No. 201 The Troubles of Victory

Now, it is noon on the second day after the game, and many fans still feel that the game is like a dream, and they are still replaying it in front of their eyes, Portugal's five goals, and even every detail of the game, are vividly remembered.

Turkey is a new European powerhouse, and before, the Turkish team has been unbeaten in 11 official matches, and it is widely believed that the Turkish team played their own madness in the game in fact, Portugal is difficult to win, although the Portuguese media may not want to admit it, but in the real game, Turkey did give Portugal a lot of challenges.

Although the process was arduous, the final result was satisfactory, and a big victory boosted the morale of the whole Portugal, and Scolari was quite satisfied.

How wonderful it is to start Portugal's European Championship journey with a big victory, the second game of the European Championship played such a heart-wrenching game, which also attracted the attention of many neutral fans in a certain way, of course, the Portuguese national team and Jonk himself benefited the most!

After the game, on the scoreboard of the Geneva Stadium, Portugal's score of 5:3 Turkey seemed so incredible, and even felt a little abnormal...... Is this really our Portugal?

With a sharp attack, tenacious fighting spirit, tenacity, and already excellent skills, such a Portuguese team is definitely worthy of the title of favourite.

Although, statistically, the number of games after the game, the Turkish team is better than Portugal in terms of possession, shots on goal, or the number of goals scored in the front court, which also makes Turkish fans very depressed. Or even unconvinced.

However, the score is 5:3. Eight goals in one game, so many goals. Such a score illustrates a qiē, and it also makes the Portuguese feel proud.

On the second day, the media throughout Portugal were singing the praises of the crazy debut of the Portuguese team.

The BBC's headline read: "Portugal sinks Turkish fleet!" ”

The front page headline of the Daily Mirror read: "Portugal wins for the first time!" ”

The largest page in the Sunday Mail read: "5:3! Crazy victory, Made in Portugal! ”

In addition to the Portuguese and Chinese media singing praises, it belongs to some English media singing fiercely, we can see. The central idea of their report was surprisingly unanimous: the Portuguese media had absolutely no intention of belittling Turkey, and even the BBC used a paragraph to praise Turkey and promote Turkey's strength, and then all the meaning boiled down to the idea - not that Turkey is weak, on the contrary, Turkey is strong, and the reason for this 5:3 victory is this. The reason is simple, but we Portugal are too strong!

Portugal are a world-class powerhouse!!

Therefore, Portugal's 5-3 victory over Turkey is quite normal.

Under the description of the media, Portugal is simply seeing who destroys whom. God blocks the strength of killing gods and Buddhas!!

As for the Portuguese fans, they are used to believing what the media says.

Since the media are saying that Portugal is so strong. And Portugal's 5-3 victory over Turkey was seen by the fans. Then Portugal is really strong, quite strong!

Time. Portugal is full of optimism, as if qualifying from the group is no longer a problem, even the European champions are just a breeze, and the Portuguese can already look forward to the moment when the Portuguese will stand on the podium and hold the European champions high!

Of course, Portuguese fans know who is the biggest contributor to Portugal's 5-3 victory over Turkey -

The head coach of the team, Portuguese Scolari, the team's goalscorer, star Jonker!

In particular, as the only player to score a hat-trick in the first round of the group stage, he quickly became the most talked-about star of this European Championship.

More and more media and fans have begun to recognize the honor of Jonk as one of the top scorers in world football today, and in fact, some media have long begun to say that Jonk is now the top scorer in international football, and there is no one!

The Portuguese media and fans seem to have fully accepted and recognized Jonker, and they also rejoiced and cheered for Jonker's appearance, and Portuguese journalists in Switzerland and Austria also came out to interview some of the stars who are expected to compete for the European Championship Golden Boot at this European Championship.

Nihart faced the camera: "He's great, I've given up on competing for the title of top scorer at this European Championship, as long as the team can win the eventual title, I'm satisfied." ”

Italy's leading centre-forward Toni pointed to the photo of Jonker scoring a hat-trick in Milan Sport newspaper and said, "He's really scary! But what I'm thinking about now is helping Italy score goals and help the team qualify from the group...... Golden Boot? I don't want to ...... these now."

Ibrahimovic was stopped by an excited reporter on the training ground of the Swedish team, and when he was asked this question by the reporters, the Swedish Divine Tower's remarks made the Portuguese not know whether to be happy or what to do, "Jonker's hat-trick? He's got it, I think he's one of the best goalscorers on the planet, and of course, I think I'm one of them......" After a pause, the Swedish Divine Tower smiled and said, "Maybe, there will be a situation where we both win the Golden Boot and Portugal win the European Cup, so it's good!" ”

As soon as Ibrahimovic's words came out, the first to complain was the Swedish fans, who believed that as the team's number one star, Ibrahimovic had 'lost' the confidence to win the European Cup, which was very undeserved.

In this regard, the Swedish god tower, kept silent, his relationship with the Swedish fans has not been good, and he has long had a falling out.

Jonk became the one who was the most important person at the European Championship! He can even be said to be the number one star in the European Cup!

Now, outside the hotel where the Portuguese team is staying, there is a exponential increase in the number of reporters in ambush, all of whom are going to interview Jonker......

5 shots on goal in a game, 4 shots in the woodwork, 3 goals.

That's what Jonker said in the match against Turkey. This report is like a glittering gilded letter. One word stands out: Efficient killer!

In an interview with the media, Scolari also expressed his satisfaction with Jonker. It means that the current Jonk is 'more mature, smarter, and more terrifying'.

In this regard, Jonker also said in an interview with the French newspaper "Team", "I tell myself to cherish every offensive opportunity, as a goalscorer, and waste any assist from my teammates." It's all shameful. ’

The first round of the group stage has passed, and there is basically no big upset, but the group of death in which France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Romania are located is relatively chaotic, and the 0:0 draw between France and Romania is the most boring game in the group stage, and the Netherlands defeated the world champion Italy 3:0, which is even more unexpected for many people.

But. If you want to talk about the first round of the group stage, the most surprising and noteworthy game was the game between Portugal and Turkey 5:3, scoring eight goals in one game. This is arguably unique in the history of the recent editions of the European Championships, and it is a modern football that is based on defense. The number of goals scored in this game is definitely a big exclamation point.

And the Portuguese team also relied on this game. It has attracted the attention of European giants who are likely to win the title, and many managers of teams who may meet Portugal in the future. I have studied the footage of this game more than once.

I believe that the managers who have studied this game have come to a consensus: Jonk is too strong, he is the engine of Portugal's attack!!

Greece coach Rehhagel has studied the footage of the match between Turkey and Portugal many times, and the head coach, known as Otto the Great, is frowning.

In the last European Cup, the Greek team relied on a rock-solid defense, slashed all the way to the sneak attack, killed all the giants, and finally magically reached the top of Europe.

However, Greece is arguably the weakest defending champion in the history of the European Championship, and this was recognized by the media before the start of this tournament.

Greece's first group stage match against Sweden seemed to prove this, and Sweden won the defending champions 2-0 thanks to Ibrahimovic's excellent performance.

This defeat also put the Greek team in a great predicament, which means that the Greek team must defeat Russia and Turkey in the next game, so that they can hold the initiative of promotion in their own hands.

It's just that this is too difficult, even comparable to the miracle of the Greek team winning the last Cup!

Rehhagel knows that the biggest strength of his Greek team is defense, and in the last Cup, the Greek team was able to win the championship by defense.

However, if the Greek team was still mysterious in the last European Cup, the defending champions of this Cup have no secrets for other teams.

And against the Greek team, the teams have long had a recognized plan, that is, to score, only need to score one goal, then the Greek team has no chance, the Greek team's defensive counterattack, in the case of the score behind, lost the biggest threat.

Of course, it will be difficult to score goals for the Greek team, after all, the team's defense is still very good. Although two champion players retired from the back line after the last European Championship, Rehhagel's Greek-style defense is still very effective, which is what Rehhagel is most proud of.

It's just-

Rehhagel looked at the dark-haired star in the video, watching him score the ball into the goal of the world's best Turkish goalkeeper in three ways in a game, and the Greek coach felt that he should be happy, because he did not have much confidence that his team could defend against Jonker, but fortunately such a scorer was in Group A, not Group D.

ON JUNE 11, JONK WAS WEARING SHORTS AND LYING ON A LOUNGER IN THE HOTEL POOL, AND BY HIS SIDE WAS NANA.

In the vicinity of the hotel, there are countless cameras focused on the leisure time of the European Cup's number one star and his girlfriend.

Enjoying the relaxation after the big game, Jonk felt a burst of physical and mental happiness, and had to admit that the European Cup was indeed a wonderful stage, and he brought Jonk an unprecedented feeling.

It's not the same feeling as the Champions Cup, on this stage. Jonk felt more attention, more influence. This made him even more excited to show his football talent. Or to use the saying: Jonk had a great time!!

If the European Championship is still like this, what should the World Cup feel like? Jonk jumped into the pool, backstroked, and looked at the blue sky of Geneva, with white clouds, very beautiful, he thought, the World Cup must be even more beautiful......

JUNKER AND NANA WALKED OUT OF THE HOTEL THAT AFTERNOON. NANA NOW LOOKS VERY STAR-LIKE, AND HER BLACK SUNGLASSES MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SEE HER TRUE EXPRESSION.

The two of them plan to visit the depths of Geneva's foothills, a mountain range deep in the Alps with magical landscapes that are rarely seen anywhere else.

This can be regarded as a rare couple travel action after the competition.

AS SOON AS THEY WALKED OUT OF THE HOTEL, FANS WHO HAD BEEN WAITING OUTSIDE THE HOTEL IMMEDIATELY FLOCKED TO THEM, HOLDING SMALL NOTEBOOKS AND ASKING FOR JUNK'S AUTOGRAPH, AND THE DIGITAL CAMERAS FLASHED CONSTANTLY, MANY OF THEM WERE ATTRACTED BY NANA'S BEAUTY.

Such a fiery scene. Jonk was a little unexpected, he didn't expect that he would be surrounded by fans before he came out of the hotel, according to his assumptions. Just get into the car that Jonk has flown in from Manchester, and you'll be fine.

This enthusiastic scene surprised Jonk. He had no choice but to stop and shake hands with the fans one by one. Take a photo with the fans.

However, there are more and more fans. Seeing that it was about to cause a riot, Jonk and Nana looked at each other helplessly, it seemed that it was impossible to go out today.

At this time, the security guards also arrived, and Jonk had to return to the hotel with Nana, and it seemed that he could only stay in the hotel.

Fortunately, Portugal did not have to rush to catch up with the first two group games, and Portugal's first two games were played in Geneva, which also brought a lot of convenience to the Portuguese team.

Although Scolari asked the team to return to their rooms by 10pm, the players were back at the hotel by 6pm.

At half past six in the evening, the second matchday of Group A will begin, with the players spontaneously watching the game in front of the TV.

"All back?" Scolari was watching the footage of the game, even though he had seen it many times, it was the video of the match between Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

"I'm back." The assistant nodded, he had just walked around outside and saw that the players had already returned to the hotel.

Scolari nodded in satisfaction and continued to ponder, thinking about the match against the Czechs. He asked the players to come back before 10 o'clock, and the players only need to come back before this time, even if someone comes back at 21:59 in the evening, Scolari will not be angry, but seeing the players come back early and be able to watch the game honestly and spontaneously, or just play bridge in the room after coming back, this also makes the madman satisfied, which shows that he has established prestige in this team, and the players are afraid of the manager, although it may not be a good thing, but it is better than disrespecting the manager!

What's more, 'fear', to a certain extent, is awe and respect!

Jonk was lying in his room, watching the TV screen, the match between Switzerland and Turkey was about to start, but Jonker's mind was thinking about the history and origin of the match between Portugal and the Czech Republic that had been introduced by the media.

"The last time the Portuguese won against the Czech Republic was in October 1984......"

Since the breakup of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the Czech Republic and Portugal have only met once, beating Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-finals at Euro 1996. Czechoslovakia and Portugal, which are dominated by Czech players, have met 9 times, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 6 goals. Of these 10 matches, only 1 was a friendly match, and the rest were official matches, so it is more valuable for reference.

Jonk was a little surprised to see the media say this, in his opinion, Portugal's strength is higher than that of the Czech Republic, and he didn't expect that he had not won against the Czech Republic for more than 20 years.

Although Jonk grew up in Europe, he doesn't know much about the history of European football, in fact, the Czech Republic has always been a force to be reckoned with in European football, and even Italy at their peak lost to them when the team was in good form.

At the other end of the couch, Nani leaned back, her mouth not idle. The little fat man likes to snack for 60 minutes. He had half an hour to chew something in his mouth.

"You can eat it. When the time comes, if you are overweight, the boss won't let you play, and it's too late to cry. Jonk glanced at Nani.

"Hapless Swiss." Nani ignored Jonk and pouted.

Hosts Switzerland play Turkey in Basel. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Turkey defeated Switzerland 2-1 to claim their first group victory. In the 31st minute, Hakan Yakin scored for Switzerland; And in the 56th minute of the second half, substitute Sentuk equalized for Turkey. In stoppage time, Turland sealed the win. After this battle. Turkey's points rose to 3 points, while Switzerland's were 0 points, and the hosts became the first team to exit the tournament ahead of the tournament!

"I'm betting we'll be the first team to qualify tomorrow." Jonk said to Jonker, "How's that?" To bet or not to bet? ”

Nani rolled his eyes, he didn't pay attention to Jonker at all, no one is stupid, and besides, they are all Portuguese players, who doesn't want to be the first to qualify, where to bet on the reason that their team will lose.

"If you want to bet, bet on who will score first!" Nani finally came up with a better bet.

"£100." Jonk shook his finger. He's just idle and bored, he doesn't have much interest in gambling, and he doesn't want to gamble with Nani, "It's 100." Love to gamble but not to gamble. ”

I have to admit that Nani's gambling nature is really big, although the little fat man pouts. Apparently thinking Jonker's bet was too trivial, though. Still nodded in agreement.

A £100 bet could motivate two Portuguese attackers to score goals, and it looks like the Portuguese national team is making a lot of money!

Next. It's about to be Portugal's turn to play, and the Czech Republic, which advocates attacking, had a very bad first game, without Rosicky, the core of the midfield, the overall offensive technical content of the Czech Republic has dropped significantly, except for Sionko's breakthrough on the wing, the Czech Republic can only simply look for the top high school striker Jankoller. The easiest way to strengthen the attack is to play a double striker, but Brückner is a single striker against Switzerland, and it is unlikely to take a risk against a stronger Portugal.

The Czech's declining technical prowess meant they struggled to control the ball in midfield against Portugal and could not capitalise on their physical strength, leaving their prospects at risk.

The current Czech team has been reduced to a civilian team, and the biggest star is probably goalkeeper Cech, and Cech will certainly have a heavy task in this game, and his watch will directly determine the outcome of the game.

And Portugal's Jonker and Ronaldo are still the two brightest stars, Ronaldo failed to score in the first round, he will receive more attention in the second round, Jonke's debut hat trick needless to say, Pepe's excellent performance in the first game, people will also put forward higher requirements for Real Madrid's Mr. 30 million.

However, there are good and bad, on paper, Portugal is higher than the Czech team, but there are also more than opponents, and the Portuguese team has been affected by the transfer from top to bottom due to the excellent performance of the first game.

Coach Scolari, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Veloso have been the most affected, and it is not a good thing to be distracted by such an important tournament, and it is said that Ronaldo is a little autistic in the team due to the impact of transfer rumors. Whether or not the transfer really affects the Portuguese team will also be reflected in this game.

While Portugal was preparing for the European Championship, the media in Britain and Spain continued to speculate about the rumors that Cristiano Ronaldo was about to join Real Madrid, and even asked questions about it at the Portuguese team's press conference, which made Scolari extremely angry. At the same time, Ferguson was keen to meet Cristiano Ronaldo in the near future, but the latter refused. Cristiano Ronaldo's explanation for this is that he does not want to be distracted by these transfer rumours during the European Championships.

In fact, Jonk is not a transfer insulator, but before the start of the European Championship, Jonk himself had made it clear that he would not leave Manchester United, but this is not a problem that can be solved by both the player and Manchester United, in fact, Chelsea still have special terms in their hands.

Manchester United are now also worried about whether Chelsea will invoke the clause to put Jonk on the transfer table. (To be continued......)
