"After the Greek team lost to us 0-4, the Chinese team and Greece are now accumulating one point, and Mexico and us both accumulate four points."

In the locker room of the Brazilian team, Emerson did his own analysis. Although this job should be done by the captain more often, Cafu did not come in this Confederations Cup. The captain's armband of the national team , Worn on Ronaldinho’s arm-this is purely a decoration. It is difficult to expect him to do the captain’s responsibilities. Therefore, Emerson said these words, "Worst case, if Greece and China can separate the winners and losers. , They will have a party that also reaches four points and scores the same with us. And our current goal difference is 4, China is -2, Greece is -4. In other words, according to the worst-case scenario, ours In a game, if we lose three goals, our goal difference is one. If China wants to surpass us, we need to score four. If it is three, we score more goals, and they will be eliminated as well. If Greece wants to surpass us..."

"Don't forget this, right? Greece's frontcourt is all messed up, it's impossible to do anything. It's impossible to score seven or eight in a game," Kaka said.

"In other words, our team is set to qualify...Who wants to go out with me at night? There are a lot of fun places nearby..."

"Last game, we play seriously." Ronaldinho interrupted Ronaldo, his face still smiling, but his expression became firm.

"Why? We don't have to play seriously. And... you should understand that if we really win and Mexico is eliminated, the biggest beneficiary is likely to be the Chinese team." Adriano asked. "If the Chinese team qualify, it will be very unfavorable for you to compete for the Golden Globes."

"Could it be that we lost the last game, and by means of destroying the Chinese team, will my possibility of competition greatly increase?" Ronaldinho asked rhetorically.

"What are you worried about? I'm afraid that after the Chinese team is eliminated, they will be told to the outside world that they are eliminated because we deliberately played tacitly. This is no one believes this, especially because we may not be able to make sure to qualify, just in case. Did they get four?" Lucio said to Ronaldinho.

"Isn't it a boring and meaningless quarrel?" Ronaldinho asked back, "This is not good. I don't want my first Ballon d'Or award to eliminate competitors by kicking a match. It's something—the media will definitely say that, and I hate it."

"But you should know that people's requirements for the Chinese team are much lower than those for the Brazilian team. As long as he can lead the team to the finals, then even if we win the championship, you will not have anything in the final national team performance. The advantage is at all."

"First, do I need the national team's performance as a guise for me? Second, why do they make it to the final? Argentina still has Germany. They are not the opponents that the Chinese team can contend with?" Ronaldinho asked, "I believe me My strength, to compete for the Golden Globe Awards, I also want to come here upright."

"It's really troublesome. It's so simple to lose the Chinese team in the direct group."

"What kind of ability to get the Golden Globe Award by this means?" Ronaldinho waved his hand, "Compared with Brazil and China, I already have a lot of advantage. And tacit ball, I don't want to play like this. To win the prize, I Just take it upright, it should be mine, it must be mine, no matter who comes, it can't be taken away."——

Before the third game, China played against Greece and Mexico played against Brazil, the Chinese team was basically about to give up. Against the South American champions, relying on the opponent's carelessness to draw, and against the Central and North American champions, it was no surprise to lose, and now against the better-level European champions, everyone can already guess the result.

The same is true for Zhao Yaning: after the game, he went to Kaka to change his jersey, and hoped that he would be able to come out with another goddess, but in the end, Kaka’s jersey brought him a'point card', point Ball ability 3. This made Zhao Yaning annoyed what to say.

However, his luck was really not so good. After the second game, he and Borghetti changed their jerseys and got a card called "The King of Headers", header 2.

What kind of luck is this? Can't you give me a good card?

Although there is almost no hope before the game, but when it comes to facing the European Cup champion, the Chinese team has played well and decently.

After all, Greece is not the Greece of a year ago.

Greece was considered a miracle a year ago. Although the media has been propagating that the method they rely on is to defend and fight back, in fact, Greece at that time was actually a strong team. At that time, Greece had at least 25 minutes of attack in every game. Not only that, they also did a good job of large-scale frontcourt transfer. The Greeks originally had the advantage of excellent physical conditions, and their tactics were reasonable. , The arrangement was excellent and came to the back of the group in the European Cup. Although their journey along the way is not pretty, they can't be said to be a guarded team.

But after a year, the Greek team became a completely unguarded team.

Their frontcourt attack line has collapsed. Although Zhao Yaning didn't know why, but sometimes when he chatted with his old teammates, Zicos once mentioned that the locker room of the Greek national team was far less harmonious than imagined. On the eve of the 2004 European Cup, they also had an infight in January. The traditional giants in Greece have always had contradictions, and this contradiction has also been brought to the Greek team. The Greek team, although it cannot be said that it has plummeted, but it can be said that they are no longer the magic of the European Cup. In the world preliminaries, their situation is very miserable: they have been suppressed by Ukraine, Turkey, and Denmark in the group, and it is estimated that they will miss the World Cup. This team has faded its magic and returned to its usual state. It can even be said that it is slightly worse than usual: after all, many of their players have tried to develop abroad after last year. But this year, their development has not been very smooth. They have no main position and cannot play in the game, which directly caused their level to decline.

In this game, although relying on tactical cooperation, they can still defend Zhao Yaning's continuous assaults, but they can't play any effective attacks. In fact, in Zhao Yaning's view, they had no intention of launching an attack at all. Until the end of the first half, they did not even launch an attack. Taking into account their 0-0 game against Mexico and 0-4 against Brazil, it is estimated that they have no idea and ability to attack.

This makes Zhao Yaning a lot bolder. When encountering European champions, one should naturally be careful. But if the other party has become a dead dog, there is nothing to be afraid of. He directly led the Chinese team to attack in the second half of the game. In the second half, the Chinese team finally got a chance-Zhao Yaning tried to break through after receiving Shao Jiayi's pass.

Zhao Yaning pulled the ball with his right foot and turned back. A Marseille maneuver was used naturally. At this time, the two Greek defenders rushed over and blocked his turning space. However, Zhao Yaning, who turned around, pushed the ball with his left foot, and when the Greek player was attracted to grab the ball, he pulled the ball with one step, a move of a bull's tail, which caused him to turn a small half circle to the left, and then pulled the ball with his left foot. , A reverse Marseille roundabout.

This action made the defensive player stunned for a while, and failed to follow up in time. And it was this empty moment that flashed out that gave Zhao Yaning the opportunity to shoot!

"Zhao Yaning scored! Zhao Yaning scored a key goal for the Chinese team! This is the most likely game for the Chinese team to win this Confederations Cup! If this game wins, the Chinese team still has Chance to enter the knockout rounds and even the finals!"

This goal did make the Chinese team end the game with a 1-0 victory. At the same time, they also received the result of another game.

Brazil defeated Mexico 3-0 and ranked first in the group with seven points. The Mexican team has four points and a goal difference of -1. The Chinese team has four points and a goal difference of -1. Both sides have the same points and the same goal difference. According to the Confederations Cup regulations, the goal difference is the same. The number of balls, then look at each other's record. China scored three goals in three games, and Mexico scored only two goals in three games. The Chinese team surpassed Mexico in the number of goals. Therefore, the Chinese team entered the knockout round at the last minute.

"This is really incredible." Zhao Yaning also felt unimaginable for such a result. During the interview, he also shook his head again and again, "I really didn't expect that we would be able to advance to the knockout round. I thought, scared. After blocking the game, we will be eliminated and go home... But, obviously, we once again prove that football is round and anything can happen."

When the enthusiastic media asked him whether he was confident of winning the championship, he could only smile bitterly, "I can only say, do my best. I hope to win the championship, and I will work hard in this direction. But I can’t guarantee the final result.”

After saying this, in the evening, Zhao Yaning received a call from Ronaldinho~lightnovelpub.net~ What is called and what can happen? Obviously thank me! This is my credit! It was I who let the Brazilian team play well to make you qualify! "

"Thank you." Zhao Yaning didn't know what to say. He knew how great it was for Ronaldinho to do this. He and himself are competing for the Golden Globe Award. If he really wants to yin himself, then the Brazilian team will deliberately lose, and the Chinese team will be eliminated. Although the Confederations Cup is not of great significance to the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, if you are really eliminated from the group, then in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, you will have to be evaluated. And Ronaldinho's help to himself is indeed very big, and it is also Zhao Yaning's luck to have such an opponent.

"You guy is so boring...but, play well." Ronaldinho said on the other end of the phone, "This year's Golden Globe Award, but we two competed. I don't want to get the Golden Globe Award. Don’t let me get the Golden Globe Award without any difficulty.”

"Don't be too self-confident." Zhao Yaning replied, "The Golden Globe Award may not belong to anyone."

"I won't worry about you." Ronaldinho replied, "You have to be the next opponent, but the Germans. Do you also know the habits of the Germans? They play weak teams, always chopping melons and vegetables. Think about your Asian compatriots, the Saudi team, I feel sad for you."
