190. Meet in France and fight again
Qiansheng glanced at the referee, didn't say anything, turned around and ran back to the middle circle. He knew that it was useless to argue with the referee about whether or not to commit a foul, not to mention that for an unimportant foul to offend the referee, a cadre with rich "social experience" would not do this loss-making business.
Looking at Qiansheng's back, Pepe wiped the sweat on his forehead, gasped and said: "This kid is really a monster, he has a lot of strength, and he stuck the route I want to pass, Christian, this kid is not easy to deal with." β
Christian Ronaldo twisted his neck, the corners of his mouth curled, and said: "No matter how difficult it is to deal with, he is also a person, you did a good job just now, I think he still lacks experience in the competition." His pressing action was big, and he was noticed by Mr. Referee, as long as you master the scale next time, you will be fine. β
Portugal's set-piece at the back, William Carvalho came up to take the penalty, he drove straight to the end of the England penalty area.
Portuguese striker Eder jumped high to the right and got the ball on the right for Nani to get his hands on it and burst up against Bertrand.
Bertrand stuck the position and didn't let go, but Nani, who rushed up, could stop it, and a few changes of direction made him dizzy, Nani threw him away with an acceleration, rushed to the sideline of the big penalty area and crossed the ball directly low.
Chris Smalling sliding tackle, no tackle.
Eder, who was inserted, grabbed the ball, but his first shot was too wide and was held in the arms of Tom Heaton, who was waiting for him.
'After Christian and Pepe came on, Portugal had a couple of attacks that were very threatening. Martin Taylor explains.
'There's too much pressure on Ryan on the flanks and you have to get Rose to assist.' Alan Shearer said with a worried expression.
Luis Figo smiled, although the Portuguese team was two goals behind, Figo believed that Portugal, with Ronaldo, Pepe and other main players, would come back sooner or later.
But soon, Figo's smiling face froze.
Heaton quickly ran to the sideline of the penalty area and kicked the ball, the ball flew straight into the Portuguese half, Harry Kane looked up at the trajectory of the ball as he ran, Bruno Alves chased it, the ball fell to the ground and bounced, Kane ran over to top the ball, at this time, the whole stadium saw an amazing scene.
Seeing that Kane was about to hit the ball, Alves was anxious, jumped up, kicked it with a flying kick, and the soles of his feet grazed Kane's scalp.
Kane screamed and fell to the ground with his head covered, and Alves looked at Kane rolling on the ground with a panicked expression, at a loss.
Qiansheng is furious, Nima, dare to hit my little brother! Immediately ran over.
Pepe was startled when he saw Qiansheng running towards Alves violently, and immediately chased after him, and shouted to the referee: "Mr. Referee, come quickly, you're going to hit someone." β
The audience rang out with shouts and boos, and the referee hurriedly ran over, pulled out the angry Qiansheng while pulling out the red card, and shouted: "England's No. 9!" Calm down! Calm down! β
Pepe chased after him, grabbed Qiansheng, and shouted, "Dry! Dry! Don't do it, Mr. Referee will take care of it. β
Qiansheng turned his head and said angrily: "****** this is kicking people or kicking football?" β
Pepe was speechless, but still grabbed Qiansheng and begged bitterly: "Bruno didn't mean it, he just wanted to grab the ball, he didn't expect to kick your teammate." β
The referee looked at Alves who shrugged his head unhappily, damn, it's just a friendly match, with such a big move? He sternly pointed off the court: "No. 2, play!" Then he leaned over to take a look at Kane's injury, and then said into the microphone: "Call the England team doctor to come in and deal with it, it's not very serious." β
The fourth official on the sidelines shouted a few words to the England dugout, and Gary Levin, the England national team doctor, ran into the field with a medical kit.
In the studio, Shearer angrily said to Figo: "Luis, is your team practicing sanda? If you don't play well, it will only hurt people! β
Figo groaned a few times, didn't know what to say, and couldn't stop scolding Alves for being embarrassed.
Don't look at the Portuguese team as a technical team, in fact, this team has a strong style of play and a rough style, and none of them are fuel-efficient lights.
Pepe, who has been fouled constantly in his career, is commonplace to take cards, and several foul actions are the same as Chinese kung fu, so Chinese fans give him the nickname "Warrior Monk".
Alves's flying kick is quite Chinese martial arts, and it seems that Portuguese players like to watch Chinese kung fu movies.
Seeing Qiansheng chattering at the back of Alves' departure, the referee with a black line stepped forward to pat him and said, "No. 9, he has been sent off, you quickly return to your position and concentrate on the game." β
Qiansheng shook off Pepe's hand, looked at the referee, and walked towards Kane, who was carried to the side of the pitch for treatment.
"Harry, are you alright?" Qiansheng said with concern: "If it's serious, go down and rest." β
Kane, who was wrapped in gauze, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a small injury, dry, you haven't helped me yet, and I haven't scored a goal." β
"Okay, if I don't score, I'll give you assists! Cleaning up this gang will only fight. Qiansheng glanced at Pepe and said fiercely.
Pepe shuddered suddenly, looked around, and muttered, "Hell, someone must be cursing Lao Tzu." β
With Alves off the pitch, Fernando Santos replaced veteran No. 6 Ricardo Carvalho for Joao Moutinho, then called Pepe back to the back and William Carvalho back to the midfield.
Portugal, which has one less player, is now in a formation of 3411, and in the face of the Three Lions, Portugal is more than lucky today.
Because of the injury of his teammates, the angry Qiansheng was full of firepower, running all over the field, desperately scrambling for the Portuguese players holding the ball, but the action was too big and was whistled several fouls by the referee.
may know Qiansheng's experience in the Premier League, coupled with the boos of the fans in the stands and the cheers for Qiansheng, the referee did not take out a yellow card warning, so he had to call him in front of him after another foul, warn him, and remind him that if he fouls again, he will be given a card.
Qiansheng looked at the referee coldly and did not speak. The referee was chilled by his scalp, and hurriedly waved his hand to call Qiansheng away.
Qiansheng's crazy pressing disrupted the rhythm of Portugal, and with one person missing, the two sides gradually became entangled in the midfield.
The first half passed quickly, and as the referee's whistle blew, the first half ended, with two wonderful goals from Qiansheng, England led Portugal 2-0.
If England don't make mistakes, they will face Portugal, who have one man less, and will likely win for the first time since the two sides met.
Even though it was only a friendly match, it was significant, especially for England, who were going to fly to France to prepare for the European Championships. Therefore, three consecutive wins in the warm-up matches, especially against the strong Portuguese team, can boost their self-confidence against strong teams for the young Three Lions.
In the England locker room, Qiansheng and Kane and others looked at Hodgson in surprise.
"It's just a friendly game, Qian, your two goals have already helped us win this game, in the second half, let the team-mates practice. Your stage, in France. Hodgson looked at Qiansheng quietly.
Qiansheng is a person who values affection, Kane was injured, although I don't know if he will find a way to retaliate, but Qiansheng's scramble is very large, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that something will happen, plus the other party has one less person, and it is still a 2-goal lead, even if Qiansheng is replaced, the team will not lose. Although Ronaldo is very strong, it is obvious that he is not in form now, after all, he has played too many games this season. The defense of their own team is not paper-mΓ’chΓ©, as long as the tactics are right, winning this game is not a problem.
Qiansheng looked at Kane, who had gauze wrapped around his forehead, and as a trustworthy person, he said that he would assist Kane in scoring goals.
Kane patted Qiansheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Qian, it's okay, I'll hold my breath, and when the time comes, we will be in Marseille and teach the Russians a hard lesson." β
England will face their first opponent in the group stage, "Polar Bear" Russia, at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on June 11.
Whether they can get off to a good start and win the first game and lay a solid foundation for qualifying from the group stage will be a huge test for the young Three Lions.
Every team that can reach the finals of the European Championship is not a weak team. England and Russia have only met twice, and they have only been a draw with one win and one loss.
Seeing Kane say this, Qiansheng didn't say anything anymore, and secretly made up his mind to help Kane score more goals in the next game.
In the second half, England made a big rotation, except for Heaton and Smalling, the rest of the starters were all replaced. Gary Cahill was off the pitch and the captain's armband was handed to Wayne Rooney.
"Sure enough, he didn't play in the second half." Shearer said.
Taylor turned around and said: "Roy is still clear-headed, knowing that this is only a friendly game, and since the first half is already 2-0, there is no need to continue to let them stay on the field." β
Shearer nodded and said, "There is still a week before the European Cup starts, so we have to make sure that we don't get hurt." β
Figo looked at them with a confused face, a 15-year-old child, even if he won the Premier League Golden Boot with his goal statistics against the sky, but he is only 15 years old, and he is treated as a core player of the national team.
Since the development of modern football, has there ever been a 15-year-old player who has been at the heart of the national team?
Figo feels like his football outlook is about to collapse, aren't the Three Lions' important players Joe Hart, Cahill, James Milner and Wayne Rooney?
How did he know that there was only one core of Hodgson's new tactics, Qiansheng. Only he can play the new tactics he wants.
"Wayne, good luck and hope to play you again in France, when the time comes, it won't be this scoreline."
"Christian, I hope you can make it out of the group, hehe."
At the end of the game, England and Portugal exchanged attacks in the second half, but neither side could find the back of the net, and finally England won their first win against Portugal 2-0, ending with three consecutive friendly wins. (To be continued.) )
