It's been a few days since I arrived in South Africa, and the Confederations Cup is getting closer. At this time, the Portuguese national team ushered in a warm-up match in Zuihou before the Confederations Cup, and their opponent was Egypt.

The Weishenme Portuguese national team will choose the Egyptian team as the warm-up opponent in Zuihou before the Confederations Cup, because their Portuguese national team and the host South Africa are in a group, and they are using the Egyptian team as a substitute for the South African team, to find a feeling.

The Confederations Cup, formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, was initiated in 1991 by the Asian, African, South American and North American Caribbean Football Confederations, and is now hosted by FIFA, which was changed to every four years in 05, and was previously held every two years, and the 8th edition of the competition will be played in 2009. The participating teams are the host national football team, the champion team of the previous season's continental football championships and cups, and the shijie champion team. In January 1992, the first Intercontinental Cup was held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and the Argentine team won.

The teams competing in this year's Confederations Cup include African champions Egypt, Australian champions New Zealand, Asian champions Iraq, North American champions the United States, South American champions Brazil, European champions Portugal, Shijie champions Italy and hosts South Africa.

The group has already been decided, with the Portuguese national team being placed in Group A, along with hosts South Africa, Asian champions Iraq and Australian champions New Zealand. The four teams in Group B are Shijie champion Italy, African champion Egypt, South American champion Brazil, and North American champion United States.

The tournament's opening match was between hosts South Africa and Iraq, with the Portuguese national team taking on Australian champions New Zealand after the match.

It's still a week before the start of the game, so, at this time, the Portuguese national team is ready for a pre-match warm-up match in Zuihou, and their opponents are Egypt in Group B. And in their warm-up match, the shijie champion Italy will also warm up with New Zealand in Group A.

It was a good opportunity for the Portuguese national team to observe their first opponents, New Zealand. However, at this time, they have games to play and of course they can't go live to find out what is going on with the New Zealand team. At this time, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, sent his assistant to obtain information about the New Zealand team.

Egypt are not a weak team, and in the eyes of the Portuguese national team, they should be much stronger than hosts South Africa, because they have several stars playing in European football in their squad. The two biggest names are midfielders Shuki, Middo and striker Zidan.

Midfielder Shuki is now playing for Middlesbrough in the Premier League, and Qiu Ze also played against this kid when he was in the Premier League, and this guy's strength is not bad, and he can be regarded as a top player in the Middlesbrough team.

Midfielder Mido is still very famous in the Premier League, he was the absolute core of Tottenham Hotspur, but now he has left Tottenham Hotspur. This guy can play as a midfielder as well as a striker, he has performed very well in the Premier League, and he has scored a lot of goals, so he has to defend against it.

And striker Zidan's reputation in the Bundesliga is also very loud, he has played in many Bundesliga giants, this guy is very good in the Bundesliga, and he has scored a lot of goals, and he can be regarded as a member of the excellent strikers in the Bundesliga.

So, from here, it can be seen that the opponent of the Portuguese national team in this game is not weak, not weak at all. The Portuguese national team has to be serious in order to win the opponent.

Before the game, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, had made it clear to his players that this game must be won and that it must be a good start to the upcoming Confederations Cup competition.

The Confederations Cup is very important for Queiroz, this is a task given to him by the Portuguese Football Federation, so he will be very careful and cautious.

By the time of the match, the players of the Portuguese national team were in good spirits, especially Qiu Ze, who was in the best spirits since he came to South Africa. However, the weather in South Africa is really hot enough, so hot that Qiu Ze is almost dying.

However, by the end of the afternoon towards evening, the temperature here changes dramatically. All of a sudden, it became very comfortable and suitable for kicking. The players of the Portuguese national team are feeling a little better and they have more confidence in this game.

For this game, both teams are very serious. The Portuguese national team used Essien as a stand-in for South Africa, and why didn't Egypt use Portugal as a stand-in for Italy?

The Egyptian side also attaches great importance to the result of this game, so in this game, he sent a full lineup with a formation of 442.

In the goalkeeper position is Hadari, and in the back four positions are Saeed, Hani 61 Said, Goma and Hassan. In the midfield four, Desi, Raab, Shuki and Moawad are the side. Up front, it's Zidan and Abtrika.

Egypt's midfielder Midodor Mido was not in the team's main squad today, but sat on the bench and waited for his chance.

On the Portuguese national team's side, there is a four-two-three-one formation, with Ricardo in the goalkeeper position and Paulo 61 Ferreira, Carvalho, Pepe and Bosingwa in the back four positions. In the position of the double midfielder, it is Veloso and Deco.

In the front three are Nani, Qiu Ze and Quaresma, and at the top of the line is of course Nuno 61 Gomez.

Yes, today Cristiano 61 Ronaldo did not start and was not on the bench. This guy was suspended because of the game, so this guy stayed in the hotel and didn't come to the scene with the team at all.

Originally, Queiroz hoped that Cristiano 61 Ronaldo would come to the scene to watch the game, but Cristiano 61 Ronaldo didn't want to see Qiu Ze on the pitch, so he proposed to rest and did not come to the scene.

Soon under the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides officially began, and the first kick-off was half of the host Egyptian team.

Egypt are an attacking team, but when they collided with European champions Portugal today, they opted for a counter-attack. Zidan was left alone in front, because this guy had speed, and Jishu was good, and he became a sharp knife for Egypt's counterattack.

To tell the truth, the role of this guy Qi Dan is very obvious, and his strength is not bad. In the 10th minute of the first half, he taught the Portuguese national team a good lesson, this guy almost sent the football into the Portuguese national team's goal, causing the Portuguese to have a false alarm.

This is a counterattack by the Egyptian team, and after the Egyptian team's Shuki broke the ball in the midfield, a simple through ball tore through the defense of the Portuguese national team. Khitan took the football and shook it continuously at the edge of the penalty area, shaking past Carvalho of the Portuguese national team, and then directly volleyed from a step in the big penalty area, and the football was slightly off.

It was really dangerous, and Egypt almost took the lead, which excited the African fans in the room, and they immediately blew Vuvuzuna.

That damn sound made the players of the Portuguese national team suffer a lot, and some of them were already dizzy and shaking under their feet. Really, from the very beginning of the game, that damn Woo Woo Zu started to whine and roar, without stopping for a moment.

This is really the life of the players of the Portuguese national team, Qiu Ze is better, because he has been prepared. In his previous life, he knew the ferocity of this weapon, and in the Confederations Cup in his previous life, the European champion Spanish national team complained a lot about this thing, and even after the Spanish national team lost to the United States in the semi-finals, he attributed all the reasons to this damn woo vuzu.

This shows that European players are not comfortable with this thing, so Qiu Ze has been prepared for a long time. The other players of the Portuguese national team were not so prepared, they were not like Qiu Ze who came through time, and the first time they heard this voice, they were all going crazy at that time.

Egypt, on the other hand, as an African team, did not feel uncomfortable, they played as usual. So, after the start of the game, the Egyptian team played normally, they played well. The Portuguese national team is playing a bit of a market.

Qiu Ze's performance is quite normal, and it can even be regarded as wonderful. However, the players of the other Portuguese national teams are playing very abnormally, so even if Qiu Ze plays well, the Portuguese national team does not have many opportunities now.

On the contrary, the Egyptian team got more opportunities, and it was Zidan, this guy is really everywhere. And his speed advantage is obvious, the players of the Portuguese national team are almost stunned by the sound of this vu vuzuna, and it is difficult for them to catch up with Zidan.

This gave Egypt's Zidan a chance to make a solo move, which frightened the Portuguese national team coach Queiroz on the sidelines, and he immediately jumped up from the coach's bench and rushed to the sidelines, staring at Zidan's white back with a look of horror.

The fans of the Portuguese national team at the scene were also scared and worried, and their eyes were full of horror.

The Egyptian fans at the scene were extremely excited, and they stood up one after another and raised their hands high. The local fans in South Africa blew the vuvuzuna in their hands even more frantically, and they were very excited at this time, and they blew even louder.

Zidan single-handedly faced the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, Ricardo, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, he immediately got up in the run and stabbed the football towards the goal of the Portuguese national team.

Fortunately, this time it was Ricardo who reacted quickly, and he directly made a side pounce to press the football under him. Otherwise, this time, the Portuguese national team will be in trouble.

Seeing Ricardo pressing the football under him, the Portuguese national team fans at the scene immediately cheered excitedly. And the Egyptian fans sighed vigorously, this opportunity is really good, but it's a pity that they didn't grasp it, it's a pity.
