The first round of the European Junior Championship begins.
Poland took the lead, defeating the Swiss team and scoring three points.
The Portuguese team was blocked from victory by the heroic performance of Petr Cech, and only got a draw at zero-0.
Cech has clearly evolved.
He is much better than he was in the second half of last year.
It's becoming more and more like a wall.
Cech made 15 successful saves in this game, which shocked the game.
Quaresma complained after the game.
At least two of his must-goals were saved by Cech.
Postiga also doubted life. He once had two consecutive shots that were rejected by Cech twice.
Ronaldo is very stable. He is used to being held by Cech and shooting.
After the game, Ronaldo was a little puzzled, or frustrated.
His own progress has been rapid, and he feels that he is much better than when he played against Cech last season.
But I didn't expect Cech to grow faster than him.
This unscientific.
Is it because he is not as good as Cech?
It was the first time that Cristiano Ronaldo faced his own talent in such a real way, and I don’t know why he didn’t have this kind of pressure when he met Van Persie and Robben earlier.
Seeing Ronaldo in a psychological dilemma, Deng Kai woke him up: "Because he was born in 1982 and you were born in 1985."
Ronaldo: "What's the difference? We have also spent eight months, but my growth rate is not as big as his. I am a failure, right? I can't accept myself like this, I want to practice more!"
Deng Kai: "You are really not very smart. He is in the final stage of his development, and the growth curve at this time is the most exaggerated. One year is equal to the improvement of the previous three to five years."
"When you reach that age, you will also experience explosive progress, maybe even more exaggerated than him."
"So don't go for extra training in advance. If it hurts your body and leaves the root of the disease, the height and length of your future career will be affected."
"Follow me and learn how to maintain your health. Soak wolfberry in a thermos cup. Do you understand?"
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded helplessly: "I understand, understand, don't push me, go to sleep, we must win the game the day after tomorrow."
Ronaldo's concerns are justified.
There are only three rounds of matches in the group stage of this European Youth Championship.
Each team plays in a single match, which is different from the Champions League format.
In this case, the outcome of every game is very important.
Now the Polish team has seized the opportunity.
If the Portuguese team fails to win at the end of the game, it is very likely that they will miss the promotion early.
This is a very cruel thing.
as expected.
The next day, an assistant coach from the team proposed to restore the double midfielder style of play.
But Violante rejected it.
The Portuguese football media also began to work hard and questioned Violante's choice.
"Bola News", which had a bad relationship with Deng Kai, was particularly shocked.
"Bora": "We don't know why Violante chose Deng Kai, but his attempt obviously failed. Unable to defeat the Czech Republic, Portugal U16 has reached the cliff."
"It's time to give up on Deng Kai. He is not suitable to appear in this level of competition."
"He cannot support Viana very well. It is a wrong choice to let Meireles make way for Deng Kai."
"We admit that Deng Kai has a better overall view, but his size has become a drag. An all-round midfielder like Meireles is more suitable for this kind of game. Even Yingor should be played before Deng Kai!"
Jiang Yunzhu immediately refuted the views of Bora News: "Reporters from Bora News always do not investigate and think before speaking. Deng Kai's height has grown significantly in the past year, and he has ushered in his own growth period."
"Although his current height cannot be said to be sufficient, he is already taller than Yin Ge, another midfielder in the team. From this aspect, why is Yin Ge ahead of Deng Kai in the ranking?"
Regarding this point, Bora Newspaper obviously has no reason to give and can only choose to close the microphone.
…
June 14th.
The second round of the European Junior Championship begins.
The Czech team defeated the powerful Poland 1-0.
Cech saved the Polish team's penalty kick at the last moment, ensuring the team's victory.
He became the best player in two consecutive games.
Many clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern, etc., have expressed their concern for Cech.
The Czech team competes on home soil and has an opportunity to qualify.
The match between Portugal and Switzerland will start later.
"Hello, everyone on the stage, my name is Huang Jianxiang. Today I bring you the match between Portugal and Switzerland in the second round of the European Junior Championships."
"Portugal and the Czech Republic tied in the first round of the group stage. So they must strive to win this game."
"Their lineup today is forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, Postiga and Quaresma."
"Double attacking midfielders, Viana, Deng Kai!"
"Back midfielder, Meireles."
"Defenders, Jorge Ribeiro, José Fonte, Ricardo Duardi, José Bosingwa."
"The goalkeeper is Bruno Valais."
The Swiss team is also a second-tier team in Europe, and their youth team is not bad.
But to be honest, the Portuguese team is basically a dream lineup this time.
Quaresma taking the lead is even more suspected of being a dimensionality reduction attack.
In the first five minutes, Viana controlled the midfield and established a pattern in which Portugal dominated the attack.
In the seventh minute, Deng Kai, who was originally just a transfer station, made a sudden move and made a long pass from right to left to find Cristiano Ronaldo, who received an overseas phone call.
Cristiano Ronaldo actively fought for the top and was hit from behind by his opponent, losing his balance and falling.
This kind of action is very common in football confrontations. It is definitely a foul, but it is not malicious.
However, in normal times, most ordinary people would be injured by this kind of action.
He even fell seriously.
This also reflects the difference in the definition and acceptance of confrontation between professional players and ordinary people.
Even though there are so many glassy people in football, if anyone were a normal person, his physical fitness would still be quite impressive.
Experts who study sports medicine once said that the intensity of basketball lies in the test the players themselves put on their bodies.
Emergency stops, changes of direction, pull-ups, pulls, dunks, this is a process that destroys your own body.
The intensity of football often lies in the physical test the opponent gives you.
Those fierce physical contacts, physical confrontations, scissor kicks, destroying the center of gravity and balance at high altitudes, flying knees and kicks, kicking your ligaments and Achilles tendons, these are unintentional, but they are also evil in human nature.
Therefore, people who watch basketball will feel that football is not extreme enough, not fast enough, not high enough, and cannot make a single shot in a game. It is too uncomfortable to hold back.
People who watch football may feel that the basketball whistle is too soft. It stops blowing nearly a hundred times in a game, and it never reaches a high level intermittently. Or, if you score too many goals in a game, what sense of pleasure is there?
drop!
The referee blew the whistle immediately and gave Portugal a well-positioned free kick.
The number one free kicker and penalty kicker in this U16 team is Quaresma.
It is the privilege of a superstar and also due to his strength.
During the training, at Viana's suggestion, the team held a free kick competition. It can be seen that Viana has ideas about the right to take free kicks.
In this competition, Deng Kai was not on the list.
It won’t jump because of the human wall!
There is no way to serve the country by sticking to the ground and killing Deng Kai.
Ronaldo's free kicks are pretty good, but he didn't make it into the top three.
Viana second.
Quaresma fault number one.
His footwork is amazing.
He can even use powerful volleys, curve balls, outside insteps and other methods to attack the goal with fancy free kicks.
