Speaking of Jadel and the Brazilian national team, this year has been a happy year for Jadel.

At the beginning of the year, he was called up to the Brazilian national team.

However, Jadel also received a notice from the Portuguese Football Federation.

Portugal intends to naturalize Jadel and let him hit next year's World Cup in South Korea and Japan with Portugal's golden generation.

Jadel didn't think for a second and decisively rejected the Portuguese Football Federation.

And he spoke about it in a media interview, expressing his disdain for the Portuguese team in his words.

One thing to say, if you want to compare the Portuguese team with the Brazilian team, then you will indeed choose Brazil with your eyes closed.

But if you're playing in Portugal, it's always okay to be a little more polite, right?

However, Jardel's words were not polite, and the kind of contempt and ridicule made the Portuguese fans miserable.

Otherwise, why is Deco, not Jadel, the most popular player in the Porto team in the second half of this year?

Now that they have sent an invitation to Jadel, the Portuguese Football Federation has simply naturalized and communicated with several other outstanding players.

Including Deco et al.

Most of them rejected the naturalization of the Portuguese Football Federation, but the words were more euphemistic.

Deco says he hopes to wait for next year's World Cup.

He continued to shine last year, this year, and if he makes a difference in the Champions League with Porto next year, there is no reason why the Brazilian national team should not call him up.

Again, Brazil is expected to, indeed, be without Portugal.

The Portuguese Football Federation has said that Deco's idea is receptive, and their real naturalization goal is not next year's World Cup, but the 2004 European Championship hosted by Portugal.

They were very thoughtful about that European Championship.

The golden generation is at its peak, and with some naturalized top players, it will definitely give Portuguese fans a satisfactory answer.

However, it is precisely because of the expectation that the two major tournaments next year and 04 years will be overlooked, and the Portuguese Football Federation's call-up last year and this year is dominated by players in their playing years, and young players are not given too many opportunities.

Even if it is given, the effect is not very good.

In addition, Ronaldo and Deng Kai, who have risen this year, are too young, whether it is the Portuguese Football Association or Portuguese fans, they have never considered them in the immediate selection of candidates for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

The most daring and die-hard fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Deng Kai also believe that it is already good to be selected in Portugal's European Championship squad in 04. If you can get a chance to play and be an important rotation, of course that's better.

……

Portugal National Stadium, May 18.

The final of the Portuguese Cup will be played today.

The expressions of the players on both sides were quite serious.

Four days ago, neither side was very satisfied.

Porto felt they didn't play well.

Sporting Lisbon, who won the game, thought that they were too poor in fitness at the time and suffered a loss, otherwise they should have won more.

Both sides were in good form today and they can finally play well.

But the game wasn't as exciting as they thought it would.

As a result of greater understanding and prudence, both sides have made targeted arrangements for each other today.

Deco in Porto is severely restricted.

Sporting Lisbon's Deng Kai also had no chance to play.

While other players can create chances, there is a clear gap between the quality of the ball given and the two of them.

This led to the fact that strikers such as Jadel and Ronaldo did not play very well.

Cristiano Ronaldo, for Sporting Lisbon, was very active today, he worked extra hard in all the games with Jardel, and did not give up any shots to his teammates.

In the first half, Jadel had a total of four shots on goal and two shots on target.

One of them hit the post and almost finished the goal.

On the other side, Ronaldo did not let too much, stopping the ball too much once and missing a single knife.

But in turn, it managed to score a penalty.

Facing the champions, Quaresma couldn't withstand the pressure, kicking off a penalty and missing the chance to give Sporting Lisbon the lead.

Throughout the first half, the two sides played hot, threatening the attack, but they were always missing something.

In the second half, Yibian fought again.

Familiar with Porto's blockade, Deng Kai began to exert his power, and both long-range shots were on target.

One was saved by the goalkeeper and one was blocked out of bounds by the Porto centre-back.

As it turns out, Deco is not in vain.

In the second half, Deco also adapted to Sporting Lisbon's targeting and began to be frequently involved in threatening attacks.

He even got a chance to open the net.

At least it looks like an empty door.

But in fact, the football is very spinning and fast after Terry's toe rubbing, and the ball speed is also very fast, and it is very difficult to push.

Deco pushed in front of the goal, causing the fans of Sporting Lisbon to burst into laughter.

It even hurt morale a little.

Soon after, though, Deco made a comeback, taking the ball into the box with a brilliant one-on-two.

But this time Deco was too perfectionist, playing too finely, trying to give the ball to a completely empty Jadel when there were conditions to shoot.

As a result, Pepe's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he successfully tackled and blocked in the penalty area, ruining this great opportunity.

Jadel, Deco, Pepe, these three people can be made into a documentary, called "BJ in New York" ahh......h It should be "Brazilians in Portugal"!

The three were born in 1973, 1977 and 1983 respectively, representing three generations of the old, middle and young people.

Jadel grew up in Brazil, and only entered Portugal after his career improved, and he is very attached to Brazil, even if the Portuguese Football Federation invites him many times, he must be determined to play for Brazil.

Outcome...... In the future, most fans will not know this name, let alone know that Jardel in this period is even qualified to be Ronaldo's replacement in the national team.

Deco also grew up in Brazil, but came to Portugal earlier and is more tolerant of ideas, and is already a choice between Portugal and Brazil. And later his fame and achievements also proved the correctness of his choice.

Joining Portugal and reaching the final of Euro 2004 in Portugal with the Golden Generation was one of the highlights of his career.

The youngest, Pepe, arrived earlier in the Portuguese league and has a more optimistic view of playing for Portugal.

And he is also the longest-running, most accomplished and most well-known player among the three Brazilians.

……

The 88th minute of the game.

Quaresma broke through on the right with the ball, and after successfully going down the bottom, he shook his kick and returned the ball in the inverted triangle.

Deng Kai, near the right side of the penalty area, picked up the ball and played a super fast pass, accelerating and accelerating again.

Ibrahimovic, who played the whole game today, was behind the two centre-backs, but he had a premonition of Deng Kai's pass and was ready to sprint ahead of time.

As the ball flew in mid-air, Ibrahimovic ran from behind the two centre-backs and leaped into action.

Although because of the interference of the other party, he did not jump high.

But don't forget, he himself is 1.95 meters tall.

The vertical jump height of most ordinary people is no more than 20 centimeters, and basically jumping with all their strength is the height of Eevee, not to mention that Eevee also jumped a little.

Bang!

Ibrahimovic heads home.

Faced with such a close-range and sudden header, the Porto goalkeeper was helpless.

The score changes, 1-0!

In the end, with Ibrahimovic's goal, Sporting Lisbon beat Porto for the second time in four days.

With their last victory, they regained the top spot in the Portuguese Super League standings, and this time they won the Portuguese Cup!
