The referee for the match between Portugal and Turkey will be Herbert Vandel from Germany, and the two assistant referees will be Castern Kadach and Victor Casse from Germany.
Vandel is from Germany, a pianist and music school director. During the European Cup qualifying match between Denmark and Sweden, the referee was attacked by Danish fans because of a controversial penalty, and the game was forced to be cut in half afterwards.
The Swedish team scored three points. At the same time, this referee also officiated in the 2007 Champions League final, when Liverpool lost to AC Milan 0-1.
At this point, the Swiss-Austria European Cup is getting closer and closer to everyone. Before the match between Portugal and Turkey, there is still one game to be played. It is the opening match of this European Cup. The two sides are the host Switzerland and
Czech team.
The Czech team is no longer the Czech team it was four years ago. They are now even older and no longer as brave as they used to be. Moreover, their team's Dionysian leader Pavel Nedved and midfielder Rosicky are both injured and unable to participate in this tournament.
In the European Cup, their strength was greatly reduced.
Such a Czech team obviously cannot be favored by people. Although the Swiss team is not strong, the Swiss team is the host, they have a very big advantage, and they also have certain strength. Before the game, everyone thought that the Swiss team should
Able to win.
This game is very important for both teams, as it determines whether they can qualify from the group. Therefore, Switzerland, as the host, hopes to use its home court to defeat its opponent.
But after the game started, the Swiss team did not show much strength. Instead, they were beaten by the Czech team, which most people were not optimistic about before the game. In this game, the Czech team performed very well. They created
Many opportunities, many times they almost broke the Swiss goal. In this game, they created at least three opportunities to easily score, but they only grasped one. Their ability to seize opportunities is really lacking.
Already.
However, they still won the game, 1-0. The Czech team defeated the host Swiss team and got off to a good start.
This result was beyond the expectations of many people. They did not expect that the Czechs would have the last laugh. This also surprised the players of the Portuguese team. It also reminded them that they must not play in the game.
Despise your opponent, otherwise you will lose before the game even starts.
The host country Switzerland had a bad start, which seemed to prove that the strength of the host country in this European Cup was the worst. The host Switzerland national team was suppressed by the Czech national team throughout the game, and there was no chance to fight back. This made
Swiss fans are full of concerns about the prospects of the Swiss national team in this European tournament.
While the Czech team and the Swiss team were still playing, the Portuguese team and the Turkish team also arrived at their competition venue. At this time, there were already a lot of fans in the stadium. Some of them were wearing Portuguese jerseys, and some were wearing clothes.
Wearing Turkey jersey.
Although it was quiet yesterday, Geneva suddenly became lively on the match day. On the trains from various cities in Switzerland to Geneva, there were many fans wearing the uniforms of the Portuguese team or the Turkish team and draped in the national flags of the two countries.
Most fans go to the game city in small groups to watch the game. And many fans are talking about tonight's game and expressing their own opinions.
At the Geneva Central Railway Station, groups of Turkish fans sang songs in unison, walked out of the train station, took trams or buses, or walked to the Geneva Stadium. There was also a car with a Turkish flag hanging high on it. The driver pressed the horn, which immediately caused a stir.
Other Turkish fans cheered. Some Portuguese fans also acted collectively and hung Portuguese and Swiss flags in the windows of many houses in Geneva.
Countless fans began to rush here. They couldn't wait to come to the scene to cheer for their national team.
On the way to the Geneva Stadium, Turkish and Portuguese fans each cheered in their own way. In the outfield of the stadium, the fans were divided into two obvious groups, each forming a circle and singing cheering songs in their native languages. The two teams'
The fans enjoyed the enthusiasm before the game, but it was very orderly and there were no minor conflicts. The Swiss police also appeared to be very light.
In the press center of the Geneva Stadium, where this game was played, reporters from all over the world were already crowded into the small media studio. Most of the tickets applied for by reporters, as well as tickets for the press conference and the mixed interview area, had been distributed. Only photography was available.
Reporters are still waiting for the distribution of photography seats.
Now all the preparations before the game are going on in an orderly manner, and the players of the two teams are also preparing carefully. This game is equally important to both sides. At this time, everyone
Can't afford to lose.
By eight o'clock in the evening, the Geneva Stadium was already filled with fans. Fans of the Turkish and Portuguese national teams were clearly distinguishable. They cheered for their teams in the stands and sang the national anthems of their respective national teams.
The team cheers.
This game only started at nine o'clock in the evening. Because there was an opening ceremony and an opening game before this game, the kick-off time of this game was a little late, but this still couldn't stop the fans.
of enthusiasm.
The entire stadium has been filled with enthusiastic fans. At this time, there is still nearly an hour before the game starts. These fans are simply too passionate.
At this time, the players from both sides are doing their final warm-up in the stadium. After the warm-up, the players from both sides will return to the locker room and listen to the coach's final tactical arrangements before appearing on the stadium again.
Take part in this game.
Qiu Ze is now practicing passing on the court. He and Nani, Moutinho and others are practicing. Cristiano Ronaldo did not join them. They are in another circle. Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in the game.
I even contacted Long Shot several times before.
To be honest, Cristiano Ronaldo is not particularly popular in the Portuguese national team because this guy is always very arrogant. And this guy is not very willing to believe in his teammates. He believes in himself more.
It can be seen from the previous games of the Portuguese national team that Cristiano Ronaldo chooses to work alone more often. However, sometimes this guy also has the awareness to pass the ball. However, because of his personality, this guy
The reason is that the relationship with my teammates is not very good, so the cooperation is not very tacit.
Often this guy's passes are not very easy for the Portuguese national team players to pick up, so they often make some mistakes and lose opportunities. Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo increasingly distrusts his teammates and only believes in his teammates.
Own.
However, to be honest, Cristiano Ronaldo's ability is very strong. This is why Scolari has always allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to work alone on the court, and has even been supporting Cristiano Ronaldo.
Let him be the captain and core of the team.
Of course, what Scolari hopes most is that Cristiano Ronaldo can cooperate with his teammates, so that the strength of the Portuguese national team will be developed to its maximum. In recent years, Cristiano Ronaldo has also changed, and this guy has also
Gradually move toward maturity.
However, although this guy has changed a bit, the change is not very big, so the relationship between this guy and his teammates in the team is not particularly good. This guy has been with the Portuguese national team for so long, and it seems that it is not as good as when he just joined the national team.
Qiu Ze.
Now the relationship between Qiu Ze and his teammates of the Portuguese national team is very good. Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo are both geniuses in the eyes of the Portuguese national team members, but there are huge differences in their personalities.
different.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very high-spirited. This guy is often self-centered. He believes in himself more and loves himself more.
But Qiu Ze is different. Qiu Ze doesn't want to be as arrogant as Cristiano Ronaldo. Qiu Ze is very kind, friendly to everyone, able to get along with others, not so aloof, not so unworldly, this guy is more close to the people.
During the game, Qiu Ze will also trust his teammates very much. As long as he is in a good position, he will always pass the football to teammates who are in a better position. This may have a lot to do with him being a midfield organizer.
Relationship.
However, the core of the team is still Cristiano Ronaldo, which was decided by Scolari. Because Cristiano Ronaldo is more familiar with the Portuguese national team, and Qiu Ze has only joined the Portuguese national team not long ago.
There is still a lot to understand.
During the warm-up before the game, there was very little contact between Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo, almost not even once. This made the reporters on the sidelines also see it, and they were all very happy. It seemed that they
The guess is correct, there is a big conflict between Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Before the game, media reporters were speculating whether Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo would appear in the starting lineup of the Portuguese national team at the same time, because there was a big conflict between the two. Although the Portuguese national team and Qiu
Cristiano Ronaldo himself does not admit it, but everyone knows that this problem exists objectively.
Since this contradiction exists, then the head coach of the Portuguese national team Luiz Felipe Scolari must consider this issue. In this game, whether Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo can start, this is something he must resolve.
This is also a question that countless people are paying attention to now, and all of this will be revealed the moment this game starts.
Many people at the scene are looking forward to the start of this game. They are all looking forward to the reveal of this mystery. They all want to see how Scolari will solve this problem. This seems to be the key to this game.
The biggest attraction.
At this time, the players from both sides ended their pre-match warm-ups and walked towards the tunnel and back to the locker room. They were now making final preparations for this game.
