Golden Greenery

( ) Cristiano Ronaldo looked up at the white dome of the First Olympic Stadium, and the sound of the Black Sea seemed to penetrate the bustling stadium from there and reach his ears.

The First Olympic Games in Sochi was the main venue for the Winter Olympics that year. Cristiano Ronaldo was not interested in the Winter Olympics. Born on a warm Portuguese island, he has always been disgusted with playing football in Russia, but he still hopes that this place can become his own. of blessed land.

In his 16-year career, Ronaldo has killed countless people on the front line, and he can’t remember how many goals he scored. But the World Cup is an exception. One for each of the previous three tournaments seems to be a curse.

Cristiano Ronaldo does not believe in fate, but in a sense he is an agnostic. Perhaps the World Cup is his mysterious cage, an unbreakable shackles.

But the cage and shackles were suddenly broken half a month ago. Portugal drew 3:3 in their first group match. Cristiano Ronaldo single-handedly saved the team with a hat-trick.

Hat tricks are not unusual, but the hat in the World Cup is different. It is a tall hat made of rainbows. Ronaldo wore this hat to break the "one-goal fate" of the World Cup.

That day, it was at this stadium, Sochi First Olympiad. Ronaldo is very good at giving himself psychological hints, so he believes that this is a blessed place.

But he never expected that the Chinese team's defense was so good. Luo knew what was going on. 45 receptions, of which he only had 3 chances to get the ball in the penalty area, was the key.

The Chinese team has conceded a total of 4 goals in the three group matches, conceding goals in each game. The defense is not ranked in the top 32 of the top 32 goals, but facing Ronaldo is like cheating, which has caused him to encounter four World Cups. A rare lockdown in my experience.

What a surprise.

Ronaldo didn't know that the Chinese team's outstanding defense in this game was not only the success of Sforza's tactical layout, but also benefited from the practice against Denmark in the last group match.

In a real-life confrontation with a powerful European team, he practiced his usual 100 training sessions without any distractions. If it weren't for the cooperation of the Danes, it would be difficult for the Chinese team to survive the sharp counterattack of the Portuguese today.

As a dignified European champion, we must not mistake the village chief for a cadre.

The Chinese team's superb defensive performance made Cristiano Ronaldo hit him head-on, but the more this happened, the more he continued to strengthen the hint of "blessed land" in his heart. Otherwise, it is not enough to encourage yourself. This is also the biggest role of psychological suggestion.

From the perspective of outsiders, this is naturally a manifestation of Ronaldo's unremitting fighting spirit.

Coach Santos has long passed the age of playing with psychological suggestions. Facing overtime, he simply had hesitation again.

Coach Sang was also surprised by the Chinese team's defensive performance today, and even more aware of the horror of the Chinese team's defensive performance extending into overtime.

Portugal's passionate attack in the last ten minutes of regular time failed to achieve results. In overtime, they will have to increase their attack intensity, otherwise they will face penalty kicks with no chance of winning.

The 30 minutes of overtime will be frightening, because the Chinese team's stable defense and the counterattack threat led by Zhuo Yang are enough to scare any team in the world. The risks Portugal took in this half hour are no less than Dancing on the edge of a knife.

But no matter how dangerous it is, Portugal has to attack, otherwise it will be a slow suicide. The problem now is that since Quaresma replaced midfielder Adrian Silva, Portugal's lineup has actually become unbalanced in offense and defense. This is something that is extremely awkward for Santos.

In overtime, they had to press hard, but the midfield focused more on offense than defense. The double imbalance meant that Sang Shuai couldn't do such passionate things, so during the short interval, he made the decision to substitute for the third time.

The defensive midfielder M replaced the attacking midfielder Jo Mario for a fee.

Frankly speaking, in order to strengthen the offense, replacing the offensive midfielder with a defensive midfielder is unthinkable to other coaches, but here in Santos, it is simply logical.

The 32-year-old M fee is Manuel Fernandez. He was called "Manuelele" not long after his debut, which shows his football characteristics.

But no one calls it that now, because Manuelele, who has retired for eight years, seems too old. His once black and hard classic midfielder style is now unfashionable. Younger fans simply don’t understand ‘Manulele’. 'Contains meaning.

Moreover, M Fei, who debuted at Benfica, has not made a big name in these years, and the media, which loves the new and hates the old, will have no interest in praising him anymore.

It was still in the distant 04-05 season, Zhuoyang and Madibao played their first Champions League game in their lives, away from Benfica.

During the game, veteran midfielder Pettit suffered a respiratory arrest. Zhuoyang was so frightened that he immediately stopped the game and gave him artificial respiration. At that time, he grabbed the football that Zhuo Yang didn't want and tried to counterattack, but Zhuo Yang kicked him to pieces.

After the incident, M Fei complained to the referee without mercy, and almost had Nuno Gomez slap his brains out. (For details, see the second part of Madibao·The 3rd Suction)

Two months later, when he went to the home court of Fort Madi, M Fei was given a red card and a penalty kick by Zhuo Yang during the game. When he left the field in despair, he was angrily scolded by coach Koeman.

Since that joint attack, M Fei has grown slowly and failed to meet the expectations of 'the best defensive midfielder in ten years'. The peak of his career was just a few unsatisfactory seasons in Valencia and Everton. After playing in Shandong for half a year, he is now the main force of Lokomotiv Moscow.

If it weren't for Santos, who attaches great importance to defense, with M Fei's current style and ability, there would be almost no possibility of being selected for the Portuguese football team. In fact, he had never been called up by the national team before this time.

Zhuoyang had forgotten about Ronaldo for eight lifetimes. He only recognized Ronaldo, Ronaldo and Pepe in this Portuguese football team. But it was impossible for M Fei to forget him. When he met Zhuo Yang on the court, M Fei swallowed his saliva first.

.

Coach Sang was right. The Chinese team’s tactics in overtime were to focus on defense. When Portugal attacks, I will comfortably hit you on the counterattack. It would be better not to attack. Wang Dalei, who got excited when he heard about the exchange of penalty kicks, was already hungry. The thirst is unbearable.

The Chinese team and Portugal have both replaced three places, but this World Cup in Russia has a new rule in addition to VAR: the implementation of 3+1 substitutions.

Entering overtime, each team will automatically receive a fourth substitution. You can save them all until overtime and exchange them for four in one go, or you can save the first three and then the last one.

In the Chinese team's plan, penalty kicks are the responsibility of Dalei. He is better than Xiao Yan in this regard, more experienced than Xiao Yan, and has a better understanding with Zhuo Yang. Zhuo Yang + Wang Dalei are the ultimate strategic nuclear weapons of the Chinese team.

The whistle sounded, and Cristiano Ronaldo led the real and fake Franco robots to roar and cover up the Chinese team in his paradise.
