At the beginning of the second half, Scolari's tactics shocked everyone. Portugal, which had already used up one substitution, used up the remaining substitutions in one go and replaced Pauletta with Gomez. , and replaced Costinha with Costa.

"This move by Scolari is really bold. It also means that if there are more injuries in the second half, the Portuguese team will have no one to replace. What made Scolari replace two players in succession? In the first half Although the score of 0:0 failed to meet the expectations of the Portuguese, the offensive advantage is still on the Portuguese side."

Deco looked towards the stands subconsciously, he always felt that this incident must have something to do with Kaka.After I reminded Mr. Scolari to remember to check the inbox of his mobile phone, he made a substitution adjustment. Kaka must have done something.

Cristiano, who didn't know the inside story, didn't think that this substitution had anything to do with Kaka. He just tried to tell himself, let it go, let it go...

The commentator of Sky TV continued to comment: "It stands to reason that the semi-final between Portugal and the Netherlands will be held one day earlier than the semi-final between Greece and the Czech Republic. The Portuguese players should have more physical strength. But the strange thing is that today the Portuguese team Frustrated repeatedly in the breakthrough attack, even Ronaldinho can't get rid of Sitaridis."

The audience in front of the TV: Look at Xiao Luo's tangled expression, luckily he didn't hear this sentence!

Even the Portuguese players did not expect the effect of substitutions to come so quickly.In the 49th minute, when the Greek team started to attack the Portuguese penalty area with a throw-in, Andrade headed the ball to clear the half-court.Capsis and Deco of the Greek team grabbed points at the same time, and they stretched their feet for the ball facing each other.In terms of footwork, the people from the Iberian Peninsula have an obvious advantage. After Deco hooked the ball, he sent the ball to the left rear.

"Deco grabbed the first spot and passed the ball to the left rear! Isn't there a member of the Greek team there... Ronaldinho! It's Ronaldinho! He inserted at high speed and intercepted the ball!"

Cristiano had been waiting for the opportunity, he passed through the gap between the two Greek players at a critical moment, turned around while stealing the ball, stopped the ball, and passed it to the penalty area!

Gomez, who had just played, replaced Pauletta in the penalty area at this moment. Taking advantage of the suddenness of Chris stealing the ball and the physical strength of the new player, he successfully received the pass before the Greek team arrived and made a pass on the right. A volley from the side penalty area!

"There is only the goalkeeper in front of Gomez, the Greek players have not reacted yet, shoot!! goooooal!! nunogomes!! An assist from Ronaldinho, beautiful interception!"

Deco, Chris and Gomez, who completed this round of attacks in the frontcourt, opened their arms and rushed towards each other, almost slamming into each other.When hugging Deco, Chris could only hear him muttering ecstatically: "It's true, it's true!"

Confused, Chris was about to ask Deco what was wrong, but in the next second he was overwhelmed by Costa, Figo, Andrade and others who rushed up, eating grass with his mouth full.

If the assistant coach hadn't held up Scolari, he would have fainted in place.The camera of a certain TV station captured an interesting picture at this time, and Scolari turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the family seats.The narrator of this TV station was puzzled and managed to find a reasonable explanation: "Is Scolari... expressing his gratitude to the family members for their support?"

The players of the Greek team looked a little anxious. They didn't expect that they had been defending for so long, but Portugal still found a chance to score a goal.When the referee urged the Portuguese team to end the celebration and return to the center circle for the kick-off, the Greek coach Reghal made a gesture of pressing down on the sidelines, not only to signal the players to be patient, but also to not relax their defense.

The dark horses quickly calmed down. You must know that it is not easy for them to come to this point. They have no pursuit of victory, and the pressure is naturally much less than that of the hosts.Even so, they have strengthened their offense to a considerable extent and their defense has become tighter.In just 5 minutes, Deco, who cut into the penalty area twice, fell to the ground twice, but the referee Merck was unmoved. He was confident that he could see clearly that this was a normal collision between defenses and fell to the ground.Portuguese fans don't care so much, they don't forget to give the referee a huge boo when they celebrate the goal.

In the 57th minute, Sitaridis dribbled the ball from the right to the edge of the penalty area. Chris, who had been at odds with him, acted as the defender this time, facing the No. 2 of the Greek team head-on.Cristiano was surprised to find that this guy's foot skills were not bad. He couldn't break the ball under his feet, but... it's okay to break it with a kick at the right time!

Chris poked the ball in a dizzying move that sent the silver-gray game ball past Sitaridis' left side.The ball was blocked out of the baseline due to being too close to the sideline, and the Greek team won a corner kick.

"No. 6 Basinas took a corner kick. In the semi-finals, the Greek team scored a goal from a corner kick to beat the Czech team... The goal was scored!! Charisteas beat Carvalho and scored with a header! ! Another corner!!”

"Only 8 minutes later, the Greek team equalized the score! This is goalkeeper Ricardo's mistake, he chose to attack rashly!"

Cristiano immediately raised his head and covered his face, showing his annoyance.It must be God's blessing, how can the Greek team always profit from corner kicks.And how could he just let the Greek team get a corner kick like this!

Standing with his hands on his hips panting, Deco noticed Cristiano's dejected look. When he was heading to the middle circle to kick off, he walked up to Chris and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Hey, don't be discouraged, Kaka just now Tell me, let me believe you, anyway, to pass the ball to you. I believed it, so I dared to give you the ball in that situation just now, and you did it. So, you must also believe in yourself !"

Kaka said to my teammates, to believe me?

Chris tilted his head and glanced at the stands, but couldn't see clearly the person in the crowd who couldn't help but think about it anyway.You, why do you still have the leisure to tell my teammates?How could you be so nice to me behind your back?

He quickly lowered his head, fearing that his red eyes would be photographed by the idle media again.The psychological defense line built in the past week seemed to collapse in an instant, and a sentence kept flashing in his heart——

In this life, I'm afraid it's already bad.

"Oh, Cris kid, he's sad again after seeing it, he must think it's his fault for being scored just now." Dolores patted his thigh and sighed.

"Well, Cris is like this. He always wants to support the world alone." Kaka remembered the No. 7 captain of the Portuguese national team a few years later, with a smile on his lips.

Dolores laughed: "You are right. He is such an extreme kid. Whether it is the team or people, as long as he is good to him, he will give his life. Since he went to Manchester, he has put his whole family People take it as their own responsibility. When he was only this little old, I often said, don’t be kidnapped by a candy, kid!"

Kaka followed Dolores and laughed.

"But then I felt relieved. Fortunately, no one kidnapped this child with a piece of candy. It seems that you can tolerate him no matter what... Oh, I didn't mean that. If there is something wrong with him, of course you can't just Forgive him. Well, I mean, I'm so grateful that he met you, isn't that what the papers say, the best Kaka meets the wildest Cristiano Ronaldo, by God! It's unbelievable!"

Kaka wanted to tell Dolores that your child is fine, but he opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything.He looked back at the red figure running on the court, and decided to think about nothing at this moment.Chris tried so hard on the court to save it!

In the 59th minute, Chris shot coldly with his right foot outside the penalty area, and Nicopolidis blocked it to the left.

In the 62nd minute, Costa made a pass from the right, but Chris jumped up and failed to grab the point.

In the 73rd minute, Chris intercepted the ball and passed it to Maniche. Maniche made a cross. Costa volleyed with his right foot 28 meters in front of the goal and slightly missed the right post.

Time is running out, Costa and Gomez, who only played in the second half of the Portuguese team, are actively running to find opportunities.When goalkeeper Ricardo kicked off, Costa had already run back to the center circle and received Ricardo's ball.Just when the Greek team members thought that the Portuguese team would pass patiently as before, Costa made a precise long pass from the center circle and sent the ball straight into the penalty area!

"Rui Costa's precise long pass, Ronaldinho in the penalty area! Onside! De Las can't catch Ronaldinho, goalkeeper Nicopolidis attacks and intercepts!"

Facing Nikopolidis who was rushing straight towards his feet, Chris had only one sentence in his mind-calm down and believe in yourself!

The Portuguese fans once again saw Cristiano's exquisite foot skills. He slammed the ball, jumped high, abruptly avoided Nicopolidis' pounce, and volleyed!

"goooooooooal!!cristianoronaldo!! After passing the goalkeeper, he faced the empty goal and succeeded! The assist was Rui Costa, an extremely beautiful and precise long pass!"

Chris no longer knew how to express the joy that was congested in his heart. Before his teammates rushed to throw him down, he quickly ran to the family stands, and subconsciously made the celebration that he had thought about when he played against England.

"Hey, Ronaldinho ran away immediately after scoring the goal. He ran to the Portuguese family seat, kissed the index fingers of both hands, and then pointed to his mother and siblings. Wait, why do I think his hands are pointing to the sky? This movement, this frequency, this range is so familiar..."

The audience in front of the TV: Peat!Is this a good thing for Kaka!This guy has never seen Serie A, has he?

Costa, who assisted so much, didn't care so much, a tiger pounced and overwhelmed Chris to the ground, followed by Deco, Figo... The mountain of people piled up higher and higher, and Chris, who was at the bottom, thought innocently: I am really hungry today. a lot of grass...

"Less than 15 minutes before the end of the game, the Portuguese team leads again!"

The ensuing game was a complete scrimmage.Of course, the Greek team does not want to be killed at a critical moment, and the defense is even more fierce.In the 80th minute, Reghall replaced Frizzas with striker Papadopoulos, and his intention to strengthen the offense could not be more obvious.The striker who had just been put on the field attacked desperately, and even tripped Carvalho who was defending him when he broke through, and was given a yellow card.

Scolari is very satisfied, he knows that the Greek team has begun to be impatient.It was originally a defensive counterattack tactic, and the Greek team had few opportunities to seize it. After a volley over the crossbar, stoppage time ended, and Merck blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"2:1! Portugal won the Delaunay Cup in front of their own gate!"

All the players on the Portugal bench rushed out, the red jerseys and the green bench vests were intertwined, and the jubilant scene was in stark contrast to the gloom of the Greek team.But the Portuguese, who was in a frenzy, couldn't think of so much. Many players rushed to the family table after celebrating with their teammates, hugging their children and family members, and Cristiano, who was always the first to rush over, this After a while, he hesitated, which is rare.

What kind of state is he going to face Kaka?
