In the eyes of everyone, this long-awaited game finally started.

The Portuguese lineup is the same as Scolari announced before the game, with Deco sitting on the bench.The Greek coach Rehhagel deployed a 4-4-2 formation, which was beyond the expectations of most media before the game.The front midfielder Chatas and the top striker Nicoradis with a calf muscle injury did not start. Basinas, who is more defensive, replaced Chatas, and Frizas partnered with Charisteas in the striker.

"I don't know why, but I always have a bad premonition in my heart." The two sides have already lined up and are waiting for the kick-off.Although it is at least a few tens of meters away from the stadium, you can still feel the momentum that is ready to go. However, under these, Maggie always feels that she has seen some results and happy things.She couldn't tell what the specific situation was, but it was a vague feeling that was hard to describe.

Kaka patted her on the shoulder, which meant to tell Maggie not to think too much.As viewers, they just need to do what they should do, and they shouldn't worry too much.Especially this kind of endless thing.

Kaka also knows that Maggie's sixth sense is sometimes very good, after all, she has a perception ability different from that of human beings.But she shouldn't be bothered by this ability in everyday life, especially when traveling and vacationing.And according to previous experience, Maggie's premonition has little to do with herself, unless it can be solved easily, in which case she will pay attention.In the present situation, it would be more appropriate to ignore it.

The whistle went, the ball moved.At the beginning, Figo shoveled Karagounis to the ground.In the 2nd minute, Frizas made a pass from the left, and Charisteas shot with his left foot 9 meters in front of the goal but missed.In the 6th minute, there was an unbelievable scene in the game. Paulo Ferreira took the ball on the right side of the backcourt and wanted to push the ball to Figo in front, but his touch was too light. The midfielder Carla from Inter Milan in the Greek team Guness took two steps to steal the ball and volleyed vigorously with his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal. The ball stuck to the turf and entered the lower left corner of the goal. Greece led 1-0. This was the first goal of this European Cup and also Greece's second goal in 7 games since participating in the European Cup is also the 2th goal in the history of the European Cup finals.Karagounis and his teammates rushed to celebrate in front of the Greek fans' stands, and Scolari looked depressed on the coach's bench.

"Ah..." Maggie exclaimed, this goal came very suddenly, so it is incredible.They were sitting in the area of ​​neutral fans, not far from the stands where the Greek fans were. The crowd appeared after this goal, which was a surprise to them.

Kaka frowned. Looking at the first few minutes of the game, he was really surprised by the state of the Portuguese team.

"This seems to be what I said... a bad thing? Hey, I'm much better now." I didn't expect that Greece would score the goal first. You must know that Greek football is not considered a strong team in European football.

In the 9th minute, the Portuguese defense made another mistake. Greek striker Charisteas seized the opportunity to steal the ball from the right and cut into the penalty area. He volleyed with his right foot 12 meters away and missed the near post.In the 10th minute, Figo broke into the left side of the penalty area, but the opposing captain Zagorakis slid the ball cleanly.In the 11th minute, Frizas made a cross from the right, and Fissas volleyed with his left foot 10 meters from the back post.In the 14th minute, captain Coto pushed back in the penalty area, and Andrade shot with his right foot 22 meters in front of the goal and slightly missed the left post. The two central defenders completed Portugal's first threatening attack.

"Although I don't understand it, I feel that the host is not playing well." Maggie turned her head and started complaining to Kaka. This is one of her hobbies in watching football. After all, she can't tell what fake fans are. doorway.

"It's still early, so it's hard to say. But you're right, Portugal is really not very good now." Fortunately, they said this in Italian, and their position was still some distance from the stands of Portuguese fans, otherwise they would talk like this Looking at the home team, they may be besieged by Portuguese fans before they finish talking.

In the 17th minute, Figo was tackled by Dellas in the frontcourt.In the 19th minute, Simao stabbed the ball in the midfielder's counterattack and sent it to the space between the two central defenders, but Pauletta did not stop the ball and missed this possible single-handed opportunity.In the 20th minute, Costinha uprooted Karagunis, and the referee Colina showed the first yellow card of this European Cup. One minute later, Greece took a corner kick from the left, and Charisteas shook his head 1 meters in front of the goal and hit the goal slightly higher.In the 9nd minute, Charisteas broke through the middle and shot with his left foot and was confiscated by Ricardo.

The players on the Portuguese field are relatively nervous, and it is difficult to see delicate small cooperation and personal breakthroughs.In the 24th minute, Figo knocked back from the right, causing the "sinner" Ferreira, who conceded the ball first, to take the ball. Costa's header near the penalty point missed the far post.In the 28th minute, Costa moved in a wide range, Figo cleverly unloaded the ball, and "cycled" to get rid of the defender's cross, but the goalkeeper Nicopolidis picked the ball over the head of the opponent's striker.In the 30th minute, Maniche made a long pass from the midfielder and Simao grabbed the ball in front of Dellas, but Nicopolidis confiscated the ball in time.

Simão and Figo swap positions from time to time.Although the Portuguese team got a few set kicks, the opponent's defender was tall and big, so it was difficult to pose a threat.In the 37th minute, Charisteas intercepted the ball from the right and crossed the center line, and was about to break through the opponent's defense line. Andrade tripped him, but escaped a yellow card.After that, Karagunis fouled Ferreira. He was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and was warned by a yellow card.Karagunis is the most active player of the Greek team on the field, and his enthusiasm seems to have been hit by more than half after receiving a yellow card.In the 41st minute, Maniche volleyed higher with his right foot from the outside.In the 44th minute, Figo took a free kick 28 meters from the right side of the goal and hit the near corner directly, with Nicopolidis in his arms.Immediately the midfield whistle to.

"I feel like I've seen it inexplicably, but the Greek goalkeeper is really amazing." During the rest period, people left their seats one after another, and there was a lot of walking and talking, because Maggie was leaning on Kaka's shoulder To put it bluntly, she watched half-heartedly in the first half, and Kaka was much more serious than her, which caused her to start marking people and not watching the game... Seems like a waste of 120 euros worth of ticket money.

As for Kaka, well, he is actually looking forward to the appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo.However, the first half of the game obviously did not let him get what he wanted. "The Greek team has not conceded a goal in 6 consecutive official games, and their goalkeeper has contributed a lot."

"Then how do you think the direction of the second half will change?"

After the intermission, Scolari made decisive substitutions. Porto's darling Deco replaced the sluggish Costa, and the stadium cheered; C. Ronaldo replaced Simão.Kaka looked at his former friend, who looked so immature now, and was a little happy, but just as he was about to smile, he found Maggie staring at him, as if looking at a "fool", forget it, don't laugh come out.Greece coach Rehhagel replaced Karagunis, who had already had a yellow card, with Katuranis.In the 50th minute, Greek right back Sitaridis instigated an attack and passed the ball to Charisteas.

Ronaldo who was returning behind him, penalty kick!Basinas acted calmly, pushed his right foot into the upper right corner, and Greece took a 2-0 lead.

Top scorer Nikoladis replaced midfielder Yanakopolos.In the 72nd minute, Figo waded through the defender and shot high with his right foot 22 meters in front of the goal.

Midfielder Rakis replaces Charisteas.In the 75th minute, the Portuguese quickly took a free kick. C.

In the 82nd minute, Deco made a diagonal pass to the back post with his right rib and left foot. Ronaldo stopped the ball 10 meters in front of the goal and turned around to volley with his right foot. It was Portugal's most threatening shot, but it didn't bring Portugal a goal.The score of 0:2 on the screen hurt the hearts of many Portuguese.In the 85th minute, Gomez made a low shot with his left foot 20 meters in front of the goal. Nicopolidis fell to the ground and dropped the ball. The ball slowly rolled out of the baseline.In the first minute of stoppage time, Deco cut in from the right and left-footed long-range shot was confiscated by Nicopolidis.

The game is not over yet, and some Portuguese fans have already started to leave the stadium. The stadium, which has hardly seen any vacancies since noon, is now much empty.In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Figo's left rib passed the defender and broke into the penalty area. His left foot shot hit De Las' abdomen and popped out of the baseline. Figo took a corner kick from the left. Ronaldo tried his best to head the ball 7 meters in front of the goal. Headed into the far corner, ending the history of the Greek team without conceding a goal in 6 consecutive official games. This is also his first goal in the national team, but the goal came too late, and the referee Collina immediately blew the finale post.Greece rewrote the record of never winning a major finals.This is the first time that the hosts have lost in the opening match since the group stage was introduced in 1980.

The game is over.But they didn't leave the field. Kaka watched her former friend sitting on the turf and weeping. Maggie followed Kaka's gaze and saw the curly-haired young man on the field?Or juvenile?He is still very young, and it is not known if this competition is his first experience in a big competition. As the host, the final result is like this. Put yourself in the situation and think about it. If Maggie were this young boy, she would probably cry too.

Before finally leaving the stands, Maggie turned her head and looked at the stadium again. She saw a beautiful girl walking towards the crying boy, and then hugged him.
