Chapter 443 Germany Takes Advantage
Khedira drove straight in and came to the front of the penalty area before being blocked by Meirelles.Khedira, who likes to go forward, distributed the ball to the right, and entered the penalty area by himself to compete for the top.

"Müller's lob cross! Gomez's header from the center!"

Pepe's state in Real Madrid this season is really average, especially in the two rounds with Bayern, he was beaten by Gomez many times.If it weren't for Casey's brave state and Gomez's lack of ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal, the game would not be dragged into a penalty shootout at all.

When he came to the national team, Pepe was still bullied by Gomez, and he had nowhere to vent his depression.

"Gomez's header was too straight! It was confiscated by goalkeeper Patricio!"

Sauer said a little cryptically: "Gomez's ability to seize opportunities is still lacking. In fact, he can run to the position in many cases, and his physical fitness can also help him resist most of the defenders."

Kahn said: "But the technique in front of the goal needs to be improved. He has a lot of opportunities in every game at Bayern, but he can grasp very few of them."

What these two guest commentators said is not unreasonable. After all, in the 2008 European Cup, Loew already had the intention of letting Gomez succeed Klose.The result was that in the 4th minute of the Austrian game, Gomez unexpectedly hit the plane in front of the empty goal two meters in front of the goal. Since then, he has had a psychological shadow.

This European Cup is his best chance to prove himself, and Gomez must also prove himself, because there is still Klose waiting on the bench.

"Patricio's big kick! Cristiano Ronaldo moves to the center! The ball is returned to Moutinho! Moutinho to the center Postiga! Portugal's attack!"

Portuguese coach Paulo Bento wanted to use Ronaldo's personal ability to attract the German team's defense, and then organize the attack from the midfielder, quickly transferring the ball to the weak side of the German team's defense.

But in this game, the German team sent Boateng to defend Ronaldo, which made Bento feel a little uncomfortable.

The current Ronaldo is not as flexible as when he debuted, and his breakthrough ability has declined.It's okay to deal with those full-backs with average physical fitness. Facing Boateng's explosive black physique, Ronaldo's current agility is a bit difficult to deal with.

As a result, the German team even used Boateng to defend Ronaldo one-on-one, making Bento's tactics in vain.

Just like now, Moutinho gave the ball to Veloso, and Veloso gave it to Ronaldo, and only Muller came up to help defend.Both Khedira and Xiaozhu in the middle did not intend to come to make up for it. The tactics given by Loew also let Boateng defend Ronaldo head-on.

In this way, the German team's defense will not have the so-called "weak side", so that even if Ronaldo transfers the ball, there will be no suitable gap for others to use.

There is no way, Ronaldo can only rely on his personal ability to make a breakthrough.

Although his agility is not so strong, his explosive power and speed are still there.

Facing the pincer attack from Muller and Boateng, Ronaldo turned the ball in with his right foot, followed by a flick on the outside of his instep, and bounced the ball in the opposite direction.

Boateng and Muller were too late to react, and he slipped out of the crack.

"C Ronaldo broke through the defense! Directly attack the goal from the outside!"

Neuer was very focused and punched Ronaldo's shot with both fists.The ball was so powerful that Neuer's fists trembled slightly.

"Don't give him such a chance! Block his shooting path!" Neuer yelled at Boateng, he wouldn't be able to save this kind of ball again.

"C Ronaldo's long-range shots are still very powerful, but if other Portuguese players can't stand up in time, I'm afraid Ronaldo will be alone." Saul explained.

Obviously, the rest of the Portuguese players failed to help Ronaldo, and the game quickly became an offensive and defensive drill for the German team.

In this case, scoring goals is much easier.

"Müller received the ball on the right! Boateng put in the assist! Muller didn't give it! He gave it to the center!"

Piggy catches the ball, stops the ball, glances at the penalty area, and Gomez immediately jumps into the running position, takes away Pepe, and at the same time attracts the attention of the Portuguese defense.

"Piggy split the ball to the wing! Kaiser chest stop! Do it to Ram!"

German team captain Lahm played right back in the club game, and came to the national team to play left back.So recently, such a sentence has been widely circulated in the media circles.

"Who is the number one right/left back in the world depends on which side Lahm plays."

Because no matter which wing Lahm is on, he is the most powerful one.

"Caesar gave the ball to Lahm! Facing Moutinho, Lahm dialed the ball inside and hit the goal directly!"

In a daze, Kahn seemed to see the dexterous elf mouse boy in the opening game of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, in the same position, with the same footwork, and the ball flew into the same angle.

"The goal is in! Lahm cut in from the left and hit the goal in recent years! Patricio failed to touch the ball! The German team broke the deadlock in the 28th minute of the game! Rewritten the score to 1:0!"

The German fans at the scene stood up and cheered, but they were not particularly excited.In their eyes, Portugal poses no threat to the team at all, and naturally they are not so happy to score their goal.

After scoring the goal, Lahm ran to the sidelines and embraced Love tightly. In the early days of the competition, nothing is more important than "team" and "unity".

Merkel in the stands smiled and clapped her hands. In front of the dignitaries of various countries, she kept quite calm.

"The German team has a very obvious advantage! It has always occupied the initiative on the field!"

In less than 3 minutes, the German team made a comeback.

This time it was Caesars again. Pereira, who was defending Caesars, saw Lahm slipping around the perimeter and wondered if he should go up to make up for it. As a result, he hesitated and let Caesars break through.

This is the first time for Pereira to face Caesar. In the past, he felt that this guy was very fast from TV. But today he experienced it personally and found that this guy is really fast.

"Caesar broke through Pereira forcibly! Entered the penalty area!"

Patricio blocked the front point. In this way, as long as Caesar passes the ball to the middle, there is a great possibility that his teammates will face the empty goal directly.

"Caesar's inverted triangle cross! Gomez! Hit the goal!"

This time it was Pepe who won, blocking Gomez's shot with his body.

But the crisis is not over yet, the peripheral pig volleys the ball to the right, Muller observes and passes the ball to the penalty area.

Gomez and Pepe huddled together, and neither of them could reach the ball.

"Caesar!"

Pereira was already stuck in the position, but Caesar jumped high with the impact brought by his speed and hit the ball.It's a pity that his header is not good enough, and the top of the ball is crooked.

"Oh! The German team missed the opportunity to expand the score! There are 10 minutes left in the first half, will the score be rewritten?"
