Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Cristiano Ronaldo scored Portugal's fourth goal in the second minute of stoppage time, turning the score into 2:4.

With three minutes left in injury time, it meant that Croatia, which was three goals behind, had only a theoretical possibility.

But there is a high probability that theoretical things will not become reality, especially when the opponent is Portugal, the favorite to win the championship.

Even though the Croatians have an iron will and never give up easily, the cruel reality is before them and they cannot escape.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

The remaining less than three minutes of injury time became completely garbage time. Until the referee Richie sounded the end of the game, the scoreboard still showed 4:1.

"competition is over!"

"competition is over!!"

"After conceding a goal first, Portugal relied on Chinese player Martin's hat trick and assists to defeat Croatia 4:1 at Fisht Stadium in Sochi, becoming the last team to advance to the semi-finals of the World Cup! They We will compete with England for a place in the finals at the Luzhniki Stadium in four days’ time!”

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "This is a carnival day for the Portuguese, and it is also our carnival day. The Chinese player Martin contributed 10 goals and 4 assists in this World Cup, and is the biggest contributor to Portugal's advancement to the semi-finals! If his outstanding performance can continue, he will lead Portugal to the first World Cup championship in team history!"

"Portugal scored a staggering 18 goals in the five games before the semi-finals, breaking the record of 2002 goals scored in the first five games by Brazil in the 15 World Cup. The Chinese player Martin was directly involved in 14 goals, which is worthy of the name. Portuguese thighs.”

Guest commentator Xu Yang gave impassioned commentary.

"aooaoaoaoooooooo——"

"Martin! Martin! Martin!!!"

The auditorium of Fisht Stadium was filled with huge cheers from Portuguese fans and the vast majority of fans.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was particularly excited in the fanatical atmosphere. He kept raising his arms and shouting something, obviously venting his ecstasy of reaching the World Cup semi-finals after 12 years.

Martin, who led Portugal to the semi-finals, was just waving to his adoptive mother Clara Anna in the VIP area facing the audience.

Of course, there were also Savannah Blade’s entire family accompanying them.

The reporters in the mixed area at the scene almost all focused their cameras on the smiling Martin.

Everyone knows that without Martin's outstanding performance, Portugal would not be able to reach the semi-finals.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said with high spirits: "Martin has scored 10 goals in this World Cup. He can almost book the Golden Boot in advance, and even has the opportunity to hit the single World Cup created by the legendary French star Juste Fontaine. 13-goal opportunity!”

The Croatian players who lost the match collapsed on the ground and shook their heads after hearing the final whistle.

Not long after, the Portuguese players, who were celebrating their promotion, took the initiative to find the dejected Croatian players and comforted them.

Many players on both sides are teammates in the club, and the relationship is very good, so naturally they have something to say.

Martin has no club relationship with the Croatian players, but he also took the initiative to comfort his opponents.

Had it not been for his intervention, Croatia, led by Modric, would have not only reached the semifinals again after twenty years, but also historically advanced to the finals in accordance with the normal course of history.

Hugs were exchanged and jerseys were exchanged.

At the same time, Martin, who performed extremely well on major social platforms around the world, once again ranked among the top three most searched.

With the end of the World Cup quarter-finals between Portugal and Croatia, the World Cup has entered a three-day intermission.

Waiting for such a time interval makes the fans waiting for the semifinals feel like their days are like years.

The Portuguese team, which advanced to the semi-finals, took a flight to Moscow the next morning to prepare for the semi-finals with England.

The England team coached by Southgate is inferior to Portugal in terms of lineup strength except for a few positions. Many positions can be said to be crushing.

But what determines the outcome of a football game is often not the strength of the lineup, but the team's overall performance in the game and the coach's behind-the-scenes fighting skills.

Portugal did not even make it into the top five in terms of total value. Spain and Brazil, the top three, were eliminated in the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals respectively. This means that there is not much connection between the results and the strength of the lineup. It can only be used as a reference. .

In addition, in terms of personal worth rankings, Martin is far ahead.

The Portuguese team arrived in Moscow and received a warm welcome from local and long-awaited Portuguese and neutral fans. The domestic arrival gate of the international airport was overcrowded, and the loud cheers continued for a long time.

Fortunately, the organizers were well prepared and had targeted plans.

While maintaining a fanatical atmosphere, it will not affect the normal travel of other passengers.

The Portuguese players, led by Martin and Ronaldo, smiled and waved to the enthusiastic fans as they did in the past, thanking them for their full support.

The Portuguese players naturally responded with even more enthusiastic cheers.

As the event reaches the semi-finals, time becomes increasingly tight and the intermission period naturally becomes shorter.

葡萄牙从1/8决赛到1/4决赛有六天时间准备，但是结束1/4决赛到半决赛之间却只有四天。

Fortunately, under the leadership of Martin, the battle ended within 90 minutes, and the physical exertion was almost the same as that of England, which also won the game in 90 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that the distance traveled by the two teams to fly to Moscow. Portugal from Sochi is farther than England from Samara, about 700 kilometers longer, which means the flight time is at least an hour longer.
