Chapter 182 The bad news of the second half

This Portuguese national team's "home" game against the Ghana national team is not just an ordinary match in the third round of the ordinary group stage for this World Cup.However, for the Portuguese national team, it is a crucial game that determines whether the Portuguese national team can break through the group stage and enter the knockout stage.

Of course, the same is true for the Ghanaian national team.After all, these two teams, in the first and second rounds of the previous group stage, had a draw, a loss and a point.However, the protagonist of our book is now in the Portuguese national team, Victor Lee, the starting center of the Portuguese national team in this game.

But the Ghanaian national team thinks so too.However, for these two national teams, it is now time for halftime.Although this game is currently the Portuguese national team is temporarily ahead of the Ghana national team 1-0.However, another game in the same group is also the match between the German national team and the US national team that is also related to which two teams can enter the knockout stage.

The score was still 0-0.
And such a score, for the players of the Portuguese national team and the Ghana national team who just "scrambled" for 45 minutes at the Brasilia National Stadium in this game, is the last score they want to see.After all, unlike the Portuguese national team and the Ghana national team, the German national team and the US national team on another court had achieved one win, one tie and four points in the previous two group matches.

If in the third round of the match, the German national team and the US national team maintain the 0-0 score to the end, then both sides will score another 1 point in the standings.In this way, also accumulate 5 points.Then, they will directly "crush" the boys who are preparing to play and continue to "fight" the Portuguese national team and the Ghana national team for 45 minutes in the second half.

After all, even if the final match between the Portuguese national team and the Ghana national team will end with the current score of 1-0, the Portuguese national team can add three points to the standings to become four points.So, I still have to bid farewell to this World Cup with the No.3 result in the group stage.

In fact, how should I put it, this is obviously for the Portuguese national team and the Ghana national team who are already on the lawn of the Brasilia National Stadium, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, and then kick-off, and continue the second half of the match. is not fair.

But, that's football.There's nothing unfair about that either.After all, there are definitely winners and losers in football games.It is different from one game, or the knockout stage where the winner is determined by home and away.In the group stage, although mistakes are allowed, if more than one mistake is made.Then, the bitter fruit of failure can only be left to yourself to taste.

However, even so, for the protagonist of our book, Victor, and his teammates in the Portuguese national team, they still have to continue to work hard in the remaining 45 minutes of the game.Because anyway, after all, the pie of victory will not fall out of thin air. Although the score between the German national team and the US national team is now 0 to 0. However, no one can tell who will rewrite the score before the end of the game.In this way, once such a thing happened, but I didn't grasp it, wouldn't it be a pity.

Therefore, after the whistle of the game in the second half was blown by the referee, whether it was the Portuguese national team that scored a goal in the first half, or the Ghana national team that still hadn't scored a goal so far, they immediately started to attack the opponent. Goal attack.And it was the Ghanaian national team that was eager to equalize the score first.

The player who scored the goal was Ji An, the captain of the Ghana national team.But before that, Ji'an had already made a save that made the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, Beto, break out in a cold sweat.Although it was a simple pass from the left side of the penalty area, then dribbled the ball laterally, and then suddenly shot after finding a gap.

Although it is very simple, although in the end the football still rubbed against the goal post and flew out of the bottom line.Even though Beto, the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, who was in a cold sweat, stood up again, he did not directly ask the ball boy for the ball, but "roared" at his teammates in front of him.

However, this still failed to attract the attention of the players on the Portuguese field, and some players may have noticed the offensive launched by the Ghanaian national team after the start of the second half.However, the Portuguese national team who wants to score more goals quickly and improve their goal difference, still has no sharp knife against the Ghana national team's striker, Ji'an.enough attention.

And now, a counterattack by the Ghana national team immediately made the players of the Portuguese national team suffer.

"The Ghana national team seems to be very simple in counterattack recently, but the simple pass is the best position to tear the opponent's defense and create space." Watching the Ghana national team once again assign football to the Portuguese country The right side of the team.Then Asamoah plugged in from the backcourt.Just like when he was in Juventus, he received the football very easily, then turned around, stepped on the football at the same time, and looked at the right back of the Portuguese national team, Pereira, who came up to defend in front of him.The official commentator of FIFA for this game, Silvio Louis said.

So let's not talk about why after the start of the second half, although the Portuguese national team took a 1-0 lead in the first half, Yu Wei launched an attack like the Ghana national team in the half.However, it has to be said that compared to the offense of the Portuguese national team, the offense of the Ghana national team is clearer and more efficient.

In the simplest terms, it can be seen from the choice of this attack.

In this game, the two full-backs of the Portuguese national team, and the right back is Pereira, who was born as an "authentic" right back.As for the left back, since Coentrao, the main starter in the first game, was injured, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo Bento, has adopted two different methods in the last round and this round.

In this game, Paul Bento chose Veloso, who played as a defensive midfielder in the last two games, to appear as a cameo at the left back position.However, I don't know if it means that Veloso's own strength is strong enough, or should it be said that because he played for the Italian club team, his tactical execution ability has also been greatly improved.

In short, in this game, Veloso has accomplished everything a left back should do very beautifully. Whether it is offense or defense, it is eye-catching.The goal scored by the Portuguese national team was an own goal by the opponent, but the player who passed the ball, or the player who caused the Ghana national team players to make mistakes, was Veloso.

Therefore, in this attack, the Ghana national team decisively passed the football to the right side of the Portuguese national team, which is relatively "weak", under the signal of their national coach Apia.And although the right back is the "orthodox" right back Pereira.

But Pereira is now facing Victor's team-mate in the club team, Asamoah who plays for Juventus.Even in an interview, Asamoah still thinks that his ability is not enough to support him to play for a top European club like Juventus.

However, the reason why the Juventus club brought Asamoah from Udine to Turin is also a recognition of his personal ability.Asamoah has a strong body, plenty of energy, can go up and down, and has a shot, and his tactical execution ability is also very commendable.The right back Pereira of the Portuguese national team defending him now dare not slack off.

He hurriedly put his hands behind his back, and then fixed his eyes on Asamoah who was stepping on the football, watching his next move.

However, in one-on-one offense and defense, it is often the defender who suffers the most.Because for offensive players, defensive players undoubtedly have to rely more on their own experience to predict whether the offensive player will make the next move whether it is a pass or a personal breakthrough.

As for offensive players, such as Asamoah now, he looks at the right back Pereira of the Portuguese national team who is facing an enemy in front of him, but Asamoah does not know the name of the defender in front of him now .Even if his name is printed on the back of the other party, Asamoah will not care.Just like when he was playing in the Juventus team, even facing Maicon and Zanetti, a first-class right back in Serie A, he would not be afraid of half a point.

Therefore, Asamoah's movements are also very simple. He also saw that on the other side of the court, his teammate of the national team and the captain of the Ghana national team Ji An has already raised his right hand high. Arm, while running towards the goal of the Portuguese national team.

So, Asamoah used his right foot to gently pull the football towards him. Pereira was unmoved by Asamoah's action. In his mind, he might guess that Ah Samoah's next move should be to dribble the ball laterally and prepare to pass it to other receiving players.

However, Pereira's prediction was wrong, because Asamoah's next move was to immediately pull back the sole of the football and gently push the football forward.Then immediately without stopping his right leg, he swung his right foot directly, and immediately passed the football towards Pereira's back.

Pereira yelled in his heart that it was not good when he saw Asamoah swung his foot to make a pass.Pereira, who found himself "deceived", of course has to make up for it quickly.However, even if he no longer cared whether the football would hit his arm, he opened his arms and threw his whole body forward in the direction of the football, trying to block Asamoah's cross.

However, the football has already been passed by Asamoah, and at the end of the football's flight line, a dark-skinned, muscular man with a mohawk standing upright, wearing the white jersey of the Ghana national team Yes, although he is a striker, he wears a defender's number, the captain of the Ghanaian national team No. 3, Jian.It was already a high jump, and then, under the blockage of the defender of the Portuguese national team who did not have time to jump up, standing on the goal line, the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team Beto, who had just turned around, panicked. Beneath the eyes and the limply upraised hands.Jian's forehead hit the football fiercely and smashed it towards the goal of the Portuguese national team.

"The goal is in! GOAL! Gian!" Silvio - Louie's voice immediately announced that the Ghana national team had equalized the score. 1 to 1!About 10 minutes into the second half, the Ghana national team equalized the score.Such a score is undoubtedly bad news for the players of the Portuguese national team.
