In last week's Qatar World Cup European Preliminary Play-off, North Macedonia upset the world's sixth-place Italy, sending the Blues to miss two consecutive World Cups, but also one step closer to stepping on the World Cup for the first time. At that time, the president of North Macedonia was very excited, and openly shouted to the next opponent, Portugal, domineering: C Ronaldo, the next to be eliminated is you! The President of North Macedonia has some wild practices, which have been questioned by the outside world, but if he stands in his position, he believes that this behavior can be understood.
According to the schedule, the play-off finals between North Macedonia and Portugal will start at 3 a.m. tomorrow, and in order to boost morale, the Prime Minister of North Macedonia has used a killer weapon: money offensive. The prime minister of North Macedonia solemnly promised that if Portugal could be eliminated, the state would give each player 500,000 euros, or about 3.5 million yuan. Don't look at 500,000 euros is not a big number for top stars, but for North Macedonian players, many people are not worth 500,000 euros, and the role of this money can be imagined.
There is an old Chinese saying that "there will be brave men under the heavy reward", and after receiving the promise from the prime minister of North Macedonia, I believe that the players will definitely do their best on the field. Moreover, it is indeed not easy for North Macedonia to gradually rebuild and recover after experiencing war and division, and to stand on the green field again. Many North Macedonian players, led by Pandev, may not have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup in their lifetime, and they will not give up easily if they have the qualification to choose. To be sure, North Macedonia will launch a stubborn resistance to Portugal, C Ronaldo and his supporters are still not too optimistic, since the other side can eliminate Italy, it is possible to continue to be upset.
North Macedonia, which came from the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and was called Macedonia in the early years, has complicated the situation for geopolitical and historical reasons, as well as changes in country names and regional divisions. The most famous player in North Macedonia is Pandev, who has been playing in Serie A for a long time, and is also the main force of the Inter Triple Crown period, and the front trident composed of Eto'o and Milito has killed all four sides, and even defeated the cosmic team Barca. North Macedonia participated in last year's European Championships, and although it lost three battles, it was tenacious and worthy of everyone's respect.
In the Qatar World Preliminary Round, North Macedonia was divided into groups with Germany, Iceland, Romania and other teams, ranking low in overall strength, but finally qualified as the second in the group, and even beat Germany on the road. Next, as long as one more game is won, North Macedonia can reach the World Cup for the first time and create national history, even if it is a powerful Portugal, I believe That Pandev and others will not be afraid.
