[football] walk side by side

As the commentator said - the pressure is back on the German side.

The two consecutive goals scored in the second half had a very positive impact on Portugal. Perhaps at the beginning of the second half, many Portuguese players actually gave up hope, even if they did not mention the gap of two goals behind Germany. As far as the scene is concerned, under the suppression of Germany, Portugal has never been close to victory.

These two goals have revived the confidence and courage of all Portuguese players.

There are still 15 minutes until the end of the game. Since they can score two goals in the first three 10 minutes, is it difficult to score another goal in the next 15 minutes?

Scolari walked to the edge of the court, watching the court nervously and excitedly.

If you change a team, you may be frustrated by being equalized, and you can't bear such a gap.But Scolari knew that these two goals had little impact on Germany's overall mood. There is a saying: "Football is a game in which eleven people play against eleven people, and the Germans win in the end. "Germany may not be the strongest team, but it must be the toughest one.

For Portugal, the 3-3 score is not enough. Considering that some players in the team are too old, the ideal situation is that they can solve Germany in the regular season and win the game.Otherwise, ending the game in overtime is also a good choice, but the penalty shootout is the most unbearable for Portugal.

Scolari is not confident that he can beat Germany in a penalty shootout.

The game continues.

Although Portugal's morale was high, Germany did not drop much. They still maintained the rigorous, tenacious, and perverted mental state of the Germans.

This is obviously not going to work.

Cyril thought silently, the longer the time dragged on, the greater the overall impact on Portugal, and he must find a way to change the deadlock in front of him, and try to end the game in the last 10 minutes.

Scolari made no changes.

For Cyril, this game gave him a very special feeling, because Scolari gave him too much freedom. This freedom is not only his freedom on the pitch, but also the team's tactics. freedom of.

This kind of freedom is completely different from the feeling under Mourinho in those years.

Mourinho is a head coach who often arranges everything in order before the game. He will study the opponent's data more than ten times before the game, and conduct a complete analysis of all possible situations in the game. Practice and think about solutions.When the team encountered a stalemate and the goal was delayed, Mourinho would even sit on the coach's bench and write a small note to send the loopholes he saw temporarily on the field to the relevant players.

During the Chelsea period, there were many deadlocks, which were broken by small details like Mourinho.

This game is completely different.

Scolari would not, like Mourinho, tell him concisely and exactly where the problems of Germany are. He put everything in Cyril's own hands, and let him observe, think, and implement.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of Cyril's work, because the game is fluid, and Scolari's move means that he will have to analyze everything in front of him in the shortest possible time, and then execute it, turning it into the team's goal. Advantage.

Cyril rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

This Mr. head coach really... gave him a problem.He has played so many games and encountered many strong enemies, but only this game has brought him the most distress and fatigue.

Worry is all trouble, and Cyril has no intention of giving up. This game makes him feel tricky, but isn't it a challenge?

Portugal's offense is mainly on the right. Compared with Simao, Portuguese players generally believe in Cristiano on the right. But correspondingly, the obstacles Cristiano encountered when breaking through are also The biggest thing is that Germany's defense can be said to be extremely vigilant against this domineering winger who has performed in the Premier League this season.

On the surface, Portugal is still using Cristiano's right flank as the main offensive line, but secretly, Cyril has been silently observing the timing of the offensive shifting to the left.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Cyril received a pass from Carvalho in the middle. He did not pass the ball out immediately, but made a one-two cooperation with Deco on the wing, and got rid of the chasing team. Metzelder.At this time, both Cyril and Deco's positions are more inclined to the right, which is also the side where Portugal often launches attacks.

Cyril watched the German defense.

The German side did not relax their vigilance on the left and center, but in general, their attention is still on the right where Cristiano is. When Cristiano is no longer "unique", he is in front. The aggressiveness of the field is still not to be underestimated.

He sent the ball to Cristiano's feet again.

The eyes of the two met in the air for a moment. At this moment, Cyril blinked at Cristiano, then quickly looked away, and his eyes fell lightly to the completely opposite left.The latter nodded invisibly, as if he understood what he meant, turned around to protect the football and at the same time avoided Ram's right foot sticking out to poke the ball, and then continued to dribble the ball.

So, Cristiano, he should understand what he means... right?

Thinking of Cristiano nodding without hesitation, Cyril felt that Cristiano should have understood what he meant, but seeing the scene where the opponent took the ball and left without looking back, Cyril was a little uncertain again.

Just to be on the safe side, he thought about it, and then he ran forward, ready to respond.

There was no ball under Cyril's feet, but this did not affect Rolfess' vigilance towards him. Seeing that he started to accelerate again, Rolfess immediately caught up and chased after Cyril.Cyril didn't pay attention to the German midfielder who was following him closely. He just wanted to reduce the burden of attacking in the frontcourt. distance.

Then at this moment, Cristiano suddenly passed the ball over!

Cyril: "..." No, his intention is to attack from the left, not to wait for him to the left, and then ask Cristiano to pass the ball back!

It was too late to be shocked by this unexpected pass, because Rolfes was still following him closely at this moment, his body took a step forward faster than his consciousness and controlled the ball under his feet, and Cyril's gaze was just right Looking in the direction where Cristiano was, he couldn't stop himself from being stunned for a moment.

Although Cristiano seems to have completely misunderstood what he meant, the fact in front of him is that when he and Cristiano passed back and forth, Germany's defensive center of gravity also began to shift to the left. It seems that Cyril's plan It's about to fail, but now on the right, there are only Mertesacker and Hitzelsperger left in front of Cristiano.

Cyril's eyes lit up!

While calculating the distance between him and Cristiano in his mind, he observed the situation around him.At this moment, the distance between him and Cristiano belongs to a sloping straight line. Now that the German defensive center of gravity is immediately shifted to the left, it would be a good choice to pass the ball back to the right again, but the problem is that in this On a slanted line, there are still many German players in the middle.

If you can find the best angle to pass diagonally back...

Angle, angle, angle!

During the interval of thinking, Cyril did not just stay where he was, he was looking for the angle he wanted while driving the ball forward, but Germany's defense is very tight on this line, and shifting the center of gravity to the left does not mean that they will Not paying attention to Cristiano anymore, blocking the route of Cyril's return is the best proof.

Once Cyril has the intention of trying to pass back to Cristiano, the players who happen to be distributed near this line will immediately block the ball in the middle.

Block it...?

As soon as this idea came up, Cyril's heart moved, and he finally remembered what he had forgotten - the ground could not reach Cristiano's feet, and he could still take the air route!Thinking of this, Cyril immediately rubbed the ball up, and then kicked the ball hard to the right!

Immediately there was a burst of exclamation from the fans stands, some were surprised and excited, and some were shocked - for the Portuguese fans, this pass can be said to be very familiar to them.

Cyril's over-the-top pass and Cristiano's one-handed shot after receiving the ball.From the European Youth Championship in 2002 to the European Cup in 2008, from the youthful experimentation to the acquaintance and casualness, this cooperation seems to have become the symbolic cooperation of the two, and as time goes by, it has become more and more The more proficient and tacit understanding, the more "simple".

If it is used for the first time, it is a desperate ultimate move for the two of them.So time has passed and today, this cooperation has become as easy and commonplace as eating and drinking for the two. It has changed from a rare cooperation to a scene that can be seen frequently on Portuguese football courts.

In the words touted by the Portuguese media - "The cooperation between Slade and Ronaldo is already playing like a game."

Beside the Portuguese coaching bench, the entire Portuguese coaching staff, all Portuguese players on the bench, and the fans in the stands all stood up excitedly, and some fans even raised their hands high, ready to cheer at any time. Voice--

"Cristiano Ronaldo --! Cristiano Ronaldo! GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" The Portuguese commentator excitedly shouted Cristiano's name twice: "Hat-trick! Ronaldo staged his country in the game against Germany The first hat-trick of the team's career! He used the third goal to kill Germany!! Now there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the game! Portugal reversed Germany 4-3!!"

"Portugal made a stunning comeback at the Parc San Jakob!! They came back from two goals behind Germany and scored three goals in the second half!"

Cristiano ran towards Cyril the second he confirmed the goal, and while hugging the opponent, he pressed his forehead to the opponent's forehead, and shouted loudly into Cyril's ear: "Cyril, We did it!"

This scene is very similar to the game when they won the European Youth Championship together, but what Cyril remembered was the night when he was defeated by Greece four years ago. He knew what Cristiano meant—

After four years, they finally came to the European Cup final again.
