At half-time, the atmosphere in the Portuguese dressing room was a bit dignified. Everyone has expected the second half of the game to be difficult and difficult, and they will usher in an not easy second half with 10 men. Portugal's tactics in the second half will be very obvious, and that is to defend and counter-attack. With a team of 10 men against the Netherlands, Scolari hasn't gone crazy to this point. Then the next question is how to lay out the defence, and Arjen Robben on the left will be an urgent problem for Portugal.

However, before the tactical set-up, Scolari's first thing to do was to boost the morale of the Portuguese players. The side that is at the bottom of the situation must play with higher morale and a more positive attitude, otherwise why turn the tables. This kind of thing, he handed over to the Portuguese captain Figo to do. Figo's mood was a little complicated at this time, because before he entered the dressing room, the head coach Scolari was the first to tell him a piece of news. In the second half, he was likely to be the first to be substituted. At such an important moment for the team, Figo, as the captain, is naturally reluctant to play. However, considering the current state of the team, if he contradicts Scolari again, it will undoubtedly be worse for Portugal.

This European Championship will undoubtedly be Figo's last European Championship as a player, and it is also the most promising European Championship to reach the top, and he does not want to ruin this last chance. For the sake of the team's future, he chose to accept. This is the same reason as Rui Costa accepting to sit on the bench, which belongs to the mentality of veterans. Seeing Scolari's color, Figo stood up and said, "Guys. I know the team is in a very bad situation at the moment and want to fix it. It will undoubtedly be a very difficult thing to do. At the start of the second half, I will be substituted. In the tone. Some helplessness and loneliness.

Hearing Figo's words, the Portuguese players all raised their heads and looked at him, with something more in their eyes. "I accepted it because my table so far in this race has not been outstanding. But, you're different, guys, and I know how good you are. What a great team this team is. I believe that you can help the team through this difficult time, carry the hopes of the people of this country, and continue my dreams. Guys, this will be my last European Cup! I want to win! Die to win!! Otherwise, it will be a regret that I will never forget. Guys, please!! With that, Figo bowed deeply to everyone.

With his usual high prestige in the Portuguese national team, as well as this sincere words. Finally it was the infection and the boost that all the Portuguese players were. All the Portuguese players had a fighting spirit in their eyes, and everyone had an idea in their hearts, for their old captain, fight! Lao Lei's heart was also a little moved. At the same time, I was also relieved. Originally, Lao Lei was still worried about how to motivate the morale of his teammates, but now he doesn't need to worry about this problem.

Aware of the locker room. After the change in atmosphere, Scolari let go of his worries. Clap your hands. Begin to explain the tactical layout of the second half. The 15-minute break at halftime passed quickly, and Lao Lei and his teammates returned to the field. Come face a tough second half. Meanwhile, as Portugal's vice-captain, Portugal's captain's armband was worn on his left arm after Figo's departure. After Figo's departure, he was replaced by Maniche, who stayed on the sidelines to warm up with Miguel at half-time and did not enter the dressing room.

"Oh, at the beginning of the second half, Big Phil made a substitution. No.7 Figo was replaced with left-sided midfielder No.18 Maniche from Porto. This player is well known for his success in Porto this season. He is characterized by good long-range shots, and he is active defensively and has good defensive ability. In that case, Scolari's attitude was clear, and Portugal had to defend in the second half. Seeing Scolari's substitution decision, the commentators made comments and predictions.

With the referee's whistle, a doomed second half began for Grape. Once the game began, Portugal's formation began to retract, almost all of which retreated to their own half. After Maniche came on the pitch, he still played on the left side, and Ronaldo went to the right. At the same time, Maniche was further back, almost alongside Lao Lei. Kostiani, on the other hand, retreated to the central defender position and played alongside Carvalho in central defence. Andrade's position was pulled to the right wing-back position.

As a result, Portugal's formation will become 4-3-1-1 when defending and 4-1-3-1 when attacking, with Lao Lei and Maniche taking turns to move forward. In the face of such a change in Portugal, the Netherlands did not immediately make substitution adjustments, but still maintained the lineup of the first half and began to bombard the Portuguese defense.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Robben found his defensive posture change after receiving another pass from Cocu on the left. At this time, he was faced with the joint defense of Maniche and Andrade, one to prevent him from going under, and the other from cutting inside, tightly knitting, and not giving him any route. Such a defensive arrangement had an effect, and at any time, Robben, who faced the double package, did not have the invincibility of the first half, and began to be limited again and again. Facing Portugal, who are going all out to defend, the Netherlands will need to pay more if they want to make a breakthrough.

Gradually, the Dutch team's formation began to get higher and higher, and the assistance of the back line began to rise. In the 52nd minute of the second half, Van Bronckhorst provided the assist. played a wall-hitting match with Robben, which gave Robben a good chance to go down. Near the baseline, after a series of flashes and movements, Robben shook off a passing angle and stumbled to pass the ball.

The ball did not go to the goal, but to the top of the penalty area. Under the close pressure of Lao Lei, Seedorf directly stopped with his heel in the volley and stopped the football to Coku on the side. Similarly, Cocu did not stop the ball, but rubbed it directly at the ball and passed it into the box. At the same time, Ruud van Nistelrooy is also a tacit understanding of the running position, which is a typical through diagonal cut. Under the pressure of Kostiani. Fanny showed his aura as the king of the forbidden area at this time.

Facing the ball still in the air, Vanney stretched out his right foot. Didn't stop the ball, and knocked it directly on the back heel. Let the football go the other way. Immediately after, he turned 180 degrees with his left foot as the axis. Such a series of actions made Kostiani a little unable to keep up, and Vanney gained the space and time of the gate. Immediately, Ruud van Nistelrooy curled a ball with the inside of his right foot.

The shot challenged the hearts of the Portuguese fans, but thankfully, Ricardo saved them. A touch of the tip of the right finger made the ball change its trajectory slightly. Hit the outside of the right post and popped off the baseline. The shot didn't break the Portuguese goal, but it was like a starting gun that went off, and the Dutch attack became more and more aggressive.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Lei and his teammates could feel the pressure becoming more and more dignified. They began to have to use more tactical fouls to disrupt the Dutch attack and defend their own gates. In the 56th minute of the second half, the Netherlands formed a continuous offensive in front of the Portuguese goal. Old Ray tackles with a falling ground. After disrupting Davis' long-range shot from behind, the ball didn't fly far and flew high into the sky. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Overmars both rushed over to grab the football. Conduct a second offensive.

Lao Lei gritted his teeth, propped up his hands, and immediately stood up. And then. The body rises directly into the air and falls backwards. With an upside-down gold hook, this unconventional action of breaking the siege. Bigfoot cleared the siege successfully. Subsequently, Lao Lei was also planted on the grass without protection. This time, Lao Lei slowed down on the ground for a few seconds before standing up. fell to the ground hard, causing discomfort, and made Lao Lei drink a pot again.

"Whew, what a desperate escape. At a time when people are paying more and more attention to Reima's offense, he stands up again and tells everyone that he is famous for his defense and has a firm foothold. Regardless of the outcome, Reima showed the attitude that a captain should show Xiàn, and did an example of what a captain should do. In this game, Lao Lei's desperate defense several times made the commentators express their appreciation for him. The Portuguese fans also expressed their encouragement and support for him with applause.

However, this made the Cindia in the stands distressed. Cindia's eyes were already filled with tears, and Xiao Ji directly covered her eyes with her little hands, unable to bear to watch. "What a bastard." Avril burst out softly, with a worry in her eyes that was difficult to dissolve.

However, the Dutch attack did not weaken in the slightest because of Lao Lei's bravery. In the 61st minute of the second half, the Netherlands made another comeback. At this time, Lao Lei had also begun to get the devil's muscles, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that at least it would be better now, and he could be more open.

Seedorf's long-range shot hit the leg of Lao Lei and flew out of the box, giving the Netherlands a corner. Robben's corner kick created a scuffle in the Portuguese penalty area. In the scuffle, Overmars slammed a volley into goal, forcing Ricciardo to make another brilliant save. The force is so strong that the ball bounces back in front of the penalty area.

At this time, Vanney once again showed his top scorer Su zhì. He came straight with a beautiful upside-down golden hook and the ball drilled straight into the Portuguese goal. At this point, Ricardo was still on the ground, unable to make another save. Just when the Dutch were about to celebrate their equaliser, the Portuguese captain stepped up and the red number 13 turned the tide again!

Lao Lei, who was standing near the goal line, had no time to think about Vanney's shot, and instinctively reacted. Not daring to reach out to stop it, this was the first thought that could come to his mind. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he suddenly fell forward with his upper body, flew up, and then raised his feet backwards.

He kept his body up, his eyes fixed on the flying football. At this point, he can only pray that his luck is good. After a few seconds, he almost wanted to scream, "I must have been taken by Lady Luck!" "He used his heel to block Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot!

Although this is not a goal, this action still makes the entire Alvalade Stadium suddenly silent!

A few seconds later, the earth shook and the mountains shook into cheers! The ground seems to be trembling slightly!!

"Wow! Oh roar roar!! Oh roar roar roar !! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!! Descend the dragon and swing the tail! Descend the dragon and swing the tail!! What do I see?! What the!! Ikita?! Ah, God!! Unbeatable Defense! Unparalleled!! Dutch, did you see that?! See?!! In front of the Portuguese goal, there are two goalkeepers! Two!! Want to break down? Let's practice for a few more years!! (To be continued......)
