Article 226 Adjustment
The game is in full swing one after another, and the World Cup is a festival for fans around the world, but it is a very tiring festival for Chinese fans in the East.
Of course, this is for those real fans who don't fall on the field, those who care about a certain team, a certain star, are selectively watching.
After all the matches in the first round of Group D, Jonker's performance did not satisfy the Chinese fans, let alone the more demanding Portuguese fans.
Despite scoring the only goal of the game, his performance was sluggish, and there were not many chances to get the ball, so he didn't have any good performance at all.
Compared to the previous warm-up games, the gap is too big!
Some calm fans will say that Portugal as a whole is not good, and the responsibility cannot be entirely blamed on Jonker alone.
But when the whole is not powerful, shouldn't it be more up to the individual!
Isn't the role of stars and superstars supposed to be to stand up at critical moments and save the team!
After talking for a long time, everyone thought that Jonk should have a better performance.
What about Jonk himself?
There is a problem on the whole, but Jonker himself knows that his mood has also affected his performance to a considerable extent, saying that he is fully committed to the game, but everything is not going well, he is also a human being!
At this moment, he doesn't want to say anything to the media, and he can't say a few words at that time, and he is asking for trouble in terms of transfer and relationship.
It's better to play the next game well, explain it with facts, and plug the mouth.
It just so happens that the opponent in the second round of the group stage is also the Iranian team, which is recognized as the weak team in the group, and there is no reason not to kill.
Now. The atmosphere in the Portuguese team has become a little tense compared to before the start of the game.
No one goes out to drink or play games in the room anymore. This is the World Cup, not only about the national honor, but also for their own development is also very important, play well, win honor for the country, gild for themselves, this is a win-win situation.
During the World Cup. If any scandal happens, it is definitely because you don't feel good for yourself, and no one is stupid. The whole Portuguese team is starting to get serious.
Scolari even played a big lockdown, and during the transfer period, the players were not allowed to give any interviews, of course, the old man was more humane. There is no abstinence as in many national teams. If you have a girlfriend and a wife, you can still have fun, the old man in Brazil is still very open-minded, but open-minded is open-minded, wildflowers and weeds players don't think about it, no need for media exposure, as long as the old man knows that it means that the player's World Cup will end early, and there is a tacit conditioning. Yes, but not the day before the game.
Strict on the outside and loose on the inside. That's Scolari's attitude, and there's room for the players.
Ronaldo didn't know where to find his girlfriend, so he left Jonk in the room and went to be chic by himself.
What an awkwardness! There is an indescribable feeling in my heart, anyway, I am in a panic!
A self-deprecating smile, when did you have today?
There's really nothing to do, so let's just watch the game!
Turn on the TV, just in time for the game to start.
Australia vs. Japan!
It's not a big matchup, and it's not too attractive, but the game is still very exciting.
Since Australia successfully "broke away from Australia and entered Asia" in 2005, this battle also became the first "Asian civil war" in the history of the World Cup. This is the 15th match between Australia and Japan in history, and the first 14 times the two sides have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 5. In the 10th World Cup tournament hosted by West Germany in 1974, the "Kangaroo Army" completed its maiden trip to the World Cup with 1 draw, 2 losses, zero goals and 5 goals. The Japanese team, which broke into the finals of the World Cup for the third time in a row, did not win in the first two matches of the World Cup without a win.
After listening to the commentary, Jonk realized that this was an Asian battle.
In the 26th minute, Shunsuke Nakamura made a left-footed cross from the right side of the frontfield, Naoyasu Takahara and Atsushi Yanagisawa grabbed the point in the middle, Schwarzer could not make a save when he had physical contact with Naoyasu Takahara, and the ball flew directly into the net, Colwill and Guerrera stepped forward to protest to the referee that Naoyasu Takahara had fouled the goalkeeper, but Fatah ruled that the goal was valid, and Shunsuke Nakamura scored his 16th goal in his 61st national team match.
Looking at the Japanese team's goal, Jonk only shook his head, this goal was too reluctant!
However, after taking the lead, Japan began to take advantage of their foot skills and play ball control games.
Another hateful possession, Jonker saw the shadow of Barcelona in the way the Japanese team played, and from this moment on, he began to fully support Australia!
There was always a cry of hatred from Jonker in the room, "You shot the goal!" ”
"Hell, this can fly up!"
It's quite devoted, and only in this way can he not think about those messy things.
In the 84th minute, Nel threw a throw-in from the left side of the field into the penalty area, Kawaguchi was able to get the ball alive, Kennedy resisted Nakazawa Yu's second header to the right side, Colwill fell to the ground and poked the ball to the middle, Cahill's low right-footed shot from 11 meters penetrated into the empty net, this goal was also Australia's first goal in the history of the World Cup finals.
"Beautiful!"
1:1!
In the 89th minute, Cullina played the ball straight to Aloisi at the edge of the box, who crossed and Cahill stepped on the sole of his right foot, then fired a right-footed shot from the top of the box, the ball hit the inside of the left post and bounced into the net, which was also Cahill's 11th goal in 17 international games.
"Well done, it's him again!"
In the second minute of stoppage time, Kennedy crossed to Aloisi [let's talk] diagonally from the right side of the field, and Aloisi broke through Yuji Nakazawa and hit a left-footed goal from 11 meters to seal the victory.
"Ha Luha, little Japan is doomed!"
Jonk said that it was not because of other emotional factors, but that the Japanese players were indeed a little small. In fact, it is more appropriate to say short.
3:1! Big comeback, nice game!
After watching the ball, Jonk took a shower. I started a night of practice, and I was a little irritable, in fact, it was not suitable for cultivation, but I don't know what happened to the Dao, I have always been irritable and difficult to concentrate in the past few days, but once I sank into my heart, the effect was surprisingly good.
Move forward in the face of adversity. The harvest is even greater.
Jonke has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child, but the appearance of the old man Ouyang has made his life smoother since then, and it is only now that he has encountered another hurdle!
Isn't it just a broken love! Isn't it just being split!
What's the big deal!
Since it is impossible to give a promise yourself. If someone else can give, then learn to let go!
With the passage of time, it seems that Jonk has also thought a lot, and gradually immersed himself in Xuangong.
When I open my eyes again. Sunlight has penetrated into the room. "New day, new beginning!"
Jonk got up and went to wash, changed his clothes, and went downstairs for breakfast.
I went downstairs to the restaurant, and as soon as I sat down early, I saw Ronaldo coming with a big headset!
"It's proud enough, and a cologne can't hide the femininity of that body!"
No need to ask, this night has not stopped!
With the mastery of Jonker, Ronaldo is definitely a man among men. A few times a night, Lang is a pediatric pediatric.
"I said you kid, get that thing down!"
"Boss. You said! I'm listening! ”
"That exercise can keep you physical, but if you leave the essence of the descent, you won't come back! With that said, you move on! ”
After hearing this, Ronaldo's originally excited face immediately collapsed, and it felt like he was eating the perfect taste, but he heard others say that what he ate just now was like pig food, how disgusting and disgusting it was.
"Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Who knows, you are still thinking about how many times a night at this time!"
"Is there a remedy?"
Ronaldo actually wanted to ask Jonk if there was a way to complete that exercise, but Jonke pointed to the dining table opposite, which also meant that it was better to eat more practical than to make up for it
.
After breakfast, the Portuguese team will move to Eintracht Frankfurt, the venue of the second round.
It is still a bus, this trip is not like going to Cologne, encountering traffic jams, there are police cars in advance, and there are many Portuguese flags fluttering on the cars along the way, of course, fans will say hello after finding out that it is the team bus.
After arriving in Eintracht Frankfurt, Scolari gave his players a nap before the first training session was held in the evening.
The Portuguese players are very accustomed to this kind of training time, in the past, when they were in the academy, they were almost training in the evening, and when they came to the training ground, the players were in good shape, and Deco, who had recovered from injury and was almost recovering, was jogging alone.
After the other players warmed up, they started training, which was not very intense and ended after only an hour of training.
There were no tactical issues, Scolari kept watching the players sit and train in a simple and relaxed way, and he didn't know what the old man was thinking in his heart.
Hesitation is closed training, and if the outside media wants to know the recent situation of the Portuguese team, they have to rely on the help of the local media in Portugal.
It is reported that Deco, who missed the match between Portugal and Angola, has now recovered from injury.
In the past few days of training, Scolari has put Deco in the main line-up, and if nothing else, he will definitely be in the starting line-up. However, there was also bad news from the Portuguese team, C. Ronaldo did not participate in Thursday's team-wide confrontation due to physical discomfort, but recovered alone on the sidelines. Scolari refused to answer C. Ronaldo's situation, saying that Portugal's starting line-up against Iran would not be decided until the last minute.
The Portugal squad is also well aware that the current Iranian squad is in desperate need of a good performance in this game to maintain their reputation. "It's going to be a very tough game and we have to be ready to play hard," Figo said. ”
However, there is good news, the Group D match will be divided into two days, and the two teams drew in the match between Mexico and Togo at the beginning of the first day!
Just like Trinidad and Tobago in the first round against Sweden in the first round, in the opening match of the second round of Group D, another newcomer, Togo, also drew 0-0 with seeded Mexico after being sent off to earn their first point in the World Cup finals.
The second match between Portugal and Iran has not yet begun. Mexico is now in first place with four points from one win and one draw, Portugal is second with three points and Angola is third with one point. Iran is at the bottom of the table with 0 points.
According to the normal analysis, if Portugal beat Iran tomorrow, then Portugal will get 6 points to ensure early qualification from the group, and in the last round they can win the group as long as they are undefeated at the feet of Mexico, if they draw with Mexico, then Portugal and Mexico will join hands to qualify, if Mexico beats Portugal. Then Mexico will overtake Portugal with 7 points to occupy the top of the group and advance; If Portugal beat Mexico, then Portugal will definitely qualify for the top spot in the group, but Mexico's qualification will depend on whether Angola can beat Iran in another game. Because Mexico currently has 2 goal differences, while Angola is -1, Mexico still has the advantage in terms of comparative goal difference.
If Portugal draws with Iran, then Mexico and Portugal will be tied on four points. Angola and Iran are tied on one point.
The last round. As long as the two teams are tied, they will advance together with five points, with Mexico topping the group, while Portugal will only finish second in the group with a goal difference. If the two teams are separated, the winner will qualify as the top of the group, the loser will have to match the winner between Angola and Iran on goal difference, and the more team will qualify as second in the group, although if Angola and Iran draw in the last round, then Mexico and Portugal will be whatever the result. will all advance hand in hand.
If Portugal loses unexpectedly to Iran tomorrow, the situation will be Mexico with four points. Portugal and Iran are tied on 3 points, and the ranking depends on how many Iran can win against Portugal, and Angola is at the bottom with 1 point.
If that were the case, the situation would be very complicated for the group to emerge. However, Mexico are clearly in a better position to qualify as they do not lose to Portugal in the final round, while Portugal will have to beat Mexico to qualify, otherwise their fate will not be in their own hands.
All in all, Portugal will have to beat Iran tomorrow and they will not have to worry about qualifying for the final round of their group.
The media has analyzed all the situations, no matter what is possible, the result he wants is victory, which he is the same as all Portuguese players, there is no reason to lose at all, not arrogance, it is self-confidence, if you don't even have this confidence, you don't deserve to wear this national jersey.
There is often a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence, but the Portuguese team not only has self-confidence, but also has the support and attention of the largest number of fans in the world, and there is no reason to lose.
In order to win, Scolari began his PR work non-stop.
Deco returns, where does C. Ronaldo go? It's a real problem for Scolari, and if it is not handled well, it will cause civil unrest in the dressing room, and the impact will not be limited to the team. Dissatisfied with being substituted in the first game, Cristiano Ronaldo's remark that "Scolari is a 'muddle'" even caused dissatisfaction among Manchester United fans, and the "Red Devils" demanded that the nominal individualist be removed.
Scolari's crisis communications skills were on display, and he took the initiative to announce to the media that Cristiano Ronaldo would get a chance in the next game, and he said that he had a preference for the young man with character.
"I've always been partial to Cristiano. The whole world wants to see him dribble, and if he can apply this technique to the group, then he will benefit himself. Like Ronaldo in Brazil, he needs to feel special protection at all times, especially in some special moments, and he needs to change his approach. ”
Before the game, Scolari called on the referee to strengthen the protection of Ronaldo on the field, although he will also criticize Ronaldo when he is not calm, but as Scolari said, his relationship with Ronaldo is like a father and son, sometimes he criticizes the mistakes made by the child, and more often he loves his growth.
In this way, Scolari cemented his position as a parent in the 'Big Phil family' (i.e. the Portuguese team) and earned more respect.
First of all, the reporter of "News Daily" published a biography of Scolari, which mentioned that Scolari's abandonment of Baia was forced by the pressure of the Football Association, which made the outside world question whether Scolari has full command of the team, and the Portuguese Football Federation had to issue a statement to refute the rumors; Then. Scolari has been warned for violating Football Association rules by giving private interviews to Brazilian journalists. It can be said that before the war with Iran, there was a lot of negative news in the dressing room of the Portuguese team.
Scolari, who is familiar with "The Art of War", started by resolving the conflict with Xiao Xiaoluo, and immediately clarified all the gloom that hung over the Portuguese team. It also shows us that Scolari governs the team in addition to the Iron Bowl. There is also a gentle technique.
The importance of "harmony" to the team is self-evident, because the two "Berry" of the Swedish team were able to win by reconciling lightning before the life-and-death battle with Paraguay. In the same way, the future of the Portuguese team can be clear.
It seems that in order to confirm Scolari's public relations results, at the press conference before the start of the game, the old man generously said the news that Deco and Ronaldo will start.
Although Iran lost their opening game to Mexico, Portugal boss Scolari believes that Iran are the most dangerous opponents in this group and tonight's game is crucial. In order to win this crucial game. He will field Portugal's strongest squad, with Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo both set to play.
Although Portugal won the first game against Agora, the team's performance after taking the lead was not flattering. Scolari is still unhappy with that game until now.
'In the first game the players were too relaxed and it was absolutely not okay. "I would like to remind them to be vigilant in tonight's game because Iran is definitely better than Angola. "Scolari even thinks Iran are the strongest opponents in the group stage." I believe this game was the most difficult of the group stage. Iran is more dangerous than Angola and Mexico. They are physically strong. It's going to be a big problem for my players. ”
Because of this, Scolari decided to field Portugal's strongest squad for this match. "In such an important game, I don't have a choice." Scolari said: "I can't hold back, the players have to make sacrifices for the team and they have to take some risks to qualify for the group. The so-called adventure naturally refers to the previously injured Barcelona midfielder Deco and Manchester United winger Ronaldo.
Deco, who did not play Portugal's first game due to injury, was part of yesterday's training session with the squad.
"I don't feel any pain now, I feel like I'm in good shape." Deco said. However, although he thinks his injuries have healed. There are still many who worry that playing too early will lead to a recurrence of his injury. But Scolari can't wait: "Maybe this game will make his injury worse, but it's a decisive game. He's definitely going to participate. "It's the same with Xiao Xiaoluo, who hasn't been training for a few days ago, and he also participated in yesterday's training." I feel like Ronaldo is ready in training, but now I have to wait for the results of the checks. Of course I still want him to play. Scolari said after training yesterday morning. According to the Portuguese team doctor, Ronaldo is just overtired and not a serious injury. According to Scolari's attitude, Xiao Xiaoluo can only be slightly injured in this game.
But despite Scolari's belief that it was a difficult match, he was optimistic about the result: the key was to win, and it didn't matter what way it went.
"I'm not worried about my team getting the win, they have the ability. Maybe we didn't enjoy the game, but the important thing is that we win. I'm relaxed now because my players are in high spirits. The Brazilian said confidently.
If Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo both start, then there will inevitably be one less person in the attacking combination up front, who will be torn off?
The media found the crux of the problem again, and just wanted to ask a question, but the cunning old man did not give the reporter a chance to ask another question, ended the press conference, and left the scene happily.
Don't say? The media can guess!
The most daring idea is to sacrifice Jonk!
In order to ease the tension within, give up Jonk?
Will it create an even bigger contradiction again? Everyone knows that Ronaldo and Jonker have the best and most tacit understanding in the team, and now it is not a question of whether Deco and Ronaldo can coexist, the biggest question is that whether Portuguese players can fully accept Brazilian naturalized players? (To be continued......)
