Chapter 752 Advance to the Quarterfinals
After a brief pause, the game resumed.
And the restarted game was obviously more intense than before.
The leading Spanish team originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the first goal and take advantage of the panic of the opponent to pursue the victory and strive for the victory.But what is surprising is that Portugal recovered quickly. Except for some instability at the beginning, the defense line remained intact and the fight was more active than before. It was difficult for Spain to have a chance to penetrate.
Portugal used tough defense to defeat the opponent's plan to take advantage of the victory. After stabilizing their heels, Portugal is more determined to seek counterattack opportunities. This is a reasonable thing. The score is already behind. There is no other way to attack.
To Spain's surprise, Portugal's counterattack came so resolutely and swiftly, almost in full force.Running actively, fighting actively, and investing a lot of troops in offense, Portugal is going to give it a go.
Needless to say, the effect is extremely obvious. Spain did not expect Portugal to burst out with such a huge energy after conceding a goal in the first day of junior high school.
Fortunately, the energy of the back line is very concentrated, and Casillas's performance is still brave, attacking left and right, and repeatedly defusing crises.
This wave of offensive made Spain a little afraid, and paid more attention to controlling the rhythm of the game. Harvey and Iniesta were no longer eager to advance, but tried to control the football as much as possible, and the scene tended to stalemate again develop.
Of course, this situation is also beneficial to Spain. After all, they have the most powerful midfielder in world football and are good at controlling the ball. The most important thing is that they lead the score, which gives them a great advantage. Deal with the opponent with confidence.
Portugal, on the other hand, is obviously unable to compete with Spain in terms of time. They also understand that attacking their opponents with all their strength is a great hidden danger to the backcourt defense, but the situation of falling behind leaves them no choice.Obviously, they can't worry so much now. There is no difference between conceding one goal and conceding more goals. They just have to give it a go, try to score goals, and bring the two sides back to the same starting line.
No.607 minutes, C. Ronaldo made a breakthrough on the wing. After passing two Spanish players in a row, he suddenly sent the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area. After Simao got the ball, he adjusted slightly and kicked the goal. Out of the column.
Two minutes later, C. Ronaldo made a comeback again. He also cooperated with Simao, but this time the shot was replaced by C. Ronaldo himself. He made a fake shot outside the penalty area, causing Pique to lean , but suddenly flicked the ball, and then hit the goal, Casillas struggled to hit the ball out of the bottom line.
In the subsequent corner kick, C. Ronaldo jumped up and rubbed his head. Thiago slid in the middle and shoveled, but failed to touch the football. Missed a good scoring opportunity again.
This continuous wave of Portuguese offensives can be said to have created a great threat, but correspondingly, because of the full-scale attack, the defensive strength of the midfield was weakened. The Spanish team seized this point and used precise and fast passing. Created an opportunity to expand the score.
No.701 minutes, Capdevila put in an assist, and made a long diagonal pass to find Llorente in the penalty area. The latter overwhelmed Carvalho and shook his head to attack the goal. Facing the shot that was close at hand, Eduardo had already disarmed Surrendered, but the football hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.
One minute later, Harvey's precise long pass from the backcourt found Fan Bizhuang, who was sprinting along the sidewalk. Duo hurriedly flew forward and punched the ball out.
Spain’s best opportunity to expand the score advantage came in the No.709 minute. Fan Bizhuang broke into the penalty area with the ball, faced Pepe’s squeeze and push, carried the club teammate with his back, and knocked the ball back behind him. Ah Alonso hits the ball in the back row and shoots furiously, but Alonso's kick is flawed in this shot that is bound to be scored, and he has no strength. The football is once again confiscated by Eduardo.
The field has completely formed a confrontational trend. Both teams have the opportunity to score, but they have not been able to grasp it, especially Spain, which has been unable to expand the advantage for a long time, which gave Portugal the opportunity to tie the score. hope.
No.805 minutes, Portugal got another good chance. C. Ronaldo's continuous breakthroughs in the frontcourt attracted the attention of most defensive players, but it was a very high-quality and very concealed through ball, which tore Spain's defense line. Simao quickly inserted an anti-offside Success, single-handedly faced goalkeeper Casillas.
"A wonderful pass from Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar showed another skill besides scoring goals, and his passing ability is also eye-opening!"
"Single-handed! Single-handed!! Simao faced the goalkeeper single-handedly! This is Portugal's best chance to score! This will be a chance to save Portugal's fate!"
"The duel between Simao and Casillas, who is the final winner!"
The scene was silent, and the fans were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, only the commentator's sharp exclamation kept ringing.
The victory or defeat is already clear in the blink of an eye.
Casillas quickly abandoned the goal and attacked, and his position selection was also very smart, almost covering all of Simão's possible shooting routes, but facing the menacing San Cassie, Simão seemed a little flustered With hesitation, the distance between the two kept shrinking, Simao finally lifted his foot, and his left foot rubbed to the point of football.
He chose a lob shot, which is the best way to shoot when the angle is not large.
But Casillas seems to have expected this a long time ago. At the moment when he was about to lose his balance, he waved his hands high, and the football flying in mid-air was hit by a pair of big hands, and the football flew out of the penalty area. , Ramos cleared the football out of the boundary with a big foot.
Casillas won this one-on-one duel, and he defended the Spanish team's gate with both hands!
"Save it! Save it!! Cassie! Cassie!! Cassie... Lias! It's Saint Cassie! He was so quick, he was incredible, he defended the goal, he helped My team continues to maintain a one-goal lead!"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!!! Simao actually missed the chance of a one-handed goal. My God, it is very difficult for Portugal to have such a good opportunity. In this brotherly battle, the Spanish team is likely to laugh To the end!"
"Simao squatted on the ground in frustration. Behind him, C. Luo held his head in both hands, his face full of disbelief... Perhaps for C. Luo, this single-handed failure was the heaviest blow. He I have done everything I can, but... I can only say that C. Luo's biggest regret is that he does not have a team that can provide him with help and support. He can only play the role of a lonely hero, but obviously, a lonely hero is also It's not so easy to be, because he has a group of teammates who can hinder him at any time... Well, anyway, at this moment, Casillas is the hero of the whole team. , he seems to have saved the whole world!"
Casillas quickly got up from the ground, raised his arms and roared, not only to encourage himself, but also as if celebrating this successful save.
Simao was in front of him, and he went up to touch the other person's head to show comfort.
He glanced at C. Luo who was not far away. This teammate of the club was standing there with his hands on his hips. His previous self-confidence seemed to have disappeared, and what was left was only deep helplessness.
Casillas also sighed a little, but this is football, where they are enemies, so all he can do is to help his team win as much as possible.
Casillas clapped his hands at C. Luo and gave a thumbs up. C. Luo just nodded slightly, then turned around and walked back.It's just that at this moment, in Casillas' view, C. Luo's back is so lonely and bleak.
Complicated emotions just came to my mind, and the teammates have already ran over cheering, or shouting excitedly, or patting the shoulders, or ravaging the hair. This magical save made all the Spanish players excited.
……
The game continues.
But after experiencing this excellent scoring but not scoring, the spirit of the Portuguese team is like falling into the water, almost disappearing.
It is difficult for them to raise their fighting spirit to launch a threatening offensive. C. Luo is still shouting, still actively running and fighting, he is not willing to give up, even if the end of failure is doomed, but he is still running.
However, no matter how unwilling he is, he will be alone and helpless.
The Spanish team's defense was impenetrable, but their offensive was continuous. Coupled with the strong midfielder firmly controlling the rhythm of the game, the Portuguese team's counterattack was completely extinguished.
And when the game progressed to No. 807 minutes, Portugal was hit hard again, and the Spanish team played a fast break. During the fight, Capdevila fell to the ground. A red card, and he was directly expelled from the game.
The scene was at a disadvantage, and the score was also behind. Now that there is one less player on the field, the Portuguese team has completely fallen into the abyss of failure.
"There is no chance! Portugal has no chance! The result is already doomed. C. Ronaldo can only leave the stage of the World Cup in South Africa with unwillingness and regret!"
"Perhaps Portugal's exit and C. Ronaldo's exit are extremely regrettable and painful for many fans who like him, but this is football! The Spanish team is stronger and Fan's performance is even better, so they can win the final. victory!"
"We can announce that the last eight places in this World Cup have been born, and they are - Matador Legion, Spain!"
In the hustle and bustle of the sky, the sharp whistle of the end of the game finally sounded, and the score was fixed at 1:0.
In this brotherly battle, in this strong dialogue between Fan Bizhuang and C. Luo, Spain and Fan Bizhuang finally had the last laugh and became the last team to advance to the quarter-finals in this World Cup!
