[Football] Crown of Thorns

“从数据上来看，德国此前10次欧洲杯首战均保持不败(5胜5平)，而在2010年世界杯半决赛以0比1负西班牙后德德国在正式比赛(两大杯及预选赛)取得11连胜，不过欧洲杯预选赛结束后的5场热身他们仅胜了2场，而在今年对阵法国与瑞士的比赛中全部败北……”

"In today's game, Mertesacker, who had just recovered from his injury, failed to enter the starting lineup, and Hummels and Bad Stuber partnered as central defenders. This game is also Podolski's 98th time in the national team. The record of appearances and appearances is tied with Ballack for the 7th place among German internationals..."

Due to the boring game on the field, the host began to talk about some statistics of the two teams in the broadcast screen.

“……葡萄牙在欧洲杯之前的热身赛里，6场比赛1胜3平2负，在今年的三场热身赛2平1负仅攻入1球……葡萄牙此前一共参加了5次欧洲杯，从未在小组赛出局……在与土耳其热身赛中右脚受伤的纳尼及时恢复首发。”

“德国和葡萄牙之前一共交锋过17次，德国战绩为8胜5平3负。欧洲杯3次遭遇各胜1场……”

“2008年欧洲杯1/4决赛德国3比2晋级，2006年世界杯三四名决赛也曾经击败葡萄牙……”

"Before the game, the German team said that they would strive to win the 3-game winning streak against Portugal in the big competition..."

When Baraba was filling the boring screen of the broadcast with various data in the studio, various boos gradually sounded in the stadium.

It was originally thought to be the first exciting game of this year's game, but I didn't expect the game to be so boring, and the fans on the scene didn't buy it.

Whether it is the fans of the two teams or the fans of the third party, they are constantly fighting among various voices.

Because the fans came from afar, but witnessed such a dull scene, some fans began to vent their dissatisfaction in their own ways.

Especially in the fan area behind the goal of the German national team, a large number of fans began to throw paper balls and other debris into the field.

In an instant, the place close to the stand was filled with all kinds of messy debris, which made the staff nervous. The players on the benches of the two teams hid under the canopy at the request of the staff. , the riot police in the stands took up their shields and erected them in front of the audience.

The staff on the sidelines hurriedly picked up the rubbish.

Perhaps affected by these off-court factors, the players on both sides on the court seemed a little absent-minded, and various mistakes would occur from time to time.

The two coaches on the sidelines couldn't help feeling a little anxious, standing on the sidelines and gesturing to the players on the field.

Because he is the midfielder responsible for organizing and commanding on the field, Gama has to constantly observe the positions of the players and glance at the coach on the sidelines from time to time to see if there are any timely instructions, so he quickly discovered the coach's movements.

Gama raised his right hand and made a "WHY" gesture to coach Bento, and then he nodded to indicate that he had received the instructions.

Then Gama yelled to the nearby teammates while running, reminding them to pay attention to their positions.

After receiving a signal from their nearby teammates, the Portuguese team launched an offensive.

Gama dribbled the ball past the opponent from the center, then slanted into the side, then swayed and then kicked a long pass, and he drove to the left with this kick.

On the left, Ronaldo stopped the ball with his chest and swayed his feet. He stepped on his bicycle and swayed Boateng and then made a cross. Postiga made a mistake and missed the ball. A ball directly destroyed the bottom line.

Although the attack was unsuccessful this time, Gama still clapped his hands and signaled his teammates to continue the attack.

The German team's offense also came over.

Khedira, who received a pass from his teammate, was attacked by Meirelles and fell to the ground when he dribbled the ball. However, he still passed the ball when he fell to the ground. Gomez fell to the ground 13 meters in front of the goal and fired. Into the bottom left corner of the goal.

The Germans celebrated excitedly, but the referee Lanoit from France blew the goal invalid on the grounds that Meireles fouled first.

The Germans seemed a little angry, but they didn't protest too much, and then they were ready to take a free kick.

Gama, who was a little thankful that the ball was invalid, stuck out his tongue, "Fortunately!"

"Yes, very lucky."

Veloso, who was about to line up the wall, nodded.

However, the two turned their heads to look at Meirelles at the same time, "Be careful, Jose!"

Meirelles, who got a topaz commemorative card, looked up at the sky, "I didn't mean to."

"Hehe~"

The two spoke in unison, no need to explain who it was!

Podolski is about to take a free kick. This is a free kick 25 meters in front of the goal. Podolski takes a free kick with his left foot. The ball bounces off the wall and Khedira grabs it. Point make-up shot, the ball hit high.

Portugal's possession of the ball.

After receiving the ball thrown by the goalkeeper, Pepe passed it with his feet. Although the outside world said that Pepe has no strengths other than defending with his body and can't pass the ball, in Gama's opinion, Pepe's pass is not very bad. Yes, at least he's pretty good at passing the ball without anyone interfering. You see, he passed this long pass...Damn it!

Jia Ma galloped like an antelope and jumped high, put his back against his opponent and took off, stopped the ball on his chest, and the ball obediently slid down his chest to his toes. outgoing.

"Pretty!"

Perez, the host of Portuguese National Television, roared loudly.

Various broadcasts also applauded Gama's action of receiving and passing the ball, "It's really a perfect steal."

After Moutinho got the passed ball, he immediately kicked a low shot from the outside, but unfortunately the ground ball missed the right post.

Next came the performance of the German, Ozil made a low pass from the left, Portugal's back leak man, the unmarked Podolski volleyed with his left foot from 12 meters in front of the goal, and the football flew over the crossbar go out.

This time, Gama took possession of the ball and walked to the side. Gama, who was running forward while dribbling the ball, raised his arm to signal his teammates to move forward.

After passing the double-team of the German, Gama passed the ball, and the ball was passed to Nani.

Nani catches the ball and hits the goal, he is tackled from behind by Badstuber

The referee shows Badstuber the yellow card.

The first half is coming to an end, and the ball is on Portugal's side.

Gama looked at the time on the sidelines, took a breath, and raised his hand for the ball.

Breaking through from the middle, Gama made several consecutive moves and kicked. Ronaldo caught the ball and hit the goal. The ball was destroyed by Hummels and went out of the baseline.

Corner kick for Portugal.

Right corner, Veloso took a corner kick, he played the ball in front of the goal, the ball was jumped by Schweinsteiger with his head, the popped ball was received by Pepe, he was about 11 meters in front of the goal Stopped the ball at the place and pushed with his right foot. The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and hit the goal line and bounced back into the field.

"Did the ball go in?"

The players of the Portuguese team felt that the ball had already entered the net, but the on-site director immediately replayed the scene. The slow motion showed that the football as a whole had not crossed the line.

At this time, the first half of the game ended, and the two teams scored a goalless draw in the first half of the game.

Under the watchful eyes of many fans in the stands, players from both sides exited the field at an extremely fast speed.

Gama, who returned to the locker room, sighed.

"what happened?"

asked Veloso, who was drinking from a water glass.

"It's nothing, I just felt that the first half was not very good."

Gama tore off his jersey, wiped his sweat with a towel, and sighed.

"……Um!"

Veloso put down the water bottle and nodded.

Coach Bento walked in, "About the first half of the game, although I said before that you should not be influenced by the outside world, but..."

At this time, the stadium began to broadcast. In view of the "paper rain" attack in the first half of the match between the German team and the Portuguese team, especially for the Portuguese team, German fans near the corner flag area frequently went to the German team when there was a corner kick. Throwing paper balls and other debris in the field seriously interfered with the Portuguese players kicking off.During the serious protest of the Portuguese team, in order to avoid further aggravation of the situation, the Ukrainian Lviv Euro Cup stadium issued a stern warning on the radio: "If the fans continue to throw paper balls and other sundries into the stadium, which seriously interferes with the normal order of the game, our The match will be cancelled!"

In the locker room, Bento walked out after talking about the tactical arrangements for the second half.

The golden retriever came over and stabbed Gama, "Xiko, let's increase our offensive in the second half!"

"Oh, so you can come forward and attack?"

Even though the commentators criticized the game for nothing in the first half, but for Gama, this is actually quite normal. Their defense did not come forward to assist many times today. Overall, the defense is relatively stable. The German team also attaches great importance to the defense. Both sides are unwilling to have the situation of all-out attack, and they are afraid that their own defense will make mistakes.

In the first half, the two sides tried it out, so the second half is the time to fight.

"Shiko!"

Captain Ronaldo, whose main role in the first half was to attract the opponent's firepower, shouted.

"What's the matter, captain?"

"I want to score."

Not pass the ball to me, but I want to score!

Ronaldo said it very frankly, but everyone is already familiar with his style, so no one will think that he is arrogant or independent, but knows that he will go full fire.

Gama smiled, "No problem."

Hearing Gama's words, Ronaldo nodded in satisfaction, and then he went to fix his hair.

With a pop, Gama laughed softly.

Such a captain is really cute.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

At the beginning of the game, Muller of the German team passed the ball into the penalty area. After Podolski's left-footed shot was blocked and rebounded, Khedira's left-footed shot in front of the goal was blocked again. Muller grabbed the spot. Once again, Meireles shoveled the ball out of the baseline with a pass and shot.

"The German team attacked wildly from the beginning."

"The situation is looking good."

Ozil went to take a corner kick, and Khedira, who was in the air, slammed the header and the ball missed the left post.

Podolski made a cross from the left, and Gomez headed the ball over the crossbar 12 meters in front of the goal.

A series of strong attacks let the atmosphere of the German team suppress the Portuguese team for a while, and the connection of the Portuguese team's penalty area was seriously threatened.

Gama, who received the goalkeeper's throw, inhaled. Damn, the Germans are just as we thought!

Gama raised his arm, bent his fingers, and walked sideways.

Club teammate Hummels stepped forward and blocked Gama.

Gama pushed Hummels with his shoulders expressionlessly, turned around and exerted force again. Although Gama was much taller than Gama, Hummels couldn't help but take a step back with Gama's small movements. Then he just watched Gama deliberately go forward and hit him again, and the ball has already been passed while leaving him.

Moutinho received the ball and passed it straight to Pepe who rushed forward from the wing.

Pepe didn't stop the ball. It turned out that he was just a cover. Veloso, who rushed from behind him, kicked directly, and the football was passed back to Moutinho.

Moutinho dribbled forward with the ball, and Khedira, who was blocking him, slammed into him and stepped on his foot at the same time, and Moutinho fell to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle to suspend the game, and the Portuguese team doctor came in to check on Moutinho. After a few seconds of spraying and other treatment, Moutinho stood up and signaled that the game could continue.

However, although Khedira fouled, the referee only gave him a verbal warning but did not play a card.

Gama talked to the referee for a few words, but to no avail.

Then, the familiar scene reappeared.

One minute later, Coentraang, who was in the attack, stepped on Schweinsteiger's leg and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

It's a familiar formula and a familiar taste...

Gama rubbed his forehead, he didn't know what to say anymore.

Student Cohen actually dared to come over with an aggrieved face, "Xiko, you don't even speak for me."

"...Can I kill you?"

Gama smiled softly.

Cohen immediately backed away and yelled, "Xiko, you are getting less and less cute."

"Cute you ball!"

Gama was about to be pissed off by their Portuguese defenders.

After the MD game is over, I will beat you to death!
