"In the club, we fought side by side, but I didn't expect that in the World Cup, we would become enemies, and this experience is really ...... It feels weird. ”

"Of course, it's also fresh. That's fine, let's have to compete to see who is better in the national team. ”

"Don't show mercy later, I won't show mercy anyway, as long as you dare to perform well, I will come over to take care of you and take care of you fiercely!"

After Pepe and other club teammates shook hands with Fan Bizhuang and hugged each other, they said half-jokingly and half-seriously, although there was ridicule in their tone, but Fan Bizhuang could see from their eyes that they were serious, if they were really too active in the game, these guys would not leave half a face.

Think about it, in modern society, football is like a war, no matter how everyone has a private relationship, on the football field, everyone is trying their best to win, especially in a stage of great glory like the World Cup, no one will "let go" because of personal friendship.

In other words, Fan Bizhuang, no matter how good the relationship with his friends is, he still does his best in the game.

"I think so too. So ......" Fan Bizhuang smiled and nodded, "You're welcome, don't be polite to me." Because I don't know what politeness is! ”

"You guy. It's really loveable and hateful to always be so confident! ”

Pepe and the others were stunned for a moment, then laughed and patted Fan Bizhuang on the shoulder.

Fan Bizhuang nodded, pouted again, when it comes to self-confidence, he is not lacking, but when it comes to self-confidence to the extent of pride, he is not the most prominent one.

The team turned, the players shook hands and hugged each other one by one, and finally, Fan Bizhuang walked in front of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sure enough, as he expected, C. Ronaldo looked like a bull and coax after hugging him.

"It's going to be a good game and it's going to be a great game that is destined to go down in history because I'm going to lead my team to beat you! Fan, I think you have to be clear about the fact that the final victor will be us! Because of the Portuguese team, there is me Cristiano. Ronaldo! ”

"There is only one Ronaldo like no other in the world!"

Fan Bizhuang suddenly had black lines all over his face.

In terms of athleticism and strength, Fan Bizhuang admires Cristiano Ronaldo, his ability and contribution to the team are obvious to all, and his focus and attitude towards the game cannot be faulted.

However, what makes Fan Bizhuang unable to complain is that this guy is really too narcissistic, and he almost always puts the phrase "there is only one Ronaldo" on his lips, maybe for himself, this is a good way to motivate himself, but for the people around him, after listening too much and listening for a long time, his ears are really about to collapse.

It's as if this time in South Africa, C. Roth called to say that his confidence and determination were not enough, and that he had to do it again in the pre-match handshake session, which was simply ......

Fan Bizhuang didn't know how to respond, and dropped a sentence "Good luck!" After that, he shook off the other party's hand and fled.

"Remember, my team will beat you, and I will beat you!"

C. Rowe was stunned. Then he shouted at Fan Bizhuang's back.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At 5:20, the two teams were already standing in their respective halves, the referee raised his hand to look at the time, blew the whistle, and the last quarter-final battle officially began!

Although Cristiano Ronaldo showed a very strong determination to win before the game, the fact is that the current Matador army is at a peak, and Portugal has been declining in the overall level after the retirement of the golden generation, and there is a certain gap between the strength of the two teams.

C. Ronaldo is very good, if measured by the transfer value, he can be regarded as the number one person in the world in today's football.

But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and in the Portuguese team, whose overall strength is barely European, he does not have much strong support from his teammates, and is more like standing out from the crowd.

In the opening ten minutes, the pace of the game was not fast, and it could even be described as slow and procrastinating, because the two teams were very familiar with each other's tactical routines and technical and tactical play, and both had a certain fear of each other, so the two teams were more tentative attacks.

Both dare not press on it too much, it is like playing according to the shadows, although the two teams are strong and strong, but the weak side also has the ability to score goals, C. Ronaldo's ability is recognized by the whole world, and the Spanish team naturally does not dare to take it lightly.

Therefore, in this game, Bosque's strategic thinking is to focus on stability. Competing against weaker opponents, the Spanish team can attack wildly without any scruples, but when facing a team that has the ability to give them a fatal blow, the trick is not as good as the royal way.

However, the overall strength of the Spanish team is indeed better than that of Portugal, so with the strength of the frontal tough, as long as it plays normally, then it will not be too much of a problem.

And the Spanish team's ability to pass and control the ball is not afraid of such a steady and steady scene, sure enough, after more than ten minutes of dull play, the overall advantage of the Spanish team is gradually reflected, Portugal's pressing is very active, but the distance between the Spanish players is kept very reasonable, their passes are fast and fast, often a kick pass, the number of mistakes is very small, accurate and fast, the Matador Army with a performance like artistic football, made the best interpretation of this word.

Spain and Portugal are typical representatives of Latin football, but obviously, the Spanish team, which has the strongest midfielder in the world, at this stage, is leaving Portugal far behind, the tacit cooperation between the players, the fast and smooth passing, almost let the opponent's pressing all do useless work, and the central axis led by Xavi and Iniesta, after gradually establishing the initiative of the game, is more active to sort out the rhythm of the whole team, they use the pass to take Portugal around, and a sudden pass, But it can also provide cannonballs to the forward line and create danger for the goal.

The situation gradually became clearer, and although no goal was yet scored, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the pace of the game was in the hands of the Spanish team.

Simão stepped forward aggressively, but Xavi moved faster, barely observing, and passed the ball straight away...... The ball landed at Iniesta's feet. Simão is busy again! ”

"Widely regarded as the best midfielder in the world, Spain's pass turned the ball around! C. Ronaldo came around from behind, and he seemed to want to sneak up on Pique's feet, oh dangerous...... A false alarm! Pique has long seen C. Ronaldo's approach, the Barcelona central defender made a decisive shot, and C. Ronaldo returned in vain! ”

"The game is in Spanish time! Their passing was a real delight to watch! Oo......oo Don't stop the ball, don't observe, half-turn and volley directly, the football is slightly above the goal...... Spain is starting to create more and more opportunities, Portugal has to be careful! ”

As the clock ticked 25 minutes, Spain's skilful and accurate passing created an advantage, and the number of shots on goal began to increase, and Portugal began to be in danger in front of goal.

In just a few minutes, Spain had three shots on goal in a row, and although they could not successfully break the net, the huge pressure still made the Portuguese defenders tremble.

And full of confidence before the game, determined to do a big job to let the Spanish team see the powerful C. Ronaldo, this game until this time did not have too good performance, let alone goals, even the number of shots and breakthroughs are few, in the face of Spain's strong passing control, Portugal has very few threatening offensives, in the face of such a general trend, C. Ronaldo does not have many opportunities to get the ball, and there is no way to talk about it.

Half an hour before the first half, C. Ronaldo played very depressed, under the overall suppression of the Spanish team, he basically did not get any decent performance opportunities at the forefront, so C. Ronaldo could only retreat his position, retreat and retreat, and finally almost close to the center circle, the position of C. Ronaldo is a striker, but at this time there is no difference between the position and a central midfielder.

However, thanks to the retreat of C. Ronaldo, although it is farther away from the goal, Portugal has an extra player who can hold the ball in the midfield, C. Ronaldo's individual ability is very strong, and the Spanish team has to divide his troops to defend him, so that Cristiano Ronaldo plays a role in containment, and Portugal also has a bridgehead that can provide support in the counterattack.

So after half an hour of the game, the scene almost became the main attack of the Spanish team, and the Portuguese team focused on defense, while using the individual ability of the stars to carry out quick counterattacks.

Overall, the Spanish team is the dominant side, but the breakthrough and impact of stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Simão also show good power, although there are not many opportunities, but they can also bring a lot of trouble to Casillas.

The tempo of the game was not fast, and the Spanish team paid attention to the tempo, using the passing combination to patiently find holes in the opposition defence.

The Portuguese team can only fight back by means of anti-counterattack, and the initiative on the field is not on their side, so even if they want to disrupt the rhythm and not let themselves be led by the nose, they can't do it.

But the best scoring opportunity in the first half did not appear on the Spanish side, in the 39th minute, using a quick counterattack, Simão quickly dribbled the ball from the side to the middle, the mediocre C. Rowe pulled out of the penalty area, Simão immediately passed the ball over, C. Ronaldo with his back to the ball with his heel to the ball, on the side of his teammate Meleles high-speed diagonal insertion, in the face of C. Ronaldo's heel pass, Meleleles pulled out his foot and shot.

Blocked from view, Casillas almost surrendered to the heavy bombardment on the penalty line, but the ball flew up the stands against the crossbar.

Portugal missed a great chance to take the lead!
