The strongest winger

Chapter 1171
Cristiano Ronaldo played very hard, but there is no way to compare his personal efforts with the overall. Many times he can rely on his personal ability to break through one or two, and even break through the third, but when facing the fourth, he will always lose control of football.

As the game time passed, Cristiano Ronaldo became more independent and cooperated less and less with his teammates. Many times his teammates stayed put after passing the football, 'appreciating' his wonderful individual performance.

With the support of his powerful teammates, Messi's performance is getting better and better.

Of course, there is still a certain gap with his performance in Barcelona, ​​because there is no Iniesta and Xavi in ​​Argentina. In the national team, he needs to play the roles of Iniesta, Xavi and himself, that is, he has multiple roles.

Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo's multiple roles, Messi still plays like a fish in water in Argentina. Who can make his teammates keep up with his playing rhythm?

In the final analysis, it is still teammates.

But the only regret is that at the end of the first half, the score on the court was still 1:0, and they entered the locker room with a goal advantage.

Fans who like football a little bit know that a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in a football game. As long as someone is a little careless, the score will be equalized by the opponent. Although Portugal as a whole is different from Argentina as a whole, who can guarantee that they will not be nervous once?

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo is a star player who relies on his personal ability to change the score. Who can guarantee that he won't be one of them?

You must know that throughout the 2013-2014 season, Cristiano Ronaldo was the player who relied on his personal ability to score goals second only to Aiello, and he scored six more goals than Messi!
This is why Portuguese fans firmly believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the team to defeat Argentina and enter the World Cup semi-finals.

What's interesting is that during the intermission, the on-site director gave the camera to Cristiano Ronaldo's face very meaningfully, and pushed it to a close-up of the face. From his expression, one can easily see two words - unhappy!

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo entered the locker room with an obviously bad face. His teammates and even coach Queiroz did not speak, all worried that Cristiano Ronaldo's emotions would explode.

But what surprised them was that Cristiano Ronaldo said unexpectedly after taking a deep breath: "Hey, guys, it was my fault in the first half. I didn't choose to believe you, which made the game so messy. I have to apologize to you."

Everyone was taken aback by this, and didn't react at all.

Immediately afterwards, Cristiano Ronaldo said again: "I hope that we will reunite in the second half. I believe that everyone here will buy a ticket to go home now. Entering the semi-finals is the direction we should work hard for!"

Cristiano Ronaldo is the number one star in Portugal, so he naturally has an extraordinary status in the national team. During his speech, his teammates also had a period of thought buffer.

Since the captain took the initiative to admit his mistakes in the first half, it is natural to give him some face.

In the second half, they changed sides and played again. Portugal had a significant change in the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo no longer fought alone like in the first half. He chose to cooperate with his teammates more.

The sudden change caught Argentina by surprise.

Because during the intermission, the head coach Savilla did not supplement this aspect at all, so...

Fortunately, the goalkeeper Romero stood up at this time, and he made a high jump to resist and tried to keep the goal.

After a few minutes of slight adjustments, Argentina gradually adapted to Portugal's tactical changes and made targeted tactical changes. Cristiano Ronaldo had to rely on his super personal ability to create opportunities again.

However, Savilla was already prepared for this, and waved his big hand, signaling Mascherano to keep an eye on Cristiano Ronaldo, and if necessary, he can be brought down at all costs.

For Savilla's arrangement, Mascherano was not surprised at all. In the national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, he was responsible for marking Cristiano Ronaldo.

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo was marked to death, and Portugal's offense became paralyzed. At the same time, Argentina's offense was also strengthened after solving the defensive problem. Messi's breakthrough with the ball in the frontcourt caused partial panic among the Portuguese defensive players.

In the No.16 minute of the second half, that is, 61 minutes of the whole game, Messi used a free kick created by himself to assist his friend Aguero to score with a header, and the score was rewritten to 2:0
Seeing the score, Ai Luo shook his head, he could already guess the final outcome.

Although the score was enlarged, Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to give up. He was as tireless as a perpetual motion machine, running and asking for the ball, hoping to help the national team through his own efforts, just like the troubles encountered at the beginning of the group stage...

However, until the referee blew the whistle, the score remained unchanged, Argentina 2:0 Portugal

In other words, Argentina defeated Portugal to advance to the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Their semi-final opponent will be the Saints between the Netherlands and dark horse Costa Rica.

The result of the game was not unexpected, but the process is worthy of everyone's praise, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, the impression he left on the world is... a lonely hero.

Everyone knows that as long as Portugal's overall strength improves a little bit, the result of this game will be different.

So when the whistle sounded for the whole game, the live director's camera was not shown on Messi, who was the best player in the game, but on the lonely-faced Cristiano Ronaldo. His tall back made people feel regretful.

In the last quarter-final match later, the process was a bit surprising. I thought that the Netherlands would easily beat the dark horse Costa Rica. As a result, the two sides fought 1:4 within 120 minutes.
But the process felt sorry for the Dutch team, because they had three goalposts in the game...

The game ended in a draw within 120 minutes, and the two sides had to enter a penalty shootout. The psychological quality of the experienced Dutch players was obviously better than that of Costa Rica. Even if the goalkeeper Navas performed against the sky, there was still no way to change the final result...

With the end of this game, all four teams that entered the semifinals were released.

China, Brazil, Argentina and the Netherlands.

The winners of the two semi-finals will decide the final winner at the Maracana Stadium!
