Chapter 1146 - A Chance to Return to Color?
In the 23rd minute of the game, Almeida helped Portugal get a free kick in front, and then when Cristiano Ronaldo held the football and placed it at the place of the foul, the area of the Portuguese fans in the stands of the new water source stadium immediately boiled.
And the Portuguese national television commentator also hysterically said: "Oh oh oh! Cristiano gets a direct free-kick! It was about thirty meters from the goal, which was exactly within his range!! Without a doubt, it was a great opportunity to equalize!! ”
But Dong Lu, a commentator from LeTV, said: "Oh? Was this free-kick taken by Cristiano Ronaldo? It's okay, let him play, I can clearly remember that he has fallen into a free-kick goal drought, how many feet? ”
His partner Li Xin said: "65 feet! ”
"That's right!" Dong Lu glanced at his partner appreciatively, and then shouted: "It's sixty-five feet, if nothing else, it will be sixty-six!" ”
Andy Gray, the Sky TV commentator in the commentary seat at the scene, naturally said: "Shi's foul is really not worth it, Almeida is so far away from the goal, as long as he doesn't let him turn around, he will do his job, alas...... Still too young to know that the set-piece in this position is completely a chance for Portugal to equalize! ”
Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, placed the ball in the palm of his hand at the place of the foul, then took a few steps back until he reached the right distance to settle down, his legs naturally apart, like a compass tied to the turf.
He looked in the direction of the goal through the adjusted Chinese team's human wall, and after a few seconds, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, looking extremely confident.
As the captain of the team, Ailuo is a player of more than 1.85 meters, and he deserves to become the team's human wall with Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, and Zhang Xizhe.
So when he adjusted the wall, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo's confident expression, and he instantly felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if the score had been equalized in the following period......
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't care about the opposition players who were focusing on him, because at this point he only had the goal in mind.
The lifelong 'enemy' Iroh has already scored, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the chaser, is naturally not far behind!
When the Chinese team's human wall stood and Wang Xiaolei stood in a good position, everyone's focus was on Cristiano Ronaldo, even if he had 65 direct free kick opportunities in the past and couldn't score, as long as he stood here, he was a threat!
From Wang Xiaolei's nervous arrangement of the human wall, you can see how jealous he is of Cristiano Ronaldo.

"-Beep!!"
As the referee's whistle blew, the Chinese fans erupted in loud boos, hoping to put pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo with their own boos, which led to a mistake in his shot.
However, what they didn't know was that Cristiano Ronaldo only had football and goal in his eyes at this time, and other things were not in his observation at all, so the boos from the Chinese fans did not play a role.
Cristiano Ronaldo ran naturally, and the last step was a little bigger, pulling his bow and arrows.
Wang Xiaolei wanted to see Cristiano Ronaldo through the gap in the human wall, but unfortunately the afternoon sun flashed, and his eyes were subconsciously closed.
Immediately afterwards, the football and the force foot came into contact with a muffled sound, and the football flew into the air.
The huge human wall led by Iroh jumped up, but the height of the football was enough, even if Iroh jumped very high, there was still no way to rub the ball.
The distance was only so far that the ball flew high enough that the Portuguese fans standing in the stands thought the ball was going to be high above the crossbar, and their heads subconsciously tilted back, but halfway up, a clear exclamation erupted from the sky above the new water source stadium, so their movements were as if pressing the pause button, and they froze in place.
The football did not continue to fly after flying over the Chinese team's human wall, but flew forward smoothly, and then fell down as if it had become a bomber performing at high altitude.
By the time Wang Xiaolei made the sideways flutter action, it was obviously too late.
Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free kick was not only fast, but also at a very tricky angle, almost grazing the inside edge of the left post of the goal, coupled with the interference of the sun on Wang Xiaolei......

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, was so excited that he spread his arms and rushed to the right corner flag, then faced his own fan area, holding the top edge of the corner club with his left hand and pointing to the ground with his right index finger.
Although the Portuguese fans in the stands could not hear what Cristiano Ronaldo was saying, they could feel what Cristiano Ronaldo was trying to say, so they danced in response to the hero in front of them.
"You'll never be the best, I love you!"
"Wow, you're the best footballer in the world! You are a hero!! ”
"What kind of football will the Chinese play? They will only play with small balls!! ”
……
At the same time, most of the commentators in the commentary booth gave Cristiano Ronaldo full praise, even many Chinese commentators, because regardless of the position, Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free kick was indeed very exciting.
Portuguese coach Paulo Bento and Chinese coach Pep Guardiola on the sidelines had very different expressions, the former raising his arms excitedly and shouting, and the latter sternly clasping his hands to his mouth and shouting at the players on the pitch to give the latest instructions.
The previous score of 1-0 gave Guardiola a lot of confidence to win the game, but with Cristiano Ronaldo's form, he was very uneasy.
But Pep Guardiola's worries didn't last long, and a minute later, 25 minutes into the game, the Chinese team took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to quickly pass the ball to the front court through a quick pass, and Ailo broke through with the ball on the left rib and distributed the ball to Zhang Xizhe in the middle.
Immediately, Zhang Xizhe stopped the ball and adjusted slightly, pretending to shoot to deceive Merreles' fall to the ground, Moutinho pulled down Zhang Xizhe at the top of the gourd when he didn't have time to make up the defense, and the referee Majic blew the whistle decisively, and the Chinese team won a direct free kick about 26 meters in front of the goal.
For direct free-kicks from good angles, Iroh is the team's first choice.
As Iroh walked to the foul spot, the live commentary bench became lively.
In the words of BBC commentator Lineker: "Will this be an opportunity for Ai to return the colours?" ”
