The team has a bad temper and dreams of breaking South Korea.
Unlike Rui Costa and others, Paulo Bento from Sporting Lisbon does not belong to the 1989 and 199 1 Portuguese World Youth Championship. He worked hard to enter the national team step by step, and his position was mostly fixed in the lower back. His playing style is simple, fierce and accurate, and he was once called the team's midfield purifier.
Although it can't be compared with Sapinto and joao pinto in offensive ability and importance, Bento was still an important support in the Portuguese team of that year. In Euro 2000, Portugal beat England 3-2 in the group stage, and Bento started well. In the semi-final match against France, Xavier's deduction dispute caused public anger among Portuguese players. Bento, who could not control his emotions, tried to win a red card from the referee and was directly suspended for seven months.
Nevertheless, because of its outstanding characteristics, Bento was still the absolute main force of the team in the 2002 World Cup. Portugal, which was regarded as the favorite to win the championship in those years, suffered a big cold in the first game and lost 2-3 to the United States. Then, after beating Poland 4-0, they had to beat South Korea in the last game to ensure qualification.
In this "classic" battle, the South Korean team began to reveal the true face of the "black" horse. After many strange penalties at the beginning, the Portuguese lost his balance and joao pinto's flying shovel was sent off. Bento was one of the players who stopped an angry Pinto when he rushed to the referee.
In the second half, Beto turned 2 yellow 1 red, and they were quickly killed by Park Ji-sung after hitting 1 1 nine times. Within 90 minutes, Portugal hit the post twice, but failed to score. The world cup tour, which was highly anticipated by everyone, ended like this.
Later, Tai Chi Tiger continued to black out Italy and Spain until the semi-finals. The Portuguese players who returned home were extremely angry and joined the army that denounced South Korea's black.
Regret to retire, the Portuguese-Korean war became the biggest regret.
The failure of the World Cup in Korea and Japan accelerated the promotion of the Portuguese. Bento, 33, is disheartened.
In football, Mourinho led Porto to complete the impossible task and win the Champions League. In June, Portugal made a Greek myth in the local World Cup, and people remembered Cristiano Ronaldo's tears. This year, China's men's soccer team lost to Japan in the Asian Cup final, and then missed the 2006 German World Cup ahead of schedule because of arithmetic problems.
For Bento, the biggest change this year is to announce his retirement and bid farewell to his professional status after missing the 2004 European Cup. In an interview, he said that the biggest regret of his career was that he didn't win the trophy with Portugal, especially in 2002 when Ma Zhuang's team failed to qualify, which was a shame for fans.
Pick up the pointer: a butterfly that can't fly over the sea
Compared with domestic big-name stars such as Figo and Rui Costa, Bento's career is not brilliant at all. He only played for Oviedo, a middle and lower Spanish team, and played at home the rest of the time. The greatest honor is the Portuguese Super Championship won with Sporting Lisbon (now renamed Portuguese Sports) in 200 1-2002 season.
In order to make a living, for the happiness of his family and for his football dream, Bento quickly picked up the coach after retiring. At his old club, Portuguese Sports started as a teaching assistant at U 19, and was appointed as an adult team coach one year later. In the era of Porto's monopoly champion, he led the team to win the Portuguese Cup and the Super Cup twice during his four years in charge.
Bento is an ordinary man. He is not Mourinho. He can't make a miraculous leap and become the darling of the media. But step by step, I still saw the dawn.
20 10 After Portugal lost the World Cup in South Africa, Queiroz left the school. The fans fantasized that Mourinho could take over the coaching, but the Magic Bird had reached an agreement with Real Madrid. At this time, Bento was appointed as a temporary coach, and his contract was very short and would end after the 20 12 European Cup.
Bento's teaching style has the shadow of a god bird, paying attention to high-intensity grabbing and strict defense, and pursuing high efficiency. In the 20 12 European Cup, Portugal reached the semi-final when everyone was not optimistic about the team, but lost to Spain on penalty, just like a butterfly can't fly over the sea. Bento and Cristiano Ronaldo are only one step away from the miracle.
20 14 World Cup, when Portugal set foot on Brazil with confidence, it suffered a blow in the first group match. After Pepe's opening red card, the team was swept 4-0 by Germany.
The cruelty of this world sometimes lies in the fact that ordinary people and the chosen son with the aura of the protagonist have completely different plots.
Against the United States, Portugal scored a goal in the first five minutes, but it was reversed by the opponent 2-/kloc-0. Until the last moment, I got 1 point with Cristiano Ronaldo's assist. Because of the big loss in the first game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal despite the 2-/Kloc-0 victory over Ghana in the last game, and the Portuguese group went home after qualifying.
Why is it so difficult to find a job?
After weighing the pros and cons, the Portuguese Football Association gave Bento the opportunity to stay, but it didn't last long. Only a few months later, he received the notice of dismissal because of his unexpected loss to Albania.
After class, the Portuguese media began to speculate that Cristiano Ronaldo proposed to the Football Association, and Bento had no choice but to say goodbye. Frank Bento also told the truth: Cristiano Ronaldo is not an ideal captain. He went to see the top of the Portuguese Football Association? He influenced my fate? I hate to believe this. Because this means that the role inside the team is reversed, both the president of the Portuguese Football Association and the players will set a bad precedent. I don't think players should have such great influence and should be able to make decisions on behalf of the top management. "
Like a 40+ who was dismissed by a big factory, bento has become a typical example that no one wants. I don't know if I've heard Mr. Guo's cross talk, "You're unemployed here, and someone has lost their virginity there." Portugal doesn't want you or me. Bento has been working hard and never gave up in self-explanation.
After nearly two years of unemployment, Bento went to Brazil to coach Cruzeiro. After only 76 days, he was dismissed from the club after recording 6 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses. Then he came to the Greek giant Olympiakos, but the job lasted only seven months, and then it was over.
2065438+At the end of 2007, Bento took over the Chongqing team. When the Portuguese first arrived, he was ambitious, and the club hoped that he could shoulder more responsibilities in building the echelon and training young players. This time, seven months later, he was fired for his poor record.
At this time, Bento's mood has fallen to the bottom, and his heart is full of grievances and complaints: Which teams have I coached before? Is Iniesta here? Let me play Woo Young Jung in midfield. Can he play? Don't!
It is said that there was an interesting scene: Bantu was drinking in his Portuguese backyard after class, and when Woo Young Jung was complaining about his poor performance in midfield, his former disciples called: Boss, the Korean team is choosing a coach, and they are quite satisfied with my recommendation. Why not prepare your resume and ppt?
Be patient! Korean workers have to be scolded in order to survive.
After bento came to Korea, he was bombarded by the media and questioned by fans. That tone, that attitude, made the Portuguese begin to doubt life in minutes.
"Losers are nobody. You lost once in 2002. What makes you coach the national team this time? "
"What are you doing here? Do you know the ball? Woo Young Jung is such a good player that you can't use it well in Chongqing. "
"Do you know Sun Xingyi? His tactical knowledge is richer than yours. "
Bento's early performance was good. He once beat Uruguay and Chile and swept Uzbekistan 4-0. South Korean media and fans once ridiculed that China's players' comprehension ability was too poor, which made it impossible to play bento there, but South Korea was different. Between the lines, the players are amazing!
20 19 Asian Cup, the team lost 0- 1 to Qatar and missed the semi-finals, despite objective factors such as Luo, injury and poor state. The media and fans still haven't let go of their lunch: go back to Portugal immediately after class!
I have to say that the Korean Football Association's practice is worthy of recognition on the major issues of coach selection and replacement. Convinced that Bento's tactical concept is suitable for domestic football, the Korean Football Association has supported Bento countless times and met many of his requirements.
Meet such a good boss, bento also paid almost everything. During the worst period of the Korean Wave epidemic, he resolutely returned to South Korea to coach players and went to various venues in the league to select talents. In an interview, Bento once said: This is my job. There are many difficulties and challenges as well as scolding and encouragement. I have to face it, because my profession is coaching.
In the 12 championship, the South Korean team was surrounded by wolves in West Asia. Not only won the first place, but also won the nemesis Iran at home, and the whole country rejoiced.
After this game, the sales of beer and snacks in South Korea even increased significantly. Korean fans have changed from "RNM refund" to "it's really fragrant".
Challenge or tease? Bento is embarrassed this time.
Life is impermanent, not only the large intestine wraps the small intestine, but you never know which window God will open for you in the next second. Bento was assigned to a very difficult group when he was going to lead Tai Chi Tiger to make great efforts in the World Cup. Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana are not easy to mess with.
The more wonderful story is that he is in a group with his native Portugal. No wonder at the scene, the Korean coach looked grim and couldn't see a smile.
After 20 years of reincarnation, Bento not only became the coach who hated the team at first, but also led them against their own country. Isn't the plot too bloody? Actually, that's not how we really play.
Bento certainly hopes to lead the South Korean team to defeat Portugal, which is part of his job and his duty, but the opposite is his motherland. In his heart, he also hopes to see Portugal take revenge on its old enemy and go further.
People certainly remember what happened 20 years ago. Portuguese media Henna Sensa broke the story of bento: he couldn't wait for the World Cup group match between South Korea and Portugal to end, which was simply a mockery of fate.
South Korean media clamored: Let Cristiano Ronaldo pay the price. Three years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo refused to play in Juventus, which made a large number of Korean fans very angry. Since then, they have been very angry with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Extreme fans even said: If even Portugal can't win, then class will be over quickly! Then the question comes: How much fake wine did this fan drink?
That's fate. What knocked you down, made you miserable, and made you unwilling? Before you said it with a smile many years later, he may have changed a vest or continued to tease you in another form!
For bento, perhaps the ups and downs of fate and the hardships of life don't matter. At the moment, he can only hope that this plot will pass quickly, like a TV series, and fast forward to the next episode.
Whether the outcome is Bento's revenge, Portugal's revenge, or South Korea's second victory over the opponent, or the two teams have already advanced before the third round. The day of 65438+ February 2 is coming, and no one knows what is waiting for the lunch.
