96. Sleepless in Portugal tonight
At halftime, the players of the Spanish national team watched the slow-motion replay, and it was indeed Puyol who fouled the ball, and all the players of the Spanish national team here shook their heads and sighed, which is really not the referee's problem.
The players of the Spanish national team seemed to be in a low mood, Bosque frowned slightly, and he immediately cheered for the players of the Spanish national team, now they are only one goal behind, there is still time, and they must not be discouraged and give up.
Bosque emphasised his team's attacking play at half-time, now that they are behind, they must attack in the second half and score as soon as possible.
After being inspired by Bosque at halftime, the players of the Spanish national team regained their vitality, as if they had been beaten with blood.
On the other hand, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo Bento, wants the players of the Portuguese national team to be more stable, after all, they are now ahead and do not need to take risks. It's good to play the second half well.
At halftime, Paulo Bento also specifically instructed Qiu Ze to control the pace of the game and control the overall situation.
In this way, the pressure is almost on Qiu Ze, but Paulo Bento is not afraid that Qiu Ze will be crushed by the pressure. Paulo Bento has a lot of confidence in Qiu Ze, he believes that Qiu Ze can withstand the pressure, he believes in Qiu Ze.
And Qiu Ze is really trustworthy, this guy has reflected this very well in his career, whether it is in Bellamar, Benfica, or Liverpool, Qiu Ze has performed very perfectly.
As soon as the western half began, the Spanish national team launched a ferocious attack, and they hoped to use the attack to win the game.
After midfielder Xavi broke through two in a row and played a one-two with Andres Iniesta, he suddenly stuffed the ball straight into the Portuguese national team's penalty area, and the ball was passed very well, and Fernando Torres went straight to Eduardo in front of him.
When all the Spanish national team fans in the audience thought that the goal was going to be scored, Eduardo once again performed a magical performance, he flew sideways and knocked the football to the bottom line, and he saved the team once again.
Corner kick! Corner kick of the Spanish national team.
The threat of the Portuguese national team did not end, Eduardo immediately bounced off the ground and shouted frantically at his defenders: "Defend, defend, defend!!" ”
Hearing Eduardo's shout, the defenders of the Portuguese national team woke up from their stunned stupor, and immediately went to their own people, defended seriously, and did not give the other party any chance.
"Wow! Eduardo's performance today was really perfect, he saved many times to keep the Portuguese national team's goal intact! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, admired.
The attacking players of the Spanish national team frantically poured into the penalty area of the Portuguese national team and were eager to try in the penalty area, which made the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, Eduardo, very nervous, and carefully told his defenders to defend carefully and not to let their guard down.
At the beginning of the second half, the players of the Spanish national team were very excited, as if they had taken doping, and now the situation is very dangerous.
The Portuguese national team players defended carefully, and at this moment, Xavi in the corner kick area ran at high speed, came to the ball and stabbed his left foot hard, and then pumped his right foot hard into the ball.
With a bang, the football flew out at a rapid pace, flew into the penalty area of the Portuguese national team, and came directly to the back post. At the back post, Fernando Torres jumped high and came up with a header. However, the football hit the body of Carvalho, who was also jumping high, and flew off the bottom line again.
"Corner! The Spanish national team continues to serve corners! Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
In the stadium, the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, Eduardo, once again reminded the players of the Portuguese national team to pay attention to defense and not to give the players of the Spanish national team a chance.
The players of the Portuguese national team are waiting in the penalty area, waiting to defend the high ball!
However, Xavi in the corner kick area did not drive the football into the penalty area this time, but gave the football to Iniesta, who pounced!
"Oops! Not good! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, immediately exclaimed, "Tactical corner!" It's a tactical corner! Cunning Spaniards! ”
Yes, it was a tactical corner and Xavi gave the football to Iniesta on the wing!
The Portugal defender was shaken off and near the edge of the box the defender made a quick save to keep out Andres Iniesta. The defense of the Portuguese national team players in the penalty area was also a little scattered, and the defenders immediately re-found their defenders and continued to defend.
After receiving the ball, Iniesta did not give Ricardo Costa a chance to make a save, and he immediately got up and passed the ball into the box of the Portuguese national team, which was a high ball.
The ball flew over the head of Ricardo Costa, who had already jumped up, he wanted to push the ball out, but he didn't reach it, the ball flew over his head and into the box.
The dangling point just now disrupted the defense of the Portuguese national team in the penalty area, and this time Iniesta's pass immediately flew towards Fernando Torres, who was a meter behind Alves, and the fans and players of the Portuguese national team were shocked and screamed.
Alves in front of Fernando Torres jumped high and wanted to compete for football. But the soccer ball brushed his hair and flew backwards. Where Fernando Torres suddenly jumped up like a green onion, shook his head at the football and smashed it into it.
With a thud, Fernando Torres' head slammed into the ball, which flew towards the Portuguese national team's goal.
"Header on goal!!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, roared with extreme excitement, his eyes glued to the flying football.
Yes! All the fans of the Portuguese national team at the scene screamed in horror at this moment, and their hearts fell to the bottom.
In front of the goal, Eduardo frantically bounced to the ground and pounced on the football, but he still did not pounce on the football, and all the fans of the Portuguese national team felt that the end of the world had come.
Clang! There was a steel sound, and the ball hit the crossbar of the goal hard, and then popped off the bottom line!
"Doorposts! It was the goalpost that saved the Portuguese national team! Oh my god, the luck of the Portuguese is really good, the goalpost! Magical goalposts! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, exclaimed.
The fans of the Portuguese national team immediately erupted in relief, this ball is really too dangerous, just a little bit, almost they are finished.
"Oops!!" The fans of the Spanish national team collectively sighed with regret, this is another good opportunity, it is a rare opportunity to fight for a header in the penalty area of the Portuguese national team, but it is a pity that God is not on their side.
Fernando Torres, who had the ball on the crossbar, was also disappointed, covering his face with his hands and letting out a heavy sigh, clearly wanting to score, especially in the European Championship final.
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Spanish national team, Bosque, was very dissatisfied with the team's performance this time, especially with the performance of Fernando Torres.
Fernando Torres had a couple of good chances in this game, but unfortunately he didn't take a single one, and more often than not, Fernando Torres didn't help the team much, and his form affected his performance.
At this point, Bosque reacted immediately by replacing Fernando Torres with Cesc Fabregas, a midfielder who replaced the striker, leaving the Spanish national team without a striker for the next half hour.
Yes, the Spanish national team is about to start their strikerless tactics again. The Spanish national team has used the tactic of no striker in this World Cup, and it has performed very well. Obviously, at this time, the Spaniards are going to fight.
Goalball, the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, Eduardo, gave the goalball out, and now they are not in a hurry to attack. Qiu Ze firmly controlled the football at his feet, and passed the ball to his teammates, as if they were the Spanish national team in the happy first half of the game.
Suddenly, Qiu Ze in the midfield found an opportunity and sent a long diagonal pass directly in the center circle, and the football flew quickly to the ribs on the left side of the penalty area of the Spanish national team. Where Cristiano Ronaldo scurried into the box, caught the football, and went straight to the goalkeeper of the Spanish national team, Casillas.
All the fans of the Portuguese national team were excited and cheered excitedly.
Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo was forced by Casillas to miss the ball, and the ball rolled off the line, and the Portuguese national team missed a great opportunity to extend the score.
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo Bento, was full of regrets, if this goal was scored, the Portuguese national team would have basically sealed the victory of the game.
The head coach of the Spanish national team, Bosque, was furious, very dissatisfied with the team's performance, especially when defending, he was angry on the sidelines.
The Spanish national team relaunched the attack, Xavi's pass was intercepted by Pepe, Qiu Ze made another long pass, Hugo Almeida jumped high in front of the ball to cross the ball, Nani cut forward and volleyed directly, and the ball went over the crossbar.
Two minutes later, the Spanish national team created a very good chance. Xavi was a one-two in a row with Cesc Fabregas at the edge of the penalty area before he suddenly picked up the ball and Pedro's header from the edge of the box flew straight towards the Portuguese national team.
Unfortunately, Pedro was a little shorter and did not have the strength to top up, and the football was confiscated by Eduardo. If it had been Fernando Torres, there would have been a chance that Eduardo would not have been able to save the ball.
At this time, the fans of the Spanish national team began to miss Fernando Torres, and if Fernando Torres was there, the situation would not have been the same.
On the sidelines, Bosque was also a pity, he couldn't help but look up at the time, there are still twenty minutes before the game, time is running out.
Five minutes later, the Spanish national team made a comeback, and after Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas on the flank, Iniesta immediately shifted the ball to the other side, and Pedro received the ball and brought it into the Portuguese national team's penalty area.
Portugal centre-back Alves fell to the ground and tackled the ball to the bottom line, but Pedro fell in an exaggerated way into the box.
"Penalty! Penalty kick! It's definitely a penalty! Red! Red! Punish that damn guy! "The fans of the Spanish national team came to the spirit, and they roared with great excitement, very excited.
"Fake fall! Pedro and Professor Bu are out of the same school, and their fake falls are enough to mess with the real thing! Fake fall! Red! Let's expel all these divers! The fans of the Portuguese national team roared en masse and put pressure on the referee.
"Penalty! It's a penalty! 'Bosque came up and bounced on the sidelines, putting pressure on the referee.
"Fake fall! Red! Get him out! Not to be outdone, Paulo Bento is not to be outdone.
Honk! Referee Howard Webb blew his whistle and went to the scene of the incident, showing a yellow card to Pedro before pointing to the corner.
"Wow! Howard Webb's decision is a bit unclear! If Pedro is sentenced to fake this ball, the ball should be given to the Portuguese national team. But if the ball is to be given to the Spanish national team, this yellow card will be inexplicable, is he looking for a balance? Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, wondered.
The players and fans of the Spanish national team were naturally very dissatisfied, the players of the Spanish national team besieged the referee, and the fans of the Spanish national team booed to express their dissatisfaction.
But Howard Webb was very resolute, and the Spaniards couldn't help it, corner kick!
The Spaniard team won a corner and Cesc Fabregas drove the ball straight to the edge of the penalty area, where Xavi fired a shot wide of the goal.
"Wow! The ball went wide of the goal and the Spanish national team missed a good chance. In this case, Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, said another famous sentence, "There is not much time left for the Spanish national team!" ”
Yes, time is running out, it's really running out for the Spanish national team. Add in stoppage time, and that's fifteen minutes.
It's not a big difference, but it's very difficult to get it back right away. At this time, Bosque began to get anxious!
At this time, the Spanish national team had pressed on all fronts and began to besiege the Portuguese national team.
The Spanish national team has launched a total of totals, and the Portuguese national team has begun to shrink their defense, and of course they have not given up the opportunity to counterattack.
At this point, Paulo Bento made a substitution, replacing Hugo Almeida with Veloso and a defensive midfielder for the striker, and Paulo Bento's intention was very obvious.
At this time, the formation of the Portuguese national team also changed, becoming 4312, and even this formation became 4321, leaving a Cristiano Ronaldo who was ready to counterattack in front, and everyone else began to defend.
Seeing the changes in the Portuguese national team, Bosque's brows were tightly knit and very nervous.
Time has been passing, the fans of the Spanish national team on the scene are very anxious, frowning, anxiously waiting, at this time, they can't wait to rush into the field, and play with this group of guys in the Portuguese national team.
And the fans of the Portuguese national team are also anxious, they can't wait for the game to be over, they can't wait to lift the Hercules Cup.
The players of the Spanish national team gritted their teeth and struggled, they did not give up, they were attacking like crazy.
Pedro took the ball on the wing, and the defenders of the Portuguese national team immediately pounced, and now there are a lot of defenders of the Portuguese national team in the backfield, giving the Spanish national team very little space.
At this time, Pedro then passed the football to Xavi in the middle, Xavi immediately moved forward with the ball, under the pressure of Pepe, he passed the football to Fabregas, Fabregas directly in the front of the penalty area with his feet volleyed, the football hit Alves's leg, although there was a change of direction, but also unloaded, the football slowly rolled towards the goal, Eduardo easily held the football in his arms.
'The Spanish national team wasted another chance, they were running out of time and there were eight minutes left in the game. Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, was also nervous for the Spanish national team.
The players of the Spanish national team were very anxious, and they attacked like crazy. But by this time, their mentality was out of balance, they seemed to have forgotten their tactics, and they were pushing the ball into crosses from the wings, and the crosses were 45 degrees oblique, and their players were short, and there was simply no hope for such crosses.
Watching the players of the Spanish national team play more and more disorganized, Bosque frowned on the sidelines and reminded his players loudly on the sidelines. But on the field, the players of the Spanish national team did not hear it and still went their own way.
Time is getting less and less, but the Spanish national team is still wasting opportunities and wasting time, which makes Bosque already angry.
The Spanish national team is playing like this, and the Portuguese national team is the happiest to see it, because it is even less dangerous for them. Even they have been hoping that the Spanish national team will continue to play like this.
The morale of the Portuguese national team has risen, yes, the attack of the Spanish national team has not threatened them at all, the pressure on them has gone down, and this morale has naturally risen. Gradually, the Portuguese national team even has a tendency to press outward.
Bosque's brow furrowed, the problem he was facing now was much more difficult than he had expected before the game. However, the Spaniards have no and no way, the only way to attack is to attack, and they must get the score back in the last time!
Bosque immediately walked to the sidelines and frantically shouted into the stadium: "Attack, press Lao Tzu, and strive to score in the last time!" ”
"There's still time! Don't be in a hurry to hang in the forbidden area, walk more on the ground! Bosque even reminded the Spanish national team players.
Time is running out for the game, and the players of the Spanish national team also know that their chances are running out now, they must cherish every minute and every second and get the score back as soon as possible, otherwise, they are really finished!
That's why the players of the Spanish national team play so simply, just hanging the football into the penalty area. At this point, they miss Fernando Torres very much, and it would have been better if this guy had been around.
Seeing that the players of the Spanish national team still did not hear his shouts, Bosque had no choice, so he then let Pique and Puyol rush into the Portuguese national team's penalty area, let the two high points fight for the ball in the penalty area, and treat the two central defenders as central strikers.
With Pique and Puyol, Spain's tactics suddenly showed their strength. The Portuguese national team is also gradually feeling the pressure, and the players of the Portuguese national team are beginning to recycle the penalty area and defend desperately.
All of a sudden, the game came to a stalemate, but the game was almost over, and it was very unfavorable to the Spanish national team to be deadlocked at this time.
By this time, referee Howard Webb was already looking at his watch, and the game was already in the final moments.
The countdown has already begun on the fans of the Portuguese national team in the stands and they can't wait for the end of the match.
At this time, Qiu Ze didn't think about any counterattack, he returned directly to the penalty area, playing as a central defender, he was tall, strong, and his arrival reduced the pressure on the defenders of the Portuguese national team.
At this time, Andres Iniesta, who was on the wing, suddenly crossed the ball, and the ball flew directly to the back post. The thicker Epic jumped high and came to the top of a Tarzan.
"Pique! Spain's last chance, is this going to be a lore? Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, roared excitedly.
Clang! The ball hit the crossbar of the Portuguese national team's goal hard, bounced off and bounced straight into Puyol in the box!
"The ball hits the crossbar, oops, no, and, Puyol!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, roared.
Boom! Qiu Ze in the penalty area saw the football bounce towards Puyol, he immediately came to a bounce leg, pumped the football fiercely, and with a bang, Qiu Ze kicked the football out before Puyol, and Puyol's leg kicked on Qiu Ze's foot.
The ball flew off the touchline at a rapid pace, and Qiu Ze saved the Portuguese national team in the most dangerous moment.
Honk! Honk! Honk!!!!
At this time, the referee of the game, Howard Webb, blew the whistle for the end of the game!
It's over!
It's over!
"Champion! Portugal! And they won the championship! They are world champions! They won the first World Cup in their history! They make history! They are the eighth team in the world to win the World Cup! Congratulations to the Portuguese national team!! They are champions! They are world champions! World Champion! Commentators from all over the country, from all over the country, from all over the country to the TV station shouted in unison.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the Football City Stadium was so hot that the fans were boiling.
And just as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the fans in the football city quickly shouted. There was jubilation in Portugal, and they all poured into the streets to celebrate collectively. They lit brilliant fireworks, red, purple, blue, dazzling, like the brilliant brilliance of the Hercules Cup. The streets of Portugal are completely paralyzed, and the streets of the whole city are filled with the whistle of cars and the cheers of fans.
In the football stadium of the football city of football, in the box of the families of the Portuguese national team players, the wives and children of the Portuguese national team players screamed excitedly and hugged each other, and they all looked at their husbands on the field with tears in their eyes.
"It's over! The World Cup in South Africa is over! The winner is the Portuguese national team! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, announced very excitedly.
All the Portuguese national team players in the stadium began to cheer wildly in celebration, running around the stadium, hugging each other, waving their fists excitedly and crying emotionally.
The players on the bench rushed into the pitch and raced around the pitch, shouting that we are champions, we are World Cup winners!
The head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo Bento, pressed the excitement in his chest, and immediately turned around and walked to the coach's seat of the Spanish national team, where Bosque looked bitterly at the Spanish national team players sitting on the pitch.
At the end of the whistle, all the players of the Spanish national team sat down on the turf, staring into the distance with empty eyes, and some of them buried their faces directly in the turf, their shoulders constantly shaking.
Puyol, on the other hand, was tearful and very unwilling to stare at the players of the Portuguese national team who were celebrating.
When Paolo Bento came to Bosque's side, Bosque immediately turned to Paul Bento and stretched out his hand, took his right hand and said, "Congratulations, World Champion Coach!" ”
Paulo Bento said seriously: "Thank you, you did a good job today. ”
With that, the two parted, and Paulo Bento was picked up by the players who came to the sidelines at an unknown time, and then tossed into the air again and again.
★★★
"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, this is CCTV Sports Channel, I'm Duan Xuan. Now the exciting time is coming, with the 2010 World Cup South Africa Awards Ceremony just around the corner. The winner of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is the Portuguese national team, who became the eighth team in the world to win the World Cup. Duan Xuan excitedly stared at the players of the Portuguese national team in the stadium.
Before that, the World Cup runners-up were awarded, and the players of the Spanish national team walked onto the podium in a low mood, absentmindedly receiving their medals one by one, and then left in a depressed mood.
Then came the World Cup winners' award ceremony, and the players of the Portuguese national team began to walk on the podium under the reminder of the host on the spot.
The first to walk up was Cristiano Ronaldo, who was at the front. FIFA President Sepp Blatter hung the gold medal around Cristiano Ronaldo's neck, then Veloso, Merelles......
Qiu Ze was the penultimate to go up, and behind him was the team's captain, Carvalho.
When Qiu Ze walked up, FIFA President Blatter shook Qiu Ze's hand cordially and said: "You are really amazing, I think you are now the most popular player on the planet." Come on, boy, I'm optimistic about you! ”
Saying that, Blatter brought Qiu Ze a gold medal representing the champion.
Qiu Ze took the gold medal, kissed it vigorously, then showed a rather charming smile, and then said thank you to FIFA President Blatter! Then, after a veneer salute with Blatter, he quickly stepped aside.
The last one to come up was the captain of the Portuguese national team, Carvalho, who was very excited, this was the moment he had dreamed of in his life, and he was very excited.
Carvalho quickly approached Blatter, and he shook hands passionately, and Carvalho took the Hercules Cup from Blatter.
And at that moment, the podium erupted with streamers and confetti, and at the same time fireworks erupted around the podium to represent victory, Carvalho eagerly lifted the trophy above his head, and his teammates jumped on the podium for the first time, chanting that we are champions, we are champions.
As the players shouted and sang, the fans in the stands also sang along with the melody of the players, they sang loudly, they shouted, roared and catharsis. At the same time, under the podium, the camera shutters in the hands of reporters flashed non-stop. And the Spanish team that left silently next to it looked so lonely and desolate.
After Carvalho lifted the Hercules Cup three times above his head, he handed it to Qiu Ze next to him.
Qiu Ze was very excited when he lifted the coveted Hercules Cup, the dream of two lifetimes finally came true at this moment, Qiu Ze couldn't help but burst into tears!
Qiu Ze excitedly lifted the Hercules Cup above his head, and roared loudly in his mouth: "We are champions!" We are the champions! ”
Then the Hercules Cup was passed in the hands of the Portuguese national team players, and then they circled the stadium with the Hercules Cup held high and celebrated with the Portuguese national team fans on the spot!
Sleepless tonight in Johannesburg! No sleep in Portugal tonight!
