[Football] Crown of Thorns

June 6, Durban, South Africa

Durban, formerly known as Port Natal, is the largest city in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa and the main seaport in South Africa.

The climate here is like spring all the year round, and the seaside scenery is beautiful. It is a famous tourist destination.

Durban City originally had a prestigious Kings Park Stadium. After winning the right to host the 2010 World Cup, the South African Football Association, the World Cup Organizing Committee and the Durban City Government decided to build a new modern stadium instead of using the Kings Park Stadium. Durban Stadium - This new stadium can accommodate [-] fans to watch the game. The design of the stadium is ingenious. There is a viaduct built above it that runs through the east and west. The bridge looks like a bright rainbow , embellishing the stadium extremely magnificently.

"Speaking of which, this stadium should be quite beautiful, but it's a pity we didn't get a panoramic view."

The Portuguese players who got out of the bus after being pulled directly into the passageway inside the stadium murmured, regretting not being able to see the most beautiful Rainbow Bridge.

"Actually, you can see the panorama on TV."

Gama turned to talk to Veloso.

"I personally think it would be best if you could get a closer look."

Veloso looked serious.

"Do you know a word," Jia Ma said solemnly, "the smell is far away and the smell is near."

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe~~~"

Gama smiled and said nothing.

Veloso pressed on his shoulder, "Bastard, are you laughing at me?"

"Hey~~"

Gama continued to laugh, but didn't explain.

The two fought and followed the team to the locker room assigned to them. They were still the home lottery today, so the home team locker room belonged to them.

"Actually, what difference does it make to win the home lottery? You can warm up first? Will the Brazilian team still wear their yellow jerseys, or the home team's locker room is better than the visiting team's locker room?"

Coentram put his arm on Veloso's shoulder and asked.

"I don't know about that either."

"In that case, can we visit the visiting team's locker room?"

Coentram continued to ask curiously.

Then he got a slap attack from someone.

"Hey, who hit me???"

The teammates laughed, but no one admitted it.

Classmate Cohen, who turned into an angry bird, waved his fist in the air, "I won't let him go if I catch him."

hehe~~

Jia Ma reached out and stroked the golden hair on his head, "Be good, don't make trouble!"

"Xiko, I'm older than you."

"Hehe~"

Gama smiled.

His smile made Coentram shrink back, "Miguel, Hiko's smile is so scary!"

Veloso suppressed a smile, "Good boy, don't make trouble."

"You come too!!!"

"good!"

When the Portuguese team walked into the player tunnel after warming up, they happened to meet the Brazilian players going out to warm up.

"Cris!"

"Wow, Kaka!"

Pepe rushed over and hugged Kaka, the core player of the Brazilian team.

It seems that although Kaka cannot play today, he still came to the scene and followed up in the locker room.

However, Kaka and Pepe just left him after hugging him for a while, and hugged Ronaldo with a smile.

The hug between the two lasted for quite a while before they let go of their hands, but they were still very close to each other, whispering something.

Gama stared at these two top football stars today. When the two of them looked at each other, there was the same tenderness in their eyes. It was definitely the expression of emotion that only close friends would have. It seemed that the outside world It is rumored that they are always doing publicity together, which is Real Madrid's public relations image. The rumors that the two are really on good terms are not true. Anyone can feel their relationship as long as they look closely at the feeling of the two of them together. It's very close, the relationship is really good.

"Sure enough, they are people of the same level, that's why they have such a good relationship."

Coentram, who was lying on Gama's back like a lazy bone, muttered.

Jia Ma thought for a while, then nodded, "You're right!"

As football superstars of the same level, they are friends who can get along with each other on an equal footing. Although friendship is precious, the difference between the two sides should not be too large, otherwise there is no way to be long-term friends.

"Okay, okay, let's go first!"

But although he looks a little sloppy without a beard, Kaka is really handsome!

Jia Ma looked at the two people who were intimate together, but my team leader is also quite handsome, and they look very good together.

"Shiko!"

"I'm coming!"

The teammates of the Portuguese team left one after another. Before Gama turned around, he noticed that Ronaldo completely ignored his teammates and was still talking with Kaka.

It seems that even Pepe, their good friend in the Real Madrid club, can't interrupt the communication between the two. Poor Pepe seems to be used to the way the two of them do it. She shrugged and followed the team to evacuate first. .

…………

A lot of tactical analysis has been done before the game, so Bento didn't say anything more before the game started.

After the coach and the non-starters walked out, the starters in the locker room began their habitual relaxation as usual.

Because today's game does not involve the issue of whether the two teams qualify, so everyone is not very nervous about the game, chatting and playing P is very idle.

"Brazil's starting lineup is out!"

Coentraan, who was chatting with Gama, said.

"Didn't the sir just say that?"

Gama shrugged.

In fact, Coentraan, who was just looking for something to say, smiled and secretly glanced at their captain, and poked Gama, "Chico, what do you think of the Brazilian team replacing Kaka with Baptista today?"

"Well, it's hard to say," Gama thought for two seconds, "Although Baptista is not bad, if he wants to replace Kaka, he's not close."

"Actually, I find it very strange that among the few people Kaka said could take his place in the interview, it seems that he didn't mention Baptista!"

Coentrane pouted.

"It's the manager's job to put in which players to play."

Gama shrugged.

"Chico," Coentrao said in a low voice, "I saw Ronaldo reading a magazine yesterday."

"playboy?"

"Get lost," Coentram slapped Gama on the back, "It's Global Sports."

But seeing Gama's puzzled face, he whispered, "It's a sports magazine in Brazil, a well-known professional sports magazine, that's not the point," he said, "I saw the headline on the cover. , which says 'Kaka is hard to replace'."

"anything else?"

Gama asked.

Coentram spread his hands, "I didn't see it."

"Cut, it's really useless."

"I dare not take the magazine in Ronaldo's hand, he reads it so seriously."

Coentran replied.

The two young guys were muttering aside, and Pepe, who was sitting not far from the two of them, also came over.

Jia Ma laughed, "Don't talk to the captain."

Pepe winked at them, "Look at how far away Cristiano is, he can't hear anything I tell him now."

His description made the two teenagers burst out laughing.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about how the Brazilian team will play without Kaka, and whether Baptista can replace Kaka."

Coentram answered very eloquently.

Gama glared at him, but Pepe smiled easily, "It's okay, I'm indeed a supporter of the Brazilian team if you don't mention Portugal."

"Then what do you think Brazil will do without Kaka?"

"I don't know much about this, but Mr. Zagallo said that' Kaka, Elano, Robinho and Fabiano form an attacking line, which is the most balanced offense and defense of the Brazilian team. The most balanced choice. Winning any one of them and switching to others will inevitably lead to an imbalance in offense and defense. It is dangerous to be stronger in offense than defense, and it is impossible to win if defense is stronger than offense...', I think Mr. Zagallo That's very good," Pepe winked again, "We've already qualified anyway, it's good that Kaka isn't here, we can take it easy."

His answer made them both laugh.

"No, I don't want to face Kaka, at least not now," Coentraan said seriously, "I guess I can't guard against him now."

Jia Ma blinked: But I think, I really want to, that's Kaka, I never dreamed of facing the superstar Kaka, even if I can't compare with him, I want to compare with him!

"I feel a little sorry!"

In the end, Gama just said this.

His words made Pepe look at him for a few seconds, with a strange look in his eyes.

In the end, Pepe just patted Gama on the shoulder, "There will be a chance."

However, although the relationship between the core players of the two teams is quite good, after arriving at the competition venue, the fans of both sides were not very friendly.

With the sound of music, players from the two teams walked into the field holding the hand of the little caddy.

The fans on the sidelines made all kinds of screams, and fans in all kinds of fancy clothes can be seen everywhere. These eye-catching shots were captured from time to time in the live shots and played, and they also received countless applause or laughter.

The captains of the two teams exchanged team flags on the court, and several shots were shown on the sidelines, which made the audience suddenly burst into laughter and followed by angry curses from the Portuguese fans.

It turned out that in the Brazil fans gathering area, several fans played a provocative slogan against C Ronaldo, "there is only one Ronaldo in the world, and he is a Brazilian". The fans next to him were dressed as Ronaldo and rode on an ostrich. He raised his left index finger and shook it back and forth.

The Portuguese fans who saw this scene were very indignant, and they shouted in unison, "There is only one Ronaldo, he is ours."

At this time, in the Portugal fan area, a blonde girl wearing a Portugal jersey held up a big slogan, "Ronaldo, I love you!"

The surrounding Portuguese fans started to applaud her.

The Brazilian fans over there immediately started yelling "There is only one Ronaldo, he is Brazilian!"

Before the game started, the fans of both sides were already fighting.
