”

Actually, Klose scored two goals with his feet. It also satisfies the German fans. In the press center, volunteer Nicole is a big fan of the German team. "When Klose scored the second goal, I saw some Costa Rican journalists who stayed in the press center and all of a sudden there was no sound," she said. I sympathize with them, but I can't hold back my screams. ”

As the saying goes, insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

Through the whole game, the German host team still exposed quite a lot of problems, first of all, the problem of defense, both goals conceded have a lot to do with the defense.

Of course, the German team's offense is also quite powerful, this World Cup Germany is not the favorite to win the championship, although there are some defensive problems in the first game, but more still show a good state.

Compared with the match of the host Germany, the next match between Poland and Ecuador is a little bleak, and the number of people who pay attention to the game is much less.

Scolari didn't ask the players to watch the game again, the players were free to choose, but the old coach still said that, he was optimistic about himself!

Jonk went straight to the gym to do equipment training, and Ronaldo, who had nothing to do, also went over to train with him.

At the start of the World Cup, the two popular young people seemed to be affected by the atmosphere of the game and began to strengthen themselves.

The outside world says so, but for Jonk and Ronaldo, equipment training is not a way to relax, and Ronaldo is not the same, so the competition Jonk is the first time to participate, and he is still a little excited.

After the equipment training, the two came to the pool again, and a unique pool battle began.

Both of them grew up by the sea, and when it comes to swimming, no one obeys anyone, originally, professional players don't want to be the losing side, and it's inevitable to divide the highs and lows.

The swimming style is not the standard freestyle, but neither of them is slow, and in the 50-meter standard pool, the two golden partners compete in a fierce speed competition.

Amazingly, Jonker's jump and dive swim was like a fish in the sea, and he was halfway there, and his head had not yet surfaced.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't see such a surprising picture, and occasionally watched it with his peripheral vision, thinking that he was the leader.

The hotel staff by the pool had long since grown their mouths and looked at the competition in the pool with an incredulous expression.

"Is this still human? I've never seen a swim like this! ”

"Will there be any accidents, save a football star in a while, maybe it will be in the news!"

The staff didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, but they all stared at the pool anyway, wanting to know the result of Lu Dao.

Jonk is finally coming to the surface!

"It's a pity that I don't have anything to do!"

The staff member who wanted to save people was still annoyed in his heart, but the next picture clearly told him that saving people? Who will save who still doesn't know the way!

Ronaldo was happy for a long time, thinking that he was far ahead, and suddenly a person rushed out of front of him.

A mouthful of water naturally poured into the mouth, without scary, I don't know what monster I thought was in the pool!

At first, it was a surprise, but then Ronaldo felt that Jonk was playing tricks and winning.

This is swimming, not diving, why don't you go out of the water from beginning to end?

"Boss, you can't do this! Don't talk about drinking water, you're too much fun swimming! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo watched Jonker's hand touch the edge of the pool first, and immediately began to complain.

"If you're not convinced, you can also try it!"

Jonk didn't seem to mind. Happy and enjoying the victory.

"Of course not, come again!"

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to think of something, "You don't have to go up. Just go back and swim directly, saving you from having fun! ”

Talking about others playing tricks, Ronaldo turned around directly, and there were still 3 or 4 swims back directly from the pool.

"Sample!"

Jonker glared at the edge of the pool with his legs and turned into an underwater creature again.

I didn't see what was going on just now, but now Ronaldo is really seeing it.

"Is this still human?"

If Ronaldo is allowed to know, Jonker used to catch fish and dig seafood at the beach in the past. It will be even more surprising that in order to survive, human beings will always have infinite potential.

Jonker hasn't practiced yet. is so perverted, which shows that his talent is extraordinary.

Ronaldo took another sip of water, he also grew up by the sea, why didn't he practice it. This is too awesome, isn't it?

"Next time, let him compete with dolphins. Let him smack! ”

"No, people can't compete with perverts!"

Ronaldo completely dispelled the idea of competing, and as he shouted, the game ended instantly.

After taking a shower, changing clothes, and walking back to his room, Ronaldo was thinking about what project would make Jonker deflated.

"If you don't have a game contest, you don't believe it. He can do anything! ”

But playing games, the more people there are, the more people are more lively!

I don't know who is in the room at this time. Ronaldo returned to the room, picked up the phone and immediately started calling.

Nani was the first to arrive, and unexpectedly, Figo also came, and when it came to playing live, uncle-level figures who obviously had a generation gap with Ronaldo and a group of young people were also excited to join.

Since there are many people, then you have to bring some lottery heads, one person comes up with 1,000 euros, a live cup, and the most lucrative prize money goes to the champion.

Without asking for Jonker's opinion, he has already joined the Portugal team in their first Live Cup.

The 1,000 euro white strips have been concentrated in the hands of Ronaldo, "You can't rely on the debt, so the game starts now!" ”

A total of four people participated, and there was a draw ceremony, and the schedule was also like the group stage of the World Cup, playing a round-robin match, winning a game with 3 points, drawing a game with 1 point, and the first place in the group was the champion.

Jonker's opponent in the first draw was Figo, since he entered the house, this uncle-level player has been happy not to express his opinion, it seems that this one is also a soy sauce player, compared with the other two players who are eager to try, Jonk feels that the first game can still win.

What is the level of his own family, Jonk knows very well, Chelsea's historical live games, he will always be the one who pays the tuition, and suddenly found a soft persimmon, Jonk does not have to worry about 0 points at the bottom.

Figo was not polite, took the handle and chose to randomly select the national team.

Seeing this Jonker, he almost didn't laugh out loud, so if he was not a master with absolute confidence, or he was a rookie who couldn't play, he chose the latter, defining Uncle Figo as a rookie.

Jonk also chose his own national team, Portugal, and chose to enter the start screen of the game, Figo randomly came to another European team, Turkey, and the Portuguese team was definitely above Turkey in terms of the comprehensive values in the live situation alone.

"Come on! Uncle! ”

Jonk didn't change players and formations, and was ready to start directly, and Figo made the same move.

"Ha Lu Ha, rookie! Absolute noob! ”

The viewing group behind them also shook their heads, for a master like them, both of them are rookies, the difference is only a big dish and a small dish, anyway, they are both characters who send points and money.

Who knew that as soon as the game began, the two of them widened their eyes and stared at the goal replays that kept appearing, which must be an illusion, yes, an illusion.

The uncle-level player Figo is also too violent, and Jonk has no power to fight back at all, under Figo's hands, he can knead as much as he wants, and it is completely the rhythm of hanging.

Easily pedaling the bicycle to pass people, and the next two-by-one cooperation is even more difficult to start, and it can be clearly seen that the level of free kicks is even more accurate.

"What a rookie here! Uncle, this is the rhythm of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! ”

Jonke already has no hope of getting points in his heart, that kid wants to get back face, who would have thought of finding a big boss!

Who would have thought that Figo was a master, and the average old man should not like games. Who knew that Lu Dao met an old naughty boy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and it didn't look like it!

Nani and Ronaldo are half a catty against eight taels, and after watching the first game, they also know the reality that they will face. But of course I won't admit defeat if I haven't played yet, and I still have the heart to win.

10:0! At the end of the first game, Jonker felt ashamed, not that he was ashamed, but that he was embarrassed for the Portuguese national team.

From the beginning, I knew that Lu Dao didn't have anything to do with himself. Jonk's mentality is not bad, the big boss is in the past, and the next point is one point. Whoever adds a little blockage is also a victory.

The following match between Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani has become an important matchup for the birth of the second champion seed, and only by winning can he win to hit the top of the group.

Nani was also unceremoniously direct to Brazil, and Cristiano Ronaldo was even more unceremoniously opted for club Chelsea.

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen two people so shameless. They are all top-level teams. There were even scenes of national teams playing against clubs.

The two are of equal level, the game is particularly intense, and the last is Ronaldo's superior skills, using Jonker in the game to open the door to victory, 1:0, won the game, and got three points.

Jonk was satisfied, even though it was the one in the game who scored the goal. But he was also very happy that the original form was in the back. Is the kid very powerful!

In today's situation, Nani and Jonk almost have no possibility of winning the prize money at the bottom, just see who can laugh the most at the bottom of Ronaldo and Figo.

Next, the second round match between Nani and Jonk was more like a warm-up match before the big game, Figo closed his eyes and recuperated, just looking at this momentum, there was a master's demeanor.

Nani in the game was a little unintentional, and Jonk actually got a draw.

He didn't expect this to be the result, it was called an excitement, and it was not much worse than getting a bonus.

However, Nani still exposes a problem, mentality!

Don't look at it as just a game, but it still reflects some real problems, and if you switch to a game, it can be fatal.

When Figo opened his eyes and saw the result, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart that this young man still needs to go through it!

At the beginning of the final, Ronaldo was full of fighting spirit, and he was inseparable from Figo, and he definitely played extraordinarily, but Figo seized the opportunity after the most and defeated Ronaldo with a free kick.

There is almost no suspense in the back, two points at the bottom at the same time, the first place Figo 6 points, the second Ronaldo 3 points, and then one round, as long as Figo draws, he will definitely be the winner of the bonus, and then he will lose, with the advantage of 10 goal difference in the first game, it is basically impossible for Ronaldo to come from behind.

Jonk vs. Ronaldo, rookie Jonk showed tenacity, only losing 3 goals, which made the championship no longer suspenseful.

Nani directly gave up the last game, and the other three didn't say anything, but they still had some opinions about the youngest member of the national team, at least because of their immature mentality.

Maybe Jonk and Ronaldo don have no say in the use of troops in the national team, but Figo still has a point, he decided to give Scolari some advice, at least to explain the real situation, his original intention is also for the whole national team, not to suppress young players, after all, all three people feel that Nani has some psychological problems, and there may be problems in key games and tough battles.

Many clubs have actually introduced psychometric testing as a reference for player selection.

What you can't see or touch is actually quite important.

The first day in Cologne was mainly about relaxation, but on the second day of training, there were some accidents, which only added to the suspense of the game that started immediately.

Portugal midfielder Deco was injured in training and is currently being treated in hospital. In an interview, coach Scolari admitted that although Deco's injury has not yet been confirmed, he is ready to use Plan B for the sake of insurance.

The plan is to move Figo from his habitual position on the wing to near the middle, and Figo's original right side will be taken care of by Simao, who has performed well in the warm-up game, in addition to the frequent switching between Figo, Simão and Ronaldo's attacking midfielders.

Deco's injury is uncertain at the moment, the Portuguese team was training in Marienfeld that day, Deco was injured in a scramble with team-mate Costinha, and Scolari, who was standing on the sidelines, and the team doctor immediately rushed to the field to check. 'He's not doing very well, but it's hard for me to make a decision right now, and everything won't be decided until the day of the game.' Said the Portuguese team doctor.

Head coach Scolari didn't say much about Deco's injury, but his mood can be imagined, because in Scolari's mind, Deco is undoubtedly the brain of the team. However, for the first group game against Angola, Scolari stressed the need to be prepared for Deco's absence, "We are ready to use Plan B".

In the case of Deco's injury, Scolari highlighted Figo's role, saying the 33-year-old midfielder is in better form than he was when he led Portugal to the European Championship final in 2004, "Figo in 2006 is far better than Figo in 2004, in every way. Scolari also praised Figo's leadership, skill and physicality in the team. (To be continued......)
