"The era of the golden generation has passed. Scolari really made a good move." Looking at the Portuguese players walking to the sidelines in despair amidst boos, George shook his head and sighed, "After this game, the golden generation I'm afraid Figo is the only one left in the generation who can still stay in the main lineup."
Although he sighed at the scene in front of him, George did not feel any regret. Perhaps the former golden generation did make a huge contribution to the development and prosperity of Portuguese football, but as they grow older and decline in form, these players have become a stubborn force hindering the progress of Portuguese football!
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo came on as a substitute in this game and recovered a point for Portugal before the end. For example, Anderson Deco, who decided to become Portuguese nationality only after Scolari's persuasion. In terms of ability and the state they have shown this season, these players will never be worse than the two starters Quaresma and Rui Costa, and Big Phil also prefers Ronaldo and the others to be the main players. But what's the result? Under the strong opposition of old men like Figo and Costa, Scolari was unable to arrange his troops according to his wishes and put them on the bench.
And now, as Portugal lost in the opening game, the reputation of the golden generation was seriously damaged again. Scolari, who had been retreating before advancing, finally found the opportunity to control the locker room!
Perhaps at this moment, most people are still in disbelief at Portugal's upset loss to Greece, but George clearly realizes that Portugal's defeat in this game will become a real sign of the golden generation of players. The turning point from prosperity to decline!
After this defeat, Portugal's golden generation lost its voice in the national team almost overnight. Rui Costa and Fernando Couto, two veterans of the golden generation, lost their main positions in the national team under a lot of scolding. Deco, Carvalho and others who were excluded by them got the opportunity to rise to the top. Faced with the sudden changes in the situation and public opinion environment, Figo could only accept his fate and choose to obey Scolari's arrangements.
It can be said that this defeat in the opening game may not be a bad thing for Portugal. At least, this team, which has been dominated by the golden generation for a long time, finally has the possibility of updating after losing to Greece.
George will not say that the reason why he dislikes these players of the golden generation is because Cristiano Ronaldo was suppressed by Figo and others in the national team. Otherwise, he would not bother to pay attention to the messy things in the Portuguese team.
At the same time, in another group match in Group A, Spain, which had half a home advantage, faced Russia, which was declining, but failed to win as easily as people expected before the game. Spanish coach Sais entrusted him with The important "Lord of the Rings" Raul continued his poor form in Real Madrid this season and had no aura at all on the court. As a result, the Matadors did not resolve the battle until the 59th minute with the goal of substitute Belleron. .
Of course, Portugal is not the only strong team to suffer an upset. No, in the first round of Group C two days later, Italy, who was regarded as the favorite to win the championship, had a goalless draw with Denmark at the Enrique Stadium in Guimarães and shook hands with the score of 0-0. A moderate upset. After the game, Trapattoni's conservative and personnel strategies once again attracted unanimous condemnation from the media and fans. Totti's spitting at Danish midfielder Paulson during the game not only caused the Prince of Rome himself to be suspended for three games by UEFA. The heavy penalty on the field forced Italy and Trapattoni to face the embarrassing situation of losing their core midfielder!
As for the England team that George should be paying most attention to, they also encountered Waterloo in the first game of the group stage. Facing the French team led by Zidane, Lampard received a header from Beckham's free kick in the 38th minute. The success helped England establish a one-goal lead, and the Three Lions indeed maintained this advantage until the game entered stoppage time. However, Zidane stood up in stoppage time and scored two goals through free kicks and penalty kicks, helping France reverse England at the last moment and win this strong dialogue!
"He actually passed the ball back to the goalkeeper when there was a pursuer behind... The choice Gerrard made at the critical moment is really so speechless." Regarding England's defeat, George, who witnessed the entire game with his own eyes, felt in his heart It is extremely regrettable. In his opinion, England had a chance to win this game in advance. Unfortunately, Beckham missed the penalty shot created by Rooney in the second half. It was extremely regrettable that he missed the best opportunity to expand the score.
The most annoying thing is that in the last minute of stoppage time, Gerrard recklessly chose to pass back to goalkeeper David James under pressure from French players. As a result, the ball was intercepted by Henry in the middle, forcing James to tackle him in the penalty area. Henry, this gave Zidane the opportunity to score the go-ahead penalty kick!
Fortunately, Eriksen was not criticized by the media like Trapattoni after the game, but received people's understanding and comfort. After all, the Swedish coach has done everything he should do in this game. If Gerrard hadn't accidentally sent a fatal back pass at the last moment, England would have never been reversed by France!
Therefore, after the game, most of the British media's firepower was focused on Gerrard, who made a super low-level mistake, and they did not criticize the performance of Eriksen and other English players too much.
By the way, despite George's intervention, the trajectory of Tottenham Hotspur and many players has been changed by George. But in this European Cup, at least in the first round of the group stage, Tottenham players generally did not get many performance opportunities-Cristiano Ronaldo, Carrick and Ledley King all sat on the bench. Watch the performances of his teammates on the Internet, and Villa and Luca Toni, who have performed well at Tottenham this season, have not even received call-up orders as head coaches of their respective national teams!
This current situation shows that on the one hand Tottenham still has a long way to go if it wants to become a top giant. At least until they win the top league championship or the Champions League, unless someone is really talented or indispensable in the national team, it is basically difficult for Tottenham players to get the opportunity to become the main force of these football powers. On the other hand, it also disappointed players such as Villa and Toni, who believed that Tottenham would find it difficult to allow them to go further.
While Villa, Toni and others were thinking about their future, the European Cup, which had already suffered two upsets in the first round of the group stage, continued to stage a drama of dark horses - in the second round of Group A In the first round, Greece, which upset the host Portugal in the first round, drew 1-1 with Spain, another strong team in the same group, at the Giza Stadium in Porto, temporarily ranking first in Group A with four points from two games, one win and one draw. name!
Maybe this European Cup will be the closing ceremony for these older generation stars and masters. Looking at the Greek players celebrating the draw on the sidelines and Rehagel with his arms raised high, George couldn't help but think in his heart.
