Chapter 106: Portugal Loses to 442 Again (Two in One)
(Thanks to the two monthly passes of Coconut Sago Dew Q!) Thank you Bohu and foodies for the monthly pass! Thank you for the reward! Thank you for the tip from Bohu foodies! )
The game entered the 60th minute, and the effect of Ronaldo's top front began to bear fruit, Joao Mario crossed 45 degrees from the side, and the president in the penalty area shook his head to attack the goal - high.
Portugal's previous time was indeed too complicated, and I haven't seen any effect, but I can reap the effect by using this direct method, because President Luo played one-on-one with the defenders of the Chinese team in the penalty area, and these people said that they were small fish and shrimp and even insulted small fish and shrimp, and his physical confrontation, bounce, and landing point judgment were almost invincible.
However, once Ronaldo no longer undertakes part of the organizational work and is simply used as a battering ram, the organization and cooperation of the front court will inevitably become weaker, and the players who begin to undertake the work of crosses will inevitably be unable to concentrate on two purposes when the team turns to defense.
The king of the ball was removed from the position of the offensive core and retreated to the second place, but the Chinese team's defensive intensity for it is still not very large. This strategy made people wonder from the beginning, and the Chinese team seemed to have predicted in advance that Guedes would not play well this time, so they would unswervingly use this strategy. Seeing the struggle of his favorite general, Santos was a little upset, because he felt that it was because the Chinese team did not do their best to force out of Guedes's state, which made him miserable. It's like the perverted intensity of Godin and Jimenez in the last game, and finally forced "Guedes" to be anxious like a red-eyed rabbit, see who bites whom, and then take away the game in waves......
Chinese, why don't you play your cards according to common sense......
Soon after Ronaldo's header, the Chinese team quickly got the opportunity to counterattack, Wu Lei received the ball and rushed into the left side of the penalty area, and the ball was crossed in the middle, but unfortunately the inserted "Xiao Zhi" outflanked the tackle by a fraction of a centimeter, but at the same time he was also in an offside position.
In the 63rd minute, Portugal switched to Quaresma's cross from the left, and Ronaldo's header was again received by the goalkeeper.
Now, as long as they see that Ronaldo's header did not work, the remaining players of the Portuguese team will quickly retreat to deal with the next round of the Chinese team's offensive - almost all the hopes in the front court are on Ronaldo alone, the Chinese team is dense in defense, it is not easy to get the ball back, and it is also easy to cause the defensive void in the back when the goal is conceded in the first half.
Portugal is looking for Ronaldo to attack now, and the Chinese team is also attacking to find Lu Chahu. The connection between Yu Yang and Lu Zhuhu is very trustworthy - this kid is either big or small when he passes the ball to others, but every time he passes the ball to Lu Zhuhu, it is always just right, which makes people wonder if these two people have a relationship.
After all, Lu Zhuhu's first goal in the World Cup was also scored by this guy's assist!
Yu Yang's long pass this time is a goal that runs through the diagonal, giving enough advance, Lu Zhuhu just runs wildly, Rafael Guerrero competes with him for speed, because Guerrero often advances with the ball, and this position is always forward, so in the arrangement of Brother Dalong, he has been consciously letting Lu Zhuhu play more sides.
Lu Zhuhu grabbed the ball first, Guerrero still chased wildly, this time the two almost ran to the front of the penalty area, seeing that Lu Zhuhu was about to get up and hit the goal, Guerrero quickly fouled first, stopping the Chinese team's attack this time.
gave him the feeling that Lu Zhuhu was even more fierce than Suarez in the last game - in the last game, Suarez was hit in the back by Guerrero during the frontcourt battle, and after falling to the ground in pain, he had to call the team doctor to come in for him to deal with him urgently, but Lu Zhuhu is a guy, there is no when he bumps into him, and if he doesn't eat your set, it is impossible to knock him over quietly.
Guerrero's heart pounded in front of the forbidden area, and there was some grief in his heart - the president should not always find this Chinese to eat chicken breast at home, making this guy's body as perverted as the president of the weak number.
What's more, the years are not forgiving, the 33-year-old Ronaldo has begun to face the danger of declining endurance, and the twenty-five or six-year-old Lu Zhuhu is full of energy.
Lu Zhuhu used the breakthrough to create a free kick on the right side outside the penalty area and personally took the penalty. It was also his first chance to play as a free-kick master.
I saw Lu Zhuhu unhurriedly rubbing the ball and crossing-the speed was not fast, and he flew to the top of his teammates' heads accurately, the first point of "Xiao Zhi" rubbed the ball, and the second point of the martial arts king came out!
Score the ball!
"Whoa"! The voices are boiling, and the red flag is waving! Wu Lei was ready to rush to the side of the stands to celebrate, but unfortunately, the referee determined through VAR that Wu Qiu Wang was in an offside position and the goal was invalid.
Although this goal failed to expand the score because the martial arts king started too early, the tactics were executed well, and Lu Zhuhu was able to put away some of his disrespect for the "jade-faced flying dragon" a little. Da Zhang Yuning and Xiao Zhi's height is 186cm, just follow the feeling in training, there is no need to adjust, and objectively speaking, Zhang Yuning's heading kung fu is still stronger than Xiao Zhi.
The offside goal made China happy, but for Portugal, the blow was not much smaller than conceding another goal. The opposite side has been better by its own side in terms of opportunity grasp and tactical coordination, but as a European team, as a European champion, it should have better tactics, but it has been reduced to the number of crazy crosses.
Santos was even more agitated than his players, and his gestures constantly reminded his players that they needed to be more focused defensively and must not give China another chance to threaten the goal so easily.
But in contrast, the Chinese team is even more excessive, and now it is not so easy to even let Ronaldo receive the ball, as soon as Ronaldo enters the penalty area, Yu Yang squeezes his space hard, and he can't turn around after receiving the ball, Ronaldo is still sending a cross on the left side of the penalty area under serious interference, and Guedes in the middle keeps up with the outflanking shot-
By this time, there was still no hope given up on Guedes.
It's just that the difference in Guedes's state on the field even exceeded the expectations of Da Long and Lu Zhuhu, who were not disturbed too much and Ronaldo's pass was just right.
Guedes covered his face with his hands, feeling as if the miracle of his last hat-trick was just a dream.
Santos, who was silent on the sidelines and shook his head slightly, finally lost all confidence in the king of the ball and signaled that Andre Silva could go to warm up.
Santos's over-reliance on Guedes has affected the team's attack, and in attack, Guedes needs to occupy a lot of space, but he has not been able to take on the role of transferring or pulling, and has returned to the inaction form that he had before the game against Uruguay.
And he still occupies the pit and doesn't, Ronaldo fought hard to make a one-on-two in the ribs, and no teammates ran accordingly - but this is not the fault of his teammates, but there is already this great god in the middle, and Guedes only completed a ridiculous shot after turning to the middle.
During the warm-up period in the A seat, Portugal adjusted a number of positions, Mario moved to the right midfield, Guedes went to the left midfield, and Bernardo Silva was freed up to move behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
After the adjustment, the three-dimensional sense of Portugal's attack has been significantly enhanced, after all, Santos is still a promising manager.
In the 71st minute, Bernardo Silva swam from the ribs, and after the cross, Mario adjusted the front point, Ronaldo transferred in the middle, and William Carvalho completed the goal on the line of the penalty area!
It was Portugal's best attacking organisation since the opening!
But Carvalho's shot was also not much better than Guedes, and it went out of the bottom line after Zhang Linpeng's leg touched.
Portugal took a corner kick from the left, but it was still Ronaldo who jumped up to head the goal, and the ball was still slightly higher.
In his career, Ronaldo doesn't know how many headers he has scored, but his state is not the best in this game, and his physical fitness is also consumed in the constant take-off, jumping, and scrambling, and the sweat can't stop rolling down, but he still has nothing, which is infinitely embarrassing.
In the 73rd minute, Lu Zhuhu was in the left position at the front of the Portuguese penalty area, received a pass from Wu Lei and shot with his feet, but unfortunately the ball was not strong and was obtained by Patricio.
Portugal's other players were looking for a chance to solve their team's problems in the little time left, and Bessi contributed a very good individual performance at this time, smashing the ball in a row from the left position outside the box, Ronaldo Ronaldo entered the box, saw that Bernardo Silva was about to cross, knew that he was not the opponent Zhang Chengdong was the first to foul, the referee awarded a free kick.
Time is getting less and less, like this opportunity is also particularly precious, Ronaldo this time standing in front of the ball panting much more intensely than before, in the 74th minute, Ronaldo took a free kick with his right foot and shot directly, the iconic action, strong force, the ball hit the wall but still bounced towards the goal, at this time Lu Zhuhu who was looking at the position of the direct barb in the penalty area to clear the siege-
President Luo looked at the ball with a blank eye, hoping to get in, but his former friends didn't intend to give him this face.
Portugal finally replaced Joao Mario with M. Fernandes, while also replacing Guedes with A-Silva. Despite knowing that this guy staying on the field can only be a scourge, the Portuguese fans are still a little disappointed.
Maybe a magical performance like the reversal against Uruguay will not be repeated.
After the substitution, Portugal did not quickly pull up the offensive again, but the Chinese team used the short run-in time after Portugal's continuous substitutions to play a quick counterattack-
Time came to the 78th minute, the Chinese team broke Fernandes' ball in the backfield to launch a counterattack, Lu Zhuhu received the ball from the right side of the midfield, and dribbled the ball all the way to the penalty area at high speed.
This shook Patricio to the point that he was about to jump, but Lu Zhuhu pushed the ball to the middle after a button!
The freshly dressed angry horse and the sassy meteor "Xiao Zhi" pulled out his feet and burst out!
Rumble!
The ball goes into the net, it's a certainty!
2 to 0!
Zhang Yuning, who came chic and generous, really made people feel like a "jade-faced flying dragon" at this time.
When the Chinese team was about to enter the 80th minute, they almost killed the game!
The stands became a sea of vibrant red, and the white of the Portuguese team only set off the red more vividly.
This goal is basically a copy of the first goal, Lu Zhuhu ran in, the Portuguese defenders fell, Lu Zhuhu's ball was passed, the players of the Chinese team shot, and the Portuguese team lost the goal.
Facts have proved that metabolism is an objective law, a generation of new people for the old, even if Master Pei is still just a hairy guy when the masters are famous all over the world, even during the Real Madrid period, Master Pei can sometimes give Lu Zhuhu in training to eat hardships and teach him to be a man - but now, the aging Portuguese defender line is really not the opponent of the popular students in football.
Two years ago, weren't they still European champion-level backline?
But in 2 years, it can really change a lot.
Brother Da Long hugged his arms and shook his legs to realize the ease of his mood at the moment. He didn't use 442 many times, but every time he had good results, and even scored crushing victories. Maybe it's because this routine is very concise and clear every time.
When Da Long Ge was a coach for a day for the players of the Republic of China, he recommended the formation of 442, which was in 1936, but 442 appeared 30 years later in 1966.
That year, England's genius 442 formation boosted England's confidence and the Three Lions, who had the right time and the right balance of attack and defence, went all the way to the semi-finals with a 0-0 draw with Uruguay, a 2-0 win over Mexico and a 2-0 win over France. The opponents in the semi-finals are in no way inferior to England, and there are even superstars.
Led by Eusebio "Black Panther", it is Portugal who have a high demand to win the championship.
Needless to say, even today, Eusebio as a person, his Benfica, and his Portugal are still being compared to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The European champion Portugal is now under Cristiano Ronaldo, but the world champion is perhaps still the closest Eusebio came to.
It's a pity that England of 442 has not conceded a goal from the group stage to the 1/4 finals, and it has not leaked!
In the end, in that groundbreaking match against Portugal, Bobby Moore's excellent leadership limited Eusebio's performance, and finally England defeated their opponents 2-1 to face Beckenbauer's West Germany and won the only World Cup title.
Today, although the game is not over yet, it seems that Portugal is still going to fall at the feet of the hateful 442.
And this time, they themselves used 442, but it looked like a copycat in front of the Chinese.
Portugal did not give up,
In the 82nd minute, Bernardo Silva made it back, and Ronaldo inserted a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, but the ball was slightly wide.
In the 84th minute, Ronaldo cut inside on the left side to the front of the penalty area and shot, and Yan Junlin flew to lift the ball out of the bottom line.
In the 85th minute, Portugal was cleared after a corner kick, and then Ronaldo received the ball and passed continuously, trying to find a space to shoot in front of the penalty area, but unfortunately he is no longer the guy with flowers at his feet when he was 20 years old, the Chinese team fouled him unceremoniously, and the referee whistled unceremoniously, but the Chinese team does not care about fouls, nor does it care about yellow cards.
Even if you punish us now, we don't care.
When the time finally came to stoppage time, it would have been impossible to equalise with two goals in a row without a miracle – and Cristiano Ronaldo was not in the Manchester United team at that time.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Ronaldo received a pass from Bernardo Silva and burst into the right side of the penalty area, and under the marking of the defender, he unreasonably forced his foot to shoot, and sent the ball into the net fiercely!
Portugal finally saved face with a late goal.
