The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Wednesday, a little bit late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

"Tony, the purpose of our visit to Portugal this time is to observe the players participating in the European Cup, right?" Karin, who was sunbathing on Miramar Beach, seven miles south of Porto, said quite Some unsightly words, "Then, instead of going to the training grounds of various national teams, we go here for fun. Is it really appropriate to do so?"

Unlike Zhuang Mingge, who always put on the attitude of throwing his hands away as a shopkeeper, Karin and Groz Jr. both have a strong sense of professionalism, and they are both standard templates of strong women in terms of ability.Otherwise, even if Zhuang Mingge had the gold finger of a traveler, it would be impossible for Zhuang Mingge to build such a large family business in just a few years.

"Karin, take it easy, just enjoy this vacation, don't always focus on work, it will be too tiring~ After all, there are still five full days before the opening ceremony, and the opening ceremony It's held in Porto, so we don't need to be so anxious." Zhuang Mingge took a sip of Porto's local wine and said comfortably, "Furthermore, even if we go to the training grounds of the national teams to inquire about news, I'm afraid they will You won't let us in, will you?"

"Then, that, boss..." At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo also said with an uncomfortable face, "Is it inappropriate for me to appear here? If the media finds out, I guess I will have to pay attention the next day." Being regarded as a negative example makes the headlines of the newspaper. After all, now everyone is nervously preparing for the upcoming European Cup, and I am here to enjoy it. It is a bit unreasonable..."

Hearing what Ronaldo said, Karin and Groz Jr. looked at him quite appreciatively.Obviously, they are quite satisfied with the self-discipline and motivation shown by Ronaldo.

"Che, it's not like you didn't get the consent of that old stubborn Scolari when you came out this time. Even if something happens, he will take care of it. What are you afraid of here?" Zhuang Mingge curled his lips, contrary to Karin and little Groz , he was very dissatisfied with Ronaldo's cautiousness, "Besides, you have not become the main force in Scolari's mind. He still regards the golden generation of players as treasures. So he occasionally misses a day of training It’s okay, you won’t be in the starting lineup anyway, and you might end up sitting on the bench for nine or 10 minutes.”

"..." Ronaldo was hit hard by Zhuang Mingge's words, and his expression became heavy, "Boss, although I know what you said is the truth, can you consider my feelings? It would be too hurtful to be so blunt..."

Although Cristiano Ronaldo in this life joined Fiorentina, the top club in Europe, early on, and made a name for himself earlier than in his previous life, Scolari did not take it as the head coach of the Portuguese national team. Fuzheng is the main force, but firmly trusts the combination of Figo and Simão. Quaresma and Ronaldo, the rising stars of Portuguese football, cannot grab the main position from the two.

That's why Zhuang Mingge commented on Scolari that way before. In his eyes, after leading Brazil to win the World Cup, Big Phil became conservative and not enterprising. He has always been eating his own money.Therefore, in his previous life, after he resigned from the post of coach of the Portuguese national team, he got worse and worse, and in the end he could only go to the Chinese Super League to mess around.

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

When the immediate boss spoke, Scolari could only obediently obey the order no matter how reluctant he was, and gave Ronaldo a day off.Of course, the Brazilian coach still made a note of Ronaldo in his heart, preparing to settle accounts after the autumn.

Now here, by the way, the final ownership of the 03-04 season Champions Cup. On the evening of May 5, at the Schalke Stadium, Chelsea and Monaco, which reached the Champions League final for the first time in history, launched a fierce battle on this venue.

Although these two teams are far inferior to Fiorentina and AC Milan in terms of reputation, the game was unexpectedly exciting and intense, and it was not boring at all.This is because after the training of the two head coaches Wenger and Spalletti, Monaco, which is now in the hands of Deschamps, is full of offensive spirituality. In contrast, the defensive end is naturally not very reliable.

Compared with Monaco, which focuses on offense and light defense, Chelsea coached by Ranieri is a completely defensive team.Therefore, when these two teams collide, it may be quite difficult for the game to be boring.

In the end, Chelsea, with Zola, Hasselbaink, Desailly and many other experienced veterans, was superior and had the last laugh in this Champions League final.The Blues first relied on a very Italian-style reinforced concrete defense to prevent Monaco's proud offensive firepower, and then under the premise of a solid defense, they used the striker line composed of Zola and Hasselbaink and Glenn Xia He made a big fuss about his speed, thus defeating Monaco led by Didier Deschamps [-]-[-], and won the first Champions Cup in the club's history!

In the post-match selection, Zola, who contributed one goal and one assist in the game, was rightly named the best player of the game.The Chelsea legend gave Chelsea his best and last gift with what could be called a perfect curtain call.The reason why it is said to be the last gift is because Zola has decided to return to his roots this summer and play for his hometown team Cagliari.

Well, now without further ado, let us turn our attention back to the upcoming European Cup. On June 6, the No.12 European Football Championship officially started at the Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal.The two sides of the game are the host Portugal, which occupies a geographical advantage, and the Greek team led by Otto the Great Rehhagel.

Since Portugal has an absolute upper hand in terms of book strength, and it is playing at home, no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility that the host will miss in the opening game.The only question is, how many goals will the Portuguese team led by the golden generation win against Greece in this game...

However, the final score was [-]-[-]. The host Portugal suffered a shocking defeat to the underdog Greece in the opening game, breaking out the first big upset in this European Cup!

With the loss of Portugal's first battle, a realistic version of the myth once again began to be staged on the Iberian Peninsula.
