Chapter 487 The Portuguese’s sleepless nights, defending the European Cup championship
"aoaoaooaooooo——"

Martin scored another goal with a header, extending the score to two goals. The new Wembley Stadium became a sea of ​​joy for Portuguese fans.

Fans who watched the live broadcast of the game knew that this goal also meant that Portugal sealed the victory.

England no longer had any hope of fighting back.

The broadcast screen immediately showed Harry Kane and Southgate.

As the captain and head coach, both of them looked confused and hesitant, obviously knowing that there was no way to save the next game.

Fans organized in various groups in Portugal to watch the European Cup finals shouted hysterically and celebrated wildly for the goal that almost sealed the victory.

The Portuguese brothers and celebrities in the VIP seats of the New Wembley Stadium also vented their feelings. They knew that... there was only more than ten minutes of regular time left to replicate the achievement of Spain, the brother of the Iberian Peninsula, winning three consecutive majors.

Within half a minute, the Portuguese players, who had finished celebrating the goal, returned to their own half and waited for the game to restart.

Of course, they did not want to score more goals, but to bring some psychological pressure to the England team that was two goals behind.

[Let’s see if you are still determined to narrow the point difference. If so, I’m sorry, I have to continue to work hard to make you completely give up your position! 】

The game restarted, and England, which had a kick-off advantage, seemed to accept the reality of losing. They controlled the ball at their feet, but did not blindly pass the ball forward.

The Portuguese team led by Martin focuses on stability, and Ronaldo is constantly reminding his teammates to stay alert and not give the England team a chance to narrow the gap.

There are times when a two-goal lead does not mean a victory is sealed, and may be the most dangerous score.

Once the opponent narrows the point difference, with the morale boosted, it is very possible to score two goals in a row, or even three goals in a row.

Although Martin's team has never seen such a battle, there is something right.

Caution is the boat.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

When the time came to the 80th minute, England still did not pass threatening balls. They mainly focused on reasonable passes. They continued to pass the ball as if they were leading and consumed the game time reasonably.

Portugal, which is leading the score, has no reason to disrupt this balance. Anyway, it is still two goals ahead. As long as the England team does not show a strong desire to score, Portugal, led by Martin, will cooperate and continue the game.

Another five minutes passed and both sides made all three substitutions.

The score displayed on the scoreboard did not change, still 1:3.

England, which has home advantage, is in front, and defending champion Portugal is in the back.

"we are the champion!"

"champion!!"

"champion!!!"

The Portuguese fans gathered in the area and couldn't wait to shout.

"Brothers, take your attention back to me."

"The game is not over yet, we must stay focused!"

"The only one who is ahead of his opponent until the end of the game is the real champion!"

The Portuguese players who were still playing on the court were slightly affected. Martin and Ronaldo respectively reflected the role of spiritual leaders through language.

Some of the excited players were a little ashamed, knowing that their attention was diverted by the fans' chants, and they all returned to the game.

The Englishman's continuous passes did not create an opportunity. Henderson received the football and made a long pass from the right to Kyle Walker. The football flew out of the left side of the Portuguese defense.

England fans who had still had hope in the auditorium began to leave the stadium to vent their strong dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

In the eyes of these fans, it is one thing to be inferior in strength, but it is another thing to be able to fight until the last second.

"aoaoaoaooooo——"

The cheers from the Portuguese fans grew louder and louder, wave after wave.

Starting from the North Stand, Portuguese fans and neutral fans played Mexican waves, fully demonstrating the football culture of the football stadium.

Cancelo calmly ran out of bounds, asked the ball boy for a football, and slowly threw it out.

After receiving the ball, Martin calmly turned 360 degrees on the spot and passed his club teammate Saka, who was attacking him, and then sent a precise long pass to the right.

Seat B unloaded the ball lightly and chose to control the ball when there was an opportunity to move forward.

After all, we were already leading 3:1 and it was an away game, so there was no need to score again.

Ending the whole game with the current score is the best result.

The retreating England press was average, and the Portuguese players passing the ball did not feel the pressure at all.

Against this background, the regular time comes to ninety minutes.

The fourth official came to the sidelines and held up the electronic sign indicating four minutes of injury time.

Everyone knew that the remaining few minutes were just a routine.

as predicted!

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

The time had just reached the fourth minute when referee Kuypers blew his whistle to signal the end of the 2020 European Tour Cup final.

"competition is over!"

"competition is over!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "Portugal defeated England 3:1 at the New Wembley Stadium, successfully defended its title, and officially tied its brother Spain in the Iberian Peninsula, winning three consecutive major tournaments! Two years later The World Cup in Qatar can’t help but give us great expectations.”

"I don't know what the fans in front of the TV feel like, but... what I want to say is..."

Guest commentator Xu Yang laughed and said: "I can't wait for the World Cup in Qatar to come in two years' time!"

The on-site director immediately showed Martin the camera.

There is no doubt that Portugal can defend its title largely because Martin has brought qualitative changes to Portugal.

To use a very fashionable saying, it is: With Martin, there is a championship temperament, and the team without Martin is destined to only fight for the runner-up place.

"we are the champion!!"

The Portuguese fans at the new Wembley Stadium chanted hysterically.

The Portuguese players on the field hugged each other to celebrate winning the European Cup.

Ronaldo was extremely excited. He did not expect to win so many valuable championships in the twilight years of his career.

At this moment, I have made up my mind.

As long as he can win the World Cup in Qatar in two years, he will retire immediately!
The losing England players seemed to have accepted the reality early, and they did not show how uncomfortable they were when they appeared on the broadcast screen.

In fact, it is easy to understand. Their team value is indeed higher than that of Portugal, but in many cases the value does not mean immediate combat effectiveness and requires the players to work together.

Martin's personal ability is outstanding, and he can also stimulate the team's combat effectiveness, thus achieving an effect of 1+1 far greater than 2.

After celebrating the victory with his teammates, Martin walked towards Saka, the younger brother of the club. He put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Bukayo, you are still young and you can complain. When I retire, you can compete for the championship."

Saka felt the captain's comfort and was very happy at first, but after hearing it later...

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

But then again, he knew Martin was right.

If you want to compete for the championship at the national team level, you may have to wait until you retire.

Just thinking that Martin was only six years older made him sigh again.

By that time, I probably won't be in good shape either, and there's a big question mark as to whether I can be shortlisted for the national team.

"Then when will you retire?" Saka suddenly had an idea.

"This... let me think about it..."

Martin really thought about the problem seriously.

He has now dominated the football world, won the championship with ease, is almost as fast at the club level, and only has the national team record left to be broken.

Tied Spain's record of winning three consecutive majors, followed by a record of four consecutive majors.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Italy and Brazil, which had won two consecutive World Cups.

But if you go further up, there are five World Cup champions, Italy and Germany who have won four World Cup champions...

These...are all records that are likely to be broken.

稍稍计算了一下，2022年26岁，2026年30岁，2030年34岁，2034年38岁……

Martin looked at Saka again with apologetic eyes: "The ultimate record I want to break may not be completed until you retire."

Saka: "..."

※※※※※

Portuguese players celebrated winning the European Cup, and UEFA staff also came to the stadium to set up a temporary podium and championship display area.

Not long after, the winning Portuguese players followed international practice and asked stadium security personnel to let their families into the stadium to celebrate their 'hard-won' European Cup championship.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Qiao Mei and Mini Ronaldo hugged each other to celebrate winning the Tour European Cup together.

Martin also hugged his adoptive mother Clara Anna and his girlfriend Savannah Blade respectively.

The on-site director paid special attention to the male fans who were still watching the live broadcast, and presented the high-quality girlfriends of the Portuguese Wives Group to fans around the world through close-up shots.

Felix’s 18-year-old supermodel girlfriend Margarita Corsello, B-seat girlfriend Portuguese beauty pageant champion Ines Tomaz, Ruben Dias’ girlfriend...

Of course, the one who gets the most attention is Martin's girlfriend Savannah Blade.

Whether it's appearance, figure, or temperament, she perfectly crushes other Portuguese wives.

The losing England players sighed, feeling very uncomfortable.

I originally thought about giving them a big upset at home, but in the end... I was ruthlessly defeated.

While the staff was still busy, the director of the Wan Wives Group once again showed Martin the camera.

He was looking at each other lovingly with his girlfriend Savannah Blade, making countless male and female fans in front of the TV envious.

Male fans hope to have a perfect Savannah Blade, and female fans hope to have a boyfriend like Martin.

Those who have a partner will immediately secrete a large amount of dopamine, treating the person next to them as...

Closer to home.

UEFA's staff were quite efficient and quickly set up the necessary podium and championship display area for the awards ceremony.

"Reddis Bricks..."

The on-site announcer received the field control prompt, and the high-pitched voice spread through the loudspeaker to the entire stadium.

After a while, the guests who were the traveling European Cup awardees walked from the player tunnel to the podium.

FIFA President Infantino, UEFA President Ceferin, UEFA Secretary General Theodoridis, Portuguese Football Association President Fernando Gomez, First Brother, and English Football Association President Mike ·Comick, Prince William, Princess Kate, Prince George, Great Britain's First Brother, Mayor of London, Beckham, Figo, Tom Cruise...

Kuipers, the referee team who officiated the European Cup final, and his team walked to the podium respectively to accept the commemorative medals worn by the award-presenting guests.

Following closely behind were the England players who had lost in the final, and they walked up listlessly.

Facing the comfort from the award-winning guests, my mood became slightly better.

"Please... All members of Portugal, the champions of the 2020th European Cup in 16..."

The high-pitched voice of the live announcer swept through the live speakers.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead and walked towards the podium, followed closely by Seat B, Ruben Dias, Pepe and other players, accepting the gold-plated gold medal symbolizing the championship from the luxury presenter.

As Portugal's biggest contributor to defending the European Cup, Martin deserves to be the finale.

Even head coach Santos has to go ahead and give the last chance to show his face to the number one man in football today...Martin!
The large and luxurious award-giving guests all had smiles on their faces and kept chatting with the champion members.

Figo and Beckham, who played against Ronaldo in the early stages of his career, even stood aside and reminisced about the past, with vivid memories of their careers back then.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

When Martin walked up to the podium last, a deafening roar rang out over the new Wembley Stadium.

Every award-winning guest asked him to chat for a few words.

If Princess Kate hadn't been concerned about her husband, Prince William, and her surroundings, she would have wanted to have a private conversation.

Women know women best. Martin’s girlfriend Savannah Blade saw this and snorted in her heart: “Old woman.”

The Portuguese players who were ready to hold the trophy did not rush, but waited patiently.

They all know that without Martin, the championship would cease to exist.

It wasn't until he hugged the last special award guest, Tom Cruise, that Martin walked to the championship display area.

Next, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo took over the silver Delaunay Cup, symbolizing the European Cup championship, from UEFA President Ceferin.

The atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium dropped to its lowest stage. It was obvious that the Portuguese fans at the scene were waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo to lift the trophy before erupting.

"Portugal fans and friends, are you ready?"

The iconic high-pitched voice of Gumi commentator Zhan Jun is transmitted through the broadcast signal to the ears of fans around the world watching the network TV live broadcast.

Ronaldo, who was holding the two ears of the Delaunay Cup, took three steps and two steps, walked to the C position vacated by his teammates in the championship display area next to the podium, and then knelt down and raised the championship trophy.

"Portugal! Is the champion!!!"

At the same time, Zhan Jun said impassionedly.

Fans watching the live broadcast can see a set of subtitles from a prominent position on the broadcast screen.

[2020 Tour European Cup Champion: Portugal]

"we are the champion!!"

The Portuguese fans at the scene chanted in unison.

On the roof of the stadium, brilliant fireworks supplied by Dragon Kingdom were set off.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo quickly handed the championship trophy to Martin.

The man who led Portugal to invincibility in the international arena.

Martin has no reservations, and this kind of treatment is a matter of course for him.

Other Portuguese players had no complaints either.

Winning the championship with Martin is the best thing in his career.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for Portuguese fans.

Portuguese fans in Lisbon, Porto, Avi River and other places were very proud of this, cheered and fully enjoyed the successfully defended European Cup championship.
