[Football] Crown of Thorns

葡萄牙队这次的对手塞尔维亚队，在前3轮小组赛取得了1胜1平1负的成绩，但因塞尔维亚球迷攻击阿尔巴尼亚球员而导致他们被欧足联处以减3分的处罚，所以只拿到了1个积分。

Therefore, if this strong European team with Matic, Ivanovic, Kolarov, Tadic and other famous players wants to strive for self-salvation and hit the finals tickets, this game must beat Portugal away.

On the other hand, the Portuguese team is a little easier on the pressure to qualify, but it can't be careless.

Therefore, in this battle, both sides will definitely use their full strength and strive to win the opponent.

At 29:19 local time on the 45th in Portugal, the fifth round of Group I of the European Cup qualifiers kicked off in Lisbon.

"...The game is about to start. Judging from the pre-match list, Ronaldo and Danny will partner up front in this game in Portugal. Dagama and Moutinho will be in the midfield. Nani and Coentrao will be in the midfield. On the two wings, Veloso and Furtado, who replaced the injured Pepe, guarded the defense, and Patricio guarded the goal. Pepe, who was accidentally injured before the game, was absent due to injury..."

"The Serbian team only won 7 win in the last 1 official away games (the 2014 World Cup qualifiers beat Wales 3-0), they. In the 2008 European Cup qualifiers, the two teams drew 2-1 twice In this campaign, Serbia used Mitrovic to advance, Markovic, Tadic and Rajajic were behind, Matic and Petrovic were in the midfield, Chelsea star Ivanovic and Schalke's Nastasic formed a centre-back partnership..."

"Nearly 6 fans attended the game today in the stadium..."

"Haha, Ronaldo has changed his hairstyle. Speaking of which, Ronaldo changed his hairstyle faster. Before..."

Outside, the on-site host sometimes talked about the statistics of the two teams, and sometimes ridiculed the players.

In the locker room, Portuguese coach Santos once again emphasized the tactics of the game and left time to the players.

The starting lineups of both sides -

Portugal (442):

Goalkeeper: Patricio

Defenders: Bosingwa, Veloso, Carvalho, Furtado

Midfielders: Nani, Moutinho, Da Gama, Coentrao

Forwards: Ronaldo, Danny

Goalkeeper: Stojkovic

Defenders: Busta, Ivanovic, Nastasic, 11-Kolarov

Midfielders: Markovic, Ljajic, Tadic

The captain of the Portuguese team, Cristiano Ronaldo, is actually not the kind of leader who is good at encouraging his teammates with words. He is usually a person who is motivated by himself and expresses it with practical actions.

But today, he stood up very readily and stretched out his hand, "We will win!"

"Definitely!"

The teammates stretched out their hands one by one, put them together, and roared loudly.

Following Ronaldo, the Portuguese starting players walked to the court with great momentum.

The fans of the home team in the stands shouted loudly, and the fans who waved the national flag and scarf and the image of Ronaldo sang songs. They were cheering for their team.

"come on!"

After the pre-match ceremony, Ronaldo clapped his hands and shouted again.

Every teammate who passed Ronaldo gave him a high five.

After the game started, the Portuguese team immediately pushed forward and attacked the opponent.

The Serbian team, suppressed by the momentum of the Portuguese team, fell into chaos in its own half for a while. The head coach Antić waved his arms anxiously on the sidelines, signaling the players to pull out quickly and not surround the goal.

Against the Portuguese team, Santos also stood on the sidelines with a serious face. He watched the situation on the field and talked to his assistants from time to time.

After a while, the football flew out of mid-air, and the Serbian player, their number 21 Markovic, rushed over and kicked the ball forward, which was considered to be the siege of his half.

The moment the ball was released from the encirclement, Jia Ma also ran forward from the center all the way.

While running, he still yelled loudly, "Move forward, Ann!"

As a defender, Furtado is a player in the Portuguese defense who doesn't like to go forward. In Portuguese football, which focuses on attacking power, players like him were not taken seriously before. , Although he was also selected for the national team before, he was basically a substitute, and most of them could only appear in helpless or garbage time.

However, since Santos took office, Furtado has started the number of times-although today is the third game in office of the coach-there have been many.

After the opening, Portugal almost killed the opponent's half of the game. Only Furtado calmly guarded the front of his own penalty area and did not run around.

Seeing the players from both sides rushing toward their penalty area like a race, Furtado calmly stared at the football coming with the team and devoted himself to defense.

Santos couldn't help laughing when he observed the situation on the field.

"Furtado is a solid player."

He said this to the assistant beside him.

"Yes."

Furtado on the field had kicked the ball back to the center circle. Nani was small but fast. He hooked and kicked the football at a fast speed and quickly passed it to the front.

Ronaldo jumped up and made a cross in the air.

Moutinho hits again, Coentrao volleys.

However, the angle of the shot was not good, and the ball missed the post.

Coentraan put his hands on his waist, sighed, and shook his head regretfully.

Jia Ma glanced at him and tilted his head: This bastard runs really fast.

The Serbian team launched a counterattack, but their attack was intercepted by the Portuguese team before they could pass the midfield.

Gama dribbled and pushed the ball to the other side, Moutinho kicked it, and then passed it back to Gama.

Gama evaded the opponent's tackle, staggered his feet, and sent the ball.

Danny volleyed, and the opposing defender Busta blocked the ball out of the baseline with his body.

In the 10th minute of the opening, Portugal's corner kick.

Coentrao runs to take the corner.

Coentrao took a tactical corner kick on the right. Bosingwa successfully passed the ball to Gama. Gama responded with a left-footed pass. At this time, Carvalho, who was unmarked, came up to the goal. About 8 meters in front of him, he smashed his head and broke the goal.

1 to 0, the Portuguese team took the lead.

Seeing that he successfully scored with his header, Carvalho jumped up excitedly. He has not felt like scoring in the national team for a long time. The last time he scored in the national team dates back to the one eight years ago. game against Brazil.

Seeing the veteran's excitement, Jia Ma came over and hugged him, "Congratulations."

"Thank you for the pass."

The two looked at each other and smiled, all the past disappeared like smoke.

However, after the re-kick-off, when the Serbian team launched an attack, their No. 11 Kolarov collided with Carvalho, and Carvalho fell to the ground. Substitution, Santos replaced it with Fonte.

"It's such a pity that Ricardo was injured and Fonte came off the bench. Fonte, who played for Southampton in the Premier League, made his debut for Setubal in Portugal..."

After Font came on the field, the game continued, and it was Portugal's attack at this time.

When receiving a pass from his teammate, Ronaldo was directly shoveled to the ground by the opponent player Matic.

Matic was given a yellow card by the referee for a foul.

Portugal gets a free kick.

Ronaldo stood behind the football, and he was about to take the penalty.

This is a position about 27 meters away from the goal, but the angle is not very good.

Jia Ma walked over, "Do you want to cooperate tactically?"

"Need not."

Ronaldo said simply.

"The angle is not very good."

Gama still added this sentence.

Ronaldo glanced at Gama, then at the goal, "Then, tactics."

Seeing his reluctance, Jia Ma gave him a white look, "I will send back."

Ronaldo snorted softly, "Of course."

MD, I want to punch you.

Gama stepped back and watched Ronaldo stand up.

Ronaldo took a step back, and when he looked like he was going to play the ball, he turned his ankle and pushed the ball out, and then he immediately ran forward.

After receiving the ball, Gama took two steps forward and then passed it diagonally. The ball passed to the left.

However, the Serbian goalkeeper Stojkovic reacted quickly, flying the ball and throwing the ball over the crossbar.

Afterwards, the Portuguese team continued to strengthen their attack. After 2 minutes, Ronaldo broke through from the left and crossed the ball to the goal.

This made Ronaldo a little unhappy. He stopped and yelled at his teammates.

Jia Ma was a little embarrassed. He made a mistake just now, and he couldn't react in time. He missed a good opportunity.

As the game progressed, the anger of the players on both sides gradually increased. During a ball grab, Liajic and Coentrao clashed.

In this fiery atmosphere, the first half ended.

During the half-time break, when various media were analyzing the tactics and statistics of the two sides in the first half, Gama in the locker room was severely 'bullied' by Ronaldo.

"How dare you roll your eyes at me!!!"

"Help ah ah ah!"

Gama, who was being tickled by his neck, yelled ouch.

"Let's see who dares to rescue you, hehehe~~~"

Ronaldo is full of domineering with a sinister smile on his face.

Gama: These bastards!

After the quarrel, time passed quickly and the second half of the game began.

At the beginning of the game, Gama passed the ball to Ronaldo. When Ronaldo counterattacked with the ball and was about to cut inside, he was brought down by Kolarov.

Kolarov is shown a yellow card.

But this time there was no free kick. Although Ronaldo seemed a little dissatisfied, he still endured the tone when Gamara got him up.

"Hit them back with goals."

Gama said this in Ronaldo's ear.

Ronaldo smiled and patted Gama on the back, "Got it."

But after all, it was Serbia who scored the goal and tied the score.

Serbia won a corner kick, Kolarov took a corner kick on the left, Petrovic nodded the ball to ferry, and Matic hooked the ball from a small angle with his left foot about 5 meters away from the goal into the far corner. It was his first goal in 19 national team games.

1-1, Serbia equalized the score.

hehe~~

Glancing at Ronaldo's expression, Gama shrugged.

Gama remembers that one of the things that Ronaldo wants to do most is to score with a barb, but it seems that his luck has been consumed in other sports goals. The upside-down golden hook was also injured and the goal was missed.

So 2 minutes later, Gama made a straight pass, Ronaldo responded from the right and then hit the gap. Moutinho made a curved pass, and Coentrao pushed in with his left foot about 3 meters away from the back post. net.

2 to 1, Portugal equalized the score and took the lead again.

By the way, so far Ronaldo has become the first Portuguese player to score and assist in a single game in this qualifier.

Obviously I should be the player with the most assists!

Jia Ma pouted, extremely dissatisfied.

Heh heh, let's see mine next!

Next, the two sides changed players one after another, Serbia replaced, Djuricic replaced Markovic, and Tosic replaced Tadic.

The Portuguese team also replaced Coentrao with Quaresma and William replaced Danny.

During the game, Gama slightly controlled the rhythm of the game after receiving a pass from the backcourt. Anyway, they are currently leading, so it is the opponent who is anxious.

Near the middle circle, Gama and Moutinho passed the ball consecutively, playing a wave of ball possession.

Serbian players tried to intercept many times, without success.

So they simply kicked Jia Ma down.

Seeing this, Gama dodged the opponent's tackle, but lost control of his body and fell to the ground.

Players from both sides ran over to push and shoved, seeing that the scene was about to get out of control. Fortunately, the referee reacted in time and rushed over to separate the players from both sides. He sent two yellow cards to the Serbian player, which put the dispute to rest.

"Xiko, are you okay!"

Just now Furtado used his short (?) body to block in front of his teammates, full of intimidation!

"asshole!"

Hearing Gama's ridicule, Furtado slapped Gama on the back angrily, "Shut your crow mouth!"

Veloso, who got Gamara up, laughed, "1.8 meters is still short, how can you let Jose live!"

Moutinho, who happened to be standing next to him, raised his foot and gave Gama a PP, "FUCK!"

Well, it seemed that Jia Ma was fine, and his teammates abandoned him one after another.

Jia Ma chuckled twice, "What a bunch of guys without a sense of humor."

As soon as he turned his head, Martin Atkinson, the referee from England, stared at him with a straight face.

With a heartbeat, Gama quickly smiled and ran away. The referee in England was quite strict in his approach to the law.

In the following time, the Portuguese team never relaxed and launched strong attacks many times, but their luck seemed to be not very good, and they never scored a goal.

When the time came to stoppage time, Gama crossed the side from the center, and Nani made a pass from the right. His cross was too big, and the football hit the opponent's defender and almost lobbed it directly into the net.

The audience was a sensation, it's really a pity, if this goal is scored later, it will definitely be selected as the goal of the Super World Wave!

At the last moment, the Portuguese team got another free kick, but Ronaldo's free kick bounced off the wall.

Although the Portuguese team's bombardment failed to score in the final stage, the Portuguese team still won the opponent with a score of 2-1. Although the team played one less game, they still temporarily boarded the first place in Group I. one.

"I said I would win."

Gama was full of pride.

Then, slap, it was Furtado's black hand again.

"Stop your crow mouth!"

The teammates raised their arms together.

Gama: I can't live through this day! ! !
