Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Portuguese national team coach Santos, captain Cristiano Ronaldo and other Portuguese national team players arrived at the hotel. After receiving Martin at the airport, they came to the hotel lobby to wait for the arrival of Martin.

Although some players knew that Martin's arrival would inevitably lead to their positions being lost, with the addition of Martin, the team's overall strength increased significantly.

In the eyes of the outside world, it already has the strength to compete for the World Cup championship in the fighting countries.

Compared with his position in the national team, winning the World Cup is obviously more important!

In order to show the importance to Martin, a grand press conference was held the next day.

In addition to head coach Santos and captain Ronaldo, there is also Fernando Gomez, president of the Portuguese Football Association.

Originally, Ronaldo wanted to hand over the captain's armband to Martin as promised, but Martin refused.

After all, Ronaldo is Portugal’s true spiritual leader.

Martin, who chose Portugal, was all to fulfill his late adoptive father's dream. He is more like a super foreign aid for the Portuguese national team.

At 8 pm on August 31, the seventh round of the World Cup European Group B match between the Portuguese national team and the Faroe Islands officially kicked off.

This is a very disparate game.

Portugal, without Martin in the first round, won 6-0 away from home. Andre Silva scored a hat trick, while Cristiano Ronaldo, Moutinho and Cancelo each scored a goal.

This campaign is at home, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Martin appearing together at the Dragon Stadium.

The on-site director specially gave a close-up shot of Martin, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey when he entered the field with the team, and pushed it to his face.

CCTV 5 specially broadcast the game live. Even though the game time was at 3:45 in the morning, there were still a large number of Dragon Kingdom fans waiting in front of the TV.

He Wei said with emotion: "How should I put it? There is no doubt that Martin is the strongest football player in active service, but our Football Association doesn't care about this. In his territory, a dragon must be coiled up and a tiger must lie down... …”

Apart from those who were angry about Martin quitting his nationality to join the Portuguese national team, many of the Dragon Country fans who watched the live broadcast of the game watched the live broadcast of the game with an attitude of understanding and support.

The reason is very simple. Martin grew up in Portugal, and he had previously given up his Portuguese-Arab nationality and became a naturalized citizen of the Dragon Kingdom.

The results of it?

As He Wei said, the big bosses of the Football Association are superior. Even if Martin grows into the world's top superstar, he is not willing to admit his mistakes. He still insists on letting Martin take the initiative to apologize before calling him into the national football team.

There was nothing wrong with me, so why should I apologize?

Shameless?

If you don’t accept technological poverty alleviation, how can you have the right to hate Martin who is trying to realize his late adoptive father’s dream?

Therefore, these fans support Martin very much and are willing to make the Portuguese national team their second home team.

If they must hate, they only hate the Football Association.

Obviously the separation has been taken care of, but...

In the north stand of the Dragon Stadium, the Portuguese fan organization used red and white mosaics to piece together a huge "Welcome Martin" letters.

Feeling the love from the Portuguese fans, he raised his hands above his head and thanked the Portuguese fans for their support by clapping.

What responded to him was a deafening roar.

Originally, the failure against the Faroe Islands was purely for the Portuguese Football Association to increase Martin's appearances, but Martin wanted to score goals to repay the fans who supported him.

Although they all consciously held back their kicks, they completed a perfect hat trick of overhead kicks through corner kicks and sports battles in just ten minutes.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "A perfect national team debut, Martin gave back the Portuguese fans who supported him with his outstanding performance, but... this is a bit cruel to the Faroe Islands fans... "

Taking an early three-goal lead, Portugal's overall tactical play was consciously recycling and focused on control.

The players are the core main force of their respective clubs. They have played all the games before the international match day. After the international match day, they will probably have to play all the matches when they return to their respective clubs.

The Faroe Islands, a team that leads the team with a big score at home, focuses on stability and reasonably controls physical energy consumption and competition. This is a very scientific method.

Due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the Portuguese players consciously held back their kicks, but when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the scoreboard showed a relatively large score.

7:1

In addition to a perfect hat trick, Martin also gave Ronaldo two wonderful assists.

With just the right pass, Ronaldo can complete the shot without even needing to adjust.

Francesco, the commentator of Portugal's National Sports TV, couldn't help but shout: "CM has such a tacit understanding during the first connection. I really look forward to the World Cup in the fighting country next year."

"Indeed, very much looking forward to it."

Portuguese legendary star Figo, who served as the guest commentator, said solemnly.

Countless Portuguese fans sitting in front of the TV are also looking forward to it.

Because Switzerland won the other Group B match at the same time, Portugal, which had a big victory at home, still ranked second in the group with a three-point difference.

The next day, Martin and the Portuguese national team resumed training at the training base in Porto. It was not until the morning of the 2nd local time that they took a connecting flight to Budapest, the capital of Hungary, to prepare for their visit to Groupama Stadium to challenge Hungary in the 8th round of the World Cup European Qualifiers. group matches.

At 9:3 pm on September 8, Hungary faced the challenge of Portugal at home.

Although Hungary knew that they were not as strong as the seeded teams, they were very resilient at home and used their comprehensive defense to ensure that Guracic guarded the goal and did not concede a goal.

It wasn't until Martin came on for Moutinho in the second half that Portugal's offensive problems were solved.

In the 54th minute, Martin received a forward pass from 'Monk' Pepe near the arc of the center circle and passed it, then sent a diagonal pass of more than meters to the left rib of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo understood it and used his chest to stop the ball in the direction of travel while running at high speed. Then he volleyed with his left foot and scored from the near corner, changing the score to 1:0.

Portugal takes the lead as a guest!

This goal also brought Ronaldo's number of goals in the European preliminaries to 15, further stabilizing his top scorer position.

With the goal that broke the deadlock, goals in the next game became a matter of course.

In the 63rd and 79th minutes, Martin assisted Ronaldo and Quaresma, who came on the bench, to score.

In the end, Portugal defeated Hungary 3-0 as a guest.

Switzerland defeated Latvia 3:0 in the group stage at the same time, and the points gap between them was still three points.

The two teams have 24 points and 21 points respectively. Considering that the second place of other teams in the group is only about 14 or 15 points, it is basically certain that they will have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup of Fighting Nations, but one team will participate in the play-offs.

Portugal is away to challenge Andorra in the 9th round, while Switzerland faces Hungary at home.

In the 10th round, the two teams faced off directly.

This means that the final round will determine which of the two teams will advance directly and who will play in the play-offs.
