When Portugal took the lead and the deadlock was broken, the situation on the pitch began to change. Although the Czech team still gave up the midfield and retreated on the defensive end, it was no longer as thorough as before. Defensively, they need to be more aggressive and proactive in their defensive attitude to try and regain their disadvantage. Compared to before, the Czech formation has begun to expand outward. And this is what Lao Lei and Portugal want to see, only after there are enough gaps, and the layers of Portuguese mercury are advanced, there will be gaps to move forward.

Of course, since this is only the first half, and the Czechs are not yet at the point of fighting on their backs, their tactics have not fundamentally changed, but they have increased their aggression. After the restart, the intensity of Czech interceptions near the center circle increased considerably. This kind of intensity made it impossible for Portugal to push the football smoothly for a while. But it's just a matter of time, because no one can maintain this defensive intensity for a long time, there is always a time to rest, and that moment is their lifeline.

Therefore, Lao Lei was not in a hurry, and when he could not advance along the line, he organized the Portuguese backfield players to patiently reverse the ball in his own half, consuming the physical energy of the Czech players. However, things are not so easy, and the Czech Republic's blocking ability is still very good. More often than not, they were just helplessly slipped away by Portuguese players, but as soon as they broke the football, it was a great threat to the Portuguese defence.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Lao Lei was in the midfield to receive Andrade's pass. Under the pressure of Barosh, Andrade's pass was off and not very accurately delivered to the feet of the old ray. forced Lao Lei to make adjustments to receive the ball. However, it was at this time that the Czech Republic was waiting for, and Nedved followed Lao Lei fiercely to grab this football. The two of them are constantly fighting each other with their bodies. Although Nedved was not able to get the ball first, he did not let Ray hold the ball steadily. Old Lei stumbled a little under his feet.

At this time, Rosicky appeared, a tackle accurate to the centimeter, and directly destroyed the football at Lao Lei's feet. Then, the football was acquired by Nedved, and then the Czech attack began. Nedved rushed forward with the ball directly, and a one-two with Poboski was directly past Kostiani, who was on the grab, and finally managed to get to the edge of the Portuguese penalty area. Meantime. Barosch and Jankole began to run and pull, and the Portuguese back line created gaps for Nedved to handle the ball.

Nedved dribbled sideways at the edge of the penalty area, pulled out the shooting route, and then directly hit the goal with a powerful shot. The tremendous force of the foot gave the football a high speed, and the football flew like a cannonball out of the chamber towards the gates of Portugal. In terms of shooting power alone, Nedved and Lao Lei are evenly matched. Their powerful volleys are the goalkeeper's biggest headaches. Because of such a huge power, it is a big challenge for the goalkeeper, and it is very difficult to hold it directly with his hand, and once he can't hold it, he can get rid of it. It will leave a good chance for the opposing striker to shoot in front of goal.

That's how it was at this time, Nedved's shot, although the angle can't be said to be too tricky. But it also tested Ricciardo's ability to make saves. To be on the safe side, Ricciardo opted for a double-fist shot from Nedved. But Nedved's shot was hugely powerful. So that this idea did not succeed, he did not be able to go far. The football was high and not far away, flying over the penalty area. In the forbidden area, there was a sudden chaos. So far, Jankoller's height has been a big problem for the Portuguese defence, and this time it was he who created the crisis.

With his height, he once again grabbed the second landing point. This time, instead of opting for a header, he stopped the ball. Tall stature, and no rough technique under the feet of the guide. It's not as good as Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the delicate demeanor that disdains short players, but it's practical enough to give him some technical ability at his feet. After the header was off the ball, Jankoller made a series of connections, leaning on Carvalho, leading with his right foot, and directly half-turning to shoot low. His coherent movements didn't make Carvalho's block work.

Thankfully, the angle of the shot was limited, so Ricardo's prediction was not so difficult. Stubbornly defending the near corner, he didn't let Jankoller's shot stick into the post, jumped into the near corner, and successfully blocked it. "Hmm!!" In the stands, the Portuguese players who were still on the rise were immediately shocked into a cold sweat. At the same time, the two consecutive shots on goal made the Czech fans re-energize and began to cheer up the players with loud singing again. In a short period of time after falling behind, the Czechs used this attack to regain momentum. Seeing such a situation, Lao Lei had to sigh again, a difficult opponent.

The game restarted, starting with a Czech corner. Now every set-piece of the Czech Republic has made the Portuguese defense nervous, and the disadvantage of continuous high-altitude balls after the start has already made them a little bit of a snake. Just when Portugal set up a heavy defensive force in the penalty area, the Czechs were clever enough to change the way they took corners and didn't play high balls.

When Portuguese players pay more attention to the defense of the penalty area, then the defensive force at the edge of the penalty area is bound to be a little empty. Poboski's corner, straight to the edge of the box, at Rosicky's feet. With space open, Rosicky fired another long-range shot that hit Kostiani, with a line change that tested Ricardo's concentration again and the Czechs won another corner.

Such a continuous wave of attacks, although it did not score in the end, it greatly boosted the morale and confidence of the Czech players. Now, apart from the change in the scoreline, the additional impact of Gomez's goal on the Czech players is already very limited. This made Lao Lei, who had the idea of chasing after the victory, sigh that it was a pity that he lost a good opportunity.

However, there is no good news for Portugal, which is that their previously invincible possession-based style of play has regained its vitality in this game. In the 41st minute of the first half, Lao Lei received the ball again in midfield and once again faced the siege of Nedved and Rosicky. Facing Ricciardo's direct long-distance pass, after Lao Lei's chest stopped, he leaned on Nedved behind him, and before Rosicky's encirclement came up, he didn't wait for the football to land, and directly volleyed the right heel and knocked the football to Deco's feet.

Then he immediately turned around and accelerated forward, and received the football knocked back directly by Deco. Then, he didn't stop the ball, faced the grabbing Galasek, and knocked the ball back to Deco. The two successive wall combinations between the two men directly broke down the Czech midfield barrier and allowed them to directly threaten the front of the Czech penalty area. When Deco took the ball to the front of the Czech penalty area, Gomez pulled out and completed a classic triangle pass with Deco and Lao Lei.

Gomez leaned on his back to Ujfarusi and successfully played the role of a fulcrum, knocking Deco's pass back directly to Lao Ray, who was inserted in front. In the face of Gomez's pass, Lao Lei did not stop the ball, and directly picked up the football and gave it to Deco, who was inserted into the penalty area. At this time, Deco faced Boulf's strict blockade and went directly to the bottom line, as if he wanted to take the path of the bottom cross. However, at this time, Deco's heel knocked directly to Ronaldo, who inserted diagonally. At this point, Portugal's series of exquisite passing and running combinations were successfully completed, creating an unguarded shooting opportunity for Ronaldo, which was the best ground coordination played by Portugal in this game, smooth, concise and subtle.

Although in the end, Ronaldo's shot on goal still failed to penetrate Cech's ten fingers. But this is still very satisfying for Lao Lei, he sees that Portugal's normal style of play has worked, which will be the key to whether Portugal can finally win this game, the winning team must be the team that plays its own football, and was not disrupted by the opponent in the game and lost its own football style.

The back-and-forth between the two sides lasted until the last minute of first-half stoppage time, and the score was still 1:0. As the first half drew to a close, both sides invariably lowered their attacking firepower and prepared for the break. At this time, Lao Lei suddenly launched another attack, hitting the Czech players with a lack of concentration.

A sudden acceleration start, allowing Lao Lei to easily break directly to the edge of the Czech penalty area. In the middle, the continuous wall cooperation with Deco and Figo broke through the Czech midfield defense at once. Under the fierce defense of Nedved, Lao Lei received a direct plug from Figo, and after a few big strides, he came to the front of the Czech penalty area.

After making a shooting stance, he made a quick stop and let Nedved's big sliding tackle pass his feet. Then Lao Lei made two consecutive lateral dials with his right foot, adjusted slightly, and directly shot from a distance. At this time, a figure crawled with his hands and feet, and directly jumped out horizontally, blocking Lao Lei's shot with his face. This figure is none other than the Czech No. 11, Pavel Nedved.

Pavel, with his aggressive defense, defused Remaia's shot. This iron man once again showed us his fighting spirit of never admitting defeat. You know, using your own head to block Remayar's powerful shot is like joking with your own life. ”

When the referee's whistle blew, the score remained 1:0 until half-time.

Lao Lei ended up with a lot of fighting spirit.

At this time, his mind was still full of the picture he had just had. He shot at goal, which blinded Nedved's head and caused him to bleed from his nose. In front of Lao Lei, staring at Lao Lei's eyes, Nedved directly wiped away the nosebleed, not caring at all, as if he had just been bitten by a mosquito.

From Nedved's eyes, Old Ray saw a sentence.

"Win! I want to win!! ”

While he felt a little respect for Nedved in his heart, it also ignited his fighting spirit.

"That's the game! It's cool to the bone!! (To be continued......)
