Two days before the tournament, the Portuguese national team left Johannesburg for Durban.

Durban is South Africa's second largest city and Africa's busiest port, and has become a famous tourist destination due to its warm subtropical climate and coastal scenery.

Of course, the Portuguese national team is not here for tourism, they are here to play, as they will face Brazil at the Durban Stadium in Durban in their final group stage match.

Like the city's ranking, Durban Stadium is the second largest stadium in South Africa for the 2010 Shijie Cup, with a design capacity of 70,000, second only to the Soccer City Stadium.

Durban Stadium, also known as Moses 61 Mabihada Stadium, was named in honor of Mabihada, the former general secretary of the South African Communist Party. The leader who had made a significant contribution to South Africa's independence and liberation movement died in March 1986.

In fact, Durban already had a prestigious King's Park, but the South African Football Association, the Shijie Cup Organising Committee and the Durban City Government decided to abandon the use of King's Park and build a new stadium complex that can be used for football, athletics, rugby, golf and swimming.

Construction began in August 2006 and was completed in November 2011, making it another landmark in the city of Durban.

The stadium's innovative exterior design features a viaduct over the stadium that runs east and west, an iconic arch reminiscent of Wembley Stadium in London, England, and in fact, the Durban Stadium is inspired by the South African flag, with two arches on the north side of the stadium meeting in the air and becoming one when they extend to the south, symbolizing the unity of South Africa, a historically divided country.

More than just a stadium, the city of Durban has made it a tourist attraction.

The 350-metre-long arch is topped by a cable car that offers a bird's-eye view of the course and the city. Moreover, the Durban Stadium will give adventurers a chance to jump from an 80-metre-high vaulted bungee jump.

It is more than just a football stadium and a football-themed theme park area, with indoor gymnasiums, football museums, sports academies, restaurants, shops, children's play areas and more.

When he came here to get used to the training before the game, Qiu Ze was also very interested in the design of this stadium, to be honest, this is really a super modern stadium, very good.

This is the first time the Portuguese national team has played in Durban, and of course the first time the Brazilian team has played here, so it can be said that it is a very neutral stadium.

On the day of the match, the local fans were divided into two camps, ambiguously wearing the yellow jersey of the Brazilian national team and the red jersey of the Portuguese national team respectively to support the two teams. Of course, there were also a lot of fans from Portugal and Brazil who came here to support both teams.

Both teams attach great importance to this game, in fact, Lyon team wants to win the first place in this group, everyone thinks that there is no problem for the Spanish national team to win the first place in the group, and they both want to avoid the Spanish national team.

Now that the Brazilian national team has lost Kaka, this is a pimple in Dunga's heart. The strength of the Portuguese national team is very strong, and they have Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo in the team.

If it was at the end of the first round of the group stage, Dunga would not be so afraid of the Portuguese national team, because in this game, Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo have no connection at all, and the passes between the two are very few, almost zero.

As long as these two guys don't get together and play their own games, their Brazilian team is not afraid of this Portuguese national team at all, and he thinks it will be easy for Brazil to beat them.

However, in the second game of this group, in the game with the North Korean team, Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo were suddenly linked, and Qiu Ze sent exquisite passes to Cristiano 61 Ronaldo many times.

If it weren't for Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's own desire to score goals and bad luck, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo might have scored a hat-trick.

Therefore, at this time, Dunga was a little worried. They can't guarantee that this game Cristiano 61 Ronaldo will not be as unlucky as the last game, if this game Cristiano 61 Ronaldo luck comes?

Therefore, Dunga still attaches great importance to this game, they know that the Brazilian team is not stable to win the group now, and they must face the Portuguese national team.

Speaking to the media ahead of the game, Dunga said: "The Portugal national team is a very strong team, they have Chris and Cristiano in the squad, two super players in the team, and now they are linked, which is a big threat for us. ”

Dunga added: "Of course, we won't give up on this game, we still hope to win and win the group. After all, the Spanish national team is very strong, and no one wants to meet them in the next round. ”

Kaka, a player of the Brazilian national team, said in an interview with media reporters: "I am very familiar with Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, we are teammates at the club, I know his quality very well, he is a very dangerous player, we have to keep an eye on him, otherwise it will be a big problem." ”

Kaka added: "I don't know a lot about Chris, but his quality is very good, we all know very well that such a player is definitely a big problem, we have to keep an eye on him, cut off the link between him and the rest of the Portuguese national team, so that we will have more opportunities." ”

Journalists also asked what it was like for Kaka not to play, and Kaka said: "I feel very sorry that I can't play in this game, and I apologize for the trouble my suspension has caused to the Brazilian team, it's not what I wanted. ”

Kaka also said: "The opponent is very strong, I hope my teammates play well and bring a victory, so that we can advance to the round of 16 of the Shijie Cup together and go further." ”

The striker of the Brazilian national team, Fabiano, also gave an interview to media reporters before the game, and he said in the interview: "The strength of the Portuguese national team is very strong, we will not underestimate them, and it is definitely us who suffer from them. ”

Fabiano added: "Obviously, the Portuguese national team is very keen to win the group, but we won't let them do it. We're going to give it our all and play this game as if it were the final and win." ”

Comrade Fabiano has scored three goals in the previous games and is now in second place in the scorer list, just one goal behind Qiu Ze of the Portuguese national team. Media reporters naturally asked him if he had the confidence to surpass Qiu Ze.

Fabiano said: "Of course, I have a lot of hope and yearning for the top scorer in the Shijie Cup. I'm going to give it my all in this game and try to score more goals and of course it's best to be able to surpass Chris. ”

Lucio, the central defender of the Brazilian national team, also accepted an interview with media reporters, Lucio has played against Qiu Ze in the final of the Champions League, he knows how powerful Qiu Ze is, after all, they lost to Qiu Ze in the first place.

In an interview with reporters, Lucio said: "In my opinion, the biggest threat to our Brazilian national team is the Portuguese national team's midfielder Chris. I've played against them in the Champions League final and I know he's great. ”

Lucio said: "We have to guard against him and cut off the connection between him and the players of the Portuguese national team, especially with Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, if these two people are linked, then the Portuguese national team will be very powerful and difficult to deal with." ”

Lucio's words naturally won Dunga's support, didn't Dunga say before, if there is no connection between Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Qiu Ze, he is not afraid of the Portuguese national team at all, but once these two guys are connected, then the situation will be different.

Judging from the pre-match interview, the Brazilian national team still attaches great importance to the Portuguese national team, and they also expressed their desire to win and the importance they attach to the Portuguese national team.

The Portuguese national team naturally attaches great importance to the Brazilian national team, and the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo 61 Bento, didn't he raise the Brazilian team before the game, saying that the Brazilian team is the five-time champion of the Shijie Cup, their strength is super strong, and the Portuguese national team only has to fight the opponent.

Comrade Qiu Ze also said the same, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo did not say it directly, but this is what he said, they think that the strength of the Brazilian team is very strong, and the Portuguese national team must fight the opponent.

In preparation for this match, Paulo 61 Bento once again left Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Qiu Ze alone, and he once again said in front of the two that this game can depend on the two of them, and he proposed that the two must contact more to win this game.

Paulo 61 Bento also said that the goal of the Portuguese national team is to win, and the first place in this group is their goal, and he does not want to go to the Spanish national team after entering the round of 16, and they must get the first place in this group stage.

Although Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo were very unhappy when they looked at each other, for their own interests, they still temporarily put aside their grievances and put them into the game.

Yes, they are doing it in their own interests. They are also very eager to win the Shijie Cup, and they are also very eager to win this year's Shijie Footballer of the Year, and it is a prerequisite to have a good Haode match in the Shijie Cup.

So, now that they have a common goal and common interests, it is feasible to put aside grievances for the time being.

This shijie has no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

Seeing the positive answers of Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, Paulo 61 Bento is more confident in this game, and in his opinion, it is very promising for the Portuguese national team to win the Brazilian national team.

The match between the Brazilian national team and the Portuguese national team is coming, and the players and fans of both teams are very much looking forward to the start of the match.
