Chapter 192 186. Portugal's Attack Group

Luca has ignored the transfer disturbance for the time being, and his only focus now is the European Cup.

Five days later, the German team reached the Hungarian capital.

Although Munich is the venue, the stadium is not a fixed home. Otherwise, it will take advantage of the schedule, which probably means using your stadium. You have a fan base, but it is not your home stadium.

Today Portugal is playing at home in Hungary and Germany is away.

Seeing Portugal's starting roster, Luca couldn't help but gasp.

This is too luxurious.

Goalkeeper Patricio, defenders Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Pepe, Guerrero, midfielders Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Bruno Fernandez, forwards B, Ronaldo, Felix.

The back line is basically based on the two players of Manchester City, the midfielder is also the Premier League team, the Wolves players plus Manchester United's new king B Fee, the forward line is a few "Antetokounmpo", each of them is full of power, maybe just Felix was somewhat unable to line up with the two elder brothers.

At 7 pm local time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time.

Portugal, which took the lead to kick off, did not have a strong desire to attack. Portugal is also a team based on counterattacks.

After passing the ball several times in a row, the Portuguese offensive player slowly moved forward.

"With the development of football, especially in cup matches, teams have more and more counterattacks, and positional warfare is more difficult. The main reason is that the national team's cooperation time is short, and it is more difficult to play any complicated tactics. , we can see that in the past Germany and Spain won the World Cup based entirely on one or two giants. On the contrary, France won the World Cup before relying on players from various teams, but the essence of that French team is still a team. Counterattack team. It can be said that counterattack is a very important magic weapon in the competition.” The commentary of German Sky TV said: “Today Loew finally returned to the 4-back formation, which is to deal with the threat brought by Portugal. Kenbauer and Kimmich form a double midfielder, Toni Kroos has fallen out of favor, Werner is behind Havertz, Gnabry and Reus are two wingers respectively."

Portugal’s ball-holding point is very interesting. The B seat on the right and the two players behind B Fei hold the ball more, but B Fei has more passing teammates when he gets the ball. In this case, Luca doesn’t know if it’s intentional. Yes, he hasn't seen Bruno Fernandes play much.

But he still has a way. After discussing with "Chicken Brother", Kimisi will be in charge of Bernardo Silva on the right, and he will be in charge of the center and left, so it is more clear.

Ruben Neves made a direct pass, and Bruno Fernandez immediately wanted to give it to the right. Seeing Kimisi's position, he chose to go straight behind Luca, but Luca was waiting for him, and turned around quickly. Foot tackle, Schultz kept up with the big foot and drove forward. Haverts' height advantage was once again shown. He overwhelmed Ruben Neves and gave the ball to Royce.

Royce dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.

Sky TV's commentary was a little worried: "It can be seen that Haverts was not easy to fight for the top just now, and his physical confrontation is a bit poor. Is it really a good choice for him to choose to transfer to Chelsea in this case?"

Haverts' transfer was finalized quickly, and Chelsea should have determined this candidate early.

Veteran Pepe is really getting older and more demonic. He backed up and was careful. Royce's pass was seen through by him and he stretched his foot to block out of the penalty area. Germany won a corner kick.

Luka took a look at the situation, and there was really no need to go forward.

Tadu ran to Portugal's penalty area to compete for the top. He should stay in the half to guard against Portugal's counterattack.

Royce took a corner kick from the right, and it was Pepe who pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Ruben Neves made a quick long pass and hit the forward field. Luca saw the landing and rushed to the right.

He jumped up high and shook his head to throw the ball to Kimisi. "Chicken" immediately sent another big foot back to the Portuguese half. Just as the ball came over here, the Portuguese offensive player rushed to this side, and the ball went back in a blink of an eye. Yes, Portugal's formation is somewhat disjointed.

At the critical moment, Joao Moutinho hugged Haverts behind him, interrupting the German team's counterattack.

"This is a tactical foul. Although they received a yellow card, it is still relatively cost-effective. The problem with Portugal is that they were too high just now. There is only Moutinho in front of the defense line. If Mourinho does not foul, the ball Nine out of ten chances will be a shot. We are also quite regretful, after all, Haverts passed, and Gnabry should have caught the ball in the penalty area and formed a single goal."

A few minutes away from the corner kick, another free kick in the frontcourt.

Luca felt really relaxed.

In addition to dealing with a wave of Portuguese offensives at the beginning, they did not encounter any tests.

Pa~ Havertz took a direct free kick and was caught by Patricio. The Portuguese goalkeeper threw the ball into the midfield, and Bruno Fernandez turned and rushed forward quickly.

Just now Kimmich also went to the frontcourt to participate in the free kick attack, and Luka is under a lot of pressure now.

He went up to press Bruno Fernandez at the first time, and the opponent immediately gave a kick to the left. Joao Felix quickly moved to the center after receiving the ball. When Luca chased back, he still focused on Ronaldo.

He was impressed by Ronaldo's terrifying header ability.

Schulz has been guarding against Felix rushing in from the penalty area line, but he didn't expect the opponent to choose directly to the center. Seeing Ronaldo jumping high, Luka ran to the right instead, and Neuer had already attacked. At this time, he should guard against seat B.

Sure enough, Ronaldo didn't have a chance to choose the header to ferry this ball. Luca got in the position ahead of time and firmly stuck Bernardo Silva behind him. He stopped the ball in his chest and quickly turned around to draw the ball to the opponent. The ball hit B Xi's calf popped out of the bottom line.

"Beautiful handling of Luca!"

Neuer gave Luca a thumbs up, and Luca smiled shyly. It is better to be humble at this time.

Ronaldo glanced at Luca, feeling very headache.When Luca was in Serie A, he realized how difficult Luca was to deal with. The first time the two met, Luca played as a striker. When they met again, Luca had already become a defensive midfielder, an all-around player.

Especially during the period when Luca was playing as a midfielder, Juventus's offense could hardly be organized. The ball was not intercepted in the half of Turin. He has heard Mendes say that the signing fee of Luka's transfer may be as high as 6000 million euros.

If he was young, he still had the confidence to defeat the German team's defense, but now his physical fitness is not as good as before. Ronaldo feels that today will be a tough battle, even if their offensive line is very gorgeous.
