The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

The European Cup is about to start, the Europa continent is on fire again, and powerful players from all walks of life are gathering in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula.

On June 2004, 6, Brazil's famous star of the last century, football king Pele received the invitation of UEFA President Johnson and appeared at Lisbon Airport in Portugal as scheduled.

The 64-year-old football king did not show his old age in an interview with reporters, and his quick thinking was better than ordinary people.However, the interview process was quite entertaining.

As we all know, in addition to his excellent ball skills, Pele also has a special feature-magical reverse prediction.

……

On the football field, Pele can be described as all-powerful. No one can question the talent and achievements of the ball king, but the skill of the ball king's mouth cannot be compared with his footwork.

Before each World Series, Bailey will stand up and give some advice, but unfortunately, every time Bailey's optimistic team will have bad luck in the next game, the shooting rate is as high as 100%.

Looking back at Pele's experience, the strong team "Undead" who fell under his "famous mouth" can almost make Hades, the king of the underworld in the fairy tales, pale with fright.

Turning back the time 14 years, in the 90 World Cup, Bailey was optimistic about Yugoslavia, predicting that it would enter the top four. As a result, the Yugoslavia team was slaughtered 4-4 by the West Germany team led by Matthaus in the first game.

Pele continued to be optimistic about Yugoslavia in the European Cup in 92. As a result, Yugoslavia could not even participate in the competition due to political reasons.

In the 94 World Cup, Pele believed that Colombia was a strong contender for the championship. Unfortunately, under the "effect" of Pele, Colombian defender Escobar scored an own goal.Colombia didn't even qualify for the group, and the poor defender Escobar was shot to death with an own goal.If there is a ghost, Bailey will definitely not be able to escape.

Time shifted to the 1996 European Cup.Pele was also optimistic about Turkey's dark horse and Italy winning the championship. As a result, after the group stage, the two teams went home in doubles.

In the 98 World Cup, Pele predicted that Spain would become a dark horse in the group stage. As a result, Spain was defeated by Nigeria and failed to qualify for the group. Then he was optimistic about Nigeria, but Nigeria was eliminated. Before the final, Pele was optimistic about Brazil, and Brazil was finally recognized as the number one favorite. The team was ravaged by the French team 0:3.Lose the final.It is said that the then Brazilian coach Zagallo wanted to smash the glass of Pele's house with a brick in grief and indignation.

In the 2000 European Champions Cup final, Real Madrid played against Valencia. Before the game, Pele said that he was optimistic about Real Madrid winning the championship. For a while, the owners of Mestalla wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate in advance. Who knows that bad luck still happened. Half an hour before the start of the game, Pele suddenly changed his mind and said he was optimistic about Valencia.As a result, the poor Valencia team drank three consecutive bombs in the final and could only return home with hatred.

In the 02 World Cup, Pele hit even bigger.France, Argentina, and England, which he is optimistic about, went home one after another. France and Argentina even failed to qualify for the group.

This is the famous Pokémon Law.

************

The topic is far away-the mysterious background mentioned above undoubtedly adds a dazzling black halo to the 64-year-old man-in the eyes of many ball critics, Pele seems to have two guns stuck in the back of his suit. Skin-colored feathers.

It is said that before the Italian expedition.The chairman of the Football Association Carraro intends to send a lot of money to Pele to let him appear in front of journalists.Praise France to win the championship to eliminate this team in the 98 World Cup. In the 2000 European Championships, they defeated Italy and finally won the bitter home team.

Rumors are rumors after all, but at this moment, domestic journalists from several strong teams that are expected to compete for the championship have followed Carraro's example and set a trap for their imaginary enemies.

"I think France will triumph in the group stage and reach the semi-finals."

As soon as Bailey's words fell, the French reporters present turned pale; the French reporter Petaman immediately saw through the disguise of his Italian colleagues, and glared at Bezoani and his British counterparts who gloated at his misfortune. Asked in fluent English: "How far do you think Britain and Italy, the traditional European teams, can go in this European Cup? Which teams do you think will enter the semi-finals?"

Bezoani and the English gentlemen couldn't help glaring at Petaman, this Frenchman is so sinister!

In this tense interview scene like a professional boxing arena, Mr. Bailey seemed to realize something, his black face flushed, he blinked quickly, and said: "Britain is a very strong team, I am optimistic about Rooney, I think he Will shine in the European Cup; Italy? Mariano. The team; of course, the hosts Portugal and the Czech Republic also have the strength to win the championship, and I am very optimistic about them entering the semi-finals."

"..."

At the airport, the loyal Portuguese onlookers booed in grief and indignation. The president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Man Quaresma, was dumbfounded, and the Italians couldn't hide their grief and indignation.If this curse comes true, then Bailey's words will harm four teams.

……

The next day, several Italian newspapers released headlines in unanimous agreement, "Grief and indignation, Pele opened his mouth again, the future of the Italian team is unpredictable!" ", "Protect Totti! Protect Mariano! ".

The British, on the other hand, published the address of the European Association of Professional Wizards on an important page in the gossip tabloids.The Britons may be looking to hire a wizard and dance god to resolve their team's bad luck.

*********

On June 6, the Italian team's bus arrived in Porto. They will participate in the opening ceremony of the European Cup at Porto's Dragon Stadium after three days of training.

The Italian team that appeared at the Porto Stadium was enthusiastically sought after by the fans. When Liu Wen walked out of the bus with Totti, Vieri, Nesta and Del Piero.The cheers almost toppled the ceiling.

"Francisco!!!" "Mariano!!!" "Christian!!!"

The huge cheers were like huge waves, pushing Liu Wen back a step.Buried his body behind Buffon, who was taller than him.It's just that the more this happened, the more the reporters refused to let him go.

"Mariano. What do you think of the strength of this Italian team?" "Who do you think you can play better with?"

Liu Wen rubbed his head, and fluently came up with a series of diplomatic rhetoric.

"I think the Italian team is very strong now-in fact, it is almost the same with anyone. It is very comfortable to play with those great stars. Sometimes it only takes a look and a smile to understand what to do."

……

In front of the reporters, Vieri seemed much calmer than the reserved Liu Wen. He had always been at odds with the reporters with a cold face, and took the lead through the crowd.Stride to the hotel where the Italian team stayed.

Behind Vieri, the photojournalist pressed the shutter desperately, trying to capture the dynamics of the idols with the camera.

Compared with the stars, Trapattoni seemed much more straightforward. He stood at the entrance of the hotel and took the trouble to answer the reporters' questions.Ignoring those same questions for now, when answering the same question as Liu Wen, Trapattoni answered as follows:

"I think Italy has the perfect team, I don't think there is any team stronger than us."

Perhaps only God knows where Mr. Trapattoni's confidence came from.

******

June 6.The Italian team started the first joint training.In this training, the Italian team was filled with a rare happy atmosphere.

"Now we start 2v3 offensive and defensive training!"

Before the start of the group match, Trapattoni announced the next training program; Totti, Vieri against Nesta, Zambrotta, Perotta; and Del Piero and Liu Wen together, against Gato Suo, Cannavaro and Liu Wen's Naples teammate Grosso.The remaining players will conduct 4-on-1 passing and receiving training.Pirlo, who had just returned from injury, was on the sidelines with Ambrosini, the injured Gilardino and Camoranesi officially returned to the team, and the team doctor Castellazzi had a smile on his face.

Liu Wen passed the ball to Del Piero.Piero dialed the ball horizontally and easily avoided Grosso's defense.Knocking the ball to Liu Wen under Gattuso's nose, Liu Wen received the ball with his right foot.Try to break through Cannavaro.

Cannavaro failed to stop Liu Wen's breakthrough. The latter made a quick breakthrough in an extremely small space, and took the ball across the finish line before Gattuso had time to make up for it.

In the first game, Liu Wen Piero won, and there was applause from all around. Gattuso wiped his wet beard with the back of his hand, winked at Liu Wen, and made a gesture to continue.

In the second game, Liu Wen continued to face Gattuso. He made three consecutive cycling moves in front of Gattuso, causing the latter to end the second game in a dizzy state.

The third game, the fourth game... The goddess of victory is always on the opposite side of the defender. Cannavaro and Gattuso have no temper at all when they are kicked.Piero, on the other hand, seemed a little unhappy, and he only touched the ball once in total in these three innings.

Until the fifth game, the heroic Milan right forward finally found a little confidence. He and Cannavaro successfully closed the door and stepped forward to intercept the ball.

"nice shot!"

After stealing Liu Wen, the famously fierce AC Milan midfielder gave himself a high thumbs up, smiled and made a show to the reporters on the slope, and naturally murdered a lot of Feilin.

In the next team confrontation, Gilardino, Ambrosini and Camoranesi did not participate in the joint training; Trapattoni divided the rest of the players into two groups, one side was Liu Wen, Totti, Germany Rossi, Perotta, Barone, Zambrotta, Nesta, Materacci, Grosso, Buffon; the other side is Vieri, Piero, Gattuso, Pirlo , Cannavaro, Zauri, Barzagli, Odo, Peruzzi and the assistant coach Ferrara who played in the midfield; yellow vest.

……

The training match ended quickly. In the end, Totti and Liu Wen's side won 3-2. The goals were scored by De Rossi, Totti and Zambrotta. Liu Wen contributed once during the game. assists; on the other side Del Piero scored two goals.

On the afternoon of June 6th, the Italian team played a friendly match with the Porto b team. The Italian team lined up the entire main lineup for this campaign. Vieri, Totti, Nesta and Del Piero all started.Their opponent is an underdog hovering in Portugal's lower league.

In the 6th minute, Vieri scored with a header from Totti's cross, and then De Rossi tried a strong shot in front of the penalty area and missed it.

In the 21st minute, Totti received a wonderful pass from his teammate and broke into the penalty area and hit the goal. The ball rolled into the far corner, 2-0!Italy took the easy lead.

In the second half, Liu Wen came on as a substitute for Vieri, and 5000 Italian fans in the North Stand gave him warm applause.

In the next game, the Italian team still firmly controlled the situation on the field. In the 49th minute, Liu Wen received a pass from Del Piero and shot high from the front of the penalty area; 3 minutes later, Liu Wen broke through the opposing defender on the left After making a low pass in front of the goal, Totti stabbed into the net before the opponent's defender made a clearance, 3-0, Totti scored twice.Trapattoni smiled with satisfaction.

In the 67th minute, the Italian team began to make large-scale substitutions. Camoranesi replaced Del Piero, Perotta replaced De Rosso, and Zauri replaced Grosso.

In the 71st minute, the Italian team got a free kick in the frontcourt. Liu Wen broke through the goal of Porto b team with a free kick, 4-0.

In the 89th minute, Liu Wen took a free kick from the left, and Zauri scored with a header, 5-0. Ragio's goal from the left back put a complete end to the massacre.The next opponent of the Italian team will be the first opponent in the European Cup group stage, the Nordic powerhouse Denmark. I wonder if Andersen's fairy tale can defeat the Italian team to prove Mr. Pele's curse?

********

On June 6, Liu Wen followed his teammates to the Dragon Stadium in Porto to watch the opening game of the European Cup, the match between Portugal and Greece.

As soon as he stepped into the Dragon Stadium, Liu Wen was startled by the fiery atmosphere in the stadium.There are enough seats to accommodate more than 50000 people.Under the blowing of the sea breeze and human waves, the blue ribbons on the seats floated high, making people feel like they are in the boundless ocean.

"Ah, Mariano, this is the characteristic of the Dragon Stadium!" De Rossi, who has played against Portuguese teams many times, said proudly to Liu Wen. Liu Wen, who knew nothing about Portuguese football, could only nod repeatedly. , casually asked:

"Then why are the ribbons blue?"

"Well, I don't know anything about Portuguese aesthetics."

……

Finding his own seat and sitting down, Liu Wen picked up the ribbon and found that "European Cup 2004" was written in English and Portuguese on one end of the ribbon. If he is full of energy, even the giant bull in Argentina can be blown into the sky by him.

Ten minutes later, the opening ceremony of the European Cup entered the preparatory stage. To Liu Wen's surprise, the organizing committee of the European Cup notified him temporarily to let

Together with Totti, he was specially invited to the rostrum to watch the opening ceremony as the representative of Italian players.
