[Football] Crown of Thorns

The Geneva Stadium, which can accommodate 2003 spectators, was officially opened in [-]. It was a modern stadium newly built for the European Cup at that time.

In addition to hosting international football matches, the Geneva Stadium is also used as a rugby stadium. Of course, it is also the home court of the Servet Ball Football Club in the Swiss First Division.

"However, why do I feel that this stadium looks very familiar?"

After warming up and taking a shower, the players of the Portuguese national team were chatting and spanking in the locker room.

The TV on the wall is showing the lively scene of the scene, because it is an international warm-up match at a neutral venue, except for the fans who followed the two teams, most of the 3 people in the stadium are local fans, so from the TV screen From the looks of it, the atmosphere of tit-for-tat is not strong, but it is more like a lively football carnival party.

The constantly jumping pictures in the live broadcast camera are sometimes celebrities found in the auditorium, and sometimes it is the bustling flow of people outside the stadium.

After several rounds of shots, Nani suddenly asked.

Hearing his question, many people looked up, and it happened that the screen showed the overall view of the stadium from above.

Everyone was stunned, really, this stadium really looks familiar, but they just can't tell why it looks familiar?

After a few seconds of silence, Meireles suddenly said, "New Wembley Stadium."

"what?"

After he said this, several people reacted.

"Yes, it looks like the new Wembley Stadium."

Nani clapped his hands.

Ronaldo stared at it for a few seconds and then nodded, "Yes, they are exactly the same."

For Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese national team, the new Wembley Stadium also has a special meaning, that is, his first international warm-up match after taking over as the captain of the national team was held there. The opponent in that game was Brazil national team.

"You can't say that, there are still differences," Meireles said seriously, "The new Wembley Stadium can seat 9 people, and here..."

He spread his hands and smiled.

He was familiar with the home stadium of the England national team when he played for Chelsea in the Premier League, because the new Wembley Stadium began to undertake the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 2007 after the renovation, as a player who played in the Premier League , He has been there a few times, of course, Nani at Manchester United is the same.

They were talking and laughing to pass the time, and their captain fell silent after joining in for a few words.

Gama was talking casually with his teammates while paying attention to Ronaldo.

Although the captain was adorning his hairstyle there as always, Gama felt that his mind didn't seem to be on it, because Ronaldo had picked up the same spray several times and put it down again under Gama's observation. After opening the bottle, they didn't open it and threw it away, not to mention that their captain, Mr. Ronaldo, is not the kind of person who is good at hiding his emotions. As long as you pay more attention, you can find that his emotions are a little anxious.

"Fabio," Gama gently poked the golden-haired classmate, "The captain is in a bad mood?"

The golden retriever gave Jia Ma a blank look, "What do you think?"

"Small, you've got fat!"

Jia Ma stretched out his hand and pinched the golden-haired classmate's face, but he didn't ask any more questions.

This season is not a good season for Ronaldo. His good friend has been recuperating for a long time due to serious injuries. For Ronaldo, who is so strong that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, the game is simply the deepest black history in his life-the defeat, and the selection of the Golden Globe this time, all of which made Ronaldo very unhappy.

It's hard to say why the Portuguese national team chose the Argentine national team to play this time, but I believe coach Bento must have said hello to Ronaldo.

The opponent is also present with all the main players, Messi, No.1 in today's football.

Facing such an opponent, Ronaldo's mood...you can imagine!

"Messi is really that powerful?"

Gama couldn't help muttering.

Now, he no longer watches the games like before and just casually scans the post-match episodes. Instead, he tries his best to find time to watch the live broadcasts of his own games and some important games that the coach has emphasized. If he can’t watch the live broadcast, he will look for replays Watch it carefully several times, but the feeling of seeing it from the camera must be very different from trying it in person.

"It's really beneficial."

Coentrao scratched the golden hair on his head, "How should I put it, Messi's breakthrough is really too, too much," he stroked his hand in the air, "You can't even tell what's going on, you just think he's so good Make a pick and break through, whether you intercept or tackle, when you face him, you are always one step short."

What he said made Jia Ma frowned, "Can't get a seat?"

"I can't tell why, but he doesn't seem to leave room for the opponent to block at all. As soon as you stick past him, he slips past, completely unstoppable."

Coentran shook his head.

"Unless there's a foul, it's really hard to guard him."

While they were whispering, Pepe also came over, "That guy is fast, and his dribbling in a small area is almost invincible. When you want to stop him, you will either be swayed by him or you can only foul him." Guard."

Jia Ma glanced at Master Pei, "You have suffered a lot from him!"

Pepe touched her bald head, "That guy is simply a card swiping machine."

"Because his technique is so good."

Classmate Cohen added.

"That's it!"

Gama looked up and thought about it. He had only watched Messi's performance on the field from the TV broadcast before. In terms of technology alone, it might really be like what Cohen and Pepe said. It is really easy to get cards if you go up to fight.

That little one is a bit like a hedgehog, it can't be handled or touched, it hurts your hands.

Veloso, who had been quietly listening to them talking about Messi, smiled, "Shiko, do you have a solution?"

Jia Ma shook his head, "I don't know if I haven't experienced it myself, but I have to try it today anyway."

Pepe also smiled, "How are you going to try?"

Jia Ma glanced at their captain, "How about I retreat a little bit today?"

"Will sir agree?"

"I'll go and talk to my husband," Gama thought for a while, "Fortunately, this is just a warm-up match, and you can try various formations and coordination. I don't think my husband will care too much about my idea of ​​trying."

Pepe nodded, "Then you'd better talk to your husband earlier."

Gama got up, looked at his watch, there was still an hour before the start of the game, and it was completely in time.

So he walked out of the locker room.

Ronaldo, who noticed that Gama was going out, gave him a strange look, and turned his gaze to the few people who had just chatted with Gama.

Pepe walked over and whispered something to him, Ronaldo froze for a moment, "Is this okay?"

"I think I can try it."

Pepe smiled, "Even if you pay more attention to this game, this game is still just a warm-up match. It's good to take this opportunity to try."

Otherwise, you don't know how long you will be entangled in this heart, which makes people look sad.

Gama, who went out to another lounge and found the coach, actually didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to see how powerful Messi was, and wanted to personally experience the football No. 1 How strong can it be?

After listening to Gama's words, Bento looked Gama up and down for a while, and then he laughed.

"Not bad, quite courageous."

Gama, who found that the coach was not angry, chuckled, "Sir, this is a rare opportunity, let me try it! Just give me 10 minutes."

"Yo, that's really loud," Bentoha smiled, "Is 10 minutes enough for Messi?"

"Ten minutes is enough, sir," Gama nodded. "I just want to know how strong he is. I know I may not be as good as him, but such an opponent is strong enough."

"Stinky boy!"

Bento tapped Gama on the shoulder with the tactical board in his hand, "In fact, Messi in the national team is different from Messi in the club. His performance," Bento shook his head, "But since you If you want to try it so seriously, I will give you this chance."

"Thank you, sir."

After saying thanks, Gama happily ran away.

Bento's assistant Victor looked at Gama's back and asked, "Are you really relieved?"

"It's just a warm-up match, let him try."

Bento smiled.

For today's young players, Messi is a goal that needs to be looked up to, but it is not enough to look up to. To be successful, one needs not only to look up to the goal, but also to have the courage and perseverance to catch up. Since Gama wants to try, He can still give this chance.

After all, Gama is still young, and he is about to turn 22 years old. If there is no accident, he will be the core midfielder of the Portuguese national team in the next ten years, so he needs to be given opportunities to try and grow.

Back in the locker room, Gama gave Pepe a successful gesture.

Pepe grinned.

Ronaldo looked over, his serious eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.

Jia Ma walked over and stood in front of him, "Captain, I want to try."

Ronaldo stared at him, then smiled, "Well, Chico, come on!"

"I can."

Gama stretched out his hand, Ronalda froze for a moment, then stretched out his hand, and gave him a high five.

…………

"...Judging from the rosters of both teams, both teams are playing 433 today..."

"In today's football games, the most common formation is 433. Of course, let me say that in games, this formation often changes to 4123 or 4321, etc. This is mainly from the point of view of attack or defense conversion. The traditional 442 is now starting to take on different roles, such as 4222..."

"The absolute core of the two teams, Messi and Ronaldo will start, which reminds me of their national derby in La Liga..."

"Now let's take a look at the starting lineup..."

Argentina: Romero, Zanetti, Burdisso, Gabi Milito, Marcos Rojo, Banega, Mascherano, Cambiasso, Lavezzi, Messi, Di Maria ;

Portugal: Eduardo, Pereira, Rolando, Bruno Alves, Coentrao, Gama, Meireles, Moutinho, Nani, Almeida, C-Ronaldo;

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few players from La Liga Real Madrid among the players on both sides today~~"

"Yeah, it is indeed the world's top giants, and many first-class football stars have gathered in this club..."

"By the way, there are a lot of female fans at the scene today."

"Haha, there are many handsome guys in both teams today."

"Woman, it's really..."

…………

"Sorry, I can't say that anymore, the director is already staring at me."

"Guys, you have to understand that today's world football has attracted a large number of female fans. If you despise them for not understanding football, the director will kick you out."

The funny commentary in the commentary booth made the audience in the stadium burst into laughter.

The enthusiastic female fans even raised their middle fingers to the camera, and the live camera kept scanning the beautiful scenery, which caused a lot of cheerful laughter.

"But I really want to say one more thing, Switzerland in February is really, really, a little cold."

"so……"

"Girls had better put on a coat."

"Haha~~"

There was another burst of laughter in the stadium. Those beautiful girls in short dresses with bare umbilical cords, bare shoulders, backless, raised their faces with delicate make-up on the national flag, held their hands together, and blew kisses.

On the field, cheerful singing and enthusiastic laughter greeted the players from both sides who were about to play.

The game is about to begin.
