Godfather of national football

Chapter 587 Fighting Portugal ([-])

Portugal is good at advancing on the ground layer by layer, but after the Chinese team took the lead, the players retreated to defend. As a result, Portugal's offensive space was compressed.

It is best to break through the dense defense with a long pass. Fortunately, Portugal has a black high center, and that is Edel, the player who beat France in the European Cup.

The head coach has asked Edel to warm up. If the score is not equalized after 75 minutes, then Edel will be resolutely deployed.

The Portuguese players on the court also had a clear grasp of the situation. Ronaldo stood in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team again, and he was beckoning his teammates to pass the ball to his head.

In the traditional sense, no one regards Ronaldo as a center forward, but in fact, according to statistics, Ronaldo's header success rate is also very high. It can only be said that Ronaldo is an all-rounder.

The Portuguese midfielder took turns to pass the ball into the penalty area. Ronaldo alone PK Yin Di and Li Heng of the Chinese team, basically able to grab half of the headers.

"C Ronaldo's ability to bounce and stay in the air is too heaven-defying," Li Guo thought.

The only Chinese team that can PK with Ronaldo is Zhou Dun, but Zhou Dun cannot withdraw.

"It can be higher, I can," Ronaldo shouted at his teammates.

Of course, the higher the pass, the easier it is to pass the opponent's head, but it is also more difficult for the own players to reach it.

Quaresma still knows Ronaldo very well. After he broke through from the wing, he passed the ball very quickly with his instep.

Ronaldo took off, but this ball Quaresma also forced Ronaldo's limit, and Ronaldo's vacated height reached an unbelievable level.

But in the end it was still a little bit short. After jumping so high and landing, Ronaldo twisted his knee. After landing, Ronaldo sat on the ground, covering his face, with a painful look on his face.

"C Ronaldo worked too hard, he almost flew up just now."

"It may be beyond the limit," Li Zibing said.

"It's the most dangerous to sprain yourself without confrontation," Liu Jianhong said.

"I hope Ronaldo is okay," Li Zibing said sincerely. For this kind of top star, if you love football, you will respect him.

Fernando Santos has rich experience. He knew that it was not good when he saw the whole process of Ronaldo's injury. Ronaldo's leg strength is greater than that of ordinary people, which means that he will be hit more when he pushes his limit.

Fernando Santos has already called Edel, the hero of the lore, to his side, planning for the worst in his heart.

Liu Jianhong and Li Zibing were also silent, and the court was also quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ronaldo. No one wanted to see Mr. Golden Ball get injured in the first group match.

The referee also ran over, a big name is a big name, the referee did not let Ronaldo leave the field quickly, but asked about the injury.

After a long 5 minutes, everything was resolved.

"The team doctor is gesturing for a substitution. No. 9 Edel is ready to play," Liu Jianhong said.

The audience burst into applause, regardless of each other, and the Chinese fans also stood up and applauded Ronaldo farewell. Fortunately, Ronaldo walked off the field by himself instead of being dragged off. It seems that his injury is not serious.

Quaresma ran past, Nani ran past.

Zhou Dun ran over, and Chen Gelin also ran over.

Everyone high-fived Ronaldo, hoping that this is not Ronaldo's farewell to the World Cup, and hoping that he can still run on the court in the next game.

Li Guo also came over, "Is it serious?"

Ronaldo forced a smile, "It's okay, thank you."

Substitution for Portugal, No. 9 Eder enters.

Although Edel is not particularly famous, everyone who has watched the European Cup knows him. His ground-breaking volley from outside the penalty area shattered the French team's European Cup dream and sent Portugal to the championship for the first time.

Yin Di and Li Heng exchanged glances, "Damn, another one is black and hard."

Portugal still has a lot of black players in this country, and their level is not low. If Edel plays, then Portugal is the way of Huashan - smash!Smash it hard!
Li Guo also called out Feng Xiaoting and Gao Zhunyi. Li Heng and Yin Di had already been abused by Ronaldo terribly. Now that another Edel came, Li Guo was afraid that his central defender would not be able to hold on.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Li Guo asked about the physical condition of the central defender, and both Li Heng and Yin Di said there was no problem.

Li Guo hesitated, and did not change for the time being, after all, it would be difficult to adapt to the atmosphere of the stadium after replacing with a new player.

Nani made a 45-degree pass, and the ball was aimed at Edel in the penalty area. Although Yin Di and Li Heng were stubborn, but their physical fitness was really weak, Edel got rid of the ball easily, jumped up in front of the penalty area and hit the goal with a header.

The players on the Portuguese bench all stood up. The goal looked like it was about to be scored, but... Edel was not Ronaldo after all, and the speed at the top of the ball was rather slow.

The player on the Portuguese bench kicked the lawn, thinking: "If Ronaldo is still there, would this goal have been scored?"

When the Portuguese players were annoyed, Wang Dalei got up and threw the ball with his hands to attack.

"No, run back," Moutinho yelled.

But the ball was passed by two feet, and it reached Chen Gelin's feet. The Chinese team's fast break exceeded Portugal's imagination.

Chen Gelin faced Pepe, piercing his crotch. After all, Pepe was old and couldn't keep up with Chen Gelin in speed.

"Chen Gelin is extraordinary," Liu Jianhong was excited. He seemed to see the possibility of scoring a goal. "Keep cutting in."

After Chen Gelin rushed over, he volleyed directly before Wundt's replacement. The ball was volleyed heavily. Patricio reached out to block, and the ball passed through Patricio's fingertips.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Come in, come in, come in!" Liu Jianhong had already started to roar.

The Chinese team led 3 to 1!
Li Guo has already jumped up. At this time, he is completely released. The first victory of the Chinese team in the World Cup has finally come. After 8 years, it is finally here.

The players on the field huddled together to celebrate this hard-won goal, which is likely to be a goal that sealed the victory.

After Ronaldo left the field, Portugal seemed to have lost its backbone. This also gave the Chinese team a chance. The Portuguese coach Fernando Santos lost his composure and became anxious.

Coming out of the bench is the Portuguese No. 10-Joao Mario, an organizational midfielder, who moved to Inter Milan after the European Cup.

Fernando Santos submitted a request for a substitution, and the Portuguese team is about to make a substitution.
