[Football] Crown of Thorns

"...so far, the shots and possession seem to be on par, but I think Portugal still have a considerable advantage in midfield."

"You are right. Although the Italian team has good midfielders, Portugal's Vasco da Gama is a top midfielder. In this alone, the Italian team is at a disadvantage."

"I thought that if Pirlo could be in the national team..."

"But unfortunately, he has left."

…………

Gama took the ball, passed the opponent, broke through from the right, and then cut inside to pass the ball.

Moutinho swayed to the back and passed, and Andre Silva volleyed with his right foot.

Although the first sight was blocked by someone, Buffon's reaction was still fast, and he stabbed the shot with his fingertips.

Exclamation after exclamation sounded from the stands.

"As expected of Buffon, even though he is getting older, his reaction is still top-notch."

"Great!"

Even the Portuguese commentator couldn't help but exaggerate.

Portugal wins a corner.

Gama drove the ball to the back point, Ronaldo headed the goal 8 meters in front of the goal, and Bonucci destroyed the goal in front of the goal.

In the 38th minute, Andre Gomez dribbled a low pass from the left, and Quaresma pushed with his left foot 18 meters in front of the goal and was caught by Buffon.

Immediately, the Italian team played a small climax. De Rossi broke into the opponent's half and passed the ball to the penalty area. Balotelli volleyed vigorously from the right side, and the ball was blocked by Fonte's touch.

Corner kick for Italy.

Bernardeschi took a corner kick from the right, and Balotelli hit the crossbar with a header from 8 meters in front of the goal!

The time card for 3 minutes of stoppage time was played on the sidelines.

Gama looked at the sidelines, and Santos made a controlling gesture.

After receiving the instruction, Gama raised his hand and signaled Patricio to pass the ball to himself.

Patricio picked up the soccer paddle that the ball boy had thrown into the field, then gave Gama a hard toss.

Gamma takes the ball.

Instead of stepping forward, he made a gesture, made a small pass with Moutinho, then pulled the ball to the side, and Andre Gomez received the ball and passed it back.

The ball was passed to the back side again, and Veloso stepped forward to respond.

The triangle ball was passed, and the football returned to Gama's feet in the middle.

After pulling a few routines back and forth, Gama passed the ball to the back again, and Pepe suddenly stepped forward and attacked quickly.

The defense of the Italian team was pulled loose.

Pepe returned the ball wildly all the way. After Ronaldo stopped the ball in his chest, he turned 180 degrees on the spot to get rid of the opponent's defense, cut inside the penalty area and hit the goal directly.

Chiellini was half a beat behind the block and Buffon saved the ball, but De Rossi tried his best to save the ball in front of the goal, and the football hit him and bounced back into the penalty area.

Gama emerged from the crowd and kicked the ball hard.

The football, like a flash of white light, blasted into the goal.

In the 46th minute of the first half, Gama made a supplementary shot, 0-1, and Portugal took the lead.

"GOALLLL!!!"

The Portuguese commentator on the commentary booth shouted loudly.

The Portuguese fans in the stands jumped wildly, screaming and cheering suddenly resounded throughout the stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo who was rushed over gave him a hug, and Gama, who was lifted up directly, wanted to pretend to be cool, but he couldn't help grinning and laughing loudly.

"I'm handsome!"

Gama punched the sky, then bowed his head and said to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo smiled brightly, "It's so handsome!"

"Haha, I knew it~~~"

Gama, who couldn't help laughing, jumped off Ronaldo's shoulders and immediately fell into the embrace of his teammates.

but……

"Damn it, don't pinch me... whoever is fucking shamelessly touches my bottom, damn it!!! Fuck me!!!"

Well, Mr. Jia Ma, a gentleman on the court, can't be a gentleman now.

The Italians who originally ran over to protest the Portuguese for taking too long to celebrate could not help but stop protesting after hearing Gama's foul language, and directly watched the Portuguese's celebration.

Even the referee, who came to interfere with their celebration for too long, couldn't help but glance at the surrounded central figure.

When everyone dispersed, Gama, the goal scorer after the celebration, had his hair raised, his jersey was torn in a mess, and his shorts were half hanging on his hips. In today's high-tech era, under the ubiquitous on-court cameras, every part of his body was photographed extremely clearly, and was even played back by the director constantly in slow motion...

Listening to the breathing sounds of the women and some of the men in the stands, you can tell that things like running out are really quite a thing.

There are quite a lot of exposure incidents on the court, but you must know that Gama and many players are very careful to protect themselves. There are not a few players like Gama who wear vests under their jerseys and leggings under their shorts.

Speaking of which, in the various rankings of the Rotten Country, there is a list of 'Actors You Want to Rip Off His Clothes Most', and Jia Ma has been on the list for many years in a row.

"I rely on..."

Gama, who cursed secretly, really wanted to do some kind of uncivilized behavior.

It's okay to be ripped off by the opponent during the game, and the fuck is made like this by one's own people...

MD, I want to hit someone!

This is the first time I saw it, the one who scored the goal laughed more exaggeratedly than the opponent!

Gama glared around fiercely, and he received more laughter.

The referee suppressed a smile and told the players on both sides to disperse quickly. The first half of the game is not over yet, and kick-off is still going on!

The Italian who was going to kick-off drove the ball casually, and De Sciglio took two steps to drive the ball forward.

Florenzi catches the ball and avoids the opponent's defense and goes forward...

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the first half was over.

Portugal temporarily leads the Italian team by one goal.

Gama, who quickly returned to the locker room, faced the group of shameless teammates and clenched his fists, "Should I confess it myself or wait for me to go back and watch the live video?"

"what are you talking about!"

"That's it~"

"Xiko, hurry up and rest, there is still a game!"

"Yes, yes, go take a shower quickly, don't you want to change your jersey?"

Hehe, do I dare to deal with you if I am really an uncle?

"Xiko, how is the injury on your leg, go wash it and let the team doctor take a look!"

Furtado stood up.

Furtado stood up bravely.

Teammates: Ann, we love you to death!

Furtado (helpless): Don't add fuel to the fire, please!

Gama: Hehe...

After taking a quick shower, Gama asked the team doctor to check his injured leg. Fortunately, the wound was indeed just a minor problem, and repacking it would not affect the game at all.

Santos first praised the players for the first half of the game, and then reminded them that the Italians will definitely counterattack with all their strength in the second half.

"Relax, sir."

Ronaldo also changed into a clean new jersey, he smiled cheerfully, "We will win."

Ronaldo's smile is very clear. He is still the Ronaldo who loves games and wins, but it is different from the past. He is no longer the Ronaldo who has made a fool of himself. He has a broad mind and it is easier to see the path under his feet.

"The robot is right, we will win."

Gama asked the team doctor to apply a Kinesio Tape (KenisioTape) to his body. His injured ribs need to be protected with this kind of medical tape.

Hearing Ronaldo speak, Gama also said the same sentence.

After putting on the protective patch and putting on the clean jersey brought by Furtado, Gama continued:

"Buffon is worthy of being a super goalkeeper. Even though he is getting older, his skills have not changed, but his physical fitness still has a certain impact. His second save speed is still much slower than before, so," Gama smiled. "What to pay attention to when shooting, everyone knows!"

"understood."

The striker nodded first.

After Quaresma nodded, he said again, "This guy Shiko, it's good to be a teammate, but it's really annoying if he's an opponent!"

Thinking of the stuffy experience they met in the club's Champions League match before, Quaresma still finds Gama very annoying.

Turning his head to look at Quaresma, Gama snorted twice, "Sorry, this is strength! Dissatisfied? Hold on!"

Then there were boos from the locker room, and another middle-finger grove.

"So, I really fucking hate him."

Quaresma rolled his eyes.

"As he said, if you can't kill him, you can only endure it."

Moutinho smiled.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and neither side made substitutions.

However, just 5 minutes into the game, Veloso was trampled on the sole of Verratti's right ankle and had to go to the sidelines for treatment.

Verratti receives a yellow card and Portugal wins an indirect free kick in the backcourt.

Because the Portuguese team did not make any substitutions, they temporarily played with ten players on the field.

Although the Portuguese team's counterattack was fast this time, it did not achieve any results. The football was thrown by Buffon.

This time, Veloso did not enter the field after treatment. The team doctor believed that Veloso could not continue the game, and the Portuguese team could only be forced to make substitutions.

Santos replaced Veloso with veteran player Eliseu from Benfica.

Veloso on the sidelines frowned and had to accept the reality of his departure.

Gama glanced back at the injured Veloso and continued to devote himself to the game.

In the 51st minute, the Italian team launched an offensive from the left rib and played a wave of smooth small cooperation. Candreva broke into the opponent's penalty area and plugged the ball. Edel shot from a distance of about 7 meters from the right, and the ball was destroyed by Fonte.

After Gama received a pass from his teammate in the middle, he slowed down first, and then slowly dribbled the ball forward to attack.

The big triangle passed the ball to the top of the opponent's left penalty area, Ronaldo made a pass, and Andre Silva hit the goal directly.

Barzagli blocks the ball out of the baseline.

Portugal corner kick.

Gama ran to take a corner kick from the left, and Pepe nodded forward and the ball went wide of the far post.

"Dagama serve! Pepe header!!!"

"Unfortunately, the Portuguese team missed a great opportunity to score..."

The hype was said in the commentary, and the players on both sides on the court have entered a period of physical exhaustion.

Gama carefully observed the running positions and positions of the players on both sides, and he decided to change his tactics.

He gestured to his own defense.

Furtado and his teammates looked at each other. After receiving the tactical change, they nodded and dispersed.

"Strange, the Portuguese seem to have changed their tactics."

In the commentary booth, the professionals observed the changes in the Portuguese team and immediately said.

Eliseu, who just came on the field, defended Balotelli with a man-to-man tactic.

Another striker of the Italian team, Edel, was also fully defended by Pepe.

"This kind of lethal man-marking tactic consumes a lot of physical energy for the players on both sides!"

"This man-marking of the Portuguese team..."

Soon, Balotelli was a little annoyed by this almost close-fitting comprehensive defensive tactic, and he turned his head to stare at Eliseu several times.

However, the Benfica veteran who was born in 83 has always remained calm. Even if the opponent is about to hit his head with gnashing teeth, he still looks at the opponent calmly, and takes the opportunity to pull the jersey and pin his feet. Annoyed Balotte The expression on Li's face was grim.

"Mr. Ventura should be replaced!"

"Balotelli was obviously irritated by the opponent, and the Italian team will be in danger if this continues..."

Then, it is easy to comment on the field, but Ventuzuo, the coach, has nothing to do.

Now the Italian team does not have any good forwards, even if they are replaced, who can they replace?

He still hesitated.

At this moment, Balotelli, who was once again annoyed by Eliseu's small movements behind his back, turned around sharply and pushed Eliseu away.

The experienced Eliseu took two steps back and sat on the ground.

His action angered Balotelli, who strode forward and cursed at the same time.

"You flopping OOXX..."

However, this Eliseu yelled loudly, which attracted everyone's attention.

The referee Eriksson blew a timeout, and when he ran over, he happened to see Balotelli's foot stepping on the back of Eliseu's hand who was sitting on the ground.

At the same time, the referee also heard Balotelli's constant swearing.

Therefore, Eriksson showed a red card without hesitation and directly drove Balotelli off the field.

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Balotelli pushed and trampled on his opponent and was sent off with a red card.

"The Italian team is miserable."

"The Portuguese tactics worked."

Very angry Balotelli cursed and pushed away the surrounding teammates and walked out of the court.

Ventura, who was thinking of substituting, looked gloomy at Balotelli, who didn't even look at the end.

"In the following time, the Italians can only fight with ten men."

"If Ventura doesn't switch tactics, it will be too late..."

Gama watched all this calmly, then turned to look at Eliseu: Well done.

Eliseu, who was pulled up by his teammates, smiled honestly at the referee, "I'm fine."

Even if he knew that he plotted against Balotelli, but this kind of trick is common in football matches, the referee will just ignore it.

Knowing that the opponent is deliberately cheating, who can you blame if you can't help being fooled?

Veloso, who had just retired due to injury before sitting on the bench, curled his lips as he watched the whole process.

The bastard Xiko still has the nerve to say that he is a good and honest person!

Bastard, black heart!

What a gentleman on the field, P!

Jia Ma (hands out): Blame me!
