When Vardy stood in front of the ball and was about to kick off, he looked at Ronaldo and found that Ronaldo was also looking at him, his eyes were full of endless fighting spirit.

Perhaps for Ronaldo, this game is the best chance to surpass Vardy.

At present, in world football, Vardy has long been recognized as the world's No. 1 person, even if Inter Milan loses in the Champions League this season, his position is still stable, just like Xiao Luo a few years ago.

Kaka's performances have declined last season and it is no longer believed that he can pose any threat to Jamie Vardy in the Footballer of the Year selection, and even his position as the second man is no longer secure.

After supporting Manchester United's attack, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance last season was extremely eye-catching, and he has completed the counterattack on Kaka and has become the second man in world football, chasing Vardy closely.

If Ronaldo can lead Portugal to victory over the mighty England, will the title of the number one player in world football fall to him?

Yes, he and Vardy are good friends, but that doesn't mean that good friends have to be humble in everything, just as Vardy didn't let him go.

Compared to himself, if he can beat Vardy, Vardy will be happy for himself if he stands in the position of a good friend.

Thinking of this, Ronaldo's expression unconsciously became serious and full of fighting spirit.

Vardy knows that Ronaldo has always wanted to challenge himself, because he is a person who never admits defeat, and in his previous life he was able to chase from 1:5 to 5:5.

If Ronaldo had given up at that time, then there would have been no such thing as a peerless double pride.

At that time, I was always pressed by Messi, and with Ronaldo's pride, what a painful period of time it would be.

It is not surprising, then, that Ronaldo wants to challenge himself.

Perhaps, having a person in front of him or alongside him is the biggest motivation for a person.

As the referee's whistle blew, Vardy flicked the ball to Wayne Rooney, and the world-renowned European Championship semi-finals kicked off.

With the ball out of the way, Vardy was already unstoppably rushing towards the Portuguese half, he knew that his team-mate's pass would be able to fly into the midfield and fly to his feet, all he had to do was to kick the ball into Portugal's door at all costs, this is his pursuit and mission.

However, England or Vardy's opening raid tactics have been successful too many times, enough for any strong team to guard against it, so before Beckham's long ball came over, Vardy was already held back by the Portuguese player without the ball, almost tearing Vardy's shirt and not allowing Vardy to rush into the threat area.

The referee's whistle blew decisively, followed by boos in the stands, and the England fans looked as if they were going to eat Moutinho.

This is an exaggerated defense!

It's been less than 10 seconds and Vardy doesn't even have the ball at his feet, so you guys didn't let Vardy go?

Do you think this is a way to send opponents to the free throw line when chasing points at the end of a basketball game?

The referee awarded Moutinho a foul but did not give him a yellow card, much to the displeasure of the fans.

The cost of this foul is too low!

Vardy didn't feel too angry, and if he did, he would have been out of smoke without being violated by his opponent a dozen times a game.

Glaring at Moutinho, Vardy headed towards the Portugal penalty area, a set-piece that was too far from goal to be out of his reach.

However, the opponent's foul made Vardy a lot more alert, and he already had a hunch that this game would not be easy.

Frank Lampard fired a long-range shot but it didn't threaten the Portugal goal, and the world wave was not so easy.

When it was Portugal's turn to attack, Vardy found that Portugal had changed its style of play, from controlling the midfield and attacking step by step, to now being more fast-oriented, with two wings frequently impacting England's defense, while the middle has Ronaldo's deterrence and Deco's ability to insert back, and the overall tactics are quite threatening.

This is very reasonable, at least in the face of strong England, except for Spain, which is dominated by passing and controlling tactics, who would dare to attack England head-to-head with gongs and drums, at least Scolari is not stupid.

Portugal's first attack caused England a lot of problems, Nani quickly broke through Ashleycole's defense on the right and crossed underneath, although his cross was not very reliable, but it was still guaranteed to hit the box when there was almost no defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaped high under the mark of team-mate Rio Ferdinand, and his excellent bounce allowed him to gain the upper hand in the confrontation and head straight towards goal.

Thankfully, they weren't in front of goal, giving Joe Hart plenty of time to react, otherwise England's young goalkeeper would have struggled to make an effective block.

If you purely talk about the ability of the center forward position, Ronaldo may not be inferior to any center forward.

England's players woke up from a dream and finally started to face the game squarely.

Portugal is not a fish belly, the world's top team, can really pose a threat to England.

The proud John Bulls are optimistic about the whole world, but they have already inflated their emotions, thinking that all opponents are just chickens and dogs, and even the favorite Germany is easily cleaned up by themselves in the group stage, who else can stop them?

If Portugal's performance in knocking out the Netherlands didn't make them wary, they are now feeling the threat from Portugal.

They remembered that Portugal's achievements in several major competitions were more than eight major roads in England.

At Euro 2000, Portugal reached the semi-finals and defeated England in the group stage.

Although the 02 World Cup only stopped in the group stage, it was eliminated by South Korea, which is boring, the world knows, everyone remembers that Spain and Italy were played by South Korea, but few people remember that Portugal is also a victim of the host;

In 04, as the host, Portugal lost to Greece in the final, but the runner-up result has made history;

In the 06 World Cup, Portugal once again reached the semi-finals, proving the strength of its world's top team.

Portugal's results in the tournament are not to say that they crush England, but at least they are better than England, and the Three Lions are the favorites to win every World Series, so they really have no right to be proud of in front of Portugal.

England, who have been much more cautious, began to play steadily, arranging the midfield, and going all out when defending, without the arrogant mentality of "let you attack, you can't attack".

England's first shot on goal came in the 8th minute of the first half, England's midfielder Iron Triangle passed continuously, due to Vardy's pull and Rooney's retreat, there was a fatal gap in the middle of Portugal, Gerrard suddenly took the ball forward at high speed, and in three steps and two steps had broken through to the front of the Portuguese penalty area, and before the Portuguese players defended in place, he shot fiercely.

The shot was powerful, but everyone had already judged that Gerrard would shoot, so Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo was fully prepared, but because the ball was too powerful, he didn't dare to save directly, but chose to hit it with both fists.

Both teams were jockeying for the spot, with Rooney just around and the ball touching first.

Chest stop to unload the ball, but the Portuguese defenders around him were already pressing, and Rooney didn't have enough time to make a move.

So Rooney turned around and gave the ball back to Beckham, and the heartthrob didn't stop the ball and shot it directly, and the ball flew towards the goal in an arc.

This seems to be Beckham's best way of shooting, as if he were kicking a Moon Cutlass free-kick.

Then, today's scimitar may be a little rusty, and the ball actually flew around the post and flew out of the bottom line, making a false alarm.

There were bursts of applause from the English fans in the stands, although the team has not yet scored, but if it continues to play like this, the attack will create a threat, and Portugal can only be restrained.

Portugal do feel a lot of pressure, England's overall quality speaks for itself, and now on the pitch, they feel it more clearly, England's attack, there is a suffocating feeling.

Both teams were not conservative, and they showed that they were most familiar with offense and defense at the beginning, and such an offensive battle made the fans addicted.

However, the fly in the ointment is that it seems that the number one star Vardy was a bit quiet in the game, except for the opening raid that was interrupted without the ball, and at other times it seemed as if he had disappeared from the pitch.

Could it be that he was cowardly because of that off-ball foul?

The answer is clearly not.

Vardy has encountered countless barbarians on the pitch, and even if not the most violations in history, he can rank among active players, and he is not a bird for this kind of innocuous foul.

The reason why Vardy didn't make too much of a show was because he was more of a chance to create opportunities for his teammates by pulling, knowing that he alone could attract at least two Portuguese defenders, and his deterrent power made Portugal never dare to let him move freely.

If it weren't for Vardy's pull, Gerrard might not have had such a good chance to cut forward just now, and there would not have been Beckham's long-range shot later.

It was also a new vision for Jamie Vardy, who was inspired by a Portuguese foul in the opening game.

If Vardy is always at the front, although he is powerful, he will always feel that the attack is not so painful.

The fist must be withdrawn first, and then punched out, so as to have more power.

The current model is "Vardy is everywhere", so if it were changed to "suddenly pull out a Vardy", would it be more fatal to the opponent?

When everyone had already unconsciously ignored Vardy, it was when Vardy suddenly flashed his sword.

Vardy doesn't know if this will work, but it's totally worth trying.
