Frankfurt train station was transformed into a red and green extravaganza overnight. Since the flags of Portugal and Iran are mainly red and green, it is difficult to distinguish the fan camps in the stadium for a while.

There are not many Iranian immigrants in Germany, and about 20,000 of the 200,000 Iranians in Germany live in Frankfurt.

In contrast, Portuguese fans are more low-key and calm. Arriving in Eintracht Frankfurt in twos and threes, they don't make as loud noises as the Iranian fans, and even when they do, the Portuguese fans are more focused on their individual performances. Unlike Iranian fans, who waved the national flag and shouted that Iran would win the whole game.

After 90 minutes, the Iranian fans watched as the team had been eliminated, but they had been standing in the stands to give their team the loudest applause. The tears of a sad Persian female fan even touched the Portuguese fans not far away, who stopped shouting to comfort the fan.

In the game, the Iranians defended frantically, and even did not hesitate to use rough movements, knocking down Figo again and again, focusing on tackling Jonker, in order to get a moment of peace in front of the goal. But the temporary peace they had bought with their flesh and fame was suddenly shattered by Deco.

Dayi, who did not play in this game, looked blank on the bench, this will be the 35-year-old veteran's last World Cup, at the moment of the final whistle, Dai looked up to the sky and roared, his last World Cup was said goodbye in this way. Coach Ivankovic still maintained his demeanor and stepped forward to comfort the players. The players were expressionless as they packed their things, and no player cried, because the result had been expected for a long time.

The last game. For the Iranians, it's just a routine.

When it comes to the third round of the group stage, the most important thing for Portugal is to look at the opponent.

Portugal's match with Mexico in the third round will decide Portugal's opponents in the quarter-finals - the Netherlands or Argentina, but because the match between those two teams is five hours later than Portugal's game, Portugal will not be able to pick an opponent whether they win the group or not.

on this. Scolari turned passive into active - coming off the bench in the third game, and the main force was kept in the knockout round.

According to the schedule, the match between the Netherlands and Argentina kicks off five hours after Portugal's match against Mexico at 9 a.m. on June 21. This also means that the Netherlands and Argentina really have the right to choose their opponents. In response, Scolari said: "It doesn't make sense at all to say which team we would prefer to play against right now. We just have to face every game and give it our all to win. ”

"Next round against Mexico? I think we might have some rest for the players. Especially those who have some injuries or yellow cards can consider rotation. I don't think we're going to push too hard. You must know that what awaits us below the road is a cruel knockout round. Scolari has hinted to the media that he may not send Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco in the next game, and Jonk will have the option to use them.

In addition, he also said that he does not want players with yellow cards to play, "If you miss the knockout round, it is not good news for Portugal." Scolari says he hopes to have a full, strong Portugal squad in the knockout rounds.

Mexico is currently behind Portugal by 2 points. Angola have a point, while Iran are bottom of the table with zero points from both defeats. Compared to the Portuguese team that does not care about the result of the third round of matches. Mexico was not so lucky.

In the event of a draw in the last game, Mexico will have a five-point advantage to secure qualification from the group. If Mexico loses to Portugal and Angola wins, the two teams will have a goal difference, which is naturally a situation that the Mexicans do not want. 'Against Portugal, we will try to get a win and not just a draw, so that our destiny is in our own hands. Osorio said.

Thankfully, number one striker Borgetty, who was injured in the opening game, has been able to do some jogging-like activities, and his availability for the final game against Portugal in the group stage is subject to recovery. "Today I was back in the team, but I still can't do anything." Borgeti said.

And just when the Portuguese players were still immersed in a rare free life, the whole world began to report wildly about the second round of the group stage.

On German TV, there is a TV program that looks back at the World Cup, this TV program is dedicated to the most influential comprehensive channel, and the highlights of the matches prepared for the World Cup match every day, the second round of the World Cup between Portugal and Iran, which just ended yesterday, has of course become the focus of the program.

Since the start of the game, the second big score will naturally become the game that the experts invited by the program team pay attention to, and the program will analyze the game from a professional point of view.

After the analysis, the host of the show began to summarize the ability and comparison of the players of the two teams, and the Portuguese team, who scored seven goals in the game, was unanimously praised by the experts present.

However, in the program, the host first made an analysis of the Portuguese team's backline.

Portugal's backline is too far behind the performance of the front, which is obvious to fans and media all over the world, and the host of the show also said so.

Portugal's backline ability is still slightly insufficient, from Iran's several counterattacks we see that the Portuguese team's players' defensive formation always has this open, which allows the Iranian team to find several good opportunities, although only one goal is a pity, but I still have to say that Portugal's backline ability is not very good, their players are not tightly coordinated between the positions, Scolari did not play a very good role in the pre-match training camp.

In short, the nameplate of the strong offensive and weak defense is counted as brought to the Portuguese team!

In fact, although the individual ability of the defender on the football field is very important, the running awareness and team cooperation are also extremely important. They can easily create chances for their own side by pulling up space with their passes.

At this time, it is necessary for the defenders to run and defend in a targeted manner.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is to praise Portugal's attacking line.

The first thing to be focused on by the show was Figo, the captain of the Portuguese team.

Forty years later, Portugal was once again in the group at the World Cup. And the 33-year-old Figo finally proved that his role in the team has returned to the peak of "irreplaceable" after participating in the World Cup again.

"Old" Figo once again went to the country, and it was difficult to expect high hopes for him at first, but the World Cup continued to show a true meaning - life is far wiser than us - in his last World Cup, Figo took the captain's armband and successfully took on a heavier responsibility than four years ago.

In the first 1-0 win over Agora, Figo set up team-mate Pauletta for a goal after just five minutes of the opening game. Portugal eventually won their first game with this goal.

In Eintracht Frankfurt's match against Iran, Figo played his 122nd game for the national team. The most stumbling World Cup of his life continued to be spectacular, with both of Portugal's goals directly linked to the veteran's head, and it was his cross from the left that gave Deco the chance to score the first goal. Another break from the right forced the Iranian player to foul in the box and Figo won another penalty for Portugal. Extend the winning streak to 2-0.

Figo's experience with the national team began back in 1991. During his 16-year international career, Figo competed in three European Championships and one World Cup. As a world-class midfielder, Figo has a very simple style of play, and his ball-handling skills are superb, and he never gets tired on the field. The match against Iran once again confirmed that Figo is a man who can change the game by himself.

Although they have not been on the scorer list so far, everyone must admit that Portugal cannot do without Figo. After many years, he successfully reached the semi-finals again, and the veteran, who returned at the last moment, is an absolute "hero behind the scenes".

Participating in this World Cup is not in Figo's plans. As early as two years ago, after the European Championships, Figo had already married another veteran of the "Golden Generation", Rui Brown. Together, Costa announced his retirement from the national team. For a while, Figo's performances made it seem inevitable that the former "World Footballer of the Year" would be a natural trend, but last summer, Figo made the switch from La Liga giants to Inter Milan, and during a season in Italy, he found his form and maintained it very well.

Scolari, the wise boss who took over Portugal and decided that Figo was indispensable to the team, re-convinced the veteran to return to the national team, and Strarry was precise: "I think he is even better than he was two years ago. ”

Portugal's main midfielder Costinha said at this tournament: "Figo is a player who surprised me and when I came to the team I was impressed by his super professionalism. At his age, he's not getting old at all, he's still in the same good shape as he was when he was younger, which is great news for Portugal. ”

Figo's last World Cup has made a wonderful start, and the rest of the world is still worth looking forward to.

As for Jonke, the host of the show only used a few words to evaluate, and when translated into Chinese, no one can stop it!

Under the eyes of fans all over the world, Jonker's performance is obvious to all, almost half of the Iranian team's defensive strength is focused on him, but even so, Jonk still played with Iranian players again and again, and contributed two goals and an assist, which can no longer be described as excellent.

Obviously, other media also see it this way, for example, the German newspaper "Kicker" used the headline of the article "No one can stop the successor of the new century".

In the article, they pointed out that Portugal's No. 25 brunette has surpassed the world's highest level stars by a whole notch, whether it is the outstanding Ronaldo in 2002 or the shining Zidane in the World Cup in 98, compared to Jonker, he will immediately be overshadowed.

For the first time in the world's media, the adjective such as the successor of the king of the ball appeared in the report of Jonker.

With the progress of the World Realm Cup, Jonk is already hot and can't be more popular.

No matter what the outside world says, the person in question, Jonk, after a day's vacation, has to move with the large army to Gelsenkirchen.

Gelsenkirchen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located in the northern part of the Ruhr area, where its population was 274,926 on 31 December 2002.

During the period of Nazi rule in Germany. Due to its location in the heart of the Ruhr region, Gelsenkirchen became the industrial center of World War II.

Two synagogues in Gelsenkirchen were destroyed on Kristallnacht in November 1938. One in Jubois was burned down, as was another in the lower town of Gelsenkirchen. Exactly 66 years later. Construction of a new synagogue began there. The city's Historical Society has also set up a historical website: 'Gelsenkirchen during National Socialism'.

Having said that, many people are still not familiar with this city, but when it comes to the Bundesliga team that their city represents, people will suddenly become clear - Schalke 04.

Arriving in a brand new city, many Portuguese players are very curious, and many of the players in the team have a great curiosity about this city that they have never heard of.

The city is not a lonely industrial city, imaginarily dilapidated. There is no hustle and bustle of a historical town, it is a very clean and quiet city, and the whole city seems to be surrounded by greenery.

Upon arrival. During the short break, several Portuguese players wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go out and have a look, but of course these are all players whom Scolari has made clear at the press conference that he will not play, which is also strange to say. Such an old industrial city. It feels peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle!

Jonk, Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, plus a somewhat misfit Deco, this is the first time Deco has participated in a small internal event.

Portugal's trip to the World Cup in Germany was a complete circle in the east-central part of Germany, and it was not too far, from Cologne in the east to Frankfurt in the middle, and then back to the eastern city of Gelsenkirchen.

A few people walked on the street and there were not many pedestrians. However, many Portuguese fans have already arrived early to watch the third round of the group stage.

The group of four finally regretted that they didn't cover it and went out. Fans quickly recognized several people and came forward to ask for a group photo and autographs.

Fans from other countries can still deal with it, and the sudden appearance of Chinese fans made the scene a little chaotic.

First screaming, then rushing up, all gathered around Jonker, and looked at the others as if they were nothing.

"Jonk, sign me!"

"Sign here, go back and envy them to death!"

"Eggplant, yes!"

originally wanted to hang out, but it became a small Huaxia fan meeting for Jonke.

However, it's strange why there are so many Chinese fans all of a sudden.

In a brief conversation, Jonk also figured out that this was a football viewing activity specially organized by the European Chinese Alumni Association.

I didn't get tickets for the first two games, and I had the opportunity to watch the game in the third game.

Ronaldo is especially envious of Jonker, saying that Chinese girls are shy, why didn't they see it today, and there is a Jonker who gnawed without saying a word, and signed while wiping saliva, which is also pitiful.

After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, how many people exchanged a look, and still didn't go shopping?

the! If you come back and bring the media, it will be troublesome, so let's go back to the hotel honestly!

I think about it very well, Ji Lu can't catch up with the changes, but Deco is still so low-key and doesn't speak, except for a few occasional sneaking fun, there is no expression in the whole process, this character is really a big problem!

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't want the party to end so quickly, he proposed to have a drink and watch the game, and there was nothing to do when he went back anyway.

Figo is still playing live, but no one responds, who told him to win too hard for the first time, and make himself alone in the Portuguese team!

How can you miss a beer in Germany!

Of course, in the perception of Europeans, beer is similar to a drink, and it is not alcohol.

One person has a glass of German stout, waiting for the game to begin.

England vs. Sweden, the focus of Group B, several people were not idle before the start of the game, Jonk and Ronaldo are optimistic about England winning, Figo is optimistic about Sweden, only Deco said that the two teams drew and qualified together.

The 100 euro jackpot for one person is all entertainment.

In the 2nd minute of the first half of the game, when Michael. After Owen was sprained his right knee by himself, England fans and media couldn't believe what was happening, and in just two minutes, the long-awaited forward combination of strikers was ruined. When Crouch replaced Owen, the scene of the European Championship in Portugal seemed to be back in front of people.

At that time, Rooney was replaced by Rui. Costa stepped on the field and it was a turning point in normal play. All this today. Seems to be coming faster.

Fans and television media at the scene were hoping that Owen's injury would not affect his future games, but unfortunately, the England team doctor concluded that it could be a cruciate ligament sprain. This injury is the same injury that tormented the alien Ronaldo back then.

England without Owen seemed to be back to the old routine of the previous two games, only this time it was Wayne Rooney for the speed breakaway and Crouch for the aerial work.

ITV commented: Sweden's attack is very consistent, and England's desire to try new attacking combinations has completely failed, maybe everything is providential, since God has arranged it, maybe Crouch is the one who can bring us back the Gold Cup?

England played back in the first half of the previous two games. In terms of content, there is basically no change.

Joe Cole still looked a little sticky, Frank Lampard's long-range shot lacked angle and Wayne Rooney couldn't get on the spot. Crouch will be fouled when he grabs a point. Not only that, but Beckham basically didn't send a right-footed curling ball in the first half, but Sweden's counter-attack was impressive, with Larsson and Ljungberg always in dangerous positions. It doesn't feel very safe at the back of the England team.

Then the unbelievable scene came in the 36th minute. Joe Cole's superb long-range shot from 35 yards in front of the opposition penalty area broke the back of the net in one fell swoop.

The goal sparked a chorus of applause from the English media, leaving not only the Swedes stunned, but also the England fans barely believing their eyes.

BBC commentator Dawson said: What kind of goal it was, we would like to thank Joe Cole first of all for giving the fans of the world the most beautiful long-range shot since the start of the World Cup. Then let's analyze the ball. It's a textbook downspin ball, and I would say that there is certainly a bit of luck in it, but it's definitely not mixed up.

Judging from the TV screen. Joe Cole didn't get a pass on his feet, but pulled out and prepared to shoot. And Joe Cole's footwork is very precise. He has a good grasp of this ball, the trajectory of the ball is very beautiful, the arc in the air changes 2 times, we can see that it is a spiral ball, in my impression, only Robert. Carlos' powerful free kick by this effect.

The Portuguese players watching the game all eyes on Jonker!

"That kid steals the teacher, but the strength is a little worse!"

Hearing Jonk's comment, several people didn't speak, but they were muttering in their hearts, who can compare with your pervert!

It should be said that without Joe Cole's stunning long-range shot in the first half, England's performance would not have been satisfactory. In the second half, the Swedes apparently got the news that Paraguay were leading 1-0 on the other field, and in order to save themselves, they launched a siege on the England team.

Sky Sports commentator David. Jones said: Sweden is physically strong, England is at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, and in order to ensure the smooth progress of the next game, Frank Lampard and Crouch, who have a yellow card, dare not fully spell out, especially Crouch, who has not had the courage to fight for the top when defending several times, so his height advantage cannot be shown at all. Terry, meanwhile, was in good form with a couple of saves, while Rio Ferdinand didn't seem to be in good form today.

Sure enough, in the 52nd minute of the second half, Sweden's repeated attacks caused a series of corner kicks, and Auerbach scored with a header in front of the store. And this goal was unanimously criticized by the English media, before Albach grabbed the point, there was no tall defender to fill the position, and the highest height of the England team, Crouch, had obviously withdrawn to the penalty area to defend at this time, but did not jump up to block the route of the ball.

The BBC said what happened to England in the first half was so bizarre that it was probably far beyond the players' comprehension, so when Owen was injured and Joe Cole scored, it was as if the kids wouldn't play all of a sudden.

England fell into an inexplicable panic in the second half, first the Swedish team tied the score with a corner kick, and just when it was thought that the two sides might tacitly draw together, the Swedish team launched wave after wave of attacks, and the England team was more like a defensive counter-attacking team, suppressed by the Swedish team in their own half. After Gerrard replaced Wayne Rooney, England played as a double centre-forward and completely lost their counter-attacking speed. The game turned completely boring.

Steven Gerrard had said before the game that he would accept the order to sit on the cold bench and accept the yellow card, but he was ready to prove himself and he did.

BBC commentator Dawson was the last to say: "Numerous facts have now shown that Eriksen was a bad guy, and his pre-match rhetoric now looks more like gibberish. Yes, Steven Gerrard scored, it was Christian Eriksen who replaced him, but would Rooney have been replaced if he hadn't just recovered from injury? He's not like the England manager today, the England coach today is God. (To be continued......)
