227th Victory over Iran (1)
Walde Stadium, Frankfurt, Germany.
After the warm-up activities of the players and the many staff emptied the field, the main content that the fans were most looking forward to this night was about to start -
Portugal v Iran!!
This game is today's finale, not a showdown between two traditional strong teams, but it has attracted hundreds of millions of spectators waiting for the opening whistle, for no other reason, there is the Portuguese team, there is a game played by Jonker, there is no worry, there is no attention, Chinese fans are waiting for the start of this game, maybe the Chinese fans are still saying how handsome Beckham is, beautiful full moon scimitar, but when it comes to Jonke's game, everything has to stand aside, and Chinese fans love Jonk alone.
Of course, the rest of the attraction is dominated by the Portuguese team, and most of the players in the Portuguese team are all well-known stars, playing in the top league, at least the fans who watch the game will not be unfamiliar.
Fast by, in the blink of an eye, it was 8:20 p.m., and the two teams were already jumping in the players' tunnel, each holding a child's hand, ready to participate in the entrance ceremony.
At this time, the audience was very enthusiastic, but the players' tunnel was very quiet, and none of the players went to talk to each other, and they were all experiencing the atmosphere of the World Cup competition.
In this high-profile arena, the mentality of the players is undoubtedly much more excited, you must know that the attention of this game can exceed that of any Champions League final, according to statistics, this game will be watched by as many as 1.1 billion people, although this is only one game in the group stage, the pre-match publicity is not as good as the Champions League final. But the title of the 'World Cup' and the appeal of Jonk still made a Group D group stage set a record for the highest ratings since the start of the tournament.
Jonk was also standing in the tunnel of the players. Listening to the call in his ears, he couldn't wait to play, this kind of competition was really shocking.
"Brother Jonk, can you give me an autograph and a group photo after the game."
At this time, the voice of Little Lori suddenly came from the quiet player's tunnel, destroying the quiet atmosphere in the entire passage, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jonker. Jonker is holding a 5 or 6-year-old German NV in his hand. The little girl looked at Jonk with big eyes and a wink.
Jonk smiled at her, and couldn't help but pinch the little girl's face with his hand. Said: "Okay, no problem." ”
Returning from the atmosphere in the stadium to the players' tunnel, looking at the very casual brunette boy, the players of the Iranian team felt a little nervous and expectant.
In the Iranian team. Most of the team's players play in their home professional leagues. Although they have heard the name of the 'Asian Popular King' and watched the video of Jonk's game, after all, Europe and Asia are too far apart, and many of them want to play in Europe, and it is not easy to mix with ordinary players.
The gap between them and Jonk is definitely much farther than the position they stand at the moment.
As a result, few people think about what it's like to compete with Jonker.
Although Iran's head coach Anivankovic had stressed the attacking style of the Portuguese team before the game, he did not actually get on the field. It was hard for them to imagine what kind of strength the black-haired kid in front of them, who seemed to be very friendly, would have. After all, seeing is believing!
And now the Portuguese team, the whole lineup can really be described as an all-star, not only Joanck, but also Figo, Ronaldo, Deco, Simão and other players are all well-known.
Looking at the star players of the Portuguese team, the players of the Iranian team are even a little ashamed.
However, this only made them even more scrappy.
If you beat the same opponent, you can only feel a little excited, but if you beat an opponent who is impossible to beat in the eyes of the public, it must be very comfortable.
Compared to Iran, Portugal are almost impossible opponents to beat.
Not to mention other players, just the value of one Jonk can buy a few Iranian teams, such a gap is really frustrating.
In the changing minds of the Iranian players, after a while, it was already time to play, and each player in the player tunnel also restrained their thoughts, each holding a caddy, and came to the court from the tunnel in order.
In an instant, cheers rang out at the Walde Stadium!!
CCTV5 TV Station——
"Let's come and see the scene, the two teams are finally playing!"
"Today the Portuguese players wore a traditional dark jersey, which is said to have been designed by Nike to make Portugal better at the World Cup, while Iran wore an all-white jersey, and they still maintain the style of the last World Cup, and it hasn't changed much."
"This is the 24th match of the World Cup, in Group D, the strength of the Portuguese team is undoubtedly the strongest, they are also one of the favorites to win the World Cup, our favorite star Jonke is also among them, anyway, I still want to say on behalf of all Chinese female fans to Jonke, the old does not go to the new does not come."
Huang Jianxin was in charge of the commentary of the game, and his bold commentary style blurted out when he introduced Jonk at the end of the day.
With Huang Jianxin's continuous introduction, the players of the two teams on the court have lined up in a row, ready to take turns singing the national anthem, which is a ritual before the World Lujie Cup.
First of all, the Portuguese team sang the national anthem.
Listening to the rhythm of the Portuguese national anthem in his ears, Jonker was at a loss, he was really not too familiar with the Portuguese national anthem, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut, I've seen the lip-synching, I've never seen Jonke lip-sync like this, but fortunately, these are all small details, anyway, it's a long-mouthed singing, as for what the content is, only I know it.
To say that Jonk has participated in a lot of national team games, but this national anthem really can't be sung, firstly, he is not interested in singing because he is not full of five notes, and secondly, he has not sung a few times since he was a child.
The camera passed by, Figo sang a serious one, Ronaldo and Jonker are not too similar, Ronaldo from overseas islands has a much more professional lip shape than Jonker. At least people who don't know the inside story of the Tao will think that they are very involved in singing.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
After the end of this ceremony of singing the national anthem. The starters of both sides began to take pictures, which was also an important part of the pre-match World Cup, after which the captains of both sides went to guess the coin, and then the players of both sides spread out on the pitch to find their positions.
At this time, the form and lineup on the field are clear.
Portugal's starting formation is a standard 4231, with Jonk still at the top.
Jonker has emerged as the undisputed number one choice in the Portuguese squad. The rest of Scolari's personnel can't be compared to Jonk, Pauletta's fish belly is okay, but he has a weak leg with the strong team. There's no way to compete with Jonk.
So Jonker is the only choice for the striker, to be precise, there is no substitute for Jonk in today's Portuguese team, and the other players in the midfield are No. 6 Costinha and No. 18 Maniche; No. 17 C - Ronaldo. No. 20 Deco. No. 7 Figo.
There are indeed not too many surprises in the midfield start of the Portuguese team, after all, Scolari has already made a similar statement before the game, Ronaldo will start with Deco, and the arrangement of 4231 can also be seen how seriously Scolari attaches importance to this game.
Iranian coach Ivankovic doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, who doesn't want the opponent to pay attention, but don't have to pay attention to it! Before the game, they were talking about Iran's chances, reminding the Portuguese team not to be careless. Who reminded the Iranian team, it is really a weak team without stars. Even the media didn't bother to report it, let alone give advice!
The midfield came up with five generals at a time, and they didn't let them live, and Mexico came to a small quick spirit in the last round of the group stage, which made Iran hate, what about today? I'm afraid it's even bleaker!
Before the game started, Ivankovic had already begun to beat the side drum in his heart, not because of his bad psychological quality, but because of his sober understanding after comparing the strength of the two teams, what a miracle, to create a miracle, he still has to rely on his own strength to rely on it, relying on luck alone in the face of the overwhelming gap, luck has to kneel!
What Scolari wants is such an effect, not seeking the best form favorite, just trying to make the opponent fearful, so gorgeous that the opponent has no confidence, this is the best guarantee of victory.
Deco, who has just recovered from injury, and Ronaldo, who has some minor injuries, don't need to perform well, just let the game on the field have a deterrent effect on the players of the Iranian team, plus real play.
It is conceivable that the Portuguese team will definitely play attacking football today and vindicate themselves with a magnificent second game victory.
Of course, a big win can also relieve the pressure of the outside world, adjust the atmosphere in the team, Scolari did not reserve, to get a victory, and a big victory, some words have been said before the game, he believes that the players must also understand the meaning of the big victory, the current Portuguese team, is in need of a big win, so as to support them to go further!
After the start of the game, Jonk felt that his state today was surprisingly good, although the head coach unanimously emphasized before the game that the Iranian team will definitely focus on defense in the game, but Jonk did not feel anything, these Asian players in terms of defensive ability, and the Premier League first-class players are really a little different, at least until now Jonk has not felt anything.
So, this time he wanted to try it himself.
After winning the ball near the halfway line, Jonker was alone and headed forward.
At this time, the tacit understanding between several people in the middle and Jonk was shown, Ronaldo and Figo flew together from the wings to press forward, and Deco dragged back and was ready to support at any time, such a running position made Jonk feel very relieved, because he had a lot more options.
"Jonk rushed forward with the ball!"
Seeing this scene, the commentators of TV stations in various countries in China said excitedly that up to now, Jonke's dribbling has become a picture with urgent appreciation value, and fans feel that it is worth the ticket price to see this black-haired boy's performance on the spot.
It's all off the court, and Jonk is still running forward with the ball step by step.
At this time, he saw a young player come forward to grab the ball, this is Iran's defensive player Golmohammadi, this player currently plays for Iran's domestic club Sabah Battery, the performance is not bad, and he is also a frequent visitor to the national team.
As a little-known defensive player, Golmohammadi has no shortage of passion and determination to challenge the masters, and he will not admit that he is inferior to others without playing against him, even if the difference in value between him and Jonk is more than a hundred times. He still didn't hesitate to rush up to defend.
Therefore, he kept staring at Jonker's feet when he posted it, trying to predict in advance that direction Jonk was dribbling the ball. Thus finding a tackle.
Jonk didn't change his dribbling speed because Gormo Hamadi stepped forward, he just took it step by step, as if he was completely ignorant of Gormo Hamadi running over, which made the fans in the audience a little worried.
The Portuguese fans were full of confidence, and they were all looking forward to watching the next scene, because they knew that they wanted to snatch the ball from Jonker, relying on only one defender on the other side. That's almost impossible.
In fact, when Gormo Hamadi got his way and went straight to the tackle when he stepped back. He stepped out in a right-hand direction.
But the next moment, Jonker made a light change of direction to the left, and without even changing the speed of the ball, he directly dodged the steal. This scene made Gormohammadi, who was pulled away, feel incredible.
But. Jonker is already dribbling forward and continuing to attack!
After passing Gormo Hamadi, Jonk had already reached five meters in front of the penalty area with the ball, and at this time, two Paraguay had already run over to steal, and Barreto had to follow up, so that the three players could threaten Jonke's dribbling.
It's just a threat.
Before being surrounded, Jonk made a very light pick-and-roll pass. The ball flew straight to Owen's point in the box.
In this way, the wall of the players of the Iranian team. It became useless, and the defense of the penalty area was a little sparse - Ronaldo had only one defender next to him, and after he jumped up slightly, he rubbed his head on the ball, and the football passed to the left side of the penalty area.
There, Deco stepped forward at the right time!
Deco's anticipation and awareness were undoubted, he got the opportunity to meet the ball with a cushion with his foot, and then chose directly in the rhythm Unfortunately, the ball hit the far corner a little wide, although goalkeeper Mirzap failed to touch the ball, but the ball still flew off the bottom line.
However, the fans were excited.
At the beginning, the Portuguese team showed tacit cooperation and strong offensive firepower.
In Portugal's fluid attack, Iran narrowly managed to hold on for the opening 10 minutes.
But as the game progressed, the situation of the Iranian team became more and more critical, and the goal was ethereal, and it seemed that it could be penetrated at any time.
Another attack by Deco.
It was not Jonker who got the ball first, Iran suffered in the opening 10 minutes, preferring to put both sides than expose the middle to let the Portuguese team attack wantonly, and the Iranian team did a very solid job, piling up the number of defenders, so that Jonk had no possibility of receiving the ball at all.
The Portuguese team is not a team of Jonker alone, without Jonker's play, the Portuguese team can still fly on both wings, Ronaldo and Figo are not dry meals, one is the leader of the golden generation, and the other is the latest golden partner.
With Jonk targeted, Deco had no choice but to split the side, and his passing was reasonable and didn't force it.
Chinese fans hate the Iranian team very much, they didn't have a good impression in the first place, and now some people are directly scolding the country!
"Oh yes, do you have to make us unhappy? So many people look at one person, and they have the ability to hand over their girlfriends, and there are still many people! ”
"You can't bring your family, but the Iranian gang is not authentic, so many people don't defend themselves, so they will stare at Jonker alone, I suggest that the comrades of Taobao can develop new products!"
"It's still upstairs smart, and you don't have dirty words when you complain, top you one!"
"Don't make any noise, my daughter-in-law is pinching, it hurts!"
Chinese fans are still hotly discussed, the ball has been handed to Ronaldo's feet, don't look at what he said before the game that there is an injury, muscle fatigue, he is not ambiguous at all when he accelerates the ball, the Iranian fullback is not at all in vain, and he can't keep up with the speed and rhythm of Ronaldo, the gap between the players is too obvious, especially the Portuguese core players are more direct.
There are no fancy movements, it's very simple to accelerate the ball, and there is no defense at all, just like a Ferrari sports car meets a red Xiali, and then give the red Xiali an engine or can't catch up.
After Ronaldo broke through, he directly chose to cut inside, and the defenders who were originally guarding Jonker's side had to be divided into one to intercept.
Jonker, of course, was not idle, wandering back and forth on the offside line, ready to speed forward at any time.
At this time. Ronaldo found another section, Figo, who was in a better position and unguarded, was raising his hand to ask for the ball, and Ronaldo often ran all the way to the black at Manchester United. Media fans also say that he is alone, but in the Portuguese national team, Ronaldo is not alone, it seems that he is more willing to cooperate in the international team, and other players are also more tacit, which may be a habit that he often develops with Jonker in the national team.
Ronaldo passed the ball, Figo raised his foot to unload the ball, and the whole action was unusually smooth. The ball seemed to be on his feet, just in time for the outside of his foot to hit the ground, and it was directly inserted into the penalty area.
Iran's defenders were in complete panic. At this time, who cares if Jonk is a threat or not, Figo is even more scary in front of him, the soul of the Portuguese team in the past, who can underestimate it. The long-range shot that shocked the world at the European Championship is still vivid.
Figo was very calm in the face of the Iranian players who pounced on him. Pretend to shoot, when the opponent turns to block, the outside of the left foot flicks outward, dodges the comer, gets a bigger shooting angle, and then dials, dodges another person, the angle is better!
All the Portuguese fans have already stood up. Looking nervously at the arena, they didn't know what Figo would do next. Shots?
That's right, Figo didn't hesitate any longer, and after dialing the second blocker, the outside of his left foot made solid contact with the outside of the ball, and with a strong spin, the ball soared into the air and drew a strange arc towards the Iranian goal.
Iranian goalkeeper Mirzapur didn't judge the trajectory of the ball at all, and he didn't have the time to judge it anymore, and he flew up completely by feeling.
After he landed, he didn't feel the slightest touch of the ball, and before his body landed, he had already looked into the net, and the ball brought up a burst of net flowers, and he was running around in the net dishonestly.
What does it mean at this moment, just listen to the boiling shouts of the Portuguese fans at the scene, and the ball is in!!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”
If you want to say that you are passionate and have to say that you are a Latin commentator, the long sound of scoring a goal can make every cell in the body of the fans boil, it is really cool, goal, 1:0!
The golden generation's most reluctant Quibao once again opened the door to victory for the Portuguese team!
The Portuguese fans are all crazy, that Figo is back, there is no sign of old age, the years have not made him old, he is still so sharp, this is the wing superstar they will always love.
Jonker ran forward to celebrate the goal, "Luis, come on!" Enjoy it all! ”
He picked up Figo and waited for the arrival of the other players, who were so tall at this moment.
The Iranian players know that they will not reap anything in return for this game, and the rest is more about fighting for the dignity of the country and the dignity of failure.
At the same time, Iranian players should also realize that the Portugal they are facing is not a team of Jonk alone, and defending the opponent's strikers can defuse all the attacks of the Portuguese team, they also have Ronaldo, and the old and strong Figo!
However, if they don't defend Jonk with heavy troops, what can they do?
Gap! An insurmountable gap!
Jonk alone has exhausted them and relaxed their defense? That's looking for death!
At this moment, the players can hesitate, but the Iranian coach on the sidelines cannot hesitate, and must make a decision immediately, of course, the content of the decision is not about the victory or defeat of the game, but the dignity of the country!
Iran coach Ivankovic walked to the sidelines and began to lay out the following defensive strategies for his players.
Scolari didn't have that much to worry about, thinking about how to defend and now he was shaking his fists and celebrating excitedly, leading by one goal in 14 minutes, the soul of the team was excellent, and the rest of the time is for the lads to enjoy the game!
The more relaxed the Portuguese team, the more pleasing they can play football, which has been shown many times in the European Championships, and there have been many golden generations of players who will lead the team to learn to relax in the heat of the game, and today's young Portugal international seems to have not been able to continue the chic and comfortable game of his predecessors, and hopefully from now on, learn to relax in that state. (To be continued......)
