As the players from both sides stood in the tunnel and lined up to enter the field, the players who knew each other well had already begun to talk.

Figo and David Beckham hugged, the two superstars were teammates at the Galacticos and are still playing for Real Madrid;

Maniche and Carvalho were in conversation with the likes of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, who were Chelsea teammates;

As for Ronaldo, he naturally stayed with Vardy and Rooney, and the image of the three good friends has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, this match is a direct competition between the three, so the atmosphere is definitely different.

Before the start of the game, there is also a special ceremony where the captains of both teams read a declaration against racial discrimination, which is very necessary.

You know, in the England team, there are several victims of racial discrimination, such as Campbell.

However, such a simple ceremony actually had an accident, which was really unexpected.

Beckham talked for a long time, only to realize that the microphone he was holding was actually broken.

The fans just saw the heartthrob gambling, but they didn't say anything at all, and thought that Beckham was going to openly engage in racial discrimination!

A big oolong was almost born like this, and if Beckham hadn't found the staff to change the microphone, it is estimated that he would have confirmed this bad name.

What's even more speechless is that most fans habitually dump the pot on Vardy, because under the influence of this aura, nothing happens unexpectedly

When he was about to kick off, Vardyra walked past Beckham and whispered: "I won't go back to defend near the penalty area in this game!" ”

Beckham looked at Vardy in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Vardy rarely returns to help defend near the penalty area, and when he does have to contribute to the defence, it is in Vardy's area on the flanks or rampage near midfield to make the opposition uncomfortable.

And the interim coach didn't give him too many defensive tasks, even if he didn't go back to defense, it's normal, after all, everyone is still counting on his counterattack.

But why did Vardy make this point out today?

Perhaps seeing the doubts in Beckham's mind, Vardy scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Isn't Cristiano on the other side, I'm really afraid that when I'm defending, he passes the ball, I think he's passing the ball to me, if you just come and volley, then it's a lot of fun!"

David Beckham was stunned by Vardy's speech, speechless.

Hey, this game hasn't started yet, you've already thought about oolong, and you're very self-aware of yourself.

However, he felt that Vardy's worries were not unreasonable, after all, Vardy habitually had convulsions, and if he really came to such a time, Robinson would definitely be dumbfounded.

"Okay, just feel free!"

Beckham patted Vardy on the shoulder and said with a palpitation.

Let's hope that this doesn't happen, otherwise it's really a big fun!

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the strong dialogue of the 1/4 finals also kicked off.

As many people think, Portugal, which lost Deco, did not make a big fuss in the midfield, Scolari's team made more fuss on the two wings on the basis of solid defense, at least the flying wing combination of Figo and Ronaldo is one of the best in world football, which has always been Portugal's sharpest attacking starting point.

England unceremoniously controlled the midfield and then attacked slowly, and if they were to rush like headless flies in the game against Portugal, it would be no different from suicide.

On the pitch, England had the advantage of possession, but Portugal was the bigger attacking threat, with Cristiano Ronaldo almost beating Ashley Cole.

In the 8th minute of the first half, Ronaldo shook off Ashley Cole and suddenly cut inside with his left foot, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the crossbar, shocking the England players in a cold sweat.

As a teammate and good friend, Vardy naturally knows Ronaldo's ability, and a full-fledged Ronaldo is really not something Ashley Cole can restrict.

In the future, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the peerless duo in world football, and Ashley Cole has never been able to join the ranks of superstars, which is already very telling.

Whether a person's heart is strong or not determines how much he can achieve in the end.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a star who plays better the bigger the game, and when he plays to his full potential, Ashley Cole can't stop him.

No way, in order not to let Ronaldo be too arrogant, Vardy simply frequently pulled to the side, and Joe Cole switched positions, forming a huge offensive threat on the left side, forcing Ronaldo to come back to participate in the defense, using such a way to limit Ronaldo's destructive power.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Jamie Vardy broke down the flank, Joe Cole led a defender, Vardy cut directly laterally, faked a real pass, and sent the ball to the feet of Lampard, who was unguarded in the middle.

However, Lampard may have thought too much when he shot at goal, resulting in his footwork not being used well and the ball flying high over the crossbar.

Feeling so sorry for Vardy, Lampard gave Vardy a thumbs-up from afar and smiled apologetically.

Vardy didn't think anything of it, after all, England superstars habitually dropped their chains in competitions, which is not outrageous!

However, Vardy's destructive power on the flanks made Portugal very uncomfortable, and this time he didn't score, so what about next time?

There is no way, Scolari has Cristiano Ronaldo also involved in the defense, and he can't just rush on the wing, unless he is determined to score goals with England.

Scolari doesn't think it's enough to really have to die and fight England is definitely not a good idea.

With three bloodbaths in a row, they faced the bloodiest England in history, and their madness was not comparable to Portugal.

Pauletta, the main striker in the Portuguese team, is like a fish in water in Ligue 1, but in the Portuguese national team, there are few goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet transformed into a super goalscorer, and Figo is a bit old-fashioned, which means that the finishing ability of the Portuguese national team is actually not as good as England

So in this case, it would be unwise to fight England to score goals.

Although Ronaldo was very unhappy with Scolari's instructions, he couldn't fight, and depression was written on his whole face.

When passing by Vardy, Ronaldo complained unhappily: "You can't go to the middle? ”

"If I go to the middle, can you come back to defend?" Vardy smiled and asked nonchalantly.

Cristiano Ronaldo lost his temper all of a sudden, and it was obvious that Vardy did it on purpose, just so that he had no way to attack with his hands and feet.

Gradually, England began to suppress Portugal, and the attack was more fluent.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Gerrard suddenly dribbled forward from the middle line and went all the way to the front of the goal, with a trademark burst, but unfortunately the ball was defused by the brave Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo;

In the 21st minute of the first half, Frank Lampard was not willing to be lonely and came with a powerful shot, the ball hit the Portuguese defender and refracted and flew off the bottom line by grazing the post;

In the 24th minute, Ashley Cole crossed, Rooney jumped to the top of the back, so close, the ball actually hit the neutral post directly

In a short period of time, England's ferocious attack overwhelmed Portugal and almost lost the gate.

But England's top attack is thunder and rain, and it looks threatening, but if it doesn't score, it's all in vain.

Vardy was also a little anxious, just now he tried to cut inside and hit a kick, but it was more outrageous, and the shot was not good today.

Receiving the ball on the left side again, Vardy just wanted to have a one-two with Joe Cole, but was directly brought down by Portuguese defender Valente.

Patting his ass and standing up, several Portuguese players were strategically putting pressure on the referee, and Vardy didn't bother to pay attention to it, just standing there and watching them perform.

Bored to the extreme, seeing a few bottles of mineral water outside the sideline, the bored Vardy directly picked up a bottle with half water, turned the bottle up with his feet like a ball, and improvised to play.

I've seen a juggling expert who doesn't land the ball for several hours, and even seen a juggling tennis ball that is very slippery, and there are all kinds of masters in the world.

But I've never seen a mineral water bottle like Vardy, and this thing is not round, so it's so easy to flip?

So the fans' eyes were immediately drawn to Vardy, and they didn't even care about what was going on the pitch.

But a second later, the whole stadium burst into laughter, and the fans in front of the TV squirted countless beers in their mouths, and I don't know how many TVs and computers were burned in one fell swoop.

Time stood still for a moment, and Vardy scratched his head, his expression extremely embarrassed.

Pretend to fail!

He didn't expect that the bottle with half a bottle of water was so difficult to bump, and before he could stretch out his other foot, the water bottle had already followed gravity, and he didn't even have a chance to touch it a second time.

Accidentally!

It was an accident!

This is definitely not my real strength!

In order to prove this, Vardy quickly picked up the water bottle again, trying to save his image, and this time I don't think it will be seventy or eighty times.

All eyes were on Vardy, who was waiting for him to continue to make a fool of himself and then laugh at him with impunity.

Those glances made Vardy feel as if he was in the middle of a sea and was roasted.

Grit your teeth and go!

One time!

Twice!

Three clicks!

Vardy pushed very hard and played the level very high, he had experience just now, and it was impossible to go too low.

Hey, how's it going this time?

Let's get tired!

But before he could be happy, he heard a pop, and the cap of the water bottle was turned upside down by him, and who was inside was like a goddess scattering flowers, and Sade was everywhere.

Vardy was stunned on the spot, just turning a water bottle upside down, and actually making himself like a chicken in soup, which is too unlucky!

The fans really couldn't stand it this time, and they were almost out of breath laughing one by one, although they knew that Vardy was going to make a fool of themselves, but the way of making a fool of themselves was still beyond everyone's expectations.

Please let us take a breath!

Lung capacity is not enough!
