Chapter 735: Unfavorable Years, Unfavorable Things
"Viana, Nuno Gomez, and Quaresma's substitutes are ineffective, and many people express their dissatisfaction with black faces!"
"The best fake team in Europe! Who else is a Portuguese player now?"
"The Spaniards succeeded! Facts have proved that the Portuguese team without Deng Kai is a mess!"
"Destined? Did Deng Kai bring the Chinese team's bad luck to Portugal?"
All of a sudden, all kinds of news broke out.
Portugal, the most popular team before, lost the first game.
There are countless people on rooftops in various European countries.
The key is that even without Deng Kai, the Portuguese team should still win.
To put it bluntly, almost any player in the frontcourt of the Portuguese team can be the core of the team in Greece.
And ended up losing?
Can't figure it out.
All Europe can't figure it out.
Someone interviewed Mourinho, who had just led Porto to win the Champions League.
He and Maxa are the most popular head coaches at the moment.
Mourinho said: "Triguera's tactics are incorrect. I created a defensive system for the Portuguese national team. As long as he follows my tactics in Porto, Portugal will have no problem qualifying for the group stage."
"I know Triguera wants to prove himself, but my tactics are the best. No one understands Portugal and Deco better than me."
Many media agree with Mourinho's view.
Because based on the analysis of the first game, Portugal seems to be too focused on offense.
They want to score goals so much, even more than just one goal.
They really want to announce to the world through a big victory that even without Deng Kai, they are still a championship-level team.
As a result, Greece launched two classic counterattacks.
"Sky Sports": "Portugal's frontcourt is not as strong as everyone thinks. Luyin Costa, Figo and Pauleta have a chemical reaction, but they are not sure about Ronaldo."
"And it overlaps with Deco."
"This also caused holes in their defensive system."
"As the centerpiece of the team, Deco, except for back passes, most of his forward passes ended in failure. We even have to wonder where his twenty assists this season came from?"
"Is it all because of Drogba?"
"Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed sharp, but his playing style is too unique, which affects the team's rhythm in the midfield and frontcourt."
"The new king of Manchester United seems to have not fully adapted to life in the national team."
"Triguera has his own understanding of the use of wide players. He has assigned many offensive tasks to Valente and Ferreira, but these two full-backs only do one thing in Porto, and that is defense!"
"Facing the Greek defense and fouls, the Portuguese obviously panicked."
The results are pretty much what the media analyzed.
The Greeks defeated the Portuguese.
Without the help of full-backs, the world-changing tactics created by Triguera and Deng Kai could not be implemented at all.
At Sporting Lisbon, Triguera plays as a central defender.
The two full midfielders or attacking midfielders, with the help of Deng Kai and the forward players, took off directly.
But Mourinho did create a championship-level defense system for Portugal.
The Champions League kills people.
This forced Triguera to use Porto's four-back formation.
But for Mourinho Triguera, the result was even less than 1.
And the team's forwards cannot adapt to this style of play.
Ronaldo's breakthrough relies more on speed and sharp counterattack, but he lacks two brushes to break through the dense defense.
Figo is older and has the ability to organize, but he is increasingly unable to break through.
Quaresma has a strong technical breakthrough, but after playing in Barcelona for a long time, his core strength has not been developed. Once he encounters a physical breakthrough, the effect will be greatly reduced.
It is an indisputable fact that Luyin Costa was pushed on the bench by Kaká in AC Milan and his ability has declined and fallen out of the world class.
Viana doesn't have much playing time, is not familiar with his teammates, and has his own Milan system, so he doesn't have such a tacit understanding with his old teammates.
Deco is used to looking up and in front of Drogba, and he pays great attention to cooperation with the center.
On the one hand, world-class wingers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma and Figo were wasted.
On the other hand, neither Pauletta nor Nuno Gomez can play like Drogba.
Peak Paul Tower may be possible, but he is now in the twilight of his career.
Nuno Gomez has never been a fulcrum forward.
He's more of a penalty area shooter.
It can be said that this lineup is not easy to stick together.
Deng Kai was originally required to use his initiative and imagination to find ways to create an environment suitable for each player on the court.
The requirements for Deng Kai are very high.
What's more, the core player Deng Kai is not here yet.
Deco, Viana, and Luyin Costa obviously do not have this ability now.
Football-savvy fans should actually be worried about Portugal at this time.
In their current situation, they may not win even if they fight Russia.
If you fight against Spain, you will definitely lose!
Of course, in this round of games, Portugal's upset is the most attractive.
Secondly, there is the conflict between Wolf King Totti and Danish player Poulsen.
On the pitch, Totti spat on Poulsen and received a red card.
This caused Totti to be criticized by all media.
Totti's personal image has been greatly compromised.
You know, before this, Totti was almost the Beckham of Serie A.
He is handsome, strong, his playing style is more agile and good-looking than Beckham, and he has a leadership temperament.
There were rumors before that Real Madrid planned to introduce Totti after the European Cup.
It is said that the two parties have reached an intention to cooperate and are waiting for the summer window to open.
result……
This incident may affect Real Madrid's decision.
At least, Real Madrid can no longer withstand any negative controversy after losing all four majors.
What they need is to be extremely low-key.
The defense needs to be strengthened according to the wishes of the fans.
Otherwise, Florentino may be impeached by the fans at any time.
June 16th.
Fans flocked to Lisbon.
Benfica's home stadium at the Stadium of Light ushered in the Portuguese team's second group match.
Portugal vs Russia.
In this game, Deng Kai also appeared in the stands.
The accusations against him are still ongoing.
According to various rules, he is still unable to play for the Portuguese team.
This is a very crucial game for the Portuguese team.
If the Portuguese team still loses, they may have to bid farewell to the European Cup early.
fortunately.
Russia is indeed weak.
Portugal, with goals from Figo and Kirop, scored three points from 2 to 0.
Figo's sword never grows old.
Your uncle is still your uncle.
However, the bad part is that Simao, who performed well in this game, retired due to injury.
After the game, the Portuguese team regretfully announced that Simao will miss all of Portugal's remaining matches in this European Cup.
Ximang burst into tears at the press conference.
On the other side, the Greek team once again created a miracle.
