[Football] Crown of Thorns

During the intermission, Gama called the team doctor directly.

Team doctor Henry walked up to Ronaldo with a medical kit and squatted down, "Take off your shoes."

Ronaldo blinked with an innocent expression on his face, "I'm not hurt..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Jia Ma sneer twice, "Do you want me to help, Captain~"

Uh, the face of his midfielder Xiao Xiko was really scary, so even the captain quickly took off his sneakers without saying a word.

At the beginning of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo's right instep was stepped on by the opponent's player in the scramble. At that time, there was no serious problem in the inspection, but at the end of the first half, the free kick with his weak foot made Gama feel that there must be something wrong. No, after taking off his shoes and socks, Ronaldo can already see obvious bruises on the back of his right leg.

"Not hurt?"

Jia Ma folded his arms and sneered.

Ronaldo said with a childish flat mouth, "It doesn't hinder the game."

"Oh, so free kicks don't have power."

Jia Ma is not forgiving.

"Cristiano."

Coach Bento looked worriedly at the team doctor dealing with Ronaldo's injury, "Is there really no problem?"

"real……"

Ronaldo's voice fell under Gama's stare, but he still nodded firmly, "It's okay to play the game, it's just a skin injury."

Although he is very angry, Gama also knows his captain's temper. It doesn't matter if you make jokes with him or even "bully" him, but as long as it is about the game, C Ronaldo's attitude is that unless he can't stand up completely, otherwise Will definitely fight to the end.

The team doctor took care of the injury on Ronaldo's instep, lifted his bandaged foot up, and Ronaldo laughed a few times, "I have to change a pair of sneakers."

"Even if you are not injured, you often change your shoes in the middle of the game."

Gama said angrily.

Ronaldo blinked and flirted with everyone, "Look, Xiao Xico's aura is really getting stronger and stronger now."

"Ah!"

Looking at the gloomy expression on Jia Ma's face, the onlookers could only show a fake sympathetic smile.

Pointing at the group of teammates who like to join in the fun, Jia Ma sullenly said, "Be careful in the second half..."

The coach Bento, who was also watching on the sidelines: ...it feels the same with me or without me. This kid Xiko has really matured a lot~

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. The Russian coach Capello used the substitution quota first. He replaced the striker Faizulin with midfielder Grusakov.

It was still raining, and the artificial turf in the stadium had been trampled to the point where black mud was exposed everywhere. Although the staff had done simple cleaning during the intermission, the turf was generally in poor condition. The players on both sides were nervous.

"Everyone pay attention to your feet and be careful not to get hurt."

After receiving a reminder from the team staff, Bento, who was standing at the entrance of the passage, said this sentence to every player who came out.

Gama, who walked into the arena, bent down and touched the muddy ground. The water accumulated by the rain filled the small pits in the ground. At a glance, reflective water surfaces could be seen everywhere in the stadium.

The spikes worn in the first half have been cleaned, but the wet shoes are very uncomfortable to wear on the feet - there is no way most people only prepare a pair of spikes - only the captain of his family who loves to show off With so many pairs of sneakers, Ronaldo has shoes to change, but he doesn't.

Gama made a face and turned to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo wrinkled his nose and smirked back.

cut!

Gama rolled his eyes again.

Cristiano Ronaldo slapped Gama on the back with his short claws, "Goal!"

Gama: 罒ω罒 Oh!

At the beginning of the second half, the Russian team launched a fierce attack.

Cokerin dribbled the ball from the left all the way into the penalty area and shot directly from a small angle. Fortunately, the Portuguese goalkeeper Patricio focused and jumped up to save the ball.

Here, Gama, who was blue-faced by his teammate's mistake in the opening performance, widened his eyes and looked at Veloso gloomily.

No way, that guy Pepe doesn’t respond no matter how much you stare at him, Alves is an old man, he’s too embarrassed to stare at him... he can only stare at Veloso.

Ruben Mikael, who really made a mistake, shivered and stepped back a few meters quietly.

Veloso showed a bright smile, waved his hand, and didn't mind Gama's ghostly expression.

Ruben Mikael is so moved, Miguel is really amazing, not afraid of Chico.

Gama glanced around gloomyly, made a long pass gesture to Patricio, and turned back to signal his teammates to move.

Patricio, who was about to throw the ball, glanced at Pepe and Furtado who were smiling, shook his head helplessly, then ran two steps and kicked vigorously, and the football flew towards the center circle.

Gama raised his leg high, hooked the football with his toes, and at the same time turned around, dodged the opponent's player, and then crossed the sidewalk with his foot.

Furtado did not return the pass after responding from the side, but passed the ball directly in front of Nani. Nani took the ball all the way to the bottom line and then passed back. The football flew to Ronaldo who was inserted in the middle, but the Russian team No. 4 Ignashevich was the first to poke the ball out of the bottom line.

"The No. [-] of the Russian team performed very well in this game."

"Yes, he has successfully resolved the crisis ball several times..."

Portugal corner kick.

Nani ran to serve, he kicked a back point, Gama evaded the opponent's interception, volleyed and hit the goal directly.

His volley was blocked by the Russian team's No. 14 Berezuski with his body, and the heavy bang sound seemed to be heard in the audience.

There were exclamations in the stadium, and the referee Kasai immediately blew the timeout whistle.

He used his body to support Gama's volley, and he lay directly on the ground. After the football was hugged by the goalkeeper, Berezowski hadn't been able to get up.

"...The players sometimes kicked the ball very sharply in the game, and many players have suffered because of it. I remember there are records of heavy artillery injuries on the stadium..."

In the broadcast footage, many hosts began to talk about various data about injuries caused by being hit by a football shot during the game.

On the court, Gama ran over. He wanted to see the situation, but he was pushed away by the Russian players as soon as he walked over.

"Hello!"

Pepe growled loudly.

The tall Russian players also pushed over unceremoniously, muttering something, but no one in Portugal understood what they were saying.

The referee Kasai repeatedly made stop gestures at the players on both sides, and at the same time called the team doctor to enter the field.

Veloso, who was standing next to Gama, first asked Gama if there was anything wrong, and then whispered, "I said Hiko, is this the first time you have bombarded an opposing player?"

Jia Ma glared at him angrily, "I didn't mean to."

"Hehe~"

On the other side, Furtado stretched his neck and looked at the opponent who was being sprayed by the team doctor, "Shiko, I really didn't expect that you look thin, you are thin, and you have good feet!"

Jia Ma grimaced, not wanting to pay attention to these two bad friends who fell into trouble - he was not the villain Kean who would kick his opponent on purpose, was it an accident, okay?

After treatment, Berezusky stood up and continued the game, and the audience cheered for him.

Immediately after the two sides fought for the ball for several rounds in the Russian half, Gama passed the ball with one kick. Ruben Mikael, who had been very brave since the opening error, broke into the penalty area and shot with his right foot after receiving the ball. Higher than the beam.

Although he didn't make it in, his courage is really gratifying - Gama looked at him blankly, and Mikael shrank his head and turned and ran away.

After that, the Portuguese team strengthened their midfield control and firmly controlled the ball at their feet. Well, their ball possession rate must be very high according to the statistics after the game.

... High ball possession rate is a bullshit, if you can't win the game, that's bullshit!

Gama stared at Postiga and Moutinho coldly. Just now, these two guys had never tried to cut inside and then hit the goal. Instead, they directly took two long shots in the half court. The result was of course It is also obvious that their shots have also been higher than the goal.

Postiga looked back at Gama with the same blank expression, then turned his head and walked away.

Moutinho put his hands together and made an apologetic gesture.

At this time, a substitution card was played on the sidelines, and both sides changed players. Capello replaced the goal hero Korzakov with defender Yeshenko, and Bento replaced Ruben Mikael with striker Barrera.

"Looking at this, Capello is ready to continue to focus on defense."

"Well, as long as the Russian team draws in this game, they can maintain their advantage in qualifying~~"

"The Portuguese team has stepped up their offense. It seems that Bento doesn't want to advance equally with the Russian team!"

"Haha, which coach with a star like Ronaldo would be willing to end up with an equal score with his opponent. If you grab the points in the front, you can get out in an easier situation. It's more cost-effective in any way!"

"That's right~~"

…………

After the substitutions between the two sides, the Russian team played a beautiful attack.

First, Koklin knocked across the right, and Grusakov turned around and volleyed with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area. Fortunately, Patricio reacted and confiscated the ball in time.

Immediately afterwards, the Russian team played an exquisite short pass in the frontcourt. Grusakov went straight to the penalty area, but Shirokov's final shot failed to exert power and was hugged by Patricio.

At this time, Bento on the sidelines again issued a substitution instruction. The Portuguese team ran out of the last substitution, and Braga striker Ed replaced Postiga.

In the 75th minute of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo, who retreated slightly, grabbed the ball from the opponent's feet and dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area at high speed. The Russian team's No. 18 Bistrov chased back hard. After the two scuffled together, the football Kicked off the touchline.

Although this time the attack did not achieve results, the audience burst into applause.

Not only the Portuguese fans, but also the fans of the home team gave Ronaldo admiring applause.

No matter how the outside world criticizes Ronaldo, smears Ronaldo's so-called independence, or arrogance, etc., Ronaldo on the court will always be the player who works hard and never gives up. He is moved by his efforts at all costs. Countless people, no matter how discredited they are, cannot criticize his fighting spirit on the field.

A little disappointed, Ronaldo glanced at the player who was defending him with all his strength just now, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and raised his head when he heard the applause from the audience, with a bright smile on his face.

Gama gave Ronaldo a thumbs up.

Before he knew this person, he was also one of the people who followed the trend and said a few ironic words to mock the gossip. It wasn't until he met Ronaldo that he realized that all his previous opinions were wrong—cough, Hua Chinese media loves to discredit Ronaldo~

Regarding Gama's compliment, Ronaldo was obviously stunned for a moment, and his smile became even brighter.

The game continues.

Three minutes later, Gama made a successful pass. Cristiano Ronaldo took a long shot from the outside of the penalty area. As a result, the ball hit the arm of the Russian defender. The Portuguese player raised his hand to signal the opponent to handball, but the referee Kasse ignored it.

After 1 minute, Moutinho made a wonderful pass to the penalty area, and Barrera formed a one-on-one in the penalty area, but he made a mistake, he made a mistake, and he stopped the ball directly to the opponent's goalkeeper Akinfeev.

Poor Barrera looked back at the big guys in the team tremblingly. Ronaldo ran over and touched his head comfortingly, telling him not to care about mistakes.

Jia Ma turned his head, not wanting to pay attention to his captain's cute behavior.

This scene has a scene like a drama scene, which was shot and released by the live director witty zooming in, making the audience laugh hahaha.

Although Perez of Portuguese National Television was disappointed that the team did not score, he also laughed when he saw the broadcast of this scene, and the guests couldn't help showing a subtle smile.

"I really didn't expect that Jia Ma could grow to the point where he is now."

"Yeah, we have seen him step by step to where he is today. Thinking of Jia Ma's youthfulness when he debuted a few years ago and his restrained and shy performance when he first entered the national team, his growth is really..."

At this time, the sidelines began to change again, and the Russian team also used up the third substitution quota. Capello replaced Bistrov with No. 19 Samidov.

In the 86th minute of the second half, Ronaldo dribbled the ball all the way into the bottom line on the right after receiving a pass from his teammate and was about to break through. He was deliberately shoved by Yeshenko and fell to the ground, but the referee Kasse still ignored the Russian player. foul.

Bento on the sidelines yelled at the fourth official angrily, "This is a foul, can't the referee see it? This is a foul. My player has been intentionally pushed and shoved many times, but he didn't count it once. What referee..."

The fourth official just replied with a dull face, "I will write this into the post-match report."

The players on the field don't know about the disputes happening on the sidelines, they don't have time to deal with it, they have to continue playing.

One minute later, Gama made a long pass, and Moutinho, who received the ball, fell into the opponent's encirclement. Gama rushed over and shouted "pass the ball", the Russian player paused for a second in judgment, and Moutinho was alert Kicking the ball out from under the crowd, Gama dribbled the ball past the opponent who rushed to stop him and strode towards the opponent's penalty area.

At this time, the teammates in the frontcourt had already moved. Gama flicked his feet, passed and passed, and then swung his back to the goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo came out of the wide double-team, and his right foot kicked under the football hard.

Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev rushed out of the goal too quickly, and could only watch Ronaldo's shot hang from his head and then fall.

Boom, the football hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced off the ground before bouncing into the net.

The Russian team's No. 2 defender Anyukov, who rushed to defend, couldn't hold back his footsteps on the goal line and ran into it with the football.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!"

Perez of Portugal's national telephone station jumped up in the broadcast room and yelled directly.

The fans of the home team moaned, and the small number of Portuguese fans screamed wildly and waved the flag scarves in their hands.

On the field, after Ronaldo watched the football hit the net, he clenched his fists and let out a low growl. Just as he was about to run wildly to celebrate the goal, a large wave of teammates rushed in and surrounded Ronaldo. Under the heavy pressure on him, Ronaldo fell to the ground with a bang, and the mountain of people also lay down and formed - a brilliant cough cough big chrysanthemum~

Jia Ma has been watching, until the human-shaped chrysanthemum blossoms, he walked over calmly, first bent down to look at the situation, and then he jumped up and sat directly in the very center of the flower shape (cough I didn't dirty me not dirty).

In the end, because the Portuguese team celebrated for too long, they also received a warning from the referee.

When Cristiano Ronaldo, whose bones were cracked, was pulled up, he rubbed his waist, feeling that his waist would be even more vulnerable after returning...

In the 88th minute, 1 to 2, the Portuguese team scored another goal to lead Russia.

Portugal's momentum soared and continued to strengthen its offense.

The Russian team made a mistake in the transfer of possession and was robbed by Gama in the middle of the pass to the frontcourt. Nani hit the goal and the ball flew out of the sideline by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Portugal's throw-in.

Shirokov of the Russian team held the ball but did not give it to the Portuguese. His move was determined by the referee to be a yellow card for deliberately delaying time.Immediately afterwards, Ed was brought down by Ignashevich's back, and the referee did not make a penalty. Ronaldo, who was watching the incident closely, protested to the referee.

The referee from Hungary ignored Ronaldo's protest and just let Ronaldo go to continue the game.

Gama ran over and pulled Ronaldo away, "Forget it."

Ronaldo angrily walked to the sideline and stopped.

Bento still protested to the fourth official, and also got the answer of 'will write in the post-match report'.

In the 92nd minute, Koklin was given a yellow card for a foul. This was the 14th foul by the Russian team in this game.

However, they were all innocuous penalties, which made Bento very dissatisfied. He told his assistant that he must appeal afterwards.

Of course, it is estimated that such a complaint is useless, but there is still something to be said.

The whole game entered the final stoppage time, the Portuguese team's corner kick.

Nani took a corner kick on the right. Barrera fell in the penalty area when he was fighting for the top. The referee ignored his yelling. At this time, Ignashevich successfully cleared the siege with a header.

Then the referee blew the final whistle and the game ended.

Russia 3-1 Portugal in Group F of the third round of the group stage of the European World Cup qualifiers in Brazil.
