[Football] Kaka and Margaret

The tragedy of England made the two non-England fans feel like watching a movie, and there was not much turmoil in their hearts.But they are still better than Italy. Maggie gets angry when she thinks of this, and she pulls Italy out and whips her dead every day.

Italy, whose corpse was flogged, said: Okay, we are not innocent.

After breakfast, a new itinerary for the day will start.Although I planned to go to the beach and experience the feeling of sunbathing on the beach, I checked my luggage and found that there was no swimsuit, and because of the European Cup, there were more tourists coming to Lisbon. What if it was crowded? Isn't it completely meaningless?After thinking about it, I can only give up.

And I walked around Lisbon before the game, and I seemed to be even less interested.Difficult to decide, extremely entangled.I can see that Kaka doesn't know how to intervene... because once Maggie falls into this kind of thinking or tangled situation, she will be very irritable. Don't ask him how he knows, it's a lesson learned from blood...you can't say that After all, Maggie is still a very good girl, and she doesn't eat people.It's just that as a woman, there are always some thoughts that men can't understand.So don't touch the mold at this time.

Fortunately, after struggling for a while, Maggie looked away. She decided to go out and wander around, wherever she went.Anyway, there are so many trams in Lisbon, just sit on one and let it take them to unknown places.

After all, life is full of surprises.Especially unknown surprises.But there is still a little regret, as if there are fewer people around.It would be great if Maphilia was here, since they are also girls, so there will be more topics.

Stepping on a tram that doesn't know where to go, Lisbon's tram is almost becoming a landscape. This is an ancient city with a lot of history. Through the window, looking at the exterior walls of the buildings outside, the sense of history of bricks and tiles is overwhelming. Coming, as if passing through history.

Finally they stopped not far from the big Jesus statue.

The big Jesus statue is said to be 110 meters high and is located at one end of the April 25th Bridge.Looking from the distance of the square like the statue of Jesus, it is the whole picture of the "April [-]" bridge.This is the best viewing spot for the bridge.

"Rio also has such a statue of Jesus." Kaka told Maggie that she had never been to Rio.So whether Lisbon copied Rio, or Rio copied the sovereign state, is a confusing question.

Below the statue is a church with pictures telling the history of its construction and some stories about devout women thanking God.Maggie was also very surprised by the sudden close contact with the Heavenly Father.So it was probably God's guidance that brought them here today.Why do I say that, because while visiting the church, Maggie seemed to see the statue of Jesus winking inside.

"This Heavenly Father is looking at me. Hey, Kaka, do you feel being watched?" Maggie asked after leaving the church.After all, there are still some tourists in the church, and she can't let others know about her.

Thinking back to just now, Kaka shook her head: "Maybe Heavenly Father just wants to find you?" After all, Maggie saw Jesus not once or twice.

"...So he wants to see if I'm doing well?" This must have taken too much trouble.

"So you are Heavenly Father's favorite child."

Maggie: ...No, I don't want to.

Entering the observation deck of the square, you can enjoy the view of Lisbon city and the magnificent river view.On April 25, the bridge spanned the Tejo River, connecting Lisbon with Almadé on the opposite bank.As for this church, they can also provide various services for the congregation, from confessions to baptisms, and even weddings, arrange a special wedding during the trip.

However, Maggie and Kaka were not so lucky to see other people's weddings. Coincidental things are rare after all, but they are not regrettable, because they will probably think of that silent question again when they see other people's weddings. So, that's fine for now.

The semi-final between Portugal and the Netherlands was arranged at the Alvalade Stadium.This is the home stadium of Sporting Lisbon and the largest stadium in Portugal.This is a very distinctive stadium. The colorful seats give people the feeling that the stadium is full of spectators. The original intention of its design is to make the stands seem full of seats when they are not full, which is conducive to TV broadcasting. visual effects.

But this Portuguese-Dutch battle does not need this visual effect, because there are already all seats.

In the last European Cup, Portugal and the Netherlands were eliminated in the semi-finals.The Netherlands had reached the semi-finals four times before, but only advanced and won the championship in 4.Portugal's previous two semi-finals ended in failure.Since she had only watched one game about the Netherlands before, Maggie couldn't predict the result of this game, so she chose to ask others.

"Who do you think will win?" Ask who, of course, ask the people around you.

Kaka knows the final champion of this European Cup. After all, the miracle of "Greek mythology" will last for a long time in later generations, and the opponent of Greece in the final is..."Portugal."

"Understood!" So she could watch the game from Portugal's standpoint again.It feels like you have formed a team yourself?

Stam made a clearance from the baseline. C Luo beat the ground with his hands.In the 11th minute, Deco broke through with the ball and fell to the ground in contact with Stam. The Swedish referee Frisk refused to interrupt the game. The Portuguese fans booed and Maggie was taken aback. She only knew that sometimes players Will refuse to stop the game, so even the referee will refuse?I also don't understand.

Portugal's desire to attack is stronger than their opponents, and they have the advantage in the midfield.In the 12th minute, Cocu made a low shot with his left foot 28 meters in front of the goal and missed the right post.In the 18th minute, Figo knocked the ball back against Cocu and Stam's zone defense on the left.

Ronaldo took off his jersey to celebrate. Frisk followed the spirit of FIFA not long ago and unceremoniously took out a yellow card, but if he can score a goal, a yellow card is insignificant.It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo's two goals in this cup are headers.

In the 28th minute, Davis made a cross from the left, and Andrade made a header to clear the siege. Overmars volleyed with the instep of his right foot 8 meters away from the goal and slightly higher than the crossbar.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0, and Portugal entered the half-time break with a leading advantage.

"I always feel that this referee is not very professional, but I know that I should not question him, but he makes me feel that it is hard to say." How can a referee who can participate in this kind of competition be unprofessional, but some of his behavior makes Man feels uncomfortable, and he seems to have a problem with Portugal.

"This kind of situation is very common. Sometimes, the referee can even interfere with the final result of the game. Moreover, in the arena, the referee is the biggest, and all decisions depend on the judgment of the main referee." Therefore, it is actually difficult for the referee to do , and it is difficult to achieve true fairness and justice.

After the intermission, Advocaat replaced Overmars with Ma Kai.In the 48th minute, Figo broke through from the left and was shoveled out of the sideline by Van Bronckhorst.In the 51st minute, Seedorf turned around on the edge of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot and missed the right part.In the 51st minute, the referee Frisk called Ronaldo a foul, but this penalty hindered the Dutch team's attack, and Advocaat expressed his dissatisfaction on the sidelines.The confusing behavior made Maggie wonder what the referee wanted to do.In the 53rd minute, Ma Kai made a diagonal pass to Ruud van Nistelrooy on the right side of the penalty area, Ronaldo returned to defend the ball, Portugal launched a counterattack, and Figo shot from the right side and hit the billboard.

The previous three teams (Spain in 4, Italy in 3) , France in 1964) eventually won the championship.

Four days later, Portugal will play the winner between the Czech Republic and Greece for the title.

The author has something to say:

Actually, I wanted to write about Cape Roca.

In Caboda Roca, people built a lighthouse and a cross facing the ocean on the cliffs of Caboda Roca.There is a famous sentence written in Portuguese on the stele: "Ondeaterraacabaeomarcome?a" (Ondeaterraacabaeomarcome?a).

It looks great, but it's 40 kilometers from Lisbon...

It's okay, it doesn't deserve it.
