Chapter 667
The goal was not abrupt, but at least it was unexpected. The Portuguese players felt extremely frustrated.
England's first goal was to use Pepe to attack with more and less when he was not on the court. Now there are two fewer people on the court. England is completely bullying less people.
If both sides have as many people on the field, England may not be able to score a goal!
Most Portuguese fans also feel the same way in their hearts, that England won't be strong.
But the goal is a goal. Who is responsible for the injury and the injury?
In the final analysis, it is still to suffer.
The championship trophy will not be lacking in just because the championship is not good at winning. Moreover, the victory is not good at winning is only a definition given by Portugal itself.
However, many fans were very moved by England's two goals, and Valdy once again became the one who decided England's victory or defeat.
The first goal was Vardy scored himself after he knocked Pepe out;
The second goal, Valdi even ended Pepe and Moutinho at the same time. Even though he was not the goal, he was still the biggest hero behind the scenes.
Vardy is never a star who can only use goals to help the team. To put it in an exaggeration, every cell in his body can contribute to the team.
How lucky is England to have Vardy!
Looking at the English players celebrating the goals, the Portuguese players did not feel discouraged, but the blow they suffered was enough to remain silent for a long time.
Especially Ronaldo, who was confident and prepared to lead Portugal to the top of Europe, but when he walked to England, he encountered an unprecedented crisis, a crisis that could ruin Portugal.
Perhaps, Ronaldo felt the powerlessness when Vardy once led the entire team forward with his own strength.
Pepe covered his stomach on the sidelines with a hideous expression. England's goal was like a dagger piercing deep into his heart, and blood had flowed out of his heart and flowed along his body, with blood red all over the ground.
The anger surged, as if it had already broken through the top of his head, causing him to completely lose his mind.
His only thought now is to rush onto the field and tear the damn Valdy in front of him into pieces.
Gritting his teeth and waiting for the game to start again, Pepe returned to the court. He continued his energy, ready to leave a mark for Valdi that he would never forget for life.
However, Vardy was quite a thief. Seeing Pepe exuding the Avenger aura, Vardy was far away from him. Anyway, England also needed defense at this time.
Before Pepe found a chance to attack Valdi, the referee here had already blew the whistle and ended the first half.
Pepe felt extremely discouraged, as if the whole world was against him.
English players walked off the court with laughter and laughter. Lampard, who scored his first goal in the European Cup, came over to chat with Valdy. You should know that his goal was a great contribution to Valdy.
Vardy had a long time ago and cleared his grudges with Lampard. Now when talking about the embarrassing thing about the two of them taking off their pants, they both laughed heartlessly.
However, unlike the relaxed and festive atmosphere in England, the Portuguese player's face was gloomy when he walked off the stadium, and he felt like a cloud was floating above his head, completely in the rain.
It’s not that Portuguese players are in a downturn. No one who falls behind in the score will definitely not be happy.
However, what Portuguese players are more worried about is how to win the game in the second half and even complete an epic reversal.
If someone has done relevant statistics on the European Cup, you will find that in the knockout rounds in the history of the European Cup, there was only one reversal of more than two goals, and it happened in the first European Cup semi-finals in 1960, which is considered an ancient record.
At that time, the host France team was already ahead of Yugoslavia 4:2 in the second half. In the last 15 minutes, Yugoslavia accomplished an incredible miracle. They scored three goals in a row, eliminated France with a score of 5:4, and advanced to the European Cup final.
And in the following European Cups, such miracles were never performed again.
It doesn't mean that Portugal has no chance at all, but everyone knows that Portugal has little chance.
First of all, England's strength is stronger than Portugal, and after having already taken the absolute initiative, England can play more targetedly. Portugal, which is counterattacking in the second half, may face a England team with fast counterattack as its main style of play.
This is probably something that all teams are going to collapse, because they really have no choice but to take the lead England.
In the England locker room, Heinx changed his playing style without any surprise, focusing on high-pressing and defensive counterattacks. He would never give Portugal any chance in the second half.
Vardy shrugged. It seemed that he would continue to showdown with Pepe in the second half. I guess the system tasks were not so easy to complete. Pepe obviously still has combat power and has not won.
Of course, Ronaldo was relatively silent in the first half. Even though he performed well within a period of time, he could not lead Portugal out of the haze of England.
The same was true in his previous life. Although Ronaldo was the absolute leader of Portugal, he could not score as much goals as he was in the national team as he was in the club. Many times his teammates even performed more brilliantly than him. This can be seen from Ronaldo's not scoring many goals in the World Championship.
When the players of the two teams appeared in the second half, Vardy could clearly feel the infinite fighting spirit of Ronaldo. Of course, Pepe, this guy also looked full of fighting spirit. As for whether he wanted to play football well or play well, only he knew.
Valdy was always careful and would never give Pepe any chance. The failure of the task was small, and if he was injured, it would be really bad.
Pepe's lethality should not be underestimated.
Before Ronaldo kicked off, Vardy couldn't help but show off her superiority. At least it is hard to say that Vardy's team and Ronaldo's team are at the same level.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to win this time, just as I agreed before, I will go to the end and win the championship with your will. Of course, I can lend you a touch of the championship medal!" Vardy said teasingly.
C Luo instantly looked dark. He thought he was now saying the same thing to Valdi.
Ignoring Vardy, Ronaldo transferred the ball to Deco, and the second half of the game officially began.
Sure enough, in order to win the score, Portugal, which was two goals, almost gave up on defense and pressed the whole line, and they had no way out.
England's playing style is more advantageous. High-level pressing and layered defense have blocked Portugal's offense from layer to layer. England's sharp counterattack always seems to be a sword hanging above Portugal's head, making Portugal dare not act recklessly.
In the 50th minute of the second half, Ronaldo's elevator free kick was blocked by Joe Hart, and then England made a quick and sharp counterattack, but in the end, Joe Kerr's shot was also blocked by the Portuguese goalkeeper and returned in vain.
The offense and defense are both easy, but it becomes Portugal's offense. Deco received the ball outside the penalty area in the middle and passed the ball through England's defense line. Ronaldo penetrated the ribs directly into the small penalty area to get the ball, but in the end, the shot from a small angle was shot and flew out of the baseline.
Turning around to England to attack strongly, Beckham hit the Portuguese defensive player's calf and flew out of the baseline with a long shot. Beckham's corner kick was cleared by the Portuguese defender.
The two sides' fast-paced attacks were exciting, dazzling, and they were even so excited that they didn't have time to breathe, for fear of missing out on any exciting scenes.
The only regret is that neither side scored a goal.
After a wave of attacks, the players on both sides also needed a little rest and take a breath. The intense and intense game also allowed them to enter a period of low energy.
In the previous few counterattacks, Vardy did not directly turn into an arrow, but played more as an auxiliary. On the one hand, Portugal's defense was too tight, and he was afraid that he would be fouled by his opponent as soon as he received the ball and wasted a good opportunity for counterattack. On the other hand, he was also observing the loopholes in Portugal's defense dragging back.
If there are any loopholes in Portugal’s defense line, then it must be Pepe, who has a hot temper.
Whether Carvalho, Ferreira or Bosingva, they are all famous defensive players, and they may have the ability to play in any giant team.
Of course, this does not mean that Pepe is not strong in defense. On the contrary, Pepe is also very strong, otherwise it would not have been possible for Real Madrid to play the main player for so many seasons.
However, Pepe's weakness is too obvious and deliberately targeting it is definitely a fatal loophole in Portugal's defense line.
Pepe, who was angered, could not think with reason.
Vardy thought about it and decided to tease Pepe. This is the key to winning the game and the key to completing the task by himself.
If Ronaldo knew what Vardy was thinking now, he would have been very broken.
Those who say that they are in love and kill each other, but you abandoned me and threw themselves into Pepe's arms. Do you think of yourself as transparent?
Another counterattack from England, Beckham made a long pass, and Vardy had already rushed to Portugal's half. After the ball landed, he was ready to compete with Portugal's defensive players for the landing point.
Where Vardy's sight was within reach, Pepe had already rushed over, flew up, and kicked towards the ball. His hideous face might not make the little ghost dare to enter the door as a door god.
But Vardy had expected Pepe to attack him, so she was prepared. When everyone exclaimed, Vardy also jumped sideways and kicked the ball.
If you look at it from the side, this picture looks like a fighting game I played when I was a child. Two game characters flew up and kicked each other at the same time. The only thing that felt that the picture was slightly inconsistent was the black and white ball between the two.
puff!
After both sides kicked each other, the ball flew far away to one side.
Chapter completed!
