Golden Greenery

( ) Portugal’s defensive organization is one of the top five in the world, and its individual defensive capabilities are also on par. It is not easy for the Chinese team’s cautious offense to penetrate them.

After 80 minutes of the game, the score was still 1:1. Portugal controlled the ball and the Chinese team shot 5 times. In terms of statistics, the Chinese team is lagging behind across the board, and the situation seems to be suppressed. However, the quality of offense and the actual threat to the goal are actually similar between the two sides.

Zhuo Yang settled deeper and tried his best to use his immortal skills to offset some of the Portuguese's technical advantages. Liberating Zhuoyang does not mean that he will completely ignore other things besides scoring goals.

The Chinese team played very well overall today and was not suppressed by Portugal in the midfield confrontation. This can be seen from the Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although Mr. Luo still contributed a team-high 4 shots, the quality was just that. In the big net woven by the Chinese team, he has only caught 40 balls so far, which is actually the lowest among the starting players in the team. The Chinese team's separation is indispensable.

Portugal can't do anything without attacking. If they don't attack aggressively, they will inevitably fall into confusing overtime. Coach Santos has replaced Guedes with another A seat, Andre Silva.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't help but be in trouble. People who work in this field know clearly that although Portugal has the advantage, in fact the trend of the battle has always been on the side of the Chinese team because they are not afraid of overtime.

The 23-year-old Ann Silva is also the ‘Cristiano Ronaldo successor’, and is more similar in terms of body shape and style. He made his debut in Porto and was personally recommended to Maldini by his agent Mendes last summer, thus joining AC Milan with a transfer fee of 38 million.

In the warm-up match last October, the Chinese team beat Milan 5-0 at the San Siro. An Silva was not present. He was recruited by the Portuguese football team to play in the final group match against Switzerland in the European zone of the World Cup.

Portugal won that game 2:0, thus tying Switzerland in points, and became first in the group with a goal difference, directly receiving tickets to the World Cup, avoiding the annoying play-offs.

Cristiano Ronaldo suffered the whole game, and the hero was Ann Silva, who scored a goal, and then Swiss center back John Djoru came to the rescue and added Portugal's icing on the cake with an own goal.

But Ann Silva did not perform well in Milan last season. He played many games but only scored two goals. The Cavaliers can't stand it anymore and plan to rent him out in the new season and sell him if they can.

Portugal does not have a serious center. An Silva, who is 185cm tall, is not a serious center. His taste as a center is the same as Bale and Mbappe at the front. AC Milan fell into this trap.

But something is better than nothing. No matter how much teams use the wings as fireworks, they must be prepared for the center.

After all, it is an important form of tactics. And An Silva is not ranked among the European centers, but he was trained in a strange land rich in wingers, and he is naturally suitable for Portugal's side-by-side style of play.

Replaced with An Silva, the Portuguese finally had a stake in front. This was the signal for an all-out attack. This was the moment that the Chinese team was waiting for. Sforza did not hesitate to adjust the substitutions again, and Alan came on to replace Pinde. It’s almost done, Ah Zhe.

In terms of position, Zhang Xizhe is the person closest to Ronaldo. It was really hard work for him and Dongzi to use all their abilities to block the president to this extent.

It is impossible to play football without working hard and without taking any risks. Among the Chinese team's many plans before the game, they would increase their counterattack efforts in the last ten minutes when the score is tied. Except for 1, which team really went for overtime from the beginning.

Therefore, the Chinese team and Portugal coincided with a relatively fierce offensive in the last ten minutes, and the scene suddenly looked good.

It was Portugal that created the danger first. Franco's soldiers pressed forward, and R. Guerrero passed the ball into the penalty area from a 45° position. Ronaldo, Quare, and A were all in front of the goal. The Portuguese have not been so bold today.

Xiao Yan's judgment was accurate, but after the attack, the moon-picking in the air was interfered by Cristiano Ronaldo who was leaning on his arms. He could not hold it securely and could only barely hit the football away from the most dangerous area.

Relying on the advantage of inertia, Xiao Yan rushed directly to the landing point of the football after landing, but was blocked by his teammate Xiao Jiang.

Seat B came, and the Manchester City winger took the lead and shot a sideways volley. The ball hit the outer edge of the corner of the goal and broke the bottom line while everyone in the Chinese team was stunned.

Frankly speaking, this is almost Portugal's best chance so far, even better than Pepe's goal. Zhuo Yang turned his heart back to his heart and secretly praised Seat B for nothing.

Looking back, Zhuoyang saw that a hard attack was too troublesome here, so he suddenly opened fire from 40 meters away, sending a weird low arc straight to the bottom corner.

He had sufficient reaction time from a long distance, and the shot did not stump Patricio, but the strong spin still made him let go. Exxon followed up with a follow-up shot, but Pepe jumped in front of him and the two of them fought, and the shot was gone.

When it comes to long-range shots, Ronaldo refused to accept anyone. He immediately returned the favor while dribbling the ball. Moreover, compared with the previous waves, the quality of the shot was obviously improved this time. It also forced Yan Junlin to take off his hand. Fortunately, he praised Reisma failed to keep up with Ronaldo's progress and had no chance to shoot.

In the 88th minute, Zhuoyang climbed up from the ribs and passed Guerrero and Pepe in a small area. The old man and the young man were very knowledgeable. They were played like monkeys and refused to stretch their legs.

A cross was passed in the penalty area, and Exon, who was well prepared at the far end, followed up with a sweep shot. Patricio swooped in to protect the goal with his body.

Kadashi made up for it again, and Fonte worked hard again.

Both sides have opportunities and dangers, but their ability to waste opportunities is also competing with each other. On the sidelines, coach Santos and young coach Sforza seemed to have dull expressions, but in fact their hearts almost stopped.

The two coaches were competing for determination, or in other words, toughness, gritting their teeth to see who couldn't bear it first.

The players on the field were not so nervous. After holding it in for the whole game, they finally let go and let themselves go according to the tactics.

The first time he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he kept changing under Pepe's personal entanglement. Looking for Zhongzhuo, Yang Ting was confused: Should he just throw one away?

For the sake of the national team, Zhuo Yang can be shameless.

If it were Fonte who defended, he wouldn't be so hesitant. After a brief tangle, due to his personal relationship with Pepe, Zhuoyang gave up on winning without force and chose to stab Patricio with force. As a result, the football confused Patricio's face.

During the second pass, there was a huge crowd in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. Quaresma changed direction and collided with the iron egg, causing it to fall loudly. Immediately afterwards, Cristiano Ronaldo collided with A-Lan in the same way, and was also thrown into disrepair.

The football was cleared out of the penalty area by Zhuo Yang. Ronaldo gave up and rushed towards the referee with veins on his neck.

Jie Nima still doesn’t award a penalty kick?

Thus, in the first knockout match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the 90-minute confrontation ended after Cristiano Ronaldo received the first yellow card of the game.

The first overtime came as scheduled.
