After this match between England and Ireland, it will be followed by the battle between Spain and Portugal.

This game is more gimmicky than the previous game, the two teams are similar in strength, but they are not the favorites to win the championship, which is perhaps the most embarrassing place for the two teams, especially the Spanish group stage record can blind many teams, but unfortunately those experts and scholars are still not optimistic about them, because Spain has always been the king of the qualifiers, and this time it may be the same, although this time the head coach is Camacho, the former captain of Real Madrid.

Spain and Portugal are both in a 442 formation. On the Spanish side, the goalkeeper is Cassie, the four members of the back line are Puyol, Hierro, Nadal, Garcia, the four players in the midfield are Enrique, Elguera, Bellerón and Joaquin, the two forwards are still Morientes and Raul, and there are also giants such as Barajamendieta on the bench.

The lineup on Portugal's side is the same as against the German team, this duel between Figo and Joaquín makes Nie Huan look forward to it, Joaquín at this time is very sharp, and Figo is now at the peak Although the two are not at the same level, Nie Huan is still looking forward to it, because Spain's midfield configuration is not weak, especially Belleron, who is known as Zidane in La Liga, and is also half of the apprentice of the ghost De Jamingha, it can be said that without De Jamingha, there would be no Belleron, and the relationship between the two of them is like Xiao Luo and Okocha.

I have to say that Dejaminha's absence from the Brazilian team this time is good news for the German team, because this guy's difficulty index is comparable to Zidane, and he is called a genius because he never plays cards according to common sense.

As soon as the two teams came up, they fought against each other, and the two sides went back and forth. The fight was quite energetic, and Belleron really did not disappoint Nie Huan. He didn't fall behind in the confrontation with Rui Costa in midfield, and he is arguably the model of a professional player. And he is a devout Christian, even more religious than Kaka, and what is even more rare is that he is very low-key, he doesn't care about anything except football, the main thing is that he never cares about his salary, in his eyes, he can have what he has today, it is completely a gift from God.

If half of this character of Belleron were transplanted to Dejaminha. Then maybe that thing is not a ghost, but a genius.

The two teams are comparable, and in the audience today, Nie Huan and Beckham sat together, opposite to Helen Vitting, who is Figo's wife, and is also a very low-key celebrity wife.

Nie Huan is naturally with the three daughters, who are completely like conjoined babies during the World Cup, where do they go. The other two had to follow, and they couldn't have the opportunity to be alone with Nie Huan at all.

Nie Huan is so amazing in the World Cup, I'm afraid it has something to do with this, there is nowhere to vent his energy, he can only vent it on his opponent.

"Nie. That Belleron feels so strong, and the midfielder who doesn't fall behind in the confrontation with Rui Costa can really be counted on one hand. "Beckham, who is also a European opponent, still knows a lot about Rui Costa's quality. But that's not how I know about Belleron. "David, he's Dejaminha's apprentice. In fact, the strength is not weak, but he is in La Liga. And it's not that you know much about him in the big teams, it's understandable, this guy is called Zidan in La Liga. Nie Huan's words made Beckham stunned, La Liga Zidan, this kid seems to have two brushes.

The two sides fought fiercely on the field, in the thirtieth minute, Joaquin broke through on the left side and was put to the ground by Costa, the Spanish players were very dissatisfied, and went up to reason with the referee on duty, because the opponent fouled the ball too badly, and did not give the opponent a yellow card.

Spain's set-piece did not pose much of a threat, and at the end of the first half, Hierro made a sliding tackle against Figo, who was also galloping, and Figo fell to the ground heavily.

The referee did not give a yellow card this time, and gave Portugal a set-piece, which was punished by Figo himself, Figo looked at Cassie's position, and then pumped his left foot the front of the ball, and the ball spun sideways and flew towards the goal. The route of the ball was judged by Cassie correctly, Cassie pounced directly, he saved the ball, but before he could save it, he was gently stabbed by Portugal's striker Gomes, and the ball slid into the door of Spain 1:0 along Cassie's hand, relying on Gomez's dexterous follow-up shot, Portugal took the lead.

The first half ended in such a dramatic moment, and although Portugal took the lead, the Spanish midfield led by Enrique and Belleron still caused Portugal a lot of problems.

In the second half of the game, Camacho did not make substitutions, Spain's offensive was still as fierce as ever, in the 60th minute, it was Joaquín again, and it was a side raid, this time it was Costa, this time Joaquín did not let Costa trip again, and passed the ball to the penalty area when the opponent was about to approach him, Morientes jumped high and pressed Xavier to push the ball in, Baia was powerless against the ball, he was old, he was no longer the Barcelona goalkeeper he used to be.

The score was levelled and Camacho celebrated almost frantically next to Oliveira, who looked at Camacho as if he were watching a monkey show.

Shortly after Spain equalized, Oliveira replaced Paulo Sousa, the back talent, finally appeared again, this World Cup, the back performance is quite steady, it can be said that Portugal has come to this point and his play is not unrelated, although the core of Portugal is Figo, but Paulo Sousa is still an indispensable member.

Paulo Sousa came on to make Rui Costa less embarrassed against the Spanish midfield, and his presence quieted Portugal again.

When Paulo Sousa arrived, Bellerón felt that his control of the midfield was not as smooth as before, and at this time he suddenly remembered what Dejaminha said to himself: "Football is a war, no matter what the process is. People will always remember the winner in the future. Although in the eyes of many people, Dejaminha is a muddy person. But Belleron is very aware of this guy's strength, and he learned a lot of things from him. Although he is unruly, although he has a fiery temper, his talent cannot be erased by anyone.

The days of playing next to Dejaminha were the most comfortable time for me, during that time, I really learned a lot, and now without him by my side, who can I trust in the face of Paulo Sousa and Rui Costa?

Belleron held the ball firmly at his feet and suddenly made a Marseille maneuver in the face of Paulo Sousa. Paulo Sousa came to his breakthrough position very sophisticatedly, who knew that this Beleron suddenly turned around again and completely passed himself, and Rui Costa hurried over to fill the position.

At this time, Belleron did not hesitate, because he saw Raul who had been cruising in the front court for a long time, and he passed the ball without hesitation. But this Raul suddenly passed, and Morientes received the ball again, 2:1. Spain put the score on the back burner.

Camacho was already excited at this time, and Oliveira's face was very calm at this time. Now I can only see the performance of my own teammates.

Paulo Sousa looked at Bellerón and didn't say anything, just returned to the backfield to prepare for the kick-off. There is less than half an hour left in the game.

Portugal's golden generation understands at this time that they have to give it a go. Seventy minutes. Paulo Sousa and Rui Costa combined in midfield to completely play the Spanish midfielder.

The crowd was dumbfounded, with Paulo Sousa and Rui Costa passing back and forth. Completely exhausted the Spanish midfielders, Belleron wanted to stabilize the rhythm at this time, but the opponent didn't give you a chance at all, another straight stopper, another Figo, and that absolute speed.

Hierro followed Figo very closely, Figo did not come hard at this time, because Paolo Sousa had already followed, Figo made a light knockback, and Paolo Sousa was a long-range shot before Puyol.

The audience seems to be able to hear the whistling of the ball in flight, Cassie's palms are sweaty at this time, he is really nervous, he can't be nervous, he can't be nervous, Cassie thought silently in his heart, but before he came to his senses, the ball went into the goal, and the score was equalized again. 2:2。

Casey was very upset, and so was Puyol, Nadal was comforting both of them, and this match was very important for both sides.

Camacho is very hesitant at this time, whether to change now, but who to replace, the Spanish bench is glittering, but who can be used for immediate combat power, Baraja, Mendieta, who are the two of them to choose.

The momentum and feeling of Portugal's golden generation seems to be back, and when Camacho hesitated on the sidelines, Portugal counter-attacked again, it was Figo, and this time the defender became Nadal, who has no obvious shortcomings as a defender, he is one of the veterans of this Spanish team. Nadal was determined against his former club team-mate.

Figo faced Nadal, and it was not so easy to get rid of for a while, although the other party was old, he still knew his movements and characteristics very well.

But Figo is Figo after all, this time he first shook a shot, and then suddenly accelerated, Nadal's legs were fixed in place, but Figo had already come to the Spanish penalty area at this time.

In the face of this dangerous person, the Spanish defenders were very hesitant, but Figo didn't give them much opportunity to think, and another volley, this time Cassie blocked the ball directly with both fists, but it was followed by a hanging door, and Cassie held it out with his hands.

Both threats were defused, and Cassie finally got rid of the pot he had carried before, but there was still a threat from this corner kick from Portugal.

The corner kick was taken by Rui Costa, and the ball was still looking for the back point, and the disadvantage of the Spanish backline was immediately highlighted, and the disadvantage of their players' lack of height in the corner set piece was revealed.

Cassie's eyes were staring at Figo tightly, but he never thought of this ball, Figo was a cover in front, and the top of the ball was Pauletta, who had been invisible throughout the game, and he received the ball directly and rubbed it, and the ball rolled into the door, at this time there were still a few minutes left in the game, and Pauleta's shot could be called a lore.

Camacho was dumbfounded, at this time he replaced Baraja and Mendieta, replaced Joaquín and Belleron, so that Portugal had a better chance of winning, because the opponent's person who controlled the rhythm had already gone down, and Baraja's power had to be with Albeda to be revealed, as for Mendieta, he was not as fast as Joaquin, although his technique was very good.

Camacho's final substitution was a tragedy, and it also caused the Matadors to finally fall at the feet of the golden generation.

It's a really up-and-down game and you'll never get bored watching Portugal.

The next group of Nigeria and Russia matchup is not so good-looking, because it is completely Nigeria's one-sided crushing, especially Okocha, no one in the midfield can restrain him at all, and the result is already 1:0 at half-time.

Russia didn't give up, and neither could they, and they equalised from a corner shortly after the start of the second half.

It's a pity that Okocha made a comeback again, making Russia's previous efforts come to naught, and in the end the score of this game was 2:1, Russia played like a group, but not as a whole, which is why they lost to each other.

Nigeria advanced, and the next step was the duel between Germany and Paraguay, and the media joked that this was a duel between Nie Huan and Chilavert, although Nie Huan was not a goalkeeper, but his performance was really not inferior to the top goalkeeper.

"This game, Nie, you go back to the midfield, Dietmar, you can rest." Hamann nodded, his state in this World Cup is indeed very average, and this time facing Paraguay may be a better choice than Nie Huan.

This Paraguay, Nie Huan is not familiar with it at all, although this team has always been a South American powerhouse, but there are really few names that can be remembered, this time their national team lineup, Nie Huan only knows one Chilavet, and the others don't know either.
