The scene of the draw came so quickly, and many Italian players also became nervous at this moment.

They know that Portugal is not so easy to be defeated by such a goal.

In the 24th minute of the game, Portugal launched another attack. This time the attack made the Italians break into a cold sweat. Deco took the lead, but the last attack was not someone familiar to Italy.

When Maniche took a long shot towards the goal, not to mention other people, Buffon almost broke out in a cold sweat.

As we all know, long-range shots are actually one of the most difficult shots to resist. Such shots are powerful, and the most important thing is that they are fast enough. It often happens that the ball was still tens of meters away in the last second, but in the blink of an eye Time... the football has already flown into the goal.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, and in terms of the conditioned reflex of the human body, it is actually very difficult to muster up the courage to save such a goal.

However, someone did it. Maniche's long-range shot was not successfully sent into the goal. Gattuso jumped up and successfully blocked the ball with his shoulder.

When it fell, Gattuso seemed to have a bad expression. Obviously, this ball was not very easy for him, and he may even have suffered a slight injury because of it-Figo is very touched by this.

"Nuno's shoulder really hurt when the ball hit him. I can fully understand how Gattuso feels at this moment." Figo said he understood very well.

Juan glanced at him: "Captain, instead of sharing the same illness with your opponent here, you might as well think about what you will do when you play."

After a pause, he pursed his lips: "Actually, even at this time, I still prefer you not to play."

"Hey, this is the final of the World Cup, and it's also my last game, how can you not let me play?" Figo said half-jokingly with his eyes wide open, "When you return to Laco, you can do whatever you want with me , but at least let me show up at this time, right?"

"...I'm not the coach of your national team, so I can't make the decision." Juan replied calmly.

"If I am sent to the stands, you have to be careful Juan." Scolari said with a smile back.

"..."

This head coach, can you please don't set a flag for yourself? ?

Although the ball was blocked by Gattuso, it did not fly off the field. Portugal once again managed to control the ball under its feet.

The man with the ball was Postiga, who looked at the situation in front of him and then looked back at Deco.

This is a habit he developed in Deportivo. No matter what, he must first take into account the needs of the midfielder. After all, when he was in Deportivo, he was mainly responsible for the position of the shadow striker. In the national team, he subconsciously placed himself in the same position.

Deco didn't expect him to look back, blinked and realized it was asking if he wanted to pass the ball back to him.

Portugal was a little dumbfounded because he didn't realize what the man meant until Postiga passed the ball back to him.

However, he immediately gave the ball to Cristiano after he got the football. At this moment, Juan is not on the court, Figo is not there, and Carvalho, who is the most stable in the backcourt, has also been suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards. He is the leader alone. , at least at this moment, he needs to take into account the conversion of offense and defense, as well as the basic defensive organization, the task is very arduous.

Of course, at least at this moment, there is still a Cristiano on the court.

Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed Portugal's hope of rising in the future, especially on the slopes. He has shown amazing qualities. At this moment, football can exert its greatest power under his feet.

While getting the football, he accelerated his breakthrough from the right side. When he was almost at the bottom of the penalty area, Cristiano was entangled. He made a VIP cross, and the football fell to Postiga's feet again.

Postiga looked up.

In fact, he really isn't a very good shooter.

Since his debut, he has been aware of his flaws and inadequacies, but he is immersed in all the fancy work that he can do under his feet, blinded by applause and cheers, and always feels that he can actually walk like this On top of the world.

Then it was Juan who woke him up.

Since then, Postiga has been reborn from Nirvana. He has stumbled along the way, but his progress has indeed been rapid.

At least in the national team, his playing priority is actually ranked ahead of Quaresma-this is indeed a rare thing for him, although his position does not conflict with Quaresma, Yet he was grateful to Scolari for giving him the chance.

He must seize this opportunity and not sink any further.

At this moment, there is Materazzi in front of the goal, Cannavaro, and Buffon, the world's goalkeeper.

But all he could see was the goal, and the tiny gap in it.

"boom!"

The football draws a wonderful arc in the air!

"Goooooal!! Postiga!! The football went into the goal from a tricky angle! Portugal leads again!"

This goal was really amazing, even Cristiano who passed the ball was stunned. After all, Postiga is really not very good at shooting. What he is better at is actually tearing the defense. Larry probably sent him to the game in a similar sense.

——In the beginning, his task was really only to serve as a wingman for Cristiano and to tear apart the defense.

This ball is a complete surprise! !

Postiga himself didn't seem to expect it. He stood still for a minute or two, wiped his sweat and raised his head to look at the goal. He happened to see Buffon fish the ball out of the goal. A goal was indeed scored.

He... scored a goal?

He scored!

Scoring a goal in the final of the World Cup, this feeling is really unreal. In the next second, black shadows are overwhelming, and Postiga subconsciously opens his hand, and then he is lifted up...

Um? ?

He looked down, and Cristiano Ronaldo, the silly boy, lifted him up and laughed, his whole face turned red, and his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

After being put down, his seniors also came over to hug him. It was the first time that Postiga was rubbed on the head by a group of people. He himself felt very embarrassed, and his face was even redder than when he was running just now.

...It should be said that he finally understands how Cristiano feels when he is slapped on the head by a group of people?I used to secretly laugh at how this young man could turn red when his head was rubbed by a group of people, but now I probably understand...

Cristiano was obviously also very happy for him, and stood by his side, ready to give him a loving hug after everyone dispersed, but Postiga was already very embarrassed, he coughed lightly and hugged him, and at the same time He whispered in his ear: "Cristiano, you should go for tanning in the future... Your face turns red too easily."

Normally, when he said something like this, Cristiano would jump up and hit someone, but today he didn't. On the contrary, the young man still laughed in his ear: "Together?"

"...Okay." Postiga gritted his teeth and replied.

"Beautiful goal, Postiga suddenly showed unexpected talent in this regard, obviously Scolari was also very surprised, he returned to the bench and sat down as if to say something to Dias next to him ...Lip-whisperer, lip-whisperer?"

"You don't need to shout...Looking at the expression is exchanging the experience of the players with Dias."

Scolari was indeed exchanging experience with Juan on the use of players, and it was Postiga, who felt really surprised: "Postiga has such a shooting technique, why didn't you tell me earlier? "

"I just found out." Juan replied with a smile. Obviously, he was in a very good mood. He was also proud of Postiga's performance. After all, he is also his own player!

Italy did not become impatient because of this, Lippi's expression was not very good-looking, but after he took a deep breath, he stood near the sideline and began to direct the players to move on.

Italy fell into a passive situation, which made him feel bad at the beginning, but such a passive situation made it easier for them to play a defensive counterattack.

Putting myself in the position of a weak team, in fact, this is the normal situation, and the next is the battlefield where they really want to start preparing.

Italy did not give up. It was still there in the [-]th minute of the game. Camoranesi broke through the sideline from the right and won a corner kick for Italy. This time it was still Pirlo who took the penalty.

Pirlo looked up, followed the same pattern and still drove the football to the back point.

The person waiting there was still Materazzi.

They succeeded last time, but if they can succeed this time, it may be that Portugal's defense line is all out of their minds.

Materazzi scored with a header, but this time Paulo Ferreira blocked him. After the last goal, he paid great attention to Materazzi. This time he obviously saw the opportunity, so He directly knocked the ball out.

The two look like they're rebounding in a basketball game at this moment—probably the only difference is that they can't use their hands.

The football was knocked out, and at the same time the whistle sounded.

The two fell to the ground at the same time. It was obvious that the collision just now was serious. Materazzi grinned and said that the opponent should be awarded a penalty for this collision. First.

"Why? You gave Portugal a penalty at the beginning..." Materazzi was obviously a little unwilling when he stood up. He muttered a few words, but the referee looked calm: "Are you here Question my sentence?"

"Of course not!" Materazzi smiled, turned and left.

In fact, Materazzi did a lot of dirty work as a defender, and he did pinch Paul Ferreira below him just now, but he accidentally let the referee see him, pretending It's useless to be innocent, and he is actually very unwilling about it.

--One.

At this time, they only need a penalty kick, and they can bring the score back again!

Juan also saw Materazzi's intentions. He frowned and signaled Figo to pay attention to the field: "Figo, look at Italy's No. [-]."

"Oh, Materazzi...what's the matter?" Figo glanced at the opponent, "He doesn't play very cleanly. I guess I will avoid him when I play later."

Juan nodded: "Of course I know who he is...and it's natural for you to avoid him on the court. I just want to let everyone pay attention to him."

Scolari nodded: "Materazzi is not the main player in this World Cup in Italy, but his strength should not be underestimated..."

Italy did hand over the initiative in the following time. They shrank themselves and let Portugal's indiscriminate bombing remain unmoved.

In the [-]st minute, Postiga dribbled a low pass from the left, Pauletta shot with his left foot [-] meters in front of the goal and was firmly held by Buffon.

The Italian legendary goalkeeper's expression is not very good at this moment.

Of course it doesn't look good. In this World Cup, no one can send a football into the goal he guards!

However, Portugal did it!

And twice!

Although it is impossible for the goalkeeper not to concede the ball, to be honest, conceding two goals so quickly still makes him very unhappy.

He sent the football to Pirlo's feet. Pirlo can be said to be the engine of AC Milan, and also the metronome of the entire Italian national team. With him on the court, most of the players don't have to worry about organizing offense. and there will always be a standard Gattuso by his side to help him overcome all difficulties...

Deco on the opposite side was even more envious.

Italy quickly took advantage of this to play an exquisite little cooperation on the right. Pirlo dribbled the ball and Gattuso cleared the obstacles ahead. Coupled with the cooperation of the surrounding teammates, this wave of counterattacks was fast and steady.

Gattuso broke into the penalty area with a through pass. Toni shot from the right side of the goal [-] meters away. However, the football was blocked by Meera desperately and Italy got another chance for a corner kick.

Pirlo stood expressionlessly next to the corner flagpole and prepared to kick off.

The Italian and Portuguese players are all ready to go.

Will he find Materazzi again?

Or a new target?

Nobody knew, not even his teammates.

The referee whistled, Pirlo looked forward and took two steps back.

"Bang!" This is the sound of a football hitting the crossbar.

"Huh..." This was the voice of the Portuguese fans who breathed a sigh of relief.

I really want to breathe a sigh of relief, the goal was so thrilling, Pirlo almost sent the football to Tony's head, and Tony only needed to shake his head to send the football into the goal. Cardo and the Portuguese players were more vigilant and reacted almost immediately.

Fortunately, Tony hit the ball too high.

Portugal's defense made a slight mistake this time, but fortunately, they were lucky this time.

If it’s just like this, it’s fine. In fact, the house in Italy is leaking and it’s windy and rainy. In the chaos just now, everyone jumped up together, and when they fell, their positions were also off. Perotta, the unlucky guy, was kicked by Valente Stepped on the ankle.

And to make matters worse, it seems that the shoe spikes hit it.

The unlucky Perotta limped to the sidelines for treatment, and seemed unable to make it in a short period of time. Italy could only accept a temporary state of ten to eleven.

In the [-]th minute, the unrelenting Portugal attacked the opposite goal again, the opportunity was destroyed, and finally it was Portugal's turn to take a corner kick.

Deco stood at the corner flagpole on the left and looked in the direction of the players, then sighed.

To be honest, at this moment, Portugal does not have an offensive point that can be used, otherwise it may be much easier for him at this moment.

But this is not something that can be solved in a day or two, and it is useless to say these at this moment, so the Portuguese midfielder took a corner kick after doing a while of mental construction.

The quality of this ball is quite high, and Pauletta was found accurately, but Pauletta's ball went directly to the far post.

...Look, what did he say?

But he is very calm, after all, he is used to it, as long as his family is still in the lead, there will be no major problems.

However, Deco, who is optimistic by nature, soon stopped laughing-in the [-]rd minute, he passed someone in the frontcourt and was tripped by Pirlo.

When he turned his head to see who the opponent was, Deco himself became very dull.

Pirlo!

To be honest, even if he was tripped by Totti, he wouldn't feel anything, but Pirlo! !The founder of Eye Defense, the real crispy engine!

Under Deco's shocked or unbelievable eyes, Pirlo stood up slowly and looked at him with a blank expression.

…To be honest, seeing his expression, Deco would subconsciously think of his teammate on the bench who always had the same expression but was much younger. Deco shuddered silently, and then prepared to Stand up and be self-reliant.

To be honest, it's quite embarrassing to be uprooted by Pirlo...

However, to his surprise, Pirlo reached out to him to pull him up. Deco looked at him in surprise and held his hand.

In the last minute of the first half, Portugal almost made a mistake-in the 1th minute, Costinha accidentally dropped the ball from the backcourt. There was a brief laugh from the stands.

The first half is over.
