Chapter 140: Lost Point
"It's a textbook defensive counter-attack! It's so fast! β
"Deng Kai's pass, Ronaldo's run! The last one who passed the goalkeeper showed the player's big heart! β
"What the hell is going on with the German team today? How does their defense give the feeling of collapse at the touch of a button? β
"Portugal were inferior all the way, they only tested the German team twice, but the German team did not stand the test!"
"Before the game, many people said that Ronaldo could not adapt to the position of center forward, but at the moment, it seems that he has no problems at all! His impact is almost unique in this tournament! β
"He may not have enough fulcrum, but what fulcrum center does a team that defends and counterattacks need?"
The fulcrum center is essentially to make up for the lack of creativity, game-breaking ability, and pressure resistance in the midfield.
Don't have a counter-attacking style of play in the midfield, and teams with top midfielders, don't need a fulcrum center.
They need the Terminator even more!
The Portuguese team, on the other hand, falls into both cases.
Fourteenth minute.
It can be seen that the German team is a little confused, they still don't know what the problem is.
They restrained Quaresma very well.
There was hardly any threat on the right side of Portugal as a whole.
However, Deng Kai and Meireles made a continuous combination on the left flank, bringing the football past the midfield.
With left-back Ribeiro on the side, Portugal had the opportunity to cross the bottom.
However, Lahm followed Ribeiro, who couldn't find a chance in the heads-up and had to return the ball to Merreles, who in turn gave it back to Dunkai on the left rib.
Bang!
Deng Kai fired on the left rib.
Cristiano Ronaldo tries to run in the penalty area.
Everyone was focused on Deng Kai.
Because of this cross, he must have to find a centre-forward, right?
Swish!
The football does not fly high, but Deng Kai is very strong, the ball speed is very fast, and the arc is not small.
This kind of passing is not conducive to the center's header at all.
But......
"Rear point! Quaresma suddenly plugged in, unguarded at the back point! β
"Quares' non-stop ball goes straight to the outside of the instep shot! The German defensive players had just finished turning their heads at this time! β
"Nobody was able to stop Quaresma, his outside instep was too accurate, so good for a small angle!"
"Three to zero! Is the Portuguese team so strong? β
"Three goals in nine minutes! They beat their semi-final opponent Germany to Poland, who couldn't even qualify for the group stage! β
"It doesn't feel like Portugal was so easy in the last round against the Netherlands, right?"
"Oh! Incredible! Deng Kai unknowingly completed a hat trick of assists! β
"It feels like a fantasy! Although he has appeared in the camera quite a few times so far, he has not made many eye-catching actions. β
"If it weren't for the stats, I wouldn't even be able to tell which one is Dunkai, which one is Amorim or Veloso, aren't they all ordinary catch-and-shoot jobs?"
"With such a Portuguese team, can the German team really win?"
"Why is the pre-match win rate guess one-sided? This kind of strong team should not be despised at all, okay! β
A lot of the commentary is lost.
The rout of the German team was hard to accept.
But fans can break down, players can't.
With the help of the head coach and players such as Lahm, the German team stabilized the situation on the field by shrinking the formation.
They no longer push and close.
I no longer want to break the Portuguese team with a stormy attack.
They just want to be quiet.
They gave up football to the Portuguese, and they cowered.
"Klinger, you go and keep an eye on that Dunkai, whatever he does!" The German coach was perhaps the first to see the situation clearly, and he saw the eyes of Portugal.
Sure enough, there was no such sharp pass that killed the Portuguese team again.
Although the German team lost possession, they were in a much better position than before.
When they are completely relieved and adapted, it is when they are desperate.
In this respect, the German Under-16s are at least a well-trained team, and they have a very high level of completion of the manager's tactics, and they are banned.
In the 21st minute, Mereles and Robery penetrated down the left flank.
Robery crosses with his feet.
Cristiano Ronaldo's header is deflected.
The German team is full of people, and even if Ronaldo can get lucky enough to compete for football, it is difficult to exert strength.
In the 28th minute, Meireles broke through a feint on the left and crossed Amorim diagonally, who joined Genghis Khan's lineup with a long-range shot.
During this period, the Portuguese team's offensive was mainly concentrated on the left flank, which was completed by Meireles.
Deng Kai, who was specially marked by the German team, had only a handful of touches on the ball, as if it had been frozen, similar to the sapper Veloso.
Veloso: I advise you to speak with respect, I'm a defensive midfielder and it's understandable that I don't have a lot of touches. Some people can't touch the ball yet, which is a bit too much.
Deng Kai: ???
In the 36th minute, Quaresma broke through on the right and eventually created a free-kick.
In the ensuing corner, Font was whistled for an offensive foul after overturning GΓΆrlitz, who was defending him, during a battle for the top.
During this period, the Portuguese team has been constantly besieging the German team.
The German coach had a thick stack of statistics and analysis sheets in his hand, waiting to meet with his players at half-time.
Three goals behind, it seems like a desperate situation, but the Germans have never fought with certainty!
There is a great opportunity!
Forty-second minute.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a hard time surviving in the penalty area, withdrew.
The center is actually miserable.
A lot of times it doesn't appear in the shot at all.
But the opposing centre-backs won't lose sight of you.
They will follow you most of the time and have some physical contact with you.
Push you when you run, give you a touch when you meet.
Endless little movements, small frictions.
It's never been rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and I, Luo, really can't bear it.
As soon as Ronaldo came out, Deng Kai immediately started the forward insertion, and temporarily got rid of Klinger who was marking him with the help of Ronaldo's movement. Cristiano Ronaldo can also be successful when he goes to play basketball because he completes a good pick-and-roll.
Quaresma made a successful pass on the flank, just in time to see Deng Kai's movement, and the lift of his foot was a cross.
He knew that Deng Kai was not tall, so he gave a low cross ball.
This kind of ball is difficult to handle, and Deng Kai is no exception.
But before Deng Kai could think about how to deal with the problem, he was brought down by German centre-back Fink.
Fink didn't keep up with Deng Kai, and he was worried that Deng Kai would receive a cross, so he pushed Deng Kai down with his hands and feet.
The referee blew the whistle immediately.
Penalty kick!
And gave Fink a yellow card!
The fans of the German team even wanted to leave the stadium.
Three goals down, still give a penalty?
Can this game be played?
The players of the German team immediately surrounded him, saying that it was a normal physical confrontation, and Deng Kai was faking a fall, etc.
But the referee didn't listen.
The short-tempered Hitzelsperger was even more yellow carded for excesses of words.
He's angry!
In the Youth Champions League, the gap between them and Sporting Lisbon was not big.
Everybody's in extra time.
Why is it only two or three months that Deng Kai and Ronaldo can cut melons and vegetables for the German U16?
Quaresma then took the penalty.
Bang!
"Oh! Didn't score! The soccer ball hit the post and bounced out! β
"O Quaresma! It shouldn't be! β
