241. Unexpected opponents
In the first half of the first half of the game, half of the hosts Egypt were dominant. The Portuguese national team doesn't have the demeanor of the European champions at all, they are really stunned by this vuvuzuna, and they are not in form at all.
Fortunately, with Qiu Ze's reliable feet, in the nineteenth minute of the first half, the Portuguese national team finally had the first shot of the game.
Qiu Ze saw that the players of the Portuguese national team were not in shape, so he did it alone. Now in the midfield, an acceleration changed past the Egyptian team's Shuki, and then another ball was passed past Egypt's Raab.
Qiu Ze rushed to the Egyptian team's penalty area at high speed with the football, and the central defenders of the Egyptian team did not dare to press out when they saw Qiu Ze menacing, so they gave Qiu Ze a lot of space. Of course, Qiu Ze was unceremonious, and shot directly at the front of the big penalty area, and a knock on the mountain and the tiger came.
The ball shot out like a meteor, flying directly past the Egyptian centre-back and hurtling towards the goal behind him.
In the face of such a shot, the goalkeeper of the Egyptian team, Hadari, desperately flew out and made a sideways save, but he did not touch the football, and the football flew into the goal of the Egyptian team with speed.
1 to 0! The Portuguese national team unexpectedly took the lead with Qiu Ze's wonderful personal performance, which made the scene quiet for an instant, as if everyone was stunned, and those who played Woo Vu Zuna seemed to have forgotten to blow at that moment.
However, after a few seconds, the sound of Woo Vu Zuna was earth-shattering. Everyone reacted and began to cheer wildly. Queiroz, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, also jumped up at once, waving his fists excitedly.
He's depressed, and the Portuguese national team is really shit. He never imagined that the Portuguese national team would play like this, and he was beaten like this by the Egyptian team, and he almost went crazy at the time.
Now that the Portuguese national team has finally taken the lead, the game should be back on track. Queiroz is confident for the rest of the game.
But after the game restarted, the game was still the same, and even the Egyptian team's attack became sharper. Maybe it stung the Egyptians after conceding the goal, the Egyptians attacked frantically, not to mention, their attacking threat is still very big.
Zidan has naturally become the most active guy on the field, this guy is very dangerous in attack, causing a lot of trouble to the Portuguese national team, and even making the Portuguese national team's defense scrambling.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Zidan's hard work finally paid off, as he missed a corner kick at the back post. Unguarded, he fired a volley into the door of the Portuguese national team.
The scene suddenly erupted in a burst of sighs, and the fans of the Portuguese national team shook their heads. In this game, the Portuguese national team played really badly, how can it play like this? The Egyptian team is not very strong.
After being equalised, the players of the Portuguese national team behaved a little more normally. It seems that they have gradually become accustomed to the sound of this vu vu zuna, so his performance is getting better and better.
Qiu Ze attacked in the midfield with a clear combing, and the Portuguese national team's attack became more and more fluid, gradually recovering the style of the European champion. Now the Egyptian team is not as easy as before, and it is impossible to do whatever it wants as before.
Zidan in front of him naturally got a lot fewer chances, and now the scales are beginning to tilt towards the side of the Portuguese national team.
Under the leadership of Qiu Ze, the Portuguese national team is playing better and better. At this time, after Qiu Ze and Deco were in a row in the middle, he suddenly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area of the Egyptian team with a half-high ball. There, Nani of the Portuguese national team rushed in like a black lightning bolt, caught the football, went to the middle, and then directly volleyed.
The ball was fired like a cannonball into the Egyptian goal. The ball was really fast, like lightning, the goalkeeper of the South African team Hadari was unable to react, and the football flew past Hadari's side at a rapid speed and flew into the goal at a rapid speed.
The Portuguese national team finally took the lead again before the end of the first half, and the fans of the Portuguese national team immediately cheered.
Less than two minutes after the goal was scored, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The Portuguese national team led the Egyptian team 2-1 with Qiu Ze's pass and shot.
At the beginning of the second half, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, immediately made a substitution, and it was a large-scale substitution, Qiu Ze, Nani and other six people were replaced. It's clear that Queiroz is training the team and getting more people the chance to play.
This may be Queiroz's consideration for the Confederations Cup later, after all, he can send his assistant to get information about the New Zealand team, and people can come to the scene to get information about their Portuguese national team. So, at this time, he stopped and didn't let the enemy touch him too clearly.
The Egyptian team has no such intentions, they still play the original team, and it can be seen that they really want to win this game and win this game.
At the beginning of the second half, there was a period of confusion after a large number of substitutions for the Portuguese national team, which gave the Egyptian team a lot of opportunities, but Zidan did not grasp it and wasted a great opportunity.
After squandering this golden opportunity, Egypt coach Shehaq replaced Zidan with Mido. Shehaq is still hoping to make substitutions to get more chances, score more goals and win this game.
However, after a brief period of confusion after the substitutions, the Portuguese national team gradually found their form. Although, their group of people did not play as smoothly on the field as Qiu Ze when they were on the court. But they played smoothly and gradually they were in control.
The Portuguese national team is not in a hurry to attack, they are mainly in control, they will only move forward after he has absolute chances, and in general, they are still mainly in control. This is the tactic and even the task that Queiroz has assigned to them.
So far, the players of the Portuguese national team have been doing very well. Gradually, the game was stabilized, but they didn't get many chances.
Egypt, on the other hand, tried their best to find chances, but they didn't get them very often. Especially after Zidan's down, Egypt's forward line does not seem to be threatening. The Portuguese national team played more smoothly.
In the 27th minute of the second half, the Portuguese national team got a corner kick opportunity, the Portuguese national team's Joao 61 Moutinho kicked the football out, the Portuguese national team's substitute center forward Hugo 61 Almeida in the penalty area pressed the Egyptian team's central defender into the Egyptian team's goal, and the Portuguese national team led 3-1.
By the time we got here, the Portuguese national team had basically won the game. But Egypt didn't give up and continued to attack frantically in the hope of seizing their chances to equalise.
However, there is still a big gap in the strength of the two sides, although Mido, who came up later, also got a few chances, but he was unable to convert the chances into goals, and finally the Portuguese national team defeated Egypt 3-1.
This game was a reminder to Queiroz that there are still a lot of problems in their team. Especially the unfamiliarity with the environment, which is very much in the eyes, just that damn Woo Vuzu almost made the Portuguese national team not play at half time.
This does have a big impact on the Portuguese national team, of course, there are still some problems within the team. The current Portuguese national team is not perfect, and there are still many problems that Queiroz needs to solve.
But fortunately, at the beginning of the official game, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo was released, and he was able to return to the team and participate in the upcoming games.
Qiu Ze played very well in this game, and in the case of a poor press conference for all the players, it was he who stood up and supported the Portuguese national team. And when the players of the Portuguese national team are wielding normally, Qiu Ze's offensive organization in the midfield has revitalized the entire Portuguese national team, which is a very haode phenomenon.
Queiroz has to sigh that Qiu Ze is really worthy of being one of the best midfield organizers in Shijie football today. At the beginning, in fact, he discovered Qiu Ze earlier, and he also recommended Qiu Ze to Manchester United at that time, but unfortunately Manchester United was slow at that time, which made the Liverpool team take advantage.
Queiroz sometimes thinks that if Manchester United brought Qiu Ze to Manchester United long before Qiu Ze joined Benfica, then Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo must not have such a deep grudge before, and even the relationship between these two guys will definitely be very good.
Queiroz really regretted that he couldn't hold on to it in the first place. If that were the case, it would be much easier for him to lead the Portuguese national team now.
It is clear that there is no regret medicine on Shijie, and Queiroz can only face reality. He brought the players of the Portuguese national team back to the hotel, and he told the players of the Portuguese national team to rest early, and there was still training the next day.
At this time, Queiroz handed his assistant to his room to find out about their first opponent, New Zealand.
From previous rumours, Queiroz knew that New Zealand should not be very strong, and they could easily overcome their opponents. However, the news brought back by his assistant was not like this. His assistant went live to watch the performance between New Zealand and Italy, and the result was not as expected before the game, with New Zealand and Italy slaughtering.
Queiroz's aide said that the New Zealand team played very well and that they were not as bad as everyone said, but they were still very competitive and good. Especially when it comes to high balls, their ability is really good.
And the process of the match between New Zealand and the Italian national team also played his expectations, less than five minutes into the game, the New Zealand team was scored by their striker Smeltz to break through the Italian goal, this is a corner kick opportunity, the tall Smeltz jumped high and smashed the football directly into the Italian goal.
After that, the New Zealand team was more confident as they got bigger, leading the Italian team 3-0 in the 34th and 69th minutes of the game in the last two cities.
When Queiroz heard this, he was shocked, he really didn't expect that the New Zealand team, which he had looked down on so much, would be so strong and able to lead Shijie champion Italy 3-0 so easily, which was really unexpected.
However, Queiroz's assistant said that after taking a big lead, the New Zealand team's backline also began to have problems, and in the later game, the New Zealand team conceded three goals in a row and was finally equalized by the Italian team.
Three to three, New Zealand and Italy actually stood in this big draw, which is indeed beyond many people's expectations. And everyone must have a re-evaluation of the strength of the New Zealand team, otherwise it will be everyone who suffers.
Queiroz was very interested in this, and he thought to himself, it seems that this New Zealand team is really not a fish belly team. Next, when facing this team, you can't take it lightly, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.
