[Football] Crown of Thorns

There are still a few days until the last round of the group match. This evening, the Portuguese national team completed the pre-match adaptation training at the Metalist Stadium in Kharkov, Ukraine. After the victory over Denmark in the last round of the group match The self-confidence of the entire Portuguese team has been greatly enhanced, allowing them to prepare for the final battle with the Netherlands in a more relaxed state of mind.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, the Portuguese team's training activities were only open to the media for the first 15 minutes. During this period, the players showed a very relaxed and happy mood...

The training started with jogging, and after the bones were loosened, the game of juggling started.

Everyone lined up in two rows facing each other, and each of them made a three-way pass to the teammate on the opposite side to pass to each other. Keep the ball on the ground, and those who make mistakes will be punished.

"What?"

Gama opened his eyes in surprise when he heard the punishment method for the party that made the mistake.

"Hey, this is really interesting."

Coentrao's interest was high.

All the teammates looked at Jin Mao silently in unison, because this kid was always unable to find the key point of the problem, and always inserted the wrong words.

By the way, the punishment for those who make mistakes in passing and catching the ball is to be "flicked in the head" by teammates.

What a childish rule... Gama.

"Fabio," Gama looked at the golden-haired classmate, "you have to take care."

"Huh? Oh..."

The golden retriever student tilted his head in confusion.

Sure enough, not surprisingly, the first person who made a mistake was Jin Mao.

So the teammates punished the golden retriever students by flicking their heads one by one.

After the second lap and the third lap... After repeating N times, the golden retriever covered his forehead which had already been knocked red and yelled 'miserably', "Captain!!!"

After the captain Ronaldo smiled brightly, he was a little bit embarrassed, because every time he was very happy and never tired of flicking Cohen's forehead, he was very happy to play!

All the teammates tilted their heads to look at Jia Ma.

Cohen, who seriously protested (profoundly doubted), applied for a change of position, "I don't want to stand opposite Xiko anymore, I want to stand with the captain."

Cohen: I'm 100% sure that bastard Xiko has been tricking me!

Teammates: It took you a few laps to react!

Gama licked his lips and smiled shyly, "I don't mind, although Fabio's suspicion makes me a little sad."

Ronaldo: Why did I suddenly feel a black mist rising behind Hiko.

Veloso: ... Fabio, you better wish for yourself!

Furtado: Sure enough, the national team is much more interesting than the youth team.

Teammates: We don't know what to say anymore. Since Fabio went to Real Madrid, he has become more and more stupid.

Now everyone's passing position is to stand opposite each other in two rows. Opposite Gama was originally a classmate of Cohen, but now it is replaced by Moutinho. Next to him is Veloso, and opposite Veloso is Furtado. Opposite Taduo is Master Pei, while captain Ronaldo is standing opposite Master Pei, and next to him is the former golden retriever classmate.

In the next few back and forth, most of the mistakes were made by the backcourt personnel-Koen Tran, note: the backcourt personnel.

The 15-minute game time ended, and all the teammates couldn't help but patted the heads of someone who was unlucky today...

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Someone finally hugged a certain young master and howled loudly.

A certain young master with a loving smile on his face, "Hey, don't interrupt or answer indiscriminately from now on!"

Someone choked with tears, "Obviously we were the ones who grew up together..."

"Hey, I'm the one who was eliminated!"

A certain young master smiled and continued to smile.

Seeing the stupidity of his former teammate, Furtado was deeply puzzled, and asked a question that Gama asked back then.

"Kopey, does Real Madrid really care about IQ when they buy players?"

Master Pei thought for a while and replied, "The main thing is to look at the face!"

Furtado: ...that makes sense, but I'm ashamed (not a typo) to say it.

………………

"Okay, okay, hurry back to the locker room, the game is about to start."

The staff of the coaching staff urged this group of unstressed bastards to go back quickly.

“大家好，现在是6月17日晚20：30分，2012欧洲杯B组最后一轮……”

"The starting lineups of both sides..."

葡萄牙队：12号帕特里西奥；21号若昂佩雷拉、4号维罗索、3号佩佩、5号科恩特朗；10号加马、

16号梅雷莱斯、8号穆蒂尼奥；17号纳尼、23号波斯蒂加、7号C罗纳尔多。

荷兰队：1号斯特克伦堡；2号范德维尔、13号弗拉尔、4号马泰森、15号威廉斯；23号范德法特、

8号奈杰尔-德容；10号斯内德、16号范佩西、11号罗本；9号亨特拉尔。

"Judging from the roster, the Portuguese team has followed the same starting configuration from the previous two games..."

"...The Dutch team changed drastically. The Bundesliga Golden Boot Huntelaar finally got the chance to start as the single arrow. Van Persie retreated and squeezed Afeilai to the bench. Van der Vaart also came in to replace Van Bommel. It was the 99th match for the national team. In addition, the central defender position of the Dutch team was changed again. Vlaar and Matheisen were paired up. It was the 50th time for goalkeeper Stekelenburg to wear the Dutch team jersey..."

“……不过从两队过往对战纪录上来看，自从1991年10月荷兰队在欧预赛主场1-0小胜葡萄牙队以后，荷兰队在双方近8场对战中橙衣军团的成绩是3平5负无一胜绩……”

Players from both sides came out and shook hands.

Seeing the Bundesliga Golden Boot Huntelaar, who has played several times in the past two seasons, Gama smiled meaningfully at him.

Huntelaar, the golden boot of the Bundesliga, shuddered involuntarily when facing Gama's smile.

"what happened?"

Noticing his friend's strange smile, Veloso asked in a low voice.

Jia Ma chuckled but didn't answer: He couldn't say that he thought of the meme about the Dutch three-stick guy who hit someone while eating and sleeping on Huaguo.com, right?

With the referee Rizzoli from Italy whistle, the game began.

At the beginning of the first half, the Dutch team played very proactively.

The Portuguese team passed the ball to Sneijder just after the center circle was intercepted by the Dutch team.

Sneijder dribbled the ball into the Portuguese penalty area and gave the ball to Van der Veer. Van der Veer on the right passed the Portuguese defense and immediately passed the ball back to Sneijder on the left. De volleyed directly to the goal.

But the volley was missed.

Sneijder squinted at Portugal's goal and slowly backed away.

The Portuguese team got the ball, and Gama rushed to the landing point first, but then he was directly hit by a momentum.

Gama took a step in the air, fell to the ground, and rolled twice. Jia Ma sat up, his mind was a little numb for a while... He was fouled?

Sitting on the ground looked up, the number [-] on the orange clothes made him raise his hand and put it down again in a daze—er, he was stopped by one of the two martial arts Qi Yao called Nan De Rong Bei Pei Pei ? ? ?

Oh my god, it hurts so much!

Jia Ma, who only realized it at this time, snapped his teeth, is it too late for him to roll a few more times?

Depend on!

The referee blew his whistle and gave a midfielder a set kick.

This distance can only be regarded as having won the ball!

Gamapy grinned and was picked up by Veloso, "Are you all right?"

Jia Ma, who carefully turned his ankle and twisted his waist, shook his head, "It's okay, it just hurts a little bit from the fall."

"Be careful, that's De Jong."

"I know, Shadowless Feet~~"

Gama complained.

Veloso patted him on the shoulder, turned and ran away.

However, 3 minutes later, the Dutch made consecutive tackles on the Portuguese in their backcourt. Their behavior made Ronaldo very dissatisfied. After seeing his teammate Postiga being tackled and fell to the ground again , Ronaldo yelled at the referee Rizzoli loudly.

The Italian Rizzoli pointed at Ronaldo to warn him not to be so emotional against the referee, and then he whistled for a foul on Van der Weil for infringing on Postiga, while awarding Portugal a free kick.

This is a free kick about 35 meters away from the goal. As the first penalty shooter of the national team, Ronaldo stood directly behind the football.

The Dutch team pushed out the wall, Ronaldo licked his lips, trotted two steps and volleyed vigorously.

It's a pity that this shot hit the Dutch team's wall and popped the bottom line.

The offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides were quite fast today. Portugal's offense just now turned into the Dutch team's counterattack in a blink of an eye.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Robben of the Dutch team dribbled the ball laterally from the right to attract the Portuguese defense. Gama, who was wandering near the center, was shocked and rushed back quickly to prepare for the defense while roaring loudly. , but Robben's speed is quite fast. Before Gama chased him, Robben was already drawing the opponent's defense and passing the ball, and the ball was passed to Van der Vaart.

Wearing the captain's armband, Van der Vaart, who represented the national team for the 99th time in this game, stopped the ball with his left foot 25 meters from the right rib in front of the Portuguese penalty area, and then shot a curved ball into the left corner of the goal.

1 to 0, the Dutch team took the lead to break the deadlock, leading by one goal.

After leading by one goal, the Dutch team played impressively. It can be said that they had the upper hand on the scene for a period of time.

Facing the Dutch team, which gained possession of the ball, the Portuguese team continued to insist on quick counterattacks.

Gama scored the ball from the center, Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left and then cut into the Dutch penalty area. Facing Vlaar's block, he hit the goal with his right foot. The ground ball hit the bottom of the post and popped out of the baseline.

Ronaldo waved his hand a little depressed, but he still remembered to turn around and give Gama a beautiful hand gesture.

Gama grinned and backed away with a gesture of 'watch out for the ball' towards the captain.

The Dutch team's ball, noticed that Gama, who was passing the ball to the opponent, pressed Van Persie forward, and the Premier League golden boot squinted at Gama with a stern look.

Gama smiled at him.

Van Persie frowned. He and Gamar had played games before, and he had a certain understanding of the core midfielder of the Hornet, so Van Persie didn't hesitate. He ran forward while colliding with Gamar.

However, Gamar didn't intend to follow his will. When Van Persie deliberately led him forward, Gamar bumped him with his shoulder and then suddenly withdrew his force.

Van der Veer, who was dribbling the ball, was interrupted by Gama's interception. In a hurry, Van der Veer immediately passed the ball to his teammate, but Van Persie on his oblique side was out of position, and Meirele, who cooperated with Gama tacitly Van der Wiel's return pass.

"Van de Wiel made a big mistake, he gave the ball directly to the opponent!!"

The commentary above the stadium shouted loudly.

Meirelles, who got the ball, pushes it with his feet and gives it to Postiga

Posti, who took the ball from the middle, turned back and kicked directly into the gap opened by the Dutch team. This almost single-handed pass unfortunately hit the attacking Stekelenburg and popped out of the bottom line.

Bento on the sidelines regretfully hit with both hands.

"Pity!"

In the Portuguese TV broadcast, the disappointed voice of the host was so clear.

On the field, Gama ran over to pat Postiga, "It's okay, there is still a chance."

"Ok, I know."

Postiga looked up and smiled.

Gama clapped his hands, "Keep going!"

Ronaldo over there also clapped his hands at his teammates, "Come on, come on!"
