Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 78

The Portuguese national news agency Lusa even issued a brief message: "Red Eagles Benfica have suffered a major defeat, and the league title is far away."

Benfica, one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League, has been kicked out of this season's championship sequence!
Although there are still 13 games left in the league, the total league standings at this time: Porto 43 points, Sporting Lisbon 42 points, Boavista 42 points, Benfica 37 points, Braga 36 points.

Porto was tied 0:0 by Guimarães at home, and the two strong teams behind them approached. Boavista from Porto has replaced Benfica and has become one of the three favorite teams competing for the league championship. .

The Portuguese Super League, except for a few seasons, has always been the two giants of Lisbon teaming up to attack Porto, presenting a north-south confrontation, a situation where the south is strong and the north is weak. Hovering behind Qiang.

This season, after 2001, there has once again been a trend of weak south and strong north. The two teams in the northern city of Porto joined forces to block Sporting Lisbon.

Inside the Benfica club, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

The Italian coach Trapattoni should have realized the mistakes he made. He let the team fall from the top position after the 17th round of the league to the fourth place, and it is far away from the top three teams. The 0:3 loss to Braga in the last game caused the team's morale to drop. In this situation, can they still concentrate their efforts on the Europa League?
However, everyone knows that at times like this, no matter how difficult it is, you have to grit your teeth and hold on.

The fifth day after the match against Braga was the day when the team challenged CSKA Moscow in an away game. This battle really put Benfica on the edge of a cliff.

CSKA Moscow, a team with a strong style, is also a team that all Latin teams are frustrated with.

To make matters worse, this game is away, Moscow in February, still belongs to winter!It is the northernmost part of the northern hemisphere, and it is very cold. The team in the warm southern European region is very uncomfortable with the climate there. Portugal is a typical southern European country...

In this atmosphere, Ronando, who had just become energetic because of the easing of his relationship with Yang Xiaotong, did not dare to make a mistake.

He obediently hid in the club, honestly participated in the team's training, and actively trained himself with a few teammates in order to make himself more capable, and at the same time gain the favor of coach Trapattoni.

However, Ronando took the opportunity to get his wish and drove the little pepper Carolina, who had occupied his territory for half a month, back to his home.

"Carolina, the old man's face is black now. You come to me every day, if the old man thinks that you and I are in that... that indoor exercise every day, I will probably kill me! Let me go to youth The team reports."

"Rogue!... If you can't play this time, will it affect your selection to the U21 national team?"

"Sure! Not only will it be affected by not being able to play, but if I can't score goals when I play, it is estimated that Antonio Oliveira will not want me."

"So serious? Well, then I won't come these days. You must try to score a few more goals so that you can be selected."

"Well. Carolina, can you take this reclining chair back too? I see that you like to lie in this chair very much, you must like it very much, right? Maybe, when the old man comes to check the room and sees this cartoon-patterned chair, there will be something wrong. good idea?"

"Cut! Don't try to deceive children! Mr. Trapattoni never comes to rounds! This chair is here... It's too troublesome to move around."

"Well, this chair looks soft, and it's probably a comfortable place to rest your feet..."

"!you dare!"

Ronando did not dare to offend Carolina, but he often made this little girl jump with anger in words. Carolina is a child at heart, and her anger quickly dissipates quickly. Ronando has nothing to do with this nominal little girlfriend. After a long time, I can only let it go, except that I can't stand the voice of her always loving to watch cartoons, other things can be tolerated.

Benfica's schedule during the period of mid-to-late February is too troublesome.

The two adjacent Thursdays are the Europa League knockout rounds of Cyclamen. The fourth day after the two games is the league. Both Guimaraes and Porto are difficult teams to deal with. A few mistakes will cause A remake of the match against Braga.

From Portugal to Moscow, that is, across the entire northern hemisphere, the distance is long, and you have to participate in the competition. This is an expedition.

It is basically certain that most of the players who participated in the away game against CSKA Moscow will not be able to play in the next game against Guimaraes. The two games are only 4 days apart, and the physical fitness of the players simply does not allow it. If you force your way out, you can only become a soft-legged shrimp.

This is also the reason why the Portuguese media believe that Benfica has been eliminated from the competition for the league championship. After the battle with Porto at the end of the month, Benfica still does not know where it will fall in the standings. What qualifications does it have to talk about the championship.

Benfica, who had a last stand, set off from Lisbon. Although the Benfica fans were in mixed feelings, they still came to see them off. The scene was tragic.

Trapattoni: "There are many difficulties. CSKA Moscow plays fiercely, which is a football style that Portuguese teams fear. The time of the game is also very unfortunate. From 21:23 to 3:[-] in the evening, the temperature may be very cold. Our players You have to be mentally prepared. The Russian league starts in March and they can concentrate, while we have to be distracted by the domestic league. None of this is good news."

"Of course, Benfica's difficulties seem to be much more than that. There are also injuries to Nuno Gomez and Pedro Mantolas."

"Everything is against us. But! We have the fighting spirit! I firmly believe that my team can win! No matter how difficult it is, I will not back down! I know, maybe many people say behind their backs, Italians, You came to the wrong Benfica, you can't save this team."

"But! Giovanni Trapattoni will tell you what real football is! We'll come back victorious!"

Trapattoni's speech at the airport, like a speech, was full of momentum, but people didn't see the real content, everything was blurred.

However, as one of the three Portuguese teams still fighting in the Europa League, not only Benfica fans, but even the hostile Sporting Lisbon fans also expressed their blessings to Benfica, only at this time, all Portuguese will stand Together, and that's the benefit of being a small country, they tend to be more united than big ones.

If Trapattoni is the head coach of a certain team in the Premier League, La Liga, or Serie A, he may be blasted by the media, but in Portugal, he has received full blessings.

Not only the expeditionary Benfica, but also Sporting Lisbon, which played at home on Wednesday, also received unanimous support from the Portuguese.

The honor of Portuguese football often relies on these two teams, as well as Porto who will play in the Champions League on the next European match day. The success or failure of these three teams represents the success or failure of Portuguese football.

这场欧联杯客场比赛的时间是2月17日晚21时，本菲卡提前两天，也就是2月15日就从国内出发了。

Compared with other away teams in Europe, Benfica's biggest enemy is not CSKA Moscow, but the severe cold in Moscow. According to the weather forecast, the temperature in Moscow at night at this time is about minus 10 degrees Celsius. For Portuguese players who have experienced the warm climate in southern Europe, this is an extremely terrifying temperature!

Therefore, Benfica must rush to that northern city as soon as possible to adapt to the local cold weather, otherwise, just the severe cold can cause the team to collapse.

The Benfica players took the Lufthansa flight at 10:7 am, the flight time is about 17 hours, and they will arrive at Moscow Domodedovo International Airport at [-]:[-] pm.

On the plane, Captain Simao walked around the cabin, reminding his teammates from time to time: "Hey! Sleep as long as you can! When you arrive in Moscow, you may not be able to sleep well. Save some energy, and you can run faster during the race!"

Ronando asked strangely: "Captain, why can't you sleep well?"

"Oh! Rookie, don't read those magazines, you are the one I am most worried about! You have never been out of Portugal in your life, and you rarely encounter temperatures below 0°C, let alone minus 10°C. Your The body will tell you that it's having a hard time, and it may refuse to work properly."

Of course Ronando understood Simao's meaning, but is the temperature of minus 10°C terrible?

In the small county where Ronando grew up, because it is an inland area, the winter is much colder than in Lisbon. Although the low temperature of minus 10°C is rare, the temperature of minus 4~5°C is commonplace. Now with this unusually strong body, it should be no problem to resist the cold in Moscow in February. It is estimated that he can be regarded as the most cold-resistant player in the Benfica team.

However, there was no way to explain this matter to Simao, and Ronando didn't explain it either, so he went to bed quickly. After all, the trip to Moscow was not easy, and it would be good to have a little more stamina.

In a daze, Ronando was awakened by the whispering voices of several teammates around him.

"Beautiful! She's an angel!"

"Oh, she's Mona Lisa...Captain, I bet 100 euros if you can get her phone number."

"Damn! If I had her phone, I wouldn't be cheap you guys! Oh, what a figure... She must be Nordic, bubbling, oh I'm suffocating!"

This is Simao's complacent voice. It is obvious that the group of perverts have found a superb beauty. Captain Simao wants to strike up a conversation, but he is a little timid.

A beauty who can make Simao timid?Ronando raised his body and followed the gazes of several people towards the connection of the cabin...

Slightly curly long dark brown hair, a short black leather jacket, revealing the hem of the red lace turtleneck shirt inside, and a pair of ordinary jeans set off her slender legs. It is a tall young Caucasian girl who looks The height is close to 180CM, which is considered very tall even among European women.

Immediately afterwards, Ronando saw the girl's face...
