Chapter 288: Fatal Blow
The Greek team wanted to attack, but after being suppressed for more than 50 minutes, they seemed to be unable to find the rhythm of the attack for a while, and the attack that they had managed to organize was not close to the Portuguese penalty area, and there was a passing error.
After the wrong pass was intercepted by the Portuguese player, he immediately took advantage of the Greek team's defensive formation to move forward and played a fast attack, and quickly advanced to the edge of the Greek penalty area.
may be because he was found to have lost face and was in a hurry to perform, Deco didn't wait to get close to the penalty area after receiving the pass from the backfield, and kicked the ball directly into the stands, which was considered to help the Greek team clear the siege.
The Greeks, who had learned their lesson, immediately began to recover again, leaving only the number nine Charlisteas alone to keep the pressure on in the Portuguese half.
The situation seemed to be back on track as the pressure was relieved as Portugal attacked again in a big way, pressing towards the front of the Greek penalty area.
But the magic of football lies in its unpredictability!
When the Greek players finally broke the ball from the feet of the Portuguese team, they immediately drove forward with a big foot, hoping to take advantage of this and get a respite.
This flustered pass was ghostly passed to Chalisteas, who remained in the front court. He used his strong body to protect the ball and took advantage of the emptiness in the Portuguese backfield to start dribbling directly to the baseline.
It's a pity that there are too few people in the front of Greece, and the Greek players in the back court have not been able to keep up with the speed of Charisteas despite their best efforts. Charlisteas was forced directly on the sideline by the Portuguese defender, dribbling was not his forte, and he had no choice but to hit the opponent's foot with a cross and win a valuable corner for the Greek team.
The Greek players, who had just retreated strongly in their own half, seemed to have doped one by one, leaving only four defenders in the half, and the rest all ran inside and outside the Portuguese penalty area.
This is also the consistent tactic of the Greek team today, perhaps reminded by Lu Chong yesterday, today the Greek team cherishes every set-piece very much, and does not hesitate to invest heavily in it.
Portugal are starting to get used to this, and in fact they want the Greeks to keep playing that way so that when they take their chances, they can play a beautiful counter-attack, and with the speed and skill of Figo and Ronaldo Jr., it could be a chance to break through the opposition defence.
In such a mentality, Figo and Ronaldo Jr., including their striker Pauletta, the three tall players, did not return to the defense directly, but stayed in the front court of the Greek team, waiting for their teammates to deliver assists after the ball was broken.
Portuguese President Sampaio in the stands saw this situation, but he couldn't wait to coax the three guys back to his penalty area with a loudspeaker.
The game had reached the eleventh minute of the second half, which was the most dangerous moment that Lu Chong had mentioned, and Portugal showed signs of underestimating the enemy as he expected.
And what is going to be done now is the set-piece that Lu Chong believes is the most likely to score in Lu Chong's analysis. Combining these points, combined with Lu Chong's previous 30 consecutive correct predictions, as well as the accurate grasp of the game process in the first half, Sampaio faintly felt a chill in his heart.
Beside Sampaio, Johansson also stood up for the first time in the middle of the game, staring closely at the crowded Portuguese penalty area.
Greek President Kostis. Stefanopoulos not only stood up, but clenched his fists tightly, and at this moment he was no longer a president, but an ordinary fan of the Greek team.
According to Lu Chong's prediction just now, this corner kick is only the best chance of the Greek team, if this goal is not scored, the magical magic on Lu Chong's body will gradually fade away, which will also be a great blow to the confidence of the president.
And the two beauties beside Lu Chong each grabbed one of Lu Chong's sleeves at this time, as if they wanted to gain strength from him. Especially Niko, who was almost a little afraid to watch the pictures on the field under nervousness, seemed to want to hide behind Lu Chong, but was reluctant to blink his eyes, which was even more complicated.
Of the six people in the VIP seat, Lu Chong was the only one sitting on the seat at this time, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, and a picture of a pretending to be a B prisoner with a light cloud and a light breeze and a wisdom bead in his hand.
The director, who has been paying attention to the VIP seat, noticed the abnormal movement in the VIP seat, and took advantage of the opportunity of the players pushing each other in the penalty area to transfer the images of several people to the main screen again.
However, at this time, except for Luo Bing and Jiang Xiaoxiao in front of the TV who were angry at the picture of Lu Chong hugging left and right, almost no one else paid attention to their movements, and even Huang Jianqiang, a die-hard fan of Lu Chong, did not send them an additional explanation.
The eyes of the world's spectators were locked on the Portuguese penalty area, waiting for the result after the football was sent off.
The referee took a lot of effort to finally calm down the players on both sides who were pushing each other in the box, and then immediately exited the box, found a good position to observe, and blew the whistle to signal that the Greek team could start the penalty kick. ,""""" "Small""Say""Net"Free Reading""
Basinas, who was in charge of the penalty kick, looked up to observe the position in the penalty area, and after a short run, turned the ball under his feet into an arc into the penalty area.
The shot was a little high and the Greek and Portuguese players who jumped up from the front were unable to hit it. Just when everyone thought that the ball would pass through the penalty area, a figure in a blue and white jersey suddenly rushed forward from the top of the arc of the penalty area and jumped high in the air, like a god standing in the air.
Jumping high, his head touched the football, and the black and white elf flying at high speed was immediately redirected after making contact with the head, flying towards the Portuguese goal.
Portugal's goalkeeper Bea, who is known for his quick reflexes, reacted just as well this time by swooping sideways in the direction of the incoming ball.
However, the speed of the ball was so fast that Bea only had time to touch the ball with his fingertips, and before he could exert any force outside, the ball had already disappeared from his sight.
Baiya's heart was cold, according to the route of the football flight just now, this ball was only afraid of ......
As soon as the Greek player who hit the football just hit the ground, there was a look of ecstasy in his eyes, so that Baia didn't have to look back to know that the ball was ...... Lost!
The 64,000-seat Stadium of Light suddenly fell silent at this moment, as if a mute button had been pressed.
In the VIP seat, Lu Chong finally stood up with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the first to score a goal for Charlisteas applauded.
Well done!
