Kaka Rebirth Belt System

The England team continued to face the situation of playing more with less in overtime. When the physical strength of the players was seriously declining, Eriksson had to switch to a conservative style of play, deploying heavy players in the penalty area and laying out iron buckets Formation posture to meet the Portuguese team's attack.

The Portuguese team is almost playing around the restricted area of ​​the England team.In the 2nd minute of overtime, Pettit sent a precise heel pass to Chris on the right from the center, and inserted into the small penalty area non-stop, and Chris wanted to return with his right foot after stepping on a few bicycles. Passed to Pettit, but the ball was destroyed by Hargreaves' last kick on the ground.England's No. 16 was more eye-catching than anyone else on the defensive end today, especially in the defense against Chris, largely restraining the Portuguese, who is known for his speed and footwork.

Soon, the England team got a free kick, which made the Portuguese players vigilant.The current England team is unable to launch a sharp attack and can only get opportunities with corner kicks and free kicks.After Beckham went off, Lampard became the first free-kick taker.His powerful free-kick missed the wall but smacked over Valente's head and flew out of the touchline, giving England yet another corner.

It's a pity that the Three Lions still failed to seize the opportunity. The Portuguese team quickly got the ball and continued to attack in the penalty area. When Chris got the football and tried to break into the penalty area, he was depressed to find that his eyes were all white. Even Crouch, who was replaced in Rooney's position in the second half, returned to the penalty area to defend. Can this bus be placed more firmly!

Outnumbered, and with no one nearby to respond, Chris, who tried to break through the sideline, failed to cross the siege after all, and watched the ball being poked out of the sideline.

"Facing the iron barrel formation of the England team, the Portuguese team has not found a better solution. There is a lack of cooperation between them. We saw Scolari anxiously making a big gesture on the sidelines. Obviously he thought that the Portuguese team The offense wasn't bold enough."

The Portuguese team's hesitation also gave the England team courage, and soon, the England players headed by Gerrard began to try to attack.When he was about to dribble forward in the middle, Cristiano detected in time that the ball was destroyed by the return defense. Gerrard was knocked down in the body collision, and the England team won a free kick.

This free kick was taken by Hargreaves. Although the free kick position is far from the penalty area, the Portuguese players still dare not carelessly line up the wall and are highly vigilant.Valente grabbed the header and pushed the ball out of the penalty area, but Lennon, who was staying outside the penalty area on the right, ran to grab the ball and wanted to break into the penalty area. The Portuguese players immediately stepped forward to destroy it, and the right side A melee unfolded.

During the scramble, players fell to the ground one after another, and Lampard grabbed the ball in the chaos, and immediately broke through to the right sideline, catching Portugal by surprise.He tried to find Crouch in front of the goal with a cross from the bottom line, but he was blocked by Miguel who was defending next to Crouch. Chris received the ball in the middle and turned around to pass it to his teammate, but something happened. , the ball actually hit Gerrard's feet firmly surrounded by two red figures!

It was too late to regret, Chris rushed forward to destroy Gerrard's pass, but it was too late, Gerrard, who has always been known for his long pass accuracy, had already picked the ball into the penalty area and found Crouch accurately!

The fans of the England team held their breath for an instant, or stood or jumped, to welcome a goal!

"Miguel, it's Miguel again! He saved the Portuguese team at a critical moment and used his body to hold Crouch's header to make a clearance!!"

Cristiano let out a long sigh of relief. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the team's morale if the goal was scored. At least he would have to find a hole to bury himself.

"Ronaldo's passing still needs to be improved, he can't always be obsessed with fancy footwork. Miguel went to the front to participate in the attack... one-on-one with the ball... oh, the ball was broken, In this regard, he really can't take advantage of it. If it was Ronaldinho, he might be able to pass. It can be seen that he and Ronaldinho really have their own strengths."

The audience in front of the TV: It's up to you! !

In the 101st minute, Lennon once again used the physical advantage of playing later to get through the right corridor at high speed and pick a pass to the penalty area.However, there are many Portuguese defenders in the penalty area, and Crouch can only pass back temporarily.Gerrard took the ball and gave it to Lennon who inserted into the penalty area within this time difference.

Lennon stopped the ball for a while, dribbled the ball crookedly for a few steps, and hit the goal directly, not knowing whether to shoot or pass.Ricardo jumped high and was about to make a monkey catch the moon, but who knew that the ball was so strong that he dropped it in an instant and flew towards the left of the penalty area in a different direction.Crouch snatched the ball, stumbled a few steps under the interference of the defenders, and passed it to Terry.

Before Terry could stand still after taking the ball, Cristiano's windy figure suddenly passed by him, and after stealing the ball, he launched a counterattack without stopping!

"The counterattack of the Portuguese team, Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho hit Postiga horizontally, Postiga once again, took the ball again, distributed it to Simao on the left, and hit the goal!! Robinson dropped the ball, but it's a pity that Xiaoxiao Luo didn't have time to go up and shoot."

"By this time, the two teams finally played a wonderful offensive and defensive battle. The England team is making the last effort to attack, while the Portuguese is still seeking stability and control. There are not many truly threatening shots."

Only 2 minutes after he finished speaking, Cristiano, the youngest player in the game, unexpectedly intercepted Gerrard's ball in the frontcourt, and immediately after stealing the ball, he fired a long shot from outside the penalty area!

"Ah! Just a little bit, the ball almost passed the crossbar! After Scolari replaced Pauletta, it was difficult for the Portuguese team to shoot such a threatening shot. At this time, someone really needs to stand up. "

The first half of the short overtime game ended quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.The change occurred in the 108th minute. Portugal made several consecutive passes in the midfield. After receiving the ball from the right, Simao made a diagonal pass to the penalty area and reached near the far post.Postiga in front of the goal found exactly where the ball landed, and headed it—the ball went in! !

Postiga was turning around and running towards the field to cheer, but the assistant referee held up the flag high, indicating that Postiga was in an offside position.This is tantamount to pouring cold water on the Portuguese players. Afterwards, the Portuguese team's shots were taken into Robinson's arms. Although the England team did not make any achievements in the second half of overtime, they still kept the score of 0:0. .

Eriksson replaced Lennon with Carragher at the last moment, obviously already preparing for the penalty shootout, because Beckham and Rooney went off one after another, and the England team was already at a disadvantage in terms of penalties.

"The fans of the England team and the Portugal team have to face the extreme psychological challenge again. I don't know how many of the fans present have witnessed the penalty shootout in 04. Will the ending be changed?"

The Portuguese team took the first free throw, and generally speaking, the player on the first free throw will be under more pressure.And the first one to go to the penalty spot was Simao, the captain of the Portuguese team after replacing Figo. Compared with Figo and Chris, he is a winger that is often overlooked, but in fact, his left and right The foot ability is relatively good, and the national team has rich experience in playing.

As a player who is used to shooting with his left foot, Simao swung his right foot to hit the goal quickly at the moment he raised his foot.

"1:0, Simao made a free throw! Robinson hit the right direction and was half a beat behind." Indeed, theoretically speaking, the goalkeeper cannot hit such a dead-end penalty.

The first player of the England team to play was Lampard, the number one penalty shooter among their players on the field. L8 approached, kicked, and hit the bottom right corner of the goal——

"Ricciardo saved Lampard's penalty!! This means that after the first round, England is one point behind Portugal!"

The Portuguese team's second penalty kick was taken by No. 10 Viana. He seemed to want to imitate Simao and hit the dead corner in the lower left corner, but the football that was volleyed hard hit the left goal post !Now, it doesn't matter even if Robinson misjudged the wrong direction and rushed to the middle.

Teammates still applauded for Viana who walked back, each of them deeply empathized with the pressure.

Hargreaves stood in front of the penalty spot, which was a good chance for England to equalize.Miraculously, like Simao, he chose to hit the dead corner in the lower left corner and hit it successfully!Facts have proved that such an angle is really difficult to save.This time, Portugal and England are on the same starting line again.

When Petit made a free throw, the Portuguese players were more nervous, but Petit himself was definitely not less nervous. He shot with his right foot and hit the left corner, which missed the left post more tragically than Wiana. !

The players of the England team have already started clapping and cheering. Gerrard took the third free throw, and Gerrard's penalty kick skills are recognized as powerful.The pressure was all on Ricardo. Facing Gerrard who raised his right foot, he rushed to the right side in a blink of an eye and blocked G4's half-high ball with one hand!

"It's unimaginable that Lampard and Gerrard missed penalties one after the other!"

This time, the hearts of England fans were tightened again.

When Postiga walked to the penalty spot, he didn't pause too much. After setting the ball, he immediately ran up and hit the goal, successfully advancing to the left side of the goal!

"Postiga's movements are very relaxed. It can be seen that his mentality is more relaxed than those in front of him. We have seen that many fans of the England team have covered their faces and can no longer watch."

Carragher stepped forward to swing the ball, and after turning around, he turned around and hit the goal almost immediately!

Although the football hit the right side of the gate, Elizondo ordered a heavy penalty for not blowing the whistle.This was a lot of pressure on Carragher. Sure enough, his second shot was no longer resolute enough, and Ricardo judged it in the right direction and easily saved it!

When he looked back, Carragher's eyes were full of tears. With the score 2:1, the Portuguese team scored another penalty kick, and the England team will withdraw from the stage of this World Cup!

The Portuguese team finally stood on the corner kick point, it was Cristiano.After Figo left the field, he was given the heavy responsibility of the final penalty by Scolari.Nervous and excited, he jumped a few times in front of the corner kick and carefully set up the football.

Run up, slow down, stop for a while, and suddenly lift your foot to hit the door!

Robinson, deceived by his previous movement, jumped forward and watched the ball go into the bottom right corner!

"Ronaldo secured the victory for Portugal! The Portuguese team entered the semi-finals, and the England team once again hated. The hero of this game is undoubtedly Ricciardo who saved three penalty kicks. He is famous for saving points. He once again proved his ability !"

"As the youngest player on the field, Ronaldinho scored the last penalty kick and performed well throughout the game. He also deserves this victory!"

The white figure was lonely at the Auf Schalke Stadium, and many English players had silently shed unwilling tears. Hargreaves and Gerrard sat on the lawn for a long time and refused to look up...

But Cristiano didn't think so much. At this moment, he just wanted to savor the victory and accept the cheers of the Portuguese fans.At that time, he hadn't realized what kind of storm would be waiting for him after the game.
