Chapter 92: The Successor

Sweden vs Portugal.

Ibrahimovic didn't say that, especially when the opponent was Cristiano Ronaldo, and he would not admit defeat.

Ibrahimovic also said before the game that Sweden were able to beat Portugal and eventually win the World Cup, this guy is so arrogant, although he was defeated by Ronaldo before, he is now more hungry for victory.

'It's very difficult to beat this Sweden team, it's hard to score goals from us, but if we can continue our previous performances, Sweden have a good chance. But the most important thing now is not how good Sweden are, but there are a lot of distractions in both teams at the moment, because this is the quarter-finals. A team that can handle distractions well will have an advantage. ”

"I'm Swede, I believe Sweden can beat Portugal, I think Sweden can be world champions, like I said before the World Cup. We beat Mexico, Mexico is a strong team, and then we beat Switzerland. So we succeeded, although no one thought we would. ”

"We believe in ourselves, we have a strong team spirit and hopefully we can continue to do so. All Swedes in the world would be proud of our national team and we will continue to be proud of everyone. ”

Originally, he had withdrawn from the national team, but for the sake of the country, he came back, and although he was older, no one dared to underestimate him.

But when it comes to the competition with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic is tougher.

"We lost to them in qualifying five years ago, but this time we will definitely be the winners. Actually, I don't think they are that strong, and Ronaldo is also old, almost as old as me, but I am more fierce than him! ”

"You just said that Sweden has the ability to win the world championship, so if Sweden runs into China, do you think it can beat China?"

It's hard to answer this question, doesn't this mean to ask him if he can beat Dong Fangzhuo? He dared to shout Ronaldo, but shouted Dong Fangzhuo? No one in this world dared to be so arrogant, including him, so his tone softened instantly.

'It's a big challenge and I think it's possible, we have the height advantage and we play more as a team...... With both Germany and Spain going home in the group stage, what else is out of the question? ”

On the other hand, Ronaldo also attended the press conference, and he was equally sharp.

"There was a coach who said that our team is easy to analyse but hard to beat, and I think that's the best description of our team. It's not hard to get to know our team, but our belief is strong and it's been that from the start. ”

The Portugal captain said: "We are a team, we are united on and off the pitch and that is why we have been so successful. We're not strong on paper, but as a team we've got good results and that's all of us. ”

Ronaldo added: "Set-pieces will be the X-factor and we need to pay attention to that. ”

When it comes to Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo is naturally full of confidence, "I beat them five years ago, and I will definitely beat them in five years!" We're not going to give them any chances. ”

"I said before that you and Dong had an agreement?"

Ronaldo smiled, "Yes, we have an agreement, so I must not miss it, this may be my last World Cup, I have to give it my all, my teammates have also told me that they will fight with me!" ”

※※※※

Dong Fangzhuo's appearance in the Samara Universe Arena caused huge cheers from the Portuguese fans at the scene. Figo, the commentator of Portugal Sport, immediately laughed, "I really can't imagine why the two of them are not married, I wonder if the wives of the two of them will be jealous?" They are more like a couple. ”

'Hopefully his arrival will also inspire Cristiano Ronaldo to lead the team to the last four of the World Cup, which we haven't been in for many years, and this is the best chance, past Sweden, we may only be left with Croatia.'

"I predict that this match will be 3:2 and Portugal will advance to the last four." Figo smiled evilly, this score makes people think about it, isn't it the score that killed Sweden five years ago?

Dong Fangzhuo just sat in the ordinary stands, and the surrounding Portuguese fans unceremoniously ran over to take a photo with him and asked for autographs.

For Portuguese fans, they treat Dong Fangzhuo like half Portuguese because of his relationship with Ronaldo. Dong Fangzhuo also got a banner with Ronaldo's name written on it from the hands of Portuguese fans. Then Dong Fangzhuo was very cooperative and pulled a banner in front of the camera lens to cheer for Ronaldo.

On this day, he was just an ordinary fan, a fan of Portugal and Ronaldo.

After the start of the game, Portugal was actually suppressed in the half by Sweden, and the scene was passive, which many people did not expect, and many Portuguese fans were worried, but Dong Fangzhuo looked very relaxed. Hasn't Portugal always been like this? The Swedish team's high and high play seems to be very fierce, and there are famous players like Ibrahimovic in front, but the offensive efficiency is not high.

They pressed Portugal for almost half an hour without achieving anything, and then in the 31st minute, Portugal seized the opportunity to counter-attack. Seat B sent a diagonal pass on the right side, Guedes quickly cut in on the left, and Ronaldo outflanked in the middle and easily pushed the empty goal, Portugal took a 1-0 lead.

Sweden, who fell behind, then had nothing to do in the first half.

In the second half, the side changed again, in the 60th minute, Portugal coach Santos replaced a young player, many Portuguese fans couldn't even shout his name, his name is Felix, just less than three minutes on the field, 18-year-old Felix ran with the ball all the way from his own penalty area on the right side, and then entered the Swedish team's penalty area, selflessly passed the ball to Ronaldo, Ronaldo completed the brace.

2:0。

Sweden are on the verge of a comeback and have little chance of a comeback, while Portugal are in sight of qualifying. Just when it was thought the game would end in a two-goal scoreline, the young Felix surprised the world again when Cristiano Ronaldo knocked the ball to him on the left side of the penalty area, and after he made a quick stop to change direction, past two Swedish defenders and then past the goalkeeper to send the ball into the back of the net.

!

In the stands, Dong Fangzhuo not only gave a standing ovation.

Ronaldo has found a successor, it's this kid, he will definitely not be able to run. Ronaldo was lucky to find a successor at the end of his career.

And what about my successor? Dong Fangzhuo looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a little sad......

Looking for your successor in China? It's really hard.

Isn't it, if there is no new leader, I have to keep playing, right?

Playing in the 2022 World Cup at the age of 37? What if you're still playing at 41......
