Chapter 1278: A Trip to Portugal

PS1: This is Wednesday's update.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to break the update......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

"Tony, the purpose of our visit to Portugal this time is to observe the players who are playing in the European Championships, right?" On Miramar Beach, seven miles south of Porto, Karin, who was sunbathing, said something rather scenic, "So, is it really appropriate for us to go here instead of going to the training sites of the national teams?" ”

Unlike Zhuang Mingge, who always puts on a posture of shaking his hands and being in charge, Karin and Little Groz both have a strong sense of professionalism, and their abilities are also standard strong woman templates. Otherwise, even if Zhuang Mingge had the golden finger of the traverser, it would be impossible for him to lay such a big family business in just a few years.

"Karin, just take it easy, just enjoy this holiday, don't always focus on work, that would be too tiring~ After all, there are still five full days before the opening ceremony, and the opening ceremony is held in Porto, so we don't need to be in such a hurry." Zhuang Mingge took a sip of Porto's local wine and said very comfortably, "Besides, even if we go to the training sites of the national teams to find out the news now, I'm afraid people won't let us in, right?" ”

"That, that, boss......" At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo also said with an uncomfortable face, "Is it a little inappropriate for me to appear here?" If I let the media know, I guess I'll be in the headlines the next day as a negative example. After all, it's a bit unreasonable to be here to enjoy the upcoming European Championships, which is so intense that everyone is preparing for the upcoming European Championships......"

Hearing Ronaldo say this, Karin and Groz Jr. both looked at him with appreciation. Obviously, they are quite satisfied with the self-discipline and motivation shown by Ronaldo.

"Cut, it's not like you didn't get the old stubborn consent of Scolari when you came out this time, even if something happens, he will bear it, what are you afraid of here?" Zhuang Mingge pursed his lips, contrary to Karin and Groz Jr., he was very dissatisfied with Ronaldo's cautiousness, "Moreover, you have not become the main force in Scolari's mind, and he still regards the players of the golden generation as a treasure." So it's okay to miss a day's training once in a while, and you won't be able to get into the starting lineup anyway, and you'll be sitting on the bench for 90 minutes. ”

"......" Ronaldo was hit hard by Zhuang Mingge's words, and his expression became heavy, "Boss, although I know that what you said is the truth, can you consider my feelings?" It's a bit hurtful to put it so bluntly......"

Although Ronaldo joined Fiorentina, the top club in Europe, early and made a name for himself earlier than in his previous life, Scolari did not correct him as the main force after becoming the head coach of the Portuguese national team, but firmly trusted the duo of Figo and Simao, and the rising stars of Portuguese football, Quaresma and Ronaldo, could not steal the main position from the two at all.

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge would have commented on Scolari so before, in his eyes, Big Phil began to become conservative and unenterprising after leading Brazil to win the World Cup, and he has always been eating his own old book. Therefore, in his previous life, he got worse and worse after leaving the position of coach of the Portuguese national team, and finally he could only go to the Chinese Super League.

It stands to reason that players like Ronaldo, who have been called into the national team, should not appear here at this time and enjoy the holiday with Zhuang Mingge, but should sweat on the training ground with the big brothers of the national team to prepare for the upcoming European Cup. But who let Zhuang Mingge have some relationship with the Portuguese Football Association, and directly took the high-level route to get Ronaldo's vacation.

The top boss spoke, and Scolari could only obediently obey the order if he was reluctant, giving Ronaldo a day off. Of course, the Brazilian coach still made a note for Ronaldo in his heart, ready to settle accounts after the autumn.

Now here, by the way, the final ownership of the Champions Cup in the 03-04 season. On the evening of 27 May, Chelsea and Monaco, who reached the final of the Champions League for the first time in their history, battled it out at the Schalke Stadium.

Although these two teams are far inferior to Fiorentina and AC Milan in terms of reputation, the game was surprisingly exciting and intense, and not dull at all. This is because after the two managers Wenger and Spalletti have adjusted, Monaco, which is now in the hands of Deschamps, is full of attacking spirituality, and on the contrary, the defensive end is naturally not very solid.

In contrast to Monaco, where the attack is heavy and the defence is light, Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea are a defensive team through and through. Therefore, when these two teams collide together, it may be quite difficult to make the game boring.

In the end, Chelsea, who had a number of experienced veterans such as Zola, Hasselbaink and Desailly, had the last laugh in this Champions League final. The Blues relied on an Italian-style reinforced concrete defence to keep Monaco's attacking firepower out of their pride, and then used the forward line of Gianfranco Zola and Hasselbaink and the pace of Glen Charles to win the first Champions League in the club's history with a 2-0 win over Didier Deschamps' Monaco.

In the post-match selection, Zola, who contributed a goal and an assist in the game, was rightfully named the best player of the match. The Chelsea legend made a perfect curtain call as his best and final gift to Chelsea. The reason why it is the last gift is because Gianfranco Zola has decided to return to his roots this summer and play for his hometown club Cagliari.

Okay, now let's get down to business and turn our attention back to the upcoming European Championships. On June 12, the 12th European Football Championship officially kicked off at the Estadio d'Oro in Porto, Portugal. The match was played between the hosts Portugal, who had a geographical advantage, and the Greek team led by Otto the Great Rehhagel.

With Portugal having the absolute upper hand on paper and playing at home, the hosts are not likely to miss out on the opener, no matter how you look at it. The only question is how many goals will Portugal win against Greece in this game......

However, the final score was 1-2, and the hosts Portugal shocked to lose to the underdogs Greece in the opening game, breaking the first big upset of this European Cup!

And with Portugal's defeat in the first game, a real-life version of the myth began to play out again in the Iberian Peninsula.
