Chapter 128: Begin to fight back
Violante thought for a moment, then nodded, "You can try." That, Cristiano Ronaldo, Almeida, Quaresma, Viana, come here, I'll ......"
The coaching staff then devised a dedicated header tactic.
Viana and Quaresmaddo were asked to try a cross, which was basically headed by Almeida.
Almeida was the main attacker.
When Almeida was entangled with the other party, Ronaldo took the initiative to form a repetitive running position with Almeida, a double threat!
But as soon as the second half began, the Polish team changed their defensive strategy in advance.
They still set up buses, but they also sent special personnel to guard Quaresma, whom they considered to be the biggest threat.
Quaresma struggled to receive football.
Before the cross tactics were played, they were directly stillborn.
If one side doesn't work, go the other way.
But Viana also has a problem.
As a wide midfielder, Viana had to switch positions with Cristiano Ronaldo in order to execute the tactic of under-crossing the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo is fine.
But Viana is not a speed player, he eats on technique.
It was difficult for him to get underneath.
He's good at getting inside after getting down, but it's also difficult to cross after getting down.
In the end, it was Ronaldo who had the easier chance to get a cross.
In the 56th minute, Viana gave the ball to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo easily burst down and crossed smoothly.
Football is off the line.
The quality of this pass made Violante's heart pull out the cold.
In the 62nd minute, Ronaldo sent another cross.
This time it's an improvement over the previous one, and it's been passed out.
But it's still not about quality.
As early as the previous point, he was cleared out by the other party.
In the 66th minute, after Ronaldo's cross was blocked, the Polish team launched a wave of counterattacks.
In the end, Fonte took the initiative and completed a key steal.
The mentality of the players in the Portuguese team is starting to be unbalanced.
The Polish team is waiting for work and is getting better and better.
'Portugal are in trouble, they don't have a reliable crosser. Or that their crosses are limited and there is no room to play. β
"The two-striker strategy itself has a lot of changes in attack. But when the opponent completely abandons the attack and goes on the defensive, the double forward midfielder makes no sense. β
"In addition, Almeida is still a bit reluctant to fight for the header in the penalty area alone, and Ronaldo must enter the box to fight for the top together."
'Viana should do more, he has to free Cristiano Ronaldo and not keep letting Cristiano Ronaldo play crosses.
Seventy minutes.
Portugal continued to play down the left flank to no avail.
Football is back at the feet of Melelis.
Merelis noticed Deng Kai's run and suddenly slammed it in.
Deng Kai stepped forward in the right rib position, and after receiving the ball, he did not try to pass the opponent, but directly distributed the ball to Quaresma, and then continued to sprint himself into the big penalty area.
After Quaresma holds the ball on the wing, he turns on the inside cutting mode.
Almost at the same time, Deng Kai turned right from the big penalty area and ran out of the big penalty area.
Poland's defenders were thus able to focus their full attention on Quaresma, with some stealing, some filling and some blocking.
Quaresma knew it wasn't going to be a success this time around, but he saw Deng Kai go to the right after going to the bottom line and out of the penalty area.
Quaresma immediately went back.
The Polish full-back raised his hand to signal that Deng Kai was offside.
However, Deng Kai was next to the linesman, and the linesman saw it clearly.
The goal is not offside.
Bang!
Deng Kai crossed directly without adjustment.
A number of passing skills such as wide crosses, precise crosses, Tintin's consciousness passes, weighted spin passes, and low air passes are activated.
The ball was in a big arc, and after getting around the defenders in front of the post, it took a sharp turn.
Before Amelda even jumped, the ball landed on his head.
It didn't look like he was looking for a football.
It's the football that's looking for his head.
Swish!
A close-range headhammer with full attack power.
The Polish goalkeeper failed to prevent the goal from happening.
βgoalοΌ Finally a goal! β
'Almeida, who came off the bench, equalised for Portugal!'
"But 90% of the credit for this goal goes to Deng Kai, who gave the assist!"
"His crosses are fantastic! You don't even need Almeida to jump to get to the top easily. β
"Almeida doesn't need to exert much force, football itself is very sharp."
"The precision of Deng Kai's cross is reminiscent of Manchester United's number one star David Beckham, who has just won the treble."
"Even though the footwork is completely different, the effect is surprisingly similar."
"As far as we know, Beckham is very bullish on Deng Kai, and they have had a number of photos together at the Champions League award ceremony before."
When Poland were ahead, there was no hope of Portugal winning.
But when the score is 1-1, Portugal is already in control.
Because of the draw, Poland is destined to be eliminated.
Even if he is lucky enough to finish second, a mere four points will not be able to become the two best runners-up and qualify with this result.
Poland had to be attacked.
Seventy-fourth minute.
Something clearly went wrong with the squatting of the Poles.
Deng Kai repeated his old trick and inserted in front of the ribs, directly disrupting the defensive layout of the Polish team on the right side.
Portugal's right-back Bosingwa went down with ease to get a cross.
Poland had to give Portugal a corner.
The Portuguese team's offensive storm began.
Eighty-first minute.
Cristiano Ronaldo made successive breakthroughs on the left flank, but because he couldn't find a shot on goal, he could only pass back to Viana.
Everyone thought that Viana was going to dribble and shoot, but Viana had a good view of the overall situation, and directly completed the transfer in an instant, giving the football to the feet of Deng Kai, who had completed the switch with Quaresma on the right side.
A feint from Deng Kai's cross sent the Polish left-back flying.
Then Deng Kai hit the ball with his left foot and hit the penalty area.
In the face of the defender, Deng Kai touched the ball with his left foot continuously, and finally found the loophole in the opponent's retreating pace, and flicked the football between the opponent's legs to complete a crotch pass.
"Here!" Quaresma stepped forward into the box to ask for the ball.
As long as the football is given to him, he is very threatening whether he plays the near corner from a small angle or the far corner of the outside instep.
The Polish centre-back immediately moved towards Quaresma.
But they haven't even fully stepped out of their legs, they've just finished shifting their center of gravity.
The football flew out.
He was 108,000 miles away from Quaresma.
Pick the back point!
"Cristiano Ronaldo! Ronaldo suddenly started in the big penalty area and stepped forward to grab the point! β
"Unguarded! Ronaldo jumped high, but there were no defenders! β
"The ball is in!"
"Two to one! Portugal reversed the score and took the lead! β
"Another header!"
"Poland's number two had a chance to stop Cristiano Ronaldo, but Almeida stuck him! Almeida made a beautiful block for Cristiano Ronaldo. β
"But I have to say that the goal was not as good as the pass. Deng Kai's provocative biography is full of spirituality, and he is under great pressure. β
