[football] walk side by side

The person who was stared at by everyone was unconscious. Cristiano was silent for a while, and then said flatly: "Okay, sir."

It's as if this is just an ordinary league game.

But having said that, no matter how gossip and worry in their hearts, not many people dare to ask Cristiano. The players who did not have the guts to touch the head of the captain had no choice but to put the breakthrough on Cyril. I really hope that he can pay attention to the captain's mental state and so on.

Facing the nervous and expectant eyes of his teammates, Cyril nodded in response, but his mood at the moment was really not clear.

Is the focus of this game really on Cristiano and Messi?

From the outside media, fans’ cognition, and even many Portuguese players’ hearts, this World Cup final may be a duel between two peerless twins. The state of Cristiano and Messi will definitely challenge Their respective teams have a vital impact.

But the problem is that whether it is fans or players, it is too important.

It is undeniable that without Cristiano's outstanding performance, it would be difficult for Portugal to enter the World Cup finals, but in Cyril's view, this team is too dependent on Cristiano.

After all, football is a game of [-] people, not a stage for one person. It is impossible for Cristiano to win the Hercules Cup only with the efforts of one person.

Cyril actually didn't care much about the worries of his teammates.In his opinion, even if Messi has any influence on Cristiano, it is only a positive influence. In contrast, it is his teammates' over-reliance on Cristiano, which is what Cyril is most worried about. .

Cyril raised his eyes and glanced at his teammates with different thoughts—some were happy about entering the World Cup finals, while others were worried about the upcoming finals. He hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing.

Before the official arrival of that much-anticipated day, it is undoubtedly the time for various media fans to hype themselves up. This time Mourinho, as before, carried out a completely closed training at the training base.

For the sake of today, Mourinho will naturally not add any special training to the players. All the training is mainly based on maintaining the general intensity and is deliberately closed, just to prevent the players from being disturbed by the outside world. It just affects the state of the game.

Mourinho, who is familiar with psychology, understands that in some respects, many players can be said to be no different from children. After all, only a few can not be disturbed by the outside world. Under the rumors from the outside world, keep calm and calm, then as the head coach, this protection work can only be done by him.

The internal situation of the Portuguese national team is calm, but the outside world has already stirred up turmoil because of this upcoming competition.

Even countries that don't pay much attention to football are distracted by this peak battle at this time. The world's major entertainment companies have placed various bets early. Fans and tourists from all over the world, Reporters rushed to Brazil one after another, just for this upcoming peak matchup.

……

On the afternoon of July 2014, 7, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Maracana Stadium.

After the two players arrived at the stadium, they warmed up quickly. Before the start of the game, when the two players met in the team channel, Cristiano even nodded at Messi—although his expression was very serious when he did this. any smile.

But this simple action is enough to make many Portuguese players feel at ease. They are not afraid that their captain is full of fighting spirit, and they just hope that he will not be affected by the "old enemy" in the media.

Cyril thought he wasn't nervous-but in fact, when he stepped onto the green field and the fans' crazy shouts resounded throughout the stadium, the feeling of blood surging filled his whole body.When he subconsciously, or subconsciously, turned his gaze to the gorgeous trophy standing aside, even though he was as calm as him, he couldn't help but suffocate.

Over the years, he has pursued a lot on and off, and obtained a lot.

Money, fame and fortune, wealthy teams, countless championship trophies... Although there are countless ups and downs on the road, it is undeniable that Cyril, who almost won the club's championship and grand slam, is now standing on the same level as the one who only lived for a living back then. Forced, the boy who dropped out of school to play football went to a place he never thought of.

Do you really like football?

When Shen Xianze asked him this question, Cyril also felt almost ashamed or guilty, because he knew clearly that his love for football was not that simple.

The choice of football was not so much because of the force of life, but rather, it was the only thing that was truly conscious and belonged to him at the time for little Cyril.

And as he grew up and experienced more and more games, his goals and plans were constantly updated and changed.Football carries not only his hopes, but also all the ambitions buried in the heart of that little boy that no one knew.

Want to beat Barcelona, ​​want to lead Chelsea to the Champions League, want the Ballon d'Or, want to be the best player in the world alongside Cristiano and Messi...

And now-

Cyril took a deep breath, he looked away, no longer looked at the trophy behind him, turned and stepped on the field.

In front of him, it has nothing to do with any fame or honor.

It belonged to the 28-year-old Cyril, and also belonged to the 13-year-old boy... the ultimate dream.
