The first exchange between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo was the pre-match ceremony after the national anthems of both sides, and the captains of both sides went to Brazilian referee Sandro Ricci to guess the ball, but the exchange between the two was very regular, with a polite nod and handshake.

In a short time, the frenzy at the Fisht Olympic Stadium was at its lowest, and fans on both sides waited with bated breath as they waited for the referee's opening whistle.

Ten seconds before the start of the game, fans in the stands raised their voices to the countdown Arabic numerals displayed on the large LCD screen erected on the field.

“5”

“4”

“3”

“2”

“1”

As the fans counted down to the Arabic numerals 1'1', the referee on duty, Sandro Richie, blew a long whistle: "Beep~"

Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the football at his feet to Moutinho outside the arc of his center, and at the same time, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei habitually said the opening sentence: "CCTV, CCTV! The game now broadcast for you is the live broadcast of the 1/4 finals between the Chinese team and the Portuguese team at the 21st FIFA World Cup in Russia in 2018! Wearing red jerseys and red pants is the Portuguese team that kicked off first, and they attack from the left side of the broadcast screen to the right side......"

The quarter-finals between China and Portugal will be the last quarter-finals of the World Cup, and the winner will travel to Moscow to challenge England at the Luzhniki Stadium.

The knockout round itself is a game that no one can afford to lose, because the tournament comes to the quarter-finals, and then to the semi-finals, elimination means elimination, and if you want to participate in the World Cup, you have to wait four years.

Professional footballers themselves eat the food of youth, and no one knows what will happen in four years, especially for those who are entering the age of their establishment.

Even if you can play in the World Cup again in four years, will you still be able to reach the quarterfinals?

So professional players know to live in the moment and seize the day.

I can't guess what the future holds, so I can only do my best in the current game.

To get back to the point, Portugal and China are playing defensive counterattacks in this World Cup, so the beginning is very dull, no matter who dominates the game, it seems awkward, because the style of play has been formed, and the temporary change is accompanied by a high risk, whether it is Santos or Lippi, they dare not take risks.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes into the game, both sides were focused on the midfield battle, so not a single shot on goal appeared.

The direct confrontation between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo that media reporters and fans wanted to see appeared once, but it was a pity that Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 33 years old, did not break through in the face of Tang Zheng's defense, he quickly handed it to his teammate Moutinho, and then ran into the penalty area.

Many commentators expressed support for Cristiano Ronaldo's choice, because Cristiano Ronaldo's current ability is more reflected in his sense of smell in front of goal, playing the role of a terminator, and at the age of 33, he is not as explosive as before, and it is the stupidest way to try to break through against Tang Zheng, who is in hot form and at the peak of his career.

In addition, the World Cup is different from the league and the Champions League.

Every player with a sense of national honor will put the interests of the country first and will not act rashly at all, especially a player like Cristiano Ronaldo who has experienced countless big scenes.

Besides, beating Tang Zheng doesn't need to break through, he needs to help the team score goals!

However, the Chinese team did a very good job defensively and did not give Portugal too many offensive opportunities.

China pose a big threat to Portuguese left-back Guerreiro on the wing, and Lu Liang, who played for Borussia Dortmund earlier, has a switch with Wu Sanshi, and he knows the technical characteristics of the former team-mate very well.

It's a pity that the quality of Lu Liang's cross after the breakthrough is not good, coupled with the fact that Fonte and Pepe controlled Sun Jingbo in the penalty area properly and cleared the ball smoothly.

Five minutes into the game, Portugal took the lead with a shot on goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo headed in a 45-degree cross from Moutinho on the right in the box, but he didn't have the power to head under the combined defense of Feng Xiaoting and Ko Zhunyi, and the ball was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Yan Junling.

※※※

"Whoa—"

Although the match between the Chinese team and the Portuguese team was relatively boring, the fans on both sides of the game were enthusiastic and created wave after wave of shouts.

The fans were very excited, and the players in the stadium seemed to be affected, and the originally relatively close scene became hot.

Joao Mario made a very big move in the side and back when Artemisia Jun Min met the ball and turned in one go, and shoveled Hao Jun Min into the air.

"Woo-woo-"

Suddenly, the Fisht Olympic Stadium resounded with a deafening boo from Chinese fans.

Tang Zheng, Li Kui and Lu Liang, who were not far from the place of the incident, went up to question Joao Mario who committed a foul as soon as possible, but fortunately, the referee on duty, Sandro Ricci, was very in place, putting himself in front of Joao Mario and driving away the Chinese players who tried to find an explanation.

Tang Zheng, as the captain, also realized something, turned around and pushed his teammate back, and then complained to referee Sandro Ricci about Joao Mario's big move.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo knew he had something to say and walked up to the referee to help his team-mates intercede.

Referee Sandro Ricci looked at the two of them, first waved to his teammates of the Chinese team to indicate that they could enter the field for treatment, and at the same time smiled and tapped his chin.

However, he did not intend to let Joao Mario go, the pace of the previous game was very stable, and suddenly becoming hot was not what he wanted to see, so he was severely punished when the action became bigger.

Under the helpless eyes of Cristiano Ronaldo, referee Sandro Ricci pulled out a yellow card towards Joao Mario.

According to the slow-motion replay, Joao Mario's action was indeed very large, fully worthy of a yellow card, coupled with the dissatisfaction of Chinese players and fans, referee Sandro Ricci had no problem giving a yellow card.

But Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo did not communicate directly, which disappointed many people.

Joao Mario's yellow card was timely, and referee Sandro Ricci snuffed out the excitement of both players.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei is very satisfied with the referee Sandro Ricci's approach: "If the referee Sandro Ricci does not give Joao Mario a yellow card, it is likely to lead to an imbalance in the mentality of Chinese players, since referee Sandro Ricci acquiesces to Joao Mario's big move as a regular action, then Chinese players can also do it, and the problem of favoritism is very big at that time, which will seriously affect the quality of the game......"

When the game reached the sixteenth minute, the first meeting between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo appeared.

Cristiano Ronaldo cut inside from William Carvalho's pass on the left, his rhythm changing to shake off Zhang Linpeng and Li Kui, and picked up his right foot from 26 yards.

Tang Zheng, who has a strong ability to read the game, made up the defense in a timely manner, and the moment Cristiano Ronaldo got up, the football hit the right thigh and bounced back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Accompanied by a huge exclamation from the Chinese fans, William Carvalho kept the ball and gave it directly to left-back Guerreiro, who went too far and was cleared off the right sideline by Zhang Linpeng, who had returned to defending on the right side.

Two minutes later, Tang Zheng cut off a pass from William Carvalho to Bernardo Silva and made a long pass to Lu Liang on the left.

Lu Liang ran wildly along the left sideline on the right side of the left sideline, chose to go inside in the face of Guerrero and Pepe's sandwich defense, and then took a long shot from the left side of the penalty area line to force goalkeeper Patricio to make a key save.

"Whoa—"

The frenetic atmosphere at the Fisht Olympic Stadium is clearly on the rise.

Because...... The Chinese team won the first corner kick of the game!

Fans who are familiar with the Chinese team know that corner kicks are an important means of scoring for the Chinese team.

As the captain, Tang Zheng has an unparalleled ability to score with headers, and Tang Zheng has helped the Chinese team score an astonishing six goals in the past four games, and is tied with Harry Kane for the top scorer.

When the Chinese team won a corner, Portugal coach Santos looked very nervous, standing on the sidelines and constantly commanding, signaling the team to focus on Tang Zheng.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe were in charge of keeping an eye on Tang Zheng, and the commentators in the commentary seats gradually became excited.

In the process of defense, it is normal to pull the jersey, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe cooperate very well, Pepe is defending Tang Zheng head-on while also blocking the referee Sandro Ricci's sight, and Cristiano Ronaldo reaches out to grab Tang Zheng's jersey.

Tang Zheng naturally didn't want to suffer, and waved his hand to Cristiano Ronaldo's right hand that was pulling his jersey.

Cristiano Ronaldo obviously didn't expect Tang Zheng to be like this, he didn't react, Pepe, as a former Real Madrid teammate, couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to help Cristiano Ronaldo come out, and questioned Tang Zheng very emotionally.

Tang Zheng didn't know Pepe's true intentions, he raised his hands high, revealing a harmless smile from humans and animals.

The Chinese players in the penalty area saw Pepe making trouble with captain Tang Zheng, and immediately went over to defend Tang Zheng.

"Beep~"

At this time, referee Sandro Ricci decisively blew the whistle and ran to the place of the incident.

Although Sandro Ricci didn't see Tang Zheng slap Cristiano Ronaldo, she can guess what she has been coaching for years, and he can also communicate with the video referee through the headset.

As a result, referee Sandro Lippi hooked his finger at Tang Zheng and Pepe, called to a relatively open place, and erected himself as the authority of the referee. 、

The scene of Tang Zheng slapping Cristiano Ronaldo was captured by the broadcast screen, and Andy Gray, a commentator on British Sky TV, smiled: "Don's move is really ruthless, Cristiano Ronaldo can't react when he hits, but I have to say that Don is very experienced in the game, and he remains calm in the face of Pepe's provocation." ”

"Haha~" Martin Taylor clutched his stomach and smiled: "Cristiano Ronaldo is really wronged, old man, you see...... I was stunned. ”

Yang 5 commentator He Wei didn't laugh, but also gave a wonderful comment: "Who would have thought that Tang Zheng and Ronaldo's first contact started in this way? ”

Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Tang Zheng very well-behaved in front of the referee, and felt very unhappy.

After a while, Hao Junmin took a corner kick from the right side, Tang Zheng did not fully jump under the double pressure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, the football leaked, and then Guedes pushed out of the penalty area.

Although it was Guedes who cleared the siege, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe contributed a lot, and it was their efforts that caused Tang Zheng not to grab the landing point, so the Portuguese national TV commentator Fernandez was full of passion: "What about the despicable action? Beautiful defense! Cristiano Ronaldo perfectly defended Don! Saved a game!"

In the thirtieth minute, the Portuguese team also won a corner kick, and Tang Zheng, who has the best header ability of the Chinese team, naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Cristiano Ronaldo.

The live director directly gave Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo a close-up, and the fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see the two of them constantly pulling, maybe the referee Sandro Ricci couldn't stand it, he blew the whistle in his mouth, and called Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo alone to the open space to educate them.

Everyone is an old fritter in football, like a schoolboy in front of the referee, and when they enter the penalty area, the two keep making small movements, but the referee Sandro Ricci did not blow the whistle again this time.

It is normal for small actions in the penalty area to emerge one after another, as long as it is not a particularly big action, the referee can turn a blind eye.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo have been teammates in Real Madrid for three seasons, and they know each other's characteristics very well, although Moutinho's free kick is very good, but Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo failed to fully jump under the interference of the other party, and Sun Jingbo, who was defending behind him, pushed the ball out of the bottom line for the sake of insurance.

Moutinho took another corner, this time Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo also failed to get on the head, and the ball was headed by Font, but he couldn't find the crosshairs, and the ball went over the crossbar.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo did not stop there, and met again in the following match time.

The Chinese team organized the attack, Tang Zheng stepped in to participate in the attack, and he was about to shoot with his feet on goal when he was kicked to the ground by Cristiano Ronaldo from the side behind, and the referee Sandro Ricci's whistle also sounded.

Tang Zheng spread his hands and looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, but Cristiano Ronaldo didn't say anything, which made people helpless.

Cristiano Ronald noticed Tang Zheng's helplessness and smiled in his heart.

Let you slap me, huh!
