[Football] Crown of Thorns

The second half of the game begins.

"... Judging from the atmosphere, the Portuguese team is not depressed. After the start of the second half, the situation is not weaker than the Brazilian team..."

"The leading Brazilian team played relatively more easily, but is it too early to be easy now?"

……

"Look at Ronaldo's action... suddenly, no, volley!!!"

"Unfortunately, the goal was not scored..."

Portugal's corner kick.

Gama ran to take a corner kick.

Gama sent this right corner kick almost directly into the near corner of the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was cleared by Felipe Luis' header.

There were sighs in the stadium.

"What a pity……"

Brazil's possession of the ball.

Raising his arm and wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, Gama stared closely at the opponent's goalkeeper, calculating the distance of his throw.

The ball landed at Coutinho's feet, Gama's eyes lit up, and he ran quickly to stick behind him.

Coutinho's expression was a little twitching—they knew each other well when they were playing for the Liverpool club. After Gama posted this, his movements were difficult to do.

Only when Coutinho hesitated for a moment, Gama hooked the ball and sent a 40-meter long pass from the backcourt directly. The football flew directly to the front of the Brazilian team's penalty area like lightning. Ma failed to complete the shooting action while the three Brazilian defenders were pressing, and the ball was rushed out and hugged by the opponent's goalkeeper.

"It's a pity, a pity, a pity!!!"

The on-site commentator said three regrets in one breath. It can be seen that he feels quite a pity for the Portuguese team's offensive failure.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Ma's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but then he stretched his eyebrows again, twice if he failed once, and three times if he failed twice, he didn't believe that the Brazilian team could always defend the defense.

Turning his head to look at Coutinho, Gama grinned, "Filipe, this can't be done!"

Coutinho took a deep breath, not angry, his club captain is such a tireless tone, he is fooled when he is angry.

Looking at Coutinho who ignored him and ran away, Gama touched his chin: It seems that I am very courageous, and I actually scared Felipe away.

A few minutes later, it was Portugal's attack again.

However, there was an accident on the field. When Gama dribbled the ball in from the wing, he was hit on the nose by the arm of the Brazilian defender Alves...

I rely on!

Gama, who was looking up and trying to stop the nosebleed from flowing so fast, felt the nosebleed flow back into his throat, and cursed inwardly.

Referee Mark Giger called a timeout first, and then let Gama leave for treatment.

For a while, the Portuguese team formed a ten-man battle situation.

Fortunately, although there were a lot of nosebleeds, Gama's injury was not serious. After treatment, Gama raised his hand to indicate that he could continue the game. Gama returned to the field after getting permission from the referee.

"Speaking of which, I have calculated that since the beginning of the group stage of this World Cup, Da Gama seems to have suffered three obvious injuries."

"This is probably because he is an important member of the Portuguese team, so he has been surrounded more often~~"

"Haha, maybe!"

Pulling off the jersey, Gama secretly rejoiced that his nosebleed did not drip on his body because he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have to change the jersey...

I don't know which poor MD stipulates that if the loss exceeds five pieces, you have to pay for it yourself. Damn it, every time the national team's competition organizer pays a lot of appearance fees, why are you so stingy!

Gama, who kept muttering in his heart, returned to his position not long after, but the Portuguese team lost another general.

When Coentrao passed the ball from the backcourt, he suddenly pulled his right thigh and fell to the ground, so he had to leave the field injured.

Santos had no choice but to replace Coentrao with Neto.

The hearts of the Portuguese in the stadium stand up and down.

Player injuries appearing one after another, this is a very bad omen!

Gama sighed.

Fabio's luck is extremely bad. He was injured and left the field for the first time in this World Cup. Poor!

The game has entered the 73rd minute, Portugal is still one goal behind Brazil.

It can't go on like this.

Gama reached for the ball.

Patricio threw the ball straight to Gama.

Gama, who controlled the ball at his feet, directly broke through the opponent's half from the center this time and then kicked a diagonal pass.

Ronaldo turned his back to the goal and raised his foot to catch the ball, then turned around and hit it. The ball was destroyed by the opponent and went out of the bottom line.

This time it was a left corner kick.

Gama ran over quickly, ready to take a corner kick.

This time, Gama sent a left corner kick directly to the goal. The ball was destroyed by the head of Alves of the Brazilian team. Adrian jumped up 20 meters in front of the goal and volleyed with his left foot. was blocked out.

Another corner kick.

Or Gama to serve the corner kick.

"It seems that the Portuguese team has put a lot of effort into the practice of setting the ball."

In the commentary booth, the commentators of various countries interpreted the consecutive corner kicks of the Portuguese team in this way.

Gama, who was standing in the corner flag area, frowned slightly. The corner kick tactics are actually not that easy to play, or they have played the whole game for so long, and they haven't scored a corner kick?

Taking a deep breath, Gama settled down, raised his foot, and sent the ball to the back of the goal.

At the point behind the goal, Ronaldo jumped high, and Alves jumped at the same time. The two collided in the air and fell to the ground together.

Ronaldo couldn't get up for a while after falling to the ground, Gama's eyes widened, "Robot?"

The referee, who found something wrong, ran over. He glanced at Ronaldo, who looked a little bit pained, and blew the timeout whistle again.

"What's going on here?"

"God, Ronaldo is injured."

"The Portuguese team..."

It turned out that Ronaldo hit his right shoulder when he fell to the ground with Alves, and his right shoulder was injured and had to be taken to the sidelines for treatment.

In the box in the stands, the father and son all stood up and stared at the person who was standing by the side of the field to accept...

"Cris..."

…………

After 2 minutes, Ronaldo returned to the field after undergoing a temporary cooling treatment and bandaged.

This scene was continuously broadcast on the big screen, and there was thunderous applause from the audience and stands of the stadium, for Ronaldo's spirit and his persistence.

Gama walked over, "For the rest of the time, you just need to stay in the frontcourt."

A smile appeared on Ronaldo's face, "I'll wait for your pass."

The two smiled at each other and clapped their hands lightly.

"...I remember that Ronaldo's right shoulder was injured before."

"That's right, the injury I suffered in the national derby in the league three years ago..."

"What a coincidence!"

"It's not..."

The anxious Portuguese fans are already pointing the middle finger, even if Alves is no longer a Barcelona player, but who cares so much at the moment, the fans who yell at him don't care, they will put all their dissatisfaction with Worries were poured out on him...

In the 81st minute, Renato Sanchez broke into the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area and knocked back. Marcelo destroyed the ball in front of Ronaldo.

Club teammates with a good relationship at the level of the national team, no one will let anyone else, everyone is going all out in the confrontation.

Ronaldo glanced at Marcelo and stepped back with a serious expression.

Brazil attack.

After judgment, Gama rushed over from the side, and a sliding tackle hooked the ball away from Casemiro's feet and passed it out.

Casemiro staggered and fell to the ground in two steps. He raised his hand to signal Gama to foul.

Gamar didn't care about this, he didn't hear the referee blowing the foul whistle, so he got up and ran forward quickly.

Seeing that the referee ignored his protest, Casemiro got up and chased him carelessly.

Fonte, who received a pass from Gama, advanced a few meters and distributed the ball to the right. Andre Silva made a diagonal pass. Quaresma inserted 9 meters in front of the goal and shook his head to attack the goal, but Alisson reacted this time Pretty quick one-handed ball over the bar!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who wanted to make a follow-up shot, looked at the flying football and shook his head helplessly.

Quaresma thumped the ground heavily and got up.

"I didn't expect that Alisson, who would continue to make some bizarre mistakes two years ago, is doing really well today."

"Yeah, it seems that he has improved a lot in the past two years."

"The competition with Szchenko in Rome in Serie A has made him grow a lot!"

"really……"

"Now Portugal not only needs a calm attack, but also needs some luck!"

"Yes, I hope they have good luck!"

Three minutes later, the Portuguese team made a comeback. This time, Gama passed the ball to the top of the arc on the left side of the opponent's penalty area. Andre Silva and Thiago Silva collided and fell to the ground.

However, the referee did not issue a penalty for their falling to the ground, because the football was still at the feet of the attacking side.

Gama controlled the football and entered the Brazilian penalty area.

In this position, the opponent would not dare to block the opponent casually, if one accidentally knocked the opponent down, that would be a shame.

Gama, who was holding the ball at his feet, looked up to observe the situation in front of the ball, and the Brazilian players surrounded him.

It was not easy to pass the ball at this point, Jiama thought about it quickly, and decided to give it a try.

So Gama dribbled the ball and took a step to the left first, and then moved half a step forward. The football under his feet was between his feet. At present, no one dared to go there and tackle it. The horse dared to fall to the ground.

Then take half a step forward, half a step, take a sharp step horizontally, turn around and pick the ball.

Bewildered by Gama's pace for half a second, the Brazilians were taken aback when they saw Gama pick the ball over their heads.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who rushed over from the side, blasted out with all his strength.

Heavy artillery at close range!

The football that was kicked hard by this kick has a shape from round to oval flat visible to the naked eye. It was found that the whistling wind hit the arm of the goalkeeper who was rushing towards him. The gravity made Alisson's arm crooked and then rushed Into the net.

At this moment, the stadium was silent as if no one existed. Half a second later, deafening shouts rang out from the audience.

"MYGOD! This power..."

"I can't believe my eyes..."

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, stared fixedly at the goal, watching the aggressive football fall into the net after losing power, he grinned, as if for a while he couldn't believe that he had successfully scored the goal , It seems to be happy and I don't know how to express the joy in my heart.

It wasn't until his teammates hugged him tightly that Ronaldo raised his eyebrows and showed his arrogant and flamboyant smile.

In the 91st minute of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal to equalize the game, and the two sides stood on the starting line again.

Brazil coach Tite looked at the celebrating Portuguese with an unhappy expression. He pulled his players and seemed to be confessing something.

Santos, who had been clenching his fists nervously, finally had a smile on his face.

He waved to the field, and Jia Ma quickly ran to the sidelines.

"Be careful of the opponent's counterattack, if it doesn't work, control the ball first..."

After listening to the coach's explanation, Gama nodded, then quickly ran back to his teammates, and told the coach's request to the teammates celebrating the goal.

Because players were injured consecutively in the second half, stoppage time will be longer, and they can't be careless.

Sure enough, a 5-minute stoppage time sign was soon displayed on the sidelines.

Seeing the stoppage time result, the coaches of both sides seemed dissatisfied. They took a step forward almost at the same time, stood by the sideline and yelled something loudly on the field. Unfortunately, the field was too noisy and no one knew what they were doing. What are you shouting about.

The middle circle re-kicks off.

Gama squinted his eyes, staring at the big brother Coutinho of the Brazilian team who was standing in the center circle ready to kick off, and licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.

Coutinho, who was about to kick off, had a bad premonition. He looked around and met Gama not far away, whose eyes were full of malicious intentions.

I CAO!

Coutinho cursed in his heart, and almost wanted to tell his teammates on the opposite side that he didn't want to kick off.

But he immediately thought that it was just a kick-off, and it was impossible for Gama to jump over and steal directly... Coutinho rolled his eyes.

The whistle blew and Coutinho kicked the ball out.

He pushes the ball back for his teammate...
