326th Captain's Lead
'Portugal are in a difficult situation, which was expected before the game, but it was still disappointing. Lineker said: "There was a lot of pressure at the back, but the most disappointing thing was the midfield, and Veloso was disappointing today. ”
Regarding Jonker's performance in the game, Lineker's evaluation is: decent, Jonker himself was surrounded by the Brazilian team in the frontcourt. However, as the captain of Portugal today, such a table is not enough.
Taibbi bluntly cheered for Jonker, "On the pitch today, the level of the other players in the Portuguese team is at least one notch worse than Jonker. This makes it difficult for Jonker, but, dear Jonk, isn't this the moment when you save Portugal? Let everyone see what you're made of and terrify them, Captain! ”
At this time, on the domestic forum, the posts of fans can best interpret everyone's voices.
Jonk, explode! Microcosm! Portugal needs you to save!
For the Portuguese team's cousin, Jonker is naturally also very anxious, he is the team's captain on the field. However, Jonker also knows that at this time, any shouting and cheering effect will not be very effective, and there is only one way to boost morale, and that is to score!
One goal is enough!
Portugal's attack.
In the 31st minute, Amorim began his most brilliant performance since the start of the game today, when he dribbled the ball from the wing and broke past Melo and Gilberto. Silva's interception gave a glimpse of Amoriem's style in the Portuguese Super League, and then Amorim passed the football into the penalty area. Jonker's header was met by Brazil goalkeeper Cesar with a brilliant save. Portugal's first corner kick after the start of the game.
Veloso was standing at the corner and he took the corner into the box. Postiga nodded in front of the goal, but it was deflected. Despite this, the Portuguese commentator praised Postiga twice, and it was the first real shot of the game after all.
Brazil then slotted into the Portugal penalty area, and after Kaka's long-range shot was blocked by Brown, McCone followed suit, and the ball hit the post right onto the post, making a muffled sound and rolling back in front of goal. Neto then scrambled the ball forward with a big kick, and Veloso battled for the top, he and Melo jumped at the same time, and the back of Barry's head hit the ball.
As if in the air, Veloso rubbed the ball to Merreles, who was picking up in the middle.
Meireles passed the ball to Ammorim who was following up.
Ammorim had planned to dribble along the flanks at high speed after receiving the ball, which was the black player's forte, and Amorim's breakthrough just now gave him confidence, but he was soon intercepted by two Brazilian players, and he couldn't get rid of it.
The media has commented on Dunga's Brazil team. The Clarion in Brazil teased that they don't know what the attacking ability of Dunga's team is, but. Brazil's defence is increasingly European in style.
Although this sentence is a joke, it can also be seen that the Brazilian team's defense is really good right now.
Amorim's breakthrough got bogged down. Jonk ran out of the box to answer, "Reuben! Over here! Jonk shouted.
Amorim immediately passed the ball out. Jonk catches the ball. I saw that his left foot was facing the football, and his right foot was the axis. As soon as you pull the trend, you will control the football at your feet.
After Jonker received the ball, he broke diagonally, and Jonk was so fast with the ball that he was almost unstoppable, if the opponent didn't foul him, of course...... Brazilian midfielder Melo's tackle sent Jonk straight to the ground and the ball was cut off.
Jonker looked in pain after the fall, and instead of standing up, he lay on the ground, but referee Yuichi Nishimura signaled for the game to continue, without saying anything about the 'suspected' foul.
This immediately caused a huge boo in the stands of the Khalifa Stadium, and the vast majority of fans were coming for Jonker for today's game. They came to see Jonker's performance and goals, but unfortunately, Jonker's table was very average before, and Jonker was brought down by Melo's rough foul as soon as his watch improved.
Portugal manager Queiroz looked furious on the sidelines, shouting angrily and clearly unhappy with the decision.
However, referee Yuichi Nishimura did not pay attention to it and did not stop the game.
The Brazilian team is still attacking, after receiving the pass, Kaka dribbled the ball at high speed, shook continuously, dribbled past a number of Portuguese players, shook out of the gap in the shot, and shot directly with his feet.
The shot was of high quality and almost grazed the crossbar.
Seeing that the football did not score, Kaka jumped to his feet regretfully.
At this time, on the sidelines, the head coach of the Portuguese team, Queiroz, roared angrily at the referee Yuichi Nishimura, pointed to Jonker, who was still sitting on the court, and shouted, "That's a foul!" Don't you see? Our people are still on the ground! That's a foul! ”
Yuichi Nishimura, the referee from the island country, faced Queiroz's loud reprimand, smiled and talked to Queiroz to soothe him. Seeing this scene, Portuguese commentator Lineker also smiled, "If this is not a warm-up game, or if there is a European referee, Queiroz may be sent to the stands with a red card for 'roaring referee'."
Jonk went to the field for treatment, his problem is not big, it will not affect the game, Jonk grinned, this is a hard injury, the main thing is that it hurts badly, and it will get better after a while.
After receiving treatment from the Portuguese team doctor, Jonker returned to the pitch.
Seeing Jonker return to the stadium to continue the game, and Queiroz had no intention of replacing Jonk, the fans at the Khalifa Stadium breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jonk a round of applause.
No one expected that after Jonk was shoveled by Melo, he would return to the court so violently, making the cheers of the Khalifa Stadium wave after wave, and the momentum was shocking.
Jonker first received a pass from Mereles, he stepped on the ball on the spot, pulled and flicked, and got rid of Elano's top scramble, and then, in the face of the fierce Melo pressing, Jonk dribbled several times in a row, and suddenly picked the ball up with a light touch on his toes. As Melo pounced, Jonker suddenly pivoted with his left foot. Half turned to keep Melo behind him and pulled the ball with his right foot. Before Melo could react, he began to run forward, and Melo tried to hold Jonker, but he slipped and fell to the ground because of his haste and unstable center of gravity.
However, then everyone saw that there was no football at Jonker's feet.
What about balls?
Mereles was running wildly with the ball, and after receiving a very hidden pass from Jonker, he began to break through with the ball along the left side before everyone could react!
Mereles burst forward with the ball on one side. While observing Jonker's running, just when he was about to pass the football into the penalty area, McCone came up, McCone made a direct tackle, Meireles fell to the ground, and the football was also shoveled aside, but it fell to the feet of Veloso, who did not hesitate at all, and immediately got up and passed the football into the penalty area.
Originally, the referee Yuichi Nishimura was ready to blow for a foul on McConn. Seeing Veloso's pass, he immediately signaled that the attack was in favor, and the game continued.
The quality of Veloso's pass was not good, because he didn't time his pass well. Jonk had his back to the goal, and he was flanked by Thiago, who was following him like a bodyguard. Silva, in today's game. Thiago. Silva was excellent at defending against Jonker. Overall, it was very successful.
So. At this moment, Jonker, with his back to the goal, faced Thiago. Silva's defense, if you want to shoot directly, it's very difficult.
"What should I do?"
Of course Jonker knew that if he stopped the ball and wanted to turn around and shoot again, it wouldn't be possible, Thiago. Silva is very capable and will definitely disrupt the football before Jonker can finish his shot at the first time.
Sure enough, Thiago. Silva immediately lifted his foot and tried to stab the ball in the air before Jonk could stop the ball. At the same time, Thiago. Silva also wanted to move his position, even if he couldn't stab the football, to block Jonck's path.
The camera has also been following Jonker, in fact, in today's broadcast, there are at least three cameras that have been following Jonker like this, which is already the practice of Jonk's game, so that fans can enjoy Jonk's performance and goals for the first time, but unfortunately, Jonk did not satisfy the fans in the previous table today, and the camera is temporarily 'doing useless work'.
This time, the fans were not disappointed, they waited for almost 40 minutes for the high and low of the game so far to finally arrive.
Jonk moved half a position, which allowed him to take Thiago just right. Silva squeezed behind him, and then Jonk lifted his right foot, and he cushioned the ball with his heel, which was from Thiago. Silva skimmed to the left and at the same time, in Thiago. Before Silva could react, the next moment, Jonk quickly made a ninety-degree turn, just in time to turn Thiago. Silvaka was behind him, and the ball fell at the right time.
At this time, Thiago. Silva's good defensive awareness and excellent physique allowed him to adjust quickly and was about to volley the ball from behind Jonker, but Jonk did not give Thiago. Silva's chance, his movements were extremely consistent, padding the ball with his knees while leaning back and leaning on Thiago. Silva, with his whole body in the air, kicked the goal in a frantic motion, and slammed it on the football, which flew towards the goal as if it had been hit by a cannonball.
After saying a word, in fact, these actions, in the blink of an eye, completed this artistically enjoyable and violent sense of power shot. It's hard to put into words what it was like a fantastic goal.
In the face of this crazy shot, even Cesar, who has been considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world by the media, did not have time to react at all, he only felt a white light pass by. Cesar turned his head to look into the goal, and saw the football hanging into the net with great force, carrying the snow-white net into a large bag.
The ball is in!!
“Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal!!!!”
In the high-pitched roar of the narrator, in the camera, Jonk raised his right arm and roared, and the captain's armband on his arm was like a proud flag!
“Goal! Genius goal! ”
"Brilliant goal! From Jonk! Portugal has scored! The score was equalized! It's amazing, it's a beautiful ball. ”
Seeing the football go into the net, Jonk got up from the ground, and his long-suppressed love finally broke out.
He ran all the way to the sidelines, his fists clenched and he let out a loud roar. The whole facial expression was distorted by being too excited.
"It's so beautiful! He seized all the opportunities that weren't chances, and hit them! This is Jonker. Cesar didn't have to be too frustrated. The responsibility for conceding the goal is not his, it can only be said. The goal was so beautiful! Lineker exclaimed excitedly, it was a pleasure to see a goal like this. Portugal's ability to score this goal in a completely passive situation is a great encouragement for the whole team.
"Hooray! Jonker! He is a well-deserved hero! We said Portugal needed heroes, and he stepped up! Taibbi stood up, fist waving and shouting, he was a fan of Jonker, and now was the happiest moment for him.
41st minute of the first half. Portugal equalised.
Queiroz also stood up, applauded vigorously, and applauded Jonker's goal, which was beautiful, and this goal showed Jonker's versatility as a goalscorer and his superb marksmanship. It's the kind of goal that only a shooter with a desperate hunger for victory and a goal can score.
A shooter with a heart that desires to score goals and win moments is the most terrifying!
The game continued. Brazil quickly recovered from the goal conceded, which in Brazil's eyes could only be described as an accident, and Jonker was too powerful. It's a reflection of Jonker's personal abilities. In the eyes of the Brazilian players, Brazil's win over Portugal should not be a big problem, let alone today's game. The Portuguese team is almost a second-tier lineup, in the eyes of the Brazilian players. There was no one else but Jonk.
Brazil quickly came out of the equaliser. Continue to intensify the offensive. However, Jonker's goal greatly boosted the morale of the Portuguese team, and the Brazilian team did not have a good solution for a while.
However, the Brazilian players also ignored one point, although the Portuguese team is a second-tier lineup, but there is a battle that cannot be ignored**, you know, next year is the World Cup in South Africa, the main lineup in Queiroz's heart should have been decided, however, the substitute lineup is still not determined, everyone wants to get a ticket to South Africa, then, in this limited warm-up game, is undoubtedly the best opportunity to impress Queiroz.
It's just that in the previous game, the Brazilian team's offensive was too aggressive, Portugal was completely passive on the field, and the leading players were also 'more than willing but not enough', and now, after Jonk scored a goal to equalize the score, the players were greatly encouraged, and after stabilizing their position, they also began to have a good performance.
And for Jonke, this also shows the role of he, the captain, in stabilizing the morale and boosting morale at the critical moment.
In the 44th minute of the game, the Brazilian team attacked.
Gilberto. Silva crossed the ball high, and after Melo chested the ball, he was about to turn around and was knocked down from behind by Meireles. Melo, who got up from the ground, yelled at Mereles, who probably paid too much attention to the table of this game, and he knew that this game was very important for his impression of whether he could go to South Africa, so in the face of Melo's provocation, Merreles chose to endure. This seemed to make Melo even more aggressive, and he tried to get up and get in on Merreles, but Jonk was stopped sideways.
Jonk glared at Melo fiercely, and the latter responded unceremoniously, Jonk ignored Merlo's 'villain', but turned to the referee Nishimura Yuichi to complain, "Mr. Referee, you have also seen that my teammates' attitude is to respect you, but this does not mean that they are easy to bully." ”
Yuichi Nishimura was also apparently angered by Melo's actions, showing her a yellow card and verbally warning Melo.
This made the Brazilian coach Dunga angry, and he roared at the referee Yuichi Nishimura why it was the Portuguese who committed the foul and the Brazilian who took the card.
Nishimura Yuichi did not give Dunga politeness this time, he showed a yellow card to the head coach of the Brazilian team, Dunga scolded himself, and the assistant coach of the Brazilian team, who saw Nishimura Yuichi's unkind eyes, quickly pulled Dunga away, he was afraid that Dunga would receive a yellow card again and be sent off with a red card.
Brazil's free kick, Kaka's direct shot, was blocked by the wall, Elano chested the ball and picked the ball to Robinho, who took two steps and stuffed the ball straight to Gilberto. Silva took advantage of the situation to lead the football over, pulled horizontally, and directly was a long-range shot about 21 meters away from the goal, the power of this shot was huge, so the ball speed was also very fast, fortunately, Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo was very focused, he fell to the ground and pounced sideways, saving the football from the bottom line.
This shot and one save. Between the lightning and flint, the offense and defense were completed. Exceptionally wonderful.
Corner kick by Brazil.
"For the current Brazilian team, it is very good to have a good match with Fabiano and Thiago. Silva and Lucio who is 191cm tall. So, set-pieces are also Brazil's chances to score. Will there be a goal from Brazil's corner? The first half is coming to an end and the goal at this time is very important for the trend of the whole game. ”
The camera also focused on Brazilian centre-back Thiago, who was about to scramble for a header in the Brazilian penalty area. Silva, in the previous Serie A competition, the AC Milan centre-back had scored a wonderful header, and in this game, Thiago. Silva's table is still very good. He has successfully defended Jonk most of the time, and as for Jonker's goal, no one would think it was Thiago. Silva's main responsibility can only be said to be that Jonker is too powerful.
Now, this corner, Thiago. Silva also took the initiative to go up for a header.
Kaka took a corner kick from the right and found Fabiano in the box, who jumped. He battled with Almeida, who defended him, and neither of them touched the ball to grab Thiago in second place. Silva leaps high and heads the ball. It was a bouncing globe and it should be said that the table of Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo was already great, he fell to the ground and pounced on the football. However, football is not out of the danger zone. Robinho fired a tackle that was not something Ricardo could stop.
The football hit Ricardo in the back. Bounce into the net.
2:1!
"Brazil scored again! Robinho's goal! His goal helped Brazil to take the lead again! It looks like Robinho was excited, he did a lullaby on the sidelines, who is this for? Could it be that his girlfriend is pregnant? It's something to celebrate. The Brazilian commentator said with a smile.
The Khalifa Stadium erupted in cheers, and for the fans, they came to see Jonker play, to watch Portugal and Brazil face off at the top, and the more goals scored, the better the game.
At the end of the first half, the score did not change again.
In the south locker room of the Khalifa Stadium, the atmosphere was dreary.
Queiroz does not speak, no one dares to speak. Even Jonker, who scored a wonderful goal in the first half, seemed a little silent, he scored a wonderful goal, but for Jonk, it was not enough to make him happy. He's now Portugal's on-field captain, the team is down and Jonker feels like he's not doing well and he feels he should have done better.
Jonk won't even think about it, in today's game, most of his teammates are fringe internationals, and the overall strength of the team is not good, in Jonke's heart, there is only one thought, that is, to win this game, he thinks that only in this way can he prove that his captain is qualified.
Queiroz did not criticize the players, but he did not praise the team for being able to temporarily equalise when the score was behind, after all, the goal was more of a personal experience of Jonker's ability.
With just one sentence, Queiroz stirred up the morale of all the players, saying that the squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa had not yet been decided and that he still needed to think about it.
That's enough for the players, the World Cup, it's every player's dream. For these fringe internationals, maybe it would be good to be able to play in the World Cup once in their entire career, so they will cherish it even more and fight for a ticket to South Africa.
Jonker also looked very happy, the morale of his teammates was boosted, which was a good thing, which made Jonk more confident in the second half of the game, and what about the Brazilian team, still win him!
Moreover, Jonker intuitively felt that the Brazilian team still despised this Portuguese 'second-tier team', which gave Portugal the possibility of an upset win.
Jonk didn't guess wrong, the Brazilian team is really contemptuous of the 'Portuguese second team' coached by Jonker, in their opinion, if Ronaldo, Nani, Simao, Deco and other players are all on the field, plus the forward combination of Jonk and Gomez, the Portuguese team may still have the strength to fight with the Brazilian team, but now in the Portuguese team, in addition to Jonck, there are really no players who interest the Brazilian team, and it is no wonder that the Brazilian team will despise it.
As soon as the second half began, Portugal gave Brazil a slap in the face.
Neto's long pass from the backfield, Meireles ferried the ball to Veroso, who passed the ball, Jonker received Veloso's pass, and he broke through with the ball.
It was Melo who defended Jonker.
In the face of Melo's defense, Jonker leaned forward with his upper body and pulled the ball with his right foot at the same time, making Melo think he was going to break through from this side, but Jonk was just a dummy and flicked the football to the right with his right foot, accelerating from this side, and by the time Melo went to chase the ball, he couldn't catch up.
After shaking off Melo, Jonker continued to break through with the ball, and he attracted Bastos and Gilberto. Silva's attention was followed by a sudden cross of the ball.
Then, everyone saw it, Veloso strode to catch up with the chasing ball, did not continue to dribble the ball, and suddenly volleyed vigorously!
The long-range shot was sudden, and the Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar was completely distracted by the man in front of him, and by the time he reacted and pounced on the football, it was too late, and the ball drew a clear arc, bypassing Cesar's hands, and almost sticking to the inside of the post and into the goal!
“Gooooal!!! Veloso!! Wonderful long shot! 2:2! Portugal equalized again! It's a beautiful ball. Lineker stood up and shouted. (To be continued......)
