The 382nd Champion Class Treatment
Cristiano Ronaldo, with the help of security guards, got out of the crowd and waited in a specially designated area for the large group to assemble.
During the period, fans came to ask for group photos and autographs, and the Portuguese captain smiled and met them one by one.
Subsequently, Nani was also favored by the media, and an important reason for the media's favor was that he spoke openly, and the media always tried their best to pull out some fierce information from him.
Looking at Nani, the reporters burst into laughter, the most eye-catching was a pillow in Nani's hand, they asked about this pillow, for this Nani honestly replied that he was afraid that the pillow provided on the plane was not comfortable enough, so he specially brought his own pillow to prepare for the 11-hour long-distance flight. Several reporters who knew Nani well quipped that it was no wonder that Nani seemed to be in much better spirits than the others when he got off the plane.
Then, seeing that Nani was in a good mood, the reporters asked a few very sensitive questions, which they expected to talk about.
However, today Nani has been warned by Queiroz not to answer questions easily, so, to the disappointment and surprise of these reporters, Nani did not pay attention to the microphone handed to his mouth, but wore sunglasses and walked straight to the help of the security guard with a cool face.
After Nani, the rest of the Portuguese players rushed by, and even when they were interviewed, they were all formulaic answers, much to the disappointment and displeasure of the media reporters, who waited for hours in the cold wind, not to listen to these unnutritious words.
At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the airport hall, and the fans were shouting loudly. This is Portugal's number one star in the game.
Jonk walked out of immigration with a shoulder bag on his shoulder, and when he appeared in front of the public door with a smile. The flashing lights were almost connected, and countless fans began to scream. The sensation he caused can only be compared to the previous captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Despite the long journey. Jonk felt tired and unusually tired, but Jonk still tried to keep a polite smile and prepared for an interview that he couldn't run away.
"Jonker, set a La Liga record of 42 goals, a lot of people say it's a record that can't be beaten, what do you think?"
"Records are always broken, and of course, I hope I can break my own records in the future." Jonk said with a smile.
"This should be called setting a new record." The reporter said.
"Yes. Your words are more accurate than mine. That's why I can't be a journalist. Jonk nodded.
There was a burst of laughter from the group of reporters.
"Jonker, how does it feel to play in the World Cup for the second time?"
"Hehe, this question is too early, it should wait for the match against the United States, I can only say that I am looking forward to the game as soon as possible."
"Do you have anything to say about Portugal's prospects at the World Cup?"
"You should ask David this question, he is the captain." Jonk said with a smile.
"Cristiano Ronaldo said that he has to play every game." The journalist from Lisbon said immediately. As he spoke, he looked at Jonker with a look of hope, hoping that Jonk would say something that would excite the fans.
"Cristiano said it well, that's what I want to say." Jonk snorted and said with a smile on his face.
Journalists are in a bit of a hurry. What's wrong with today, the Portuguese players are so humble, the sun is coming out of the west?
Immediately, a reporter had a brainstorm. Another question was asked: "The Argentine team arrived three days ago, Messi said in an interview. He hopes to join Argentina in knocking out Portugal to reach the final and eventually lift the title. Just as Maradona did back then. What do you think about this? The question was asked by a reporter from Milan Sport, the Italian was very unhappy with Argentina's ambitions, so the question was also processed, Messi did not say so sharply at the time, of course, he also expressed his determination to win the championship.
Jonk knew that Argentina had come to South Africa three days earlier, the second team to come to South Africa, and Portugal was the seventh team to come to South Africa.
Oddly enough, one of the reasons FIFA chose to hand over the World Cup to South Africa is that it will be the first time the World Cup will be held in Africa, which is expected to benefit the whole of Africa, for example, many countries may choose to prepare in countries close to South Africa. But for now, more than two-thirds of the participating teams have chosen to prepare for their World Cup trip in South Africa in Europe. Australia were the first team to arrive in South Africa, followed by Brazil, Argentina, Denmark, North Korea, Xian and the United States, with Portugal being the seventh foreign team to arrive. But nearly 20 teams have given up on preparing for the tournament in Africa, preferring to choose the European Alps, thousands of miles away.
It's understandable that European teams have chosen the Alps for their high-altitude training, but surprisingly, African countries such as Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Algeria have also chosen the area, not to mention New Zealand and Honduras, which are as far away as the road away.
Maradona's Argentina team arrived in South Africa early, and the reason why Argentina went to the tournament so early, Argentina captain Mascherano has his own statement: "The World Cup fever has made Argentina crazy and anxious, it's terrible, as players, we don't even get the personal space we deserve." "That's why we chose to arrive in South Africa as early as possible, to assemble and not only to focus on training, but also to feel the good atmosphere as part of the World Cup." ”
Jonk listened to the reporter's question, he looked up outside, his teammates were waiting for him, he took a deep breath of the slightly cold air of South Africa, and smiled slightly, "Argentina and us are also in the top half, if we want to enter the final, we are likely to meet, but no team can stop us from moving forward, including Argentina!" ”
There was an uproar at the scene, more excitement, Jonck's words are equivalent to unabashedly announcing Portugal's ambition to win the championship!
The reporters were also excited, and that's exactly what they were waiting here to hear, at the moment. In the eyes of journalists, Jonker is simply cuter than Barbie.
Jonker, of course, knew that the media was trying to get that out of his mouth. However, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with saying this, a team still relies on strength to win the championship. Besides, Portugal is the European champion, even if they don't admit it, they will be considered the favorites by others, and Portugal is indeed aiming for the championship, a team that wants to win the championship, if it doesn't even dare to announce the ambition of winning the championship. Then just go home!
In order to welcome the arrival of the Portuguese team, the South African police specially prepared a police escort team to strengthen the security of the Portuguese team, as the key target of possible terrorist attacks, the security standards of the Portuguese team are no less than those of the United States.
Escorted by heavily armed South African military police, the Portuguese bus sped off to the team's camp, the Royalbafokengnation in the North-West Province of South Africa. The camp, called Bafokeng Sports Campus, is about a two-hour drive from Johannesburg and is already part of the African savannah, close to South Africa's famous tourist attractions – Sun City, Piranesburg National Park and Rustenburg Nature Reserve.
Speaking of the top 32 hotels, it can be summed up in one sentence: the richest may not live the best, and those who have no money may not live well.
In the round of 32. With the exception of Argentina and Spain, all countries are staying in three-star hotels or higher.
Among them, 8 are five-star and 17 are four-star. There are 5 three-star hotels, and most of the teams choose four-star hotels with facilities and prices in the middle (about 1,000 yuan).
Four-star is also the standard in international football, as football has always been considered the number one sport. The team and the players are relatively rich, even if the level of the Chinese men's football team is extremely low. The competition sites are at least four stars or above.
Interestingly, Switzerland, which has more money than Portugal, does not stay in five-star hotels. Instead, they stayed in a four-star hotel, while the Greek team, which was in debt crisis, stayed in a luxury five-star hotel; The mysterious division and the fresh team, who were in average economic condition, stayed in a four-star hotel, while the Australian team, which had good economic conditions, stayed in a three-star hotel.
However, when it comes to it, the most luxurious station is definitely the Portuguese team!
Perhaps just by coincidence, Portugal, the defending champions, chose the tribal kingdom of Bafokengnation, located in the north-western province of South Africa. The camp, called Bafokeng Sports Campus, is about a two-hour drive from Johannesburg and is already part of the African savannah, close to South Africa's famous tourist attractions – Sun City, Piranesburg National Park and Rustenburg Nature Reserve.
Of course, the Portuguese "Portuguese battleship" is not stationed here for sightseeing in the African savannah, and their first group game is at the Royal Bamferken Stadium, which is only a 10-minute drive from the Bamfken Sports Centre. This is Portugal's home turf, and on June 12 it will only have to wait for the Americans to come to the door. In addition, it is very convenient to Piranesburg International Airport, and all other competitions can be flown away.
The Bamferken Sports Centre covers an intimidating 65 hectares and will be the home of the Portuguese players. If Jonk and Nani want to wander around the center, there are several special jeeps for viewing wild nature reserves, and you can jump on them and experience what it's like to hunt in the African savannah.
Portugal's arrival in South Africa is the biggest event for Portugal and China today, and Sky TV has also been tracking and reporting all the way from Portugal's airport.
Before the Portuguese team arrived at the Bamferken sports complex, Sky TV reporter Michel interviewed Martin Baker, the training park's media manager, in advance.
Michelle: The Portuguese team is about to arrive at the station, how did you welcome them?
MARTÍN: The president of the Bamferken Sports Park will personally greet the Portuguese team, and there will be a lot of dancers who will sing and dance to greet the Portuguese team.
Michelle: What did you do to prepare for Portugal?
Martin: In February this year, the Portuguese FA decided to stay in our hotel during the World Cup, and since then we have been making all kinds of preparations. We take food safety for our athletes very seriously and with the assistance of our FA Commissioners, we provide dedicated player meals.
Security is the responsibility of FIFA, the FA and us, and we will increase the number of security personnel. There are a lot of snakes in South Africa, and many people are a little worried, but it's winter, the situation is relatively good, and we have special snake prevention measures, so the players will be safe.
Michelle: The training ground is new, can you guarantee the quality of training?
MARTIN: That's absolutely reassuring. Our stadium is an A-level stadium certified by FIFA's technical department and I can guarantee that the Portuguese team is training on the best stadium in South Africa.
Michel: Does Portugal's choice of Bamferken as the World Cup base camp bring more business opportunities to Bamferken?
Martin: The arrival of the Portuguese team has brought us more positive influence and attention, Real Banferken has attracted more attention, and many of the national teams that have not participated in the World Cup have decided to come and train off-season because we provide the most advanced training equipment and high altitude training grounds.
At this time, someone came to inform Michel and Martin that the Portuguese team was about to arrive at Bamferken Garden, and the two hurried to prepare.
At this time, outside the gate of Banferken Garden, it was already a bustle, when the Portuguese team's bus stopped at the gate of Banferken, the security guards struggled to push away the reporters who surrounded them, but they could not stop the long guns and short guns from strafing the Portuguese players.
In fact, for the safety of the Portuguese team, the journalists who were able to cover the Portuguese team up close were selected, and Rao still has close to 100 journalists.
Jonk is still the last Portuguese player to come out of the big bar, this is also Queiroz's arrangement, his arrangement is very interesting, Ronaldo is the captain of Portugal, the first to come out, he will be interviewed by the media, as the captain, Ronaldo is words and deeds are decent and cautious, while other Portuguese players try to avoid interviews, and let Jonk play the last time, it is also the appetite of hanging media reporters, Queiroz of course knows that the media wants to interview Beckham and Jonker the most, These two can share a lot of attention and distractions for the other players.
In this regard, Queiroz is not at all worried that this will cause too much pressure on Jonker, as the number one star in today's football, Jonk has to face huge pressure anytime and anywhere, coupled with Jonk's experience in the tournament, the 24-year-old star is already the most psychologically endurable in the Portuguese team.
