Chapter 289: The First Trick!
"Reima again, Gerrard's forward pass was blocked by him again. I can't comment on England's decision to attack on the ground, but it looks like they are really bad. It has been 5 minutes since the start of the game, and Rooney has been the busiest person in the field except for Reima, but he has been on the camera every time. That alone is enough to illustrate the problem. At the moment, the boos of the England fans seem so weak and useless," said a neutral commentator, hitting the nail on the head.
As things stand, no one can deny the efforts of the English players, just as they agree that the English are not spending their energy right. The pre-match expectation of a long ball and a high ball against Portugal did not come to England's feet. Their skills are quite rough under their feet, but they are constantly trying to attack the Portuguese defense zone by advancing and penetrating the ground.
It is true that the efficiency and durability of the ground attack will be higher than that of the high-altitude ball tactic, but this does not apply to England. Because their foot skills and passing ability, compared with Portugal, they can't do it at the same level, and the difference between the two is a grade. Admittedly, England's five-man midfield configuration has increased the depth of the central defence, but it has not allowed England to gain control of the midfield.
The Portuguese midfielders, led by Lao Lei, may not be able to break through this midfield defense for a while, but they are enough to control the football at their feet and make the active running of the English players useless. To put it mildly, this kind of scene is like walking a dog. Portugal, under the organization of Lao Lei, has not yet launched an effective offensive even for the time being. But he has always firmly grasped the situation and the initiative on the field, and he wants to press the English, who seem to be full of morale.
In such a situation. Considering the physical disadvantage on his side, Lao Lei was not in a hurry to launch an offensive immediately. Let your own team-mates go head-to-head with this group of bullish-looking Englishmen. He may not have any major problems himself, but considering the overall situation, he still thinks that he will sneak this group of brutes for a while for a while, and then talk about their morale.
Besides, the current state of standing still does not make Lao Lei feel bored, at least he can play some people at this time, such as Gerrard, such as Rooney. In the 7th minute of the first half, Portugal was again organized by Lao Lei. Forming a continuous possession near the midfield.
The dilemma of not being able to grab the ball in a row made England's midfielders feel a little hairy, and their anger gradually rose. At this time, when Lao Lei came to the right side to receive a pass from Valente, the English midfielders who had been restrained to maintain their positions suddenly pressed en masse, showing a crazy and demanding posture.
At the same time, one man was alone up front, and Wayne Rooney, who had been in the works for some time, also cooperated with the active pressing. I didn't get the ball and couldn't get support from my teammates. The state of doing nothing by himself has made this grumpy little fat man unable to hold back his fire. This time, if the England midfielder does not press up, I am afraid that his sharpness will have to fade since then.
Blocking a passing route. The encirclement of Lao Lei was carried out, and soon a blockade network with Lao Lei as the core was formed. Lao Lei is no stranger to this kind of predicament. In the Premier League and Champions League, as the core of Chelsea, he has met him many times. Although I don't know what others will do with it. But Lao Lei's personal solution is to break through the first way. The next thing will be solved.
Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, these three are the first blockade line for Lao Ray. However, due to the distance, the first person among the three to catch up was naturally Lu Xiaopang, who had already had fire in his eyes and had been alone on the front line. In the face of the ferocious robbery of this "old friend", Lao Lei instantly made a conjecture about the next series of actions in his heart. At the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull out a "sweet" smile, and his heart said that this was an excellent gift.
Before Rooney came to the front, Ray put the instep of his left foot on the top of the football and moved the ball to the right. Just as Rooney adjusted his center of gravity and stretched out his right foot to try to intercept, Old Ray's left foot gently lifted up, and immediately went around the ball above it and came to its right side. Then, with the outside of his left foot, he re-stepped to the left, completely bypassing Rooney's right foot.
At the same time, Lao Lei himself also took advantage of the situation, and he caught up with football again in two steps. Rooney, on the other hand, stood in awkwardness, unable to move at all as he was still urgently adjusting his center of gravity. In such a predicament, the exclamations of the Portuguese fans on the sidelines made Lu Xiaopang's heart rise with a big irritation. As a young genius who has attracted worldwide attention, the most unbearable thing is to be in public, especially after he has said cruel words, he is completely teased in front of someone, and Rooney is no different.
While Rooney himself was angry and embarrassed, Old Ray was still breaking the blockade of England, and this was not the end. As soon as he regained control of the football, David Beckham and Steven Gerrard rushed up from behind him.
Not daring to have the slightest slackness, Lao Lei immediately made an emergency stop, and after stepping on the football with his left foot, the whole person took advantage of the situation to make a Marseille roundabout, allowing Gerrard to grab violently. Then, after withstanding Gerrard's unrelenting blow, Ray made a horizontal flick of the outside of his left foot and began to dribble quickly sideways with Beckham.
Heartthrob's speed passes and free-kicks are a must, but speed is never so. Originally, after Lao Lei exerted a few exertions, he was going to shake off Beckham's entanglement. But in the process of running, Beckham kept making physical contact with Lao Lei from the side, restricting Lao Lei's acceleration and not giving Lao Lei a chance to accelerate away from him.
At the same time, Frank Lampard also pressed from the side in time to once again join David Beckham in a scramble for Ray. In this way, Lao Lei also had to temporarily reduce his speed and firmly step on the football under his feet first. In addition, Gerrard, who had just been thrown away by Lao Ray with a Marseille roundabout. At this time, he had already adjusted his center of gravity, and he chased after him in two big strides. also tried to encircle Beckham and block the route of Lao Lei's return.
The situation is dangerous. But in fact, Old Ray had already broken the blockade route of England. Because, although he himself seems to be still surrounded, the passing route has been completely opened in front of him. With Hargreaves staying at the back to guard against it, only Wayne Rooney and Joe Cole were up front to block his pass. For today's Lao Lei, the blocking of the two people is not enough to challenge his passing ability. It's not arrogant, you know, it's in the Portuguese half, the base camp of Old Ray.
But. These safe passing routes, although they are less difficult and less risky, will make Lao Lei's previous series of escapes useless. This is not what Lao Lei wants, nor is it his original goal. According to Lao Lei's football understanding, after taking the ball for such a long time, it is necessary to create matching threats and contributions, otherwise everything will not be useless, which is not in line with his football philosophy.
Thereupon. He chose a dangerous, but unexpected, passing route. Seeing Frank Lampard's arrival, the elder Ray made an emergency stop and immediately flicked the outside of his left foot. I made a posture of going in the opposite direction. However, after not taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped suddenly. Stepping on the football with his right foot, the whole person took the position of Marseille slalom again.
But this time. Ray's breakthrough was not favoured, thanks to Frank Lampard. Even if he turns around and gets rid of Beckham temporarily, he will immediately meet Frank Lampard's interception. Therefore, although many commentators have been slapped in the face by Lao Lei countless times with facts, at this time, they are still not optimistic that Lao Lei can successfully resolve his dilemma, and expressed their doubts in real time that Lao Lei has too much ball.
Only this time, they were disappointed again, and Lao Lei won again. After facing Beckham and others again, Lao Lei's left foot did not take the Marseille slalom to lead the ball, but directly knocked his heel, allowing the football to pass under the crotch of the heartthrob who could not react. Although, Frank Lampard, who knew Lao Lei very well, immediately grabbed it in the next moment, blocking the route of Lao Lei turning and cutting forward. But Lao Lei's goal this time is not to pass, but to pass. Just now, he had already observed the route of Deco's retracement.
"Wow!!" After Lao Lei successfully picked the ball out, England's empty midfield hinterland was completely exposed to Portugal's attacking line. Although, this time Lao Lei is destined to not be able to participate, but the lineup of Portugal's frontcourt attack line still makes everyone smell the smell of opportunity, crisis, or goal. Moreover, no matter what smell they smelled, everyone's hearts were shocked at this time, shocked by the appearance of this opportunity, and shocked by Lao Lei's series of easy to come, such as getting rid of and passing the ball in a no-man's land! They were amazed at all the wonders of this old thunder's football!!
Then, after three passes and two passes up front, Ronaldo soon got the opportunity to shoot from distance on the edge of the England penalty area, and he also completed a good quality shot. However, England goalkeeper Robinson did a great job and flew to block the football off the line, and England escaped.
However, even so, all the English people were shocked into a cold sweat at this moment! Portugal's first shot on goal was very efficient and gave them a blow to the heart!
In shock, everyone turned their attention to the Portuguese half, the body of the 13th, everyone understood that Portugal's heavy punch came from here! The first-hand planning from this No. 13 comes from him!
Although Lao Lei's excellence has become world-famous at this moment, everything he has done at this moment still amazes or shocks everyone. Because under the ferocious chasing and blocking of the English players, his calmness and calmness are so strong that no one can ignore them! All have to watch!
At the same time, they also use incomprehensible gazes.
Among them, naturally, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, and other four people who witnessed all this closely.
After watching Ronaldo's long-range shot that was saved, Lao Lei immediately felt these four complicated lines of sight in addition to regret, or helplessly smiled bitterly, or annoyed and angry, or burned with fighting spirit, or incredible.
However, no matter what, their eyes have one thing in common, they are all focused on Lao Lei, and at the same time they are a little sluggish! Stunned sluggish!!
Seeing this, Lao Lei first pulled the corners of his mouth and pulled out a mocking arc.
Then, he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders in a gesture of complete innocence.
And then he spun in place.
With this innocent gesture, mocking smile and playful smile, he swept over every one of them, and transmitted his disdain and sarcasm to each of them in the eyes, hearts, deep, deep
Then, at once, he received a response, a pair of eyes that looked like enraged beasts, and the fire that burst into those eyes.
This is a response to be happy about, at least for Lao Lei, and what he wants, this is also the case.
So, he narrowed his eyes with joy and turned his smile into a big one.
At the same time, the ridicule and banter are infinitely magnified and magnified
Then, like a heavy artillery shell, it boomed, and it all blasted into the hearts of those who saw the master.
Blow them up and make them look hideous! Unrecognizable!! (To be continued......)
