Portugal, since the golden generation has retired one after another, in addition to Ronaldo, Nani and Pepe and Coentrão are more famous.

However, Nani's development at Manchester United has not been as good as expected, and Coentrão has only brought him to Real Madrid because Mourinho has brought him to Real Madrid, and in his own right, he is not too strong as a left wing-back.

Everything about this team is pinned on Ronaldo.

From the moment he saw England win over Spain, Ronaldo has been on a high pitch, not only because of Mackqin, but also because of the rhetoric in the media.

Before the Anglo-Spanish game, the media overwhelmingly believed that either England or Spain would be an absolute challenge for Portugal in the semi-finals, and the hope of winning was slim, as if they were the role of accompanying the prince to study, which was especially unacceptable for the arrogant Ronaldo.

In his dictionary, there is no invincible opponent.

What's more, in terms of the historical record of England and Portugal in the competition, Portugal has definitely been dominant recently, in the 06 World Cup, England was eliminated by Portugal, and in the 04 European Cup, England was also eliminated by Portugal, dating back to the 00 Euro Cup, England was reversed by Portugal 3:2 in the group stage.

Coming from the numbers, England's "enemies" are really a lot, Sweden, Portugal, are not the first-class teams in Europe, excluding friendly matches, England has not won Portugal for many years in the main match.

This is Ronaldo's confidence, he and his teammates also talked about this psychological advantage in an interview before the game: "England's results in recent years have been really good, just like France ten years ago, Spain four years ago, but this does not mean that they are invincible", Ronaldo and Nani said in an interview with the media.

'We've beaten them a lot in the last 10 years, I know Mark, we've been rivals for many years, we know Wayne Rooney, we've been opponents for many years, I don't think we're going to lose to England as the media says, to be able to reach the semi-finals is a testament to our quality......

The European media did a lot of coverage of this game before the game, after all, when it comes to the semi-finals, there are only three games when it comes to the full, and the European Cup is not like the World Cup, and there are three or four finals.

And Portugal vs England is the semi-final that will be played first tonight!

The Times: England is in high spirits, Capello has deliberately done closed training in the past few days, and it seems that he takes this game very seriously, Ferdinand said frankly that England must enter the final!

"Kicker": England and Portugal meet again after six years, whether they can avenge the revenge of Euro 04 and World Cup 06 is up to tonight.

Torino Sport: Cristiano Ronaldo and Marc met again in the European Championship this season, for Ronaldo, who has achieved nothing at the club this year, he must be quite expecting to win the European Championship, otherwise, he will be subservient to Marc on all fronts this year, which is unacceptable to him.

As: Mark is attacking Zidane's great record, and his opponent is Cristiano Ronaldo, which is similar to the competition between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in La Liga, if Mark can return to La Liga with the European Cup, he will become a veritable emperor of Madrid, but unfortunately not at the Bernabeu!

Atletico Madrid's official website is not willing to be lonely, after Spain was eliminated, they began to fully support Mackqin, today's headline is: "King of Madrid, waiting for your triumphant return!" 》

"Roar...... we are...... Great England! ”

"Roar ......"

As soon as the England bus drove out of the training base in Dynamo Kyiv, it was met by a dense crowd of England fans outside.

They were dressed in England's white jerseys, and many of them wore crosses and flags painted on their faces, waving scarves or slogans, as if they were sending their soldiers on the march.

Because this is the road to the final.

"Audience friends, audience friends", the BBC reporter nervously did the live broadcast in the chaos, entering the semi-finals, the BBC unprecedentedly increased the intensity of interviews, from the pre-match follow-up, to the post-match interview, almost the whole coverage.

As long as they can beat Portugal tonight, they can create the best European Championship record in England's history, which many England fans dream of and are ashamed to say.

Their European Championship history is simply unwatchable, so you can understand their expectations for this tournament, this kind of longing.

"The buses in England are already on the road and they are expected to arrive at their temporary hotel in Donetsk around 5pm, which is the fourth time England have played at this stadium, and we are very familiar with the stadium compared to Portugal," the BBC reporter spoke into the microphone.

"Our fans are also very welcoming, there are about 1,000 fans cheering off the team, it is estimated that hundreds of people will follow the bus all the way, and we will send you a timely report again when the team arrives in Donetsk......"

After a few days of emergency training for the whole team, Capello did not let the players conduct too many interviews, but closed them because they had to practice some new tactics.

Although it is not yet fully tacit, but occasionally can be used, maybe it can decide the game, Rooney, Mackqin, Gerrard The three arrows may be the best attacking combination in England for more than a decade, and Capello also wants to seize their golden period and try to produce results.

Mackin was very relaxed with Milner in the car, Portugal could not give him a sense of nervousness, even with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Milner was happy that he could start today in place of Frank Lampard.

Why did this arrangement, Capello and Lampard have explained very clearly in advance, Ronaldo on the left side needs a lot of full-backs to help defend, and Lampard's coverage ability is somewhat unable to keep up.

Frank Lampard can't keep up with the natural need for Gerrard to come back to help, which will affect Gerrard's attacking efficiency and even affect the team's attack, because today, England will definitely attack.

Portugal's coach Bento is not well-known, but he is very pragmatic, and I don't know if he was influenced by Portugal's great Jose Mourinho.

On Milner, it is to fancy Milner's running ability and game attitude, which is also what Capello admires Milner the most, "He is an absolute genius in terms of game attitude", this is Capello's evaluation of this later generation called "rice".

Maybe his skills and talent are not outstanding, but he is really everywhere on the field, and in this game, Capello just let Milner play a biased role of covering the defense and playing.

Or that Capello wants Milner to be a Gattuso who can pass and respond!

"Ronaldo's dribbling has regressed very much, and now he basically changes direction by explosiveness", Makqin easily explained to Milner some views on Ronaldo, which can help him defend this time.

"So the first step must not be the first to kick, is to follow him, stuck his passing route, many times, he himself will make mistakes, once he starts, stick to him, create opportunities for teammates to help defend, Ronaldo will basically use a bicycle or heel change direction to shake up space......"

Milner listened carefully and took it to heart, although they have communicated more than once in the past few days, these are the experiences of Atletico Madrid's defense of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Glen Johnson in the back also nodded in agreement, I don't know if the Portuguese side is the same, Pepe may be explaining to his teammates, how to defend Mack.

Three hours passed in a flash, and the greeting of England fans in front of the hotel in Donetsk was even more spectacular than when they came out.

Because many fans who want to watch the football have already arrived in Donetsk in advance, they are now familiar with it, and even fans have already bought tickets for the finals.

England's players got off the bus one after another, waving to the fans, who had limited time to eat and rest before heading to the stadium to prepare for the game.

8:45, start on time!

"See you in the finals!" , The BBC is a big stage after all, and Mark Qin got out of the car or leaned over to accept a brief interview, but the first sentence detonated the scene.

"Roar ......", "Mark ......", "Let's see ...... in the final"

Seeing this situation, Mark Qin smiled and waved his hand, and hurriedly walked into the hotel, the BBC reporter was very excited to the camera and said: "Mark issued a final declaration, tonight, we will definitely defeat Spain, look at our morale, how high ......"

At the same time, I don't know how many TV stations in many countries have simultaneously started the pre-game prediction and analysis program in the studio, after all, there will be another final.

In China, it was close to 12 o'clock in the morning at this time, Zhan Jun, Huang Jianxiang, and Zhang Lu were all nervously making final preparations, and in another hour, their live broadcast would start early.

But fans all over the country have already sat in front of the TV early, and today is the weekend, and I believe that those who stay up late to watch this game at night will exceed 100 million.

"Is it Ronaldo who pulled back a game, or is Mr. Ma fully covered? After this game, you will see! ”

With the start of the live broadcast, the Bath Arena also exploded, and fans on both sides were already filled with the stands that can only accommodate more than 50,000 people, as well as many celebrities, celebrities and dignitaries.

The buses of England and Portugal also drove into the stadium from the same entrance at this time, Portugal went to the home team's dressing room, and England drew the away draw.

The heat of the race, like water boiled on a gas stove, is beginning to waft white, and I believe that soon, it will be boiling hot.

Familiar field, different opponents, changed clothes, once again stepped into the turf of Bath Arena, began to warm up, the mountains and tsunami rushed in......
