PS: Two chapters first, and there will be more to come

In Portugal's dressing room, the players were talking together with a relaxed face, and Figo's face showed the brightest smile since the World Cup. Oliveira looked at the happy smile of his biggest ace and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't say it, Figo's sluggish form still made him very anxious, and now the big player finally scored, showing a good mental state. Oliveira hopes this is the starting point for Figo to get better and better.

Then he looked at Figo, who was exchanging views with Rui Costa, and couldn't help but feel a little pride. The doubts that summoned Lao Lei in the past turned into one-sided admiration, and Oliveira also gained a reputation for knowing people and making good use of them. The young old Ray is becoming an indispensable member of this Portuguese team with incredible speed. Some Portuguese media even joked that Lao Lei moved the miracle he created in Leiria to the national team and repeated it again.

It's good to have a relaxed mindset, but it's too much. Oliveira felt he should remind his disciple and coughed a few times before saying, "We were all happy to have equalised in the last moments of the first half. But remember, it's only 1:1 now, and I'm sure everyone feels that Italy is not easy to deal with. These words made the Portuguese players restrain their relaxed attitude a little, and it is true that the game is not over yet, and they just equalized.

Seeing the change in the players' demeanor, Oliveira nodded in satisfaction. Began to lay out some tactical set-ups for the second half, and to say that what worried Oliveira the most in the first half was Piero's recovery. Originally, an Apennine tank would have been powerful enough, and now there is a prince of Juventus who is in good shape. Power is not simply 1 plus 1 equals 2, it will become 3, 4 or even 5. Oliveira doesn't think he needs to make changes in attack. There are certain changes that need to be made defensively.

Oliveira moved his back line closer to the midfield. Although Italy played defensive counter-attacks, Vieri and Piero in the forward line were not players who were known for their speed. The forward pressing back line can give Bento enough defensive support when Lao Ray is in front. And Oliveira also focused on Bentodo's support, Andrade's wide defense, focusing on taking care of Piero and compressing the space when he dribble. Piero is not the kind of striker who waits for the ball, he needs space to run, sprint, dribble and rarely stay in the box because of his height. Often he will come out to get the ball. This is a highly targeted deployment.

At Oliveira's set-up, time passed quickly, and 15 minutes passed quickly. At the start of the second half, Trapattoni made a surprise substitution, with No. 17 Tomasi coming on and No. 8 Gattuso coming on. Looking at this big man who is not good at stubble at first glance, Lao Lei almost exclaimed the alias of Lao Jia. Gattuso was the first mentor in the old thunder system, and it still exists today. Old Ray can mature so quickly on the defensive end, and Gattuso has a lot of credit. There is also the formation of a defensive style, which is also influenced by Gattuso. Lao Jia, this is Lao Lei's name for Gattuso in the system.

Before the game, Lao Lei had thought about what it was like to compete with Gattuso in the real world, and this fantasy came true. But it doesn't feel very good. Lao Lei obviously saw that Gattuso looked at him after he came on the court, and his eyes were not very friendly and murderous. Eighty percent came for themselves. Old Ray is a difficult person to know Dao Gattuso, like a hunting dog. If you bite it, you won't let go, and your movements are fierce and decisive. When the system is sparring between two people. Scenes that have been staged countless times will be repeated today in the real world competition.

The second half came in the anxious awaitment of the fans, who hoped to see the kind of beautiful goals that were seen in the first half. After the start of the game, it was Portugal who kicked off, and the Portuguese players masterfully controlled the football to kick off the second half of the Italian-Portuguese game.

However, it was obvious that Portugal's passing ball in the second half was not as smooth as in the first half, because Lao Lei was entangled by Gattuso at this important point. Oliveira looked at the situation on the field, glanced at the white-haired Trapattoni next to him, and said to himself the old fox. But Oliveira also had to admire, arranging a special defender for a midfielder, which he thought he could not have imagined. And judging from the situation on the field, the effect is good, and Lao Lei, who was firmly followed by Gattuso, had to retreat for a while, which made Portugal's attack in the front court difficult in the face of Italy's defense.

Lao Lei, who was entangled by Gattuso, also aroused his ferocity at this time, and fought hand-to-hand with Gattuso in the midfield without showing weakness. The movements of the two of them were not very clean, it was almost like they were fighting with themselves in the mirror. Old Ray leaned on Gattuso with his back and received the ball from Bento. Feeling the pull behind Gattuso's back, he kept pushing his right foot with his knee, Lao Lei leaned back, and then his back heel slammed, and the football rolled past Gattuso's right foot.

When Lao Lei wanted to turn around and break through Gattuso with speed, Gattuso, who was a step late, simply stretched out his feet and pulled his hand, and Lao Lei fell firmly on the court. This made Lao Lei a little angry, and he stood up suddenly, and began to fight the cow with Gattuso beside him, and Gattuso did not show weakness. The two of them were like duel bulls, their heads on top of each other, their mouths squirreling trash talk. Players from both sides hurried over and pulled the two apart to calm them down.

Referee Moreno called the two men to his side and gave them a verbal warning, signaling them to stay calm, otherwise he would show no mercy. At the end of the day, he also showed Gattuso a yellow card and asked Gattuso to control his defensive moves. But the matter is not over, Lao Lei is not a person who does not fight back, and at this time, Lao Lei is a little uncalm, and he is provoked by Gattuso. In the 55th minute of the second half, when Gattuso received the ball, Lao Lei kicked Gattuso down from behind, and the action was not big, but it hurt. Old Ray kicked Gattuso in the shin with a spike, which was an obvious move with a sense of revenge. At this moment, the Italian players were reluctant, and they surrounded Lao Lei in an uproar. Lao Lei is not afraid, he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, he looks at the sky with his eyes and raises his hands high. The Portuguese players naturally didn't want to see Lao Lei suffer, so they also surrounded him and pulled Lao Lei out.

Moreno did not hesitate to show Lao Lei a yellow card, separating the players from both sides. The head coaches on both sides were off the field at this time, and they also asked the disciples to calm down their anger and calm down, in case of a conflict, no one would be better. In fact, Gattuso's actions were instructed by Trapattoni, and he had also heard of Lao Lei's reputation in the Portuguese Super League. This is deliberately allowing Gattuso to provoke Lao Lei's anger and make him mistake. What he didn't expect was that Lao Lei's response was so direct and strong, and he did it with Gattuso, without showing weakness at all, and made his players lose their coolness, which meant killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

Lao Lei and Gattuso both fought for each other, which gradually affected the players on both sides, and the movements became bigger. Moreno had to step up law enforcement efforts to control the emotions of both sides. It wasn't until the 60-minute mark that the smell of gunpowder on the pitch gradually dissipated. Taking advantage of this time, Lao Lei hurriedly turned on the devil's flesh man. In fact, in the scramble with Gattuso just now, Lao Lei suffered a loss, after all, Gattuso had just been replaced in the second half, and his strength was still very sufficient.

After turning on the devil muscleman, Lao Lei was full of confidence, and said in his heart, can't you run, then run with me. Lao Lei immediately increased his running intensity and walked around with Gattuso. Following Lao Lei's side, Gattuso was a little puzzled, how could he feel that this person's speed and strength had increased. Following Trapattoni's instructions, Gattuso gritted his teeth and followed Ray closely.

Lao Lei looked at Gattuso behind him, and said in his heart, just follow it, I won't slow down. In this way, Lao Lei has been running at a relatively high and uniform speed, and at such a frequency, although Gattuso is still following, the distance between them has widened. This little space is enough for Lao Lei to complete the task of changing the rhythm of Portugal.

In the midfield, Lao Lei was re-energized, and Portugal's midfield transfer began to flow again. At this time, in the 10-minute game, the two sides returned to a dull rhythm of the game, on the one hand, Lao Lei, who attacked in tandem, was entangled, and on the other hand, he could not pass through the opponent's back line, adding up to not even a single shot. In the 67th minute, Lao Lei suddenly stepped forward again, and the continuous passes between the two of Rui Costa made the Italian defense a little overwhelmed. Eventually, Gattuso had to reach out again to bring down Lao Lei and Portugal won a free-kick around 30 yards from goal.

Figo and Rui Costa stood in front of the ball, ready to deal with the free-kick. The referee blew the whistle and Figo sent the free-kick to the back post. Costa at the back post fought for the first point, and he chose to do it back to the old Ray behind him.

Lao Lei stretched out his feet and stopped, and without waiting for Gattuso to pounce, he directly volleyed with his feet. The ball hit the ground, and Buffon, who was blocked by the crowd, had no time to save. The soccer ball grazed the post and flew into the goal. In the 68th minute, 2:1, Portugal came from behind and overtook Italy.

In the second half, Gattuso teased a belly of anger, and when he saw the ball scored, he didn't run.

Directly in front of Gattuso, he took off his jersey and threw it on the pitch. Clenched his hands into fists, tensing the muscles of his whole body, like a bodybuilder, showing off his tendon flesh.

Looking directly at Gattuso, the green tendons burst out, roaring and venting.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Thunder Horse, Thunder Horse! A beautiful volley helped the team complete the overtake. Ha Luha, the Italians who have shrunk down are coming out. In the battle for the top 8, we have the upper hand. “

Seeing that Gattuso was pulled away by Maldini, Lao Lei felt a little regretful in his heart, and he still wanted to get him down with this blow. He has been training with Gattuso for a long time, but he knows that Gattuso's temper is not ordinary.

He didn't have long to think before his teammates would pounce and overwhelm him.

At the Stadium in Daejeon, the Portuguese fans sang loudly. (To be continued......)
