Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"aoaoaoooooooo——"

The atmosphere at the Luzhniki Stadium was frenetic, with the chants from Portuguese and neutral fans deafening.

England fans may be affected by their inherent gentlemanly baggage. The fans who cheered and cheered were completely unable to compare with Portugal.

Mourinho, who serves as a guest commentator on BBC Sports TV, once again complained about the atmosphere in the English stadium: "English fans, like many Manchester United fans, are very good at restraining themselves. Personally, as a fan, you should spare no effort to cheer for your beloved team. Cheer on and make your presence felt!”

"Indeed, the Portuguese fans are a good example of what it means to be a fan. They did their best."

Commentator Lineker nodded in approval: "If you simply want to feel the atmosphere of the World Cup, you can do it in front of the TV."

Except for some of the England fans in front of the TV who didn't like the high-profile roars, most of them were in agreement.

If you don’t cheer up when you go to the venue, why grab the tickets?

Wouldn't it be better to give it to the fans who can continue to cheer the team crazily?

The English players led by Harry Kane worked very hard, especially Sterling, who made a fatal mistake. He planned to make up for it and help the team equalize the score.

But how can Portugal's defense be torn apart so easily?

Not to mention how powerful Portugal's defense is, England's offense is actually not very strong either.

They did score a lot of goals in the first two rounds of the group stage, but the strength of Tunisia and Panama is there, and anyone can score a few.

The real test of the ability to attack tough battles is the 1/8 finals and the 1/4 finals.

Whether England faced Colombia or Sweden, their overall strength was relatively weak.

Being able to advance to the semi-finals is directly related to good luck.

As the game approached 40 minutes, Portugal had more possessions, more shots, and more hits than England.

The English fans in the audience were terrified, while the Portuguese fans were excited and full of expectations to watch the game.

In their view, expanding the score is only a matter of time.

England head coach Southgate stood in the technical command area and made tactical body movements from time to time. In this way, he tried to inspire the players on the field.

In addition, when the game came to the end of the first half, he also had to remind the players on the field.

During this period, it is very easy to score goals.

It would be best for our side to score a goal, but... we are afraid that the other side will score first.

Although some of the English players on the field were dissatisfied, they had to be wary of Martin's superb ability to seize and create opportunities.

This is often the case, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

as predicted!

There was a mistake in the pass in the frontcourt attack. Fortunately, there were not many people involved in the attack. With the tacit defense of the defensive players and Henderson's decisive foul, Martin was prevented from picking up Pepe at the cost of a yellow card when switching from defense to offense. The pass moves forward.

According to the slow-motion replay, as long as Martin successfully leads the ball out, it will be a 4-on-4 situation.

England's players' steady play allowed them to avoid pitfalls.

When referee Cakir blew his whistle, the scoreboard showed Portugal leading England 1:0.

"The first half is over!"

"Portugal led England 1:0 into the halftime break thanks to Martin's assist to Cristiano Ronaldo's goal."

Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly.

The on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot of his face. He stood side by side with Ronaldo and B, speaking a few words from time to time, with a faint smile on his lips.

The mood of the England players who appeared in the same frame was obviously affected by the score, and they all walked towards the tunnel with frowns on their faces.

"Although Martin's performance in the first half was subject to certain limitations, it is undeniable that his performance was very good. England's overall defensive performance after conceding the ball in the first half was excellent, but it also paid a huge price. Henderson , Stones, Lingard and Ashley Young received yellow cards respectively, which will inevitably affect their performance in the second half."

Guest commentator Xu Yang commented.

Mourinho, a guest commentator from BBC Sports TV, did not hesitate to praise Martin: "There is no doubt that Martin's ability is epic. I know that many fans think Martin is not as good as Pele and Diego, but I know that when I wait until At the end of this World Cup, he will definitely become the number one in history!"

Such an evaluation makes Martin fans sound very comfortable, but for those fans who don't like Martin and Mourinho, it seems like hearing the most ridiculous joke in the world.

As a result, a lot of people on major social platforms ridiculed Mourinho's comments on Martin.

The fanatical atmosphere at Luzhniki Stadium has dropped to freezing point, and fans from both sides need to take this time to recuperate.

Some go to the stadium store to buy food and drinks, some go to the toilet, and most of them take out their mobile phones to kill boring time.

Substitute players from both teams entered the court to warm up and prepare for their possible debut in the second half.

Visiting team locker room.

That's the dressing room where the England players are.

Head coach Southgate once again gave his players a boost and incited their emotions.

It's just that the effect was relatively poor. The players did not show the impassioned spirit they had before the start of the first half.

Southgate can only suggest to himself: better than nothing.

The Portuguese players at the other end are in the dressing room.

The players were positively affected by the lead and everyone was smiling.

Seeing the head coach Santos walking over with the tactical board, he looked over in a tacit understanding, and he kept the overflowing joy in his heart and showed a solemn expression.

The World Cup semi-finals only end at half-time, and the winner is only if the lead is maintained until the end of the game.

Santos was very satisfied with the players' reaction. He first made a series of comments on the overall performance of the first half, made corresponding corrections based on everyone's performance, and finally talked about how to play in the second half.

To put it simply, do a good job on the defensive end first.

Leave it to Martin on the offensive end, he knows what to do.

Although this kind of tactical explanation made many players feel speechless, they also admired Santos. At least he did not show off his operations, which led to the opposite.

The fifteen-minute halftime passed quickly. After hearing the game preparation bell, players from both sides returned to the court through the tunnel as soon as possible to prepare for the 45 minutes of the second half.

If at this point in time, England cannot equalize the score, or the point difference is widened by Portugal, then Portugal will join the French team in the finals and reach the World Cup finals historically.

French coach Deschamps in the audience had a simple idea. He hoped England would defeat Portugal...

By then, we will definitely be able to easily defeat England in this stadium and win the second World Cup championship in team history.

And he will also become the third person to win the World Cup as a player and head coach after Zagallo and Beckenbauer.
