The Anglo-Portuguese clash is definitely very interesting, it is a championship-level conversation.

At Euro 04, Portugal eliminated England on penalties from homegrown territory, leaving England with a tragic memory that will never be erased.

And this time, in the opinion of many, it should be the best time for England to take revenge.

Originally, England was strong and imposing, while Portugal had just fought a big game with the Netherlands, and the two teams were not on the same level at all.

However, England is worried that their habitual loss of the chain in major competitions has plagued the Three Lions as the favourites for the umpteenth time.

And in the eyes of many fans, Vardy has always been a big time bomb, as powerful as a nuclear weapon.

If it is used well, it is a typical nuclear deterrent with obvious strategic significance;

But if it is not used well and detonated in front of its own house, the Three Lions will have no bones left.

Although Vardy's performance is exceptional, he is the biggest discovery and hero of the World Cup in England, but don't forget the most conspicuous label on Vardy's head -

Tease!

Admittedly, Vardy's big picture has improved considerably, with few expulsions for teasing during his time at United.

But during the Everton era, it was almost commonplace, you know, Moyes was worried every day, for fear that Vardy would play with fire and fall his hair down one by one.

If Jamie Vardy suddenly makes another brain draw in the next game, causing trouble for himself and the team at the same time, do you think England can go far?

Not to mention anything else, Vardy snatched water from the Ecuadorian goalkeeper in this game, which is a very dangerous signal.

Fortunately, Ecuador didn't have much fighting spirit at that time, and the Ecuadorian goalkeeper's temper was not hot, if it was replaced by another person, the game would be very stale, and you would steal someone's water to drink, and it wouldn't directly cause a conflict!

If Vardy is pushed by the other party, then Vardy will definitely not be able to fight back, it doesn't matter, the group of teammates on both sides who are afraid of the chaos in the world will immediately be able to provide tactical support, and then a big brawl will be born.

After the fiery conflict is over, even if it is to make an example, the referee will definitely severely punish a group of people.

So as the instigator of the incident, can Vardy run?

When you think about it, you feel scared!

Their concerns are not unfounded!

For someone who has had countless criminal convictions, it doesn't seem like a big deal to do it again

Vardy is so scary, so can you do without Vardy?

The answer is definitely no!

England without Vardy, just refer to the first group stage when England were almost wiped out by Paraguay.

Wayne Rooney's form is average, Owen has declined badly, Crouch is useless, and England's only striker who can handle it is Vardy.

If you don't play Vardy, do you want to play in a strikerless formation?

All England fans are counting on Jamie Vardy to score and will abandon Vardy unless the interim coach goes crazy.

So, it's useless to dwell on it, and the best thing to do is to pray to heaven that Vardy doesn't have an intermittent brain short circuit.

And another highlight of this game is the direct confrontation of Manchester United's trident in the national team, and what will be the breaking point of the confrontation between the three good friends at the national team level?

A lot of media began to hype the duel between Vardy and Ronaldo, the performance of these two players will directly determine the outcome of this game, and the duel between the two is also a direct dialogue between the young generation of superstars, although it seems that Vardy is currently one step ahead, but who can achieve better results in the World Cup will undoubtedly add more weight to themselves.

The English media naturally touted Vardy, even if his previous performance was not mentioned, just seven goals in this World Cup were enough to show off for a lifetime, how many people have achieved such an achievement?

Although Ronaldo is also excellent, at least his performance is far inferior to Vardy, and his best choice is to continue to be a green leaf next to Vardy and accompany Vardy.

And the Portuguese media naturally-for-tat, thinking that most of Vardy's outstanding performance in Manchester United is because of the support of Ronaldo, otherwise Vardy would not have such an eye-catching performance, as for Vardy's performance in the World Cup, it is simply a goal on the weak team, who wouldn't abuse vegetables!

The English media retorted again, where is Ronaldo who passed the ball to Vardy? If Cristiano Ronaldo could pass the ball, Ruud van Nistelrooy wouldn't have beaten him. And even if it's abuse, Ronaldo can't score so many goals!

There was a war of words between the media of the two countries, and there was no time to stop at all, as if the two were already competing for the World Footballer of the Year.

Vardy and Ronaldo naturally know the virtue of the media, and they hype up whatever they want, there is no bottom line and lower limit, and they don't need to pay attention to it at all.

But there are other people who are unhappy!

Rooney is very dissatisfied with this wave of hype, why just talk about Vardy and Ronaldo?

Anyway, I'm also the golden boy of Europe, and I became famous earlier than all of you, why do I seem to be nobody now?

The three of us are a grade, okay!

So Rooney, who was not willing to be lonely, said that he would join hands with Vardy to defeat Cristiano Ronaldo in this game, and lead England to defeat Portugal and advance to the semi-finals.

But what makes him want to cry is that the media still keep hyping the duel between Vardy and Ronaldo as if they didn't see him at all, which is very embarrassing!

Looking at Rooney, who was devastated by this, Vardy stroked his hair in sympathy.

There's no way, the media public opinion is not something they can control, Rooney's performance is not eye-catching, naturally no one pays attention to you, can you still pinch the neck of reporters and let them write articles to praise you!

"Don't worry, I'll represent you, okay!"

Rooney glared at Vardy and said in a crying voice: "I use you to represent? ”

Vardy knew that saying anything at this time would be a stimulus to Rooney, so forget it.

In an interview the next day, Vardy considered Rooney's feelings and thought for a moment and said: "This match should actually be a battle between Wayne and Cristiano, and there are more highlights in the matchup between them!" ”

What Vardy means is that the two of them debuted earlier than him, and that the two have been teammates at United for longer periods of time, making it easier to dig into highlights.

Perhaps it was Vardy's statement that alerted the reporters, and then the direction of public opinion changed.

Indeed, the two sides of the duel were replaced by Rooney and Ronaldo, but Vardy, who had been out of the way, seemed to have become detached all of a sudden, completely above the two.

Why did Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney face off?

Whoever holds the title of second man in the younger generation will have the opportunity to continue to challenge Vardy, because Vardy is at the top

Not to mention Rooney this time, even Ronaldo is not convinced.

The final result is that Vardy is now avoiding Rooney when they meet, for fear that the unbalanced problem teenager will use himself as a boxing target again, and Ronaldo's phone will not be answered, and the saliva from Ronaldo's mouth can be sprayed in Vardy's face along with the phone line

Despite the uproar, training in England is going on normally.

It seems that Portugal lacks major generals and looks like they are suffering, but how to say that they are also powerful in the world, even if England is arrogant, it is not to the point of completely despising the world.

Therefore, the interim manager arranges an hour after each training session to practice penalties.

Vardy gave the interim manager a high look, whether it was a coincidence or not, but Vardy felt England really needed to practice their penalties.

In Euro 04, England died in a penalty shootout;

In the previous World Cup, England also lost to Portugal on penalties;

In Euro 12, England fell to the penalty shootout again

At least Vardy remembers that England didn't seem to win a penalty shoot-out.

It is no wonder that before the 12 Euro Cup against Italy, the teenager Buffon publicly said that "it is better to study the English penalty video, it is better to watch the A-movie", which is a naked contempt for England's penalty shootout ability!

In the end, it turned out that Buffon has the capital to brag, because in the penalty shootout, Buffon, who watched the A-movie, really eliminated England, maybe this is the great power that the A-film gave him!

Of course, there may be another explanation, in the computer of the assistant coach of the Italian national team, the name of the England penalty video is "A-film" or "A-film"

Even if you don't have confidence in England's ability to take penalties, it's better to sharpen your guns and be unhappy than to practice nothing.

Vardy didn't have the characteristics to increase his ability to take penalties and could only rely on himself, so in this regard, Vardy was a bit out of his way.

That's why Jamie Gundy barely takes penalties at the club.

When training on penalties, Vardy's penalty percentage against England's No. 2 goalkeeper was less than 60 per cent, and the interim boss simply excluded Vardy from the squad

Vardy doesn't care, if he insists on going on even though he knows he can't do it, then the whole of England will end up in the pit.

As long as there are no long draws, Vardy doesn't have to worry about playing and he feels no pressure.

Well, I should recall the direction of the Portuguese stars' penalties in the penalty shootout, if you really recall it, tell Robinson in advance, England doesn't seem to have no chances.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Vardy only remembered one shot, that is, Cristiano Ronaldo, the last Portuguese penalty kick, kissed the ball before the penalty, and then there was no more

Naturally, this idea fell through.

Sometimes we don't lose because the opponent is too strong, but because we are too shitty, and England has been a good illustration of this most of the time.

In this penalty shoot-out in the previous life, Frank Lampard and Gerrard's penalty kicks were both saved by Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo, and Carragher failed to break Ricciardo's ten fingers, only Hargreaves did this, but in the end, England didn't even get a chance to play the fifth penalty taker, because the game was over!

It's really a sad story!
