No. 210 Victory is in sight

The game had reached the injury time of the whole game, and the score was still Portugal 1:1 Germany, and the game was deadlocked.

"It was a tough game and the score is still 1:1! If there is no change to the score in stoppage time, the game will go into 30 minutes of extra time......" Lineker said with great regret. If Nani's shot had scored, the game would have been almost over!

It's just that on the football field, there is never an 'if', and that's the charm of the football game.

In stoppage time, in the final moments, Portugal's attacking chances.

Jonk is dribbling the ball.

A false shot fooled the rushing German full-back Friedrich, and then Jonker pulled the ball and rushed past Friedrich into the box......

Without the slightest hesitation! Jonk shoots with his feet!

The ball flew straight into the far corner of the goal, but Lehmann's reaction was unusually fast, only to see him fall to the ground and pounce on his right, stretch out his long hand, and flick the ball out!

"Beautiful save!!" The German narrator shouted. Such a save made the Germans' blood boil. "Great save!"

Jonk couldn't believe his eyes, he stood in the restricted area, looking at Lyman who got up from the ground and roared at him!

Bellow!

That's right, it's a roar!

In such a way, the German international seems to be announcing to Jonker, to all the Portuguese players, that this is his turf! He is unbeatable!

This kind of ball that is bound to be scored but saved by the goalkeeper is a cruel feeling for a shooter! It's extremely unpleasant!

Speaking of which. So far in this game, it has even evolved into a scene of Lehmann resisting the attack of the Portuguese team alone. This German man, Lehmann, became a lone hero in Germany...... This is not a sad feeling for Germany as the world champion at this time.

It should be a corner for Portugal. However, referee Rossetti blew the whistle at the end of the 90 minutes without waiting for the Portuguese player to take a corner kick -

Full time ended, Portugal 1:1 Germany! After 90 minutes of play, the two sides did not decide the winner, and the game will go into 30 minutes of extra time, if there is still no winner in extra time, it will be a brutal penalty shootout.

"That's it! The ninety-minute game is over! After a short break, we will enter the first half of extra time in this European Cup quarter-final! Good luck Portugal! Lineker said. In the commentary of this game, he was a little dry-mouthed.

Scolari patted the shoulders of every player who walked off the field, and the Portuguese team doctor, assistant coaches, and even the players on the bench came over to give water to the players who still needed to fight on the pitch to drink, pinch their shoulders, press their legs, and relax.

Especially the players on the bench. They watched thrilling off the field, they were terrified to watch, and they wanted to play, but they couldn't. Now you can only use this action to show support and encouragement to your teammates!

At the moment, Scolari still has two substitutions in his hands. In fact, there were two substitutions in the hands of German head coach Loew.

The two managers are likely to play extra time. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, and they have two substitutions in their hands. Just in case.

Portugal substitution, Meireles came off the bench, he replaced Moutinho, Moutinho's table today is passable, he did not give the German too many chances in defense, however, in attack, Moutinho did not show his excellent side of assists.

At the same time, the German team also made substitutions, Fritz came off the bench, he replaced Schweinsteiger in this game, and there was no good way to solve the breakthrough of Jonker.

In that case, in the hands of Scolari and Loew, there is still one substitution left for each.

The camera also gave the two head coaches on the sidelines, this game is a battle between the players on the field, why not the head coach's fighting style......

Extra-time began quickly.

As soon as they came up, the German team had a good chance.

Rolfes had a long-range shot from about 30 yards from goal, and suddenly got up and fired a shot from distance, but the power was so great that Ricardo didn't dare to hold the ball and could only fall to the ground and stretch his leg to block the ball.

Klose got the ball in the box and he adjusted the ball from his left foot to his familiar right foot, which was a follow-up shot against an empty goal! Klose opened his arms and seemed ready to celebrate the goal!

And the German fans were just about to start cheering when someone came to stir up their fun......

"Carvalho!!" Lineker stood up and shouted.

Carvalho suddenly appeared in front of goal and made a beautiful leg to block the ball from the German corner.

Borowski took the corner and Klose leapt high in the box to head the ball over the bar.

The Portuguese fans at St. Jacob's Park immediately entertained Carvalho with their freshly baked song -

"We have a tall defender whose name is Carvalho, oh oh! With him, we are very relieved! ”

The Germans were still frustrated by what a great chance they had just now, and when they couldn't score, Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo quickly got the ball from the caddie and drove the ball forward with a big foot.

Deco battled Rolfes for a header in the front court, and Deco jumped as hard as he could, half a head above Rolfes.

"Jonker!" With a flick of the header, Deco swung the ball to Jonker, who was plugged in from the side.

Jonk pads his knee and the ball flies forward, and he himself sped up to chase after it.

Fritz replaced Schweinsteiger on the field, and his main task was to defend Jonker, who immediately ran after him.

However, Jonk did not give Fritz a chance to get close to him, and in the midst of the high-speed run, Jonk pushed the ball forward with his forehead and then swung his right hand. Squeezed Fritz behind him, and then sped up on his own. Catch up with the soccer ball and pat the chest. Dribble the ball at high speed and run towards the penalty area!

Fritz originally thought that he had caught up with Jonck, and as soon as he was happy, he was about to stretch out his feet to intercept, but he didn't expect to be squeezed behind by Jonck, and an acceleration passed, and Fritz wanted to speed up to chase again, but his feet slipped and he slipped and fell to the ground. Desperately, he watched as Jonk walked away.

Rumble! The Portuguese fans erupted in huge cheers, and quite a few people were already on their feet!

They were expecting Jonker's outburst, the rest of his goals, and now, Jonk is the hope of the Portuguese, who have consciously or unconsciously seen Jonk as their savior!!

Now, it was Mertesacker who rushed up, and he made a quick tackle. I want to complete the tackle!

Jonk just flicked the ball and passed over Mertesacker.

When he landed, Jonker was unsteady on his feet and stumbled a little. Metzelder saw the opportunity to break the ball and immediately rushed out of the box.

At this time, no one saw it. A look of excitement flashed in Jonker's eyes, an expression of extreme ecstasy. Jonk staggered and stabbed the ball forward...... At the same time shouted, "Nani." Over to you!! ”

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Jonk just now, even the German defenders thought that Jonk would continue to pass and complete the fatal blow, and when he heard Jonk stab the football out with a shout, Metzelder turned his head to look in shock, but saw Nani plugged in at high speed and got the ball!!

Single-handed!!

Nani was silently thinking in his heart when Jonk was rushing forward with the ball, he was preparing, he didn't know if Jonk would choose to go it alone, whether he would pass the ball, but, as a shooter, he had to be ready, even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, he would never give up!!

Hear Jonker's voice, "Nani, over to you!" ”

Nani's heart was excited, not only for Jonker's pass, but also for the desire to score, flooding his chest, the pleasure of the sword sealing his throat, burning all the blood!!

"Thank you, Jonker!"

Friedrich was originally following Nani, he wanted to stretch out his foot just now, but he was afraid of taking a penalty, his hesitation, Nani was able to speed up, he looked at Nani's back in pain, a look of despair and pain.

Lyman has already attacked, and he is yelling and attacking!

He has been guarding Germany for almost more than a hundred minutes, and this time, will this man named Lyman still succeed?!!

The answer is born in a second!

Nani volleys into the far corner! This time, Lyman finally couldn't do anything!

Seeing the football spinning in the net, Nani felt like he was going crazy, he excitedly pounced on Jonker, who was standing there with his hands on his hips and panting and laughing, and yelled and laughed Jonk, hugged him, and then the other Portuguese players, surrounded the two......

What a spectacular scene!!

Nani volleys into the far corner!

Everyone yelled like crazy!

“Goooooooooooooal!! The ball is in!! Nani has scored! He scored! Great goal! A goal that is more valuable than a diamond! Thanks to Jonker for the pass and the effort he made before! 2:1! Portugal will exceed the score again! It's the 104th minute of the game, Portugal 2:1 Germany! Lineker shouted excitedly.

The entire St. Jakobs Park Stadium is half boiling erupting lava and half dead silence.

While the Portuguese fans cheered and screamed wildly to celebrate the goal, the German fans were somewhat silent.

This blow is too heavy, the goal conceded in extra time is undoubtedly the deadliest, which is a great blow to the morale of the players, and at this time the physical consumption of the players is extremely high, and it is undoubtedly quite difficult to score......

At this moment, in the large and small taverns in Portugal, people are nervously gathered around to watch the game, just now when Jonk began to break through with the ball, even the most alcoholic fans raised their glasses in their hands, stared at the TV screen, and their eyes did not blink.

When Nani received a pass from Jonker and volleyed into the far corner to put the score over again, everyone jumped to their feet.

"Hooray!!"

"Cheers! For Portugal!! ”

"Cheers, for Nani's goal!!"

"Cheers, for Jonker's assist!"

The sound of clinking glasses and the frantic cacophony of the scene coming from St. Jacob's Park on the television. This is simply the happiest moment for the fans. Of course, if you can go to the stadium to watch the game. That must have felt better.

Scolari was stumbling when Jonk suddenly made a blast of the through ball. Jumped up from his seat and was ready to cheer for the goal!

When Nani singled the ball, Scolari shouted, "Score!" Goal! If you don't want to be a bench again, just score!! This made the old man look more like a psychic.

When Nani volleyed into the far corner, the ball went into the net between the hands of Lehmann, who fell to the ground.

Scolari just threw his arms up and cheered like a fanatical fan, right now. In him, there is no trace of a manager's calm posture.

"Well done! Lads!! ”

2:1!

Portugal once again put the score out of the way!!

At this time, the commentators of some neutral countries were worried about the fate of Germany: "Portugal has scored!" Jonker's breakthrough and split the ball were the key to this goal, Nani looked calm in the face of Lehmann again, and the goal was wonderful, the score was 1:2 Portugal!! This score will definitely make the German fans panic, and the goal behind makes Germany have to attack with all their might. ”

"That's right, just now Fritz replaced Schweinsteiger. Clearly reinforcing the defence, Loew looked to be looking to hold on for a 1-1 draw and take the game to penalties, although Germany's penalty record was not great. But it's a little better than Portugal, maybe that's where Loew's confidence lies, alas. This conceded goal made Germany have to press out to attack again! Right now. Loew has one more substitution on his hand, and it's up to him to adjust. ”

Lineker is still cheering on Portugal's goal. However, the object of his praise now has shifted from Nani who scored the goal and Jonk who assisted, to Scolari who replaced Nani, "Scolari's substitution is fantastic, I have to say, he did a good job! praised Scolari, Lineker did not forget to sarcastically mock German coach Loew, "Just now replaced Fritz, Germany is for defense, now, I don't know who Mr. Loew will replace, who will be replaced to strengthen the attack?" ”

At this time, it was already the second half of extra time, Germany was making substitutions, and Gomez stood on the sidelines.

I saw that on the electronic signage of substitution in the fourth official's hand, it was Ram who was replaced by Gomez!

Rahm ran quickly towards the sidelines, tired but still fighting for Germany even a few seconds.

Now, Podolski, Klose, Gomez, the three goalscorers are on the pitch, this is - Germany is going to play three strikers!!

Germany have adopted a three-striker, which is going to attack with all their might.

This is exactly what Scolari is worried about, the high-pitch striker tactic is Germany's strength, in the face of Germany who are bent on high-altitude bombing, no team will have too many options, only to defend their positions, however, in Scolari's view, if Portugal can seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to score another goal.

Of course, the first thing Portugal should pay attention to is not to concede a goal!

With 108 minutes played, Portugal also made a substitution.

Postiga came off the bench in place of Deco, who was already out of action.

The Portuguese fans at St. Jacob's Park gave Deco a round of applause, and Deco's table today, especially after the start of the second half, was good, and deserved it.

In this way, it was noticed that Portugal's formation had changed, with Meireles dropping back and forming a double midfield with Postiga, and Jonker's position also dropping back slightly: "Now, Portugal's formation, more precisely, should be 4-4-1-1, Jonker's position is retreating, Nani is rushing forward, appearing in the single striker position, which is to use Nani's speed to play counterattack. Of course, Jonker wasn't slow.

In the 109th minute, the Germans had their most threatening attack since the start of extra time.

Lehmann threw the ball to attack, Friedrich drove the ball forward, Borowski headed the ball, Rolfes chested the ball and plugged it through, Podolski's lateral run pulled Pepe's defense, but surprisingly did not receive the ball, but suddenly paused and let the ball roll forward.

Podolsky's fake run deceived Pepe. He didn't notice the sudden insertion of Gomez, who burst into the box after winning the ball. and Carvalho directly PK, Gomez did not choose a strong burst. He pulled the ball sideways, dodged the angle of the shot, and fired it directly into the far corner.

There was nothing Ricardo could do about the shot, and the German fans were ready to cheer for the goal, only to be pushed away by Postiga on the goal line.

The German fans burst into applause and cheers for substitute Gomez's performance, applauding his brilliant shot.

The Portuguese fans, on the other hand, gave a round of applause to Postiga to thank him for the most crucial moment. Appeared in the most deserved position.

Loew couldn't sit still for a long time, he walked around the box, and when he saw Gomez's shot block the ball on the goal line, the German coach helplessly spread his arms and shook his hands.

It was Germany's best chance of the time, and after that near-goal, the Germans began to attack with some tragedy.

However, Portugal, which led 2:1, became more and more relaxed the more they played. There was no collapse of the Portuguese's defence that Germany had come to expect, thanks to a breakthrough from Jonk and, of course, it was Nani's calm shot in the end. Putting the score in the back of the pack again, otherwise, Portugal would definitely not be what it is now.

Except for Gomez's shot. Portugal's defence was almost flawless, which impressed the Germans, who were known for their tenacity. Could it be that the Portuguese are possessed by the souls of us Germans?

"Germany is still on the offensive, but it doesn't have a good chance. Scolari's Portugal team, at this moment, showed a more solid defense than the Germans, Portugal's chance was that the whole team returned to defense, and even Jonk just returned to his own penalty area to block Rolfes's long-range shot...... The Portuguese are just five minutes away from reaching the last four of the European Championship for the first time in four years! The last time they reached the semi-finals of a European Championship was in Portugal in 2004, when they performed miracles for the Greeks in the final. I have to say that Portugal's table in this European Championship surprised us. ”

"Haha, wait until the game is over to evaluate this game, don't underestimate the tenacity of the Germans, in my opinion, in Europe, only the Italians can do better than them in this regard!"

'I don't think so, I think the Germans are getting less and less hopeful as time goes on, they didn't qualify for the group stage of the last European Championship, and it's a shame to lose again in this tournament, because they're world champions.

Local Swiss commentators and special guests laughed.

For Germany or Portugal, the Swiss, like many neutral fans, don't have too many tendencies, anyway, as long as the game is played well and looks good, even if it is a penalty shootout at the end, there is nothing, and the fans enjoy watching the good game. They don't have the same amount of pressure and burden as the German fans or the Portuguese fans.

As the game wore on, disappointment and even despair spread among the German fans in the stands...... Everyone understands that time is running out.

However, the German players on the field are still struggling desperately, they are redeeming themselves, to be honest, although they have entered the quarterfinals, but look at Germany's three games in the group stage - the first game 0:2 Poland, the second game was defeated by Croatia 2:1 to give up the first place in the group, and the last group game, won the host Austrian team 1:0, which is thrilling to qualify, it can be said that this report card is a bit unreasonable for the identity of the three-time world champion, and this game, If you lose to Portugal, which the Germans have always looked down on, and are eliminated by Portugal, the bitterness and loss in the hearts of the Germans can be imagined!!

Scolari stood on the sidelines, shouting at the players from time to time: "Keep up! Don't stick to it!! Don't give your opponent a chance! If you really can't do it, you will foul! Foul if necessary! Don't be afraid of them! What about the world champions?!! Our victory is in sight!! ”

His arms are thrown high and imposing, like a conductor of a great orchestra!!

Thanks to the development of media technology, Scolari's words, through guò electromagnetic waves, were heard by many fans in front of the TV, and people lamented that this crazy old man really lived up to his name, and at the same time, they did have respect for him and his team.

Time is passing from the big screen minute by minute, everyone can see the current time as soon as they look up, every second and every minute passing, making the German players more and more nervous, more and more desperate, their actions on the field, affected by psychological factors, mistakes have begun to increase. (To be continued......)
