Chapter 45: Gemini vs. Robinman
November 21.
Still on the exaggerated Alvalad Stadium, the fifth round of the Youth Champions League group stage officially began.
Again, it was an oversized game.
There were 35,000 fans in attendance!
There are few youth team games that have such a high level of popularity.
But Sporting Lisbon U15 was in the right place at the right time.
Superstar Chris, midfielder Kaiser Dunkai with professional-level passing ability, a wave of winning streaks to restore morale, the Andoa du ball controversy, and the European competition...... These elements almost brought together 10,000 spectators for this game!
Where did the remaining 25,000 come from?
When the usual $100 ticket price is suddenly reduced to $5, and it's still going to the stadium, who can refuse such a travel plan?
Keep in mind that the price of a visit to Alvalad is $10!
Tickets for the tournament are even cheaper than tickets for visits.
It's a fool not to come and see!
This is also the hidden cost that Sporting Lisbon has invested in promoting Ronaldo.
Only in this way, when the team says that Ronaldo is the next Figo, the next Simao, and the next Quaresma, the fans and other clubs will know and believe that Ronaldo will also have that prestige base.
Otherwise, if you push a cat or dog out at random, who will take care of you?
Marketing is a very mature thing in Europe, one by one.
At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo showed his extremely strong desire to attack.
In just fifteen minutes, he created three shots and two set-pieces.
If it weren't for Lady Luck for her period today, it would have been no problem to score a goal in those five chances.
This state also made Hugo in the stands a little embarrassed.
Especially when his good friends are also around.
"Thankfully", Feyenoord's youth team is of a good standard.
This year, the Eredivisie production is much louder than the Portuguese Super Product.
Portugal's three major black shops are famous, but they are not enough compared to the three major black shops in the Eredivisie.
And Feyenoord's ace Van Persie, although he has just joined the echelon this year, his strength has already exceeded the U15 level.
In the 29th minute, Van Persie broke the deadlock with a volley from the central defender of Sporting Lisbon in the penalty area.
1 to 0!
Super goalscorer Robin van Persie soars all the way up the scorer charts.
"Robinman of the Netherlands has conquered the Alvalad Stadium in Lisbon! The home fans were silent! ”
"Oh! Van Persie, who competes with Fernando Torres, another top scorer in Atletico Madrid's youth team, for the Golden Boot, is clearly more than one step better than the other strikers in this Youth Champions League! ”
"Chris and Turin's Quagliarella and Groningen's Robben are also good among their peers, but due to the overall strength of the team, their performance is still weaker than those two."
The commentators had to interrupt before they could even give the home fans a full background on Van Persie and Torres.
Less than three minutes after that goal, Van Persie scored twice with his miraculous volley from outside the penalty area.
Two to zero!
Feyenoord, both in terms of overall strength and forward strength, is much stronger than Sporting Lisbon's side!
This also led to an eruption of cheers for Van Persie in the stands, which quickly overshadowed the home fans.
Deng Kai looked at the tourists in the stands and had to say...... Tourists and fans are still different.
Fans have their own home team and rarely defect.
And tourists ...... As long as it is a goal, they can applaud and cheer, regardless of who scores.
Ronaldo's face is extremely ugly.
He clearly felt like he was being beaten down by Van Persie.
He didn't like it.
In the stands, however, Hugo and his friends were hugging and celebrating.
They got the bet right!
They're going to make blood this time!
As long as Feyenoord wins, and both teams score less than or equal to three goals at the same time.
They can get rich in an instant!
Hugo couldn't be happier: "It seems that Maksa still had some ideas before. This is also normal, so I said that we are not very safe to buy one ball, and three balls are the most stable. ”
"Now that we've lost two goals, Maksa will definitely shrink the team in order not to make it too ugly. Facing a shrinking Sporting Lisbon, it will not be so easy for Feyenoord to score. ”
"Two to zero, three to zero, two to one, that's basically it."
"Brothers! Harvest rice, harvest rice! ”
They were even dancing excitedly.
However, Hugo is wearing Ronaldo's jersey.
This once let the big screen capture him.
seems to be using the language of the camera to tell the fans that even Ronaldo's fans have been beaten and surrendered, what are you still insisting on?
Cheers to Feyenoord and Van Persie!
When Hugo found himself on the big screen, he immediately restrained his celebration.
Because he found Ronaldo watching the big screen.
He didn't betray his brother, he was just too happy because he made too much money.
He vowed that after the game, he would buy his brother the best training gear, Figo-endorsed sneakers, and Pep Guardiola's autographed football.
These things are expensive, but as long as Hugo is rich, he will never be stingy with his brother.
Among them, the autographed things of the stars are the most difficult to get together, but thank God, there seems to be a lot of Pep Guardiola's autographed football leaking out of Lisbon recently!
……
However, a minute before the break, Hugo was worried.
Because Sporting Lisbon's midfielder Deng Kai was obviously looking at Ronaldo, but he didn't look at the pass and gave the football to the feet of his teammates on the right.
Sporting Lisbon crosses from the right winger.
Under the pull of Cristiano Ronaldo and Deng Kai in front, the Sporting Lisbon center forward was unmarked, jumped up and smashed the football into the door of Feyenoord with a header.
One to two!
Sporting Lisbon pulled one back.
"Three balls! No more goals can be scored in the future! Otherwise, we won't be able to make a lot of money! ”
Hugo's friend reminded him.
Hugo forced a smile: "It's okay, at least it won't be lost." ”
"Unless Sporting Lisbon wins, and both sides score more than six goals combined, we can all earn some!"
The friend also nodded under Hugo's comfort.
Also.
As long as Sporting Lisbon loses, earn more and earn less, and earn as much as you want.
What's more, it is obviously impossible for the two sides to score more than six goals in total.
Sporting Lisbon have proven that they are not a sieve, they still have a few brushes.
In the second half, the defensive intensity and focus of both sides must definitely be raised.
It doesn't matter if he is Van Persie or Cristiano Ronaldo, he can't score.
Half-time returns.
Both sides continued to play.
In the fiftieth minute, Deng Kai once again did not look at the pass when he held the ball in the front court.
He was obviously looking intently at the defenders, but suddenly he got up and crossed into the box.
And Ronaldo, who had swam near the ribs before, accelerated in an anti-offside position, directly penetrated Feyenoord's entire defense and rushed into the big penalty area.
In the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Ronaldo also kept shooting, and still made a calm and difficult shot to send the football into the net.
Two to two!
Sporting Lisbon made a late effort to equalize!
Let some du dogs who want to make a lot of money have no chance to make a big profit.
"This damn bastard! I want to break his dog's leg! Hugo's friend angrily cursed Ronaldo.
Hugo frowned.
Although you can't make a big profit, can't you still make a small profit?
Why are you cursing my brother like that?
However, considering the friendship, Hugo did not have a seizure.
The game continues.
