Chapter 325 Rui Costa's Iron Tree Blooms

There is a saying in the Portuguese team, called: Rui Costa iron tree blossoms, Portugal must win.

What does this mean?That is to say, although Rui Costa is a super midfield organizer, his shooting ability is very weak. As a midfielder, he can hardly score a goal in a year. When Rui Costa scored in the Portuguese team, or even in the club Fiorentina, as long as he scored in the game, whether it was Portugal or Fiorentina, the game would definitely win on the spot.This is the so-called, Rui Costa iron tree blossoms, the origin of the Portuguese team's inevitable victory.In fact, not only the Portuguese team, but also the Fiorentina team. However, because Rui Costa has a strong patriotism and has played countless classic games on behalf of Portugal, this sentence is included in the jokes related to the Portuguese team. There will be more spread.

I have also heard of such situations.Therefore, I also once said to our defense players that we must focus on defending Rui Costa.Judging from the current effect, our defensive players have no way to really limit Rui Costa, but it is possible to limit Rui Costa's kick shot.At least within 10 minutes of the first half, Rui Costa didn't have a single shot.He has been using the pass to involve our defense line. His pass is certainly ghostly, but he didn't take a single shot, which means that he himself didn't get many opportunities.

This time, the Portuguese team once again served in midfield.Rui Costa passed the ball to Nuno Gomez, after Nuno Gomez got the ball, he started to break forward, but in front of him was the defense of several of our players, Nuno Gomez It was difficult to break through at once, so he turned around and passed the ball back to Rui Costa's feet.

So Rui Costa began his own personal attack.Although his shooting is not good, whether it is dribbling or passing, he is among the top in the world, and the cooperation between him and Luis Figo is also very remarkable.As a player on the right, Luis Figo and Rui Costa, a central player, passed multiple times within 30 meters of the wing, passing Maric and Giarni and other wide players, and then he quickly It got close to our bottom line on the wing and passed the ball to Luis Figo. Figo made a deep pass. Nuno Gomez in the middle responded with a header, but was blocked by Simic on our back line. out.

As a striker, Nuno Gomez is not very tall, and heading the ball is not his strong point.But Luis Figo made a cross from the wing, and he could only use the header to attack the goal.The most important thing is that our defender Simic has undergone training in the gravity training room, and his physical fitness has been greatly improved. In the competition for the top, he has an absolute advantage. It's not his opponent at all.

However, the Portuguese team invested a lot of troops in the offense, and their midfielders, like locusts, overwhelmed our half.The ball from Simic's header soon fell into the control of the Portuguese team. A midfielder of the Portuguese team passed the ball to Rui Costa. After receiving the ball, Rui Costa started to move forward again. advance.Luis Figo also came back to assist him, and the two Portuguese midfielders, Gemini, once again played possession and pressed towards our defense line!
So our two attacking midfielders Boban and Prosinecki were once again forced to shrink their defense.It is not an easy task for them to face Rui Costa and Luis Figo, two powerful opponents.Boban and Prosinecki pushed towards Rui Costa and Luis Figo respectively, their main idea was to keep the two main ball holders at bay just like me and Boksic did just now take the ball.But the pressing between me and Boksic was based on the fact that everyone else was in a defensive posture. At that time, the Portuguese team's offense, except for Luis Figo and Rui Costa, was actually affected by our other players. Player's defense.Our other players can defend the rest of the Portuguese team, and the addition of me and Boksic is an extra strength.Today, Boksic and I are still on the forward line. Boban and Prosinecki want to force Rui Costa and Luis Figo on their own. It is even more difficult!
As a result, when Boban went to defend Rui Costa, he was directly passed by Rui Costa. Rui Costa used his gorgeous dribbling skills to pass Boban cleanly.Boban's skills are not bad, but his defensive ability is still far behind Rui Costa's offensive ability.Boban is an offensive player after all. If he had been to Rui Costa, maybe Rui Costa would have been clean by him. However, he used his offensive ability on defense. In one-on-one defense, he really couldn't deal with Rui Costa.

Rui Costa, after passing Boban, soon came near the top of our penalty area.At this time, Simic rushed up. He wanted to quickly defend Rui Costa and prevent him from passing the ball as he wanted in the penalty area.

However, Simic missed one aspect. What he missed was a fatal thing...

Rui Costa made a direct Marseille turn, passed Simic, and then kicked directly on the spot, making a very beautiful arc——

Simic has calculated everything, but he only defended Rui Costa's pass, but he did not guard Rui Costa's possible dribble, let alone defended Rui Costa's shot!As a result, Rui Costa, who rarely scores goals, actually hit a very beautiful arc shot... This shot was like a rainbow, flying to the upper left corner of our goal... This ball, the speed It was fast, the angle was tricky, and the rotation was very violent. Our goalkeeper Latic flew out to save with all his strength, but in the end he was powerless, and the ball finally went into the net...

2:1, the Portuguese team recovered a goal, at the same time, the referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.

I saw Rui Costa's goal and suddenly froze—

I think of the legend, the legend that the Rui Costa iron tree blooms and Portugal is bound to win.

It is said that although it is very strange and mysterious, in history, Rui Costa scored a goal in the game and did achieve a complete victory. Such a thing, no matter from which aspect, is chilling.Now, in this game, Rui Costa scored another goal for the Portuguese team. Although we still lead 2:1, no one can tell what happened next.

what to do?In case Portugal can really reverse, how will we respond?In this way, don't we just have to pray that the Danish team can't beat Turkey?
I thought about the agreement with Schmeichel.No matter what, I will abide by this agreement, I will definitely beat the Portuguese team...
