Chapter 1292: Equalizer

PS1: This is Wednesday's update.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to break the update......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

After scoring his fifth goal of the tournament and joining Czech striker Baros for the top scorer's chart, Diego Milito was naturally beaming. The Fiorentina striker and Camoranesi, who provided him with the assist, hooked shoulders on the sidelines and celebrated the goal in front of the stands where Italian fans gathered. After all, for a striker to be able to win the Golden Boot at the level of the European Championship, it is something to celebrate.

What's more, Milito's goal also helped Italy break the stalemate between the two sides on the pitch and give the Apennines the lead in the score, which is needless to say. So it's no surprise that Milito would look so excited after the goal.

However, just five minutes after Milito scored the deadlock-breaking goal for Italy, Portugal relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's header in the box to equalize the score in an attack, bringing the two teams back on the same page!

Ronaldo's forced breakthrough on the left side was successfully destroyed by the defender Panucci in addition to the bottom line, the corner kick Costa drove the ball to the center of the penalty area, and Ronaldo, who was originally cruising behind the goal, shook off Materazzi who was marking himself with an arrow, and shook his head five meters from the goal to score!

After seeing the referee signal that the goal was valid, Ronaldo roared all the way and ran on the sidelines for dozens of meters, until Figo and other teammates who came behind him to celebrate the goal fell to the ground and played Arhat, which finally stopped.

At this time, all the Portuguese players rushed towards Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the equaliser for the team. Perhaps some of them were still dissatisfied with Ronaldo's occupation of the main position, thinking that this little guy who is not yet 20 years old is stained with the light of playing for Fiorentina, a top giant. And after this goal, everyone has to admit that this young man, who is called "Little Ronaldo" by most media and fans, is indeed not worthy of the surname Ronaldo!

Hawkers, although he is not related to Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, two predecessors who became famous earlier and more famous, this does not prevent the media and fans from grouping them together......

"This kid, when did he develop this ability?" Looking at Ronaldo, who was celebrating wildly with his teammates on the sidelines, Nesta couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "It seems that I really underestimated this little guy's scoring ability." In time, Fiorentina may have more than one top scorer at the same time. ”

That being said, Nesta can also see that although Ronaldo now has the potential to become a top scorer, he only has that potential at the age of 19. The Portuguese youngster has not yet fully matured in many aspects, such as the use of technique, the timing of passes, the ability to read the game, etc., which will take time to precipitate. And, most importantly, Ronaldo's physical fitness at the age of 19 is far less perverted than when he was at the peak of his previous life, especially in terms of confrontation ability. This leads to the fact that even if he can judge the landing point of the ball in many cases, it is difficult for him to complete technical actions in the confrontation with defenders, and he will often be successfully defended by the opponent because of his physical losses.

Of course, if it was the fully mature Ronaldo in the previous life, it was obviously impossible for the Italian players to defend him in this way, because Ronaldo in that period was difficult to fall behind in physical confrontation, and his outstanding foot skills and first-class movement speed made this defensive job almost an extremely difficult thing.

As for whether Ronaldo will grow into the shooting machine in his previous life, it depends on what the new Fiorentina coach Mourinho thinks. After all, even if Vieri is aging, Fiorentina has no shortage of good scorers. Under such circumstances, it is really unknown whether Ronaldo will become the attacking core of the team when he was at Manchester United and Real Madrid in his previous life.

Therefore, although Cristiano Ronaldo equalised Portugal with a header, he managed to save the hosts' fortunes. But in the following time, Ronaldo, who tried to repeat his old tricks, kept hitting a wall under the targeted defensive strategy of Italian players. Under the meticulous care of Panucci and others, it was difficult for the Portuguese youngster to even receive the ball, let alone grab a shot.

After all, although Cristiano Ronaldo took the score by surprise with a header, the Italian player did not fall into the same pit twice. Before the game restarted, they quickly came up with a good way to defend Cristiano Ronaldo with the intelligence provided by Nesta, and it worked quite well.

Compared to Portugal, who have been struggling again in attack due to the increased vigilance of their opponents, Italy still has a chance to take the lead again. Before the end of the game, Pirlo instigated an attack in the midfield, and Cassano, who received the ball, broke through the defense of Miguel and Maniche on the left side in succession, and then suddenly volleyed close to the baseline!

If it weren't for Ricciardo's quick reaction, coupled with his height of 1.90m and the advantage of his reach, Portugal's life, I am afraid that the European Championship would have had another great zero degree goal after 16 years.

In this way, when the 90 minutes of regular play time ended, the two teams that had tied 1-1 on the pitch had to split the winners and losers again in the following extra time. Of course, if the two sides are still unable to decide the winner after 30 minutes, they will face a brutal penalty shoot-out.

In contrast, perhaps the Portuguese would prefer to drag the game to penalties. After all, they eliminated the mighty England in the quarter-finals in the exchange of penalties, and the main goalkeeper Ricardo's ability to save penalties and psychological quality have been fully proven. Italy, on the other hand, struggled with penalty shoot-outs, with the Azzurri falling to 12-yard points on a number of occasions in their history, such as the final against Brazil at the '94 World Cup and the semi-final against Argentina at the World Cup on home soil in '90. In fact, if it weren't for the Netherlands/Belgium Euro Championship four years ago, when they defeated the Netherlands, who are less adept at penalty kicks, and finally saved some face for their dismal penalty record, Italy would still have to compete with the Orange for the title of "the team that will not play the penalty for the least".
