Brazil's victory over the Ivory Coast is a good thing for both Portugal and North Korea, so that after two rounds of matches, the Ivory Coast only have one point, so they now have a chance to put the Ivory Coast team under them.

Ivory Coast's current situation has given the other two teams more hope of qualifying, and of course it has given the other two teams more anticipation for the upcoming match.

For the group stage between the Portuguese national team and the North Korean team, the outside world is very concerned and looking forward to it.

This is not the first meeting between the two teams, the two teams have met once in history, and that time was also on the stage of the Shijie Cup.

However, it was not in the group stage, but in the quarter-finals.

It was the 1966 England Shijie Cup, and the North Korean team at that time was as mysterious as the North Korean team in the South Africa Shijie Cup today, and the outside world knew nothing about them, and people couldn't name the players of the North Korean team. Even the football commentators at the time only used language such as "No. 2 passed to No. 5, No. 5 went through, No. 10 went in, No. 10 shot".

However, the North Korean team in this tournament shocked Shijie, who left a strong mark in the history of the World Shijie Cup, and it was also the first cry of the Asian team on the Shijie Cup stage!

At that Shijie Cup, the North Korean team and the Portuguese national team jointly presented a wonderful match.

It may not be possible to remember who won the Shijie Cup, but it is impossible to forget the quarter-finals match between North Korea and Portugal, which is considered one of the most thrilling classic battles in the history of the Shijie Cup.

It was the quarter-finals of the 1966 Shijie Cup in England, where North Korea met the Portuguese national team, who had reached the final stage of the Shijie Cup for the first time at the time, after a 1-0 defeat of Italy.

This match can be described as a contest between the two new teams, and it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

The process of this game can be described as twists and turns, the game just started twenty-four minutes, the mysterious division of the North Korean team has a 3-0 lead over the Portuguese national team, but just when everyone thought that the North Korean team became the first Asian team to enter the semifinals of the Shijie Cup, and then became the first Asian team to advance to the semi-finals of the Shijie Cup, the Portuguese national team began their sharp counterattack, a thrilling classic game has just begun.

The Portuguese national team, under the leadership of "Black Panther" Eusebio, scored five goals in a row in the following games, reversed the North Korean team 5-3, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Shijie Cup that year, and Eusebio scored four goals alone in this game and became the hero of the Portuguese national team.

It's been 44 years since this game, but it's still being talked about by fans. Now because the two teams will play each other again in the Shijie Cup, this matter is known and recited by more fans.

The two teams met again after 44 years, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people, especially those who had recently participated in that thrilling game.

The player of the mysterious North Korean team back then, and now the legendary star of the North Korean team, Park Doo-il, was interviewed by media reporters before the game, and Park Doo-il was the hero who defeated Italy 1-0 in that Shijie Cup and advanced to the quarterfinals.

At that time, when the North Korean team learned that they were going to play the Italian national team in the semi-finals, almost everyone was not optimistic about them, and even the North Korean players themselves had given up and had already withdrawn from the hotel where they were staying before the game.

But Park Doo-il's shot in the game changed everything, as his goal helped North Korea magically knock out Italy and advance to the quarterfinals of that Shijie Cup.

Park Doo-il said in an interview, "I never dreamed that I would see a day like this. It was a big surprise. North Korean football once again shocked Shijie. In the first Shijie Cup match against Brazil, our players showed good coordination, excellent skills and tactics, and most importantly, tacit teamwork, which made the game very tight and intense. ”

Park Doo-il also said: "Ji Yoon-nam's goal proves the ability and strength of our North Korean team, Shijie will definitely be shocked by us again, and I believe that through this Shijie Cup, many countries will re-recognize us." ”

Of course, when interviewing Park Doo-il, everyone will also be asked about the upcoming match, the North Korean team will play against the Portuguese national team again after 44 years, and everyone wants to know Park Doo-il's thoughts at this time.

Speaking of that match 44 years ago, Park Doo-il had a smile on his face and said, "It was just one game, and qualifying from the group has brought us so much joy." In that game [against Portugal], we all played with a relaxed mentality. While the results have been dismal, we've done well enough. ”

He was so happy with that game, he always had a smile on his face when he remembered it, and the players on that team were happy.

When talking about the upcoming match, Park Doo-il said: "For this match, of course, I hope that our North Korean team can win Zuihou. But our opponents are very strong, and we have to show the mentality of fighting for them,"

From beginning to end, Park Doo-il never said anything like "revenge", and it can be seen that he takes this game very lightly, and also thinks that the game after so many years has no need to be related to the game more than 40 years ago, it is just an ordinary game.

But Park Doo-il's words still gave the North Korean team a lot of encouragement, North Korean football after Park Doo-il's most outstanding star Jung Dae-se also accepted an interview with media reporters before the game, Comrade Jung Dae-se said: "The victory in this game must belong to us, we are confident that we can defeat the opponent and complete revenge." ”

Comrade Zheng Dashi is very hot now, it is said that his agent is too busy now, and many European teams have begun to contact him, hoping to introduce Zheng Dashi and let Zheng Dashi play for their team.

The whole North Korean team seems to have a strong belief in this game, and Ji Yoon-nam, who scored a goal in the last game, said in an interview with media reporters: "We have shown our quality in the game against Brazil, and I don't think anyone can underestimate us. ”

Ji Yin-nam also said: "There are several very good players in the Portuguese national team, they are very strong, but we are not fish belly, we will use our strength to shock Shijie again, because we are the North Korean team!" ”

Kim Jong-hoon, the head coach of the North Korean team, did not accept interviews with media reporters, and Kim Jong-hoon, the head coach of the North Korean team, has the same strong mystery as the North Korean team, he always deliberately avoids media interviews, and even rarely attends the press conference arranged by the organizers, leaving the reporter with the impression of being shy and introverted.

However, Kim Jong-hoon is said to be followed by a fierce general, and as a defensive engineer, his almost ferocious pressing often attracts him red and yellow cards.

It's hard to imagine why Comrade Kim Jong Hoon has changed so much, and is he doing it now just to maintain his mystique?

Kim Jong-hoon did not give an interview to the media, but the assistant coach of the North Korean team gave an interview to the media reporters, and he expressed the meaning of the head coach Kim Jong-hoon, saying: "We have big goals for this game, we will win to get the chance to qualify, and our North Korean team has even bigger goals on the stage of the Shijie Cup." ”

The implication is that the North Korean team is only the most rudimentary goal of qualifying from the group, and now they are not putting their minds on this at all, but on the later games, as if they already think they can qualify from this group.

These practices of the North Korean team made his family feel that they were really a little arrogant, and many media and fans were not optimistic about the North Korean team, thinking that the North Korean team was too self-righteous. But the thought of being in the same situation once made the whole Shijie shocked, so at this time, when they expressed their opinions, their voices were always weak.

However, Portugal's Eusebio, who played in the thrilling game for 44 years, said before the game: "The North Korean team was really strong back then, and in retrospect, we were really lucky to win." Actually, back then, we didn't think we would win. ”

Eusebio also revealed some details of the year, saying: "At 0-3, we almost had to give up. However, I distinctly remember Simon Ace saying to me at the time that as long as we weren't down 0-4, we wouldn't lose. Sure enough, we won the game, although we were lucky to win. ”

When Eusebio mentioned the North Korean team in the 44th year, his expression was very serious and solemn, and he had great respect for the North Korean team, and in his heart, the North Korean team was a strong team and a ball worthy of everyone's respect.

However, when talking about the current North Korean team, he said: "The current North Korean team is obviously not able to catch up with the North Korean team in 44 years, although they have some strength, but this is not enough." And now the Portuguese national team is not the Shijie Cup rookie team of 44 years, so I don't think the North Korean team has any chance in this game. ”

Eusebio is now the ambassador of the Portuguese national team, and his words represent the thoughts of the Portuguese national team. And fans of the Portuguese national team also think that Eusebio is right, this North Korean team is simply not enough to threaten them.

Eusebio also said: "We have Cristiano and Chris two top shijie teams in the team, and we have not only two top shijie stars in the team, but also many players of very good level, we are a very strong team, we came to this shijie cup with the goal of not qualifying from the group, but the shijie cup championship." ”

Comrade Eusebio's words are loud, these words are not only said to the North Korean team, but also to the Shijie Cup powerhouses, they are not a supporting role in the Shijie Cup this time, they are here to be the protagonists, they are here for the Shijie Cup champion.

This is not the first time that the Portuguese national team has said such things, at first everyone thought that the Portuguese national team was changing the topic, but now it seems that the Portuguese national team really thinks so, and their whole team is here for this goal.
