[Football] Crown of Thorns

At the beginning of the game, the Brazilian team took the initiative on offense.

It only took half a minute for the Brazilian team to enter the Portuguese penalty area from the kick-off to the rapid offensive. This kind of lightning offensive made the Portuguese defense have no time to return to the defense and saw that the opponent was about to face the goalkeeper in an instant. Fonte, in a hurry, directly shoveled. He shoveled Neymar on the spot.

In the first minute of the game, Fonte of the Portuguese team fouled with a tackle and was warned by a yellow card. At the same time, he gave the opponent a direct free kick.

"Danger!"

"The Portuguese team is miserable!"

In the stands, the Portuguese fans and many family members covered their mouths worriedly.

Not far away, in the box on the stand, someone also frowned.

"Papai!"

The boy with black curly hair cried out worriedly.

"He's fine!"

The handsome Brazilian put his arm around the boy's shoulders, "Just a little problem."

Even though he said so, the Brazilian is still a little worried. It doesn't feel right for him to cheer for any side in today's game, so he can only stand in the neutral position.

Font brought Neymar down and was warned by the referee.

Neymar takes the free kick.

The Portuguese raised his heart, pushed out of the wall, and devoted himself to defense.

Patricio clapped his hands and directed his teammates to stand on the wall.

Then he stood on the other side of the human wall, except for the teammates who lined up the wall, and at the position opposite the goalkeeper, there were also Portuguese players.This way of standing is to be able to make up the defense in time after the goalkeeper makes a save.

Neymar took a free kick from the left, and the ball swayed across the wall and drew an arc to hit the goal.

Patricio pounced hard and touched the ball with his fingertips.

The ball changed lanes in the air, but Adrian made up for it in time and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

"Fortunately, the Portuguese team defended the goal!"

The Portuguese fans in the stands cheered.

Patricio got up from the ground with a look of joy, walked over and hugged Adrian hard.

Neymar hugged his head slightly disappointed, then he walked aside with a smile, and whispered something to his teammates.

The ball is transferred and the Portuguese team serves.

The goalkeeper serves.

The football flew straight around the center circle, where Renato Sanchez caught it and immediately passed it to the other side.

Gama catches the ball.

He didn't rush to attack, but took control first, observed the positions of the players on both sides, and then slowly took the ball forward a few steps.

The three strikers moved forward, Gama squinted his eyes, swung his arms forward, dribbled the ball suddenly past the opponent's defense, and then passed diagonally with his big foot.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was advancing unhurriedly from the wing, suddenly cut inside and broke into the penalty area. He swayed Alves, received the ball about 15 meters in front of the goal, and volleyed with his right foot.

However, his sudden volley was directly blocked by the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.

"Pretty!"

"Although Ronaldo's goal was not scored, I still think it is a beautiful cooperation."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, Ronaldo has scored five goals so far in this World Cup, and if no surprise, he is very likely to win the Golden Boot..."

"Look, Vasco da Gama is ready to serve."

Portugal gets a corner kick.

Gama ran over and prepared to take the corner kick himself.

Ronaldo stood beside Gama, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice, "You send it?"

"Just play."

With a smile on Gama's lips, he gently pushed Ronaldo.

"Stinky boy!"

Ronaldo patted Gama on the back of the head and ran to the front of the penalty area.

When Ronaldo ran over, the Brazilian team immediately sent someone forward to defend Ronaldo.

Gama, who squinted, looked at Ronaldo's position, took two steps back, and kicked hard... The football drew an arc in the air and flew towards the goal.

Coentrao and Brazil goalkeeper Alisson jumped in front of the goal at the same time, and the top of their heads collided with the opponent's arm.

After the football was blocked by the two, it bounced out. Quaresma grabbed the spot and hit the football under it.

Thiago Silva steals the ball bravely in the backcourt. Ronaldo counter-robbed and volleyed with his left foot about 11 meters away from the goal. Unfortunately, the ball missed the post.

This series of interceptions, the nervous audience only exhaled at the end of the last kick.

"What a pity……"

"If Ronaldo can score this goal, maybe the Golden Boot will be confirmed."

"Neymar may be able to catch up, he has scored four goals so far..."

On the court, Ronaldo stared at the opponent's goal and shook his head regretfully.

After the re-kick-off, the Brazilian team was not to be outdone and launched a continuous counterattack, but Lucas Lima volleyed with his right foot about 30 meters in front of the goal, and then Neymar's quick shot back on the spot was as high as the shot. out beams.

The continuous strong play of the Brazilian team really made the Portuguese team somewhat overwhelmed.

"...In terms of strength, the Portuguese team is not weaker than them in the past two years, but the role of stars does play a big role sometimes."

"You are right. Since Mr. Tite took office as the coach of the national team, he has advocated the transformation of the team with three midfielders. The stable 3 formation can be said to make up for the shortcomings of the Brazilian team's strong offense and weak defense to a certain extent... "

Judging from the previous period of time, the scene of the Portuguese team is very passive. It is obvious that even if it is said that it is not afraid, but in fact, the overall momentum of Portugal is still suppressed by the Brazilian team.

Taking a deep breath, Gama raised his hand, signaling his teammates to hand over the ball.

Gama, who got the ball, dribbled the ball directly into the opponent's penalty area without hesitation this time, and knocked the ball back on the left baseline.

It's a pity that Gama's pass was destroyed by Thiago Silva ahead of Ronaldo.

Gama sent another left corner kick, but his corner kick was still destroyed by the opponent. Quaresma, who got the ball, volleyed with his left foot 20 meters in front of the goal and was blocked.

Then the Brazilian team launched an attack.

Coutinho broke through with the ball and passed the ball. Firmino unloaded the ball 10 meters in front of the goal and turned around to shoot with his right foot. The ball was caught by Patriot.

However, the referee blew a foul at this time. It turned out that Firmino had already handballed the ball first when he shot. At the same time, he kicked Guerrero's leg when he shot, causing Guerrero to injure his right leg.

The Portuguese team doctor played, but fortunately, Guerrero was only slightly injured, and he rejoined the game after treatment.

The Portuguese team got an indirect free kick in the backcourt. Gama, who had the ball in hand, moved forward but passed the ball to the wing.

Coentrao strode forward to attack, all the way to the bottom and then crossed.

Alves jumped up, and when he was fighting for the top with Ronaldo, he made a bumping action, and the referee signaled that he had fouled.

Alves seemed a little dissatisfied, he protested to the referee and got a yellow card.

The Brazilian coach Tite on the sidelines looked a little unhappy. Alves' yellow card was a bit out of place. As a veteran of the team, he shouldn't have such an impulse. His yellow card will make the Brazilian defense There are hidden dangers that should not be there.

Ronaldo prepares for a free throw.

It's just a pity that the right-footed free kick he took about 23 meters in front of the goal was of good quality, but after crossing the wall, it slipped slightly to the lower left corner and slipped out of the baseline.

There was a sigh from the stands.

Someone in the box was talking softly with Ronaldo's Aiko, and seemed to be comforting the little guy.

"C Ronaldo's goal is too bad."

"There is no way to do this. No matter how powerful a free kick master is, he can't hit it every time..."

"Speaking of which, Vasco da Gama in the Portuguese team should be number one in the team in terms of free kick efficiency!"

"The ball just now..."

In the 26th minute of the game, the Portuguese team almost broke the deadlock.

A corner chance.

Gama took a free kick from the right and left, and Ronaldo headed into the net about 8 meters in front of the goal.

The Portuguese, who was just about to celebrate, heard the whistle that the goal was invalid.

It turned out that the assistant referee raised the flag to indicate that Ronaldo was offside when he rushed to the top just now, and the celebrations of the Portuguese players stopped instantly.

There were bursts of wild boos and angry cries in the stadium.

Ronaldo frowned, he suppressed his anger and looked over, but in the end he was dragged away from the referee by Gama.

"Don't worry, there's still time."

Gama comforted him.

Ronaldo took a breath, suppressed his anger, and nodded.

The Brazilian team immediately launched a counterattack.

Neymar broke into the penalty area and passed Furtado. He volleyed with his right foot 11 meters in front of the goal. The ball was blocked by Patricio. Casemiro's supplementary shot was kicked back to the center by Adrian. circle around.

Gama took the opportunity to take the ball and led the way to the opponent's penalty area.

Douglas Costa swooped in from the back to intercept the ball, but Gama evaded his tackle and passed it to the top of the arc on the other side of the penalty area. Andre Silva directly hit the goal after receiving the ball, but unfortunately he His shot was not angled enough and went wide of the post.

Such a good opportunity was not seized, and Andre Silva hugged his head in frustration.

Gama was also disappointed, but he still went over to comfort his teammates.

The Portuguese, who wasted several opportunities, was given a blow to the head by the Brazilian at the end of the first half.

Brazil goalkeeper Alisson threw the ball to teammate Marcelo, who went wide into the opponent's half and then cut inside to pass the ball.

After Casemiro took the ball from the left side and cooperated with Lucas Lima to hit the wall, he shot a shot about 15 meters in front of the goal.

Patricio made a mistake in his judgment and jumped in the wrong direction, and could only watch the football jump over the goal line and bounce into the net.

In the 44th minute of the first half, the Brazilian team scored a goal and took the lead.

As soon as the whistle sounded for the goal to be effective, the crazy roar of the Brazilian fans in the stadium was heard.

Although the first half ended with 4 minutes of stoppage time, the Portuguese team failed to achieve the desired result and could only end the first half with a goal behind.

…………

Gama sat in the locker room a little depressed, and he didn't look up until Furtado put a bottle of water on his face.

"Do you want to wash up?"

asked Furtado.

Gama, whose jersey was drenched in sweat, looked at Furtado, who looked back at him calmly, and asked calmly again, "Will you take a shower?"

Gama smiled after taking the towel handed by Furtado.

"I'm going to rush."

After taking a quick battle shower in the shower, Jia Ma took a look at himself in the mirror at the door of the bathroom, and smiled: I can win!Sure to win!

"Guys, come on in the second half!"

"Kill them!"

"Yes, kill them!"

…………

Santos at the door smiled slightly, pushed the door in, "Let me talk about the second half tactics..."
