[Football] Crown of Thorns

Looking at the past confrontation records between Portugal and Brazil, Brazil has 18 wins, 12 draws and 2 losses in the past 4 matches.

In the history of the World Cup, the two teams met in the 1966 World Cup group stage. At that time, the Brazilian team lost 1-3 and was eliminated.

In this World Cup, the two teams are in Group G with the same points, and the other two teams in Group G are called the "group of death".Although Portugal did not play well in the first game, it still won the African Elephant Army. In the second game, it even had a big victory and bloodbathed its opponents. It also qualified for the second consecutive victory.

Therefore, for the two teams, today's game is just a competition for the first place in the group, and there is no other pressure.

Today the Portuguese team made some adjustments in the starting lineup, Pepe, Duda and Costa entered the starting lineup.

As for the Brazil team, due to Kaka's suspension, Baptista replaced him, Alves replaced the injured Elano, and Nierma replaced Robinho to partner with Fabiano.

After the start of the game, the two sides played very steadily. The Brazilian team patiently looked for opportunities in the midfield and the backcourt. The Portuguese were not in a hurry to grab.

However, due to the lack of Kaka who was suspended with a red card, today's stage seems to be a stage for C Ronaldo alone.

When the Portuguese passed the ball to C Ronaldo after getting the ball, C Ronaldo's first touch of the game caused the sound of vuvuzela in the audience, and the sudden burst of sound frightened When people jumped, not only the Portuguese, but even the Brazilians were frightened and paused.

"Oh, Ronaldo is so positive!"

On the field, the Portuguese had the ball, C Ronaldo raised his arm high, he was asking for the ball.

Most of the Portuguese players who control the ball will pass the ball to C Ronaldo. In just five or six minutes of the game, C Ronaldo has already passed the ball as many as four times. It is no wonder that there are commentators in the commentary booth This is how Ronaldo's behavior is described.

Of course, the Brazilian commentator said sourly, "C Ronaldo is really domineering..."

Before the game, there was news that Ronaldo was in a bad mood because his girlfriend Elena recently made various sexy moves with her partner, Brazilian male model Malone, when she was filming an advertisement for a fashion brand on the beach in Rio de Janeiro.This made Ronaldo, who was playing in South Africa, very angry, and many media started a lot of hype. Some Brazilian media even said that as a Brazilian, Malone copied the backyard of the Portuguese Ronaldo.

Although I don't know whether these rumors are true or not, Ronaldo was really excited after the opening game today.

As a result, his excitement made the cooperation between his teammates always be half a beat behind him, which made Gama, who was organizing in the midfield, a real headache.

The helpless Gama had no choice but to pass the football to Ronaldo who wanted the ball twice in a row. Instead, he made several consecutive passes with teammates around the midfield, adjusted the formation, and then continued to control the ball to the opponent. Half court offense.

However, this time the sudden attack was cut off by Silva of the Brazilian team halfway and then made a long pass, which was transformed into an attack by the Brazilian team.

Fortunately, the Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo was very focused and successfully intercepted the pass in the air. Then he slowed down the speed of the serve. Depending on the situation, he wanted his teammates in the frontcourt to adjust again.

Meriles and Gama looked at each other, "Unfortunately, we will definitely be criticized after the game and say that we have internal strife or something."

"Jose, I guess it's either that I'm a rookie being bullied by the boss or that I deliberately didn't pass the ball to the captain."

Gama was very helpless.

Meriles laughed loudly, "The ball is coming."

Gama ran back, "Jose, cooperate."

"Haha~~"

The two speeded up and looked up at the ball flying in the air.

It's a pity that this pass flew too high and ran very fast, and the two of them tried their best to chase it but failed to catch it.

Fortunately, their captain, Ronaldo, leaped high in the frontcourt, intercepted the ball with an overhead drop, and then he directly passed the ball.

Thiago, who got the ball, passed it back. Ronaldo received his right rib and volleyed. This shot was blocked by Silva.

The ball bounced out, Portugal's Pepe immediately turned and counterattacked after receiving the ball, when Brazil's No. 9 Fabiano deliberately knocked Pepe down.

The referee blows his whistle.

Players from both sides surrounded the past, the referee drew the card directly, and Fabiano received a yellow card.

And this was the 9th minute of the first half.

"I really admire him for daring to attack Pepe maliciously."

Jia Ma, who was standing outside, shook his head, and grabbed his captain, "Captain, please don't make trouble for us."

Seeing the excited look on the captain's face, Jia Ma really suspected that something might happen if he was put in.

Besides, it was Pepe, and opponents who dared to offend Pepe in the game had almost no good end, because Pepe would usually avenge him on the spot.

Thinking of this, Jia Ma was even more helpless.

"I am the captain!"

The captain of his family said to Jia Ma very seriously.

"Please, the opponent has received a yellow card, so you can rest!"

Jia Ma dragged his captain away.

In the next few minutes, the two sides fought back and forth happily.

In the 17th minute, Alves turned around and volleyed vigorously from 25 yards, and Eduardo got the ball.

After 1 minute, Tentrang broke through from the left and scored the ball. Gama received the ball and passed it to Meireles.

On the sidelines of the court, Bento covered his forehead, and said to his assistant in a helpless voice, "Didn't I double up on shooting, why..."

His assistant was also helpless, "What about the game, it's not that easy to score goals."

In the 19th minute, Gilberto Silva's outside shot was blocked.

In the 23rd minute, Lucio's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked, and Fabiano's shot from inside the penalty area was blocked again.

Brazil corner kick.

Alves took a corner kick, Bastos followed up with a volley and was blocked by Thiago.

In the 24th minute, the Portuguese team counterattacked.Gama made a beautiful long pass directly in front of C Ronaldo on the right. Brazil's No. 4 Juan stretched out his left arm to block the ball in a hurry, because at this time Juan was already Brazil. The last man on the back line of the team, unable to resist Ronaldo, he can only stop Ronaldo with fouls.

And Juan's intentional foul action, the referee Arjundia gave him a lenient punishment and only gave him a yellow card.

But his penalty caused dissatisfaction among the Portuguese players. The excited Duda rushed to the referee and complained loudly. As a result, he also received a yellow card.

Gama was speechless.

Of course, this time, he held back the captain who wanted to judge, "Please captain, this is only half of the first half, the referee will not give the opponent a red card casually."

What's more, after the last Brazilian team Kaka's two-yellow to red game, everyone saw that it was framed by the opponent. The Brazilian who suffered a loss just protested and did not trouble the organizing committee, so now the referee has to give Brazil Team point compensation, it is useless for you to ask for a red card.

As a result, as soon as this side stopped the person, Du Da over there received a yellow card.

"I really..."

Jia Ma, who rolled his eyes, turned around and left, what a beep, he's just a rookie, okay, it's thankless for Mao to take care of these things.

"Hey, Shiko!"

Coentraan chuckled behind him.

Jia Ma shook his head, "Go back to your place!"

Free kick for Portugal.

C Ronaldo prepares to take the penalty.

The distance of this ball is a bit far, it is not very suitable for direct shooting.

Of course, Ronaldo didn't feel that, he stood aggressively in front of the ball, waiting for the referee's whistle.

In the stands of the stadium, tens of thousands of Portuguese fans burst into deafening cheers and cheers.

But it is a pity that the angle of the heavy artillery fired by C Ronaldo was not pressed properly, and the anti-aircraft artillery was fired.

Now it was the turn of the Brazilian fans in the stands to boo harshly.

In the 30th minute, the Brazilian team got a free kick opportunity. Gilberto Silva took a free kick. The ball hits the post and pops out!

The Portuguese team who grabbed the ball played a quick counterattack. Thiago of the Portuguese team who broke through the defense of the Brazilian team suddenly fell in the penalty area. Both players thought it was the other’s mistake. Thiago flopped and was given a yellow card.

"Oh, I really saw a ghost."

Gama sighed, shook his head and retreated to the middle circle.

In the 36th minute, Nierma picked the ball in front of the penalty area and passed Costa's left-wing volley to hit high.

In the 39th minute, Maicon broke through from the right and made a cross. Fabiano grabbed a header in the penalty area and scored the goal. The ball bounced in front of the goal and missed the goal.

Then, a small climax of the field came. Pepe directly kicked down Brazil's Melo and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Gama, who twitched his lips, glanced sideways at Coentrao, who was approaching, "Fabio, don't follow the example of your predecessors."

"I won't foul on purpose!"

Coentraan raised his head very proudly.

In the 43rd minute, Melo deliberately knocked down Pepe and received a yellow card, and then Dunga replaced him with Josue.

In the 45th minute, Cohentraw deliberately violated Maicon and received a yellow card.

This is the 7th yellow card in the first half of the game.

"I really beep the dog!!!"

Jia Ma stared at Coentraang quietly, "Won't intentionally foul, eh???"

…………

Coentram: Ha ha, a momentary miss!

Gama: Bah!
