Chapter 133: The Founder Is Often Not the Reaper

'Portugal are in trouble now, and after losing the high point, they don't attack anymore.

'The midfield of both sides is evenly matched, and the Dutch players are more aggressive defensively, which also makes it more difficult for Portugal to link up on the ground.

'Now the two sides are back on the same page, but the Dutch team is clearly better.'

'Violante has to make adjustments to the Portuguese team. There is still a big gap between the substitute Lorenzo and the main players in terms of ability, and the Portuguese team needs a fulcrum in the frontcourt. ”

The commentary's evaluation is very pertinent.

In fact, in the dressing room of the Portuguese team, Violante is also analysing the problem of the team's front court.

Eventually, Violante decided to take the plunge.

As soon as the second half began, the major commentators were stunned.

"Oh! Portugal made another substitution at half-time. ”

"Lourenço, who had come off the bench, was replaced by his team-mate Veloso at the club. Use a midfielder for a centre-forward! ”

'Cristiano Ronaldo moved to a central striker position, he's not a central striker, but he's played one or two central strikers at the club and it's said to have worked well.

"He doesn't have the fulcrum and height of Almeida, but he has more impact and shots. If Portugal play from behind, Ronaldo could indeed cause problems for the Netherlands. ”

'Viana went to the left winger. It was a test for the Dutch team's right-back, as Viana's technical characteristics were very different from those of Cristiano Ronaldo before him, which required defenders to switch defensive modes. ”

'Merellas went to the left midfield and Veloso played in the back position that Merreles had before.

'Overall, the Portuguese defence has improved.

"But on the offensive end, although the configuration doesn't look bad and the personnel changes are not big, a lot of people are in new positions, and I don't know if they can make a new spark."

Forty-ninth minute.

Viana sent a diagonal ball directly down the wing.

Cristiano Ronaldo was entangled by Heitinga, which eventually led to the football rolling off the line.

Fifty-fifth minute.

Merelis passes the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who is holding the ball with his back to him, and is stabbed off by the opponent in the process of turning.

His ability to carry the ball with his back needs to be improved.

Sixty-second minute.

The Dutch team began to struggle.

Robben relied on his individual ability to create a touchline ball on the wing.

After the touchline ball was played, Van der Vaart played a pass back to Sneijder, who everyone thought would divert the ball to the other side and then penetrate the ground.

Who knew that Sneijder hoisted the football directly into the penalty area.

This is a very challenging overhead straight stopper.

Portugal's formation at this time has been compressed, and the distance between the back line and the goalkeeper is not large.

If you pass the ball a little more, it will be held by the goalkeeper.

Pass a little less and it's in the defensive range of the centre-backs.

But Sneijder was able to get the pass stuck in that awkward spot.

Van Persie had an idea, and the fish jumped to the top.

Thankfully, Portuguese centre-back Fonte was focused and risked a kick to Robin van Persie's head to get the ball out first.

Van Persie hesitated at the end and shrank his head.

Otherwise, he should have been the first to touch the football.

It can't be said that Van Persie is not brave, he is already brave when he can use the action of fish jumping.

But many times, when you have the courage to face the difficulties, you will find that you have not prepared enough.

For fear of kicking Van Persie's head, Font cleared the siege this time and the football flew out of the penalty area, but not far.

Sneijder, who had just finished his hoist, was here.

He volleyed and the ball went and came back.

It was a world-class goal!

“goal! Ned! Dutch midfielder twin Sneijder has scored! ”

"The Dutch team has officially overtaken the Portuguese team!"

"They've really got their revenge!"

"Sneijder has won back everything they lost in the Youth Champions League for himself, Van der Vaart, Robben and Robin van Persie!"

"The Avengers don't need respect from handouts, they will use their goals to earn respect!"

"Deng Kai! Are you ready to accept defeat! ”

The Dutch fans cheered wildly.

This game is too depressing.

Dare to mock them for being a bunch of losers?

What now?

Who are the losers?

Hathaway in the stands frowned.

At this moment, she gained a deeper understanding of football.

It's not playing football at all.

It's a war!

A war that cannot be lost!

And Deng Kai's current situation does not seem optimistic.

He's about to lose the war.

The goal sent Ronaldo into a state of agitation.

Sixty-fifth minute.

Deng Kai sent a straight pass.

But Ronaldo started early and was offside.

The chemistry of the Sporting Lisbon twin stars has been weakened by Ronaldo's mentality.

In the 68th minute, Van der Vaart took a free kick in front.

His free-kick was of high quality and hit the woodwork, but Portugal goalkeeper Vallai kept his team's hopes alive and denied the shot.

In the 74th minute, Van der Vaart, who was still shining, made a corner.

After the corner, Merrelis saw through Van der Vaart's intention to take the corner and headed it away.

The attacks on both sides came and went, and neither of them took the absolute initiative.

Anyone has a chance.

Eighty minutes.

Viana dribbled on the wing to attract the defender and played a long pass to Quaresma on the other side.

Quaresma collided with Deng Kai on the right flank and went to the bottom line to enter the penalty area.

The Portuguese fans instantly became nervous and cheered Quaresma on their voices.

Quaresma got past the snatcher with a croquette in the box and then delivered a scathing sweep.

The superstar ability is vividly displayed at this moment.

This is a threat created by Quaresma in his own right.

Because the ball was so fast, the Dutch centre-back, who was half a step behind, couldn't touch the ball at all.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a chance to touch the football, but Heitinga took a takedown, which made Ronaldo miss the football.

Heitinga definitely fouled.

But he also stopped Ronaldo.

He admitted that he had an element of gambling, and the referee could not see all this.

Seeing that the football is about to slide through the door.

Viana, who cut inside without the ball and also entered the penalty area, fell straight to the ground and slid towards the football.

All he had in his eyes was this black and white elf.

Bang!

While!

In the broadcast footage, the football enters the net.

But the next moment, Viana slammed into the post.

He hit it sideways.

The whole person was bent in an instant, like a broken stick.

The players next to him heard Kacha's voice.

"Team doctor! Fast! Doctor! ”

The players on both sides immediately raised their hands to look at the sidelines, almost as desperately as Almeida did when he was injured, and even more urgently!

The Portuguese team doctor came on the pitch for the second time, and then quickly called for a stretcher for the second time.

Viana suffered a severe blow to his left hip and left kidney, and a fracture was initially diagnosed, but worse was not ruled out.

He's more injured than Almeida!

Viana went back injured.

Portugal equalised.

But they also lost the heart of the team's midfield as a result.

Viana was carried down with tears on her face.

On the one hand, it's because of the pain.

But on the other hand, because he knew that he would never return to this arena again.

His journey to the European Junior Championship is over.

He traded the rest of his schedule to help Portugal catch up with the Netherlands.

If there is a miracle in Portugal.

Then he is the founder of that miracle.

But the founders are often not the harvesters.

He was fifteen years old and was destined to leave some regrets.
