Pele was invited by his old friend, the new UEFA president, Michel Platini, to Basel to cheer on the opening match of the European Championships, the match between Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

Pele's man has not yet arrived in Basel, but the predictions about this European Championship that have been uttered in his big mouth have been circulating in the sky of the European Championship like a plague.

Speaking of which, Pele's old football king's crow's mouth is really not covered, every time before the World Series, he can't help but stand up and point out the country, but, unfortunately, all the teams that are strictly concerned by Pele are resolutely not good.

If this is placed in the stock market and invested in reverse, it is an absolutely strong bull stock!

Let's take a look back at the 'glorious past' of Pele's old football king.

1990 World Cup: Pele predicted that Brazil and Yugoslavia were the favorites to win the championship, but Brazil was eliminated by Argentina in the 1/8 finals, and then Yugoslavia was also eliminated by Argentina in the 1/4 finals.

Before the 1992 European Cup, Pele suddenly became madly obsessed with Yugoslavia again, and was loudly optimistic that it would win the European Championship, not wanting Yugoslavia to be banned due to the civil war, and the worst thing was that he was even disqualified, but Denmark came on as a substitute to win the cup in surprise.

1994 World Cup: That year, Pele was obsessed with embroidery, so he was also obsessed with Colombia, which played like embroidery, and even regarded Colombia as the only team that was optimistic about winning the championship; Who knew that Colombia was not only out of the group, but defender Escobar was also killed by perverted fans due to an own goal. The crow's mouth said that everyone was gone.

Euro 1996: Pele is optimistic about Turkey and Italy, but both teams fail to qualify from the group; What a tragic death.

1998 World Cup: Pele was optimistic about Spain that year, but Spain went home after the group stage, and it is said that Raul, the Spanish golden boy, almost cried bitterly and begged Pele to stay in Germany, and the cup was born.

2002 World Cup: At that time, Pele may have already known a little bit of his crow's beak identity, and when predicting the championship, he did not mention the home team Brazil, but praised France and Argentina to the sky, good guys, the two teams died early in the group stage as soon as the words fell, but Brazil finally won the championship. Let all Brazilians be infinitely grateful to Pele for staying in his mouth.

At Euro 2004 in Portugal. Pele also opened the golden mouth again, and the Brazilian king made a prediction about the winner, and he thought that the team that would eventually win the cup would be a surprise. It will be produced in three countries: France, Italy and England. Furthermore. Pele admits that Spain and the Netherlands also have considerable quality to win the championship. At the same time, he thinks. The Czech Republic, who have eight wins and one draw in the group stage and a whopping 23 goals, are likely to be a veritable "dark horse" at this tournament, despite being in the same group as Germany and the Netherlands.

As for whether the host Portugal team can win the championship. According to Pele, it will be up to Figo and Rui Costa to see how well they play. As a result, in that European Cup, there was a Greek myth, all the giants were cupped, and as for Italy and Spain, they did not qualify for the group......

2006 World Cup: That year, Pele first sent the Netherlands to the group of death with Argentina, Ivory Coast, and Serbia and Montenegro in the draw ceremony; Brazil and England were mentioned in the prediction of the winner, and as a result, both teams died in the quarter-finals.

Therefore, based on Pele's brilliant record, this Swiss-Austria European Cup, some powerful giants who have the strength to win the championship hope that this crow's mouth does not say the name of their team, of course, in view of the principle that the opponent's bad luck is their own profit, and they all hope that the name of the potential opponent to win the championship will come out of Pele's mouth.

In the midst of such or such expectations and curses, the old Pele football king lived up to expectations and made a detailed and comprehensive prediction for this European Cup.

All of a sudden, the recruits were like mourners, and those who were lucky not to be affected couldn't help but thank God.

"Please, don't say any more, where are we going to cry."

"It's over, it's over, the French team is finished, Ribery recruited you to provoke you."

"Jonker is always lucky, his old man's mouth, Jonk is the most favorable contender for the Golden Boot!"

"What did Scolari do earlier? Why didn't you call Bailey earlier? For the sake of your compatriots, shut up Pele! ”

"Italy is still a! You can wash and sleep. ”

These remarks were excerpted from the forums of the European Championship, which appeared after Pele publicly claimed that France, Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands would be the favorites to win the European Championship not long ago.

Although this is only the voice of some fans, I believe it can also represent the voice of the vast majority of the supporters of the above four teams, and it is no exaggeration to say that because Pele is a well-known crow's mouth, he predicted before the previous tournaments which team will win the championship and which team will die miserably, so whether it is France or Portugal or Italy or the Netherlands, fans in these countries may have the urge to hit their heads against the south wall.

In all fairness, this qiē is actually no wonder Mr. Pele, who made the French team claim to have the tightest defense in Europe, and Domenech claimed that the French team has completed the replacement of the old and the new very well, and is still the third place in the 2006 World Cup, who made the Dutch team in the qualifiers unlimited, see who destroys whom. Who made Portugal have a Pele think a manager to top the top half of the team's championship coach Scolari?

Since the strength of the team is so strong, even if Pele doesn't open this golden mouth, these four teams will definitely be the favorites to win the championship in the eyes of the world.

It's just because, the same prediction came out of Bailey's mouth, and the taste immediately changed. Many times, if others can say, it is really inconvenient for Comrade Pele to declare it with great fanfare, because he is so decrepit, and the decline makes people feel that the three World Cup championships in the player era may have relied on character, and at that time his character was exhausted.

However, what makes everyone feel strange is that in the list of the top four of this European Championship that Pele said. There is no European giant, England, and Spain, the bullfighter who is the favorite every year, and the German chariot, which is known as the iron will.

The Portuguese national team arrived in Switzerland the day before yesterday, but the Portuguese who have left home do not feel left out in the slightest. At the Neuchâtel training base, the Portuguese team still has a large crowd of passionate fans.

At 4:30 p.m. local time yesterday, the Portuguese team had a lively training session at the Maradiere Stadium in Neuchâtel. During the hour-long open training session, nearly 12,000 fans paid out of their own pockets to get a glimpse of the Portuguese stars.

In fact, on the first day of the Portuguese team's arrival in Neuchâtel, their bus was welcomed into the hotel by flag-waving fans. Almost 10,000 Portuguese fans gathered in the streets around the hotel early in the morning. Waiting for the arrival of the beloved team. And the Portuguese players also enjoyed such a warm welcome. They waved to the fans on the bus. Subsequently. And on the terrace of the hotel, he waved to the crazy fans.

Therefore, in order to repay the enthusiastic support of the fans, there will be a section of the Portuguese team's training program that will be sold publicly. Of course. Watch idols train up close. Fans must purchase tickets worth 15 Swiss francs (14.42 euros). Portugal's attempt was met with an enthusiastic response.

12,000 tickets sold out. And in the hands of scalpers, the one-hour training session ticket has been quadrupled like crazy. It seems that the open training session has not only driven the Portuguese fans crazy. It made the Portuguese team a lot of money.

'I think we're probably the only team out of the 16 teams in the European Championship that train in front of so many people. Said an official within the Portuguese team. This Sunday, they are planning another openly-ticketed training session. At the same time, having so many passionate fans has also made the Portuguese team more vigilant when it comes to security. Around the hotel where the Portuguese team is staying, boundaries have been set up and no one is allowed to approach the team.

In Switzerland, approximately 174,000 Portuguese citizens live. Most of them live in the French-speaking region, and it was they who flocked to the airport to welcome Scolari's team. Many fans waited for hours at Geneva airport to see the hero in their eyes. More fans stood on the sides of the street, waving Portuguese flags to the team buses heading to the Neuchâtel training base.

Around 600 fans arrived at the Neuchâtel training base on motorbikes with the team bus. And there, about 10,000 fans are waiting for their heroes.

"We knew that the local Portuguese immigrants would definitely welcome us, but it was completely beyond our expectations," Madair said. "It's something I'll never forget. Now, of course, we need to refocus our attention on the first match against Turkey. "And the match will be officially played in Geneva this Saturday.

If the Portuguese players thought their welcome in the small town of Neuchâtel was not very warm, they must have changed their minds now, especially after their second training session in Switzerland.

When they arrived in the Swiss town of Neuchâtel last Sunday evening, around 10,000 fans attended the welcoming ceremony. And when Scolari and his players stepped into the training ground on Tuesday, they found more than 12,000 fans in the stands waiting for their practice. They came from Switzerland, Germany and France, and the atmosphere was like a carnival, and the frenzy was breathtaking.

Scolari and his players were also touched by such a large fan group, and applauded and thanked the fans for their support.

Of course, the biggest cheers must have been given to the quasi-"Golden Ball" Jonker and the other C-Ronaldo in the golden partner. Jonker was also chosen as one of Portugal's five captains due to his growing influence.

In order to repay the on-site support of the fans, the Portuguese team also specially organized a confrontation match within the team. With the exception of No. 3 goalkeeper Patricio, the other 22 players all made their debuts.

Brazil coach Scolari was the referee so that he could stop at any time to explain the tactics. Of course, this doesn't mean that the players on the field just go through the motions. When Jonker shook off the goalkeeper and smashed the ball into the empty net, all was seen Ricardo's fingers shaking from side to side and his shouts of protest against the goal.

It wasn't long before fans saw the opportunity they had been waiting for.

Cristiano Ronaldo stands in front of the ball in an inherent way. He blasted Ricciardo's door open with a pinpoint free-kick, and even the sudden rain did not dampen Scolari's determination to continue the second half of the match.

In order to test the effect, he also made corresponding adjustments to the formation. He put Jonker alone on the front line, and let Ronaldo and Simão be behind Jonker and separate.

Although Scolari will continue his first-half formation in official matches, the only thing that does not become the support of the fans will be for them. Even though many of the fans are in the country, their support for Portugal remains the same: "The farther away they get, the stronger our support for them becomes. "I believe that for the sake of these lovely fans, Portugal will also do their best in this cup. To make up for the regret of fighting at home 4 years ago.

The Portuguese national team embarked on a journey of up to a month. Scolari would certainly like the journey to be as long as possible, but others don't necessarily think so – the players' girlfriends and wives.

In every tournament, the wives are a beautiful sight, and Scolari is the wall that prevents the players from enjoying the scenery. The Brazilian coach has been the number one enemy of the Brazilian team since he took charge of the Brazilian national team. During the 2002 World Cup, he warned the Brazilian players: "You only have one choice. I've lived with them all the time or with them all the time. ”

In the 2006 World Cup, Scolari set the rule early on that the wife group should not be near the Portuguese team's residence. This ban is also valid for this European Championship.

"He's an out-and-out old diehard in that regard." Central defender Carvalho said with a smile. He revealed that Scolari had blown the wind on the "dangerous elements" in the team one by one, warning them not to take chances and sneak out to meet his girlfriend or wife.

Who are the dangerous elements? Carvalho laughed and didn't answer: "I'm not among them anyway." Several Portuguese media outlets have speculated, with C. Ronaldo's name being the most selected - two years ago, his passionate ex-girlfriend Romero gave Scolari a headache for a while.

Scolari's reason is strong: "Have you ever seen a soldier who took his wife to the barracks?" "In his opinion, I don't do any good to prepare for the game, it will only make the players nervous.

'It's not like the league, once you make a mistake you don't have a chance to make up for it, so I need the players to stay focused at all times. The head coach retorted mercilessly, "Romario said that being with a woman before the game would make him feel better? It's a joke. If you ask him how he got to the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Zagallo is stricter than me. ”

Of course, Scolari is not unapproachable at all, and he says he will give his players a free day if the team can reach the knockout rounds. "It was a completely free day for them, and I wouldn't send someone to follow them behind their backs, nor would I ask them to call me every 20 minutes." The head coach sneered with a straight face, "They can do anything during that day, including those that I'm not interested in at all." ”

The European Championship is getting closer and closer, and fans are in for a hot summer.

When it comes to this European Championship, everyone will first think of Group C, known as the "Group of Death", in fact, although the teams in Group A are slightly less famous and of average level, due to their close strength, this group will be no less competitive than Group C.

Portugal were runners-up in the last European Championship and the final winner of the 2006 World Cup in Germany; The Czech Republic has been famous since Euro 1996 and reached the semi-finals of the last European Championship. Turkey also reached the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan; Switzerland, one of the hosts of the tournament and reaching the round of 16 at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, failed to go further only after a penalty shoot-out defeat.

Portugal is a team that pays a lot of attention to the whole, and one of the characteristics of the team is the solidity of the back. After Costa and other famous players withdrew from the national team, Deco from Barcelona has taken on the important task of regulating the midfield and organizing the attack, and Ronaldo, Simao, Nani and others are world-class wingers.

One squad plays the world, which is the biggest problem Portugal faces, especially up front. Without Jonker, there is basically no substitute of the same level to choose from.

Scolari has to use Jork well and protect Jork so that the Portuguese national team can go further.

The Czechs are a bit underwhelmed. After Nedved withdrew from the national team and Rossiki was sidelined with an injury, the Czech midfielders were old and small, and it was difficult for them to take on heavy responsibilities in the tournament. In the forward line, Kohler is already "cheap and old", Barosz's regression is amazing, and the future of the Czech team is not optimistic.

Turkey coach Trim made up his mind this time and abandoned the veteran Suker, which is an important sign of the team's development towards youth. The Turkish team is characterized by elusive form. When you play well, you can see that everyone has a fight. There is no hope of beating anyone when they play poorly, and now it is estimated that even they themselves do not know how far they can go.

The Swiss team is mainly composed of "football immigrants" from various countries, most of whom play in the Bundesliga, so the team has a bit of a "German color". The Swiss team has a certain discipline in attack and defense. In Europe, it is not the best of the best. But the strength of the front, middle and back three lines of the team is average. Coupled with the advantage of the host, it should be regarded as a "hard bone" in Group A.

In Group A of the 2008 European Championships, it is highly likely that the three big coaches will besiege the host Swiss team. Although Swiss coach Kuhn is not as famous as Portugal's Scolari. Brückner of the Czech Republic and Trim of Turkey, but his goal is to at least reach the knockout rounds.

As the energy of the host team in football tournaments cannot be underestimated, his Switzerland team will be taken seriously by the other three teams in the three rounds of competition.

Portugal's Brazilian coach Scolari has a brilliant record, in the 2002 World Cup he used his powerful 3R tactics to bring Brazil to the "five crowns" throne, in the last European Championship he also led Portugal all the way to the final to win the runner-up, and then in the 2006 World Cup in Germany he led the team to eliminate the Netherlands, England to reach the semi-finals, and finally won Italy to win the World Cup, which is enough to make him a meritorious coach of Brazil and Portugal.

However, Scolari is also known for his violent temper, and his excitement on the sidelines during games often becomes the focus of the camera. At this point, we have to mention the new boxing of "Big Phil", who was extremely dissatisfied with the referee's decision in the Portugal vs Serbia match in this European Championship qualifier, and then threw a beautiful straight punch at the opposing player Dragutinovic near the touchline, and in that moment he seemed to become a boxing coach, which was jaw-dropping.

Scolari suffered in qualifying, losing to Poland and drawing with Armenia. But "Big Phil" had a similar experience when he led the Brazilian team: before the 2002 World Cup, the Brazilian team barely reached the finals under his leadership, but eventually won the championship. This year's European Championship Scolari will lead a new team composed of new stars such as Jonck, C. Ronaldo, Nani and Quaresma.

The most striking feature of the Czech boss Brückner is his shiny white hair, and in public, the old man who always wears a suit and leather shoes looks so elegant, much like a knowledgeable university professor or a band conductor. In the Czech Republic he had the nickname "Krachi. Petra", a character in a popular Czech TV series - an American teacher, and Brückner and Petra are very similar in appearance.

Beneath Brückner's elegant exterior lies a passionate heart, and one need only look at the Czech team's willingness to play against any opponent shows that the veteran coach who led the Czech team to shine in the last European Championship has a strong belief in attacking football. The Czech Republic in Portugal went all the way to the top, winning three of their three group games, including a 3-2 win over the Netherlands, a stunning 2-1 win over Germany in the second tier, and then a 3-0 win over Denmark before being beaten in the semi-finals by a perfectly defended Greece with the "Silver Ball".

At the World Cup in Germany, the Czech Republic defeated the United States 3-0 before losing to Ghana and Italy in succession. But Brückner did not choose to say goodbye, he led the Czech Republic to beat the German team to top the group in this European Championship qualifier, and once again sent the Germans a 3:0, Brückner has almost become synonymous with beautiful football.

Nicknamed "Emperor" by the fans, he led Galatasaray to four Turkish league titles and a UEFA Cup in the 90s, before being invited to Italy to coach Fiorentina and AC Milan, a nickname that celebrates that glorious period.

Kuhn has been in charge of the Swiss team for seven years since he took over in 2001, but he is not well-known but has led the Swiss team to the 2004 European Championship and the 2006 World Cup in a row with a steady style, and the veteran's most ace weapon is the team's solid defence, a defensive line that worries most teams.

The four fighting methods don't know who can have the last laugh! (To be continued......)
