tenth

At the end of the game, the Portuguese national team relied on Qiu Ze's luck to defeat the host South Africa team 2-0. They won all three games in the group and advanced to the semi-finals of this Confederations Cup as the first place in the group.

After the game, the players of the Portuguese national team were not very excited, because their promotion was already certain, so there was really nothing to be excited about. Cristiano Ronaldo was in an even worse mood than ever before.

In today's game, he was very attentive and worked very hard. He wanted to use his superhuman performance to surpass Qiu Ze and make him the key player of the Portuguese national team and the biggest contributor to the Portuguese national team's championship.

He worked really hard in this game, and everyone saw it. But he was also unlucky, and everyone saw it. Today Cristiano Ronaldo created many excellent opportunities.

In the last moment, I missed the goal due to bad luck.

Qiu Ze also worked very hard today, but his efforts were richly rewarded. It is a natural thing that you will get what you put in, but at this moment, everyone feels that it does not seem so commendable. After all, Qiu Ze's

Happiness is built on Cristiano Ronaldo's pain.

After winning this game, the players of the Portuguese national team did not cheer for joy. On the contrary, their defeated South Africans started a carnival. They jumped up with great excitement and shouted long live long live long live long live.

Although the South African team lost to the Portuguese national team in the final round of the group stage, they still gained the right to qualify in the group. That was because the Asian champion Iraq team tied with the New Zealand team in the final game.

Bi Lingping gave up such a good opportunity to the South Africans in vain.

At the end of Group A, the two teams that have advanced to the next round have been selected. They are the Portuguese national team and the South African national team.

On the day after the Group A group stage matches ended, the final round of Group B matches also began. The two games started at the same time. The Portuguese national team wanted to examine the opponents of the Portuguese national team in the semi-finals, so Queiroz

I went to the site in person the next day.

The players of the Portuguese national team stayed in the hotel to watch the live broadcast. Although the Portuguese had a rest on this day, they did not have nothing to do. They had to observe their next opponent in front of the TV.

Although at this time, they still don’t know who their next opponent will be? There are only a few teams in Group B, and the Brazilian team has almost secured first place in the group. The remaining teams are Egypt and the United States.

If the chance is greater, the Italian national team basically has no chance.

From the perspective of the players of the Portuguese national team, this is because the current strength of the Italian national team is really poor.

In the first two rounds of competition, the Brazilian national team ranked first with two wins. The Egyptian team and the American team both won one and lost one, but the Egyptian team has an advantage in goal difference, so now they are temporarily ranked second, with Italy two

Having lost all the games and ranking last, we have lost the qualification to qualify.

The matches in Group B started at the same time. Brazil and the Italian national team did not play smoothly. The Italian national team surprised everyone at the beginning. If the Italian national team played like this from the beginning of the group stage, they would not be able to return the favor.

Will I get a qualifying spot?

In the 19th minute of the first half, the Italian national team's forward Quagliarella succeeded in a long shot from the front of the penalty area, helping the team take the lead. For a time, people saw the hope of victory, but the second half of the game started

Later, when the Brazilian team showed their strength, Kaka and Maicon's goals helped the team successfully complete the reversal.

The Brazilian team won all three group games and ranked first in the group, advancing directly to the knockout rounds. This is not the highlight of Group B, but the game between the United States and Egypt. The result of the game between the two teams determines who will be the winner.

The winner of the second team in the group to advance will also be the opponent of the Portuguese national team in the semi-finals.

Therefore, Queiroz and the players of the Portuguese national team are watching this game. They need to understand their opponents so that they can win every battle through knowing themselves and the enemy.

The two sides played very fiercely from the beginning of this game. The two teams fought hard for this qualifying spot. The competition in the stadium was also very fierce, and wonderful scenes emerged one after another. In the 30th minute of the first half,

At that time, the Egyptian team opened the scoring and took the lead. The Egyptian team was very close to advancing.

However, the situation changed suddenly in the second half. The American team started to exert its strength in the second half of the game and scored two goals in the second half of the second half. It completed a shocking reversal and defeated the Egyptian team with a score of 2 to 1, successfully advancing to the Confederations Cup.

of the semi-finals.

In this way, the Group B match has ended, and the promoted teams have also emerged, that is, Brazil and the United States. With the emergence of the four qualifying teams, the semi-finals of this Confederations Cup have also come out.

The Portuguese national team, ranked first in Group A, will face the United States, ranked second in Group B, and the Brazilian team, ranked first in Group B, will face the South African team ranked second in Group A.

As soon as this match came out, the Portuguese national team began to prepare for the next game. Because the game between them and the United States team was preceded by another semi-final, this game will be in Bloemford, South Africa.

Dan proceeds.

Bloemfontein is the judicial capital of South Africa and the capital of the Orange Natural State. It is located in the central plateau and is the geographical center of the country. It is surrounded by hills and has hot summers and cold winters with frost. It was originally a fortress and was officially established in 1846.

The city was built. It is now an important transportation hub. The word Bloemfontein originally meant "the root of flowers". The city has undulating hills and beautiful scenery.

What is interesting is that one of the three capitals in South Africa is the administrative capital Pretoria and the legislative capital Cape Town, while Bloemfontein is the legal capital. South Africa is also the only country in the world today that has three capitals.

A country with a capital city.

Bloemfontein is located in a dry grassland, but there are many gardens in the city, the most famous of which is the 120-hectare Kings Park. Its population is about half a million, and it has the highest concentration of white people in South Africa today.

The city is also known as the most livable city in South Africa because of its low crime rate and the high quality of life it can provide people.

Being able to compete in such a place is a good thing for the players of the Portuguese national team. At least they don’t have to be as frightened as they are now. The hotel where the Portuguese national team is staying is full of state agents and agents sent by the Portuguese government.

Special forces look very dangerous.

However, even if they have to go through a city with a relatively low crime rate, the agents and special forces who travel with the Portuguese national team are still very cautious. These players of the Portuguese national team are considered national treasures for Portugal. Of course,

It must be well protected.

In particular, Cristiano Ronaldo and Qiu Ze are the two guys they focus on for protection. Therefore, before the Portuguese national team went to Bloemfontein, some of the agents and special forces had already gone there to familiarize themselves with the environment.

After arriving at the hotel where the Portuguese national team stayed in Bloemfontein, the Portuguese national team had no training content that day. Their task was to rest, and then there would be training tasks the next day. Including the game the day after tomorrow,

In fact, the Portuguese national team only has one day of training, so the time is still very tight.

This is even tighter for the U.S. team. They have one less day of rest than the Portuguese national team. Before the U.S. team came to Bloemfontein, the head coach of the U.S. team, Bradley, complained that they were better than Portugal.

The national team had one less day off, which they felt was unfair, not fair at all.

This is the case in every major competition. There will always be teams whose head coaches complain about missing a day off and think the organizers are unfair. But there is no way, the schedule is arranged this way.

The players of the Portuguese national team were also tired that day, so they rested in the hotel where they stayed. The next day, the Portuguese national team started training. This training was not a closed training. The current Portuguese national team is very different from other teams.

There are no secrets anymore, so what else is there to hide?

On that day, many local fans in Bloemfontein came to watch the training of the Portuguese national team outside the training ground of the Portuguese national team. Of course, many reporters also came to the scene to observe the current situation of the Portuguese national team.

The U.S. team's side was much deserted. Although the players of the U.S. team felt very uncomfortable. But this was indeed what Bradley, the head coach of the U.S. national team, wanted to see most. He really didn't want any attention.

, the less anyone pays attention to them, the more mysterious they are and the more opportunities they have.

The Portuguese national team is full of people, and people are paying attention to the performance of the Portuguese national team players. Especially Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo. These two people have received a lot of attention. As long as these two people

Every move of a hand and foot can trigger bursts of screams.

This made the other players of the Portuguese national team jealous. However, they were also happy and relaxed, because as soon as the training was over, the fans rushed up in droves to take photos with Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Asking them for autographs. Even reporters who had been waiting aside frantically rushed towards them, surrounding the two people and seeking interviews.

That's called a crowd, that's called a sea of ​​people. It's really difficult for these two guys to squeeze out. However, fortunately there is the protection of security personnel, otherwise it is possible for these two guys to be trampled to death. At this time, the Portuguese country

The other players on the team felt a little better.

When Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the hotel where they were staying, they felt that they were exhausted. This was much more tiring than playing a football match. They had no extra energy to do it now.

Among other things, the only thing they want to do now is sleep.

The semi-final match will start tomorrow night. The Portuguese national team attaches great importance to this. They are here to win the championship. Therefore, at this time, the Portuguese national team has a tactical meeting in the evening. This is Qiu Ze.

And Cristiano Ronaldo yelled "Oh no!"
