Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 320
"Portugal #11 Simão Sabrosa runs forward...it's a cover run! Followed by Portugal's biggest star, former World Player of the Year #7 Luis Figo! … …Luis Figo goes straight to the goal! The ball goes around the wall in the penalty area and flies towards the goal...near left post!”

"No. 1 Igor Akinfeev flew to the rescue! ... Oh God, the front of his finger must have touched the ball, just a little bit!"

"In the 38th minute of the first half, captain Luis Figo of the visiting team of Portugal blasted away the goal of the Russian team with an exquisite free kick. The score on the field was 1:1. The two sides returned to the original point again. In other words, a draw is not safe, especially for the Russian team, scoring 1 point is far from enough to make them No.2 in Group C!"

Facing the tough backcourt defense of the Russian team, it was still the personal skills of the big-name players that finally opened up the situation for the Portuguese team!
When Figo dribbled the ball in the front court, he was kicked to the outside of the calf by Russian defender Alexei Berezutsky. Figo fell down immediately. The ball was awarded a free kick in the front court by the referee on duty. The Russian team's strong protest did not cause the referee to change the sentence.

As a result, Simao, the first free kick player, played a screen, and Figo personally scored the free kick created by himself, and scored the Russian team's goal from an extremely tricky angle.

This kind of goal cannot be stopped by the defensive side. Free kicks cannot reflect the team's tactics. What can be seen is the footwork of the player who took the free kick and the goalkeeper's goalkeeping skills. The victory of Ge's personal technology.

Figo, who is nearly 33 years old, has proved that he is still the NO of the Portuguese national team with his exquisite footwork. 1. The national team captain's breakthrough and free kick saved Portugal.

If the Portuguese team can draw with the Russian team today, even if the Slovak team wins this round, they will still be 1 point lower than Portugal in total points, which is barely acceptable. Don't go wrong, you can break into the World Cup finals.

Of course, if the Portuguese team can get all 3 points, it will be easy in the remaining two qualifiers. Scolari can choose some substitute players or young players to play in the last two games to prepare for next year's World Cup. Check the list of substitute players and finally determine the squad for the World Cup.

※※※

The Portuguese team equalized the score and directly pushed the Russian team at home to the cliff!

Scoring 1 point will not help the Russian team's qualifying. They are now 2 points behind the Slovak team, and they are not as good as their opponents in goal difference. If the game is tied and the Slovak team wins this round, the Russian team 4 points behind Slovakia.

Even if the Russian team still has a game against Slovakia, it is meaningless. A win in a game can only recover 3 points, but not 4 points!
A draw is barely acceptable for the Portuguese team, but it is a reprieve for the Russian team. Their efforts to hit the World Cup every four years are all in vain. Such a consequence is an unbearable loss for the entire Russian football world.

"Rush forward! Get the score back!"

"We cannot be the sinners of Russian football!"

Head coach Valery Gazaev is roaring, captain Alexei Smetin is roaring, number one star Andrei Arshavin is roaring... More than 8 Russian fans in Luzhniki Stadium are screaming Crazy roaring!

On the big screen in the stadium, a picture of Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared.

Cong Ke, Putin in a black coat in the stands, like an ordinary fan, raised his fist and shouted!

The Russian team went berserk!
If the Russian team showed their tenacity and agility in the first 40 minutes of the game, then in the last few minutes of the first half, what they showed to everyone was: the bravery and tenacity of the Russian nation!
"No. 25 Alessie Smetin received the ball from the backcourt and strode forward. Portugal No. 7 Luis Figo stepped forward to intercept it. The captains of the two teams fought!  … Alessie Smetin Smetin slams the strong Luis Figo and passes the ball! ... No. 17 Igor Titov, the tall Russian midfielder receives the pass, speeds up and sprints to the right!"

"The Russian team's offensive is very fierce, and the offensive rhythm is fast!"

"The Portuguese team retreated across the board! Under the sudden acceleration of the Russian team's offensive rhythm, Portuguese coach Luis Scolari quickly commanded the players to retreat to the half court, leaving only striker No. 9 Pauletta in the frontcourt."

"No. 17 Igor Titov used a 360° turn. He swayed the Portuguese team's main midfielder No. 6 Francisco Costinha, and hit the ball with the outside instep! Beautiful!"

"A perfect pass! The ball flew to the feet of No. 10 Andrei Arshavin!  …"

Team Russia has transformed into Team Supermen!

Although they are charging forward violently, these players don't just know how to be reckless. The team's defense was crumbling.

At the critical moment, the core players in the Portuguese team played a pillar role!

No. 18 Nuno Maniche rushed to Arshavin's left side quickly and forced the opponent to the right. At the same time, experienced No. 16 Ricardo Carvalho also rushed out of the penalty area to block Arshavin. Chauvin's forward passing lane.

"boom!"

Ricardo Carvalho took advantage of Arshavin's limited space to dribble the ball and defuse the crisis with a ferocious tackle.

Arshavin, known as the "New Czar", has very exquisite foot skills, but his body is too thin. Even though his excellent physique makes his impact resistance far stronger than players of the same size, but in Ricardo Kava Under the double-teaming of the two giants Lue and Nuno Maniche, they could only obediently concede the ball.

"Steady! Strengthen your feet! Control the rhythm and don't rush to attack!"

Scolari yelled desperately to the players on the field. It is not long before the end of the first half, but it is a critical moment. Many teams will make mistakes because of impatience after being suddenly attacked by their opponents. Therefore, when the Russian team When you suddenly go crazy, do the opposite and control the rhythm is the safest choice.

"Shh!"

"Snapped!"

"Whoosh!"

The Portuguese players understood and immediately carried out Scolari's order and began to control the rhythm by inverting in the backcourt.

At this time, the advantages of the rich experience of the Portuguese players on the field are reflected. If the Portuguese team is all young and young on the field, it is estimated that they will be impatient and fight against the Russian team. The result is likely to be negative. Not good.

The Portuguese team only has striker No. 9 Pauletta in the frontcourt. This veteran forward has comprehensive skills, can pass and shoot, and has good ball control skills. But with only one gun, he can't beat Russia anyway. The result of a blind attack can only be to hand over the ball to the opponent again.

※※※

"Beep! Beep! Beep!!"

A few minutes of game time passed quickly, although only a few minutes, but all Portuguese players have a feeling of exhaustion.

This kind of ball is too tiring!

No matter how capable a player is, he is unwilling to play in this situation. Every Portuguese player who receives a pass is cautious, lest he make a mistake, and the nearby Russian players will pounce on them like a pack of wolves. Find the passing line in time, hand over the ball safely, and then run to meet teammates, and so on.

Not only tired, but useless!

You must know that the Portuguese team beat the same opponent to a huge score of 7:1 in the first round, but less than a year later, they were forced by the Russian team to defend in their own half in the game. The situation only lasted for a few minutes, and it was enough to make everyone feel ashamed.

"Russia, our sacred motherland~~Russia, our lovely homeland~~~~Strong will, great glory~~is your eternal treasure!"

"Be proud! Our free motherland~~Brothers and national alliances have been passed down from generation to generation~~~~The ancestors endowed the people with wisdom~~Be proud, motherland! We are proud of you!"

The Russian fans in the stands suddenly sang the Russian national anthem loudly.

Although the Russian players on the court have not yet achieved the ideal score, they played very tenaciously. Not only were they not beaten into a mess like they were in October last year, but they also showed strong combat effectiveness, suppressing their once invincible opponents. Punched in the half.

All of this is enough to make all Russians proud, and the Great Russia plot in their hearts expands infinitely.

This is a national war!

Before the game started, the national anthem was played on the court, and the national flag was fluttering. Every player represented their country!
This is also the first time that Ronaldo has appeared on the court of another country as a player of the Portuguese national team. Now, the Portuguese national team is in trouble. If they cannot push the Russian team back to the half after the opening of the second half, if In the first half of the situation, another 10 minutes, 20 minutes, the Portuguese team is really in danger!
The so-called defeat is like a mountain. Once the Portuguese team is under pressure and makes mistakes in the backcourt, the consequences will be disastrous.

And the Portuguese team has been pressed in their own half for a long time, will there be mistakes?There is no need to think about this problem at all!

The Portuguese team is not a team that is good at defense. Although their double midfielder formation ensures a strong defensive ability, the Portuguese team's defense has always been criticized. Except for the Dutch team, among some well-known national teams, Probably the comprehensive defensive strength of the Portuguese team is weak.

In addition, Russian players are too good at running, and they can’t run to death. In the 11VS11 game, they were beaten more and less. It always seemed that the white jerseys of Russia were more than the red jerseys of Portugal. From this point It can be seen that the Portuguese team wants to keep the 1:1 score by defending, which is basically wishful thinking.
