Portugal 1-......

Tick tick!

The referee blew the whistle again and again, signaling that Ronaldo's goal was invalid.

Because he fouled Gallas when he stealed.

Alvalad's stadium was instantly thin.

It feels ...... Quite uncomfortable.

It almost got off to a dream start.

But Ronaldo's attack this time directly set off an offensive frenzy.

Seventh minute.

Zidane has a straight kick, and the sword in the world is not old.

Thierry Henry slashed forward on the left and cut inside immediately after receiving the ball.

Kirope chased back with all his might, but trailed Henry by half a position.

Henry half single-handedly.

Left!

Single Knife!

Henry!

Portuguese goalkeeper Baia already knows what to do.

He sealed the near corner and then pounced in the opposite direction the moment Henry shot at goal.

Bang!

"Oh! Oh, my God! ”

"Henry's shot is saved!"

"Baia made a world-class save!"

"It's a pity, almost, Henry almost gave France the lead."

"It's almost as exciting as Cristiano Ronaldo's foul goal just now, and then it's a pity."

Nineteenth minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo dropped back to receive a pass from Deco and then turned and sent a through ball.

Deng Kai sprinted without the ball along the wing.

There is no skill, only raw running.

Thuram found that his speed was a bit unable to keep up with Deng Kai, and decisively chose to recycle to prevent Deng Kai from cutting in.

On the other hand, it is also because Ronaldo has retreated before and has not yet entered the big penalty area, and Deng Kai's cross will not be too threatening.

As a member of the world's No. 1 right-back sequence, Thuram's ability is unquestionable.

He was the main force in the French team today to freeze the Soviet Airlines.

Bang!

After Deng Kai caught up with the football, he rolled the ball and swept the ball in front of the goal.

Thuram simply can't interfere with the path of the football.

But centre-back Desailly was in a hurry to block the football.

The soccer ball flies towards the goal.

Finally, it rubbed the column and deviated.

Almost contributed an own goal.

"Oh! Desailly made a brilliant clearance. ”

"Or maybe Deng Kai chose to try to create an own goal without his teammates answering, but it didn't work."

"It's really a battle between the best and all the players have 800 hearts and minds and the ability to turn those ideas into reality."

Twenty-fifth minute.

It was Zinedine Zidane who suddenly sent an outside instep cross on the left flank.

Once again, Henry stood out, and the impact was vividly reflected.

Henry didn't have a shot angle, though.

So he went straight to the middle with his left foot in a volley.

The ball is fast.

And it's a half-high ball.

Defenders are hard to deal with.

But again, attacking players are difficult to deal with.

In the end, Trezeguet used his strong running ability to grab the position ahead of Pepe and volley with his left foot.

Bang!

Soccer balls took to the skies.

However, Trezeguet's poor marksmanship cannot be blamed for this.

In fact, Trezeguet is one of the top five shooters in the world at this stage.

And what is commendable is that although he is a right-footed player, his left-footed shooting skills are also very exquisite, which can be called five or five shots.

Such archery skills can't be suppressed.

It can only be said that Henry's pass is too difficult.

Of course, Henry can also shake the pot.

He is a super player with 25 assists in a single season in the Premier League, the second highest assist king in Europe, and a passer second only to Deng Kai, can he not know how to pass?

The main reason is that Zidane's pass this time was too sudden, deceiving the enemy, but also deceiving his teammates.

Henry's ability to catch up is already a manifestation of ability.

Zinedine Zidane: So it's tantamount to saying that you blame me?

Thirty-first minute.

Zinedine Zidane receives a pass from Lizarazu in the left midfield.

Lizarazu then went up and down the touchline.

Carvalho stepped back and followed Lizarazu.

Waiting for Zidane to cut inside with the ball.

Defender Kostiani and right centre-back Kilop immediately pressed for Zidane.

Limiting Zidane's play was the key to the victory over France.

Just like the key to the French team's victory, it is also to limit Deng Kai's play.

Bang!

Zidane crosses horizontally.

The ball went around Kostiani like a cutlass to Pires, who cut inside without the ball on the right.

Despite always playing on the left side at Arsenal.

But in the national team, Pire also has to give up his place for Zidane, so he can only come to the right side.

But even so, Piret was still sharp.

Bang!

Pire shoots from distance.

But because Pepe was in front of him, Pire's kick avoided Pepe and deflected out of the goal.

In general, the French team's offensive was more fierce during this time.

It has to do with Zidane's position.

Lizarazu, Zidane, Henry, the left side of the French team gave Zidane two attackers.

And they're all top players.

Zidane has a good output environment.

In fact, Zidane has appeared in midfield in the first few games of the French team.

Then on the left is Pire, on the right is Ribery.

Makelle was knocked out.

Patrick Vieira is a single midfielder.

The effect is also very good, and it can release Zidane's energy even more.

But in this game, after careful consideration, Zidane still chose the left side.

It's not because he's been playing on the left side for a long time at Real Madrid, so he plays better on the left.

It's because this way you can avoid Deng Kai as much as possible.

Because Deng Kai is also on the left side of the Portuguese team.

The two staggered to the greatest extent, and the king did not see the king.

The reason is that Deng Kai has a habit of retreating to help his teammates when he plays football, and his running is very positive.

And Zidane thinks Deng Kai's defensive ability is quite good.

Although it is not as terrifying as Makellele, it can also be compared to the average all-round midfielder.

This will affect Zidane's play.

But Zidane, on the other hand, struggled to put the same defensive pressure on Dunkai.

After all...... Deng Kai is still a month away from being twenty years old.

Zidane has already passed his thirty-second birthday.

……

Thirty-sixth minute.

Portugal went on the offensive.

Figo receives the ball on the right flank.

But neither Lizarazu nor Zidane put much pressure on him defensively along the way.

Therefore, Figo did not go down after passing the midfield, but adjusted his condition, rolled the ball and crossed, and directly found Viana who was inserted in front of the right rib.

Bang!

Viana didn't even stop the ball and went straight to the half-high cross.

Hit a fast!

This quick attack instantly tore through the French team's backline.

Bang!

Deng Kai stands out on the left side.

Man to ball to.

Grab the point and push the shot.

However, the ball hit Barthez and was blocked.

Deng Kai also wanted to make up shots.

But Desailly didn't give Deng Kai a chance and kicked the football out of the bottom line first.

Corner kick.

"Ahh Deng Kai also missed the opportunity to score! ”

"This goal is very similar to Trezeguet's previous shots, they are too fast, the player who shot can't adjust at all, it's good to be able to catch up."

"Of course, Viana can't be blamed, after all, ......"

Figo: Don't say it, I know, according to your logic, I'll have to blame in the end. It's the same as being prejudiced against a thirty-two-year-old, right?
