Iron Man on the pitch

Ronaldo rushed to the away audience and performed a kneeling skating in front of the few Portuguese fans who came from afar.

Then Ronaldo stood up and brimmed and hugged the Portuguese players who were running over. When only Li Ling was left, Ronaldo put his arms around Li Ling's shoulders, and the two of them faced the audience together. Ronaldo pointed his other hand at Li Ling. This action allowed Li Ling to get the Cheers warmly.

"Good, Li Ling! There are 25 minutes left. Let's cheer up and win this game!" After equalizing the score, Ronaldo was very excited. The offense since the beginning of the second half made him feel much more relaxed and he had the ability to keep it. The forward at the fulcrum of the field is comfortable.

The Danish team, who had just lost the ball, quickly changed its tactics, and the whole team pressed on it, becoming more aggressive. Although the victory or defeat of this game does not have much impact on the Denmark's group ranking, the Denmark team, who played at home, still wants to win a victory. After all, the two teams had a game in Portugal in the previous game, Denmark played 3 away: 2 won the game and they were confident that they would beat Portugal again.

However, the Danish team's strong attack was not as smooth as before.

In the last game in September 2008, the Denmark was able to achieve results in the strong attack because Queros had a 4-3-3 formation and was not strong in defense. Moreover, Ronaldo has been recuperating from July to October due to injury and missed the game.

In this game, Queros played in a mishap and placed Pepe in the midfielder position in the 4-4-2 lineup, strengthening the defensive intensity.

The Portuguese team's formation was 4-4-2 when attacking, and 4-5-1 when defending. Ronaldo stayed alone near the central circle, intimidating the Danish central defender to not dare to push forward; Deco's position is at the forefront of the top of the penalty area, which can not only interfere with the Danish team's football operation, but also send out a fatal first time when counterattacking. Direct pass.

Although Li Ling was pushed to the center position, he could retreat deeply when defending to participate in the defense. Li Ling was originally from a front midfielder, so there was no problem with retreating and playing in the midfield. He only played in the second half and was full of energy.

Li Ling and Pepe, who returned to defense, became two gates to intercept the Danish team's attack. The Denmark team, which was held back by Cristiano Ronaldo, had two central defenders. The number of players was at a disadvantage in the attack and was technically at a disadvantage. The ground attack was almost impossible to succeed, so I could only raise it and fight.

But whether it is Ricardo Cavaro, Bruno Alves, Pepe, and Li Ling, the air defense capabilities are very good. The Denmark team cannot achieve offensive success through systematic tactics, and can only score a goal. It is placed on the accident with a small probability.

The Portuguese team's counterattack from time to time shocked the Danish players and the Danish fans throughout the stadium.

In the counterattack, Li Ling spared no effort to run back and forth at both ends of the court, and became a B2B (box to box from one penalty area to the other) striker. Of course, there is no B2B at this time, even if it was later, the midfielder who had B2B functions were still midfielders.

Li Ling's actual position on the court is not so B2B, but G2G (goal to goal, goal is the goal). After all, when he attacks, he will act as a fulcrum in the Danish team's penalty area and outside the small penalty area. , from time to time to retreat to the small penalty area of ​​one's own side to help the full-back defender defend air defense.

Normal people can't play like this, that is, in this life-and-death battle, Li Ling only took the field in the first half and could run so hard.

"Oh my god, do you think that No. 23 guy is a naturalized player? But he is fighting more than anyone else on the court." In the visiting team fan area in the stands, a Portuguese fan who came from afar was thumping wildly Holding his partner's thigh, he was amazed at Li Ling's performance.

"Oh Shit!! Can you pat your own leg! He is really hardworking. I don't care whether he is a naturalized player or not, his performance conquered me." His companion held down the hand that patted his thigh, and was fiercely ruthless. Slap the other person back.

"I knew Li Ling when I watched the Portuguese Super League. He was very good when he played in the front midfielder, but I didn't expect that he was so versatile!" An uncle waving the national flag behind them inserted their conversation, and He slapped his chest solemnly and said, "I must wear Li Ling's No. 23 jersey in the next game to cheer him on!"

"That's right, dad!" The uncle's daughter, a young girl who is already wearing a traditional burgundy jersey of the Portuguese national team, with No. 23 printed on it, twisting her enchanting waist, "Li Ling is so handsome, I'm not I understand why Queros doesn't need him to start!"

"What you'd better say is that he plays football handsomely! ”

After 20 minutes of attacking, the Danish team chose to shrink the formation due to their physical strength declined and their intensity of fighting was weakened. After all, for the Denmark team, which is the first in the 16-point group, a draw is acceptable.

The Portugal team got the opportunity to lead the offense at the last moment of the game, and under the organization of Deco, they pushed the formation out. But in the previous fierce confrontation, their physical strength also dropped significantly. But the goal of Portugal in this game is to win. Including injury stoppage time, there is not much time left for the Portugal team, with less than 10 minutes.

The two teams replaced Thiago, Nani, and full-back Duda, center Ugo Almeida, let Li Ling return to the midfield and The formation becomes 4-3-3, ready to take a life-threatening blow.

However, Portugal's offense became slow.

Although Ugo Almeida has a height of 190cm and a strong body, her skills as a fulcrum center are not good, and her awareness of tearing the defense with running positions is much worse. In addition, the Denmark team made up their minds to retreat, completely gave up the counterattack, replaced the forward Thomason, and replaced another defender.

Ronaldo wanted to break through with the ball, but there were people in front of him, and he wanted to shoot from a long time but had no room; Deco couldn't find a suitable opportunity if he wanted to pass directly.

Li Ling, who retreated to the midfield position, adapted a little, suddenly realized that he had been practicing forward attacks in the club for a long time, and it was just right to use them.

So during a corner kick, Li Ling found C Ronaldo: "Cristiano, the subsequent attack let me cooperate with Nani and Bosingwa on the right side. You go and find an opportunity to complete the last shot, and my shooting skills are still Not very mature.”

Ronaldo looked at Li Ling deeply, and thought that Li Ling was not inferior to his dribbling skills and excellent passing vision, he nodded at the end. Afterwards, Ronaldo invited Nani and Bosingwa to come over and told them quickly and briefly to cooperate with Li Ling.

The corner kick cone was suddenly cleared by the Danish defender, and the Portuguese team got the football in the backcourt and started organizing the offense again.

In this offense, Deco did not hand over the football to Ronaldo, but to right winger Nani.

Right back Bosingwa rushed over from Nani's side as soon as he got the ball, preparing to put the ball down.

The 4-minute injury stoppage time has passed, and it has been the time to decide life and death.
