Chapter 162: Rui Costa's Iron Tree Blossoms
There is a saying in the Portuguese team called: Rui Costa Iron Tree Blossoms, Portugal Must Win. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What does this mean? That is to say, although Rui Costa is a super playmaker in the midfield, his shooting ability is very weak, as a forward player, he can hardly score a goal in a year, but whenever Rui Costa scores in the Portuguese team, or even in the club Fiorentina team, as long as he scores a goal, whether it is the Portuguese team or the Fiorentina team, the game will inevitably win. This is the so-called origin of the blossoming of the Rui Costa iron tree and the inevitable victory of the Portuguese team. In fact, it is not only the Portuguese team, but even the Fiorentina team, but because Rui Costa has a strong patriotic heart and has played countless classic games on behalf of Portugal, this sentence will be passed on more in the paragraphs related to the Portuguese team.
I've heard of this before. So, I also said to our players at the back to focus on Rui Costa. Judging by the effect so far, there is no way for our players at the back to really limit Rui Costa, but it is possible to limit Rui Costa's starting shots. At least for thirty minutes in the first half, Rui Costa didn't have a single shot on target. He's been using his passes to pull us apart, and his passing is ghostly, but he doesn't have a single shot, which means that he doesn't get many opportunities himself.
This time, Portugal once again served in the midfield. Rui Costa passed the ball to Nuno Gomez, and after Nuno Gomez got the ball, he began to break forward, but in front of him was the defense of several of our players, and Nuno Gomez suddenly had a hard time breaking through, so he turned around and passed the ball back to Rui Costa's feet.
So Rui Costa began his own personal attack. Although his shooting is not good, whether it is passing or passing, he is the best in the world, and the combination between him and Luis Figo is also very remarkable. Luis Figo, as a player on the right wing, and Rui Costa, a central player, passed many times within 30 meters of the wing, past Marić and Giarni and other wide players, and then he quickly hit our wide line, passed the ball to Luis Figo, Figo crossed from the bottom, and Nuno Gomez in the middle received a header, but it was headed out by Simic on our back line.
As a striker, Nuno Gomez is not very tall and headers are not his strong point. However, Luis Figo could only use his header to cross from the wing. The most important thing is that our defender Simic has greatly improved his physical fitness due to the training in the gravity training room, and has an absolute advantage in the competition for the top, so Nunogomez is not his opponent at all.
However, Portugal have put a lot of effort into attack, and their midfielders have been like locusts over our half. Simic's ball soon fell into Portugal's control, and one of Portugal's midfielders passed the ball to Rui Costa, who got the ball and started to push forward again. Luis Figo also came back to assist him, and the two Portuguese midfield Gemini signs once again played possession and pressed towards our backline!
As a result, our two strikers, Boban and Prosinetski, were once again forced to shrink their defence. It will not be easy for them to face two tough opponents, Rui Costa and Luis Figo. Boban and Prosinetski pressed on Rui Costa and Luis Figo respectively, and their main idea was to keep the two main ball handlers at bay and not let them get the ball, as I did with Boksic just now. But my press and I were based on the fact that everyone else was on the defensive, and the Portuguese attack, with the exception of Luis Figo and Rui Costa, was actually being defended by our other players. The rest of our players can defend the rest of the Portuguese team, and the addition of me and Boksic to the squad is an extra strength. Now, Boksic and I are still in the forward line, Boban and Prosinetski, and it is even more difficult to push Rui Costa and Luis Figo alone!
As a result, when Boban went to defend Rui Costa, he was directly given by Rui Costa, and Rui Costa used his gorgeous dribbling skills to clean up Boban. Boban's skills are not bad, but his defensive ability is still quite far behind Rui Costa's offensive ability. After all, Boban is an offensive player, if he had been to Rui Costa, maybe Rui Costa would have been clean by him, but he used his offensive talents on defense, and in one-on-one defense, he really couldn't deal with Rui Costa.
Rui Costa was there, and after Boban, he was soon near the top of our penalty area. At this time, Simic rushed up, and he wanted to defend Rui Costa quickly and prevent him from passing the ball as he wanted in the box.
However, Simic missed one aspect, and what he missed was a fatal one......
Rui Costa made a Marseille turn, passed Simic, and then, straight on the spot, rubbed a very beautiful arc -
Simic did a lot of calculations, but he only defended Rui Costa's pass, but did not prevent Rui Costa's possible pass, let alone Rui Costa's shot! As a result, Rui Costa, who usually rarely scores goals, actually hit a very beautiful arc shot...... Like a rainbow, the shot flew into the top left corner of our goal...... The ball was fast, the angle was awkward, and the spin was very violent, and our goalkeeper Radici flew out to save with all his might, but after all, he was powerless, and the ball finally hung into the net......
At 2:1, Portugal recovered a goal, and at the same time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
I saw Rui Costa's goal and suddenly froze-
I am reminded of that legend, the legend that the Rui Costa iron tree blossoms and Portugal is bound to win.
Legend has it that Ruy Costa has won all the games in history, and such a thing is chilling in every way. Now, in this game, Rui Costa scored another goal for Portugal, although we are still leading 2-1, but what will happen next, no one can say.
What to do? In case Portugal can indeed be reversed, how will we respond? In this way, we can only pray that the Danish team will not defeat Turkey?
I thought about the pact with Schmeichel. In any case, I will abide by this agreement, and I will definitely beat the Portuguese team......
