Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 180
On May 5, the Premier League Newcastle United arrived in Lisbon, and the countdown to the Europa League final entered.

At this time, the major leagues of the Europa League have basically come to an end. Apart from taking stock of the gains and losses of the season, the clubs are most concerned about the last two major games, namely the Europa League final on May 5 and the 18 In the UEFA Champions League final on March 5, AC Milan will face Liverpool.

In the middle of May, no one in the world knows that the Red Army Liverpool will achieve the most soul-stirring comeback in football history. They trailed AC Milan 0:3, chased 3 goals in a row, tied their opponents, and in the final Winning the penalty shootout made the name of the Red Army resound all over the world. Although they only ranked fifth in the league this year, the praise they received was no less than that of Mourinho's Chelsea, who won the Premier League championship.

Europa League final, Benfica Trident PK Alan Shearer!

You read that right, even though the Portuguese media tried their best to promote the strength of Benfica this season, in the eyes of mainstream European media, Alan Shearer alone is worth the three most important stars of Benfica.

This is very similar to the Dutch Three Musketeers teaming up to block Maradona in Italy more than ten years ago. One person is not enough, three must be played!

The protagonists of the final came to the scene, which of course immediately caused a sensation. Newcastle United coaches Graeme Souness and Alan Shearer attended the press conference. The two of them really couldn't tell who would lead whom.

The 52-year-old Scot Graeme Souness was once a coach with a brilliant record. He won the Scottish Premier League three times, led Liverpool to the FA Cup, and led Blackburn to the League Cup. However, he His coaching career has not been smooth, first he fell out with the Liverpool club, and later he has coached many teams, including a short experience in Benfica.

In England, he has coached Southampton, Blackburn, Newcastle United, just like following in the footsteps of Alan Shearer...

Graeme Souness: "Of course I'm confident going into the final because we've got Allan! You can ask any centre-back and they're sure they don't like Shearer's style and make the opposition the least The most troublesome thing is often the most effective, he plays like a real man!"

Alan Shearer: "I am no longer young. I have won enough honors. It is a gift from God. I should be grateful. However, I have not helped my team win the European championship. This time, I Don’t want to leave Lisbon empty-handed.”

Compared with Newcastle United's head coach and team captain who made a high-profile statement that they want to win the championship, Benfica is much more low-key.

In this regard, Trapattoni, who was on the training ground, joked with the players.

"Don't care what the Newcastle people say, in fact, you only need to think about it, they are now cornered, and we are taking firm steps to chase the Double, and you can know which side has the psychological advantage. The last two games , that is to say, after five days, maybe we are the double champions! Therefore, only we are qualified to have pride, we are the strongest Benfica team in history!"

In Ronando's words: A dog that bites does not bark!
Graeme Souness and Alan Shearer are at the end of their ropes. Apart from the Europa League championship, they have nothing else.

As the coach, Graeme Souness, he brought Newcastle United into a team that was almost relegated. Even if he led the team to win the Europa League, it is estimated that he would be in danger of being dismissed. A coach who has been doing nothing in the league will not be allowed to continue to be in charge.

What about Alan Shearer?He is 35 years old, and his age is not forgiving. After this season, can he still gallop on the court?

So, everyone in the Newcastle United team is now hanging by the honor of the Europa League champion. If there is no such champion to tempt them, people's hearts will be scattered.

Benfica is different. Even if they lose the Europa League and the league in the end, it can be called a successful season. All the players have a bright future waiting for them... Oh!Except for individual players, such as Dieberson Giovanni, it is estimated that they will be kicked out in more than a month.

Compared with Newcastle United, the mentality of Benfica players is more relaxed.

As the head coach Trapattoni said, everyone should treat this final with a normal mind and play it as an ordinary league...

Of course, unlike the Benfica players who became calm under the arrangement of Trapattoni, neither the Benfica club nor the fans can calm down!
Bear the brunt of the "Goodman Curse" that has plagued Benfica for 43 years.

After Bella Goodman issued that vicious oath, Benfica has reached the final of the European League 6 times, including 5 Champions League and 1 Europa League, but all lost without exception, especially in 1990 0:1 Losing to Inter Milan, and losing 1983:1 to Anderlecht in Belgium in 2 is the most regrettable. In these two finals, Benfica lost inexplicably. It was not because of the comparison of strengths, but because of themselves. .

After 15 years, Benfica reached the final again. The most important word in the hearts of Benfica fans is "Goodman", but no one dared to take the initiative to mention this word.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. King Eusebio of Benfica took the initiative to mention this frightening word this time.

"We are all saddened by the death of the esteemed Mr Goodman in 1981. World football has lost an outstanding coach. 22 years ago, on the eve of our war with Anderlecht, I went to Bella Goodman's grave, I went there again 15 years ago. However, the result disappointed us all."

"Is it because my prayers are not devout enough? Is that mistake really going to make us bear the burden for 100 years?"

"Today, I asked myself, Fari Allah, do you want to pray this time? I thought about it for a long time, and finally, I gave my answer! No! This time, I will not pray to anyone again! I remember a boy in the team once said to me that because he has the heart of a champion, he can score goals! He can overcome any difficulty!"

"So! I believe in the lads, only we can save Benfica! We must overcome ourselves to hold victory in our hands!"

Everyone knows that the "boy" in Eusebio's mouth refers to Ronando, the young man who took the initiative to stand up every time Benfica encountered a crisis.

Bella Goodman is a genius, but this genius eventually became the resistance of Benfica.

Eusebio was a genius, however, Eusebio was also involved in the conflict between the club and Bella Goodman that year, which made his brilliance unable to protect Benfica.

Now, Ronando is also a genius, maybe only a genius can defeat a genius and save Benfica!
Looking at Benfica's 6 failures to hit the European championship, most of the time, it was not that Benfica played badly, but that they were unable to hit the ball into the opponent's goal in the end, resulting in consistent losses and losing the game.

Isn't it just Ronando who can help the team score goals in the most difficult time?Newcastle United has Alan Shearer who can score goals, and Benfica also has Ronaldo who can score goals. Moreover, Benfica has home court advantage!Benfica also has ace players like Simao and Nuno Gomez!

UEFA President Renate Johansen said he would visit the Alvalade Stadium in person!
Important members of the British royal family, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and the Countess and Countess of St. Andrew came to the stadium in person!
Tens of thousands of fans from various European countries flocked to Lisbon!

There are countless reporters, scouts, and people from the football industry from major leagues. There are also many stars from the entertainment industry and sports circles. Everyone knows that football is the most important sport in Europe. Here, there is no Any other sport can have the appeal of football, and the annual Europa League final is the second only to the Champions League final, and it is also the most eye-catching game. On such occasions, there are too many people who want to show their faces. many……

Ronaldo has no way of knowing whether Ferguson has come to Lisbon, but he does know that another well-known Premier League coach has come.

It was a coach that complicated Ronando's emotions.

On the one hand, this person is definitely a genius and a great player in today's football world, and he is also a compatriot with Ronaldo. If Ronaldo can flourish in Manchester United in the future, he will share the highest honor in Portuguese football with this person sooner or later.
On the other hand, because Ronando is not optimistic about Chelsea, or unwilling to go to the muddy waters of the blue team Chelsea, he is destined to become an enemy with this person, because, judging from the character's behavior style, as long as you are good enough, you can also It just so happens that they are not in the same camp as him.You will definitely be attacked by him. In the face of his attack, you must either fight or surrender. There is no third way to go.

The 42-year-old Jose Mourinho is full of spirits. He has just returned to Lisbon, and almost everyone knows that he is back.

"There is still half a month until Portugal's National Day, and I am very happy to learn that I will be awarded the Grand Cross of Portugal by President Sampaio himself on that day. This season, my team won the first English medal in 50 years. Top-flight champions and first Premier League champions, I'm very happy with the result."

"The Portuguese club has won the Champions League four times in history, but our national team has never been so brilliant. This is a huge loss."

"For me, the only irresistible thought is to become the head coach of the Portugal team. I am delighted to see that there are so many good players in Portugal, and we have the ability to challenge for the highest honor. At the right time, I would like to be the coach of Portugal... well, four years, one European Cup, one World Cup."

wow cool!Isn't Mourinho making trouble on purpose?
He did a good job at Chelsea, and Scolari also did a good job as the coach of the Portuguese national team. They did not interfere with each other. When he made such a statement, the media was happy, but all the players scratched their heads.

Once these players are pressed by the media for their opinions on Mourinho's speech, how should they answer?
Supporting Mourinho will undoubtedly offend Scolari to the death and oppose Mourinho?That's even more risky. With this guy's name, it's really not difficult to come back to take charge of the national team. Now that you oppose him, do you still want to represent the national team in the future?
