The dragon stadium was full of singing, the camera scanned down, it was red and green, all of them were the Portuguese people cheering, Cristiano quietly looked at the situation, and when he ran back, he was super nervous and grabbed Juan.

"How?" Juan was tidying himself up at this time, and the Portuguese players had just returned to the tunnel after the warm-up to get ready to play, and there was still no movement from the Greek side, but it was clear that his young teammates were not going to talk to him about that.

"There are a lot of people out there!" Hearing that his little teammate was so excited, Juan was helpless.

"That's just over 50,000 people, and you've never been nervous playing in front of over 70,000 people at Old Trafford."

"But that's more than 70,000 irrelevant people!" Cristiano was obviously not comforted by the huge disparity in numbers, but looked worried: "That's different! Those are irrelevant people, and now it's all Portuguese out there! "Playing for money and playing for honour feel like two different things.

Figo understood him very well, and patted his head with a smile when he walked over: "Don't think too much, just play seriously and enjoy the game, this is the first game, and then there will be a bad battle to fight." ”

The distribution of the group stage of the European Championship is still more skewed towards the host country, but despite perfectly avoiding the strong teams of France, Croatia, Italy and Germany, Portugal still inevitably met Spain and Russia.

Spain is by far the biggest headache for Portugal, from strikers to goalkeepers, especially with many acquaintances of Juan, which is even more impressive.

And Russia, the people who came out of that cold place are super strong in every body, and they are also a team that cannot be taken lightly.

Greece, by contrast, is less interesting – no superstars, no big clubs, no buzz – and the only thing that might draw a little attention is that their head coach is German coach Rehhagel.

Rehhagel is good at creating miracles, and in '97 he led Kaiserslautern back to the first division as the Bundesliga champions, and his first game was against Bayern Munich, facing the Bundesliga giants, and the team gave a shocking answer - 1:0, Bayern Munich was overturned! In the same year, he led Kaiserslautern to the Bundesliga title one round earlier.

The head of the miracle coach came out of the mountain after a year, but with the inconspicuous Greek team, although everyone thought he was dizzy, as if they had forgotten the cynicism they had made about the small club of Kaiserslautern.

Juan looked at Greece from afar, who was still preparing for a serious warm-up training, and couldn't help frowning.

This is not a team to be taken lightly.

In the preliminary round of the European Championship, Greece lost their first two games, which made Greece's hopes of qualifying for the group stage slimmed, but they won six consecutive games in the next game and stubbornly made it to the main division, which is no longer something that luck can explain, it is more likely that the seemingly low-key Greece may become the biggest dark horse.

He looked back at his players, because he was playing in his own country, and even a few of them were Porto players, they were all more relaxed when they were in the familiar home stadium, and the only ones who were nervous were Cristiano and Carvalho, after all, they seemed to be at the level of small fresh meat in this batch of national teams, and Juan even had a lively World Cup, so this kind of scene was naturally not afraid.

As the start of the game got closer and closer, the Greek players returned to the tunnel one by one to line up, and Cristiano couldn't help but stick his head out to look at them, and then whispered to Juan: "I speak to them in English or Portuguese, can they understand?" ”

Juan pondered for a moment: "German should work." ”

Cristiano was tempted to try: "Would you like to teach me two German sentences?" ”

"......" Juan paused, then sighed. 'I love you' and 'Where's the bathroom', which one would you like to learn? That's all he touches on.

"......" Cristiano opened his mouth, speechless.

"Welcome to the Dragon Stadium!" The on-site commentary has begun to warm up the atmosphere, Juan immediately patted his little teammate and asked him to stand up, the camera lens will sweep over later, and he is not responsible at all for being photographed stupid.

"This is the first time in Portugal's history that Portugal have hosted the European Championship and the first time Portugal have the advantage of playing at home on all fronts, will they win the Delaunay Cup, the country's highest honour? Who will be the one who will win at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon? Let's enjoy the 23-day carnival feast! ”

The on-site commentary was obviously very excited, and his lips were very smooth when he reported the names of the players of the two teams, especially the Portuguese team, he reported a name, and the whole audience had to cheer, even if everyone was not very familiar with Juan, everyone applauded and welcomed with face.

As a Portuguese-Spanish mixed-race, Juan grew up in Madrid since he was a child, and his sense of him in Portugal is not as deep as that of others, after all, he is not a child who grew up watching him?

However, he was opposed by many people when he chose Portugal instead of joining the Spanish national team, and of course it is all over now.

However, when the camera was given to him, there were still many female fans who were amazed.

The No. 23 youth in the shot, his hair color is as dark gold as quicksand under the moonlight, his blue eyes are like the clearest deep pool, the visibility is extremely high but he can't see it at a glance, his facial features are smooth and smooth, and the young man looks more eye-catching than when he first participated in the World Cup three years ago.

He doesn't look like those enthusiastic and unrestrained players on the Iberian Peninsula, just standing there, looking down at people slightly, there are countless female fans who want to turn into wolves and pounce on him to hug this empty and lonely teenager who looks empty and lonely - directly ignoring the height of people in their early eights.

This year's Portugal jersey still chooses the most classic red, with a circle of emerald green on the neckline and cuffs, and the whole match is as warm as the roaring mountains and forests, and the man is the quiet water, the blend of water and fire forms a unique temperament, which makes people's eyes can't help but stay.

There is indeed a kind of person who looks better the more he looks.

After reporting the list of Portugal, the on-site commentator subconsciously glanced at the list of the Greek team, and this glance made him unable to help but be silent for several seconds.

"Greece...... goalkeeper Nicopolidis; defenders Sitaritis, Dabisas, Delas, Basinas; midfielders Zagorakis, Jana Kopolos, Tchatas; Forwards Charlie Steas, Nicoladis ...... God, is their list of players tongue twisters? ”

The names of the Greek players were a nightmare for the Portuguese pronunciation habits, but the on-site commentators stubbornly read the names.

Generally speaking, the commentator should have quickly introduced the rosters of both sides, and began to analyze the formation of the two sides when the captains of the two teams shook hands, but today, Figo and the opposing captain Venettidis exchanged flags, the referee tossed a coin and decided to kick off first, and the two teams shook hands to take a pre-match photo of the team, and he finally read the list of Greek players.

All the Portuguese on the scene and in front of the TV could understand the pain of the commentary, because even the Sky Sports commentator complained: "God, do the Greeks usually choose names to be longer than whose names?" ”

Complaining is complaining, the game still has to continue, Greece guessed the pros and cons of the coin, they kicked off first, for which Cristiano also whispered to Juan when he was running: "I know that the captain's luck is not good, he never loses when he plays cards!" ”

"......" Juan didn't dare to speak, because the captain of their nickname "The Devil" hadn't run far yet, apparently he had heard what Cristiano had said, but because of the game, Figo didn't do anything fratricidal, but not necessarily after the game......

"The game starts, the center circle kicks off, Greece has the ball!"

With a whistle, Zagorakis took a deep breath and gently passed the ball to Yannakopolos next to him, the Greek team has its own set of play, their head coach taught them what it means to attack and defend all, and naturally also taught them to be preemptive in the opening game.

Janakopolos is the brain of the Greek team, and many attacks have been launched from his direction, and after receiving the ball, he did not rush to pass the ball, but tightly guarded the ball at his feet when Valente and Carvalho were about to step forward to press.

His dribbling skills are not very good, but the ball is very close to his feet, and it can be said that during the game, the ball under his feet has not been broken very much - if you want to break his ball, you may touch his foot at any time, and sometimes even kick him before the ball is broken, then no matter what the opponent says, a yellow card is indispensable.

However, no matter how good the dribble is, Jana Croporos can't keep the ball sticking to his feet, especially when the opponent seems to be about to press again, and the scene is terrible, so after spotting a gap, he lifts his foot and crosses the bottom.

Brazil Nas catches the ball!

Greece's attacking speed is not fast, but it is easy to catch people off guard with a wide span, and they also know how to take advantage and avoid disadvantage, Rehhagel may have investigated everyone in the Portuguese team before the game, whether it was passing the ball or advancing the line, carefully avoiding Juan's direction.

Especially when Basinas received the ball, two defenders directly stepped forward to block Juan's footsteps, you know, even against Figo they didn't have such a big battle.

Juan was stopped, but it was not said that there was no solution on the field, seeing that the situation in Portugal was critical, he began to take the two defenders around in circles without a trace, and whenever there was an intention to get slightly closer to the direction of the ball, the two people were especially nervous, so Juan sighed.

Yes, even he has weaknesses, or rather, it's every player's weakness.

When they don't have the ball in their hands, no matter how much ability they have, they can't show it. But at least now he can tear up the opposing defence?

Juan was here with two men in circles around the half, but there was chaos in front of the Portuguese goal. Basinas protected the ball to the edge of the box, he held the ball for too long, and just when everyone thought he was going to continue this long and continue to be so difficult, Basinas stopped with a long pass.

Target - Charlie Steias, 45 yards in front of goal!

The whole of Portugal was shocked, especially Carvalho and Valente, who prevented Basinas from the middle circle all the way to the vicinity of the penalty area, and they were about to force him out of the bottom line, why did they suddenly change the ball?!

And the position of the pass is too high and too dangerous, the Portuguese fans let out an exclamation, because of the height of the ball, no one can save Portugal at present! Charlie Steas received the ball and shot hard with his feet up in front of everyone's eyes.

That's when Ricardo struck!

He blocked the way of the goal's attack, and slapped the ball out without giving the opponent any chance, the ball bounced high, and everyone squinted.

It's not out of the sideline, it's still on the court!

Miguel was nearby, and when the ball flew in his direction, the Portuguese defender did not hesitate to rush to the top and send the ball back into the field, the ball narrowly and dangerously grazed several nearby Greek players, and was finally won by Andrade, and his first reaction after getting the ball was to run for his life.

It's not that Portugal's defenders learned how to carry knives in an instant, but as a defensive player, he knows very well what it's like to be in a tight circle, although the opponent seems to be surrounded by only two strikers and a midfielder, according to Greece's all-out attacking and defensive state, if he delays a little for a second or two, then Portugal will face Greece's iron wall.

It was out of this concern that he ran directly through the entire Portuguese half with the ball, and when he reached the center circle, he had time to catch his breath, and then looked up to notice Juan not far away.

Seeing his teammates at a glance, Andrade finally breathed a sigh of relief, and before the people behind him did not chase and intercept him, a beautiful through ball was distributed to Juan.

The person who subconsciously received the ball suddenly wanted to smile bitterly, he had already slipped around with two defenders for a while, Andrade was always behind so he didn't see it? His current situation can be described as the most dire.

And if there are only two defenders, it doesn't matter, these two players with scary names and scary looks seem to have a high opinion of him, and as soon as they see him holding the ball, they are immediately ready to come up and rush up viciously, and they are very good at breaking their legs and not letting him pass the ball.

Under such an urgent marking, Juan still calmly protected the ball. In this world, Basinas is not the only one who can protect the ball, at least for a short time, there are no problems, Juan even has the leisure to find the direction of his teammates and see how to send the ball out later.

As a result, he looked around, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

The whole Greek team was like a python tightly wrapped around everyone in the Portuguese team, pressing them tightly as if they were desperate to make it difficult for them to move an inch, and the whole team was only Cristiano with a more relaxed direction - of course a little further away, but who let both teams only have 11 players when the game came?

He has two defenses here, unless someone dares to guarantee that he can defend against two, otherwise Cristiano must be the breakthrough point!

However, Juan frowned when he was leading indistinctly in the direction of Portugal's No. 17 when he was greeted with another Greek jersey.

Going to be encircled?

So whose place is it easy to get down there?

The oncoming man was Dabisas, who seemed to have received some instructions from Rehhagel, and rushed over with a solemn face, Juan did not recognize the Greek's appearance very well, but he still found something different from the others in the face that greeted him.

- Evil spirit.

It seems that he rushed forward with the mood that he must do something, and this thing must be very bad for Juan.

Whether it was trying to make a foul or something, Juan just raised an eyebrow slightly.

He didn't know why he was so highly regarded by Rehhagel that his guards would even go out of their way to stop him with fouls, but he knew that if he didn't avoid the man in front of him now, his career would probably end early.

Da Bisas is only two steps away from him!

The Greek didn't seem to be at all afraid to meet him, he stared at Juan's eyes like a python staring at its prey, ready to make a move, Juan raised his eyebrows and was just about to move, when he felt a gust of wind sweep under his feet.

He subconsciously pressed the ball with the inside of his foot, and the ball bounced off the ground deftly, that is, to the height of his calf, and Juan's foot was raised with it, and he jumped.

When the exclamations from the scene came, Juan had already knocked the ball with his instep, crossed Dabisas, and once again took possession of the ball at his feet and moved forward.

"Foul !! They want to hurt people on purpose!! The on-site commentator immediately jumped up and shouted, "If Juan hadn't raised his foot to avoid it just now, Dabisas would have kicked on Juan's shin guard!" And he didn't close the spikes at all, he was a vicious foul! ”

"Wonderful!" Sky Sports' commentator shouted, "In the face of the oncoming rush, Juan did not panic, but predicted the opponent's movements in advance, and used a ball-taking action to raise the ball, and at the same time kept up with the footsteps, directly avoiding the stampede accidents that may occur in the chaos of the three players, and the neat handling method!" The blonde little prince takes off on the court! ”

After a pause, he added: "That being said, we still have to wonder if the Greek players' motives were intentional. Maybe we'll see the replay later. ”

When Juan crossed Dabisas, the predicament did not end there, the Greek No. 4 almost immediately turned around and wanted to pull the corner of his clothes, very much would rather make a foul behind him than let him get close to the goal, Juan did not have eyes behind him, but he seemed to know what the person behind him wanted to do, an acceleration and a sharp stop and turn, the drift of nearly 90 degrees suddenly made the Greek lose his sense of direction, and his fingers could only slide through the corners of his clothes, close but far away.

At the same time, Dabisas seemed to hear a crunch of his ankle and protested, after all, forcibly changing direction in high-speed sports is also a big taboo for players, and he is doing his best to chase Juan.

However, when he had a sharp pain in his ankle, he could only stagger to a halt and let his two teammates, Venettidis and Dabisas, overtake him and continue to chase Juan away.

The two of them had been following Juan for half a while, and although there was no communication between the three of them, the more they followed them, the more frightened they became.

If every time they approach someone who controls the ball, intentionally or unintentionally, is just testing the two of them, how can we explain every subsequent move that almost shakes them off and makes them grit their teeth and continue to keep up with them when they feel a glimmer of hope?

If it's just a simple body, forget it, but now looking at his speed, where is the body or not enough speed? It's clearly sharing the offensive pressure for the whole team!

Greece had five defenders today, with a scavenger lineup and a disciplined attack, and Juan almost single-handedly broke Greece's mind.

There are not so many assumptions on the court, and if the other party sees their intentions, then destruction is not far away.

That's the case with Greece right now, when Juan pretty much broke up their back five, he finally got on the ball and started to show his fangs.

In the moment of dribbling, Juan had already discovered where the gap was in the whole court. I don't know if the Greek team is really bold or what, they let three people defend one of him, but it made two people open next to them, and what is more deadly is that those two people are a right winger Cristiano and a left winger Figo.

It may be that these two people generally stay in the Greek half, and if the ball does not pass, there will be no danger, so the Greek team's defense of these two people is loose and tight, when the two defenders follow Juan all over the field, Dabisas stays and is ready to respond, Zagorakis has been staying in the backfield and ready to intercept at any time, Figo has Yannakopolos opposite, and only Cristiano is left very embarrassed.

And the Portuguese No. 17, who was underestimated, was actually quite angry in his heart, after all, he is also Manchester United's well-known No. 7, is the prince number good? You people will be punished for underestimating him!

And when he saw the dark blonde man all the way to the Greek penalty area with the grace and brilliance of ball lightning, and the oncoming man seemed to be glowing all over his body, Cristiano was so excited that his whole body was feverish.

That's football, that's elegance!

That's it, power!

Juan had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Cristiano was in a much better position at the moment, but it was likely to be made offside, Juan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to give the ball to the captain Figo, who was desperate for the ball on the side.

When he kicked the ball over, Juan only felt a cool breeze behind him, and he subconsciously turned around quickly - this can be regarded as one of his stunts, since he was a child in Castillaguti, he likes to greet people from behind like this, in order to avoid bruising his back, he and Raul have mastered this skill, and only the relatively sluggish Cassie has been hit and screamed.

Juan's stunt proved to be very useful, the wind slid past his cheeks, causing his hair to lift lightly, Juan squinted his eyes and took two steps back, watched the other man stagger twice, and glared at him fiercely several times after noticing his gaze.

Sitaridis, Greece's No. 2 player, was one of the defenders who had been following him just now.

Seeing him look over, the Greek suddenly straightened up and muttered a lot, Juan raised his eyebrows and looked at him and ignored it, and the other party immediately took two steps forward and wanted to push him.

At the same time, Figo immediately cut diagonally into the sideline and headed in the direction of the small penalty area after receiving the ball, although there was still a man next to him who was defending closely, but he was confident that as long as he could give him an angle, he could send the ball into the Greek goal!

However, it backfired, at the moment of his kick, the Greek players next to him collided with him, and Figo's center of gravity appeared unstable for a moment, but at this moment, his ball was already out of the foot.

Figo secretly said that he was not good and was ready to chase the ball, but the football was already headed for the door of Greece!

The Greek goalkeeper Nikopolidis was already holding his breath and ready to send the ball off the sideline, but at this moment, a fiery red figure flashed.

Nico Polydison sounded his siren and he didn't care about flying out of the line to knock the ball off the sideline, now it's up to him to be one step faster or the guy faster!

It's clear that Portugal has no shortage of brat who can run faster than the wind. Nicopolidis only felt a flash in front of him, a pair of Nike sneakers flashed in front of him, and then the "nautical chart" of the European Cup match ball disappeared from his sight.

He threw himself on the ground hopelessly, turned around, and the red and green flags waved in the sky, everyone stood up and cheered and roared almost wildly, and the Portuguese national anthem resounded throughout the audience.

“Gooooal！！ Cristiano Ronaldo! Supplementary shot to Figo!! "Sky Sports' commentary hall is about to be overturned, not to mention the Dragons Stadium," said Portugal's first goal at the European Championship on home soil, from Portugal's number 17! ”

The big No. 17 appeared in the camera, and the Portuguese teenager ran to his heart's content, showing his happiest smile on the court. He ran along the sideline to find Juan, but it was then that the referee blew his whistle and felt his pocket and held up his card.

Yellow!

What, what's going on? The referee also awarded Portugal's goal just now, who is this yellow card for?

For a moment, everyone was at a loss, but it didn't include the three parties. When the referee rushed through the half court and walked forward with a yellow card held high, Juan just calmly looked sideways at him, while the other two, one Sitaridis were kneeling on the ground, with his head down and not knowing what he was thinking, and the other Dabisas was raising his hand to ask for a timeout and call the team doctor.

Hearts are entangled throughout Portugal.

Although their attention was focused on the brilliant goal just now, what is the situation now?

Juan is going to be yellow carded?

Seeing that the referee's direction was Juan, the entire Portuguese team didn't care about celebrating, and directly led people to that direction to find out what was going on, and they naturally couldn't let Juan receive a yellow card like this!

However, when the Greek and Portuguese players gathered together, a jaw-dropping scene happened.

The referee is not a professional player, so he ran slowly, and when he stood between the two people, he couldn't help but take a breath, the Portuguese players looked at each other, and Figo stepped forward: "Sir, what happened just now, what happened to Juan?" ”

"Maybe you can watch the replay." The referee finally relented, and then he extended the yellow card straight to Sitaridis.

Suddenly, all the gossips who were defending Juan were silenced.

…… To be honest, even they, when they saw the situation just now, thought that Juan was going to take a card, who knew that the peak turned around, and the person who looked weaker was awarded a card by the referee?

Because of the special situation on the field, the video will be played back from now on.

First of all, a qiē starts with Juan taking the ball.

After getting the ball, he headed for the Greek half, facing Da Bisas, about to form a circle of momentum, even if you watch it again, you will feel thrilling scenes, Juan at that time did not seem to care at all, he seemed to foresee what was going to happen in the future, his feet buckled and knocked, the whole person jumped lightly, and his hair was as bright as a little prince.

In the replay, even if many people's attention is attracted by Juan's appearance, there are always some people who can see the facts more clearly, and they see it with their own eyes.

The feet of the three men were almost all stretched out at this moment, and they stomped down hard, not to the kind that recovered the spikes.

If you step on the porcelain this time, it will be a very fatal blow in either direction!

Juan solved this qiē in four or two.

After that, Darbias's stretching jersey and Juan's high-speed change of direction were all in the eyes, until Darbias fell to the ground in pain and Sitaridis began to push him, and everyone let out an exclamation.

In fact, many people saw this scene at the time, but all of their attention was focused on the goal, and Cristiano's goal made them so happy that they didn't pay attention to what was happening here.

The replays and slow replays continued, Figo's several movements were steady, and the last shot of Cristiano was amazingly fast, and everyone watched in amazement.

So the boos from the audience for Greece were even stronger.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with them, according to a common saying, the only way to leave a person who wants to leave is to break his legs.

And then it may be Dabisas's injury, Greece No. 4 did not give up after changing direction to intercept and ran two steps before gritting his teeth and stopping, Sitaridis had already run away for several steps, and when he looked back and saw him in a cold sweat, he couldn't help but want to hold him, but at this time Juan happened to pass in front of him, and the angry Sitaridis wanted to push him, and shouted at him: "Can't you call a pause?" ”

He spoke in German, and Juan was at a loss, as there was no German option among his proficient languages. However, he knew that it was true that Sitaridis wanted to push him, so he subconsciously avoided it, and the two of them suddenly fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity, so the scene just now was formed.

The linesman noticed the situation here and hurriedly signaled to the fourth official and the referee, and it happened that Portugal scored at this time, and after hurriedly signaling that the goal was valid, the referee blew the whistle and rushed to Juan with a yellow card.

Pushing people at the home stadium in Portugal, not to mention the home whistle, just ignoring that can make everyone start booing them.

And Juan was really at a loss the whole time, he really didn't understand what the opposing player said, and thought he was going to provoke the fight, until the Greek team doctor stepped forward to help Dabisas down, he seemed to realize something, grabbed the staff passing by and asked, "May I ask ......" He repeated the words of Sitaridis with his memory, "What does this mean?" ”

The staff member on the other side looked like a German, but he also seemed to know English, and he looked at him and said, "'Call me a team doctor'...... That's pretty much what it means. ”

For a while, Juan touched his nose and was a little embarrassed, he could only watch Dabisas go down, and when he returned to Portugal, his face was still worried.

"What's wrong, Juan?" Cristiano was very concerned, although he was already sweating all over his body because of the rapid rush just now, but his eyes were still shining brightly.

"It's okay......" Juan sighed after a moment of silence, "I think it's time to learn German." "Otherwise, wouldn't it be good to cause such embarrassment today?

"Are you still learning?" Cristiano was dumbfounded, "Spanish, Portuguese, English...... Do you want to get another German language now? ”

"It's necessary, what if I go to the Bundesliga in the future? No one knows. Juan was serious, and Andrade was on the verge of crying.

Little brother, what about Deportivo La Coruna? Super Laco is crying......

Dabisas was treated for treatment, Greece temporarily played eleven, and there was one less defender in the case of dealing with Portugal, and Greece's goal began to become precarious, especially Juan, who wanted to pull Sitaridis over to apologize every time he participated in the attack, but thinking that he couldn't speak German even more, which made him even more entangled.

The game was played in Portugal 1-0 Greece, and the only goal of the game came from Cristiano, and the Portuguese number 17 was praised by the press and media after the game, but Scolaris still brought Figo with him.

So Figo finally experienced the embarrassment of being asked all kinds of questions.

Now sitting in front of him are all sorts of journalists from all over Europe, so that any strange problem will arise, such as-

"Figo, what do you think of XXX?"

Although this sentence has a very standard answer of praising teammates, being modest, and expressing respect for the opponent, once the name filled in the blank becomes a certain beauty, Figo can only wave his hand awkwardly: "We only talk about the game, don't you have anything to ask?" ”

The questions I wanted to ask in the game were gone.

"What do you think about Juan Díaz being pushed at the end?"

"How many points do you think Juan Díaz can score on the team?"

"Luis, if you had to choose, would you sleep with Juan Díaz or with Robert Carlos?"

…… No, he just wanted to know what kind of sin he had created, and he had fallen to the point where he could only choose these two people.
