Last November, the World Cup European qualifying play-offs, France vs. Ireland. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The winner of this game will march into South Africa, which is the last chance. In the end, the French team relied on Henry's handball assist to score and eliminate Ireland, setting off a heated discussion in international football. Henry later admitted that he had handballed, but said he was not the referee and put all the blame on the referee on duty.

It was a handball assist and a penalty this time, and after the game, even the French newspaper Les Les T Les ”

The Irish media even sneered, saying, "Without the help of the referee, the French thief is nothing!" ”

Back at the Royal Gardens in Bamferken, the most talked about was not South Africa's 1:1 match, nor France's 0:0 Uruguay game, but the hum of the 'Ula group' that had put people's nerves to the test.

The news came from the match between France and Uruguay, although there was no African team in this game, but there were still a lot of African fans in the stands, and the noise of 'Ula group' still existed.

Uruguayan striker Forlan said after the game that the noise of 'Uruguayan group' made him distract when shooting.

"It should be recommended to FIFA that the 'Ula group' be banned on the field." Veloso complained.

"Probably unlikely." Jonk shook his head, "I can't figure out if Blatter would say it's African." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this headache, I think it must be a headache more than we do." Cristiano Ronaldo said.

Queiroz did have a real headache, and in the opening game, he felt the power of the 'Ula group' on the spot, even in the stands, he could feel how harsh the sound of this horn was, not to mention the players who were already nervous on the field.

He suddenly realised that the first opponent Portugal would face at the World Cup was not the first opponent in the group stage, the United States. It's about how to make the players play at a normal level under the interference of the 'Ula group'.

Queiroz noticed that Mexico did not play at their normal level in the opening game, and the Mexican coach complained after the game that the 'Ulla group' made it impossible for the Mexican players to play at ease.

Right now. Except for African teams that may be able to adapt to the noise of 'Ula', European and American teams have expressed their intolerability with 'Ula', and for Portugal, if the Portuguese team can adapt better to play under the influence of 'Ula', it will be ahead of other teams. After all, if Portugal wants to win the championship, the main opponents are also from Europe and the United States, and African teams can only disrupt the situation at most.

Therefore, Queiroz really treats the 'Ula group' as a big deal.

"The North Korean team's 23 squad for the South African World Cup was found to be a problem by the South African World Cup Organizing Committee today, they did not report 3 goalkeepers in accordance with FIFA regulations, and in the goalkeeper position they reported Lee Myung Kook, Kim Myung Gil and Kim Myung Won 3 people, of which Kim Myung Won is a striker and not a goalkeeper, North Korean coach Kim Jong-hoon hopes to strengthen the team's offensive strength in this way.

However, this morning, FIFA officially informed the North Korean team. Their approach has violated FIFA regulations, and the "third goalkeeper" Kim Myung-won can only play as a goalkeeper in this World Cup, and cannot appear in the forward position. ”

Listening to the news, Jonk laughed and laughed, and the North Korean team was too capable of tossing, and actually thought of such a way to try to get by.

"It's so boring to stay in a hotel all day." Nani grumbled from the side.

It is no wonder that he complained that Portugal's security measures are strict, because the Portuguese team and the United States team are threatened, and the Portuguese team rules. If the players go out, they not only need to ask the manager Queiroz for leave, but also need to be accompanied by bodyguards.

Nani expressed dissatisfaction at the time, and was scolded by Ronaldo. "Do you want to be robbed or kidnapped?" I was silent.

In order to avoid trouble, they simply rarely went out, and Mereles simply called his wife and told the family to stay at home in Portugal and not come to South Africa.

It was only when Jonk arrived in South Africa that he found out that the security here was really bad, and the last time the Portuguese bus passed through a street. A gunshot rang out, which made the military police in charge of security feel like they were facing a great enemy, and it was later learned that a robbery had taken place not far away.

So, Jonk simply calls Nana and asks her to cancel her plans to come to South Africa, fearing for his lover's safety.

Cristiano Ronaldo called Jonker through a closed-circuit system, and Jonk came to the captain's room to watch the video of the match Queiroz had given them - a video of the USA's matches in the CONCACAF qualifiers and last year's Confederations Cup.

For Jonker, the most impressive memory of the U.S. team in his memory is the U.S. team in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, although the World Cup was destroyed by the Koreans, but it is undeniable that the U.S. team is full of dark horses. In particular, the United States team surprised everyone by beating Portugal with Rui Costa and Figo 4:2 in the first game of the group stage, and that game was also considered to have laid a hidden danger for Portugal to be eliminated.

At the moment, looking at the faces of the American team, Jonker can only recognise a few players who have played in the Premier League, such as Fulham's goalscorer Dempsey, and of course, Jonk is very familiar with Everton's goalkeeper Howard, the American goalkeeper who used to play for Manchester United.

Then there's AC Milan defender Oneu, and Edu, who even made a name for himself before Jonker, the former American midfielder who now plays for Scotland's Glasgow Rangers.

The U.S. team is based on the same team from last year's Confederations Cup, where the U.S. team surprised the world. They made it all the way to the final of the Confederations Cup. In the final, the United States team led Brazil 2-0 in the first half, which is also a remarkable result.

Before coming to South Africa, the head coach of the U.S. team, Blandley, praised the top opponent of the group stage, Portugal, saying that Portugal is the European champion, a well-deserved world powerhouse, and the favorite to win the World Cup. Portugal, who have the attacking duo of Jonk and Nani, are considered to be the most attacking in the round of 32 of the entire World Cup, with Portugal topping the group, while the United States will compete with Slovenia and Algeria for second place.

But. Neither Jonk nor Ronaldo will pay attention to the mist of the opposing coach, especially after it seems that after the game video of the American team, Jonk is even more wary of this opponent that he did not pay much attention to before.

Jonk smacked his lips: "This game." It's a little bit more difficult than I thought it would be, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem for us to win. "Although Jonker is not so contemptuous of Portugal, he is still very confident of winning this game.

"Nope. I don't think you're paying enough attention. Ronaldo said.

"The U.S. team has always been a very reasonable age team, this team is very passionate, and it is difficult to deal with." C Ronaldo said solemnly.

Jonk noticed that Ronaldo was using the word 'passionate'.

C Ronaldo nodded: "Bradley's team, known as can't run, Donovan, Beasley and Cherundolo are all participating in the World Cup for the third time, and they are also the most trustworthy American axis of Bradley, here I want to say in particular is Donovan, he is the best technical in the American team." ”

Jonk interrupted him with a smile: "Is the technique good?" Better than me! ”

Ronaldo glanced at him angrily: "This game must not be taken lightly." As he spoke, he glanced at Jonker again and again, "You know, what is the reason why Portugal has been underperforming in the World Cup?" ”

Jonk just wanted to say that the offense couldn't work. stopped this again, although Portugal did not have him before, but there were Figo, Rui Costa and others back then, and it was also a world-class offensive line.

"It's a fighting spirit! The Premier League is too profitable. The fighting spirit of the American team is much stronger than that of Portugal! Speaking of this, Ronaldo sighed and was reluctant to say more.

Jonk kind of understands what Ronaldo means, Portugal's stars are basically from major major leagues, which shows what mainstream league is the most profitable, and many players are not so desperate in the World Cup. They are afraid of getting hurt, of affecting their position at the club, of suffering huge financial losses.

"You're the most passionate guy I've ever met, the most contagious guy I've ever seen." Cristiano Ronaldo said. 'You proved it at the Euros two years ago.

Jonk scratched his head embarrassedly: "I just crave the championship and hate to lose!" ”

Ronaldo also smiled, "Me too." ”

On the afternoon of June 12, on the training ground of the Portuguese team.

This is closed training, and at first everyone was quite strange about closed training. However, when everyone saw the staff of the Bamfordken Royal Gardens coming with a loud speaker, the strangeness turned into confusion and surprise.

"What's that?" Nani poked Jonker.

"Audio." Jonk said.

Nani rolled her eyes, "Of course I know, I'm asking you what these things are for?" ”

Jonk shrugged, meaning you ask me, I ask who to go?

Then, during the group match, the mystery was revealed.

As soon as the intra-team match of the Portuguese team began, the players heard the terrifying 'familiar' sound - the hum of 'Ullah'!

"Hell! This is coming out of that stereo. Nani screamed, at this time, Jonk had just passed him a ball, Nani's mind was full of annoying 'Ula group' sounds, a distraction, did not stop the ball well, can only catch up with Bruno before the defense, hurriedly get up, this shot is naturally high.

Queiroz on the sidelines frowned and shouted dissatisfiedly at Nani, "Boy, what are you doing?!" ”

Nani hung his head and shouted at Queiroz, bowing his head to continue the game.

In the ensuing game, the Portuguese players were obviously affected by the interference of the super-large decibel 'Ula group' played by the stereo, and many problems were exposed in training.

This made Queiroz very dissatisfied, he didn't say anything, but threw the training to the assistant coach, the assistant coach was originally dissatisfied with Queiroz's use of the stereo to play the sound of 'Ulla group' to train Portuguese players, thinking that it was nonsense, but at this moment, seeing the performance of the Portuguese team, he also understood Queiroz's intentions, he scolded loudly, pointing out the mistakes of the Portuguese team.

Portugal finally played a decent attack.

Veloso made a quick breakthrough on the right side, Costa tried very hard to chase back, Veloso made a quick stop, let go of Costa's interception, and got up with his right foot-

Cross!

Meireles won a header at the front post, and instead of heading it directly, he swung the ball to the left flank, where Ferreira, who chested it on, and hoisted it into the box.

Jonker, who got rid of Bruno's interference, suddenly stepped forward and appeared at the landing point of the ball, he pulled his bow and arrow, did not stop the ball, and directly met the ball with a volley!

The ball drilled into the goal that Eduardo was guarding.

The coaching staff of the Portuguese team on the sidelines erupted in cheers and applause.

It was the most exciting attacking combination of the Portuguese team in training, and the whole attack was very fluid, and it was not affected by the sound of 'Ula group'.

Queiroz also stood up and applauded the attack from the sidelines, and that's what he wanted to do, to get the players used to the nasty sound of 'Ulla', and in the game, to be able to reduce that effect. By doing so, Portugal is ahead of the rest of the powerhouses.

After training, when the players were soaking in the pool, they all seemed to collapse.

"Hoohoo, the whole world has finally quieted down." Nani let out a long sigh of relief, "I thought I was being kidnapped by aliens. ”

Jonk looked at Nani and frowned, he felt the need to remind Nani.

"Boy, you're doing badly today."

"It's not all that damn stereo, who would have thought the head would do such a trick." Nani complained.

"Why did the boss do that?" Jonk asked Nani with a smile.

"Of course, to get us used to playing in that damn voice."

"And how are you doing?" Jonk stared at Nani.

Nani was about to say something, but she was silent. After a while, he found Jonker, who had closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, "Jonker, do you think the boss will be dissatisfied with me?" ”

"What do you say?" Jonk snorted, looking at Nani's annoyed look, he couldn't help but laugh. He knew that as long as Nani realized the importance of this matter, he would go all out, and Jonk was still familiar with his forward partner.

At noon, the whole Portuguese team watched the third match of the World Cup, the match between South Korea and Greece, but it was not all the players who watched it together, but asked the players to watch the game in their respective rooms.

In the end, in this game, the South Korean team unexpectedly won the Greek team 2:0.

Jonk saw the ecstatic expressions of the Korean players after the victory, and there was also a silence, the Korean team has really grown up now, this team can already compete with the second-rate teams in Europe, and what about the Chinese team?

After the lunch break, Queiroz informed everyone of the gathering via a CCTV system. Ten minutes later, the entire Portuguese squad was waiting for their head coach in the conference room. (To be continued.) )
