football's most handsome

Cristiano is indeed the nightmare of many midfielders.

When he was sprinting with the ball on the court, almost no one could keep up with his footsteps. Gala tried to force himself to keep up, but he was thrown directly behind him, almost twisting his own footsteps, and many people saw it subconsciously All want to feel sorry for him.

However, Cristiano obviously didn't just let him go that easily. Gala clearly staggered and almost fell down, but just when he was about to catch up, Cristiano turned around and smiled at him, Then he spread his football.

Galla stared into Cristiano's eyes like he wanted to kill.

Cristiano couldn't help laughing, the bad boy obviously felt that he had done a good job at the moment, and he blinked at him cheerfully, which made him very angry.

The person who received the ball was Deco. After receiving the football, he directly transferred the football to the right in a large range. Tower, he even froze for a moment and missed the ball.

In the 14th minute, France started its own counterattack, but France was obviously in the same predicament as Portugal - both of them felt the pressure from the other side, Portugal's midfield was not weak in defense, France wanted to Scoring goals is not so easy.

Zidane directly made a short pass, allowing Abbydale to hold the ball. He quickly made a low pass from the left, and the football slid past the goal. Ricardo turned his head in horror. He almost thought he was going to cause a catastrophe!

—However, to his relief, Henry didn't touch the ball and the football slid away.

No.16 minutes, Miguel made a low pass from the right, Figo seized this opportunity, he directly shot low with his left foot, but Butters fell to the ground and hugged the football in his arms.

However, Figo still had some problems-he collided with Vieira who was chasing back.

Vieira's physique is definitely the stronger one. When the two collided, Figo fell directly to the ground with a very painful expression.

Juan and Scolari rushed out almost at the same time, but were stopped by the rest of the coaching staff.

"Wait, don't go to the coach to calm down!"

"Juan don't go, a yellow card is not worth it, you still have to wait to play!"

The two quickly calmed down, looked at each other and took a deep breath.

Scolari was silent for a while, anxiously waiting for the signal from the referee. As soon as there was a signal, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Team doctor, take the stretcher!"

Scolari is obviously very anxious, especially Figo seems to be in pain... If he is injured and can't hold on at this time, Scolari can only let Figo off and replace Hu It's settled.

This is not what he wants to do... If he is passively replaced, all his plans will be disrupted afterwards!

Figo was quickly greeted, and the team doctor squeezed his shoulder blades nervously beside him. Scolari took the opportunity to ask: "How do you feel?"

Figo's expression was not very good-looking, but he quickly took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "It's a bit dislocated, just connect it."

"It's good to straighten the bone a little bit, but it will hurt..." The team doctor was interrupted before he finished speaking. Figo closed his eyes and said, "Quick!"

With a tooth-piercing click, Scolari subconsciously shifted his gaze, but the next second he noticed that Juan didn't make any movements, his eyes were fixed on Figo, and the blue eyes reflected The man was sweating profusely, still gritting his teeth and persevering without saying a word, silent for a long time.

The meaning of this game is deeper than he himself thought.

Especially for Figo, this may already be his last World Cup, so at this time he almost put out all his energy and energy to fight desperately.

Really has reached the point of desperate.

Juan took a deep breath and pushed away the team doctors in front of him.

Figo's arm has been fished back. Although his expression is not very good-looking now, he has indeed returned to normal movements. When he saw Juan walking in front of him, he grinned subconsciously: "Hey, don't It’s so serious, it’s normal to have collisions in the game.”

"I know." Juan replied calmly—but at this moment, he was too calm, and just talking like this made people feel a little confused about what to do.

Figo was obviously also a little uncomfortable. After all, when Juan spoke in this tone, he was usually in a bad mood, but Figo still knew why he was in such a mood...

However, Figo is also very clear that Juan will not tell him such things as "don't work so hard when you are older, and it is more important to think about your body a little bit". After all, this is football, and anyone can understand it.

It is precisely because I know that I can't say it, so I feel even more unhappy.

Figo knew it, so he raised his hand and rubbed Juan's head in a rare way, took a deep breath and smiled: "Don't be like this Juan, I'm still waiting for us to win the La Liga championship next season."

Juan obviously didn't expect him to say that. He was stunned and then smiled: "There is only one La Liga champion? You are too unpursuant."

Figo laughed, then turned to look at the court: "I'm going back."

"Are you all right?" Juan asked.

"Of course!"

Figo quickly returned to the court, and the action was so fast that even the Portuguese players were taken aback. After all, everyone saw the painful expression when Figo left the field. Portugal's The fans obviously didn't expect that after a moment of silence, there was prolonged applause on the court.

For Portugal's ever-unyielding captain, Luis Figo. '

After returning to the court, Figo immediately devoted himself to his work. In the 201st minute of the game, Henry crossed to the right in the middle and wanted to shoot 20 meters in front of the goal. Valente immediately blocked it. For this ball, Figo received his pass, but was intercepted by Ribery while advancing, and the ball was exchanged again.

In the 27th minute, Zidane broke through the front of the penalty area and fell to the ground. The person who collided with him was Figo, but the referee did not interrupt the game. However, Figo did not look very good when he got up.

Cristiano and other players protested to the referee. They believed that Zidane should get a yellow card for diving, but the referee did not respond to this.

Portugal obviously had nothing to do about this, but the performance of the French team soon made them forget about this issue.

In the 28th minute, Henry went in and tricked Miguel with continuous fake moves on the left side. The instep of his right foot seemed to pass and shoot, but in the end he chose to shoot. The goal was caught by Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo. .

"Before the start of the game, we joked that if Pauleta and Henry switched positions, the balance between the two teams might be much more balanced... However, judging from Henry's performance in this game, in fact, this may not be enough for Portugal. fair."

"Besides, the Portuguese players performed very well. They didn't intend to give Zidane or Henry a chance at all!"

In the 33rd minute, Henry received a short pass from Malouda on the edge of the penalty area. He seemed to want to hit the Sky Sports anchor in the face, and almost immediately changed the line and crossed the ball with the instep of his right foot. Obviously he wanted to come up with a simple and easy move. violent shot.

Carvalho stepped up to stop him—in fact, it was voted one of the dumbest moves of the game.

He stretched out his right foot to clear the siege, but he kicked empty. The Portuguese defender lost his balance. Seriously, it appears to be a human leg.

The ear-piercing whistle sounded, and as Henry fell to the ground, the referee raised his hand solemnly to signal.

penalty!

This is definitely bad news for Portugal.

There are many players in the French team who are good at penalty kicks, and many of them are masters in this area. This can be said to be the exact opposite of England, so Scolari has already emphasized a lot at the beginning Second-rate.

Don't give France a single set-piece chance.

Even if it is a corner kick, try to avoid it!

Now, they will prove Scolari right by conceding a goal.

Zidane reaches the penalty spot.

With just one step in his run-up, the maestro is clearly confident in taking penalties and he knows how to send them straight into the net.

When the whistle sounded, he stepped forward with his right foot and shot the lower left corner, and the football rushed towards the goal like an arrow off the string!

Ricardo judged the right direction, but he was a step too slow, and the football almost flew into the net by rubbing his fingertips.

"Gooooal!! Zidanzo Zidane!! The Gallic Rooster has obviously gained the upper hand in this battle, we can see that the French are very excited now, because the door of the final has opened a gap in front of them Come on France team, Italy is waiting for you to move forward!"

"In the last game, Zidane assisted Henry to score, and in this game Henry immediately repaid Zidane's assist with a penalty kick. The two master players of the French team cherish each other at this moment, and Zidane With the goals scored in this game, he tied Fontaine and Papin with 30 goals and became the No.4 in the French history scoring list!"

There was a tsunami of cheers from the audience area in France. Most people jumped up and sang Zidane's name. Many people even started to cry and shouted God bless France at this moment.

Portugal was somewhat silent.

For this conceded goal, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts. Scolari looked at the time, and then looked back at the bench.

Juan Diaz sat there like a statue.

The same as him is Nani sitting on the side, but Nani is very anxious, it seems that he wants to rush to the field to replace them, or to save the situation with them, but he can only sit here at this time Tighten your fist.

Scolari took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.

It's not time yet, it's not time to use the trump card yet.

Juan didn't say anything, in fact he didn't even glance in Scolari's direction, but he also knew what he needed now and what he was most likely to face.

And what will he face when he plays.

The Portuguese players seem to be getting impatient.

In the 306th minute of the game, Deco chose a low shot with his right foot from 32 meters in front of the goal. This approach obviously did not conform to his usual style. Butters did not expect Deco to choose such a shot In a straightforward manner, the football almost fell out of his hands. Fortunately, his old experience helped him to hold the football in his hands without causing an accident.

In the 37th minute, Figo made a pass from the right to Cristiano. Cristiano jumped to the top and tried to score a goal. However, he failed and fell to the ground. Many Portuguese players raised their hands. Signal to the referee that there is a problem.

"Sir, Sagnol, defending Cristiano, has a hand behind Cristiano's back!"

"Referee, he deserves a yellow card!"

However, the referee didn't pay attention to the Portuguese people's intentions. Scolari was a little dissatisfied, turned around and muttered a few words, and then looked in Juan's direction.

No. 309 minutes, Cristiano took the ball again. He was one of the people who ran the most in Portugal in this game, and he was also one of the key targets of France, but the marking of these people could only arouse his vigor heart only.

You know, Cristiano Ronaldo never admit defeat.

He almost directly broke through the defense of the two French teams with a tough posture, which is even a bit easy for him. Although he is not very good in terms of physical confrontation, as long as he has a little flexibility in his foot skills, There will be very few people who can stop him, not even Gallas and Ribery.

After dribbling the ball to a suitable angle in front of the goal, he did not choose to pass the ball, but did the same behavior as Deco-shooting, but this time Butters still did not give him any chance, but directly Block the football out of the bottom line.

Cristiano was indeed desperate enough. He knew that there would be another time when he failed this time, so he took the ball and broke through at high speed, as if he wanted to score the most direct goal. However, this time, his volley went wide out of range of the goal post.

Cristiano seemed to find this incredible. His expression was full of anxiety, and he was frustrated that he failed to do anything to survive the entire first half.

During the intermission, Cristiano muttered that he must practice shooting after returning to Manchester United.

He has wasted several opportunities in 10 minutes!

Juan glanced at him: "Yes, yes, after all, your talent in shooting is still very high..."

"Your expression tells me that you still have a 'but' after that." Cristiano was very serious.

"Yes." Juan nodded, "But at least it's too late now, isn't it?"

"I know..." Cristiano was a little discouraged, "Actually, I think our attack power is pretty good."

"Compared with the other side, it's a little insufficient." Figo admitted with a sigh. The captain of Portugal was pinching his shoulder at this moment. Juan looked worried: "Figo, are you really okay?"

Figo smiled and said, "Do I look like I have something to do?...Actually, it's a little uncomfortable, but it's okay to persevere until the end."

Juan nodded, then looked at Scolari who was coming in from the outside.

Scolari's expression was a little heavy. After all, such a goal in the first half was not within his expectations, but since the goal had already been produced, he would not scold him any more, but took a deep breath and said : "We will have a difficult next game, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

However, at the beginning of the second half of the game, Portugal had a problem-Figo made a mistake in returning the pass, and the French team had the ball under their feet!

Henry became a little active after the goal in the first half. He controlled the football under his feet, accelerated to break through Mela while walking, and then directly shot low from a small angle in front of the goal!

Ricardo fell to the ground to block, which made many Portuguese break out in a cold sweat. This goal almost became a new goal again - if it hadn't touched Ricardo's left arm Just a word.

The football slowly rolled out of the near post, and the Portuguese fans stared at it until it crossed the line.

Portugal's goal kick, Ricardo chose left and right, and finally passed the ball to Cristiano's feet, hoping that he would bring a breakthrough or something, but instead Cristiano brought quite a shock.

When he dribbled the ball, he seemed to want to make a heel pass, but this time the opponent was obviously ready, and their teammate was Zidane, who already knew this kind of tricks. Heart, so the football was cut off from Cristiano's feet, and then France started their counterattack again.

Zidane knocked back the football on the left side, Malouda crossed the ball directly into the middle after receiving the ball, Ribery turned around and volleyed vigorously with his right foot after receiving the ball! !

Ricardo, who had just rested for less than a minute, jumped high again and lifted the football out of the crossbar with one hand!

"Portuguese fans must be on a roller coaster at this moment... In fact, it is true. There are frequent setbacks in front of the goal, and at this moment the rear is always threatened. No wonder the Portuguese players can't calm down at this time. gone."

Indeed, at this time, it is not just a young man like Cristiano who is not calm anymore, in fact, even Figo will make various mistakes.

For example, when grabbing the ball 2 minutes later, Figo made a very impulsive action-he raised his foot and kicked the sole of his foot directly on Abbydale's face.

The referee didn't seem to see this scene, so he didn't show his cards. Otherwise, Figo would accumulate yellow cards and be suspended. In this way, even if the Portuguese team reached the final, Figo would not have the chance to play.

"The devil Figo finally showed his true nature. We can see that Abbydale's expression was a bit painful, but he quickly returned to normal. Figo himself doesn't seem to have any apologies for this... no Not to mention, the impulsive Figo is like a devil!"

But Figo is their captain after all, so he calmed down quickly. In the 53rd minute of the game, he made a direct pass from the left. Pauletta understood his captain's intentions this time. It was to stop the ball quickly, then protect the football at his feet, turn around and get rid of Thuram who was marking him and volley directly!

The football hit the net and caused a wave!

"It's a pity! The ball was hit on the side net. At this moment, Pauletta is also very annoyed. He seems to be out of shape in this year's World Cup... Does this mean that the rookies have a chance?"

In the 55th minute, France once again got an excellent chance to counterattack. Ribery, who caught the opportunity, ran for most of the pitch and then made a pass from the left. Zidane did not make any adjustments at all, and directly volleyed the football Pad to Henry on the right.

Henry received the ball smoothly, but the ball was given slightly forward, and the French striker lost his shot directly.

In the 58th minute, Miguel broke through Abidale from the right and made another effort to put the ball to Pauleta - but because of this pass, he and Abidale fought together, causing his own leg injury. fell to the ground.

He seemed to be injured a little seriously, and he couldn't even stand up. After making it clear that he couldn't persist in the game, Scolari sighed, turned his head to look at the bench, and turned his eyes around Juan. Then he looked at Paul: "Paul, go straight to the court and warm up."

Paul Ferreira was obviously a little surprised, but he quickly nodded and got up and took off his substitute vest.

During the short period of the substitution, Figo also "revenged his companion" very loyally. His cross hit Abbydale's head, although it was Abbydale himself. He wanted to use his head to chase and intercept this cross, but in the end he reaped the fruit of his own pain and quietly went out for treatment.

Domenech and Scolari obviously didn't expect that one person would come down from both sides in such a short time. The two looked at each other and turned to look at the bench at the same time.

Domenech directly adjusted his two full-backs, Wiltord replaced Malouda, and Govou replaced Ribery. Obviously, these two veterans may not be able to keep up with the fast-paced play that follows.

Here in Portugal, Scolari first replaced Pauletta with Postiga, then fell silent for a while, then turned to look at Juan: "Now?"

Juan nodded: "Right now."
