Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 436: 2 shots and 1 pass, World Cup final! (page 12)

“Oh No~”

Pickford, who made the save, looked at the football that was still several centimeters away, his eyes full of despair, and his heart was roaring hysterically.

The next second, the entire Luzhniki Stadium was boiling.

The passionate Portuguese fans and the neutral fans who joined in the fun roared loudly.

After scoring the goal, Martin stood there and lifted up his left shorts, revealing his strong and powerful thigh muscles.

Ronaldo, who sent a key header assist, Guedes in the penalty area, B Seat, B Fee, William Carvalho, Guerrero and other Portuguese players outside the penalty area, ran towards Martin crazily in a fanatical atmosphere.

Santos, who was standing in the technical area directed by the home team coach, raised his arms and shouted, and then hugged the assistant coach who stepped forward to celebrate the goal and Quaresma, who was about to come on as a substitute.

Not far away, England head coach Southgate stood in the technical command area with his mouth pursed and an extremely heavy look on his face.

The aura of fanaticism that hit his face kept attacking, and his mood was extremely bad.

The England players in the warm-up area and on the bench could not hide their pain.

The game came to the end of the game, and the score difference once again widened to two goals, which meant that there was a high probability that nothing could be done.

The live broadcast restored the entire process of the goal. Judging from the footage close to the entire England defensive half, Portugal's offense was very three-dimensional, with well-organized passing and movement. Each player's movement was very dynamic and gave way to the goal. The English players on the pitch were all elusive.

Since Martin was responsible for offensive organization and stabilizing the rhythm for a period of time after Moutinho came off the field, serving as the metronome and card dealer, his position was relatively low, which caused Martin to suddenly accelerate and be unmarked.

Defensive players in football matches often pay more attention to the players holding the ball and potentially receiving the ball with a high probability.

As for the midfield and backfield organizational players responsible for distributing cards, they are often selectively ignored.

"The 12th goal of this World Cup!"

The excited CCTV commentator He Wei said eloquently: "There is only the last goal left to reach the record of 5 goals in a single World Cup set by the legendary French star Juste Fontaine in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden! The game is not over yet, he Will he wear the hat in one fell swoop?”

"Based on the current situation, it's very possible."

Commentator Xu Yang said loudly: "Martin is in hot form now! The two consecutive goals scored in this game were scored with his non-dominant left foot. If the ball can be passed to his right foot, I want to follow his hot foot. The feeling on your feet is totally possible.”

The vast majority of Dragon Country fans in front of the TV were proud and ecstatic about Martin's performance in the World Cup.

The inaction of the dismissed former FA executives led to Martin's unexpected return home, but what happened cannot be changed. All they can do is continue to cheer for Martin.

The most important thing is that Martin has stated in public many times that no matter which country his passport says, it cannot change the fact that he is from the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, he represented Portugal in the World Cup just for the dream of his late adoptive father.

In life, you have to do something.

BBC Sports commentator Lineker sighed: "It can now be officially announced that Portugal has reached the World Cup finals in history. They will still compete with France for the World Cup championship in this stadium four days later! The two teams also met again after meeting in the European Cup final in France two years ago."

"Martin's super scoring ability has been fully revealed. He contributed 12 goals in just six games. It is simply a fairy tale super performance! Absolute personal heroism!! Juste Fontaine's record is right in front of you. I just don’t know whether to tie or break this record in this game or... in the final!"

Mourinho, who served as the guest commentator, joked.

"..."

Lineker glanced sideways at Mourinho and expressed his dissatisfaction in a small way.

Deschamps, the French coach in the audience, pushed down the hat on his head, stood up and left his seat.

The goal in the 87th minute meant that Portugal killed the game and the rest of the game became garbage time.

There is no point in staying and watching.

It's better to leave early to avoid the trouble of leaving when the venue is overcrowded.

The broadcast screen soon returned to the scene at the Luzhniki Stadium. Captains Ronaldo and Martin had finished their goal celebrations and were speaking solemnly to other Portuguese players.

Whether they are fans at the scene or fans in front of the TV, they all know that they are instilling in their teammates that they must take the game seriously to expand the score, and the winning result cannot be realized until the end of the game.

Before the game restarted again, England once again made adjustments to its personnel.

Loftus-Cheek came on for Ashley Young, who was in need of physical strength.

Portugal also made adjustments accordingly.

Quaresma, who was originally going to play, was called back. Adrian Silva replaced Guedes to strengthen the defense in the middle. The formation changed again, from a 442 parallel midfield position to a 433 variant of the 4321 formation. .

Adrian Silva, Martin and William Carvalho serve as the three midfielders, B Fee and B seat B serve as the attacking midfielders, and Ronaldo returns to the front of the striker.

This adjustment not only ensures a compact defense in the middle, but also leaves room for counterattacks.

When the game restarted, it was already the 3th minute, and the scoreboard showed Portugal 1: England.

The English, who won the right to kick off, decided to fight for the last time. If they could narrow the point difference before the end of regular game time, they would still have a chance to equalize the score in stoppage time.

But when the time comes to this stage, why don't the Portuguese players know what England wants to do?

While retaining Ronaldo as a counterattack point, it also ensures the tightness of the overall defense.

Henderson, who suppressed Harry Kane and dealt cards, restricted the crossers on both wings, and the defense became simpler.

With time running out, Maguire and Stones both ran forward and acted as center forwards with Harry Kane and Vardy.

Long passes and lobs are the England's best attacking method.

Trippier received the ball from Chik at 45 degrees on the right rib and passed it directly. Martin, who retreated to the middle of the penalty area, jumped up high and beat Maguire and Harry Kane to top the ball. restricted area.

Seat B kicked the ball towards the opponent's half regardless of the situation.

Ronaldo, who was at the front, saw that the landing point was far away and his position was blocked by Kyle Walker, but he did not give up, but ran forward to limit the opponent's ball.

B Fee, who came on the bench, ran towards Henderson, who was responsible for delivering the ball.

For this reason, Kyle Walker, who got the football, did not dare to hold the ball easily. He handed it directly to the goalkeeper Pickford in the defensive half.

Cristiano Ronaldo still didn't stop. He turned around while rubbing Kyle Walker's body and continued to press forward.

"aoaaoaooooooooo——"

Portuguese fans and neutral fans at the Luzhniki Stadium shouted hysterically to cheer for the 33-year-old veteran Cristiano Ronaldo.

Some England fans were also moved.

Feeling the excitement, Pickford did not dare to make any mistakes. He drove the ball towards the Portuguese defensive half.
