After Figo came on the field, Portugal's originally flustered midfield immediately stabilized. Frank smiled and said: "Look at the field, look at Portugal, they are clearly not playing in the midfield, but playing in a midfielder." A person with a stable military spirit."

"After Figo was on the court, Portugal quickly found a backbone. Obviously, they have recovered their disadvantages a little bit." Dean is also optimistic about the situation on the court. After all, as long as Portugal continues to stabilize, victory is close at hand. !

However, I don't know if he trusted his captain too much. At No. 60 minutes, Meera made another mistake.

-He brought down Toni and was warned by Elizondo with a yellow card.

Lippi obviously felt that he needed to make some changes at this time, so after a little thought, he made an amazing choice-using three substitutions at the same time!

Perotta, Totti and Camoranesi were replaced, in contrast, De Rossi, Iaquinta and Del Piero came on!

Del Piero also received a warm welcome from the Italian fans when he played.

The Italian zebra prince was obviously very calm. He rubbed Camoranesi's head and seemed to say something, then turned his head and glanced at the field.

Juan couldn't help but "tsk" from the sidelines. What he didn't expect was that there was also a person "tsk" in the stands at this moment.

Redondo glanced at Guti: "What's wrong with you?"

Obviously, this boss has long been used to someone's convulsions or death behavior from time to time, and he used to have some headaches, but now he can accept it without changing his face.

"I just want to say, those of you who are called princes really look alike." Guti waved his hand and touched Raul beside him with his elbow. "Every one of them looks so good at showing off."

The current prince Raul of the Bernabéu and the eternal prince Redondo looked at each other, and at the same time showed a smile to Guti.

"Jose Gutierrez, what did you just say? I don't seem to hear clearly." Redondo's voice sounded a little soft.

"Jose, we've known each other for so many years, I didn't know you actually looked at me like this." Raul "cries" with a smile on his face.

"..." Guti opened his mouth.

He wanted to say, can he slap his mouth hard now to swallow back the words that he subconsciously said just now?

When he said this, he really didn't think much about it, but he felt that Piero's temperament was very familiar, so he subconsciously complained, but he didn't expect to directly poke the two big guys...

Compared with Guti's wanting to cry in the stands at this moment, Juan smiled subconsciously. At this moment, his thoughts are surprisingly consistent with Guti.

——The princes really have a certain degree of commonality, even if their own temperaments are different.

Seeing Italy make such a bold substitution, Scolari couldn't sit still. He looked back at Juan, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

This is the final, and he would rather be on the safe side, and let a few veterans on the court ensure that no goals have been conceded so far. However, the tragic case of the Brazilian team seems to be ahead. He took a deep breath, and for the first time there was A tangled expression.

In the 62nd minute, Italy successfully scored!

Pirlo again, as the team's midfield master, he is often responsible for taking most of the set kicks, and this free kick is no exception.

This time the free kick from the left was well positioned and Tony jumped high enough that he headed it straight in from just 9 meters away!

The football flew into the goal and Ricardo couldn't even react!

Tony raised his hands to celebrate!

However... will it really go so smoothly?

When Italy wanted to celebrate, the assistant referee on the sidelines raised the flag to signal, and the smiles on the faces of the Italian players stopped at the corners of their mouths.

— Offside!

Tony was also obviously stunned for a moment, and turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Ricardo Costa and Valente high-five each other, with expressions on their faces after the catastrophe.

He understood why the Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo didn't respond... Obviously he has seen through his teammates' plot!

Tony's expression was full of resentment, he covered his face after throwing his hands angrily and forced himself to calm down, but it didn't seem to work.

After 2 minutes, Del Piero dribbled in with the ball past Valente and volleyed from 11 meters in front of the goal. Ricardo made an excellent save this time!

Actually speaking, Ricardo is an offensive goalkeeper, especially at the last moment, he likes to come forward to assist, and he will always be there when taking penalty kicks, which makes him He was very excited.

But in most cases, Ricardo still hoped that the game would end safely, and they didn't need to have a thrilling game, that would be too unkind to the heart...

Obviously, however, some people don't think so.

In the 65th minute, Cannavaro made a brave steal in the backcourt, but it was a pity that De Rossi failed to seize this opportunity. The football bounced on the post and was hugged by Ricardo live.

Portugal immediately seized this opportunity and played a wave of counterattacks, but this time the person who did not seize the opportunity became Pauleta, and the football volleyed directly over the goal frame.

Time passed, and if this continues, the Portuguese team's chances of winning will become greater and greater. Scolari even turned his head and smiled at Juan: "Juan, I feel that you may have buried too much behind you." It’s too deep, and I don’t even have a chance to play.”

Juan smiled: "Isn't this very good?"

Indeed, if it really went so smoothly, Juan would not force himself to play, after all, the team's victory is the most important thing.

However, nothing is absolute, and Portugal's victory did not come to them so easily.

Italy did not give up on this. In fact, some of them have already suffered a loss, so they will never relax until the last moment of the game.

In the 73rd minute, Tony unloaded the football 10 meters in front of the goal and turned around to shoot. Ricardo hugged the football in his arms - but he had already handballed it first and kicked Meera's foot when he shot. on the legs.

The unlucky Mela limped to the edge of the court for treatment. When Scolari asked him how he was, he gritted his teeth and answered that there was nothing to persevere.

Of course he has to persevere. Both he and Paulo Ferreira didn't perform very well in the first half. Naturally, they have to perform well at this time, so that there can be no more mistakes.

Scolari was also very helpless. He criticized these two people after the halftime break. He didn't intend to really ask them to play hard, but just hoped that they could refresh a little bit. Who knew that these two people were so straightforward. Fight, try to stop the ball even if you are injured...

This also makes him how to face down and reprimand these players next time? ?

After a brief treatment, Mela returned to the court again, leaving a somewhat tragic back.

Scolari watched him start to run on the court, couldn't help sighing and shook his head: "I know, I'm unlucky to meet you people."

"???" Juan heard this sentence as soon as he stood up. He looked back and found that Scolari had a very helpless smile on his face. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look unhappy. , On the contrary, it is full of gratification and pride.

Italy did not give up, and soon they won a new opportunity - when Costinia and Tony competed for the header, their hand movements were too big and they were sentenced to a foul. The referee ignored the Portuguese team's protest and directly showed a yellow card.

Free kick for Italy.

Standing in front of football is still Pirlo.

The legendary Italian midfielder even had a cold expression on his face at this moment - although he has always been so expressionless.

To be honest, such an opponent is the most troublesome.

No one can judge anything from his face, nor do they know which direction his shot will go next, let alone what choice he will make, and there is not even a chance to judge.

Ricardo was obviously also very troubled by this, but he still directed everyone to line up a personal wall, ready to meet Pirlo's shot at any time.

Juan doesn't know much about Pirlo, but he has already heard about the frightening organizational skills of this midfielder-and it was from Redondo's mouth.

Of course, he still remembered the next sentence added by Redondo: "It's just that he is a little lacking in shooting..."

At this moment, Redondo in the stands said the same thing. When everyone around him was nervous, he was the most relaxed one. Guti wondered why he was not nervous. Redondo gave a very concise and powerful answer.

"He can't shoot."

The whistle sounded, Pirlo took a deep breath and shot!

The football went over the wall!

Also crossed the goal!

Several people in the stands were silent for a while and looked back at Redondo. The Argentine boss raised his eyebrows as it should be: "I said so."

Italy was obviously in a hurry, especially their captain Cannavaro, who collided with Figo when he was fighting for the top.

Figo had a painful expression when he fell.

Originally, his shoulders were not very comfortable, and the expression on his face was even more painful when he fell down. Juan and Scolari stood up almost at the same time.

"Right shoulder." Juan quickly judged Figo's injured shoulder. Although the left shoulder injury was not an added injury, the two of them were still not happy.

—— Figo was injured again, how can this be good?

When Figo came down to receive treatment, Juan went to check on the situation, while Scolari stood in front and continued to watch the situation on the court. Figo had only been up for a while and everyone had calmed down. If he leaves at this time The words will definitely cause the players to be emotionally wrong.

He had to keep an eye on it, lest anything happen.

Figo and Juan looked at each other silently. Juan's brows were already tightly frowned, but in the end he slowly nodded at Figo, turned and returned to the bench.

Figo was a little dazed by his actions, but soon understood what he meant, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

——This person is just so awkward.

When returning to the court, the Portuguese fans gave their captain a warm applause, and it seemed that even the stands were shaking.

They all knew that Figo was playing with injuries at this moment, and the injuries were added to the injury, but their captain did not give up!

They shouldn't have given up!

Figo has a great invisible effect on the court. Almost everyone can be excited for him. He is the most morale-boosting person on the court.

Juan has already seen Figo's extraordinary talent in this regard, both in the national team and in the club.

Figo inspires everyone.

In the 83rd minute, Italy's left corner kick was destroyed, and Tony volleyed with his left foot 20 meters in front of the goal and was blocked.

In the 85th minute, he broke into the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area and knocked back, and Materazzi broke in front of Zidane.

Seeing that there are still a few minutes left in the time, Italy is about to bid farewell to the World Cup, and even Portugal subconsciously breathes a sigh of relief.

—they're about to win!

But will Italy hand over the victory so easily?

No.

At least in Piero's view, it's not over yet!

Zebra Prince scored almost a buzzer-beater goal in the last match between Italy and Germany to help Italy advance to the final. Lippi has high hopes for him.

Obviously, now is the time for him to start repaying this trust!

Even Juan is a little relaxed at this time, he is still joking with Scolari, if he knew it, he would have been addicted to it, but the two of them have not finished laughing, and there is a sudden change on the court!
