football's most handsome

The singing at the Dragon Stadium was all over the sky, and the camera glanced down. It was red and green, all of which were cheered by the Portuguese people. Cristiano quietly probed to see the situation, and when he ran back, he held Juan very nervously.

"What?" Juan was sorting himself out at this time. The Portuguese players had just finished warming up and returned to the player tunnel to play. There was still no movement from the Greek side, but it was obvious that his little teammates wanted to fight with him. That's not what I said.

"There are a lot of people outside!" Juan was helpless when he heard that his teammates were so excited.

"That's only more than 5 people. You have never been nervous playing football under the watchful eyes of more than 7 people at Old Trafford."

"But that's more than 7 irrelevant people!" Cristiano was obviously not comforted by the huge gap in numbers, but worried: "That's different! Those are all irrelevant people , now it's all Portuguese!" Playing for money and playing for glory felt like two different things.

Figo understood him very well, and patted him on the head with a smile when he walked over: "Don't think too much, just play football seriously and enjoy the game. This is the first game, and there will be bad battles to fight after that."

The distribution of the European Cup in the group stage is still relatively biased towards the host country. However, although it perfectly avoided the strong teams such as France, Croatia, Italy, and Germany, Portugal still inevitably encountered Spain and Russia.

Spain is by far the most headache for Portugal, from striker to goalkeeper, especially Juan has many acquaintances, which is even more impressive.

As for Russia, everyone who came out of that freezing place has super strong physical fitness, and it is also a team that cannot be taken lightly.

In contrast, the Greek team is not interesting-no superstars, no rich teams, no topics, the only thing that may attract people's attention is that their head coach is the German coach Rehhagel.

Rehhagel is good at creating miracles. In 97, he led Kaiserslautern back to the Bundesliga as the Bundesliga champion. The first game was against Bayern Munich. Facing the Bundesliga giants, this team gave The answer given was shocking-1:0, Bayern Munich was overthrown and dismounted!In the same year, he led the Kaiserslautern team to win the Bundesliga championship one round ahead of schedule.

The Miracle coach came out after a year, but he led the Greek team that was not visible. Although everyone thought he was in a daze, it was like they had forgotten the small club Kaiserslautern. The same cynicism.

Juan looked at Greece, who was still earnestly warming up and preparing for training, and couldn't help frowning.

This is not a team to be taken lightly.

In the preliminaries of the European Championship, Greece lost the first two games, which made Greece's hope of qualifying for the group stage slim. However, they won six consecutive victories in the next game and entered the main competition area tenaciously. It is not something that can be explained clearly by luck. It is more likely that the seemingly low-key Greece may become the biggest dark horse.

He looked back at his players, because they were playing locally, and some of them were Porto players. They were all relaxed when they were in a familiar home court. The only ones who were nervous were Cristiano and Carvalho. They seem to be the only ones in this batch of national teams. Juan has even participated in the World Cup, so he is naturally not afraid of this kind of scene.

It was getting closer and closer to the start of the game. The Greek players all returned to the player channel to line up. Cristiano couldn't help but stretched out his head to look at them, and then asked Juan in a low voice: "Can I speak in English or Portuguese?" speak to them in Chinese, can they understand?"

Juan thought about it carefully: "German should be possible."

Cristiano was eager to try: "Can you teach me a few words of German?"

"..." Juan paused, then sighed. "'I love you' and 'Where is the bathroom', which sentence do you want to learn?" He only involved these two sentences.

"..." Cristiano opened his mouth, speechless.

"Welcome everyone to the Dragon Stadium!" The on-site commentary has already begun to warm up the atmosphere. Juan immediately patted his teammates to make him stand upright. Responsible.

"This is the first time in the history of Portugal to host the European Cup, and it is also the first time that Portugal has the advantage of playing at home across the board. Will they win the highest honor for the country, the Delaunay Cup? The one who finally won at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon Who will it be? Let's enjoy the 23-day carnival!"

The on-site commentator was obviously very excited. When he reported the names of the players of the two teams, he was very smooth-mouthed, especially the Portuguese team. When he reported a name, the audience cheered. They also applauded respectfully.

As a Portuguese-Western mixed race, Juan grew up in Madrid, and his perception of him in Portugal is not as deep as that of others. After all, he is not a child who grew up by himself?

However, he did not join the Spanish national team, and he was opposed by many people when he chose Portugal. Of course, everything is passing by now.

However, when the camera was shown to him, many female fans still exclaimed.

The young man No. 23 in the camera has dark golden hair like quicksand under the moonlight, and his blue eyes are like the clearest deep pool. He has high visibility but cannot see the bottom at a glance. His facial features are smooth and smooth. It was even more eye-catching when I first participated in the World Cup a year ago.

He is not like those enthusiastic players on the Iberian Peninsula, just standing there, looking down at people slightly, there are countless female fans who want to turn into wolves and rush up to hug him. This looks empty, lonely and cold. The young man - directly ignored the man who was in his early 1.8 meters.

This year Portugal’s jersey still chooses the most classic bright red, with a ring of emerald green on the neckline and cuffs. The whole outfit is as enthusiastic as the roaring mountains and forests, and the man is the quiet water. The blending of water and fire forms a unique temperament. People's eyes can't help but stop.

There is indeed a kind of person, the more you look the better.

After reporting Portugal's roster, the on-site commentator subconsciously glanced at the Greek team's roster. This glance made him silent for several seconds.

"Greece... Goalkeeper Nikopolidis; Defenders Sitaridis, Dabisas, Delas, Basinas; Midfielders Zagorakis, Yanakopoulos, Tzatas; Forwards Charisteas, Nikolaidis... God, is their roster a tongue twister?"

For the Portuguese pronunciation habits, the names of the Greek players are indeed a nightmare, but the on-site commentary still stubbornly pronounced the names.

Generally speaking, the commentary should have quickly introduced the rosters of the two sides, and when the captains of the two teams shook hands, they began to analyze the formations of the two sides. However, today, Figo and the opposing captain Venettidis exchanged flags, and the referee tossed a coin to decide the order. After the kick-off and the handshake between the two teams, he went to take the team's pre-match photos, and he finally read the Greek player list.

For the pain of commentary, all the Portuguese at the scene and in front of the TV can understand, because even the commentator of Sky Sports complained: "God, do the Greeks usually choose names to be longer than whose name?"

Complaints belong to complaints, the game still has to continue, Greece guessed the positive and negative of the coin, they kicked off first, and Cristiano quietly said to Juan when he was running: "I knew the captain was not lucky. Well, he never loses at cards!"

"..." Juan didn't dare to speak, because their captain nicknamed "Devil" hadn't run far. Obviously he heard what Cristiano said, but due to the competition, Figo didn't commit brotherly violence. Things are coming, but it may not be so after the game...

"The game starts, kick-off in the middle circle, Greece has the ball!"

With a whistle, Zagorakis took a deep breath and lightly passed the ball to Yanakopolos beside him. The Greek team has its own style of play, and their head coach taught them what it means to be full All offense and defense naturally taught them that they must be preemptive at the beginning of the game.

Yanakopolos is the brain of the Greek team. Many attacks were initiated from his direction. After receiving the ball, he did not pass the ball rashly, but when Valente and Carvalho planned to step forward to press Protect the ball under your feet tightly.

His dribbling skills are not very good, but the football is very close to his feet. It can be said that during the game, the ball under his feet has not been broken much-if you want to break his ball, you may hit him at any time. His foot, sometimes even the ball is kicked to him first, no matter what the opponent says, a yellow card is indispensable.

However, no matter how good the dribbling is, it is impossible for Yanakropoulos to keep the football sticking to his feet, especially when the opponent seems to have another player to press, the scene will be terrible, so he is looking at it. After a gap, he lifted his foot and made a cross from the bottom.

Basinas catches the ball!

Greece's offensive speed can't be called fast, but the span is so large that it is easy to catch people off guard. At the same time, they also know how to avoid disadvantages. Rehhagel may have thoroughly investigated all of the Portuguese team before the game. In terms of people, whether it is passing and receiving the ball or advancing the front line, he carefully avoided Juan's direction.

Especially when Basinas received the ball, two defenders stepped forward to block Juan's footsteps. You know, they didn't even have such a big fight against Figo.

Juan was blocked, but it didn't mean there was no solution on the court. Seeing the critical situation in Portugal, he began to lead the two defenders around without a trace. Whenever he had the intention of approaching the ball slightly, the two I was especially nervous, so Juan sighed.

Yes, even he has weaknesses, or rather, this is the weakness of every player.

When they don't have the ball in their hands, no matter how great their skills are, they can't show it.But at least now he can help the team tear up the opposite defense?

Juan led two people around the half-court here, but there was chaos in front of the Portuguese goal.Basinas protected the ball to the edge of the penalty area. He held the ball for too long. Just when everyone thought that he would continue to be so long and continue to be so difficult, Basinas stopped and it was a Foot long pass.

Goal - Charisteas, 45 yards in front of the goal!

The whole of Portugal was shocked, especially Carvalho and Valente. They defended Basinas from the center circle all the way to the penalty area. They were about to force him out of the baseline. Why did they suddenly change their minds and pass the ball? ? !

Moreover, the position of the pass is too high and too dangerous. The Portuguese fans exclaimed, because of the height of the ball, no one can save Portugal at present!Charisteas catches the ball, lifts his foot and shoots with all eyes on.

At this moment, Ricardo attacked!

He blocked the way to attack the goal, and without giving the opponent any chance, he slapped the ball out. The ball bounced high, and everyone squinted their eyes.

Not out of the touchline, still on the pitch!

Miguel was nearby. When the ball was flying towards him, the Portuguese defender dived to the top without hesitation and sent the ball back to the field. The ball narrowly missed several Greek players nearby. , was finally won by Andrade, and his first reaction after getting the ball was to run for his life.

It’s not that the Portuguese defender learned how to carry a knife in an instant, but as a defensive player, he clearly knows what it’s like to be surrounded, although the opponent seems to be surrounded by only two forwards and a midfielder , but judging from the state of Greece's full attack and full defense, if he delays for a second or two, then Portugal will face the iron wall of Greece.

It was precisely because of this worry that he took the ball and ran almost across the entire Portuguese half. When he reached the center circle, he had time to catch his breath, and then he looked up and noticed Juan not far away.

Seeing his teammates, Andrade finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before the people behind were chasing and intercepting him, he gave the ball to Juan with a beautiful through ball.

The person who subconsciously caught the ball suddenly wanted to smile wryly. He had already led the two defenders around for a while. Didn't Andrade see it because he was always behind?His current situation can be described as the most terrible.

And if there are only two defenders, it’s fine. These two players with scary names and scary looks seem to think highly of him. As soon as they see him holding the ball, they are ready to come up fiercely to press down. They are very shoveling. Broken leg does not allow him to pass the ball.

Under such tight marking, Juan still calmly protected the ball.Basinas is not the only one who can protect the ball in this world, at least there is no problem in a short period of time. Juan even has the leisure to find the direction of his teammates and see how to send the ball later.

After looking around, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

The entire Greek team is like a giant python tightly wrapped around everyone in the Portuguese team, pressing tightly as if wishing to make them unable to move an inch, and the whole team is only looser in the direction of Cristiano - of course it is also far away. It's a little farther away, but who made the two teams only have 11 players during the game?

He has two defenses here, unless someone can guarantee that he can defend two people, otherwise Cristiano must be the breakthrough point!

However, when Juan was leading in the direction of Portugal No. 17 without a trace, another Greek jersey came oncoming, and Juan frowned when he saw it.

Are you going to be besieged?

Then whose place is relaxed?

The oncoming person was Dabisas. He seemed to have received some instructions from Rehagel, and rushed over with a serious face. Juan didn't recognize the appearance of the Greek, but he still came from the oncoming person. On that face, I found something different from the others.

- Evil spirit.

It seems that he rushed forward with the feeling that he must do something, and this matter must be very bad for Juan.

Whether he wanted to make a foul or something, Juan just raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't know why he got such a high evaluation from Rehhagel, so that his defenders would even foul him to stop him, but he knew that if he didn't avoid this man in front of him now, his career would be very difficult. It may end early.

Only two steps away from him in Dabisas!

The Greek didn't seem to be afraid to go head-on at all. He stared at Juan's eyes tightly, like a boa constrictor staring at its prey, ready to move at any time. Just as Juan raised his eyebrows and was about to move, he felt a gust of wind under his feet sweep.

He subconsciously dunked the ball with the inside of his foot, and the football bounced lightly from the ground, reaching the height of his calf. Juan's foot also rose accordingly, and he jumped up.

When the exclamation came from the scene, Juan had already knocked the ball with the back of his foot, passed Dabisas, and once again controlled the ball under his feet and moved forward.

"Foul!!! They want to hurt people on purpose!!!" The on-site commentator immediately jumped up and shouted loudly, "If Juan hadn't raised his foot to evade just now, Dabi Sass kicked on Juan's leg guard It's on the board! And he didn't retract the studs at all, he was a vicious foul!"

"Wonderful!" The commentator of Sky Sports shouted, "Facing the oncoming press, Juan did not panic, but predicted the opponent's action in advance, and used a pilling action to raise the ball. The footsteps also kept up, directly avoiding the possible stampede accident in the chaos of the three players, beautiful and neat handling method! The blond little prince took off on the court!"

After a pause, he added: "Although it is said so, we still have to wonder whether the motivation of the Greek players is deliberate? Maybe we should watch the replay later."

The dilemma didn't end there when Juan crossed Dabisas, the Greek 4 almost immediately turned around and tried to grab him by the hem of his shirt, quite possibly preferring a backside foul rather than letting him get close to the goal, Juan There are no eyes on the back, but he accelerated and turned around as if he knew what the person behind him wanted to do. The nearly ninety-degree drift made the Greek lose his sense of direction, and his fingers could only move from the corner of his clothes Sliding across, close at hand but far apart.

At the same time, Dabisas seemed to protest when he heard his ankle thump. After all, forcibly changing directions during high-speed sports is a taboo for players. He also tried his best to chase Juan.

However, when his ankle was in severe pain, he could only stagger and stop, allowing his two teammates, Venettidis and Dabisas, to continue chasing and intercepting Juan.

The two of them have been following Juan for half a time. Although there is no communication between the three of them, the more they follow them, the more frightened they become.

If it is said that every intentional or unintentional approach to the person in possession of the ball is just to test the two of them, then how to explain every time they almost get rid of them and make them feel that there is a glimmer of hope, so they grit their teeth and continue to follow ?

It's fine if it's just a lack of physical strength, but looking at his speed now, where is his physical strength or lack of speed?It is clearly sharing the offensive pressure for the whole team!

Greece has five defenders today, and they are using a sweeper lineup, with strict discipline in total attack and total defense, and Juan almost broke Greece's ideas to pieces by himself.

There is not so much taking it for granted on the court. If the opponent sees your intentions, then it will not be far to be destroyed.

This is the situation of the Greek team now. When Juan almost dismantled their five-back lineup, he finally received the ball and began to show his fangs.

At the moment of dribbling, Juan has already discovered where the gap is exposed in the audience.I don't know if the Greek team is really bold or what. They let three people defend one of them, but they left two people with a space around them. What's more deadly is that one of the two people is the right winger Cristia. No, one is the left winger Figo.

It may be that these two people usually stay in the Greek half. If the ball does not pass, there will be no danger. Therefore, the Greek team's defense against these two people is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The two defenders followed Juan and ran all over the field. At that time, Dabisas stayed behind and was ready to help at any time, Zagorakis stayed in the backcourt and was ready to intercept at any time. Figo had Yanakopolos in the matchup, and only Cristiano was left embarrassingly. .

The Portuguese No. 17, who was underestimated, was actually very angry. After all, he is also the famous No. [-] of Manchester United. How about the Prince number?You people who underestimated him will definitely be punished!

And when he saw the dark blond-haired man overcoming obstacles all the way, carrying the ball into the restricted area of ​​Greece gracefully and gorgeously like lightning, and seeing the oncoming person seem to be glowing from top to bottom, Cristiano was so excited that his whole body was feverish.

This is football, this is elegance!

This is, power!

Juan has already dribbled the ball into the penalty area. At this moment, Cristiano's position is much better, but it is very likely that he will be offside. Juan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to hand the ball to the side impatiently Captain Figo who wants the ball.

When passing the ball with one kick, Juan only felt a gust of cool wind behind him, and he subconsciously turned around at a quick step—this can be regarded as one of his stunts, and he liked it since he was a child in Castiaguti Greeting people from behind, in order to avoid back bruises, both he and Raul have mastered this skill, and only Cassie, who is relatively slow, keeps getting hit and screams from the beating.

Facts have proved that Juan's stunt is still very useful. The strong wind slid past his cheeks, causing his hair to flutter. Juan narrowed his eyes and stepped back, watching the opponent stagger twice. After noticing his gaze She also stared at him fiercely several times.

Sitaridis, Greece's number 2, had been following one of his defenders just now.

Seeing him looking over, the Greek immediately straightened up and muttered a lot. Juan raised his eyebrows and looked at him and ignored him. The other party immediately stepped forward to push him.

At the same time, after receiving the ball, Figo immediately slanted into the sideline and headed towards the small penalty area. Although there was another person defending close to him, he was confident that as long as he could give him an angle, he would be able to pass the ball Into the goal of Greece!

However, things went against his expectations. The moment he kicked, the Greek players around him collided with him. Figo's center of gravity was unstable for a moment, but at this moment, his ball had already been kicked.

Figo secretly said that he was not good and was ready to chase the ball, but the football was already heading for the gate of Greece!

The Greek goalkeeper Nikopolidis was already holding his breath, ready to send the ball out of the sideline at any time, but at this moment, a fiery red figure flashed past.

Nikopoli Diston immediately sounded the siren. No matter how he flew out, he was about to hit the ball out of the sideline. Now it depends on whether he is one step faster or that person is faster!

Obviously, Portugal has no shortage of boys who can outrun the wind.Nikopolidis only felt a flash in front of his eyes, a pair of Nike sneakers flashed in front of him, and then the European Cup match ball "navigation chart" disappeared from his sight.

He threw himself on the ground hopelessly, turned around and looked back, red and green flags were waving all over the sky, everyone stood up and cheered almost crazily, roaring, and the Portuguese national anthem resounded throughout the audience.

"Al!! Cristiano Ronaldo! Supplementary shot against Figo!!" The commentary hall of Sky Sports was about to be overturned, let alone the scene of the Dragon Stadium, "Portugal's first European Cup in its home country Goal, from Portugal number 17!"

The big No. 17 appeared in the camera, and the Portuguese teenager galloped to his heart's content, showing his happiest smile on the court.He ran along the sideline to find Juan, but at this moment, the referee blew his whistle, touched his pocket, and raised his card.

yellow card!

What, what's going on?The referee awarded Portugal's goal just now, who is this yellow card for now?

Everyone was at a loss for a moment, but the three parties were not included.When the referee hurriedly crossed the half court, holding up the yellow card all the way forward, Juan just looked at him calmly, while the other two people, one Sitaridis, knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and didn't know where they were. What do you think, another Dabi Sass is raising his hand to ask for a timeout and calling the team doctor.

The hearts of the whole of Portugal were tightened.

Although their attention was focused on the wonderful goal just now, what is the situation now?

Juan is about to get a yellow card?

Seeing that the referee's direction was Juan, the entire Portuguese team didn't care about celebrating, and led people to gather in that direction to find out what happened. Naturally, they couldn't let Juan receive a yellow card like this!

However, when the Greek and Portuguese players gathered in the past, a jaw-dropping scene happened.

The referee is not a professional player, so he ran relatively slowly. When he stood between the two people, he couldn't help taking a breath. The Portuguese players looked at each other, and Figo stepped forward: "Sir, what happened just now?" What's the matter, what happened to Juan?"

"Maybe you can watch the replay." The referee finally calmed down, and then - he extended the yellow card directly to Sitaridis.

All the people who were defending Juan were all silent.

... To be honest, even they, when they saw the situation just now, thought that Juan was going to take a card. Who knew that the person who looked weaker was awarded a card by the referee instead?

Because of the special situation on the field, the video will only be played back from now on.

First of all, it all started when Juan got the ball.

After getting the ball, he headed towards the Greek half, facing Dabisas, and was about to form a siege. Even if he watched the scene again, he would feel extremely thrilling. At that time, Juan didn't seem to care at all. He seemed to have foreseen what was going to happen in the future, he kicked his feet, and jumped up lightly, his flying hair was as bright as a little prince.

——In the replay, even though many people's attention is attracted by Juan's appearance, there are always some people who can see the facts clearly, and they have seen it with their own eyes.

Almost all three people's feet stretched out at this moment, and they stomped down hard, not the kind that retrieved the spikes.

If this step is solid, no matter which direction it is, it will be a fatal blow!

Juan solved all this in fours and twos.

After that, Dabias stretched his jersey and Juan's high-speed change of direction was seen by everyone. It was not until Dabias fell to the ground in pain and Sitaridis began to push him, that everyone was shocked. call.

In fact, many people saw this scene at the time, but all of them were focused on the goal. Cristiano's goal made them dizzy with joy, so they didn't pay attention to what happened here.

The replay and slow-motion are still going on, Figo's several movements are very stable, and the speed of Cristiano's final shot is amazing, everyone is amazed when they look at it——

So the audience booed Greece even more intensely.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with them. According to a common saying, the only way to keep a person who wants to leave is to break his legs.

And then it may be Dabisas' injury. After changing direction and intercepting, the Greek No. 4 did not give up and ran for two steps before gritting his teeth and stopping. Sitaridis had already run away for several steps. Sweating coldly, he couldn't help but wanted to support him, but at this time Juan happened to pass by, and Sitaridis, who was in a rage, wanted to push him, and shouted at him: "You can't call me!" Suspend the game?"

He spoke in German, and Juan looked at a loss, after all, there was no option for German among his proficient languages.But he knew that it was true that Sitaridis wanted to push him, so he avoided it subconsciously, and the two of them fell to the ground suddenly with an unsteady center of gravity, thus forming the scene just now.

The linesman noticed the situation here and quickly signaled to the fourth official and the referee that Portugal scored a goal at this time. After hastily signaling that the goal was valid, the referee blew his whistle and rushed towards Juan holding up the yellow card.

Pushing people at home in Portugal, not to mention the home whistle, just ignoring this can make everyone start booing them.

And Juan was really at a loss throughout the whole process. He really didn't understand what the opposing player said, and thought he was going to provoke a fight. It wasn't until the Greek team doctor stepped forward to help Dabisas down that he seemed to realize something. Pulling the staff passing by, he asked, "Excuse me..." He repeated what Sitaridis said just now from memory, "What does this mean?"

The opponent's staff member seemed to be German, but he also seemed to understand English. He glanced at him and said, "'Call me the team doctor'... that's pretty much what it means."

For a while, Juan touched his nose and was a little embarrassed. He could only watch Dabisas go off, and when he returned to Portugal, his face was still worried.

"What's the matter Juan?" Cristiano was very concerned. Although he was already sweating because of the rapid attack just now, his eyes were still shining when he looked over.

"It's okay..." Juan was silent for a while, then sighed, "I think it's time to learn German." How bad would it be to cause today's embarrassment again?

"You still learn?" Cristiano was stunned. "Spanish, Portuguese, English... Now you want to learn German?"

"It's very necessary. What if I go to the Bundesliga in the future? No one can tell." Juan was serious, and Andrade was about to cry.

Little brother, what about Deportivo?Super Laco is crying...

Dabisas went off the field for treatment. Greece temporarily played ten to eleven. It was a bit difficult to deal with Portugal and there was one less defender. Greece's goal began to become precarious, especially Juan. He couldn't wait to pull Sitaridis over to apologize, but thinking that he didn't know German, he was even more troubled.

The game was spent in Portugal 1-0 Greece. The only goal in the game came from Cristiano. Ge attended.

So Figo finally felt the embarrassment of being asked all kinds of questions.

Now sitting in front of him are all kinds of reporters from all over Europe, so no matter what kind of strange questions will arise, such as——

"Figo, what do you think?"

Although this sentence has a very standard way of praising teammates, being humble, and expressing respect to the opponent at the same time, once the name filled in the blank becomes a certain beauty, Figo can only wave his hands in embarrassment: "We only talk about the game, Don't you have anything to ask?"

There are a lot of questions that the competition wants to ask.

"Do you have any thoughts on Juan Diaz being shoved at the end?"

"How much do you think Juan Dias can score with his performance in the team?"

"Luis, if you had a choice, would you sleep with Juan Diaz or Roberto Carlos?"

... No, he just wanted to know what evil he had committed to be reduced to the point where he could only choose these two people.
