[Football] Crown of Thorns

On July 2018, 7, the Luzhniki Stadium, the second match of the World Cup semi-final, the match between Brazil and Portugal is about to start.

The stadium before the game was quite lively. Apart from the fans who came to watch the games of both teams, local fans also occupied most of the neutral stands.

In the boxes of the stadium, many high-ranking political officials, celebrities from all over the world, and stars in the entertainment and sports circles were present, and the few boxes were packed to the brim.

In addition, there are Russian stars singing at the scene...

The Portuguese team that has drawn the away lottery is waiting in the visiting team lounge.

The TV screen hanging on the wall in the lounge is constantly playing live broadcast images, and occasionally the players in the lounge will exclaim because of people flashing on the camera.

"Shiko!"

Gama, who was leaning on the sofa chair with his eyes closed, heard Veloso's voice.

Due to a leg injury, Veloso will not play in today's game, so he is more leisurely looking around to watch things outside.

"how?"

Gama didn't open his eyes.

"Miss Monet is here too?"

"I know."

Hearing Veloso's question, Gama knew that he would not be able to be quiet for a while.

Opening his eyes, Gama turned his head, "Little Amy is going to watch the game, she is worried."

"I knew that England had already been eliminated..."

Veloso muttered.

"Little Amy really looks better with age."

Although she is only four years old now, little Amy is not only a little beauty in appearance, but also quite outstanding in IQ. For a while, friends who were hurt said with a smile that they should send little Amy To test IQ or something.

Gamma: Little Amy was tested by her mother when she was just three years old.

Lost friends: ==

Jia Ma: I'm not very happy (English)... I'm scared when I think of 'Injury Zhongyong' (Chinese)...

Lost friends: what are you talking about?

Gama: nothing...

Gama: Monet is really boring. It doesn't matter if she has a high IQ. Little Amy just needs to be his little princess. What kind of test are you doing?

……

Little Amy: Be good, Daddy, I won't dislike you!

Gama(-__-)b: ...

Who did my daughter learn this poisonous tongue school from?

Monet: Hehe!

…………

"Ann, do you know about this?"

Veloso, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, rolled his eyes and asked Furtado.

Furtado, who was listening to music with headphones on, looked over, "I know!"

This time, not only Monet came to the scene with his daughter, Joanna and her little singer husband brought their son, their father Ernesto, his wife and their three children also came to the scene to watch It's game.Even Gama's manager, Old Tiha, brought his two sons and daughters to watch the match.

Speaking of which, after all these years of knowing each other, it was the first time for Gama to see old Tiha's children.

Gama: Luckily, they don't look like you.

Old Tiha: What do you mean?

Gama: It means they look good, but you are too ugly!

Old Tiha: Hehe, believe it or not, I'll take all your money away?

Gama: Go ahead!

Qiongna, who was watching and choking the two, laughed at her husband: The relationship between the two of them is really good.

Fanu: Hehe, is this called affection?

Ernesto: This...

After remarrying, he and his wife with two children had another little daughter, even though Joanna kept urging him not to worry about Xiko and didn't mind...

But because he has always felt guilty for his eldest son, Ernesto has been afraid to face Gama these years.

Ernesto finally came with his wife and children until he got the box tickets for his family to watch the game from Gamato Qiona.

Gama looked at the scene where Veloso deliberately challenged Furtado with a smile on his lips, and watched Furtado's response with evil humor...

"Shiko!"

After fighting with Veloso, Furtado looked helplessly at Gama who was watching with interest.

"Your parents are here too."

Gama just laughed.

"Well, we've already made it to the semi-finals, so don't come again...Hmph!"

Furtado shrugged.

Furtado is different from most poor players. His family is considered a middle class in Portugal, and the living conditions are quite good. However, his parents are the kind of people who don’t pay much attention to football in the Portuguese circle except for running the family business. Furtado, who liked football since he was a child, entered the Benfica youth training camp by himself and chose to become a professional player. Although he has a good relationship with his parents since he was an independent child, he really doesn't communicate much with his parents about football.

Talking and laughing like this, Gama looked around. After entering the semi-finals, many family members of players who had not been here before also gathered in Moscow. It can be said that the family members of the Portuguese national team alone occupied half of the stands.

The arrival of the watching family group is a kind of encouragement and also a kind of pressure for everyone.

"I'm a little scared!"

Some people crossed themselves while others were excited.

"That means we have to work harder!"

Due to Veloso's injury, Coentrao, who will start this game, is particularly active, laughing endlessly.

"Although Fabio doesn't have a brain and can't speak, this sentence is definitely right."

Jia Ma reached out and grabbed the golden retriever by the neck, with a threatening expression on his face.

Coentraan showed a silly smile on his face, "Xiko, I've been right all along!"

After arguing with Cohen for a while, Gama scanned around, "Where's the robot?"

"I went to the pre-match press conference."

Furtado replied.

"Oh~"

Jia Ma lazily lay down again, "I'll rest for a while."

Furtado shook his head, "What are you sleeping on, get up and get ready, the game is about to start."

After the press conference is over, as soon as the coach and the others come back, they will start the last small meeting before the game, and reiterate the starting list, and then the game will begin.

Gama stretched his waist with a bad smile on his face, "Baby is tired, you need to kiss to get up~~"

After a moment of coaxing, booing and whistling erupted in the lounge, and there was chaos.

Furtado blushed, and froze there helplessly.

"Kiss, kiss, quick kiss!!!"

Amidst the laughter around, everyone beat the wall and slapped the table, causing a commotion.

Seeing Furtado froze on the spot, Jia Ma stood up hesitantly, walked over like a dandy, and lifted his finger under Furtado's chin.

"Come on, give me a smile."

"……roll!"

Futado, who finally came to his senses, let out a low growl angrily.

Seeing him like this, Jiama laughed loudly, and suddenly leaned his head forward, and kissed Furtado's lips, "Tsk tsk, I heard that thick lips are the most comfortable to kiss, as expected!"

This time, Furtado's face was really red from top to bottom.

Hahaha, the room was full of laughter, and someone shouted that I want to kiss too~~

Jia Ma glanced at the guy shouting over there, tsk, there are still a lot of idiots in the team!

Coentraang and Veloso, who slapped the table and booed, were leaning back and forth laughing.

"I didn't expect Xiko to have such a side."

Golden Retriever said.

Veloso touched his chin, "I didn't expect that Xiko, who has been teased all the time, is also good at playing!"

Jia Ma smiled: No matter what, Leizi is also a man who has played in the nightlife, so he doesn't know what means?It's just whether he wants to play or not!

It was a joke, and when the coach and the captain came back, everyone in the lounge had adjusted their moods and was waiting for the game.

"...I won't say anything else," Santos clapped the tactical board in his hand. "The opponent is Brazil, a five-star Brazil. We must raise our spirits and go all out. Of course, we don't need to be afraid..."

After the coach who boosted morale went out, the captain of the national team Ronaldo stood up.

He looked at his teammates, at the brothers who had struggled together all these years, with a very fighting smile on his face.

"victory!"

He stretched out his hand.

"victory!"

Everyone held out their hands.

"We have nothing to fear!"

He yelled again.

"Fearless!"

Everyone joined him and roared.

"set off!"

…"Hello audience friends, I am broadcasting the second match of the 2018 World Cup semi-finals live for you at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the capital of Russia. The match between Brazil and Portugal is about to start. Let's take a look at the situation... "

"The players have shown up on the pitch."

"The two sides are in the pre-match ceremony, and the captains of the two sides are exchanging team flags..."

"For the current Brazilian team, I am quite optimistic. Since the Brazilian team changed coaches in September 2016, the new coach of this team, Mr. Tite, has put the team together and formed a team. Quite a deterrent team..."

"After Dunga left, the coach of the Brazilian Corinthians Club Tite took over the mess left by Dunga and became the coach of the Brazilian national team. He also became the fourth head coach of the Brazilian national team in four years...Tite Mr. Te has considerable reputation in Brazil. He once led the Corinthians to win the Libertadores Cup in 2012 with an unbeaten record, and then led the team to beat the Champions League champion Chelsea with a score of 1-0. The next Club World Cup has created a classic battle of South American teams against European giants that has been rare for many years..."

"I introduced the Brazilian team, let's talk about the Portuguese team. Santos also took over the mess left by his predecessor..."

"The game is about to start, so I will broadcast today's starting lineups for everyone..."

Brazil (4312):

Goalkeeper: Alisson

Defenders: Alves, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Felipe Luis;

Defenders: Coutinho, Douglas Costa, Casemiro;

Midfielder: Lucas Lima;

Forwards: Neymar, Firmino.

Portugal (433):

Goalkeeper: Patricio;

Defenders: Furtado, Fonte, Guerrero, Coentrao;

Midfielders: Vasco da Gama, Adrian, Renato Sanchez;

Forwards: C-Ronaldo, Andre Silva, Quaresma.

"Judging from the roster, since the new coach took office, the former captain Thiago Silva, who was re-elected to the national team, has always been in the main defensive lineup, and today's starting lineup is exactly the same as the previous game..."

"The Portuguese team's starting lineup has undergone many changes. The two defenders, Veloso and Pepe, both missed due to injuries. Coentrao returned to the starting lineup. He will play against Guerrero, Fonte and Furtado Town. At the back, while in midfield, Adrian from Sporting Lisbon was in the starting XI for the first time..."

"Today's referee is Mark Giger from the United States, and his assistant referees are Mark Hurd from the United States and Joe Fletcher from Canada...Okay, this is the general introduction..."

On the court, the referee raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then he blew hard.

Game start!
