[football] walk side by side

"The general tactics are like this. At present, we have locked the qualifying seats, so in this game, don't put too much pressure on everyone, just do your best." Scolari said, looking calmly at Christie. Yano stayed on Yano's body for a second before skipping him to look at the others.

Cristiano listened carefully.

To be precise, he may be the one who takes this game most seriously among this group of people. In the case of going back to the club to play this weekend, the morale of the Portuguese players is actually a bit sluggish-the qualifying seats have already Lockdown, club games on the weekend, so what's the fuss?Anyway, they can easily enter the World Cup.

Long before this game, Scolari hesitated whether to select Cristiano into the lineup. Two days ago, it was not only Cristiano who was notified of the death of Dinis Aveiro, but also the Coach Scolari.

The death of the immediate family member of the player, Scolari did not need to think about it, but he knew how big a blow this incident would bring to Cristiano himself. Fortunately, the game against Russia was the last match that Portugal needed to play in this World Cup qualifier In the field, Scolari does not have to worry about Cristiano's absence.

Therefore, at the beginning, Scolari actually planned to kick Cristiano's name from the list.

However, at this time, Cristiano took the initiative to find him.

In Scolari's impression, Cristiano is a psychologically fragile player. The sudden death of his father will inevitably bring him a certain blow, which will further affect his state. Considering this, Scolari The moment Larry received the notice, he planned to give Cristiano a vacation and let him go back to prepare for his father's funeral.

But Cristiano firmly rejected him.

Not only that, he even made a request two days before the match against Russia. When he said these words, the youth's eye circles were still slightly red, but his expression was calm and firm.

He is serious.

Scolari sighed inwardly.

It stands to reason that players cannot actually go to the office to ask the head coach to request a place, but Scolari knows that after the 2006 World Cup, Luis Figo will announce his withdrawal from the national team, and Portugal's internal discussions, the final A good successor is the Red Devil No. [-] in front of him.

Under such circumstances, Scolari would not refuse Cristiano's request.But from the bottom of his heart... He looked at the young man who seemed to have grown up overnight, with a mature face, and he couldn't bear it.

"I agree to your request." After a long silence, Scolari finally said: "But you also have to promise me, don't force yourself, okay?"

"I understand." Cristiano lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, with an imperceptible hoarseness in his voice: "...Thank you, Mr. Scolari."

In Scolari's heart, the outcome of this game is far less important than Cristiano's mental health. Now, he only hopes that this game can end smoothly, so that Cristiano can go back sooner.

……

"Good evening, fans. This is the European qualifier for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The two sides of the match are the Portuguese national team and the Russian national team. Judging from the current points, the Portuguese team is in a good position to join the team, and Russia can basically announce that it will miss out. It’s the World Cup in Germany, and with the top leagues to be played this weekend, I think neither side will spend too much energy on this game.”

The narrator's guess was correct.

Although the Russian side really wanted to beat the Portuguese national team, because of the shame of being bloodbathed by Portugal in the last round, Portugal is really not a weak team at this time. Even if the Russian players tried their best to score goals, they were always defeated by Portugal The defense line was firmly controlled beyond the safety line, and threatening shots rarely appeared, and even if there were, they were all easily captured by Baier.

However, compared to Russia's active offense, Portuguese players generally behaved more negatively.

Just like what the commentator said—there is no pressure to qualify, the European qualifiers are coming to an end, and there are still games on the weekend. These three reasons are enough to make the Portuguese players careless about the outcome of this game. Since they can qualify anyway, Of course it is more important to save energy, right?

At this time two days ago, Cyril thought so too.

Chelsea this season is still under a lot of pressure. Although the league started well, it will soon usher in the peak period of the third-line battle. In this way, physical savings are very important. With the qualifying places already locked, Cyril I will not go all out for a dispensable victory, because it is meaningless. If too much energy is consumed because of this kind of victory, it will affect the next European war.

However, from a certain moment two days ago, he discovered that Cristiano had become very wrong.

In previous national team games, regardless of the opponent, Cristiano would always look full of fighting spirit. However, at some point, the Red Devils No. [-] suddenly became very quiet. His training was more serious than before, but he did not I will fight with my teammates again in training, as if I grew up overnight, and my every move has become surprisingly calm.

Figo also secretly sighed that the children in their family finally had a bit of leadership temperament - but Cyril didn't think so.

Indeed, Cristiano seems to be much quieter than before, but in this world, all changes have a reason, and for Cristiano to become like this, there must be some unexpected incident that affected him .

As Cristiano's roommate during the national team training, Cyril was the first to discover this change in him-he saw the other party's changes in his eyes, but didn't ask anything.I just found a gap in the middle, made a phone call, and asked Jorge about it, so I learned about Cristiano's father.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Cristiano took this irrelevant game so seriously.

The importance of every game is the second, the most important thing - I want to see the victory of this game as a farewell to my father.

Cyril didn't know how to comfort Cristiano - in the face of such things as the death of blood relatives, any words of comfort could not be more weak, so after learning everything from Jorge, Cyril also Didn't mention this to Cristiano, maybe all he can do is to help him in this game and win the final victory.

But this is actually not an easy task.

Football is not a one-man game - and certainly not a two-man game.In the entire Portuguese national team, except for Cristiano and Cyril, the other players are lazy and absent-minded. It is very difficult to score goals.

"C-Ronaldo's performance in the frontcourt is very active. He returned to the wing and he performed like a fish in water in this game. The dribbling at his feet is more practical than before. In this game, his scoring** seems to be It was more intense than the previous game, his fighting, attacking, and defending were all very active, and the distance he ran back and forth was also very large..."

"Slade's performance in this game was as good as ever. He didn't give up the game because he had already secured the qualifying spot. In today's modern football games, the increase in competitions makes players often lose their However, Slade and C-Ronaldo performed equally well, and there is no intention of perfunctory in the game just because of qualifying."

What a pity... The narrator sighed in his heart.

Although Cyril and Crisiano were very desperate, they both ran tirelessly throughout the first half. When the Portuguese midfielders and even the backcourt players were not very focused, they always liked to stay Cristiano in the frontcourt would even run back and play as a defender...but it didn't work.

The strength of two people will be limited after all. If the other Portuguese players do not actively cooperate, even if the opponent is an underdog like Russia, Cyril and Cristiano alone may not be able to score goals.

In the 40th minute of the game, Deco passed the ball to Cyril as usual. After he took possession of the ball, he immediately looked at Cristiano. In the 40 minutes of the first half, the Russian players also quickly discovered that Manchester United No. [-] is the most active one in the Portuguese team, which has caused Cristiano to face the most dense defense in the team.

At this time, it is obviously impossible to pass the ball to Cristiano. Cyril took the ball and ran forward along the middle. Gnashevich caught up, and he sped up and passed the opponent. With a powerful pass, the ball was sent to the goal further ahead.

The ball was passed to Ferreira who advanced forward.

The Russian player who judged this quickly gave up on Cristiano and turned to chase in the direction of Ferreira. However, before Ferreira received the pass from Cyril, the Russian defender Eshchenko took the first step to hook him. Football, a big foot drove the ball near the middle circle.

Originally, when Cyril passed the ball to Ferreira, Cristiano accelerated forward, intending to respond to Ferreira, and then, almost at the same moment Eschenko kicked out, Cristiano immediately turned again Turn around, turn around and run towards the middle circle.

Cyril's eyes sank.

He will not easily pass the ball that he is not sure of. The reason why he handed the ball to Ferreira is that the opponent does not have a close-fitting defensive player, and the other is that Cyril knows that with Ferreira's speed, it is possible to take the lead. Eschenko received the ball before.Considering the distance at the time and Cristiano's quick response, after Ferreira received the ball, Portugal will usher in a good opportunity to hit the goal directly.

But Ferreira didn't get it.

Of course, it wasn't a miscalculation by Cyril—maybe he didn't care about the game, maybe it was to save energy, in short, Ferreira didn't run as hard as he could!

Looking over Cristiano, who was chasing back alone, who seemed a bit out of place among the lazy Portuguese players, Cyril felt a little indescribably sour, but more annoyed!

The person who should ask for leave to go home is still on the court, running hard for this game, while more players are idly using the court as a place for walking, careless and absent-minded, just waiting for the end of the game to fly to their respective places In the league area, take a good rest during the short holiday before the league restarts.

what is this? !

The author has something to say: Regarding the death of your Luo father, this article adopts the setting of [teammates did not know about it at the time of the game], mainly because I personally feel that I was lazily watching you Luo alone when I knew about it Desperately... It's a little too much.If it is different from the reality that everyone knows, then please treat this setting as a bug required by the plot and ignore it, Orz.

In the World Cup qualifiers that ended in the early hours of September 9th, Beijing time, Portugal drew 8-0 away with Russia.

In this game, most of the Portuguese players had no motivation, perhaps to cope with the club's league this weekend, and Portugal's qualifying situation is very good.As soon as the game started, they seemed to have locked their hope of qualifying for the next round of World Cup qualifiers, and lost their active running in the past.Only C-Ronaldo in the Portuguese team spared no effort to run, break through and shoot.There is no doubt that C-Ronaldo was Portugal's most outstanding player in the game.But perhaps no one knows that C-Ronaldo's father just passed away two days before the game.

England's "Sky Sports" news: C-Ronaldo died the day before the Portugal game. Although C-Ronaldo was very sad, he still insisted on participating in the Portugal-Russia game, but he may miss the match between Manchester United and Manchester City this weekend.

This Tuesday, C-Ronaldo's father died in a local hospital in London due to serious diseases such as liver and kidney. At this time, Ronaldinho was still training with Portugal and arrived in Moscow, the Russian capital, one day later.Although he expressed dissatisfaction with Scolari for being replaced early in the last game, after communicating with Scolari after the game, he still appeared in the lineup as he wished.

In the game early this morning, Ronaldinho did give Scolari a face. He performed very well in the game, sprinting left and right, frequently breaking into the opponent's penalty area, especially after returning to the right side he was accustomed to. Like a duck to water.But it is a pity that C-Ronaldo, who originally hoped to comfort his old father with a victory, failed to realize this wish.
