Midfielder.

Chapter 184

The gunpowder in the transfer market is still lingering, but this summer, this is by no means the place that attracts the most attention. The European Championship held in Portugal is the stage that attracts the most attention, but this represents the highest European national football team. The horizontal battlefield did not leave Lin Yi's footprints.

Anyway, regardless of whether Scolari is using this method to maintain the authority of his national team coach, Lin Yi can only be a spectator this time.

For Scolari's behavior, Mourinho seemed a bit disdainful, at least in the eyes of people like him who only pursued victory, it was stupid to do so.

"I will not let go of any opportunity to strengthen my team, but some people just like to use this way to flaunt their authority."

Mourinho himself is absolutely not afraid of offending Scolari. Anyway, the intersection between these two people is pitiful. One is the boss of the national team and the other is the head coach of the club. It was this time that the issue of Lin Yi's use broke out.

Scolari just insisted not to use it, and Mourinho just used his guns and sticks in newspapers and interviews to damage the authority of the Brazilian old man.

Anyway, on the issue of whether Lin Yi wants to join the national team, the Porto people are on Mourinho's side, even if he is no longer the head coach of Porto, but for this guy who is like a king in Porto, this What the city shows is only the worship from the bottom of the heart.

In addition, the Porto people really don't like an old Brazilian man who rejects their own city mascot, and even feel a little disgusted.

Although Mourinho and Scolari were tit-for-tat, Lin Yi, who was at the center of the incident, kept silent to any interviewer and avoided talking about it.

The main reason is that Lin Yi thinks that arguing about something that can no longer be changed is not worth the gain, and he doesn't want to fight this kind of verbal war with the other party.

Anyway, since the Brazilian old man thinks that he is not suitable for this team now, then Lin Yi has nothing to say, anyway, the facts will tell everything.

At least Lin Yi will not think that he is not qualified to win a place in the national team, but now, the national team has not ushered in his era.

Lin Yi, who shines in the Champions League, can only sit in the stands of the Stadium of Light in Lisbon at the moment, watching the 22 people on the field.

Lin Yi was not invited by the organizing committee, so he just sat in the most ordinary seats with Mourinho and the others, surrounded by crazy fans.

Fortunately, this is Lisbon, and there won't be too many fans around Lin Yi asking for autographs, but even so, Lin Yi has been busy for nearly an hour.

No wonder, with him and Mourinho, these two people are the most popular figures in the transfer market now, it is strange that no one pays attention.

The commotion caused by Lin Yi made the TV camera keep capturing his every move. This kind of blatant spying made Lin Yi very uncomfortable.

But he and Mourinho, who couldn't resist the temptation of the final, could only endure this kind of harassment. Fortunately, the entrance ceremony started in time, which saved the pair of beasts.

The entrance ceremony of the two teams and the arrival of the trophy finally made those damn TV broadcast shots leave Lin Yi and Mourinho's side.

However, before the camera left, Mourinho and Scolari were deliberately given a close-up of each of them. The meaning of this is self-evident.

The most appealing coach in this arena is not Mourinho, but the tough Brazilian Scolari, because this guy brought the Portuguese team to the final of the European Cup, which is very important to those Portuguese For me, it was a crazy experience, really going crazy.

Maybe even Scolari didn't expect to reach the final, but this is reality. They made history in this European Championship held in their home country.

They won Spain, the Netherlands, and England. Usually, this is something they could not have imagined, but this time, it has become a reality. They even survived to the end in the penalty shootout. Their opponents in the final were just a group of strong Greeks.

"Get rid of those Greeks! Keep the European Cup in our country!" The almost crazy shouts of the Portuguese spread throughout the Stadium of Light.

In fact, Lin Yi didn't want to sit in the stands and become the target of others' attention, but such a top-level football event did have a fatal temptation.

And that guy Ronaldo called more than once to urge Lin Yi to come and watch their game live, especially after the Portuguese team reached the final.

It can be seen that Ronaldo just wants to regain some face in front of Lin Yi. He lost the two games in the Champions League in the club confrontation, and now he wants to regain it in the European Cup. Especially when Portugal has the opportunity to lift the European Cup, he really wants to show off.

Knowing that he might be the starter, this guy even sent two tickets to Lin Yi, as if he was afraid that Lin Yi would not come.

"You have already won the Champions League for Portugal, so this time, you come to the Stadium of Light to see how I won the European Cup for the national team."

This guy who went out from Lisbon, this time it can be regarded as a real home game, he wants to thoroughly prove his strength in front of Lin Yi.

"It's an idiot's idea." Although Lin Yi despised Ronaldo's 2-way approach, he finally decided to go to the scene to watch the game in person.

Of course, he didn't want to look at that idiot Ronaldo. Lin Yi still treats this defeated player with contempt.

According to Mendes, they are a pair of natural enemies, and the contest between these two boys may last throughout their football careers.

However, the performance of the little Argentine in Barcelona is also very dazzling recently. Maybe in the future, European football will be a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Although Lin Yi was invited by Ronaldo this time, what moved him in the end was the atmosphere on the field. The taste of the decisive battle was very attractive.

The European Cup, which was still held in Portugal's homeland, was able to reach the final in one fell swoop. Lin Yi was also a little bit infected by the atmosphere around the Stadium of Light at the moment.

"If this was my stage, I really don't know what it would be like." Lin Yi muttered softly as he sat beside Mourinho.

"You still have opportunities. At your current age, you can still participate in at least three European Cups. Don't envy the guys on the field. In my opinion, this game is not as easy as those critics predicted. Those guys The fierce Greeks are definitely not that easy to deal with."

Mourinho and Lin Yi did not speak loudly, but his calm expression formed a stark contrast with the fanaticism of the fans around him.

Lin Yi had long been used to the uncle around him always singing against others, but this time, he seemed to smell danger from those Greeks.

Compared with the excited expressions of the Portuguese players when they came out, those Greeks looked too calm, as if this game was not a decisive battle.

This reminded Lin Yi of the feeling that Porto had felt when he stepped onto the turf at the Schalke Stadium more than a month ago, and he had completely relaxed.

Excitement on the one hand, calmness on the other. I don't know if the offensive flames of the Portuguese team will be able to burn smoothly in the Aegean Sea this time.

Mourinho also felt this way, especially when he saw that guy Rehhagel, this dangerous feeling became even stronger.

It's just that the sense of smell of the two of them can only represent their own opinions, and will not affect other people's views on the game, at least those reporters will not agree.

Before the start of the final, the whole of Portugal fell into a frenzy. For them, this was the closing performance of the golden generation of Portugal. It was the best farewell ceremony for those talented players with a European Cup champion. And they do have the strength to win the championship.

Figo, Rui Costa, Costinha, Deco, Ronaldo, Gomez, this is a talented Portugal, almost no one can resist.

Perfect technology, exquisite coordination, coupled with the overall tactics instilled in them by Scolari, this team performed quite tough throughout the schedule.

And players like Figo know that this is their last chance to win the European championship, and they don't want to leave any regrets for themselves.

The technical midfielder constructed by Rui Costa, Deco and others in the midfield, coupled with the new force of Ronaldo, they are almost invincible.

But this time it was indeed Scolari who injected a defensive soul into these Portuguese, so they could have no worries when attacking.

But there is still Mourinho's shadow in it. After all, defenders like Carvalho and Valente are all giants created by Mourinho himself.

In the end, whose coaching ability is more outstanding may ultimately depend on trophies to prove it. Now Scolari has ushered in such an opportunity.

Moreover, in the just-concluded Champions League decisive battle, the Porto team successfully killed all the princes and won the highest award of European clubs. Now the Portuguese national team is also continuing the good luck and good state of the Porto team. Belongs to the carnival season of Portuguese football.

The clubs have won, but will the national team be far behind?When Portugal broke into the finals, this desire for the European Cup has reached its peak.

Almost all the Portuguese media used headlines to play up this game. In their view, this is the best time for the Portuguese team to reach the top of Europe.

Fighting at home, with a solid support of fans, the advantage of the home field, the most important thing is that their opponents in this decisive battle are not those traditional strong teams.

The Greek team, a country that is not even considered second-tier in Europe, even Belgium is many times more famous than theirs, a perfect opponent.

It seems that even God is creating the last chance for the Portuguese team to win the championship. Even the opponents are so well selected, and now it is only the final coronation.

In the eyes of many people, the game lost in the group stage was just an accident. At that time, the Portuguese team had not fully entered the state.

And the Greek team relied more on a brave spirit to steal a victory under the carelessness of the Portuguese. Without this victory, maybe those guys from the Aegean Sea would not even be able to qualify for the final group stage. The problem, facing such an opponent is really a kind of luck.

The Portuguese have always had bad luck in major competitions, but this time they are at a peak no matter their competitive state or good luck.

Their confidence is also different, because they killed Spain and England, and their competitive state is in a strong upward stage.

It can be said that Scolari dared to tell anyone that the current Portuguese team definitely has a strong momentum of gods and gods, and gods and gods.

That's right, the Greek team was in the dark this time. France, the Czech Republic, these veteran teams all fell under the feet of this group of Greek machos.

But in the eyes of the Portuguese, these results are nothing more than their good luck, especially after entering the knockout round.

Rehhagel, a German who has always believed in the old-school tough style, also infused the Germanic spirit of never giving up until the last moment into the body of the Greek team. The bomber bombed all the way to the finals.

But it's no wonder that no one in the media is optimistic about Greece. After all, this is a group of guys with rough skills, and they really don't have much technical content in the game.

Especially compared with Portugal, they are simply a group of barbarians, and some guys are not even good at stopping the ball and turning around.

Rehhagel's tactics are very simple, height plus jumping, fierce siege, running without hesitation, all attacks are completed in the air.

The entire Greek team does not have any particularly good playmakers. They do not rely on dexterous skills to score goals, but rely on set-piece tactics.

It's just a simple way to hit high and high. They like to use headers to solve problems than the English a few decades ago. That's how they got over it all the way.

But it is this extremely simple tactic that has worked time and again. Even the French have nothing to do with them. Their headers have repeatedly captured the solid fortresses of several traditional teams. This time, they stood On the turf of the Stadium of Light, ready to attack the Portuguese team again.

Just like how Mourinho and Lin Yi feel about these Greeks, when the opponent is determined to defend, it is very difficult for the attacker.

This time Rehhagel was like this. He never thought about attacking at all. He knew very well that this was not his territory, and he had to keep his defense firm.

Especially when the opponent's offense is very sharp, he must occupy the defensive space. After the game started, he let eight people stay in the backcourt to defend, leaving only two high-altitude bombers with a height of more than 1.9 meters on the forward line. And the midfielder just leaves an organizer who can hold the ball.

Purely defensive counterattack, Rehhagel knows what his disadvantages are, and he also knows very well what his team should do on the field.

However, Scolari has no way to deal with opponents like Spain and England. The fiery atmosphere of the Stadium of Light makes him have to attack.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Portuguese team was besieging the Greek team, and their shots were continuously creating threats.

Figo's long shot, Costa's short pass penetration, Ronaldo's wing breakthrough, Costinha's back row insertion, it can be said that the Portuguese spent the first half in a wanton attack, every time they Pressing forward and attacking can make the Stadium of Light filled with crazy shouts from the fans.

The Greek team didn't even have a chance to shoot in the first half, but they relied on the collective defense of eight or nine people to stifle the Portuguese's offense.

Perhaps the most troublesome thing for Scolari at this time is why there is no one on his front line who can kill with one blow. A weak team killer like Pauletta is really not suitable for this kind of head-to-head contest, but apart from him , Portugal has been unable to pick out a qualified center.

But trying to rely on a striker like Pauletta to find a chance to shoot among the tall and burly defenders of the Greek team is simply a fairy tale.

Maybe this guy Rehhagel has read the Chinese art of war. This calculating German really knows how to use the gap in the attack.

One bang, another decline, and three exhaustions. When the Portuguese team continued to attack violently in the first 10 minutes of the second half, the Greek counterattack began.

A quick counterattack, an outrageous cross that was a little bit off, no threatening attack, but Ricciardo's save gave the opponent a corner kick.

The murderous intent contained in the plainness, when the two central defenders of the Greek team were pressed into the penalty area, Scolari smelled a hint of conspiracy.

But it was too late at this time, a corner kick with an excellent arc, five big men over 1 meters all rushed towards this point at the same time, a group of bombers.

Charisteas, Greece's top scorer, was keen to grab the point and his team-mate blocked Carvalho to give him the chance.

The net shook, and the cheers of the entire Stadium of Light stopped abruptly at this moment, and Scolari's reminder to the defenders had not even dissipated.

But the ball has already been scored, not beautiful, not skillful, but the football has passed through Ricardo's fingertips at this moment, and stayed in the net behind him.

No one dared to believe this, but the rolling football has stung everyone's eyes. At this moment, there are only cheers from the Greeks in the Stadium of Light.

The Greek team had a threatening shot for the first time in the game, but this goal was enough for Rehhagel, and there were still more than 30 minutes left.

When Mourinho saw the goal, he subconsciously said to Lin Yi, "It's like your pass, once, it's enough."

Lin Yi didn't respond, but he seemed to have foreseen the end of the game. When the Greek shrank into an iron bucket, the Portuguese team lacked a knife.

A knife capable of tearing apart the opponent's defenses. . .

(Happy New Year, comrades... I hope everyone will be smooth sailing in 2011... My family is safe... Thank you for helping me this year, thank you...)
