The next day, we are about to start preparing for the next race. Next up www.biquge.info our opponents will be Portugal, who have great stars such as Figo, Rui Costa and Pinto, who are even stronger than the European Cup winners Denmark in terms of squad alone. Of course, compared with our Croatian lineup, Portugal's lineup is still star-studded, not to mention anything else, just in terms of total value, our Croatian team will be superior to Portugal.

But the biggest gap between us and Portugal is the mental and mental gap. In the 1966 World Cup, after falling behind 0:3, the Black Panther Eusebio led the Portuguese to a 5:3 comeback against the North Korean team. It was the greatest comeback in the history of the World Cup, and we also saw the tenacity of the Portuguese from this game!

Portugal are the strongest opponents in our group. Although the Danish team was the champion of the last European Cup, it is a team without tradition after all, and the number of stars in the team is not much, except for Laudrup, only Schmeichel remains. But Portugal is different - the number of stars in the Portuguese team is very large and the quality is also very outstanding, goalkeeper Beya, midfielders Rui Costa and Luis Figo, and Nuno Gomes in the forward line are all very famous players. In particular, Luis Figo and Rui Costa are well-known midfield conductors in Europe. Portugal's midfield is even stronger than our Croatian midfield, although the backline is slightly weaker, but under the firm guard of goalkeeper Baia, Portugal have only conceded one goal in the first two games, with one win and one draw, temporarily in second place in the standings.

Portugal belongs to the same European Latin school as us. Since they are stronger in midfield than we are, we don't have to fight them in midfield, our tactic is to use the strength of our forward line to have more shots. Our two-striker pair, me and Boksic, is more dangerous than the opposing pair of Nuno Gomez and Pinto. In terms of goals alone, our combination has scored more goals than theirs – I've scored three goals so far and Boksic has scored two. Although Baia is strong, if we can often break through to the opponent's back line and shoot, the number of shots will be too much, and Baia will always be unable to defend.

What's more, Baiya's ability is still lacking compared to Schmeichel of the Danish team. We were able to score three goals against Kasper Schmeichel, so wouldn't we have the advantage against Baya?

Our coach said that since we have chosen a simple and crude approach to the Portuguese team, then we have to practice our shooting and reduce the burden on the midfield by improving the efficiency of the shot. The midfielders just need to get the ball to the strikers faster, and the key is to see how well the strikers can take chances.

If you want to improve your shooting ability, you need further training. As for where to train, the first thing that came to mind was the gravity training room.

So under the organization of the coach, we entered the gravity training room for training. It should be said that it is relatively easy to practice shooting in the gravity training room, so the coach also specially increased our training time to 30 minutes. But this time, not all the people who entered the gravity training room for training were forwards, but also midfielders, and even defenders and goalkeepers were also inside. Because shooting training is not only static shooting training, but also dynamic shooting training, in which everyone needs to face the defense of defenders on the field to shoot. So I also need some defenders to play a defensive role. However, Giarni did not participate in this training because his body still needs a few days to recover, and it is difficult to say whether he will be able to catch up with the battle with Portugal, and such a brutal training as the gravity training room should not be allowed to involve an injured player like Jairni.

At the beginning, we carried out static shooting training, which mainly practiced our foot strength, because we had already carried out frog jump training before, our foot strength has increased considerably, so in the static shooting training, the coach is looking forward to everyone's performance.

In addition, the coach also hopes that in the static shooting training, some players can understand some shooting skills. After all, in the usual shots, many people will only choose one type of foot volley. Other shots, either arched or toe-stabbed, are often incompatible with power and accuracy. If anyone can kick a shot with super power, or someone can kick a shot with both power and precision, as well as a shot with both power and arc, as their own special moves, then they can be used in the game and contribute to the Croatian team's comeback at a crucial moment.

In the match against Denmark, I learned a new kind of shooting, and that was my cosmic shot. Although no one has seen the trajectory of this kind of cosmic shot, even I am not sure how powerful it is......

I think that at the beginning, my cosmic shot not only pierced the net of the Danish team, but also dented the billboard behind it. The power of this shot can be imagined. However, my shot was not just a result of training, it was discovered through my epiphany, through my knowledge of the past and my memories...... That shot is not only the beginning, but also the end, and only after thinking through all the philosophies of life can we understand the true meaning of this shot. Now, the coach puts all the players in the gravity training room and lets them understand the true meaning of shooting, which seems to me to be a bit of a reversal.

However, it is better to practice than not to practice, if they really understand something through continuous practice?

It only takes one person to understand a kind of shooting, and for me, it's a great relief.

After all, it is very physically demanding to kick a cosmic shot, and I think the other shots may be the same, especially in the gravity training room, which should be much more difficult.

However, this time, I was very surprised that someone actually practiced a special move to shoot the goal.

That person was Prosinetski, and the shot he practiced was called ......
