Chapter 92 Successor

Sweden vs Portugal.

That's not what Ibrahimovic said, especially when his opponent is Cristiano Ronaldo, and he will never admit defeat.

Before the game, Ibrahimovic also said that Sweden can defeat Portugal and eventually win the World Cup. This guy is so arrogant. Although he was defeated by Ronaldo, he is now more eager to win.

"It is very difficult to beat this Swedish team. It is difficult to score goals from us. If we can continue our previous performance, Sweden will have a good chance. But the most important thing now is not how good this Swedish team is. It’s great, but there are a lot of distractions in both teams right now because this is the quarterfinals. The team that can handle the distractions in the team well will have an advantage.”

"I'm Swedish and I believe Sweden can beat Portugal, I think Sweden can become world champions, like I said before the World Cup started. We beat Mexico, which is a strong team, and then we beat Switzerland .So we succeeded even though no one thought we would."

"We believe in ourselves and have a strong team spirit and hopefully we can continue to do that. All Swedes in the world will be proud of our national team and we will continue to be proud of everyone."

Originally he had withdrawn from the national team, but for the sake of the country, he came back. Although he is older, no one dares to underestimate him.

But when it comes to competition with Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic is even tougher.

"We lost to them in the qualifying round five years ago, but this time we will definitely be the winner. In fact, I don't think they are that strong, and Ronaldo is also old, almost as old as me, but I am better than He’s stronger!”

"You just said that Sweden has the ability to win the world championship. So if Sweden meets China, do you think it can beat China?"

Ibrahimovic couldn't answer this. Doesn't this mean asking him if he can defeat Dong Fangzhuo? He dared to shout out to Cristiano Ronaldo, but to shout out to Dong Fangzhuo? No one in this world dared to be so arrogant, including him, so his tone softened instantly.

"That is a huge challenge, I think it is possible, we have the height advantage, we play more holistically... Germany and Spain can both go home in the group stage, what else is impossible?"

On the other side, Cristiano Ronaldo also attended the press conference, showing the same sharpness.

“A coach once said that our team is easy to analyze but hard to beat, and I think that’s the best description of our team. It’s not hard to understand our team, but our belief is very difficult. Strong, from the beginning."

The Portugal captain said: "We are a team and we are united on and off the field, which is the reason for our amazing success. We are not strong on paper, but as a team we have achieved good results and that is why we have achieved amazing success." Belongs to all of us."

Ronaldo also said: "Set-pieces will be the X factor and we need to pay attention to that."

When talking about Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo is naturally confident, "If we beat them five years ago, we will definitely beat them five years later! We will not give them any chance."

"I said before that you and Dong had an agreement?"

Ronaldo smiled, "Yes, we have an agreement, so I must not break the agreement. This may be my last World Cup. I must go all out. My teammates also told me that they will fight with me!" "

※※※※

Dong Fangzhuo's appearance at the Samara Cosmos Arena aroused huge cheers from the Portuguese fans at the scene. Portuguese sports commentator Figo immediately laughed and said, "I really can't imagine why the two of them are not married. I wonder if their wives will be jealous? They are more like a couple."

"I hope his arrival can also inspire Ronaldo and lead the team to the semi-finals of the World Cup. We have not been to the semi-finals of the World Cup for many years. This time is the best opportunity. Across Sweden, we may only have Croatia left. .”

"I predict this game will be 3:2.

Portugal advances to the semi-finals. "Figo smiled evilly. This score makes people think about it. Isn't it the same score that defeated Sweden five years ago?

Dong Fangzhuo was just sitting in the ordinary stands, and the surrounding Portuguese fans rudely ran over to take photos with him and asked for his autograph.

For Portuguese fans, they treat Dong Fangzhuo as half Portuguese because of his relationship with Ronaldo. Dong Fangzhuo also received a banner with Ronaldo's name on it from a Portuguese fan. Then Dong Fangzhuo very cooperatively held a banner in front of the camera to cheer for Ronaldo.

On this day, he is just an ordinary fan, a fan of Portugal and Ronaldo.

After the game started, Portugal was actually suppressed by Sweden in the half-court, and the situation was passive. This was something that many people did not expect. Many Portuguese fans were very worried, but Dong Fangzhuo looked very relaxed. Isn’t Portugal always like this? The Swedish team's high-flying attack seems to be very fierce, and there is a famous player like Zlatan Ibrahimovic in front of them, but the offensive efficiency is not high.

They pressed Portugal for nearly half an hour without making any achievements, and then in the 31st minute, Portugal seized the opportunity to counterattack. Seat B sent a diagonal pass from the right, Guedes quickly jumped in from the left, Ronaldo outflanked him in the middle, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal. Portugal took a 1:0 lead.

Sweden, which was lagging behind, still had nothing to do in the first half.

The second half changed sides and the battle resumed. In the 60th minute, Portugal's veteran coach Santos replaced him with a young player. Many Portuguese fans could not even pronounce his name. His name was Felix. He had only played for less than three minutes. The 18-year-old Felix ran with the ball from his own penalty area on the right, then broke into the Swedish team's penalty area and selflessly passed the ball to Ronaldo, who scored twice.

2:0.

The Swedish team has lost its momentum and there is almost no chance of a comeback, while Portugal's promotion is in sight. Just when people thought the game would end with a score of two goals, the young Felix once again amazed the world. After Ronaldo knocked the ball to him on the left side of the penalty area, he continued to dribble the ball and stop and change direction. He passed two Swedish defenders and then passed the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal.

!

In the stands, Dong Fangzhuo not only stood up and applauded.

Cristiano Ronaldo has found a successor, and this kid will never run away. Ronaldo was lucky to find a successor at the end of his career.

And where is my successor? Dong Fangzhuo looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a little sad...

Looking for your successor in China? It’s really difficult.

Shouldn't it be that if no new leader emerges, he will continue to play, right?

Playing in the 2022 World Cup at the age of 37? What if I'm still playing football at the age of 41...
