62. The appearance of the Delaunay Cup
The heat in the Hornst 61 Happel Stadium was like a hot steam rising in a furnace, and the whole Vienna sky was about to be poked into a hole.
The fans on both sides in the stands were extremely excited, excitedly waving flags in their hands, jumping and cheering for their teams. They can't wait for this game and can't wait.
The atmosphere was very hot, and almost all the fans were already in place.
However, compared to the lively atmosphere in the stadium, the atmosphere in the dressing room of the Portuguese national team is much quieter. Qiu Ze sat in his own place, tidying up his wardrobe, while the other players of the Portuguese national team kept their heads down and thought about something, or imagined the excitement after taking the lead, or imagining the carnival after winning, etc.
This game is very important for the Portuguese national team, what is the purpose of these 20 days of hard work? Isn't it just for today's victory? The players of the Portuguese national team certainly did not want to lose this game, they came with the belief that they would win.
In front of the Portuguese players is the current head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari.
It's Scolari's Zuihou game in charge of the Portuguese national team, and Scolari is very keen to end his Portuguese national team career with a win, a title.
At this point, Scolari's face was very serious, and he knew how difficult it was to play. The Portuguese national team will have to give it their all in this game.
"All right, boys, keep your heads up and act like a warrior!" Scolari suddenly stood up and said, "Our chance has come, our long-awaited opportunity has come!" The Delaunay Cup is now sitting outside, you don't want to watch him be moved by the kid opposite, do you? ”
"Of course not! She's ours! No one wants to snatch it! Pepe, the central defender of the Portuguese national team, rubbed himself up from his position and said loudly.
"Yes! What have we been fighting for so many years? Isn't that just today? Isn't it the Delaunay Cup? We will never let the kid on the other side take her away, because she belongs to us. Carvalho, the captain of the Portuguese national team, also fought and said.
"Never! The championship is ours! The players of the Portuguese national team looked at each other and then collectively roared loudly.
"Alright boys, just have faith! Then I'm going to take Spain, right now! Scolari clenched his right fist suddenly, raised his right hand in the air, and shouted.
"Victory, victory, victory!" The players of the all-Portuguese national team suddenly broke out at this moment, and Qiu Ze only felt that his blood was boiling.
"Okay, let's arrange today's tactics next!" Scolari immediately walked to the tactical board and continued, "I think everyone knows very well the way of football in Spain, they are in the same vein as Barcelona now, the main thing is control, control of the ball, control of the rhythm. So we had to press today and not be able to keep them comfortable with the ball. Then take zone marking, cutting off the passing routes between their players and slowing them down. At the same time, the pressing has to be ruthless, so ruthless that they don't dare to control the ball, you know? ”
"Got it!" The players of the Portuguese national team listened to their manager's tactical arrangement, and their inner confidence suddenly improved.
"The biggest threat to the Spanish national team comes from their midfield, they have a lot of control in the midfield, and they are very good at passing the ball, so today we have to control the midfield of the Spanish national team, even if we have to give up some of the attacking midfielders." Scolari looked up at Qiu Ze as he said this.
Seeing Scolari looking up at him, Qiu Ze already understood what Scolari was going to say.
'Chris, you're going to have a bit of a heavier defensive task today, you're going to have to keep an eye on Xavi and Andres Iniesta in the Spanish midfield. Today we're going to sacrifice some of your offensive prowess, and you're going to have to watch these two guys die. Scolari said.
Listening to Scolari's words, Qiu Ze sighed in his heart: "Sure enough. ”
However, this was the head coach's arrangement, and Qiu Ze had to nod his head to indicate that he knew.
To tell the truth, there is nothing wrong with Scolari's arrangement, Qiu Ze's defensive ability is indeed relatively strong, and having him to defend the midfielder will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Spanish midfielder, but it is a pity to waste Qiu Ze's offensive ability.
'Today we were mainly attacking on the two wings, especially Cristiano's side, and I want everyone to give him enough support. Scolari said to the players of the team, but when he said Zuihou's words, Scolari's eyes fell on Qiu Ze.
Suddenly, the players of the entire Portuguese national team understood what Scolari meant. His arrangement is actually a disguised solution to the contradiction between Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Qiu Ze.
Let Cristiano 61 Ronaldo take the lead, so that the chance of conflict between the two is much smaller. Of course, it depends on whether Qiu Ze is willing to cooperate, so Scolari will set his eyes on Qiu Ze.
Suddenly, the players of the entire Portuguese national team set their eyes on Qiu Ze.
Seeing that the whole team was looking at him, Qiu Ze smiled slightly and said, "I have no objections, I agree with the head coach's arrangement." ”
Listening to Qiu Ze's words, the players of the entire Portuguese national team breathed a sigh of relief, only Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's mouth rose slightly, looking very stinky.
"That's it! That's the tactics for today! For the champions! Let's go to battle! Scolari exclaimed.
"Victory! Victory! Victory! The players of the Portuguese national team immediately stood up, waved their arms, rushed out of the dressing room and into the tunnel of the players.
In the dressing room of the Spanish national team.
Aragonés stood in front of the players with a grim face, but the players of the Spanish national team were full of relief at this time. The Spanish national team played very well in this tournament, and their strength was also very strong. And now he's in great form, and they're very confident that they can win the Portuguese national team, so the Spanish players are chatting in twos and threes.
"Bang Bang!" Aragonés looked at the atmosphere in the dressing room, smiled slightly, and then clapped his hands to draw the player's attention to him, "Well, I can see that everyone is very confident, and I am very confident. However, we can't underestimate the opponents, the Portuguese national team is very strong, there is no doubt about that, just look at their attacking power. Don't think we've got the title, the Portuguese national team isn't that easy to deal with. ”
"Got it, sir! You can rest assured! The players of the Spanish national team all stood up and said at this time.
"Of course, I'm not making you scared because our only goal today is to win. We are the strongest team in this shijie, and we have won the championship today, do you have any confidence? Aragonés' tone was slow, but everyone could tell how firm his words were.
"Yes! Don't worry, boss, we are the only ones who can win this game! "The players of the Spanish national team are full of confidence.
"Well, just have faith. Now let's talk about tactics! Aragonés immediately drew two lines on the tactical board, "Today we are still playing according to our own routine, I believe that we are playing the most advanced football on this shijie now, and no one is our opponent." ”
"Carvalho was our main target today, the fire was mainly behind him, and he was slow to turn around. And Pepe is very reckless, these are our opportunities and we want you to take advantage of that and give me the Portuguese national team. Aragonés said excitedly.
"Got it, sir! You can rest assured! The players of the Spanish national team roared with confidence one by one, compared to Aragonés's subtlety, the players of the Spanish national team are a lot more arrogant.
"That's it! Now that you know what to do, let's go! Go kill the Portuguese! With a big wave of his hand, Aragonés motioned for the players of the Spanish national team to hurry up.
"Kill the Portuguese!" The players of the Spanish national team immediately stood up, shouted, and rushed into the players' tunnel.
As the Spanish national team players rushed out of the dressing room and poured into the tunnel of the players, the players of the Portuguese national team and the members of the referee team of the match were already waiting there.
The referee officiating the match was Rossetti from Italy, a referee who sees football as his life, and in addition to being a football referee, the 40-year-old is also the manager of a hospital in Turin.
Rossetti sees this as a recognition of his work and that of his refereeing team, saying that he will do his best with his two assistant referees, Alejandro 61 Griseri and Paolo 61 Calgagno, to do the job that UEFA has given them, and he believes it will be the most important match of his refereeing career. In addition to this final, the opening match of this European Championship between Switzerland and the Czech Republic was also officiated by these three referees.
At this time, Rossetti and his two assistants were chatting, waiting for the on-site commentator to give them an entrance prompt, and it could be seen that their expressions were very relaxed, and there was no tension as people thought.
"Hello fans, spectators, today we are bringing you the final of the 2008 Swiss 61 Austria Euro Zuihou against the Matadors, the Spanish national team and the Portuguese national team." Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, explained excitedly.
"Haode, now that the players from both sides are ready to enter, the atmosphere of the whole stadium is excited, and the players from both sides are on the field!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, suddenly screamed.
Stirring music immediately rang out in the Hornst 61 Happel Stadium, and the fans in the stadium cheered wildly.
Amid cheers, players from both sides followed Italian referee Rossetti out of the players' tunnel. Walking in the queue of the Portuguese national team, the moment he walked out of the player's tunnel, the huge noise and cheers poured into Qiu Ze's ears, shaking his eardrums, and in an instant, Qiu Ze's heart was beating rapidly, and the blood in his body was surging.
Excited, simply excited.
Listening to the scorching cheers, Qiu Ze felt that his heart was about to melt, it was simply too hot.
As soon as he walked out of the players' tunnel, Qiu Ze in the Portuguese national team saw the Delaunay Cup, the European Cup winner's trophy, placed on the sidelines. Looking at the silver shining trophy, Qiu Ze's head was trembling, and Qiu Ze's heart was excited.
The Portuguese national team players around Qiu Ze had the same expressions as Qiu Ze at this time, and they were so excited, they couldn't wait to rush forward at this time, hug the silver Delaunay Cup into their arms, and declare that this trophy is their Portuguese national team.
Every player who walked past the Delaunay Cup looked deeply at the trophy, and their eyes were full of longing, great desire. What are they doing here for nearly a month? Isn't it just for this championship trophy?
Now that the trophy is in front of them, they are thrilled and eager to do so.
