[Football] Kaka and Margaret

Back in Guimaraes, the mood of the Italian fans is very complicated.Because the last group match is related to whether they can enter the quarterfinals.Moreover, even if they win this game, the right to qualify is not in their own hands, and it depends on the results of the match between Denmark and Sweden.

The feeling that fate cannot be grasped by oneself is very uncomfortable. The pressure is like a mountain, hanging in everyone's heart, whether it is a player or a fan.

Patriotic flower Margaret, feels like she is going to die, this is her first time to participate in such a competition, she doesn't want to see her motherland get out like this, but, as a fan, she can only compete with most Like people, there is nothing to do but worry.She was so distressed by this that she was not even in the mood to eat recently, and her appetite has lost a lot.

Kaka wondered if Maggie was sick, and she was frowning. Even Maggie's favorite dessert was put in front of her, but she only moved a few bites. She couldn't eat the Portuguese egg tart from her favorite store.If this continues, Kaka feels that he is going to go crazy.

"Kaka, I'm fine. It doesn't matter if I eat or not. Don't starve yourself. I'm just thinking about tomorrow's game." Maggie lay on the hotel table, with a very traditional Italian dish in front of her. The dessert tiramisu, but the taste is much different from that of Italian native tiramisu, but it is still delicious.It's not in vain that Kaka visited the dessert shop.

"You can't do anything if you think about it like this. It's better to be happy. Even if there is no result this time, we still have the World Cup in two years. And, thinking about Sheva, the situation in Ukraine is not so uncomfortable." In order to deceive people, I can only uncover the scars of my brother.There is no way, harming friends and harming friends, it is used at this time.

"If Sheva knew that you were talking about him like that, wouldn't it cause a crisis in the locker room?" Maggie finally laughed when she heard this. Yes, compared to Ukraine, Italy is at least much better.She took another sip of tiramisu, the Portuguese-style tiramisu seems to be good, she is really easy to feed, basically not picky.

"If Italy returns home after this game, we will go to the World Cup two years later, and maybe we will be able to witness Italy's road to victory." After all, Italy was the winner of the 2006 World Cup. As a person who knows the future development, Even if this matter is told now, no one will believe it, but it is enough to deceive people.

_(:з"∠)_ Sure enough, is he going to be assimilated by Italy?It's all Maggie's fault.

"Then I'll have to wait for two years! Humph, even if Italy doesn't qualify, I'll keep chasing. I want to see which team wins the championship!" After eating the last bite of dessert, cocoa was still on the corner of his mouth Fan, Maggie at this moment, seems to have returned to that energetic girl again.

It was the Alfonso Henriquez Stadium again, where Italy drew a goalless draw with Denmark in the first round of the group stage. This time, the opponent was replaced by Bulgaria.Bulgaria are currently fourth in the group, while Italy are third, not much better.

The biggest change in Italy is that Corradi replaced Vieri. This is also Corradi's first appearance in this European Cup. Fiore replaced Gattuso, who had a daughter.Yes, that's right, during this European Cup, Gattuso had a daughter, and because of the suspension of accumulating yellow cards, now he completely puts his mind on his daughter.Materazzi replaced suspended captain Cannavaro.Ask Maggie who these people are, well, she doesn't know any of them.It doesn't match the face at all, and can only be recognized by the number on the back of the jersey.In fact, Kaka doesn't necessarily know each other. He may have heard of it, but it's not necessary.

The weather before the game was not so good. Since noon, dark clouds had shrouded the city, which also reduced the number of people watching the game.Italian fans sit sparsely on the stadium, while Bulgarian fans are small in number but very concentrated.When reading the list of players, the voices of Bulgarian fans can be compared with the voices of Italian fans who are three times their size.

At the same time, at Bessa Stadium, another stadium, the Swedish and Danish fans were all enthusiastic. They almost all entered the stadium singing songs.

After the opening, the situation was stable. Italy was not in a hurry to attack, and even a little bit lax in defense. It seemed very loose, but it didn't give the opponent a chance. Buffon's goal guard was very strict.Since Italy's qualifying is inextricably linked to another game, a screen was specially allocated on the court to broadcast the live broadcast from the Bessa Stadium.

In the 28th minute, Denmark scored.When Thomasson's volley scored the first goal, all the Danish fans jumped up and cheered, they chanted "We are going to the quarter-finals"!Although the Swedish fans were a little frustrated, the expressions on their faces were not worried.Therefore, when the news came from the Bessa Stadium that the Danish team was ahead of the Swedish team, the morale of the Italian fans might have been boosted. One of them yelled "Italy", and the others responded loudly. At this moment, the seats were sparse. The scattered Italian fans are like a 8-degree panoramic surround sound, conveying their joy to the entire stadium.But it soon sparked a counterattack from the Bulgarian fans, who stomped the stands behind Buffon like drums.

The goal from the Enriquez Stadium occurred in the 44th minute of the game. M. Petrov made a pass from the left. Berbatov leaned on Materazzi in the penalty area to receive the ball. Materaz Qi put his arms around Berbatov, both of them had some movements in their hands, and fell to the ground at the same time. Materazzi saw the Russian referee Ivanov give a penalty, and covered his face with his hands in disbelief. This "exaggerated" performance made him get a yellow card. M. Petrov took the penalty and pushed his left foot into the lower left corner. Buffon pounced in the wrong direction.The goal came, but not to Italy, but to their opponents Bulgaria.

Thunderous cheers erupted from the stands behind Buffon as Bulgaria won the penalty.When the penalty was scored, the stands behind Buffon became a sea of ​​red, white and green Bulgarian fans.Ironically, the Italian flag also happens to be composed of these three colors.Italy has no grasp of its own destiny. If this score continues, Denmark and Sweden will qualify together, while Italy will be at the bottom of the group.

Maggie stood in the stands, in front of her was a railing, she was draped in the Italian flag, Kaka sat behind her, the rain fell in front of her eyes, hitting the turf of the stadium.At this moment, it was as if the world stopped sounding.It is obviously the rest time at the end of halftime, except for the most lively moments before and after the game, how can it be so quiet?She didn't know, she could only feel it, as if time had slowed down, she could clearly see the scene of the raindrops falling, from the highest point to the lowest point, her eyes fell with the raindrops.

No, they're not over yet, it shouldn't be like this, the cry in her heart made Maggie break free from her illusion, and she couldn't help shivering.Why is my face wet? Is it rain?It's all to blame for the weather. Why is it raining today?

"Maggie..."

"I'm fine. There's still half time left, but everything is not yet decided." Why did she want to smile and tell Kaka not to worry about her, but she saw herself uglier than crying in Kaka's eyes?At this moment, Maggie really hated herself for being so emotional, why was she crying, but she couldn't help it.Why was she born in Italy?she does not know.

After sorting out the emotions, the second half of the game also started.In just 3 minutes, that is, the 48th minute of the game, Cassano made a direct pass from the left rib, Zambrotta hit the middle with his left foot, and Cassano pushed his right foot 12 meters in front of the goal and hit the lower edge of the crossbar The ball bounced off the goal line and Zdravkov missed the ball. Perrotta volleyed into the lower left corner with the instep of his right foot 5 meters in front of the goal. Italy equalized 1-1.Almost at the same time, the Swedish team took a penalty kick from veteran Larsson to equalize the score, but the Danish fans in the stands did not scold.Mother, I didn't complain, I just wondered why the goalkeeper Sorensen was so careless.

The news of an equalizer from another arena was really not good news. Although Italy scored an equalizer from Perotta in front of the goal, and then Vieri played again with an injury, the Italian fans were obviously a little discouraged.For a period of time after that, they had almost no voice, and their momentum continued to be suppressed by the Bulgarian fans.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone on the court was soaked by the rain, becoming "drowned". Although there was a baffle on the stand, the rain could still float in. Maggie left the railing and sat back on the stand .From the equalizer, everything seemed to be going in a good direction, and she had to have confidence in her country.

In the 66th minute, Denmark exceeded the score again, 2-1.It was Thomason again, the striker who played for Milan brought good news for all Italians.If this score is maintained until the end, then Italy can beat Sweden to qualify as long as they beat Bulgaria 2-1, and Italy only needs one goal.

However, the Swedish fans are not worried about the situation of their team. They are united as one and continue to chant "Sweden, Sweden" and sing "Sweden strikes a goal, we must score one", while the leading Danish fans sing "Sweden, Sweden". We're going to go straight down the river."Subsequently, the fans of both sides beat the drum rhythmically.

However, when the good news reached the Enriquez Stadium, there was no special reaction among the Italian fans, except for Maggie, who was really excited, and she was only one goal away from qualifying.She didn't pay attention to various reports before the game, so she didn't know that there was a "2-2 tacit ball" between Denmark and Sweden in the rumors.

The game is coming to an end. In the 89th minute, another news came: Denmark 2 to 2 Sweden.The most mentioned score before the game finally appeared.The team qualified, and the Swedish fans jumped up happily.A Swedish fan even said "Italy" to reporters and the camera, and then put his hand on the neck.

When the result of being eliminated finally came, the entire Italian stands fell silent.Many spectators began to leave the stadium, and the flying blue flag fell.

At this moment, the Italian game is meaningless, and there are very few fans belonging to the Azzurri. Maggie is holding the national flag, but she feels at a loss. The illusion seems to appear in front of her eyes, and at this moment, it is an empty stadium , In the stands of Nuo Da, she was the only one. There were no players, no referees, and nothing but an empty stadium.Why, does she have such hallucinations?

In the 94th minute, just before the end of the game, Fiore's wonderful pass tore through the Bulgarian team's defense. Odo passed from the right, Pirlo made a beautiful pass in the middle, and Cassano made a right foot 10 meters in front of the goal. Score a curveball.Cassano jumped up, he thought the shot would send Italy into the quarterfinals, but it meant nothing anymore, the victory came so late, yet Panucci's look on the bench told him everything.If, but no if.He spread his arms like a child, and rushed to the bench. Originally, he wanted to accept the hugs and congratulations from his teammates, but he could only squat on the ground, holding his head and crying, and Buffon also hugged his head. .

Cassano fell on his back on the turf with tears in his eyes. Zambrotta pulled him up, "Let's continue playing for the last 2 minutes..." Cassano was still running in the last 2 minutes, But his mind was blank.Yes, Italy is out, and Cassano's perfect performance did not bring Italy into the quarterfinals.He could have been the same Baggio who took Italy out of the group stage in 1994, yet...

When the referee's whistle blew, the fans left on the scene were silent. Diwayo and Buffon hugged each other and comforted each other. Panucci squatted on the ground, unwilling to get up together with Cassano for a long time.On this night full of sadness, the Italian team was covered in bruises. This is their second time out of the European Cup group stage after 1996.Although Italy is out, people will remember Cassano. Although it is only three games, Cassano has already deeply imprinted his talent in the hearts of fans. He is only 2 years old. There are many opportunities, and he still has another European Cup in 22 years. Italy will always wait until the day when he grows into a core.

"He jumped up and celebrated, but when he knew that the Danish team was equalized, the laughter turned into disappointment. He lay on the ground and didn't want to continue. Italy's European Cup journey is over." Gazzetta dello Sport "This is how I described the scene at that time.

The author has something to say:

Continuing with blue sadness...

Oh, it's too miserable, Cassano is really miserable

Regarding the tacit understanding ball between Denmark and Sweden, I checked a lot of information. Basically, Italy suspects that the two of them did it on purpose, but I don’t know why they did it on purpose. It’s been so many years now, even if the truth comes out, it won’t change anything. up.

Originally, I wanted to finish writing the European Cup in this chapter, but if this is the case, one chapter will be less than [-]

Maybe there will be an update on National Day, focus on it, maybe
