Chapter 106: China VS Portugal

China have advanced to the final, and the other team will be between Portugal and Croatia, both teams have never reached the World Cup final, and whoever wins will make history. Both teams have Dong Fangzhuo's friends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Modric.

Before the game, Dong Fangzhuo also interacted with the two of them on Twitter, and he @ the two of them respectively.

"Are you both ready? I'm ready to comfort one, congratulate one, and hope that our friendship will last forever, regardless of the outcome of the game. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric echoed each other.

Ronaldo said: "I'm ready to comfort him with you. The words are full of absolute confidence, and the subtext is obvious, that is, Portugal will definitely advance, and he will comfort the defeated Modric with Dong Fangzhuo.

Luka Modric can't help it, he's just a midfielder, and the other two guys are number one and second strikers in the world, so they definitely have an advantage. His response was humorous: "Well, I'm ready on the bench, if you can't, I'll come." ”

Neither the Eusebio era nor Figo's golden generation have made it to the World Cup final, and Cristiano Ronaldo is leading the team alone this time and will face a new history, and he is desperate to accomplish this feat at the end of his career, winning the European Championship two years ago, and now it is time to attack the World Cup.

This was not the case with Luka Modric's siege of Croatia, who sat in front of the TV at the age of 13 and watched Croatia make history at the '98 World Cup, and 20 years later, he personally led the team to the same heights, and now he is reaching the final like a record.

Tacitly, everyone is going towards the same goal.

The two teams collided at Euro 2016, but Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal beat Croatia 1-0. But it was Cristiano Ronaldo who indirectly assisted Quaresma in the 117th minute of extra time.

Today, at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the two teams staged another collision between Mars and Earth. Portugal have won all four of their previous games against Croatia, scoring seven goals and not conceding a single goal.

Croatia tried to control the game from the start, with a whopping 90% possession in the first five minutes. The pace of the game was frequently interrupted by fouls, and while both teams liked to play counter-attack, Croatia played more as a whole. But the European champions Portugal are just showing weakness and giving more of the ball to Croatia, as is the case with France in the European Championship.

In fact, neither side had any decent chances in the first 25 minutes, until the 26th minute, Portugal finally got a chance to attack in front, and the B seat drove straight into the right flank, and then was brought down by Barcelona star Rakitic before it scored, giving Portugal a chance to take a free-kick in the game. Ronaldo habitually stood in front of the ball, hit a lift ball with his right foot, and the ball drew a wonderful arc and flew into the upper right corner of the door, 1:0.

It's just a testament to the individual ability of the star.

Even Sky Sports' Lineker had to sigh:

"It's all about playing football as a whole now, but the superstars are still playing an absolute role."

"Whether it's China or Portugal, they have superstars who decide the game, and Dong and Ronaldo both explain their superstars in the team."

"Opportunities that others can't grasp, but they seize."

After taking the lead, Portugal played more conservatively, and the turtle cowered at the back and put on a big game, and Croatia poured out of the nest.

Luka Modric and his team-mates did everything they could to equalise, but Croatia, who boasted the world's number one midfielders Luka Modric and Rakitic, were unable to find the back of the net. Modric, Rakitic, Perisic, and Mandzukic tested the Portuguese goalkeeper with shots one after another, but in the end they could only end the first half 0:1.

Dong Fangzhuo and all the members of the national team sat in the hotel conference room and watched the game from beginning to end, Dong Fangzhuo also served as a temporary commentator, and has been analyzing the two teams.

'Portugal have experience in the European Championship finals, they are too solid defensively and they will probably keep going, and the draw in the first group game against Spain has given them a lot of confidence.

"Croatia have conceded a goal, but they are playing better and better, but they are suffering physically, and they have played extra-time for two games in a row."

"If Portugal can withstand the first twenty minutes of the second half, it is estimated that Croatia will be hanging. Portugal is just grinding, they are getting more and more mature. ”

"Once the final is against Portugal, it will be more difficult than Croatia."

"Pay attention to the two people of B Xi and Guedes, one point Ronaldo is prevented from death, and the two of them are the biggest reliance on the counterattack."

"On the Croatian side, Modric, Perisic and Mandzukic dominated the attack, and Rakitic was not much of a threat. These three people are like taking expired Tsubaki medicine......"

Yibian fought again, Croatia came up and launched a 15-minute onslaught, but it was still the same as in the first half, only thunder and no rain, and the goal was always a little bit worse.

In the 63rd minute, Croatia had a great chance to equalize, but Mandzukic's header was fouled first, and the goal was invalidated, and five minutes later, Perisic burst into the box and fell, but the referee refused to take the penalty. The plot seems to go in the direction envisioned by the Portuguese.

The managers of both sides began to deploy their troops after 70 minutes and worked hard for the final sprint. With the decline in fitness, Croatia lost control of the midfield, Portugal gained more and more time on the ball, but they still did not press out to play, Croatia's attack was weakened, and the roaring engines of Rakitic, Perisic and Modric finally fell silent.

In the final moments, Modric sprinted frantically down the middle, but when he rushed to Portugal's penalty area and shot from distance, his ball went straight to the corner flag, and then cramped, and the world-class veteran had nothing to do......

Portugal grinded the score 1-0 to the last second. At the end of the game, they left Croatia with one goal as they did two years ago, and reached the World Cup final in history, and they finally competed with China for the 2018 Hercules Cup.

China vs Portugal, this is the last match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Dong Fangzhuo VS Ronaldo, this is the biggest collision this summer.

As for the final ending of the story? That will be four days later, when the final story of this World Cup will be......
