[Football] Crown of Thorns

"...This is the Stadium of Light. What you see now is the first round of the European play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers in South Africa. The Portuguese team played against Bosnia and Herzegovina at home. Their goalkeeper is No. 1 Hasagi (Kenan Hasagi) from the Istanbul BB club in Turkey. The goalkeeper, who was born in 1980, has played 30 times on behalf of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team and performed well... 10 midfielders No. Zvjezdan Misimovi, from Wolfsburg, Germany, played 45 times on behalf of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team and scored 15 goals... No. 19 Vedad Ibievi, a striker on the field , the young man born in 1984 has played 15 times in the national team and scored 3 goals. He is currently playing for the Hoffenheim club in Germany. He is one of the outstanding strikers that have emerged in football in recent years... What I want to introduce is one of the best forwards of Bosnia and Herzegovina, No. 11 Dzeko (Edin Deko). He was born in 1986. He is one year younger than Ronaldo, the captain of our Portuguese national team. He has become one of the outstanding forwards in today's football, he has played 17 times in the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, scored 12 goals, and the average goal rate is 0.705 per game... "

On the sidelines, the home commentator Barabara's commentary, on the sidelines, players from both sides have already lined up to enter the field.

With the whistle of the referee, the air above the stadium quickly fell into a brief silence, and then various sounds followed the rolling of the football.

As a midfielder, Gama quickly discovered the problems of his own team. Although he and his teammates had already trained together for about five days, although he also showed the skills of midfield organization and control , but this time he was still not trusted by his teammates. After receiving the ball, the teammates fell down two feet in the backcourt and directly passed a long pass to the team leader running on the wing in front. In just 6 minutes, His midfielder didn't even receive the ball once.

Seeing that the Bosnia and Herzegovina team controlled the ball and broke through the frontcourt again from the side, the Portuguese backcourt players actually blocked the two sides in a swarm, and the middle was wide open, and no one was there to fill the position... I'm in a trough ah!

Gama couldn't help but yelled in his heart, accelerated his retreat and chased after him, and shoveled the Bosnian striker No. 19 Ibisevic who had just got the ball.

The shoveled Ibisevic rolled twice on the ground, when the referee's whistle sounded.

The players of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team surrounded them, and the Portuguese captain Ronaldo, who was still far away in the half-court just now, ran over quickly.

Seeing his team leader gesticulating and explaining in English to the Swiss referee of the game, his face was dyed red anxiously, Gama shook his head helplessly, walked to the referee and spoke in fluent German. Talk to the referee—although most international referees can speak English, it is easier to communicate in their official language at this time.

Don’t look at Leizi who just paid for a third-rate undergraduate degree just for Zhang’s diploma, but Leizi’s own language skills are quite good. In addition to his mother tongue, he also understands Portuguese, English, German and a little French. Back then Leizi learned these It was all to prepare for going abroad to play football in the future, but it turned out that he was forced to end his career before going abroad, and now this knowledge benefits the current Gama.

"Sir, I kicked the ball first."

Gama explained unhurriedly, he had noticed the referee was diagonally behind them before the tackle.As long as the referee does not refute, he should not be sentenced to a foul.

Sure enough, the referee from Switzerland only warned Gama, but did not award him a yellow card.

Ibisevic of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team said something loudly unconvinced, and the referee turned down and asked him to warn him.

Seeing that the referee had made a decision, Dzeko quickly hugged his teammates away.

Bosnia and Herzegovina captain Misimovic quickly explained to the referee that Ibisevic didn't curse, he just complained.

Because the game had just started, the referee didn't say anything else. He just warned the captains of the two teams to restrain the players of the two teams and then blew the whistle to continue the game.

The game continued, and the players of the two teams ran back to their respective positions. Pepe of the Portuguese team grinned at Gama, "Nice job."

Gama tilted his head, "Dude, pass the ball more."

Pepe laughed, "OK!"

Probably Gama’s brave retreat and tackle just now made his teammates suddenly realize that they now have such a midfield teammate, so in the next time, the teammates began to pass the ball to Gama, although it was still directly to them The squad leader passed a little too many times, but at least Gama was able to get the ball.

It's just that on the whole, the Portuguese midfielder and their wingers and frontcourt players still don't have a good understanding of cooperation.

On the sidelines, Bento bit his finger and frowned.

No matter how well the arrangements were made before the game, the players still have to play the game themselves. Now they are not cooperating well, and they still don't trust Gama's ability after all.

Before the Portuguese team's game, it was because they didn't have a good waist, which led to unfavorable coordination and single tactics. Now it's because Gama hasn't gained their trust, so they don't cooperate well. But now the coach has no choice but to hope that Gama can use himself. performance to conquer teammates.

At this time, Gama on the court was also a little anxious. 20 minutes had passed in the first half, and the cooperation between him and his teammates was still not satisfactory.

The team captain's face was obviously anxious - Ronaldo had first-class personal skills and superb abilities, but in terms of command, he still failed to integrate the team into a strict unity, and could only rely on his own ability to repeat it over and over again. Going forward, but football is a collective event of 11 people after all, no matter how good he is, he can't break through all his opponents.

Gama took a deep breath, now that Bosnia and Herzegovina has the ball, he can't let his opponent pass.

The opponent's No. 8 Damjanovic dribbled the ball and suddenly changed to cut inward and rushed into his own half. Gama quickly pasted it. He put his hands behind his back and resisted Mijanovic with his body. The opponent's legs were separated, and the opponent's body was shaken twice, and the football rolled a little away one meter away.

Jia Ma no longer hesitated, stretched out his legs and hooked the ball with his toes, and made a cross-footed kick on the ground.

The football slid straight from the ground and landed directly at the feet of defender Alves who rushed over.

Alves' neat feet took the ball straight to Bosnia and Herzegovina's half.

Seeing his teammates rushing over, Ronaldo turned around and ran towards the opponent's penalty area without hesitation, the Portuguese team had a chance.

It's a pity that this time the attack was punched out of the baseline by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Portugal's corner kick.

The attack was over, and at this time, the audience on and off the court let out a cry of surprise.

It turned out that the on-site director replayed Gama's interception and steal on the big screen just now, and analyzed it in slow motion.

"I just knew, I just knew, Gama won't let me down."

In the sports broadcast of Portuguese National Television [-], Perez shouted excitedly.

Rui Rui, who was watching the game with him in the studio, also smiled, "Very beautiful steal, I think his teammates can trust him more, I believe that Gama can sort out the midfield and connect the offense of the midfield .”

"Yes, in the previous period, the boys still had some problems in cooperating, but after Gama's performance just now, I believe the lads should know that they need more cooperation with Gama..."

I remember the Portuguese coach Bento standing on the sidelines finally showed a smile on his face. Gama is indeed a smart player. I can use this method to announce his existence and tell my teammates that I can do it. Don’t worry, I can do it. He has this strength.

Sure enough, after two or three interceptions by Gama, the Portuguese players knew what to do.

So in the following time, Gama was able to obtain more ball possessions and pass coordination.

Although the Portuguese team has not yet scored a goal, everyone can see that after Gama organized and controlled the midfield, the Portuguese team's ability to control the entire field has been enhanced, and the players no longer run around and the rhythm of the game has changed. orderly.

"After Rui Rui, did God finally give us the Portuguese another pearl!"

Perez muttered.

Rui on the side smiled helplessly. What Perez said made him answer the topic.

"However, the strength of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team is really good. They have blocked our attacks one after another. It is impossible to miss opportunities like this..."

After nagging for a while, Perez immediately entered the professional commentary attitude, and he said this after observing for a while.

Rui also nodded, "Misimovic's ability is quite good, and Dzeko's ability should not be underestimated. If we keep losing good robots like this, it will be easy for our opponents to seize opportunities."

On the field, Nani has already fired two anti-aircraft guns on the goal. Ronaldo, who has always been tense and feels that he should be the captain, is dedicated to playing the ball for his teammates or attracting the opponent's defense to give his teammates opportunities. Unfortunately, his teammates are just No goal, and several times in a row either firing anti-aircraft guns or hitting the goalposts, the fans in the audience kept exclaiming disappointment.

Gama took possession of the ball, signaled his cooperation, and passed the ball again to Deco's feet.

Since Deco was sold to Chelsea by Barcelona in 2008 last year, and Chelsea was coached by former Portuguese coach Scolari, so Deco has been reused since he came to Stamford Bridge. As long as there are no injuries and suspensions, he is the starter An absolute member of the lineup, forming a new midfield combination with Lampard and Ballack.However, due to the influence of age, injury and team tactics, Deco's state gradually declined.Therefore, his performance on the court is gradually unsatisfactory. In the first [-] minutes of the first half of the game, he has made several mistakes. If it were Pepe's several replacements, he would most likely be broken by the opponent a few times. .

Since Deco was originally a Brazilian, after obtaining Portuguese nationality, he was selected for the Portuguese national team coached by Brazilian Scolari.

Deco, who was selected for the Portuguese national team as a loan player, has not been very popular with Portuguese fans and members of the Portuguese national team. Figo once publicly stated that he does not welcome Deco, and Rui Costa is even more supportive of his replacement. Deco, who was in his own position, looked at each other coldly.

This is also why Perez yelled that Gama is the successor of Rui Rui and Rui was quite happy. They completely ignored the existence of Deco. It can even be said that they just don’t like Deco, even if Deco used to be the Portuguese team in the European arena. They have made a lot of contributions to winning good results in the World Cup, but the poor Deco is just not liked by them, let alone Deco's state is now declining, and they can be regarded as restraining themselves if they can not sarcasm in public.

Deco, who was holding the ball, controlled the ball very steadily this time, and his dribbling movements were very simple and completely for the purpose of practicality. At this time, I saw that he dodged the opponent's block with a quick turn, and then passed A ball was rolled in a straight line. After receiving the ball, Gama, who rushed forward from behind, made two fake moves in a row, then suddenly withdrew and made a long pass with one step at a time. The ball flew to Ronaldo's side.

"Pretty!"

Although he doesn't like Deco, as a professional Perez will not miss the beautiful moves made by the players.

Rui nodded, "The cooperation just now was very beautiful."

Ronaldo on the court jumped high. From the live footage, it can be seen that he jumped quite high, almost half a body higher than his opponent, and headed the ball.

The tall defenders of Bosnia and Herzegovina jumped together, only to have the football stolen by Ronaldo.

Their goalkeeper was staring at the direction where Ronaldo pushed the football, but Ronaldo deftly turned his head slightly in the air. This header turned into a pass, and Alvi rushed over from the side. Si jumped up and headed the goal.

A powerful headbutt slams the ball into the goal.

The Portuguese fans who occupy the home court gave out deafening cheers.

In the 307th minute of the first half, the Portuguese team, under long-term attack, opened the scoring with a header from defender Alves, and the Portuguese team temporarily led by 1 goal.
