"CCTV! Cctv! This is the sports channel, and today we are going to bring you the first match of the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, against the Portuguese national team and the Uruguayan national team. Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"This game is going to be a very exciting game, both teams have shown a very strong determination to win this game before the game, after all, one step further is the final, and no one wants to drop the chain at this time." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"At this point in the process, there have been some problems on both sides to a greater or lesser extent, and it is no longer their peak state, but on the contrary, this game will be better to watch, and there are more unknown expectations." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Okay, at this point, the players from both sides have come out of the dressing room and are waiting in the tunnel for the final appearance, and now we will use this time to introduce you to the starting line-ups of both sides today." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"First of all, let me introduce you to the starting list of the Uruguayan national team today." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Today, there were some changes to the formation of the Uruguayan national team, and Tabares made a big adjustment, which has something to do with Suarez's red card suspension." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV Sports Channel, said, "Today, Tabares is not a four-three-three, but a four-four-two formation. ”

"In the goalkeeper position, it's still Muslera, and there is no change in this position." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

'There have been some changes in the back four, with Maxi Pereira, Vittorita, Godin and Cáceres starting today. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.

"It's a big change, Uruguay's captain and centre-back Lugano didn't appear in the starting line-up for this game, he was replaced by Godin, who returned from injury, and Fucile's suspension was replaced by Cáceres, this back line has changed a lot, and it may have a big impact on their defense." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

'The four who started in the midfield four were Diego Pérez, Gagano, Álvaro Ríos and Álvaro Pereira. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.

'Álvaro Fernandez was replaced by Álvaro Pereira today and sat on the bench. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, immediately sighed.

'The two up front are Diego Forlan and Edinson Cavani, and the absence of Suarez without the suspended in the front line today will have a big impact on their attack. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Okay, that's the starting list for today's Uruguayan national team, now I'm going to introduce you to the starting list of the Portuguese national team today." Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, looked at the information in his hand and began to speak.

"Today, the Portuguese national team is still in a 4231 formation, and it seems that they don't want to be interesting at all." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said, "In the goalkeeper position, Eduardo is still Eduardo, this guy has always performed well and is trustworthy." ”

'In the back four, it's Paolo Ferreira, Carvalho, Alves and Coentrão. Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said, "Today the backline has finally changed again, Paolo Ferreira has finally reappeared in the starting lineup, and Ricardo Costa has been ruthlessly replaced." ”

Previously, Paolo Ferreira only played one group stage, and his place was replaced by Ricardo Costa, sitting on the bench indefinitely, but I didn't expect that today this guy completed the counterattack and appeared in the starting list again.

'Next up is the two-man position, there is a little change here, the two who started today were Pepe and Veloso, and Mereles was on the bench today and was replaced by Veloso. Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"On the forward line, there is no change, the trio is Nani. Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo, this is a combination that cannot be beaten. Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.

"Finally, there's the guy up front, he's Hugo Almeida, and this guy has also completed the counterattack and has been replacing Leedsson." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Okay, that's the starting line-up for today, and now they're on the pitch and they're going to start the pre-match rituals." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

Seeing the players of both sides walking into the stadium, the scene immediately erupted in hot cheers, and fans on both sides were cheering for their teams.

Soon the two sides quickly completed the pre-match ceremony under the leadership of Uzbek referee Iramatov, and the players of both sides stood in their positions and waited for the game to begin.

Qiu Ze and Hugo Almeida stood in the center circle, waiting for the final start of the match.

Referee Iramatov stared at his watch for a while, then suddenly looked up and blew the whistle for the official start of the game.

At the same time, Hugo Almeida in the center circle immediately turned the ball a little bit and then rushed into the Uruguayan half himself. And Qiu Ze also quickly passed the football to the backfield, and he also rushed into the Uruguayan half.

"CCTV! Cctv! The semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa between the Portuguese national team and the Uruguayan national team have officially begun, and the first kick-off will be the Portuguese national team, wearing the red jersey, who will attack from the right side of the screen to the left. Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"And today's Uruguayan national team is wearing their aqua blue jersey and attacking from the left side of the screen to the right." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, also said immediately.

The game officially began, the central midfielder Pepe caught the football, Cavani immediately pounced, Pepe had to cross the football, the football rolled to the feet of Veloso.

As soon as Veloso got the ball, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo on the side raise his right hand high to ask for the ball, and Veloso did not hesitate and sent the football directly to Cristiano Ronaldo's feet.

Cristiano Ronaldo caught the football, and the defenders of the Uruguayan national team posted on it to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo from turning. Cristiano Ronaldo immediately slashed the ball backwards and then spun around the Uruguayan defender and scurried forward.

Coentrão in the Portuguese national team's backline did not stop the ball and directly picked up the ball, which went over the heads of the Uruguayan national team defenders and rolled towards Cristiano Ronaldo.

Uruguayan full-back Cáceres immediately pounced and came up to block Cristiano Ronaldo.

At this time, Qiu Ze, who followed in the middle, immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball and motioned to Cristiano Ronaldo to cross the football horizontally.

Cáceres naturally saw it, and he couldn't help but lean towards the middle. Cristiano Ronaldo ignored Qiu Ze's meaning, and directly turned the football to the side, directly changing direction past Cáceres.

"It's over! Cristiano Ronaldo passed Cáceres, the game has just begun, the Portuguese national team has a good chance, Cristiano Ronaldo is in good form today! Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

Past Cáceres, Cristiano Ronaldo immediately took the ball and cut inside and smashed into the Uruguayan national team's penalty area.

Uruguay's centre-back Godin and goalkeeper Muslera both moved quickly towards the near corner to block Cristiano Ronaldo's shot.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw Godin save, he immediately waved back his feigned shot, shook Godin and then suddenly turned the ball sideways into the middle of the box and shook it open.

Suddenly, all the Uruguayan national team fans in the stadium changed their faces greatly, and their hearts were uneasy, could it be that they were about to concede goals just after the game began?

"Opportunity! Great opportunity! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, also roared excitedly.

After shaking Godin, Cristiano Ronaldo did not hesitate, directly rounded his right leg and pumped it fiercely towards the football.

"Cristiano Ronaldo volleys!" Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, also opened his throat and roared loudly.

With a bang, the football immediately shot at the goal of the Uruguayan national team like a cannonball.

Almost all Uruguayans thought that the goal was too bad luck, but at this time, Muslera, the goalkeeper of the Uruguayan national team, suddenly came out of nowhere, put his body in front of the goal, and kept the football out of the door with both hands.

The ball concentrated Muslera's palm hard and then popped off the baseline.

"Oh my god! Muslera! Magical Muslera! He actually saved Cristiano Ronaldo's close-range shot from the bottom line, oh my God, is this guy a god? How could he save the football? It's unbelievable! Unbelievable! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, exclaimed.

All the fans at the scene also felt very incredible when they saw all this, and it was ridiculous that they didn't score a goal with such a close-range shot! It's too fake!
