In the first round of the group, Portugal won by one goal, and the Portuguese national team temporarily ranked second in the group, because Mexico in the same group defeated Iran 3-1 and temporarily ranked first. In the second leg, the Portuguese national team will face Iran, and if the Portuguese national team wins against Iran in this match, then they will qualify for the first round of matches.

In the second round of the game, Qiu Ze also sat on the sidelines as a member of the coaching staff to watch the match between the Portuguese national team and Iran.

Watching the first game in the coach's seat, Qiu Ze felt a lot of emotion, this close feeling of the shijie cup is very different from sitting in front of the stands and the TV, this experience, Qiu Ze feels very valuable, he cherishes this opportunity.

In the second leg of the group, the Portuguese national team played against the Iranian team. Mexico and Angola were drawn 0-0 before this game, and Mexico did not take advantage of the opportunity to qualify early, which is good news for the Portuguese national team.

However, the Portuguese felt the pressure after the start of the Portugal-Iran match and the game was not as good as they thought it would be. Sitting on the bench, Qiu Ze was very nervous, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

Although the Portuguese national team has been attacking in the first half, there is still a big gap between the goal and the goal. On the contrary, it was the counterattack of the Iranian team, which made Portugal a little overwhelmed, and this game made Qiu Ze and the Portuguese fans very nervous.

As early as the seventeenth minute of the second half, Deco broke the deadlock and opened the door to victory with a long-range shot from outside the box after receiving a cross from Figo. Then in the 80th minute of the game, Figo was tripped in the penalty area, Portugal won a penalty, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo made it 2-0, Portugal had a thrilling victory over Iran, and advanced to the round of 16 one round early.

This made the Portuguese national team enter the round of 16 of the Shijie Cup again after 40 years, which made the Portuguese fans excited and happy, and Qiu Ze was also very happy, very happy.

Although they have already qualified early, the Portuguese national team is not taking it lightly, they still want to top the group, and in the Zuihou round, the Portuguese national team will win the group as long as they do not lose. Mexico, on the other hand, can only win the group if it wins, and if it draws, it can qualify second in the group, and if it loses, it is possible to be out of the group.

So, this game is very important for Mexico. However, the Portuguese did not give the opponent a face, and as soon as they came up, Portugal launched an attack and did not seem to have reservations because of the early qualification, which made it difficult for Mexico to parry.

In less than 25 minutes, the Portuguese national team had a two-goal lead over Mexico with one goal each from Maniche and Simao. This made the Mexicans nervous, but after just five minutes, the Mexicans pulled a goal back and gave them hope that otherwise it would have been hanging in the air.

In the end, the Portuguese national team defeated the Mexican team 2-1 in this game, and the Portuguese national team won all the group and accumulated nine points to advance to the round of 16 as the group leader. Mexico, on the other hand, miraculously qualified for the round of 16 as group runners-up due to a draw between Angola and Iran.

In this way, the Portuguese national team will face the Netherlands, the second place in Group 3, and Mexico will play Argentina, the first team in Group 3, in the round of sixteen.

For the next game, Qiu Ze felt very worried, because as a person who came over, Qiu Ze knew that the match between the Portuguese national team and the Netherlands team would be extremely bad, and he was a little worried.

Portugal and the Netherlands have played each other in total, with Portugal having five wins, three draws and one loss, occupying the absolute top. However, the Dutchman is confident of this game and they claim they can beat Portugal to advance to the next round.

Qiu Ze sat in the coach's seat as usual, and this guy seemed to have become a member of the coaching staff of the Portuguese national team. And Scolari seems to have this meaning, often explaining and analyzing the situation and tactics on the field to Qiu Ze on the sidelines, and sometimes, this guy has to ask Qiu Ze's opinion.

Seeing this, everyone seems to think that Scolari is not looking at the player Qiu Ze, but the coach Qiu Ze. It seems that Scolari has the intention of making Qiu Ze his successor? That's what the media has been hyping up lately, but they themselves know it's just a joke.

However, what they didn't expect was that the joke came true in this game. The Portuguese national team broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute of this match and scored Maniche. The Portuguese national team leads the Netherlands by one goal.

After that, the Dutchman kicked more and more anxiously, and the action became bigger and bigger. The Portuguese were very dissatisfied, and their mood was also affected to a certain extent, and at this time, the referee of the game, Ivanov, stood up and showed four yellow cards in a row in ten minutes.

This time, the players on both sides were not calm, and their movements on the court were relatively large. In stoppage time of the first half, Portugal's Costinha was sent off for a deliberate handball, which caused the Portuguese to lose their cool.

At the beginning of the second half, the action of both sides was still very large, and it did not improve due to the half-time break. In the second half of the game, the referee from Russia, Ivanov, changed his image of being a softer law enforcement in the past, and decisively showed yellow cards frequently.

The successive yellow cards made the players lose their minds, and in the 68th minute, Bora Luz elbowed Figo and was sent off with a red card. In the 78th minute, Deco was sent off by referee Ivanov for a red card on the grounds that he hated the Dutch team's serve.

This made Scolari and members of the coaching staff on the bench unacceptable, complaining on the sidelines. Russian referee Ivanov showed two red cards directly to Scolari's assistant coach of the Portuguese national team and was sent to the stands.

The head coach and assistant coach were sent to the stands, and at this time, it was a very crisis for the Portuguese national team, and they had one less person on the field.

The main question is who will direct the next game? Is it a goalkeeper coach? Or a strength and conditioning coach?

So a strange scene appeared, and it was Qiu Ze who stood up to direct the Portuguese national team game, which no one expected. Seeing Qiu Ze, a nineteen-year-old guy, standing on the sidelines and loudly reminding the command of the Portuguese national team, everyone had a ridiculous feeling.

Oh my! Are the Portuguese crazy or what? Let this nineteen-year-old kid direct the game, God, you take me, I can't stand it.

The fans of the Portuguese national team were also surprised, and they did not expect Qiu Ze to direct the game. At the same time, they were even more worried, not knowing what the outcome would be, and they felt bitter in their hearts.

When he learned that he was going to command the game, Qiu Ze himself was a little confused. Although it was just a message for Scolari in the stands, Qiu Ze still felt very incredible. Isn't this job more suitable for goalkeeper coaching? Does Mr. Scolari really have the idea of grooming himself to be his successor?

However, at this moment of crisis, Qiu Ze has no chance to retreat and hesitate, he must go up. So, this guy listened to the walkie-talkie in the dugout, and then rushed to the sidelines, shouting at the Portuguese players in the stadium, conveying Scolari's meaning.

The reporters at the scene felt inexplicable when they saw all this, damn it, this really happened! Isn't it April Fool's Day?

The game continued, and soon, everyone's attention was drawn to it. Is this still a fucking competition? The referee stopped the game a moment later, showed a yellow card, or gave a warning, the game was intermittent, and it was impossible to play football for five minutes in a row, and the game was stopped again.

The referee was like a card machine, playing cards continuously, which made everyone on the scene very dissatisfied. In the minute of stoppage time of the game, the referee also issued the sixth red card of the game, directly sending Van Bronckhos of the Dutch team to the field.

In the end, the Portuguese national team won the game by a small goal and won the game miserably. The loss of not only two big players but also two managers in this game has left Portugal's players and fans worried about Portugal's future.

The Portuguese media was wailing, there was no joy of advancing to the quarterfinals at all, and they frantically cursed the referee of the game, Ivanov, what can this guy do except play cards?

Ivanov in this match is not at all the same as he was in previous decades, which is very unusual. This made both the Portuguese and the Dutch wonder if there was a conspiracy behind this? They all think that Ivanov took the money, and it was a rigged game.

Both the Portuguese and Dutch were dissatisfied, and after the game, the Dutch and Portuguese players surrounded the referee Ivanov and asked him for an explanation, but the guy did not say a word, and fled in disgrace under the cover of the security personnel.

The match caused a lot of repercussions after the game, with the assistant coach of the Portuguese team becoming Scolari's mouthpiece, saying that it was someone who was going on to fix Portugal and that they didn't want Portugal to go further.

The Portuguese have reason to think so, in this game they have two players sent off directly, several players have been yellow carded, two coaches have been sent off, isn't this a naked weakening of the Portuguese national team? It's clear that there are people who don't want Portugal to go on.

Unfortunately, the assistant coach of Portugal was additionally punished by FIFA for these inappropriate statements and suspended for five games.

This has naturally caused discontent among Portuguese fans and players, but this is not the time to ask for an explanation. The Portuguese national team can't go on like this, otherwise, there will be no way to play in the next quarterfinals, and at this time, the Portuguese national team can't mess up.

There are a lot of questions plaguing the Portuguese national team, the main one being who will replace the suspended Scolari to direct the next quarter-finals. Scolari and the assistant coach are suspended, and the goalkeeper coach and the fitness coach don't know much about tactics and so on, so it's a problem.

After Scolari's repeated thinking, he felt that it was better to let Qiu Ze command, of course, this had to be controlled by him, and Qiu Ze was just a microphone.
