China News Agency, Doha, November 29. Question: Reporter's Notes: Ronaldo, Messi, who is waiting for Lusail in the final?

　　China News Agency reporter Xing Chong

　　It was already the early morning of the 29th when I came out of Lusail Stadium.

When the reporter was still reminiscing about the battle between Portugal and Uruguay, a colleague asked: How do you think Ronaldo and Messi performed in this World Cup?

　　The reporter was not in a hurry to answer this question, but suddenly thought that these two top players in the world have already played in the Lusail Stadium before them, and they seem to have a close relationship with the stadium that will host the World Cup finals. A hidden connection.

　　Lusail Stadium is located in Lusail New City, about 20 kilometers north of Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is the largest and most important stadium of this World Cup.

On the evening of the 28th, Ronaldo led the Portuguese team to beat Uruguay 2-0 here, avenging his elimination in the 1/8 finals of the last cup, and qualifying ahead of schedule with two consecutive victories in the group stage.

　　Two days ago here, at exactly the same moment, Messi led his "Pampas Eagles" to defeat the Mexican team with the same score of 2:0, reversing the fate of being eliminated early.

　　Leading the team to victory, this pair of football "peerless twins" complemented the golden Lusail Stadium under the night.

For the two who are both going to the World Cup for the fifth time and most likely the last time, winning the "Hercules Cup" in the final in Lusail is undoubtedly the most perfect curtain call of their careers.

　　Ronaldo seems to be in a more relaxed state.

After the warm-up before the game, he readily agreed to the group photo request of the caddy and staff in the player tunnel. When he left the field with a goalless goal in the first half, he shook hands with the famous Uruguayan Suarez with a smile.

　　In the 54th minute of the second half, the Portuguese team's goal was originally attributed to Ronaldo. At that time, Fernandez lobbed the ball from the left and flew into the penalty area. Ronaldo jumped high and headed the goal.

After slow-motion playback, Ronaldo didn't really touch the football, but his hair touched the ball slightly, and finally it was officially changed to Fernandez's goal.

　　A Portuguese colleague next to the reporter joked that this should be called "God's hair".

But at the same time, he believes that Ronaldo's header made the opponent's goalkeeper make a mistake in judgment, so Ronaldo is still a major contributor to the goal.

　　The current memory of Messi at the Lusail Stadium may be "mixed joy and sorrow".

The first game of the Argentine team was also here. At that time, Messi scored a penalty kick in the 7th minute, but in the end, the Argentine team was reversed by two goals in a row by the traditional underdog Saudi Arabia; Saved the Argentine team in "Life and Death".

Compared with Portugal's early promotion, Messi still needs to lead his Argentina team to qualify in the third round.

　　As the world's top stars, the fans of the two have already transcended national boundaries.

These three games had more than 88,000 spectators, ranking among the highest in the group stage. There were even many Arab men in the audience wearing Argentine or Portuguese jerseys over the traditional white robes.

Perhaps there is a careful calculation by the organizers to arrange the group matches of the two teams at the Lusail Stadium. After all, these three events can bring a lot of ticket revenue.

　　When interviewing the fans of the two, they all expressed the same wish to the reporter, hoping that the "Boss May" (Messi) and the boss (C Ronaldo) can win the "Hercules Cup" at the Lusail Stadium.

　　Lusail Stadium is known as the "Pearl in the Crown" of the World Cup in Qatar. For the two who have already won countless honors such as World Footballer and Golden Globe, their "Crown" is only short of this "Pearl" "Are.

　　Before each match at Lusail Stadium, a huge shape of the "Hercules Cup" will be placed in the center of the venue. Under the dazzling performance of the live light show, this "trophy" is dazzling golden.

Will the real "Hercules Cup" belong to them on December 18?

Who will be waiting for Lusail's final field?
