football superstar

There was a dangerous situation in 3 minutes, which made many Portuguese fans break out in a cold sweat.

The fear of years of victories against France fell on their heads again. For a while, the audience of the visiting team was gloomy and cloudy, and even the cheers seemed not so righteous.

But immediately, Portugal got back to its own form. After the matchup was found, it became very smooth back and forth, and there were no such low-level mistakes in passing and receiving. The Portuguese players, who are good at skills, controlled the rhythm of the game at this moment. At his own feet, the fight can be described as flourishing.

This situation seems to be developing in favor of Portugal, but Clemens, who is guarding the goal, always feels that something is wrong.

Now the Portuguese team seems to be playing well, but it is useless to brush the ball.In fact, the problems of the two teams are similar now, that is, due to the limited running-in time, the cooperation between them is definitely not flawless and smooth, and they all rely on personal ability to control.

Portugal has never given up control of the midfield and the use of tricks. The French don't seem to be in a hurry to fight. Instead, they gave up the midfield to Portugal, but those French defenders are firmly attached to Ronaldo. .

No matter where Ronaldo goes, there are at least three players around him chasing and intercepting, and they can't get the ball at all.

Paul Bento, who was on the sidelines, also saw this. He glanced at the French coach Didier Deschamps on the bench not far away, and frowned tightly.

The advantages and disadvantages of Portugal are equally obvious, that is their absolute core, Cristiano = Ronaldo.

It can be seen from the data that although Portugal's performance in the previous few games was not good, it was Ronaldo who scored [-]% of the goals.Ronaldo, who became the captain, actually consciously cooperates with the actions of his teammates more, but because his strength and running position are always very suitable, most of the scoring tasks are done by Ronaldo alone.

So no matter which team is playing against Portugal, the same thing they do is to hoard a large number of troops to watch Ronaldo die, completely cutting off the possibility of him getting the ball.

This is the problem that Portugal has been facing for a long time.

They have superstars who can turn the situation around, but there is only one, which is too few. The whole world knows that as long as Ronaldo is stared at, Portugal is a cripple with a leg, and anyone can come up and kick it.

But it is impossible for any team that has Ronaldo to put him on the bench, because just giving him a chance will change the situation, and all coaches will make the same choice.

Didier Deschamps also felt Paulo Bento's gaze. He stood there unmoved, with a smile on his mouth, obviously very satisfied with the current situation on the field.

In his opinion, this game is a replica of the previous game. The French team also gave up the possession of the ball and the control of the midfield to Portugal in the first half, but they kept a close eye on their core. As a result, Portugal was unable to attack for a long time. In the second half, the exhausted Portuguese got a head-on blow, allowing France to score three consecutive goals in 10 minutes, and was extremely humiliated at Portugal's home court.

Deschamps looks calm, but in his heart he sympathizes with Paulo Bento.

It's not that this young marshal is incapable, but because Portugal has too few people who can use it. With just one Ronaldo, even if the Real Madrid superstar is exhausted, he can't move him.

Bento thought for a long time, suddenly ran to the sidelines, and then grabbed Nani who was passing by.

Nani was taken aback. It was the first time that this shy young man was grabbed by the head coach by the arm during a game.This situation was also seen by the fourth official, who wanted to stop it.

Bento didn't care about him. In fact, Nani was not the best candidate. The young man was very introverted, and he didn't like to talk. It would be better to let those lively ones come by. But now this young man happened to be passing by. Tom didn't want to wait for others anymore.Covering his mouth, he quickly whispered something in Nani's ear, then patted Nani and pushed him back to the field with his shoulder.

Nani's face is still confused now, but immediately, he turned around directly. The offensive midfielder Nani, who originally wanted to go to the frontcourt to replenish personnel, ran to the backcourt quickly. Go to Clemens in the restricted area.

This made Bento couldn't help but smile. Although Nani is not lively, he is an obedient player.

"Thomas, the boss asked me to ask you, can you stand it now? He asked you to implement the second plan." Nani panted slightly and said to Clemens.

The second set of plans is another set of plans prepared by Paul Bento before the game just in case. Now the players in the national team are fixed, and if you want to change, you must make tactical changes.

It's just that the changes that I thought would only happen in the second half have been used now, which is enough to show Paul Bento's attitude towards this game, that is, there is absolutely no room for loss.

Clemens blinked, and then looked at Bento who was standing on the sidelines, and found that the coach's eyes were not betting on the press in the midfield, but staring at Clemens closely, which made Tao Mr. Chang nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Mr. Daochang, who has been taught by Vazquez twice a week, can probably think of what Bento is going to do. He patted each other with his gloved hands, and his eyes looked at the changes in the French team's half. .

After he nodded, Nani rushed into the front half here, and then said something to a few teammates. So, taking advantage of the short time after a goal was missed and the ball was hugged by the opponent's goalkeeper Lloris, Nani kept going. Portugal, who tried to press forward to find opportunities, suddenly retreated as a whole!

This change naturally attracted the attention of the commentator Sesam, who said into the microphone: "Coach Bento held Nani just now to make a tactical arrangement, but it is very strange that Nani ran to his goalkeeper. After saying something in front of him, he redeployed the position of his frontcourt teammates. Since Mr. Bento blocked his mouth with experience, we don’t know what he said, but judging from the final result, it seems that Portugal, which showed a passionate fighting spirit, chose a more conservative approach, that is, the players retreated sharply to stabilize the defense, which is the first time in Portugal."

This made many people curious about Bento's actions. Paul Bento has not been a conservative head coach for a long time. Whether he was coaching in Benfica or now in the national team, the team's style is very fixed. That is the combination of side and center with the main side pass, and it is rare to see this kind of performance of retreating to the rear as a whole.

And this series of actions led to an inevitable result, that is, France has more room to attack, and Portugal's originally not very solid defense will suffer faster attacks.

The head coach of the French team Didier Deschamps frowned slightly. Didier Deschamps had considered Bento's change of formation, but no matter what the change, Portugal's cards remained the same. On his bench was Nelson, who was newly selected for the national team. There are almost no offensive players who can be replaced, and it is almost impossible to make subtle adjustments when the personnel remain unchanged.The current situation is that Portugal handed over control of the ball and seemed to sink their minds to play against the French team.

Did the 0:3 in the last game give Bento a long memory?

Deschamps can only think of this at the moment, but this is not a bad thing for the French team, it just moves the attack originally planned in the second half to the first half.

So, with Didier Deschamps' hesitant acquiescence, the French team also responded quickly.

Benzema, who has been walking around there very leisurely, quickly got control of the ball and blew the horn of the French team's attack.However, this time the attempt was not successful. The Portuguese team, which hoarded heavy troops to intercept, did not let Benzema pass the arc at all. After breaking the ball, he kicked into the French team's half with a big kick.

But this kick was neither a long pass nor a lobbed goal. The ball flew obliquely out of the sideline, and the ball was still in the hands of France.

The next few times, the French team got intercepted by Portugal when they broke through. They didn't control the ball like they did just now, but kicked the ball to the front court in a hurry, but no one chased it at all. , even Ronaldo is lazily strolling, sleepwalking on the court as if he can't see the ball at all.

This kind of performance directly made the Portuguese fans' uncomfortable mood even more gloomy. They felt that the curse of losing for more than 30 years would be staged again...

"Bento's change of formation has not been effective. Portugal seems to be playing even more ugly. Just now, we can still have some statistical advantages. But in these ten minutes, we can only see the French team surrounding Portugal. Indiscriminately bombing in the half court, but those Portuguese can only shrink in the vicinity of the penalty area to passively intercept and defend. Even if they grab the ball, there is no effective way to organize the offense. If this game continues to play like this It’s definitely not good-looking for neutral fans.” Since Sessam is the commentator of Spain, he is completely unconstrained by the position of the home team and the visiting team, and he seems very comfortable to say what he wants to say.

His words reflected the aspirations of many Portuguese fans. This game is very important for the Portuguese team. According to the rules of the World Cup qualifiers, the first team in each group in the European region will directly advance to the main match stage, and the rest The second place in the group is to compete, and only those who win can advance.

As far as the team is concerned, it is naturally better to directly advance to the finals. Even if it is not possible, at least get the second place in the group first, but who knows how many monsters will come out of this group. In a very tenacious draw to grab points, Poland had Lewandowski, a goal machine, which directly led to Portugal being squeezed to fourth in the group.

After losing this game, no matter how well they play afterwards, whether they can advance or not depends on the faces of others.

And Portugal has never had many friends in Europe...

In the 37th minute of the game, the French team got an excellent chance.

Portugal's defensive strategy, which lasted for more than ten minutes, gave the French team greater confidence. Their crushing momentum became more and more obvious, and finally in the frequent attempts, the French team made a gap!

Portuguese midfielder Moutinho was passed directly by Ribery, who then passed the ball directly across the half to Griezmann on the other side.

This pass was just right, and after Griezmann stopped the ball, he went towards the goal without any pause!

Relying on his speed to eat three defensive players raw, Griezmann has only Clemens in front of him.But he didn't choose to shoot, but passed the ball back to Ribery on the other side!

Scarman's position was very firm, even if Joao Pereira held his arm tightly behind him, the not-so-tall Frenchman didn't move a bit.When the ball flew head-on, Ribery even omitted the action of stopping the ball, and directly stabbed the ball!

The ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal. There was a faint smile on Ribery's face, but immediately, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Because a pair of hands suddenly appeared behind the ball, Clemens, who was invisible for almost half of the game, made a high-profile announcement of his presence, and firmly protected the ball to his chest, and his position was very stable, leaving no room for the opponent. down space.Glancing at the middle position out of the corner of his eye, Clemens mercilessly pointed his shoulder at Benzema, who wanted to make a follow-up shot but couldn't stop him, and knocked the French striker to his back.

At this moment, Benzema only felt the pain in his chest where he bumped into Clemens just now, and he realized that what he bumped into was not a human being, it was clearly a wall!

In the penalty area, the goalkeeper is the first, and this action naturally did not get any indication from the referee.

Clemens would definitely give Benzema a hand if it was normal, but this time he didn't say much, just said calmly to his defenders again: "You have lost your position again. " Then he stepped forward non-stop, made a semicircle with his arm and threw the ball forward!

This kind of situation happened a lot today. After all, Portugal's big kicks were not very reliable, and this time it did not attract enough attention from the French.

Only Griezmann panicked and yelled at his teammates loudly: "Return to the defense, hurry up! Don't let go..." But when it comes to the recovery here, Griezmann got stuck.

Because he found that after Clemens threw the ball, almost the entire Portuguese team began to rush forward. Except for Clemens who staggered after throwing the ball and still stayed in the penalty area, the rest The ten Portuguese players all ran out like hungry tigers!

At the forefront is Cristiano Ronaldo, the number one star who has thrown off the strict guard of the French!

Clemens, who was standing there, remembered a sentence Bento left behind before the game.

"If the game doesn't start, Thomas, I need a long pass from you. If you can directly hoist the ball into the goals of those Frenchmen, that's okay too."

It is a bit difficult to hang in the goal, but it is still possible to pass to the forward after confusing the French with defense. In other words, this is the style of play that Clemens is used to and familiar with.

Mr. Daochang stood with his hips akimbo, watching the ball fly high, with a faint smile on his lips.

Clemens doesn't smile very often, and his expression made Griezmann feel chills on his back. He almost gritted his teeth and chased after him. In the past, he was the one who ate the cake first, so he didn't feel deeply. Now After becoming Clemens' opponent, Griezmann realized that the feeling of being left behind was so terrible.

But Griezmann did not run as fast as the ball, and the ball fell to the ground in an instant.

And it was Ronaldo who just ran to the position!
