football superstar

As teammates of the national team, Nani and Rooney know exactly what Rooney is doing now.

In Manchester United, the team has bought a lot of players to serve as the offensive line, whether it is Van Persie or Nani, or Fernandez who often comes off the bench to make contributions, these players are world-class shooters, which also squeezes Rooney's position and attacking intensity in the team.

Generally, there is an order in the team, the order of corner kicks, the order of free kicks, and the order of penalty kicks.

These orders are not just based on the ability of the players. Except for the distribution of corner kicks that depend on the players' power feet, other positions are more about declaring their status in the team.

Free kicks and penalty kicks mean being able to expand the score and go further in the scorer list. Everyone wants to be able to get the first pick!

As an absolute meritorious player in the team, Rooney's playing time and the trophies he won are enough to establish his status as the leader of the team. Even if Lu Xiaopang looks honest in private, but in Manchester United He is definitely able to secure the top spot in the locker room.

But it is Rooney who is almost unambiguous in the interior. In addition to taking on the task of corner kicks, he gave up the two opportunities of penalty kicks and free kicks that can definitely score goals to others.

Nani does not like to talk in the team, but this does not mean that the Portuguese cannot see the efforts made by the captain. Rooney sacrificed his position but gained respect. The whole field was galloping around, which greatly reduced Rooney's scoring efficiency, but freed up the players in the frontcourt a lot.

It may be said that Rooney's skills are rough, but no one can deny the Red Devils captain's efforts, career, and loyalty to Manchester United.

That is to say, in the club, I am used to filling the field, so now Rooney also has the attribute of running with the ball in the national team. Cut it off, and don't give Nani a chance to launch a fast break at all!

In the end, the ball was controlled by Rooney, and Nani did not succeed in counter-grabbing on the spot, and this quick free kick did not get the desired effect.

But no one will feel that it is a pity. There are too many such things on the football field. The players will not linger on this one or two accidents, and the fast pace of the game also forces them to ignore the incident just now.

But Paulo Bento on the sidelines will not let it go.

"My player has been violated again." He still expressed his opinion to the fourth official in a friendly voice, his voice was gentle and smooth, and he was not in a hurry.

But this attitude is the scariest. The fourth official coughed lightly and was about to speak when he saw the England coach Hodgson striding over.

The chubby England coach is obviously more angry than Paul Bento, and his voice is much louder: "You are going to use your fabricated words to deceive people, Mr. Bento, this is in the game, I am determined not to Agree with any slander!"

Paulo Bento played the innocent eyes to the extreme, he looked at the fourth official and shrugged, and the fourth official also knew that Hodgson probably saw that the Portuguese coach always came to him and the referee on the field awarded England consecutive A few fouls, so Hodgson felt threatened, and now he came to demonstrate.

But even if the fourth official knew that Paulo Bento was deliberately creating a tense atmosphere, he couldn't say anything. After all, he didn't curse or protest. Just a few simple words can't call the referee over and give him a red card.

"Mr. Hodgson, please go back to your seat." Unable to explain, and unable to listen to his words and call Paul Bento over to scold him, the fourth official could only put on a straight face to persuade Hodgson not to make trouble.

However, this kind of behavior just made Hodgson feel threatened. England was in a backward situation. Even if Hodgson swore to the players that England would still have a chance as long as they held the defense, no one could say for certain how sure this opportunity was.

Over there stands Clemens, the clean sheet record holder, a young goalkeeper...

Hodgson felt that he was sweating more and more.

Cunning Portuguese.Hodgson gritted his teeth and glared at Paul Bento as he turned his head back.

Mr. Bento was not angry, but smiled, and walked back to the coach's bench calmly.

Sessam, who watched the whole communication between the two people through the broadcast signal, didn't say anything. His focus was on the court. Now that Portugal is in control of the ball, there are really many things that can be explained.

But for Liu Jianhong, the game without Clemens' performance can be briefly described, and he pays more attention to the situation on the sidelines. After seeing the exchange between the two coaches, he said jokingly: "It seems Psychological warfare does not only occur in clubs, it is also very common in national team games. Just now Paulo Bento was obviously putting pressure on people, but he did not speak rudely to the fourth official - from the fourth official It can be seen from the expression on the two people that they are chatting happily and there is no discord - Paul Bento is putting pressure on Hodgson."

The pressure doesn't just come from the score, it comes from doubt.

The side that wins the game always plays with the wind, but Paulo Bento doesn't think he will keep the lead forever.Football is round, and no one knows what will happen to the round ball. As the head coach, he not only has to make arrangements for the formation of troops, but also observe the opponent's state at all times.

Hodgson messed up and that's enough.

In the end, Portugal's offense was not fully completed. Even if they scored a goal first, the possession ratio still had an absolute advantage, but their consensus was far less smooth than in previous games.

England's players have always had rough skills, but they still have a fine tradition, that is, they are obedient.Hodgson let the defense, well, then defend, even if it is a tactical foul, stop the ball!

In the No.405 minute of the game, the England team had already received three yellow cards. Among them, Gerrard directly used his body as a weapon to block Ronaldo's counterattack, knocked down Ronaldo and let himself Rubbing the palm of his hand, he could tell from his expression that it was not a minor injury, but Gerrard still gritted his teeth and held back, the referee gave him a topaz card without any suspense.

If it weren't for the World Cup, this kind of foul would have been sent off with a red card if it was stricter!

It was also because England's foul tactics successfully blocked Portugal's attack, allowing Portugal to get the fourth free kick in the first half of the game.

In the first three times, except for the quick free kick that failed a bit hastily, the other two times were blocked by England's human wall without exception. This time it was arranged in stoppage time in the first half. The sign clearly shows that the stoppage time in the first half is 1 minute.

This also means that after Portugal's free kick is sent, whether it is scored or not, the first half of the game will be over!

The referee came over with a spray. This is the first equipment used in this World Cup. The white foam sprayed from it can draw lines or draw circles on the ground, so as to arrange the position of the human wall and the penalty spot. more specific.

The referee walked this way while shaking the foam on his hand. Portugal is not pretentious. Ronaldo is the only one standing behind the ball. It is self-evident who will take the penalty.

Ronaldo stands behind the ball, stepping on the ball with his toes to keep the ball from moving. His eyes are looking at the wall, and he is mentally estimating the distance from the ball to the goal. He is also looking at Joe Hart's position. Estimate what kind of shooting method can block the goalkeeper's line of sight and make it easier for him to score.

Just as Ronaldo stared at Joe Hart's position and looked at the back of the England goalkeeper, the referee walked up to Ronaldo, bent down, and drew a line on the ground with a spray.

Ronaldo's eyes also looked over, thinking that this spray was like the manual snow-making spray that coaxed little Chris to play at home at Christmas.

But looking at it, it feels wrong.

I said, Mr. Referee, why are you spraying endlessly?

Although the referee was bent over, he could still feel Ronaldo's gaze fixed on him. He coughed lightly and got up as if nothing had happened, but his footsteps revealed his heart at the moment .

Leave the scene of the incident quickly and don't give Ronaldo a chance to speak. God knows what the Portuguese star will say!

After he left, the camera also focused on Ronaldo, and Ronaldo's gaze at the ball with his head down also let the camera lens follow.

Then, an ironic scene appeared.

Sessam, who was discussing with the fans about the chances of Ronaldo's direct free kick in the past, got stuck when he saw this scene on the court and coughed a few times. Even though Sessam quickly grabbed the microphone, But the subtle sound was still transmitted through the relay signal.

But at this moment, no one is pursuing the small mistakes of Sesam, the top Spanish commentator, because there are many fans who are as dumbfounded as him.

Because at this moment, a sharp hill piled up in front of the ball under Ronaldo's feet, directly blocking the ball.

'Can anyone tell me what the hell this is...the referee made a hill of spray? '

'Mountain?I think ice cream is about the same 233333'

'This is the first time I have used this spray. It is not easy to introduce new technology in the World Cup. It is always necessary to give the referee some time to get used to it. It is not realistic for people to use it so quickly. '

"It's okay to be considerate, but...but this shape...Mr. Referee has worked in an ice cream shop before, right? '

'This block is too strict. Players definitely can't just kick the foam mountain away. If this thing blocks the ball and the free kick doesn't work well, who will take the blame? '

'Back option: A, the referee. B, spray. C, Lord Luo. D, Benzema. '

'This is a sub-question, okay?Look at the level of the referee, I hate it, of course I choose D Benzema. '

'D. '

'Of course D. '

"Stupid cat official blame man, don't ask for sub-questions, I will suspect that you are insulting our IQ!" '

"France did not enter the World Cup, I feel sorry for Benzema, who was shot, hhhhhhhh"

The complaints on the Internet can't make the spray less, and Benzema, who is slumped on the sofa watching TV broadcast in his hometown in France, can't alleviate the current situation.

Ronaldo glanced at the goal, then at the spray, then at the goal, then at the spray...

Obviously knowing that this thing is so flimsy and useless, but it is so white that it is piled up here, it clearly affects the mood...

"beep--!"

The referee's whistle sounded, Ronaldo calmed down, raised his hand to signal, took a few steps to run up, and kicked the ball directly!

This position is close to the right side of the goal. There are Portuguese players interfering in the wall formed by the tall English players in front, but Ronaldo does not want to take risks. The previous few times were because the English wall jumped up and blocked the ball. , Ronaldo's changed route this time, he is going to throw a curve ball around the wall and fly to the far corner of the goal!

However, the spray obviously affected the trajectory of the ball, or it affected Ronaldo's judgment. The moment the kick was kicked, Ronaldo secretly said: It's broken!

There is a radian, but it is larger than expected.

There is also strength, but it is a little less powerful than expected.

The ball looks light and fluffy, and it flies past the wall, but because the arc is too large, no one can hit it.

Everyone looked back at the ball flying towards the goal, but something happened that made the England fans almost jump up.

The ball goes to the near corner, but what about the Joe Harts!

Where is their goalkeeper!

If you pay attention to Joe Hart, you can definitely see that this has nothing to do with Joe Hart. The England goalkeeper has always been concentrating on Ronaldo. If the ball flies according to Ronaldo’s expectations, it will definitely draw a ball. The arc came out, but it would also make Joe Hart notice it. As a goalkeeper, the first thing he needs to determine is where the ball is.

However, the ball changed its routine due to various reasons. The arc was large and the speed of the ball was slow. When the England wall player jumped high, he took Joe Hart's sight seriously!

If a defensive player could yell at this moment, Joe Hart would probably have noticed it, but no one said anything at this moment. A slow ball like this will not be a threat.

Who would have thought that the ball would float towards the goal frame as if he knew his way!

After the ball turned around the wall, it went straight towards the outskirts of the goal. Joe Hart, who finally saw the ball, hurriedly fell to the ground to save it, crying in his heart while falling to the ground.

Shots from this position are the most difficult to save. It takes time, and saving the ball takes time. The ball is obviously still spinning. It is safer to save with two hands, but it still takes time.

The final superimposed result is that Joe Hart did his best, and he also did the best that all goalkeepers can do, but he was still half a beat behind.

Such a ball that looked like it was kicked went into the net just like that!

A sensation!

"Gooooooooooooooool!" Sessam was completely defenseless this time, but he still couldn't stop the Spanish commentator from showing off his lung capacity. He shouted, "The second goal was born! It came from Ronaldo's direct free kick. ! This shot was not an elevator ball, and there was no passing and receiving, but a goal that looked a little weird! This may be an accident, or it may be a secret weapon that Ronaldo has practiced in private. In any case, Portugal’s The second goal appeared! In the stoppage time of the first half, Portugal expanded its lead with Ronaldo's brace! 2-0, the England team is really dangerous! There is not much time left for them Already!"

Ronaldo himself was a little dazed. He looked at the ball and subconsciously kicked the foam on the ground that hadn't completely disappeared. Then he remembered and ran to the sidelines with his hands up to celebrate!

This time Lord Luo didn't stand on the sidelines and make a classic pose. He just did that, but was pushed to the ground by his teammates, and someone took the opportunity to touch his ass. This kind of thing is usually done by Morata. It was done by a young Spaniard who drove a small train. Now that he is in the national team, this kind of thing still happens. Master Luo feels that he will never accept being molested!

He chose to run to the coach's bench, hugged Paul Bento, and lifted Mr. Bento up!

Paul Bento was taken aback. He is not Mourinho, and his mental quality has not been tempered by flying throws again and again. When he felt Ronaldo's arm tightly hugging his thigh, Mr. Bento slapped him subconsciously. Ronaldo's back: "Hey, Chris put me down! You..." You can't get hurt, as the mainstay of the team, you must cherish your body!

Ronaldo didn't care about this. Before Paul Bento finished speaking, he hugged his head coach and circled around the spot several times, then put Paul Bento directly in the arms of the assistant coach, turned his head and walked away. He ran to the court and gave his teammates high fives to celebrate.

"Childish." Paul Bento was a little dizzy. He sat on a chair, supported the assistant coach's arm, and muttered while grinding his teeth.

The assistant coach Quan pretended not to hear this, and said with a smile: "Chris looks very happy." In the past, Nani and Joao Pereira, the two main players in the Portuguese team, were always injured and unable to play. Pepe habitually received a red card by himself, and the other teammates could not be moved by Ronaldo alone, so Captain Ronaldo, who came to the national team, always frowned.

He longs for the honor of the national team. In the club, he has won all the honors he can get. Ronaldo obviously hopes to make contributions to the national team at the best time of his career!

Now Ronaldo, who scored two goals, finally laughed out, looking extremely happy.

Paul Bento also bent his lips when he heard this: "Yeah, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

===

With a two-goal lead, the two sides entered the intermission.

Hodgson's pace is very fast, he desperately hopes to use the intermission to change his strategy and tactical play, so that England will not be as passive as in the first half.

Portugal, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed. Paulo Bento left a few players on the field to warm up in case of emergencies, while the rest returned to the locker room.

"Two goals." Pepe said with a smile on Ronaldo's shoulder as soon as he entered the locker room.

Ronaldo glanced at him, raised his chin slightly, obviously very proud but I just didn't say anything, so Pepe subconsciously put his hand behind Ronaldo's head, and then retracted the moment his fingertips touched the hairspray, It also avoided the bad luck of being hated by Captain Ronaldo.

Hairstyles are the essence!

Clemens picked up the water bottle and poured water into his mouth. He always didn't like to come here for oil massage during the intermission. It's the same in the national team. Mr. Daochang patted on his leg. The team doctor asked him to go to Ronaldo, and Mr. Daochang said lightly: "Just now you slipped."

Ronaldo nodded, not stingy in admitting.

The ball just now was indeed blinded, but even if it was covered, it was luck. Luck has always been a part of football.

Clemens' focus was not on this, he glanced at Ronaldo calmly: "Right leg, two centimeters below the knee, you press it."

Ronaldo pressed it casually, and then subconsciously flicked his calf, almost kicking the team doctor in front of him.

Clemens met all sorts of surprised looks, and wanted to say that this was actually a knee jerk reflex, but Ronaldo's current situation was a little more obvious: "Take it easy." The slip just now brought not only Not only the goal, but also the burden on the muscles. It is best to relax as soon as possible now, otherwise the high-intensity running in the second half will easily lead to cramps or even muscle strains.

Clemens did not say the second half of the sentence, this is not a big deal, and according to Ronaldo's temper, he will persist even if he is injured, but it will increase the psychological burden.

This sentence attracted Ronaldo's attention. He trusted Clemens's ability to compare X-rays with his eyes, and he stretched out his legs honestly and was pressed.

At this time, Paulo Bento walked in, walked to the tactical board without saying a word, and began to arrange the adjustments and changes that needed to be made in the second half.

A series of changes are aimed at the possible changes in England. Portugal is called the Argentina of Europe because their skills are not only simple and efficient, but also full of the spirituality of American players. They may not be proficient in understanding tactics, but they can cope with changes. Above all, every Portuguese is a master.

In the end, Paul Bento erased all the drawn lines and patted the tactical board: "Thomas." After saying a word, at least three people looked up at themselves, which forced Paul Bento to add a sentence , "Thomas Clemens."

Mr. Dao Chang blinked and looked at Paul Bento.

"In the second half, move your position up a bit to make up for the space in the back line. Pepe, you come in to expand the defensive area. We need to strengthen our offense, understand?"

Why did Clemens find this sentence so familiar?

Isn't this the method Mourinho used at Real Madrid?It seems that Mr. Bento's previous meeting with Mourinho was fruitful, at least Haas brought Clemens' instruction manual.

At the same time, in the England dressing room separated by two corridors, Rooney trembled subconsciously.

Hey, where is the wind coming from?
