England will win comfortably!?
Most people on the field of play now feel the same way, because both the momentum of the two teams and the current score of the English team have a big advantage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
C. Ronaldo, who has always been favored before the game, performed well, but compared with the brunette boy on the field, the absolute gap is revealed, and the two really do not have comparable surnames.
The rest of Portugal's players have also been okay, but it's not easy to catch up with two goals in such a performance, at least that's what most people think. Besides, England look like they're still attacking with their chances, and if they find a chance, especially the brunette kid, it's going to be another goal.
How difficult it was for Portugal to equalise.
It looks like England are going to win easily, a game that no one expected before the game, and now the England team on the pitch is so strong that it seems to be completely different from the team that has been slow to score in the World Cup qualifiers.
From this aspect, fans have also seen the influence of Wang Li, Thomas and several other people on the England team, especially Wang Li, the offensive line of the England team with him can almost be described as invincible, at least now the Portuguese team on the field wants to defend is very difficult, as long as they have a small mistake, then the England team can easily create goals.
At one point, the situation was moving in this direction.
Seeing this, the England fans in the audience were very excited, and they thought that this game would be an unprecedentedly difficult battle, because Portugal eliminated England with penalties two years ago, when the brunette boy was a substitute but was also involved in dozens of minutes of the game.
But now that England is 2-0 ahead, it seems that it is easy to score again, how can this not make them happy, although such a game is a bit one-sided, but it is the England team that has the advantage.
It's a sight to behold, and there is a sense of pride in England fans.
However, the Portuguese players on the pitch don't think so. This is the knockout round of the World Cup, if you lose once, you won't have a second chance, and the next time you want to enter the quarterfinals of the knockout round, it will be at least four years later, and what results will be said after four years, at least many of them will not be able to participate in that World Cup, such as Figo, such as Pauleta and so on.
Although the situation is now two goals down, they have not given up any hope.
However, this spirit of 'struggle' looked vulnerable in the face of England's attacking force, and in the 41st minute of the first half, England had another good chance.
Wang Li received a pass in the middle line, Figo jogged to meet him, Wang Li took the ball and sped up slightly, and at the moment when Owen kicked out, he pushed the ball to the right side, and went directly past Figo, and after that, the person he faced was Pauletta.
Both are Portugal strikers, and in the current situation, they have to come back to defend as well.
Pauletta is very steady, this is not the first time he and Wang Li have taught, when Figo stepped forward to grab the ball, he has been ambushing the rear and ready to make up for the defense, because he knows that Figo will not be able to grab the ball from the black-haired boy opposite, so he has been staring at Wang Li's feet and trying to find opportunities.
However, Pauletta didn't expect Figo's steal to have no effect on the brunette kid in front of him. Pauletta didn't rush to kick out, but stuck in the direction of Wang Li, and he wanted to intercept Wang Li's dribble in this way.
This method would have caused a lot of trouble for Wang Li in the past, but now? ……
Wang Li didn't entangle with him at all, but suddenly took the step of stepping on the snow without a trace, directly surpassing Pauletta's three positions, so that the latter could only follow him to eat dust - this is an absolute speed gap!
"Ula" saw this scene, and the English fans in the stadium became excited again.
After getting past the defense of the two, Wang Li kicked the ball to Beckham on the side, at this time, because Pauletta and Figo came to steal, Beckham was unguarded, Wang Li hoped that Beckham could pass a good pass to find a good opportunity for the team's attack.
However, after seeing Wang Li quickly insert into the penalty area, Beckham did not choose a long pass, because Figo posted it again, in this case, it is very difficult for him to pass a good ball, and his state in this game is not very good.
So, Beckham passed the ball to Gary, who was plugged in. Neville, who handed the ball to Gerrard with a diagonal pass, and Gerrard, after receiving the pass, hoisted the ball directly in the direction of the penalty area with a big foot.
Opportunity!
Wang Li took the opportunity to jump up directly from the spot and wanted to swing his head to shoot, but the moment he jumped, he felt that his jersey was being pulled.
This made him turn to the side, and without reacting, the ball bounced directly over his head and flew out of the penalty area.
"Oh my God! Allen made a mistake! Graham was surprised.
He couldn't help but be surprised, because the number of mistakes made by this brunette kid on the court was so small that Graham couldn't remember the last time he saw Wang Li make a mistake.
But at this moment, the situation on the field changed, Wang Li half-tilted his body and hit the body of a Portuguese player behind him, and fell on the grass in the penalty area, he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the player was C. Ronaldo, who was lying innocently on the grass at this time, and it seemed that he was hit by Wang Li.
It was as if he were a direct victim.
Obviously, this deceived the referee, and the Swedish referee ran over and warned Wang Li with a shout: "Boy, when you are playing, it's better to move smaller!" ”
This sentence made Wang Li angry, and he retorted: "But this is his foul, he just pulled my jersey." ”
The Swedish referee turned his head to look at C. Ronaldo, but the latter still looked innocent, so that the referee could not judge the facts, he could only warn Wang Li according to his judgment and walked away.
This scene made the England fans at the scene a little angry, they didn't know who was right and who was wrong, but one of the two people involved in the dispute was Wang Li, of course they would support Wang Li, so there was immediately a boo for the referee on the field.
Perhaps this boo 'deepened' the referee's impression of Wang Li and the England team
The game quickly went into halftime.
With two goals ahead, England won't be under much pressure at all, and in their current form, Portugal will be too difficult to equalise in the second half, and they are likely to score in the second half.
Not to mention the current situation, the team's black-haired boy is worthy of everyone's trust.
Thinking about this brunette boy's shot, everyone in the team had to give a thumbs up, and this powerful and accurate shot made everyone in England feel confident.
What if Portugal could score in the second half?
If they can get one, we'll get two! In this way, the opponent will never be able to win! That's what all the players in England think, and that doesn't include Ong Li, of course, because he's still reeling from the warning given by the referee in the first half.
Since his transfer to Real Madrid, Wang Li has rarely been angry on the field, first of all, he never does anything outside the rules, and it is not easy if other players foul him, besides, sometimes the referee will give Real Madrid 'special care', as the world's top player, he does not have to worry about any unfair treatment on the field.
But C. Ronaldo did foul in the first half, but the referee didn't see it, and the annoying Portuguese acted very well, and he was warned, which is really unfair.
"For the sake of victory, endure it!"
Wang Li can only think like this, in last year's UEFA Champions League final, because he couldn't stand the opponent's foul, he directly staged a full martial arts and was banned for half a year, and now the England team is still in the top 8, if he can't stand this, then without his team, the next games are really not good.
Aside from that, the atmosphere in the England dressing room was really good, but when manager McClaren walked into the dressing room, the players did not smile from his face, but only saw composure and seriousness, and after coming to the dressing room, McClaren began to lay out the tactics for the second half.
'Now we have two goal advantages and in the second half they have to hit back at the start, so we have to focus on the defensive side in the opening period, and the specific attack is after 10 minutes, looking for a counter-attack. Harilson, I'm going to put you on in the second half to replace Owen and you're going to focus on finding chances in the box. ”
"Alan, you're going to increase the number of long shots"
Hearing McClaren's attacking tactical arrangement, all the English players pinched a cold sweat for Portugal, Wang Li's long-range shot is undoubtedly powerful, as long as he shoots with his feet, he will definitely pose a threat to the opponent's goal.
And at this time, Harilson's role in the penalty area is highlighted, as a good shooter, Harilson is very active in the penalty area, although his body is not strong, and his technique is not outstanding, but when it comes to really grabbing points to shoot, even Wang Li has to bow down!
Such a combination is too strong a threat to Portugal's penalty area.
However, the duo is no stranger to Wang Li and Harilson, who were always looking for shots in this way during their first season at Wolverhampton.
'In the opening game, we had to drop back a little bit. At this time, McClaren calmly pointed to the tactical version and began to assign defense-related tasks, in this regard, he was very worried about the team, because the team's defense was really poor, and the only one who took the shot was probably Thomas.
"We are in this area, we need to strengthen the blockade, in the first half of the game, 83% of Portugal's counterattacks were launched on the left side, David, you have to pay more attention to the defense on the right side, keep an eye on the opponent's C. Ronaldo, his breakthrough is very threatening for our defense, and also pay attention to Pauletta, this player played well in the first half, if they play penetrating attacks, it is likely to use offside to get a chance to score."
"Also, Owen [Hargreaves], you have to reduce the dribbling on the wing, it's enough to have Cole on the left, you pay more attention"
McClaren has said a lot in terms of tactics, and it is clear that he values England's defence, and this arrangement will allow England to do a little better defensively, at least not allow Portugal to score easily, so that they can win easily.
Although the advantage of two goals in hand is huge, it is still possible to be overturned by the opponent, and McClaren does not want to see that happen, he needs to at least lead the team to the last four.
So, this game can only be won and not lost.
However, most of the English players were still happy, they didn't feel that Portugal had a chance to overtake the score in the second half, and most importantly, they had confidence in the team.
The winner of this battle of revenge will surely be England! However, McClaren, despite his confidence, cautioned as head coach: "You have to always remember that the game is not over yet, and I don't want to see any player get carried away. ”
"I hope you can hold your mind and save the excitement and excitement until the end of the game, not now, and wait for the referee to blow the final whistle for the moment when we should really celebrate."
"We haven't won the title yet and we have 45 minutes to go. I know you're all very excited right now, but it's not over yet, anything can happen in 45 minutes. It's not easy for them to accept defeat, we have to keep working hard and after 45 minutes is when the team should celebrate, I don't want to see a losing team then! ”
McClaren rarely says these things in front of the team, which is why he takes the game too seriously. After all, this is the first time he has led LinkedIn Glen, and it is such a strong England team, he is under a lot of pressure, and if the team does not get the results expected, I am afraid all the blame will be on him.
He didn't want to see that kind of situation, so he had to stay calm at all times.
At the same time, in the Portuguese dressing room, Scolari did not criticize the team, but only comforted them: "The opponent is very strong, I said this before the game, and now the situation of the team is not good, what you need to do is to play with your mind and don't keep the score in mind!" ”
'It's a World Cup game, even if there's a chance we have to win, two years ago we were able to win and now we still can! Be sure to remember that! ”
"In the second half, I ask you to attack at the beginning until you tie the score, don't pay too much attention to the defence, we need to equalise first to be on the same starting line as England" Scolari did not reprimand the players who did not perform well, nor did he put the blame on which player, because he felt that the current situation in Portugal needs to boost the morale of the team more, and only by taking the game seriously can he have a chance to have the last laugh in this big game
Just as McClaren had in mind, Portugal launched a big attack from the start of the second half.
Such offensive intensity has made many England strikers have to come back to participate in defense, even Owen and Rooney, the two forwards, and only Wang Li himself is at the front of the team, seemingly leisurely, but in fact ready to look for opportunities to give the Portuguese team a fatal blow.
In the minds of the England players, as long as they can hold on for the first 10 minutes, when they attack, the team will inevitably dominate again, and it is not impossible to win by a big score.
However, England did not have God's favor.
Like McLaren's concerns, England's defense is too poor, although there are 10 people in the backfield, including the goalkeeper, are all defending, but their defense is at least worse than Portugal's.
Such a match lasted only 7 minutes before Portugal scored, and it was Portugal's superstar C. Ronaldo.
The attack was initiated by midfielder Simao, who used his foot skills on the right flank to connect two people and then crossed diagonally to the edge of the penalty area, and then substitute Postiga kicked the instep of his foot to C. Ronaldo from the left, who shot directly from a distance, Thomas was blocked by the defender's body and did not react at all, and the ball hung directly into the corner of the goal.
The score became 2:1 and Portugal pulled a goal back.
It looked like it was not going to be good for England, and as the second half progressed for a while, it was brought back by England's attack.
However, the situation gradually developed in a bad direction, thinking that the players of both teams were moving more and more.
Because of the anxiety about the score, seeing the time pass minute by minute, the Portuguese players consciously increased their movements, and the England team, which is mainly physical, will never be weaker than the opponent in this regard.
As a result, in the 70th minute of the game, there was a scene of altercation on the field, which was Rooney, C. Ronaldo and two other Portuguese players.
Near midfield, Rooney got the ball in a scramble with C. Ronaldo and Carvalho, but then C. Ronaldo nudged him, which made his lower body lose balance.
As a result, Carvalho, who fell to the ground, was stepped on the groin by the sole of Rooney's left foot, which even the fans at the scene looked a little chilly, and Carvalho covered his crotch with his hand and looked painful, the referee was stunned when he saw this scene, and he did not show his cards directly after the whistle.
At this time, Wang Li saw that the situation was wrong and walked over, just now he clearly saw the whole process, although Xiao Xiaoluo's movements were very secretive, but he couldn't hide his eyes, he wanted to go over and explain to the referee.
But it's too late!
Rooney and Petit protested to the referee, Rooney pushed Rooney away in anger, and at this time, the referee who was close at hand directly called Rooney aside and showed him a red card!
