Chapter 1155 - Double and Double Out
In the final round of Group G of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, although the Chinese team had an absolute advantage, the score was not opened, and it is easy to see that head coach Klinsmann has done a lot of preparation before the game.
There was a lot of targeted deployment for the Chinese team's attack, and Klinsmann realized that the Chinese team would rotate personnel when they won two consecutive group games, so even if it looked a little chaotic in defense, he always kept the goal to keep his goal.
In addition, Howard, the goalkeeper of the United States team, was extremely good in the first 20 minutes of the first half, making a series of key saves and even a reflex save that the commentators on the field called a god save.
There was even a time when Iello and his teammates made a wonderful kick into the penalty area in succession, and came to a surprise scramble at the penalty spot, but what he didn't expect was that Howard actually blocked the ball with his toes.
Iroh, who didn't score, was full of incredulity, knowing that he was ready to celebrate the moment he finished shooting......
In the other game played at the same time, Portugal and Ghana also had no change in score, Portugal only won to get the chance to advance, because their goal difference is less than that of the United States, only a win against Ghana, and on the premise of a big win can they get the chance to qualify.
Although Portugal's opponents Ghana have already exited the tournament, they cannot afford to lose in the final round of the group stage, as they must win in the final round to save face if they lose their qualification to the knockout round.
They reached the quarter-finals at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and if it weren't for luck, they would have reached the semi-finals in a record time.
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is very hard-working, he is the hardest working in the whole frontcourt, he is constantly demanding in the frontcourt, but because the goal is too big, he has also become the Portuguese player that the Ghana defenders take care of.
The so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Cristiano Ronaldo's status in world football is second only to Aillo, and Messi enjoys the second place in the world, so many Ghanaian players are quite unhappy, and the Chinese team that lost to Aillo in the second round is even counted, and now the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo, the second in the world, also wants to score points?
There are no doors!
As the game ticked by, Cristiano Ronaldo gradually showed his impatience, which quickly spread to his team-mates, with manager Paulo Bento standing on the sidelines seeing it best.
But before he could give a warning, Ghana suddenly cut off a short pass from Nani to Moutinho at the back and launched a quick counter-attack.
The continuous and fast pass soon reached the feet of captain Ji'an, and he held back his strength when he remembered the aggrieved loss to Aillo's Chinese team in the last round.
With this momentum, Gian's ball smashed Huanglong, and in the face of Pepe's tackle at the edge of the penalty area, he calmly buckled to the left, and directly picked up his left foot and rubbed a rounded corner after shaking out of the gap, even if goalkeeper Beto made a save, there was no way to save the ball.
Ghana now leads Portugal 1-0.

If the game ends according to this result, the team that advances will inevitably be the United States.
It was in this adversity that Cristiano Ronaldo broke out!
Just three minutes after Gian's goal, Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from Moutinho on the left side of the attack and flicked the ball directly to the right, shook off a bit of space, and then chose to shoot 35 meters from the goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was so powerful that Ghanaian goalkeeper Dauda didn't even have time to make a save when he saw the ball jump into the top right corner of the goal.
Suddenly, the entire stadium was silenced for half a second by Cristiano Ronaldo's goal.
But half a second later, the whole stadium was boiling......
Portuguese fans seem to see their backing fans a chance to qualify.
Looking at Cristiano Ronaldo's excellent form, Portugal fans know that it is only a matter of time before they advance.
Indeed, despite the intensification of the defence for the rest of the first half, Ghana was unable to hinder Cristiano Ronaldo's individual performance.
In the final half minute of first-half stoppage time, Moutinho took a corner kick and Cristiano Ronaldo leaped high to beat Gian and Ayew to smash the ball into the bottom left corner of the net, but Ghana goalkeeper Dauda did not see the ball go into the net this time.
However, it was not much different, and it was a little late for him to make a reflex save......
Coincidentally, the Chinese team also scored at the other stadium where China and the United States played, and it is unknown if it was because Iello felt that Cristiano Ronaldo was doing well, and he swooped in from the edge of the box before the end of the first half.
Coincidentally, American goalkeeper Howard's vision was disrupted by the defender, and by the time he made the save, it was too late, and the football rolled into the goal almost against the inside edge of the right-hand post......
As the goal took place, the commentator in the commentary booth shouted hysterically: "Finally a goal!" Howard in the first half was really a veritable goalkeeper, his high saves and low blocks kept the goal from conceding, but ...... He's not really a goalkeeper and our captain Elo took advantage of a clever kick from the edge of the box to send the ball into the net, beautiful!! ”
Immediately afterwards, his partner Xu Yang said: "Congratulations to Iro, this is his sixth goal in this World Cup, he has once again surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, who just scored a goal, to the top of the scorer list!" ”

Although the two group stage games in Group G have a one-goal advantage for the leading side, forward-looking fans know that it is only a matter of time before China and Portugal beat their respective opponents.
In the second half, the leading Chinese team and the Portuguese team expanded the score in the second half, and the team contributed to the team by Gao Lin and Nani who came off the bench.
In the end, China defeated the United States 2-0 and Portugal defeated Ghana 3-1 to emerge from Group G.
At the end of the game, captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Portugal's Jedi counterattack to qualify, was the focus of media reporters, and it was his two goals that helped his team to overtake the score, and Nani's widening goal was also caused by his cross after the break.
There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is the savior of the Portuguese team.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's prestige in Portugal has also increased as Portugal has emerged from the group, and there is even a tendency to become the number one star in Portugal's history......
