Chapter 359: The First Voice
Nuno Gomez shoots from distance!
Our goalkeeper, Radici, saw Nuno Gomez hit a powerful long-range shot, he flew to save and punched the ball out! The ball that was hit by Radici flew to the vicinity of our penalty area, and at this time, Luis Figo, who followed up, flew up again to shoot! Luis Figo's shot made a very beautiful arc, it spun very strongly, and the ball went to the top left corner of the goal! Our goalkeeper Radici couldn't get back up immediately after saving a shot from Nogomez and he barely managed to save in the opposite direction, but couldn't make a save. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the back line www.biquge.info he was Simic! He had already seen Luis Figo's intention to make a follow-up shot, so he returned to the goal and headed Luis Figo's shot out!
Luis Figo's shot was pushed out by Simic, which made Figo very puzzled, and he didn't know when Simic ran there. In fact, although our Croatian team lacks a midfielder, our central defenders are very flexible, and our complements have always been quite effective. Bilic can play the role of a midfielder on a temporary basis, while Simic is always on the lookout for fill-ins, and in defence, Radic's saves also play a very important role, so that our central defense is actually not bad.
Although we don't have a good midfielder in Croatia, our two centre-backs are very good after all, and with the excellent goalkeeper Radici, we are not as bad as we thought in defence. And our Croatia team is an attacking team, if a team is attacking and can't beat us to death, then when we get the attacking power, they will know that they are wrong!
Even if such a team is Portugal, we will definitely let him know his mistake! Simic's ball went to the position of Marić on our right side, and Marić allowed the Portuguese team to press the void formed by us in time, and he drove directly with a big foot without stopping the ball!
This big kick was kicked out, and the ball did not fly very high, but flew to the opponent's backcourt at a very fast speed. I and Boksic and Boban and a few other players raced in the direction of the ball, and of the three, I was the first to get the ball, I stopped Marić's pass with my chest, and then, with a flick of my head, I passed the ball to Boban. When I passed the ball, a Portuguese central defender rushed towards me, he wanted to steal my ball, but I didn't expect me to pass the ball immediately, he didn't brake, his body hit me, and the referee's whistle sounded directly.
Direct free kick in front!
The Portuguese players were very unhappy with the referee, they thought that the ball should be a ball, but because we have advanced to a very dangerous place at this time, if we let Croatia take such a free kick, the Portuguese will be in a very dangerous situation. This free-kick is only thirty or forty meters away from the goal, and it is completely possible to shoot directly at the goal, for the Portuguese team, their height is not very high, even if they line up the human wall, it is difficult to clear the human wall high enough, so it is quite difficult for them to defend direct free kicks. In order to avoid a direct free-kick shot, the Portuguese rushed in the direction of the referee and reasoned with the referee. But how will the referees accept their advice? Not only did he not change the decision, but he also gave a verbal warning to the Portuguese player who came here and almost gave him a yellow card.
In the end, the Portuguese players accepted the result, fearing that the referee would give them a yellow card for the ball. So the Portuguese players started to line up the human wall, their wall was very close to the ball and did not reach enough 9.15 meters, and the referee blew the whistle and protested to the Portuguese players under our protest. He pushed the Portuguese players to the back and put them on their feet at 9.15 metres. Although the Portuguese players are indignant, they can only do this, otherwise, the referee's yellow card will come out again.
In our team, the penalty taker is usually Boban, but this time I suggested to Boban that Boksic take the free-kick. The reason is very simple, because Boksic practiced a flying dragon cannon, this shot, can make the ball fall down quickly, the power is strong, the speed is fast, and it is a typical elevator ball, this kind of ball, as a free kick, is the best way to pass through the human wall, plus the speed, the power, then this free kick shot has a great possibility to break through the Portuguese goal!
So, Boksic stood in front of the ball, and Boban stood on the other side of the ball, in this ball, Boban's main effect is to dangle a shot, Boban uses a fake shot to attract people to jump in advance, so that the ball that Boksic really kicks can run in a lower arc, so that the power will be greater!
So Boban began to run, my class's run, so that the Portuguese players were very nervous, when Boban waved his left foot, ready to shoot, the Portuguese team wall players jumped one after another! But they didn't wait for Boban's shot, Boban's false kick was very realistic, and it really made the Portuguese team's human wall jump early! At this time, Boksic began to run, he rushed to the position of the ball, flew up with a kick, and hit a "dragon cannon"!
The ball flew towards the goal with a strong spin and a strong wind! This shot surprised the goalkeeper of the Portuguese team, Bea! With the wall blocking his view, he couldn't make a judgment in advance, and it was too late for Boksic's shot to appear in front of him...... His movement, his saves, he did his best, but even then he couldn't save the ball...... So Boksic's dragon cannon flew into the door of the Portuguese team, 1:0, we were ahead!
In the previous two games, we were scored first and then fought back, but it was only in this game against Portugal that we really took the lead in the first half. When we are behind, we have a different mood than when we are ahead. If you can take the lead from the start, who wants to be scored a goal first, and then work so hard to get it back! Now we have a one-goal lead over Portugal, strategically we have taken the initiative and then we will play our game......
