Chapter 666: Harming Others and Hurting Yourself
Vardy likes to see people who hate him so much that they are helpless about him, I don't know if this is a bad taste, just like many book lovers always like to make noise about the author's women's clothing.
Pepe's already inflated anger dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was already expected by Vardy.
It is impossible for the human spirit to maintain extreme emotions for a long time without any stimulation, maybe you were angry and angry ten minutes ago, but after ten minutes, you may have forgotten about it, no matter how bad it is, the level of anger will be reduced a lot, which is in line with psychology.
Of course, there is also the kind of person who hates you for the rest of his life if you step on him, after all, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Pepe is no exception, although he has always had demonic attributes on the court, but in life, in his own words, he is also ordinary and real.
So after a while, Vardy didn't tease him, and although he was angry, he didn't have the urge to tear Vardy apart.
Portugal's attack is quite threatening, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo, a super goalscorer, causing a lot of problems for England.
Cristiano Ronaldo has always been a proud person, especially last season at Manchester United, who completely carried the offensive banner of Manchester United, and has already become a real big man.
I thought that this match would be the pinnacle duel between himself and Vardy, the top level of world football, and he made a lot of preparations for this.
But what I didn't expect was that when he got to the game, because of the confrontation between Pepe and Vardy, he himself suddenly seemed to have become a supporting role, and he didn't even have a few more lines than the dragon set, and his only role was to be a background board in the game, and then get a box lunch off the court.
It wasn't the game he wanted.
So when it was Portugal's turn to attack, Ronaldo was full of fire and completely exploded.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Ronaldo competed for a corner kick, and the ball was slightly above the crossbar;
In the 31st minute, it was Ronaldo again, who also took the ball on the left side of the counterattack, suddenly pulled the ball horizontally, dodged the shooting space, and cut inside and kicked, but the shot was slightly positive, and was pressed under Joe Hart alertly;
3 minutes later, Ronaldo used his body to cut off the ball at Beckham's feet, suddenly accelerated the counterattack with the ball, and came to a long-range shot between two defenders in England, the angle was very tricky, Joe Hart was helpless, but unfortunately, the ball actually hit the post and finally popped up the bottom line.
Ronaldo grinned regretfully and held his head, this shot felt very good, he thought it was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect it to hit the post in the end.
Looking at Vardy, who was gloating not far away, Ronaldo was eager to say MMP to him.
I'm not Vardy, so why should the jamb have trouble with me?
However, Portugal's attacking climax has almost come to an end, and the two teams have returned to a state of fierce competition in midfield.
Scolari was so anxious on the sidelines that he only grabbed his hair, but the problem was that he had no hair in front of him.
England's comprehensive strength is stronger than Portugal's, if Portugal does not use the momentum to make a fuss and cannot grasp the details of the changes on the field, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with England.
Scolari knows that, but the problem is that knowing the gravity of the matter and having a way to fix it are two different things.
At least now Scolari doesn't have a good solution to this problem, and you can't expect him to cook without rice, so you can't expect him to make a table full of men out of a cabbage.
England gradually gained the upper hand again, because his midfield iron triangle is both offensive and defensive, and it is difficult to say that the midfield of any team can fully contend with it, and Portugal's engineer-type midfield combination is already rare to be able to resist a wave, and it is difficult to ask for too much.
Vardy is back up front and there is no need for him to play the role of butcher.
And next, he will face Pepe head-to-head again, which is inevitable, this is a system requirement, and it is also a battle of dignity.
Compete for the title of the strongest warrior monk!
Of course, winning is the most important thing, but you can't get Pepe, you probably won't be able to score at all.
Vardy has always felt that he is not a reckless man, and he may not be seen through when he changes into women's clothes to show off in the market, how can he be a rough man?
Therefore, Vardy thinks that if he really competes with Pepe, it may be a bit unsuitable.
Kung fu is not necessarily the kind of fist to the flesh, such as Yongchun.
Although Vardy will not be Yongchun, and Yongchun is not a Shaolin boxing technique, Vardy can fully learn from this model.
Can you say that the Great Shift of the Universe is not martial arts?
Isn't it martial arts to use strength?
Static braking is not martial arts?
Anyway, Vardy thinks that as long as he can take care of Pepe, it is called martial arts.
So Vardy changed his strategy of going head-to-head with Pepe, and used more brains and IQ to win.
To coincide, to win.
Late in the first half, Jamie Vardy finally returned from the flanks to the middle for a head-to-head duel with Pepe.
In the 39th minute, Vardy took the ball with his back to the outside of the penalty area, quickly turned to the left and shook a shot, but immediately moved his center of gravity, turned from the right side to bypass Moutinho's defense, and faced the Portuguese goal head-on.
However, instead of dribbling forward quickly, Vardy dribbled slowly, as if there was already a defender in front of him.
Vardy is just giving Moutinho a chance to keep up with him, otherwise he will leave the Portuguese midfielder behind, and how will Vardy's plan be executed.
Sure enough, seeing that Vardy had already headed towards the Portuguese penalty area, Pepe immediately rushed over and unceremoniously shoveled out, this is not a penalty area, even if the foul is not a penalty, Pepe is without psychological pressure.
Seeing that Pepe's exposed soles were about to shovel Vardy's ankles, the fans in front of the TV couldn't help but exclaim, is Vardy going to be seriously injured?
But in this lightning and flint, Vardy, who had been observing Pepe, jumped up and down, and his feet were more than 40 centimeters above the ground, and he didn't believe that Pepe dared to kick his feet into the sky!
Sure enough, Pepe was not so bold and was leapfrogged by Vardy.
But the next scene made everyone jaw-dropping.
Although Pepe passed Vardy, there was still someone behind him, and this person was not thrown off by Vardy.
Because there was a Vardy in the middle, the two of them had a blocked line of sight, and they didn't see each other's movements at the first time, so they didn't have time to dodge at all.
Pepe shoveled on Moutinho's foot with one kick, only to hear a scream, and Moutinho rolled on the ground with his foot covered.
Cannibalism!
Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, their mouths wide open, unable to speak.
But before everyone's consternation passed, something even more surprising came next.
Vardy jumped high, dodging Pepe's flying tackle, but the whole person rolled forward, and when he landed, Vardy pretended that there was nothing he could do, and fell on Pepe.
Of course, Vardy didn't sit so sincerely, otherwise Pepe would not have been as simple as holding his stomach and screaming, and he probably wouldn't have broken a few ribs.
The three of them rolled together like this, this was a tragic three-car collision accident, and the fans were stunned and speechless.
Vardy patted his ass and got up, and walked with a limp as if he had fallen lightly, but it was all for show, and nothing happened at all.
Pepe and Moutinho, on the other hand, were a bit miserable, both being carried off the pitch on stretchers and receiving treatment.
Vardy didn't feel that he was too much at all, although he designed Pepe and Moutinho to kill each other, but if Pepe hadn't tackled so fiercely against himself, how could Moutinho be tackled!
I don't hurt anyone, but please don't push my limits either!
Everything has cause and effect, and if you want to blame it, you will be blamed for the black hand first.
Jamie Vardy is like a rebounding shield, and if you're in the wind, I'm in good shape, and if you're in bad spirits, I'm not going to be polite either.
At this time, everyone looked at Vardy in awe, and felt that it was better not to provoke this guy, because judging from Vardy's past, those who opposed him usually did not end well.
Everyone saw Pepe's fierce tackle just now, and if it was replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have retired from the field injured at this time.
But Vardy not only didn't have anything, but also let Pepe and Moutinho kill each other, accidentally injured his own people, and later fell on Pepe, using Pepe as a meat pad.
Could there be anything weirder and more incredible?
For Pepe, this is harming others and ultimately harming herself!
Pepe and Moutinho were treated on the sidelines, and as the game continued, England took advantage of Portugal's disadvantage of playing two fewer games to launch the most ferocious attack and wanted to kill Portugal with a single hammer.
While Vardy was running, he squeezed his eyebrows at Pepe on the sidelines, with an angry expression, but unfortunately Pepe was in a cold sweat at this time, and he didn't care about fighting with Vardy at all.
Beckham's diagonal long pass to the feet of Joe Cole, after Joe Cole and Vardy made another one-two, everyone thought he would send the ball to goal, but they didn't expect Joe Cole to play an inverted triangle pass, and the ball was sent to Lampard's feet.
Frank Lampard didn't waste another chance this time around, slotting home Ricardo's trademark blast past the back of the net.
The stadium was instantly boiling and falling into a carnival atmosphere, and the cheers of the fans were deafening, as if they could shake people's hearts.
2:0
England are already two goals ahead of Portugal, and if not a game-winning goal for England, it puts a heavier weight on the scales of victory in England's side.
Hold the cards in one hand!
The England players rushed to Frank Lampard's side, hugged each other and celebrated their goals with great excitement, as if they had seen the final beckoning to them!
