1179 The smoke of the World Cup

Gelsenkirchen World Cup Stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo was greeted with frantic boos from the England fans at the scene.

England arrived at the World Cup with the ambition to defend their title, having won the tournament twice in the last two editions, leaving fans enthusiastic about their national team.

Ronaldo has no problem putting pressure on the referee, and if someone else does it, or on another occasion, in a lower weight game, then such pressure is commonplace.

But Rooney and Ronaldo not only know each other, they are also friends and teammates in the past, and they have worked together in the Millwall youth team, each of which has been their own master in recent years, and has also played against each other in the Premier League.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the star of Millwall, while Wayne Rooney is first and foremost an English native and secondly a popular striker for Manchester United.

For England fans, it cannot be said that most of the fans here are Manchester United fans who choose to defend Rooney, but for too many English fans who have the club's beliefs, except for Millwall fans, other fans are not friendly to Millwall, so they will point the finger at Ronaldo.

Especially after Ronaldo was pushed, he had a facial expression on the sidelines as if he had "succeeded in the conspiracy", which made England fans think that Ronaldo deliberately provoked Rooney.

In fact, objectively speaking, it doesn't matter what Ronaldo does, even if he applauds and claps when Rooney is sent off, because the most fundamental reason for the red card is: why did Rooney step on Carvalho's groin?

If he hadn't made such a dangerous foul move, what would have happened if someone else had provoked him?

Even if he pushes his opponent, the referee will give him a yellow card at best.

Cristiano Ronaldo ignored the boos of the England fans inside the stadium.

He has his own position: he is now the leading figure in Portugal!

He even felt resentment towards the England fans in the stands!

They. Nothing to understand!

Portugal is on the stage of international competitions. It's never been a strong team!

No!

If there is no Figo. Rui Costa, a group of Portugal's golden generation who became famous all over the world in the 90s, may not even be able to reach the world's impression of Portuguese football that is second-rate in Europe.

But thanks to the emergence of the golden generation, they have a huge fan base around the world, which inevitably leads to an unrealistic increase in the outside world's impression of Portugal's strength.

Before the start of the 2006 World Cup.

How many World Cup matches have Portugal played in?

3 times!

And when was the last time Portugal qualified from the group at the World Cup?

40 years ago!

Forty years ago, they finished third at the World Cup in England, thanks to the success of Portugal's legendary Eusebio.

Twenty years ago, they were eliminated from the group.

4 years ago in Asia. They also went home in the group stage.

In 2006, Portugal reached the main draw of the World Cup for the fourth time in their history, what game are they playing now?

1/4 Finals!

In other words, Portugal has achieved the best result in the World Cup in the last 40 years!

With every step forward, it's a new splendor of modern football in Portugal!

And what about England?

has always been a traditional powerhouse in the eyes of the world, even if Aldridge led them to the World Cup and the European Cup, but every time they go to the competition, most of England's favorites are in the top ten!

On the contrary, Portugal?

Nobody talks about whether they can win the championship or not.

Because in the eyes of a true professional football analyst or critic, Portugal is far from the title. It would be nice for the small European country to qualify from the group.

In Ronaldo's eyes, the current England is arrogant. Having been clamoring to defend their title before the World Cup, Portugal is moving forward with a low-key ambition to make history.

They will catch every mistake of their opponent and strike them fiercely!

As it happens, Rooney made a mistake!

He had to pay the price!

How could Portugal miss such an opportunity?

In the end, the quarter-final ended with a draw in regulation time and extra time, and England lost to Portugal in a penalty shoot-out.

And Portugal has stepped into the last four of the World Cup!

They are infinitely close to the best result of the national team in the World Cup, and have the opportunity to create new glories!

Win one more game and go to the finals!

Win two more games and stand on top of the world!

After the game, Fleet Street deliberately magnified Ronaldo's "triumphant" expression when Rooney went off the field, and the national team coach Redknapp also tried his best to protect Rooney before leaving office, plus England fans still remembered Rooney's magical performance in the European Cup two years ago, after all, he was a hero, so almost all of England's anger was aimed at Ronaldo.

Aldridge said bluntly in an interview after the game: "It is unfair to accuse Ronaldo, in my opinion he has done nothing wrong, maybe you think Ronaldo is my disciple, so I will protect him." So I can tell you that, as a manager, after that incident (Rooney stampede, red card), I would first pursue Rooney's foul, which was a red card and there was no controversy, instead of focusing on: Why did Ronaldo run to put pressure on the referee? I would like to ask rhetorically: why can't he put pressure on the referee? In the end, England are out of the tournament as the defending champions, this is football, you will win and you will lose, England need to sum up this defeat instead of complaining and focusing on spitting on others, in which case the future of England will be bleak! ”

As the meritorious coach who led the LinkedIn Gran national team to win the World Cup and the European Cup, Aldridge still has a great role in maintaining Ronaldo for the first time, although some people will still use the relationship of "Ronaldo is Aldridge's player" to deny Aldrich's remarks, but Aldridge did not take it to heart, he also sent a text message to Ronaldo for the first time after the game, congratulated his team on advancing to the World Cup semi-finals, and asked him not to take the things in the game to heart, Ronaldo called him back, a little bitter water, Roughly felt that the fans in England booed him too much, which made him a little aggrieved and angry.

In the next few days, during the World Cup semifinals, the media from Italy and Spain revealed that in view of Ronaldo becoming the public enemy of all England, but Rooney did not become the little becky of the year, Italy's Inter Milan and Spain's Real Madrid all planned to take the opportunity to try to take Ronaldo away!

At the same time, Millwall's promotional poster for the new season was released in advance, and Ronaldo as the protagonist was listed on the poster, which means that Millwall announced to the outside world: Ronaldo will not leave!

Portugal were unable to pull off a miracle as they lost to France in the semi-finals, while homegrown Germany also lost to Grosso in the World Cup final.

On the day of the final, Aldridge went to the scene to watch the game, there were not too many accidents, the old and strong, the more courageous Zidane is a well-deserved protagonist, thrilling but not lacking in elegant spoon breaks, and the last shocking top, Italy had the last laugh in the penalty shootout, and reached the top when the outside world was not optimistic!

The 2006 World Cup came to a successful conclusion.

For Millwall's many players who participated in the World Cup, except for De Rossi, everyone else should be regarded as disappointed, among which Ronaldo and Kaka are the most helpless.

Brazil's tactics for the World Cup are very chaotic from beginning to end, Adriano, Ronaldo, Robinho, the head coach hesitates between playing a single striker, a double striker, and a triple striker.

Veterans such as Nedved were also relatively "bleak" and failed to shine in the World Cup, and the final impact also became an elegy for the curtain call.

Ram and Schneider are burdened with different historical missions in the national team, maybe Schneider regrets are even greater, he was already the captain of the national team when Ballack was absent, and the German team did not perform well, the third place, but his farewell has also entered the countdown, and the era of Ram has just begun.

Alonso, Villa accompanied Spain who wanted to break out of the cocoon and be reborn to play another World Cup that made the outside world accustomed to numbness, and the king of the qualifiers arrived at the main match either lack of luck or languished at a critical moment, but they have come to the eve of dawn, and the bright glory is not far from them.

The most regrettable is Henry, although he is not the protagonist, Zidane who retired with a red card is the one who retired with a red card, but the French team was so close to the World Cup, and Henry also hoped to win the Hercules Cup for the second time, but the reality was not satisfactory.

The young Messi also went to the World Cup for a turn, but unfortunately Argentina is still continuing Menottiism, pursuing offensive and romantic, the scene looks really exciting, much better than the 3313 that was finally ridiculed by the world four years ago, and also left more than 20 team passes in the World Cup with the classic goal of the goal, but this still can't make Argentina go further, but it is Italy's defensive supremacy, similar to Argentina's Bilardoist style, and finally topped the world, for Messi, this is an experience, to be able to scoop up the goal, to talk about masturbation.

As the curtain came down on the World Cup, Aldridge and his family returned to London, and the club gave the players more rest for the World Cup.

Aldridge told the club's staff to report to him every day on the Italian side.

Millwall's plans for the summer transfer window are not much, but they are crucial and important.

Goalkeeper!

Don't worry too much about other positions, years of gradual and benign management have made them strong, and the team's lineup is also very reasonable.

The only place where surgery is required is at the goalkeeper position.

Millwall need a world-class goalkeeper!

Take the team's strength to the next level and approach perfection! (To be continued......)
