Chapter 667: Victory is not martial

The goal was not abrupt, but at least it was a surprise, and the Portuguese players felt extremely aggrieved in their hearts.

England's first goal was to take advantage of Pepe's absence on the pitch to score more and score less, and now Portugal has two fewer people on the field, England is completely bullying people with more people.

If there were the same number of people on the pitch, England might not be able to score!

The same feeling is in the minds of most Portuguese fans, England are not able to win.

But a goal is a goal, and who is to blame for Pepe and Moutinho going down injured?

At the end of the day, it's self-inflicted.

The championship trophy does not lack an ear just because the championship is not martial, and besides, the victory is only Portugal's own definition.

It's just that many fans are not without emotion about England's two goals, and Vardy has once again become the one who decides the outcome of England.

The first goal was scored by Vardy himself after he took Pepe off the field;

In the second goal, Jamie Vardy brought Pepe and Moutinho off at the same time, and even if he didn't score, he was still the biggest contributor behind the scenes.

Jamie Gundy has never been a star who only helps the team with goals, and it is an exaggeration to say that every cell in his body can contribute to the team.

How lucky England are to have Vardy!

Looking at the English players celebrating the goal, even if the Portuguese players did not feel disheartened, the blow in their hearts was enough for them to be silent for a long time.

Cristiano Ronaldo, in particular, was ready to lead Portugal to the top of Europe, but when he came to England, he encountered an unprecedented crisis, a crisis that could bury Portugal.

Perhaps, Ronaldo felt the powerlessness of Vardy when he single-handedly led the whole team forward.

Pepe clutched his stomach on the sidelines with a hideous expression, England's goal was like a dagger pierced deep into the heart, and the blood had already flowed out of the heart, flowing down the body, and the ground was bloody.

Anger swelled up, as if it had broken through the top of his head, making him completely lose his mind.

His only thought now was to rush onto the pitch and tear the damn Vardy in front of him to shreds.

Gritting his teeth and waiting for the game to resume, Pepe returned to the pitch as he continued his energy and prepared to leave a mark for Vardy to remember.

It's just that Vardy is quite a chicken thief, seeing that Pepe exudes that kind of avenger atmosphere, Vardy is far away from him, anyway, England needs to defend at this time.

Before Pepe could find a chance to make a move on Jamie Vardy, the referee had already blown the whistle to end the first half.

Pepe felt deflated, as if the whole world was against her.

The English players walked off the pitch with laughter, and Frank Lampard, who scored his first goal in this European Cup, came over to chat with Vardy, you know, a lot of credit for his goal goes to Vardy.

Jamie Vardy had a grudge against Frank Lampard a long time ago, and now he laughs heartlessly when he talks about the embarrassment of the two having pulled each other's pants.

However, unlike the relaxed and festive atmosphere in England, the Portuguese players walked off the pitch with gloomy faces and the feeling of a cloud floating overhead, completely in the rain.

It's no wonder that the Portuguese players are depressed, and whoever falls behind will definitely not be happy.

It's just that the Portuguese players are more worried about how to get back into the game in the second half and even complete an epic comeback.

If someone has done the relevant statistics of the European Cup, everyone will find that in the knockout round in the history of the European Cup, there is only one reversal of more than two goals, and it happened in the semi-finals of the first European Championship in 1960, which can be regarded as an ancient record.

At that time, the host French team had already led Yugoslavia 4-2 in the second half, and in the final 15 minutes, the Yugoslav team completed an incredible miracle, they scored three goals in a row, eliminated the French team with a score of 5-4, and advanced to the European Championship final.

In the following European Championships, such a miracle was never staged again.

It's not that Portugal doesn't have a chance at all, but everyone knows that Portugal has a slim chance.

First of all, England's strength is stronger than Portugal's, and after having taken the absolute initiative, England can play more targeted, and Portugal's second-half may face an England that focuses on quick counter-attacks.

This is probably one thing that all teams are going to collapse because there is nothing they can do for England when they really take the lead.

In the England dressing room, Heynckes changed his style of play without surprise, focusing on high pressing and defensive counter-attacks, and never gave Portugal any chance in the second half.

Vardy shrugged, it seems that he will continue to face Pepe in the second half, presumably the task of the system is not so easy to complete, Pepe obviously still has combat power, and he has not won yet.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo was relatively quiet in the first half, and even if he performed well for a period of time, he was unable to lead Portugal out of the gloom of England.

The same is true in his previous life, although Ronaldo is the absolute leader of Portugal, he has no way to score goals in the national team as well as when he was at club, and even many times his teammates show more brilliance than him, which can be seen from Ronaldo's lack of goals in the World Series.

When the players of the two teams came out in the second half, Vardy could clearly feel Ronaldo's endless fighting spirit, of course, and Pepe, who was also full of fighting spirit, as for whether he wanted to play well or play well, only he knew.

Vardy was always careful not to give Pepe any chance, and if he failed to do so, it would be really bad if he got injured because of it.

Pepe's lethality should not be underestimated.

Before Ronaldo's kick-off, Vardy couldn't help but show off his superiority, at least Vardy's team and Ronaldo's team, it is difficult to say that they are in the same grade.

"It's a pity, I'm afraid I'm going to win this time, just like the previous agreement, I will go all the way to the end, with your will, to win the championship, of course, I can borrow you to touch the championship medal!" Vardy said with a teas.

Cristiano Ronaldo's face was black in an instant, and he wished that he was now saying the same thing to Vardy.

Ignoring Vardy, Ronaldo flicked the ball to Deco and the second half of the game officially began.

Sure enough, Portugal, which was two goals behind, had almost given up defending in order to get back the score, and pressed all over the line, and they had no way out.

England's playing style is more advantageous, with high pressing and layered defense, which makes Portugal's attack blocked, and England's sharp counterattack is always like a sword hanging over Portugal's head, so that Portugal does not dare to act arbitrarily.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Ronaldo's elevator free kick was blocked by Joe Hart, and then, England played a wave of quick and sharp counterattacks, but in the end, Joe Cole's shot was also blocked by the Portuguese goalkeeper and returned in vain.

The offense and defense were easy, and it became Portugal's attack, Deco received the ball outside the penalty area in the middle, and a through ball penetrated the England defense, and Ronaldo went straight into the small penalty area to get the ball, but finally the shot from a small angle grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line.

Turning to England's strong attack, Beckham's long-range shot hit the calf of the Portuguese defender and flew out of the bottom line, and the next corner kick from Beckham was also cleared by the Portuguese defender out of the penalty area.

......

A series of fast-paced attacks from both sides played brilliantly, dazzlingly, and even too excited to catch their breath, for fear of missing any wonderful shots.

The only regret is that neither side has scored.

After a wave of mutual attacks, the players on both sides also needed to take a little rest and catch their breath, and the intense game also made their physical fitness enter a period of low ebb.

On the one hand, Portugal is too strict with his own marking, and he is afraid that he will be fouled by the opponent as soon as he receives the ball and waste a good opportunity to counterattack, on the other hand, he is also watching the loopholes in Portugal's backward defense.

If there is any hole in the Portuguese defence, it must be the hot-tempered Pepe.

Whether it is Carvalho, Ferreira or Bosingwa, they are all well-known defensive giants, and they may have the strength to play as a starter in any big team.

Of course, this is not to say that Pepe is not strong defensively, on the contrary, Pepe is also very strong, otherwise he would not have played as the main player for so many seasons at Real Madrid.

It's just that Pepe's weakness is too obvious, and when deliberately targeted, it is definitely a fatal hole in the Portuguese defense.

Angered, Pepe is not able to think rationally.

Vardy thought about it and decided to tease Pepe, which was the key to winning the game and getting the job done.

If Cristiano Ronaldo were to know what Vardy was thinking, he would be devastated.

said that you loved and killed each other, but you abandoned me and threw yourself into Pepe's arms, do you think you are transparent?

Another England counter-attack, Beckham made a long pass, Vardy had already sprinted at high speed to the Portuguese half, and after the ball landed, he was ready to fight with the Portuguese defenders for the landing point.

As far as Vardy could see, Pepe had already killed sideways, flying sideways, and kicking towards the ball, with that hideous face, I am afraid that being a door god can make the little ghost dare not enter the door.

But Vardy had expected Pepe to attack him, so he was prepared, and when everyone let out an exclamation, Vardy also flew sideways and kicked the ball.

If you look at it from the side, this picture at this time looks like a fighting game played when I was a child, two game characters fly up at the same time and kick each other, the only thing that feels a little inconsistent is the black and white ball between the two.

Burst!

The ball flew far to the side after both sides kicked it at the same time.

And this time it really became a head-to-head duel between the two, with the two feet kicking together hard, and hitting each other hard!
