1179 World Cup smoke

Gelsenkirchen World Cup Stadium.f

Ronaldo was wildly booed by the English fans at the scene.

The England team came to the World Cup with the ambition to defend their title. They have won two championships in the past two major tournaments, making fans extremely enthusiastic about the national team.

There is nothing wrong with Cristiano Ronaldo putting pressure on the referee. If it were someone else, he would do the same, or if the situation were to change to a lower-weight game, then such pressure would be commonplace.

But not only do Rooney and Ronaldo know each other, they were also friends and teammates in the past. They had the experience of working together in the Millwall youth team. In recent years, they have each played their respective roles, and they have also played against each other in the Premier League.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the star of Millwall, while Rooney is first of all a native English player and secondly a popular striker of Manchester United.

For English fans, it cannot be said that most Manchester United fans here choose to defend Rooney, but for too many English fans who believe in the club, except for Millwall fans, other fans do not care about Millwall.

Friendly, so they will target Ronaldo.

Especially after Ronaldo was pushed, he had a facial expression on the sideline that seemed like "the conspiracy had succeeded", which made English fans believe that Ronaldo was deliberately trying to anger Rooney.

In fact, objectively speaking, it doesn't matter what Ronaldo does, even if he clapped and applauded when Rooney was sent off, because the most fundamental reason for the red card is: Why did Rooney step on Carvalho's groin?

If he didn't have such dangerous foul moves, how could others provoke him and what would happen?

Even if he pushed his opponent, the referee would at best give him a yellow card.

Cristiano Ronaldo ignored the boos from England fans in the stadium.

He has a position: he is Portugal's leading figure now!

He even felt resentful towards the England fans in the stands!

They don't understand anything!

Portugal has never been a strong team on the stage of international competitions!

no!

If it were not for the emergence of Figo Ruicosta, a group of Portugal's golden generation who became famous all over the world in the 1990s, the world's impression of Portuguese football might not even reach the second-tier level in Europe.

But precisely because of the emergence of the golden generation, they have a large number of fans around the world. This will inevitably lead to an unrealistic improvement in the outside world's impression of Portugal's strength.

Before the 2006 World Cup started.

How many World Cup matches has Portugal participated in?

3 times!

And when was the last time Portugal qualified from the group stage in the World Cup?

40 years ago!

40 years ago, they finished third in the World Cup held in England. At that time, they also relied on the brilliance of the legendary Portuguese superstar Eusebio to achieve third place in the World Cup.

20 years ago, their group was eliminated.

Four years ago in Asia, they also returned home after the group stage.

In 2006, Portugal entered the World Cup for the fourth time in history. What games are they playing now?

Quarterfinals!

In other words, Portugal has achieved its best result in the World Cup in the past 40 years!

Every step forward is a new glory for modern Portuguese football!

And what about England?

It has always been a traditional strong team in the eyes of the world. Even if Aldridge led them to win the World Cup and European Cup, England's favorites to win the championship are mostly in the top ten every time they go to a major competition!

Instead, Portugal?

No one is talking about whether they can win the championship.

Because in the eyes of real professional football analysts or critics, Portugal is far away from the championship. It would be good for this small European border country to qualify from the group.

In Ronaldo's eyes, England today is arrogant. They have been clamoring to defend their title before the World Cup, while Portugal is moving forward in a low-key manner with the ambition to create history.

They will catch every mistake of their opponents and attack them fiercely!

As it happens, Rooney made a mistake!

He must pay the price!

How could Portugal miss such an opportunity?

In the end, the quarter-finals ended in a draw in regular time and overtime. England lost to Portugal in the penalty shootout and were eliminated.

And Portugal has entered the semi-finals of the World Cup!

They are infinitely close to the best result of the national team in the World Cup, and have the opportunity to create new glory!

Win one more game and go to the finals!

Win two more games and stand proudly on top of the world!

After the game, Fleet Street deliberately enlarged the picture of Ronaldo's "successful" expression when Rooney came off the field. The national team coach Redknapp also tried his best to protect Rooney before leaving office. In addition, English fans also expressed their displeasure with Rooney in the European Cup two years ago.

I can't forget his magical performance. After all, he was the hero, so almost all England's anger was directed at Ronaldo.

Aldridge said bluntly in an interview after the game: "It is unfair to accuse Ronaldo. In my opinion, he has done nothing wrong. Maybe you think Ronaldo is my disciple, so I will protect him.

Well, I can tell you that as a head coach, after what happened (Rooney stepped on and was red carded), I will first pursue Rooney's foul behavior. It was a red card action and there was no dispute.

discussion, instead of focusing on: Why did Ronaldo go to put pressure on the referee? I would like to ask: Why can't he put pressure on the referee? In the end, England was eliminated as the defending champion. This is football

, you will win, you will also lose. England needs to sum up this failure, instead of blaming others and focusing on spitting and criticizing others. In that case, England's future will be bleak!"

As a meritorious coach who has led the England national team to win the World Cup and the European Cup, Aldridge plays a big role in defending Ronaldo immediately, although some people still take the relationship as "Cristiano Ronaldo is Aldridge's player"

And tried to deny Aldrich's remarks, but Aldrich didn't take it to heart.

After the game, he also sent a text message to Ronaldo as soon as possible, congratulating his team on advancing to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and asking him not to take things in the game to heart. Ronaldo called him back, which was a bit bitter.

Basically, he felt that the fans in England were booing him too much, which made him a little aggrieved and angry.

In the following days, during the World Cup semi-finals, media from Italy and Spain revealed that since Ronaldo had become the public enemy of the UK, Rooney did not become the Beckham of that year. Italy's Inter Milan and Spain's Real Madrid were planning to

Take the opportunity to try to take Ronaldo away!

At the same time, Millwall's promotional poster for the new season was released in advance. Ronaldo is clearly on the poster as the protagonist, which means that Millwall declares to the outside world: Ronaldo will not leave!

Portugal failed to create a big miracle in the end. They lost to France in the semi-finals, and the German team playing on home soil also lost to the "Magic Grosso". Italy and France met in the World Cup finals.

On the day of the final, Aldridge went to watch the game. There were not many surprises. Zidane, who is getting stronger with age and becomes more courageous with each passing game, was the worthy protagonist, with a thrilling but elegant spoon score, and the final shocking performance.

With one goal, Italy had the last laugh in the penalty shootout and reached the top even though the outside world was not optimistic about it!

The 2006 World Cup came to a successful conclusion.

For many Millwall players participating in the World Cup, except for De Rossi, everyone else should be considered a loser, among which Ronaldinho and Kaká are the most helpless.

Brazil's tactics for this World Cup are very chaotic from beginning to end. Adriano, Ronaldo, Robinho, the head coach is hesitant between playing a single forward, a double forward, or a three forward, or the substitutions and adjustments will change.

Either they change their style every other game, and their unstable style of play prevented the Brazilian team from bursting out with the super offensive firepower expected by the outside world.

Veterans such as Nedved were also "miserable" and failed to shine in the World Cup. The final impact also turned into an elegy for the curtain call.

Lahm and Schneider have different historical missions in the national team. Perhaps Schneider has a greater regret. He was already the captain of the national team when Ballack was absent. The German team performed well, finishing third, but

His farewell has also entered the countdown, and Ram's era has just begun.

Alonso and Villa accompanied Spain, who was about to break out of the cocoon, to play another World Cup that the outside world was used to and numb. The king of qualifiers either lacked luck in the main game or was sluggish at critical moments, but they had already arrived on the eve of dawn.

, the bright glory is not far away from them.

The most regrettable thing is Henry. Although he is not the protagonist, Zidane, who was sent off with a red card and retired from the game, is. However, the French team was so close to the World Cup, and Henry also hopes to win the Hercules Cup for the second time.

, but the reality is not satisfactory.

The young player Messi also went to the World Cup for a round, but it is a pity that Argentina is still continuing the Menotti doctrine, pursuing offense and romance. The scene did look wonderful, better than the 3313 that Bielsa was finally laughed at by the world four years ago.

He also left more than 20 kicks in the World Cup

The classic goal that was scored after the team passed the ball and cooperated, but this still could not make Argentina go further. On the contrary, Italy's defense-first style, similar to Argentina's Bilardotism style, finally reached the top of the world. For Messi,

This is an experience, I can score goals and comfort myself.

The curtain of the World Cup came to an end, Aldridge and his family returned to London, and the club gave the players competing in the World Cup more holidays.

Aldrich told the club staff to report to him the news in Italy every day.

Millwall's plans for the summer transfer period are not very detailed, but they are quite critical and important.

Goalkeeper!

Don't worry too much about other positions. Years of gradual and healthy management have made them strong and the team's lineup is very reasonable.

The only area that needs surgery is the goalkeeper position.

Millwall need a world-class goalkeeper!

Let the team's strength be improved to a higher level and closer to perfection! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
