Chapter 209 The only thing to watch
For Benfica's second goalkeeper, who is also the second goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team in this World Cup, Diego is also quite curious.

What is the level of this "Millennium Second" goalkeeper who was also born in Braga?Even before the big training camp started, he was already favored by Fernando Santos in advance?

The World Cup just provided an opportunity for Diego to watch Quim's game comprehensively.

On the morning of July 7, German time, the head coach of the Portuguese national football team Scolari revealed in an interview with the media that the main goalkeeper of the team, Ricardo, was injured during training. If the card is waived, he will let the second goalkeeper Quim start.

Facts have proved that this is not the smoke bomb of Brazilian coach Scolari.

The starting lineup was released, and Quim did appear in the starting position. The team's first goalkeeper Ricardo sat directly on the bench, and even his thigh was wrapped with a thick bandage, which showed that he was seriously injured.

In this game, Scolari was quite afraid of England's luxurious and strong formation. For this reason, the Brazilians put on a 4-5-1 formation.

Scolari deployed heavy troops in the midfield.

Petit, Maniche, and Thiago sit in the middle, and Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo return to the full-back position. This five-offensive and defensive midfield configuration means that the Portuguese team is determined to compete with England. Top midfielders, fight to the end in this game!
only……

At the center position, Scolari still uses Pauletta.

I don't know how much money Pauletta bribed Scolari, so that he can secure the main position every game?
You know, the number of Pauleta's goals in this World Cup is only a pitiful one.

Eriksson also changed his formation in this game. The 4-1-4-1 formation is also the formation used by the England team for the first time in this World Cup.

Behind the starting center Rooney, Joe Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham lined up.

The control, creativity, and impact of this midfielder can be said to be among the top in Europe at present.

In the defensive midfielder position, Hargreaves sits alone.

A single defensive midfielder also means that Hargreaves needs to run more in this game, so that he can fully cover the defensive area in front of the back line.

In the eyes of the fans, this game is a competition for midfield control.

Whoever wins the control of the midfield will have a great chance to have the last laugh!
……

"Who do you think can win?"

Eating Spanish-style roast leg of lamb, David Luiz kept asking Diego about his views on the game.

"I think the England team can win! After all, there are still many good players on the bench in England. If you are ahead and take back to counterattack, there is Owen; There's 'Bamboo' Crouch."

Because of his age, Diego perfectly missed the peak era of the England team in later generations. What he witnessed was more of the "Three Meows" who were dubbed "European Chinese Team" and "King of the Warm-up Match", so !Diego hopes that the "butterfly effect" caused by his rebirth after returning to 2006 will allow this peak England team to advance to the World Cup finals!

Better to have David Beckham win the World Cup Ballon d'Or!
For the owner of Miami FC in the Major League Soccer, Diego regarded him as a childhood idol.

"Well, since you are optimistic about England, then I am optimistic about Portugal!"

David Louis tore off a piece of lamb leg, chewed it, and said vaguely: "You can't both support the same team, otherwise this game will be boring to watch."

"Okay, if Portugal loses, you can treat me to delicious food when we get to China the day after tomorrow!"

Diego grinned and said, "I want to eat Chinese Chaoshan beef hotpot!"

"Chaoshan beef? What is it? Is it the same as Kobe beef?"

"It's different, it's completely different..."

Seeing that the referee had put the whistle in his mouth, Diego quickly signaled: "Ah! The game has started! Let's study Chinese food when we arrive in China the day after tomorrow."

"Beep..."

The referee Eli Zondo gave a long whistle, and nearly 6 fans in the Auf Schalke Stadium erupted!
The game has finally begun!

This game can be regarded as the only strong dialogue in the quarter-finals, and it is also the only interesting game.

The last game remaining is Spain against Ghana.

Although this World Cup has been upset again and again, because Ghana's heart-natured Gian strained his groin in the game against Brazil, he has announced his farewell to this World Cup in advance. Fans will never believe that Ghana can upset the star-studded "" Legion of Matadors".

so!This strong dialogue will be the only game worth witnessing in the quarter-finals!

After the start of the game, both sides played very proactively, and there was no conservatism at all.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the supernova of the Portuguese team, is no stranger to the players of the England team - not only his own teammates, but also his old enemies and deadly enemies that he often faces in the English arena.

It also allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to play very proactively.

Continuous pedaling on the sidewalk, sprinting at various speeds, hitting the sidewalk guarded by Gary Neville on the right side of England in turn.

But fortunately, Hargreaves, who was in the midfielder position, kept making up for him and double-teamed Cristiano Ronaldo, which ensured that England's defense was not overwhelmed.

Of course, England's counterattack was also quite sharp.

As a teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford, how can Rooney let Ronaldinho steal the show all by himself?

Therefore, when defending and counterattacking, Rooney also showed his future strength as an Old Trafford striker!

The impact driven by Rooney's strong body also made it difficult for Portugal's defense to parry - the central defender combination of Meera and Carvalho, in order to withstand Rooney's impact with the ball, ate 8 in just 5 minutes. Meera even received a yellow card for a second foul.

As a central defender, he received a yellow card a long time ago, which is a very dangerous signal.

From the start of the game to the 15th minute, the score was still 0-0 for the time being.

What surprised the fans of both sides was that they thought it would be a game of midfield control, but the two sides played very out of the tactical system.

Basically, the central defenders who opened and closed directly went to the striker with their feet, and then quickly counterattacked.

The rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition of the two sides is very fast, and the number of shots is also quite a lot.

It's just that the number of shots on target is really pitiful. So far in the game, neither side has had a shot on target.

This also allowed the two goalkeepers Robinson and Quim to spend the first 15 minutes leisurely.
