19 June 2008, Basel, Switzerland, St. 61 Jacobs Park.

On that day, the St. 61 Jacobs Park Stadium in Basel, Switzerland, was packed to the brim. And there are so many fans who are blocked outside the door and not allowed to enter, and these fans are just outside the stadium, staring at the big screen to follow the battle of the century. Of course, there are also some fans who immediately find the nearest bar and they follow the game in the bar ball. In front of the television, tens of millions of fans waited for the game to begin.

The big screen in the stadium was playing the highlights of the goals scored by the two teams at the European Championship in the world. And Qiu Ze appeared on the screen the most times, because in the first three games, Qiu Ze scored four goals, according to this momentum, as a midfielder can score four goals in two games, which is quite rare, I can't say that the golden boot of this European Cup is Qiu Ze.

The Portuguese fans at the scene shouted Qiu Ze's name, and in this cup, Qiu Ze has already captured the hearts of many fans. Portuguese fans are singing praises for Qiu Ze, and everyone knows that after this competition, Qiu Ze's value will definitely rise.

"Portugal National Sport, Portugal National Team, hello to the audience, I am your commentator. Today's match is a match in the semi-finals of Euro 2008 between former European runners-up Portugal and former Shijie third-place team Germany. This is a winner-or-lose knockout match, and the two pairs will play this game in the best form after all, after all, this is the only chance to advance. The Portuguese national team sports commentator began his words that he didn't say every game.

The Portuguese national team were runners-up at the European Championship four years ago, while Germany were third in the Shijie Cup two years ago, and it is fair to say that these two teams represent the highest level of European football, and this game is sure to be spectacular.

Prior to this, Portugal had won three of their three group games and accumulated nine points and finished first in Group A. The Portuguese national team performed very well in the previous group stage, making them the biggest favourites to win the tournament. So said the commentator of Portugal's national sport.

"However, the market of the Portuguese national team has dropped a lot now. It all came from within Portugal, starting with the departure of the Portuguese national team manager Scolari to Chelsea, then Deco's departure from Switzerland to Croatia for a private meeting with Roman Abramovich, and Zuihou's conflict between Chris and Cristiano. The Portuguese national team is now full of contradictions and internal turmoil, will such a team still have a good future? "It's ironic that the commentators from Portugal's national sporting team don't seem to be optimistic about their national team.

Of course, it is even more ironic that Portuguese fans look down on the Portuguese national team even more.

There are still a lot of Portuguese fans who came to the scene today, but they don't seem to be here to cheer for the Portuguese national team, but to criticize the Portuguese national team.

In the stands, Portuguese fans pulled up countless banners, the most representative of which was "Scolari fuck off, we don't need you." And "Brazilians are Brazilians, never count on him!" ”

These are quite reasonable, some guys are holding banners in their hands are simply unsightly, can you imagine how disgusted Portugal fans are with this Portuguese national team?

"We're actually surprised that the Portuguese national team has come so far, but if we look at the team's stats, we know that it's all due to Chris. Chris scored four goals and provided two assists in the first two games of the tournament to ensure Portugal's national team qualified early. And in the third game, Chris rested and did not play. The commentator of the Portuguese national sports was very emotional.

"In this year, Chris seems to be riding on a rocket, after moving from Benfica to Liverpool, Chris exploded, he is like a different person, from the bottom to the top, from a new star to the superstar. At the club, this guy helped Liverpool win the treble, and in the national team, this guy helped the team qualify early, and this guy's performance is insane. The commentator of Portugal's national sport said with great emotion.

"His crazy performance is to completely leave Messi, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and others far behind, it can be said that he is currently the number one star in Shijie football." The commentator of the Portuguese national sports was proud when he talked about Qiu Ze.

Of course, the previous words may be an exaggeration. However, Chris's contribution to club and country has been real. Now, although the Portuguese national team is full of internal contradictions, it is not that we have no chances. "Deep down, the commentator of the Portuguese national sport still hopes that the Portuguese national team can go further.

"Although we are all complaining about our national team, slamming Scolari and scolding Deco...... But we still hope that the Portuguese national team can go further. It's actually a very strong Portuguese national team and it's our best chance to win the European title. As long as we don't mess with ourselves, I believe that no one will be able to defeat us. The commentator of the Portuguese national sport said with great pride.

"Hopefully, the players of the Portuguese national team can focus on the big picture, seize this opportunity and not disappoint the Portuguese fans. Champion, our Portuguese national team wants the championship, the European Cup! Please do your best to win the championship! Said the commentator of the Portuguese National Sport.

Yes, this guy said the voice of the Portuguese fans, their mood at this time is very complicated, although they are scolding the Portuguese national team in their mouths, cursing and satirizing the Portuguese national team, in fact, they still very much hope that the Portuguese national team can go further, this mood is very complicated.

"Our opponents, the German national team, are also favourites to win the tournament. Even for a while, the German team was even louder than our Portuguese national team. To tell the truth, although the German team is young, their strength is very strong and strong. "The commentator of the Portuguese national sport began to present the information of the opponent.

"Originally, everyone thought that the Portuguese national team and the German national team should face each other in the semi-finals. However, there were some problems on the part of the German team, as they lost unexpectedly to dark horse Croatia and thus did not finish top of the group, and then the German team met our Portuguese national team early. The commentator for Portugal's national sporting team is still presenting information about the German team.

"Our Portuguese national team has been very unstable internally in recent times, and the German team is not much better, and the head coach of the German team, Loew, has also been questioned by countless German fans and the German media, who believe that Loew is not capable of staying in the position of head coach of the German team, and now Loew is Alexander." The commentator of the Portuguese National Sport continued.

"And the German team has injuries at home, Podolski and Frings are not available, which has a huge impact on them. This is definitely good news for our Portuguese national team. "The commentator of Sporting de Portugal has finally given his team a little more confidence.

At this time, the players of the two teams stood in a row, standing on the left and right sides of the referee, and at this time, the voice of the commentator sounded in the loudspeaker of the stadium, as if the national anthem was about to be played and the national flag was raised.

"What is going on immediately now is the ceremony of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, and the national anthem of Germany, the former Shijie third runner-up, will be played first." The commentator of the Portuguese national sport has solved this doubt.

The stadium suddenly became solemn, and the players of the German team sang slowly to the familiar music, their eyes fixed on their flag, their hearts solemn, and at the same time, they felt the glory and pressure. It was a great honour to be part of the German men's national football team, but as soon as they put on the jersey, they felt pressure.

They have a strong opponent, even though the Portuguese national team looks very chaotic at the moment. The Germans did not dare to take it lightly, they did not want to lose the chance to advance to the semi-finals because of their carelessness. They can't afford to lose this one, and of course, Loew can't afford to lose.

After the end of Germany's national anthem, it was the turn of the Portuguese team.

Qiu Ze stood in the formation of the Portuguese national team, and he also raised his head to look at the rising national flag, but Qiu Ze was still his usual style and did not sing the Portuguese national anthem. At this time, he stood there quietly, with a serious face.

And the other players of the Portuguese national team sang solemnly, and even Deco was singing along. In the past, Deco rarely sang the Portuguese national anthem, but today he seems to be doing it a little bit to please the Portuguese fans.

Soon, the ceremony ended. The captains of both teams followed the referee on duty to the side to pick and fight for the ball.

"Heads or tails? You guess one, and if you guess right, you will be the first to choose! The referee looked at the captains of both teams and showed the coins in his hands.

Guess the coin to get the right to be the first to choose, the captains of the two teams each guess one side, whoever guesses right, who has the right to choose first, he can choose the ball, or he can choose the right to pick the side. He chooses the rest, and the loser belongs to him.

The captain of the Portuguese national team, Ricardo 61 Carvalho, glanced up at Ballac, the captain of the German team, and then signaled Ballack to guess first, Comrade Ricardo 61 Carvalho is still a gentleman.

Seeing that Ricardo 61 Carvalho humbled himself, Barak was not polite, and immediately said to the referee: "Yes! I guess heads! ”

"Then I'll do the opposite!" Ricardo 61 Carvalho smiled faintly, in fact, he had no choice but to do the opposite.

"Germany, positive! Portugal, anti! The referee of the match pointed to the two and confirmed.

Listening to the referee's confirmation, the captains of both teams nodded their heads to indicate that they were correct, meaning that you can start.

"Good!" The referee quickly tossed the coin upwards, then pressed it into his hand and slowly opened it.

"Oppose!" The referee showed the results to the captains of both teams, but it was the opposite in front of everyone.

"Mr. Ricardo, what do you Portugal choose?" The referee immediately looked at the captain of the Portuguese national team, Ricardo 61 Carvalho, and asked.

"Possession!" Ricardo 61 Carvalho didn't even think about it, he just picked the ball.

The referee nodded, then turned to look at Rahm and said, "Mr. Ballack, your German team is the right to pick the side, you choose that side of the court?" ”

Seeing that the ball was taken away by the Portuguese, Barak sighed silently in his heart, luck was really back. Barak looked up at both sides of the pitch and said firmly, "Left!" ”

"Alright, gather your teammates, and the game will begin. Possession of Portugal, Germany on the left side. After saying that, the referee on duty immediately left, called the two linesmen together to discuss something, and then the two linesmen left quickly. The referee also hurried towards the center circle, because there, the players of both teams were ready.

"Audience friends, audience friends, hello everyone, now the first semi-final match of the 2008 Swiss 61 Austria European Championship is about to start, today's two sides are the former European runner-up Portugal national team and the first four third place Germany team, the players on both sides are ready in the middle circle, the game is about to start." Duan Xuan, the commentator of China Central Television's sports channel, said very excitedly.

Fans on both sides of the stadium watched the center circle of the stadium as they waited for the official start of the game.
