football's most handsome

Chapter 357

Kaka was silent.

He really couldn't answer Juan's rhetorical question.

What is the Confederations Cup?The World Cup is the real thing!

That's right, since the Confederations Cup is nothing, it's just a friendly match for teams like them, and it's really not something to be proud of living such a friendly trophy.

"Not to mention the Confederations Cup, what do you think of your performance in this game?" Juan chuckled, "Croatia has a very good midfielder, but you have four better ones."

——Croatia's Modric can indeed be called excellent. When Juan met Tottenham in the Premier League, Ferguson's only requirement for him was to guard against Modric.

But that one is still in the growth stage, and each of these midfielders in Brazil is world-class.

However, during the game, Brazil was almost blown away by this midfielder.

And the terrible thing is that Brazil's striker didn't even make any big achievements, and Kaka scored the decisive goal.

The current Brazil is very luxurious on the surface, but in fact they know what's going on inside-similarly, one game is enough for many people to see their current situation clearly.

The gold and jade are outside, and the flocs are in it.

Kaka was silent for a while and smiled wryly: "Our performance...should be okay, right?"

"It's not bad." Juan smiled, "But if you want to go further, you can't rely on those people alone."

Kaka frowned and replied, "I can't either."

"You can," Juan said word by word, "you are the rising sun, you are the hope of Brazil's future, you are already on the rise... Similarly, you are about to reach your peak, this World Cup is your soaring first step."

Under such circumstances, it is not too much for Juan to say "Kaka's fate".

The person on the other end of the phone smiled: "Juan, you know I'm not the kind of person who will take the initiative to fight."

"I know, you don't have that kind of personality." Juan sighed softly, "So I said it's your opportunity, whether you can seize it depends on yourself...I don't want you to fight for it. , but do you still want Brazil to go further?"

Kaka answered very positively: "Brazil can definitely go one step further."

Juan chuckled: "I know what you think now, let's talk about it after the next game... To be honest, seeing you are so entangled, I just want to introduce you to a young man right now, it's interesting .”

He knew that Kaka had sensed something was wrong, and he gave a veiled opinion, but the specific choice was still up to Kaka himself.

Likewise, only Kaka can make his own decisions.

The two changed the topic in a tacit understanding, and Kaka asked with a smile: "How interesting?"

He didn't even ask who it was, Juan knew his character and said with a smile: "It's as interesting as Messi... no, at least it's more interesting than the current Messi."

???

Kaka was taken aback for a moment, then understood: "How old are you?"

"It's also a little older than Messi, but a few years younger than you." Juan said slowly, "but he has a more playful personality."

"The strength is good, and it's suitable... Do you plan to buy it back after the summer?" Kaka teased.

"Of course not." Juan smiled all over his face, "Although I like him very much... But we made an appointment, he will come to see me with the Golden Globe."

"Isn't the agreement between you too big?"

"No, he can do it." Juan smiled.

After such a game against Angola, Portugal kept its own law and order, and the next three games all returned to normal scores, which also made many people look at Portugal with suspicion.

Their 6:0 game was really just luck?

But if it's really just luck, why doesn't Portugal have such a lineup anymore?

Compared with the thrills that Portugal brought to other teams, Spain is a surprise all the way.Their team is indeed young, several of them are in their early twenties, and they have also taken up the semi-main position. At the beginning, no one was optimistic about this lineup, but after the group stage, everyone was surprised It turned out that Spain was one of the few teams that won all of the group matches!

Marca said: "We are a young and vigorous Spain. At least for now, we have unlimited hopes! Let us look forward to how far the boys can go in this game!"

Of course, the people of Spain are not the only ones who are looking forward to it. In fact, Spain has been in the dark for a long time, and now we finally see the dawn of dawn. Naturally, everyone has 12 points of hope.

——Until the draw for the quarter-finals.

After more than half a month of the group stage, the list of the top sixteen of the World Cup was released. After seeing this list, many people wanted to smile bitterly.

Hosts Germany, France, Argentina, England, Portugal, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Switzerland, Ecuador, Australia, Mexico, Sweden, Ukraine, Ghana.

Even in the top sixteen, everyone ranked three grades - the team they least want to face, the best team, and the mid-range team.

Obviously, Brazil, Argentina, France and Italy are in the first pot, and Portugal was in the third pot at the beginning, but after the group stage, many people suggested that it would be better to put them directly in the first pot.If the problem of strong offense and weak defense can be solved, Portugal can indeed wrestle with other teams.

And teams like Switzerland, Ecuador, Australia, Mexico, Ukraine, and Ghana are put into the easy-to-play teams. This group of people is also the opponent that others most want to meet.

Embarrassingly, the young Spain is also classified in this category.

Obviously the Spanish boys are very angry about this, but they will not choose to speak out directly, but use their performance on the court to prove whether they are a weak team or not!

—then they drew France.

France with Vieri in the front, Zidane in the midfield and Makelele in the back.

When Casillas called these two days, he was a little weak. Juan was worried at first, but later he realized that it was obviously because everyone felt the pressure, so he kept training himself.

Juan was very worried: "Just train, don't hurt yourself, and don't overwork yourself."

"I know." Casillas finally raised his spirits, "Instead of worrying about us, why not worry about yourself... The Netherlands is not an easy opponent to deal with."

Portugal's opponent is the Netherlands, and the Netherlands has an old acquaintance Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Juan nodded: "I know."

Compared with the group stage, the quarter-finals are much more smokey. The World Cup is a single-round match. In an environment where the outcome is determined, no one can be lucky. With a trace of determination to live or die.

The host Germany showed great power when facing Sweden and sent the opponent home with two goals. The Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was alone and could only watch the goal happen.

Argentina delivered an equally beautiful feast the next night.Compared with the smooth and fast play style of the hosts like an assembly line, Argentina is much lighter.

Their coach has already stated his position from the beginning-"Everything comes with Riquelme, as long as he plays happily", so this Argentina team has a very strong Riquelme personality. Style, especially in terms of speed, they are not that fast, on the contrary, they are even a little slow, but it is such a slow team that sent two goals to the opponent in the first half, if not in the second half If Argentina makes a mistake, the score will not be 2:1 but 2:0 or even more.

England also successfully sent Ecuador home in the third game. Their captain Beckham scored the only goal. Juan even gloated about it-he was referring to Rooney's failure to play. Son.

Lu Xiaopang was obviously also very depressed. When contacting Juan, he even complained a few words very rarely, but he quickly stopped talking-England and Portugal are also likely to be in the quarter-finals Opponent, whatever you say at this time is leaking information!

However, it was obvious that he woke up a bit late, and Juan said slowly: "So you are dissatisfied with your coach—"

"No!" Xiaopang was anxious, "Don't talk nonsense!!"

"What are you afraid of? There is no one else." Juan paused, narrowing his eyes, "...there is no one?"

"...No!" His answer was very loud, but the fact that the situation was just like this made Juan feel confident-there must be someone on his side!

Why do everyone like to play this trick now... Isn't it good to compete well, why do you have to play tricks with each other?

Juan was very emotional: "I look forward to you being beaten until you have a bruised nose and a swollen face... If you can't be beaten, I will come!"

"...Hey!" Rooney felt extremely wronged.

In the year Juan was at Manchester United, he was still at Everton... To put it another way, he was actually beaten all the way by this person. When he arrived at Manchester United, Juan had already left. It's a pity.

And Cristiano, who knew what he was thinking, slapped his chest very buddy and said: Don't you just want to know Juan?Leave it to him!

So after going back and forth like this, Juan and Rooney also became acquainted. Xiaopang was very shy at the beginning, until one time Cristiano unintentionally mentioned the issue of the hairline...

The runaway little fat man almost beat up his teammate, Juan was dumbfounded and understood the character of this guy.

... In fact, he is also a ram!

After joking for a while, Rooney seemed to think of something and said, "Speaking of which, you will compete tomorrow...can you still chat with me here?"

"What's wrong?" Juan blinked, "Although we say we will play tomorrow, I won't play tomorrow."

"Ah?" Rooney stared, "Wait, you're not playing?!"

The person on the other end of the phone became agitated, and Juan actually heard someone whispering and urgently asking him to ask what was going on, and he even heard his familiar voice.

"It's just a joke...how could it be possible not to play?" Juan coughed lightly, "But chatting with people is also one of the ways for me to relax."

England player Wayne Rooney, who has completed the current set goal and just needs to wait quietly for his team's quarter-final draw, comforted him very seriously: "Come on, but 10 minutes will pass!"

"Your description..." Juan sighed, "Well, that's right."

In fact, this is not the first time Portugal has met the Netherlands. In the 04 World Cup, Portugal had already faced the Netherlands. At that time, the Netherlands lost to Portugal and stopped in the semi-finals.

Will this game be Portugal's continued dominance, or the Netherlands' counterattack?

No one knows what the situation will be like, but in fact, this can be regarded as the first strong duel since this World Cup.

The Dutch squad is truly amazing - including their coach as well.

While preparing in the player tunnel, Cristiano poked his head out to look at the Dutch coach's bench, and then muttered: "It's quite handsome..."

Figo didn't hear what he said, so he decided to slap him to the back. When Cristiano scratched his head and went back, he had time to repeat to Juan: "Van Basten is pretty good." handsome."

Juan glanced at him: "Then? Are you trying to say that Coach Scolari is not handsome?"

"That's not the way to say it, it just feels like it's a little... not that imposing." Cristiano held his face and thought for a long time before he found such an adjective.

"After all, Van Basten is closer to our time." Juan actually wanted to take a look, but he held back.

Because at this moment, on the other side of the player tunnel, there was a very scorching gaze staring at him, which made him want to sigh.

... The main reason for Holland's loss was not whether he was good or not, please stop staring at him like this!

To be honest, Fanny was really unlucky.

He has already moved to Real Madrid, but what he didn't expect was that Juan turned into the coach of Deportivo as soon as he turned around, so every time he was defeated by Deportivo, he felt even more aggrieved.

He is also one of the few people who is not surprised by Juan's return to the court. Even when he first returned to the national team, Van Nistelrooy could not wait to shout: The duel between the two of them is not over yet!

Fortunately, he himself came to shout, instead of letting Juan know through the media, otherwise Juan wouldn't know how to answer this man's words.

The Netherlands is indeed very strong, the Orange Tulip is known as the uncrowned king, but here comes the problem - the internal strife in the eyes of the Netherlands has reached the point where everyone knows it, and it has almost become a regular joke in every national team game.

"But Van Basten... who are you looking at?" Cristiano had already noticed that Juan was absent-minded, and he forced the fundraising to stop discussing with him about the appearance of the two head coaches, and looked back at the direction of Juan's gaze , and soon he saw the other party: "Ah, Fanny!"

His voice made Juan want to sigh even more.

When Ruud van Nistelrooy was still at Manchester United, he once had a conflict with Cristiano, and the two sides were almost on the verge of fighting. The specific reason was clear to Juan, but the two men hooked up again in the European Cup. What, this made Juan can only say, it's great that the striker has no brains!Especially when my friend is also a brainless striker...

Cristiano ran to chat with Van Nistelrooy, and the two talked lively, as if they had made some agreement. When he came back, Cristiano was already full of excitement, waving his fists with great interest: "Juan, Let's show Holland a little bit!"

"What?" Juan patted his head, "What did the two of you just say that irritated you?"

"Fonny said that we are nothing more than that, and that we are just bullying weak teams..." Cristiano vividly imitated Ruud's tone of voice. To be honest, his imitation was not at all similar but a bit funny, but that's enough enough.

Juan took it seriously. He glanced at Fanny and asked in a low voice, "He really said that?"

"Yes!" Cristiano was elated, "How, shall we teach them a lesson?!"

"Okay."

"We will focus on Van Nistelrooy a little later on the court... Wait, what do you agree?" Cristiano was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses, "Really?!"

Juan chuckled, and patted the young man on the head: "Wait a minute and pay attention to the movement, I won't remind you a second time."

"Okay, okay!!" The young man was obviously very excited, nodding repeatedly, expressing that he would definitely pay attention! "By the way, should we come and think of a celebration?"

"..." Juan narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just to stimulate Fanny..." Cristiano chuckled.

"Welcome everyone to Nuremberg to watch the fourth round of the World Cup, Portugal vs. Netherlands!!"

"Portugal and the Netherlands can be said to have had a long-standing grievance. The two teams often meet in various competitions, which makes people have to lament the fate. They are all underdogs, and Portugal can always win."

"Van Basten is a very good player, but he is not big enough in the field of coaching. Let us look forward to what he can do when the game starts!"

"The players of the two teams have already assembled in the player tunnel. When the acquainted players greet each other, I don't know if they will say a few provocative words? Oops... It seems that they will. We have already seen Ruud van Nistelrooy using staring Looking at the back of the Portuguese team, who is he staring at, Juan Dias? Or Cristiano Ronaldo? If I ask him, he should be staring at Ronaldo. After all, part of the reason why he left Manchester United is him... "

If Fanny could hear this commentary, he would definitely grab the other party by the collar and roar.

He was indeed staring at Cristiano Ronaldo!

But that's because the brat wanted to run up to him to celebrate after scoring a goal!

And bring Juan Diaz along!

It's too deceiving! !

If it weren't for the fight before the start of the game, he would definitely be unable to even go to the court, Ruud really wanted to beat that kid up...

Figo also felt the murderous aura. He looked back and knew it, but at the same time he called Carvalho to stand behind him.

There is no other meaning, that is, when the opponent wants to fight, Juan and Cristiano can have someone to protect them...

Carvalho didn't know the deep meaning of it, he just thought that his captain wanted him to go to the back to watch these two people and prevent them from causing any trouble, so when he stood back, he was very serious, which made Juan And Cristiano are a little inexplicable.

what happened?

The two of them originally wanted to tease Carvalho, but Juan's expression changed, and he suddenly pulled out of his relaxed state, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone. At the beginning, Cristiano was a little Inexplicable, but soon found the reason under Juan's eyes - the camera came over.

The pre-match live broadcast is a common practice in all major competitions, especially in the player channel. This time it came suddenly. Fortunately, Juan reacted quickly and was not photographed, while Cristiano and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who seemed to react slowly It's more tragic.

"Both teams are on the pitch... We can see that Portugal seems to be hesitating between playing the youth storm and continuing to trust the veterans. Their starting list is exactly the same as in the first game. No one has changed. Ricardo; Varen Te, Carvalho, Canela, Ferreira; Costinha, Juan Diaz, Deco, Figo; Ronaldo, Gomez... Familiar lineup, familiar formation, Portugal finally I am willing to use this formation again!"

"Juan Diaz and Deco finally appeared on the court together again. Their cooperation is unforgettable, but what I am more curious now is whether Portugal has solved the problem of possession of the ball. When the two are on the pitch together, we can clearly see Juan’s concessions, and maybe it’s this kind of team spirit that allowed Portugal to complete the feat of six goals.”

"And the Dutch team also sent their strongest lineup - Van der Sar; Ariens, Beolarouz, Mattison, Van Blundhorst; Van Bommel, Van der Vaart, Robben; Ruud van Nistelroo Iraq, Dirk, Van Persie."

"It's really surprising. It seems that Van Basten is much bolder than we imagined. He brought a group of infighting players and also brought a young shooter! Van Persie was in the Arsenal played a total of 28 times and contributed 12 wonderful goals for the fans of the Premier League. I wonder if he can surprise us in the national team? Let us wait and see!"
