Chapter 243: The dark tide after the equalization

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOAL!!! Nice arc! Thunderhorse! It's Reimama again!! When the team needed heroes, he stepped up! This arc is too tricky. James didn't have anything to do, it was a world-class direct free-kick! He used the free-kick stunt of the German football emperor to give the English a heavy blow. Good job! Reima!! ”

After a few seconds of silence, the fans in England erupted into a shrill boo like thunder of the old thunder. So much so that the boos were muffled by the cheers of the Portuguese fans. The strong men in England, blushing, kept making insulting gestures to Lao Lei in the field, cursing something. The boos, scolding, and these indecent gestures did not spoil Lao Lei's celebration at all. In the excited embrace of his teammates, Lao Lei smiled disdainfully, and pointed his right hand directly at the stands of England fans, and the provocation was self-evident.

"Portugal's new super midfielder is truly amazing. Defense, offense, organization, he can do it all. When the team is in danger, he always stands up. Create great attacking opportunities, or step up and score points yourself, but on the defensive end, tireless running and ferocious and accurate pressing are a huge headache for opposing attacking players. The last midfielder who could do so well in defense and attack was the Argentine Fernando Redondo. I couldn't wait for his future. In world football, there is a place for him.

Now that the scoreline is equalised, we'll see what England can do to fight back. Before that, they fought back several times. All of them posed a threat to the Portuguese goal. Now, without a score lead. England's counter-attack is bound to be less reassuring and easy. Let's see what England can do. I hope that the Swedes will not make the same old mistake of conservatism. Otherwise, it will ruin the excitement of the fans. This war has just entered its climax. A neutral commentator, after praising Lao Lei, began to analyze the situation on the field.

I have to say that this commentator is still very level, at least he knows Erikson's habits very well. After Portugal's equaliser, Eriksen was unhappy, but he still demanded that England maintain defensive tactics. And no more proactive tactics were adopted. On the Portuguese side, after the equalizer, it will also be somewhat restrained, and the attacking intensity will be slightly weakened, and it is impossible to continue to attack so strongly, so that England can play a counterattack comfortably. Several counterattacks by England really scared the whole Portuguese team into a cold sweat, and England's frontcourt configuration is really suitable for playing defensive counter-attacks.

After the restart. The situation of the scene has entered a stalemate, and both sides have to face more positional battles. In positional warfare, Portugal, which had a more obvious technological advantage, had the upper hand. The offensive means of the English side. It's really a little rough, and it's just a few tricks to use. Although in terms of high-altitude balls. Portugal's defense is still a little frightened of England. But after getting used to it. It is not so easy for England's high-altitude ball attack to achieve any real effect.

Meantime. Old Ray's attack on Gerrard's frontal and backward insertion was very successful. So far in the game, Liverpool's soul midfielder has yet to have a chance to show his own stunt to hit the goal. In terms of passing the ball, Lao Lei also used his own prediction to firmly block Gerrard's passing route. Judging from the previous matches, Gerrard's watch was extremely bleak and there was no sparkle.

Eriksen's problem is still unsolvable. In addition to the defensive arrangement against Lao Lei, Shuangde still can't form a combined force of 1 plus 1 greater than 2 on the court. Given this situation, 95 per cent of England's attacks so far have come from two flanks.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Paul Scholes tried again with a long pass and found Wayne Rooney, who was pulling out of the box. However, Rooney did not receive the ball smoothly, and Ray and Andrade joined in time. The two of them were like sandwiches, sandwiching Rooney in the middle, preventing him from receiving the football. After landing, Rooney pounced on the old ray very aggressively.

In the face of Rooney, Lao Lei did not play the ball quickly. Instead, he used his body against him, and kept using his skillful ball control skills to dodge and move, not giving Rooney a chance to stretch his foot and break the ball. It looked like he was playing with Rooney, but it was. Such a situation has attracted a burst of cheers from Portuguese fans. When Rooney scored, the scene of provocation against Lao Lei was still very deeply engraved in their minds. For this somewhat arrogant little fat man, the perception of Portuguese fans is not very good.

It wasn't until Gerrard couldn't stand it anymore and pounced that Old Ray handed over the football. Looking at Rooney, who was panting and blushing on the side, Lao Lei suddenly made a disdainful expression at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time shook his head, indicating that you just can't. Then, regardless of Rooney's ugly face, he turned and ran straight forward and began to organize the Portuguese attack. The 19-year-old England No. 9, England's new golden boy, who has scored five goals so far and set a record for the youngest goalscorer in a European Championship finals, is almost about to burst into flames when he looks at the back of Lao Lei.

Now Rooney is high-spirited, quite a bit of a god, my second arrogant. The praise of England fans and the media made him fluttering. While his appearance deserves all these praises, there is no doubt that his mentality is a little too vain right now. So far in this match, his mentality has been a bit shaky, and he is more irritable than usual. Lao Lei's series of non-stop provocations had an effect, and this hot-tempered little fat man already hated him to the extreme.

For this result, Lao Lei is very satisfied. You must know what he said to Rooney before, but it was not just talking. In this match, he has decided to impress Wayne Rooney. For these small actions on the court, although it is not an upright move, Lao Lei has never been disgusted. There is an old Chinese saying that the big husband is not informal.

It was Portugal's turn to attack, and the old Retunguò organised a pass to slow down the pace of the game. It is passed through the ground and progressed layer by layer. This is a well-founded offense and defense. When holding the ball steadily, you can have a certain defense against England's counterattack. Don't let them play a successful counterattack lightly. And England's conservative tactics made them happily give up the players, making Lao Lei's goal easily achieved.

Portugal soon pressed England's entire line to 30 metres from their own goal. England's midfielder, although he kept running actively, tried to tear apart Portugal's pass, and directly broke the ball to form a counterattack. However, Lao Lei's flexible running position and fast passing made it very difficult for them to achieve this purpose. In midfield. Basically, a situation was formed in which the Portuguese players slipped away and the English players ran.

It's a tactic that takes the defender's patience and numbs their nerves, like a soft knife that has already penetrated you by the time you really feel the pain. After slowing down the tempo for a few minutes, Lao Lei You suddenly sped it up. The moment after running to catch the ball, Gerrard did not immediately follow, taking advantage of this time period, Lao Lei suddenly turned around and dribbled forward.

After two wall combinations with Deco and Figo in a row, Lao Lei went directly to the front of the England penalty area. At the same time, Deco and other frontcourt offensive personnel. Immediately a forward insertion, such a sudden multi-point forward insert combined with a sudden acceleration of the offensive tempo, so that the England defense was caught off guard for a while. Facing Campbell, Lao Ray took a trip to the ball. Accelerate directly, and you have to eat him raw. And because of the danger of the current position, and the performance of Lao Lei's free kick just now. This made the always resolute Campbell dare not dare to venture for a while. Sometimes, however, it's just a momentary hesitation. It's enough to make you miss all the opportunities.

Campbell was like that, this momentary hesitation. Let Lao Lei directly enter the forbidden area. At this moment, no matter how decisive Campbell is, he doesn't dare to take the liberty of stepping down. He could only stick to Lao Lei firmly and try to block Lao Lei's inside cut and passing route. Campbell's experience is still very sophisticated, basically blocking all possible routes and ways of handling the ball for Lao Lei.

At this time, Lao Lei stepped on the football and provoked the football. Then leaning on Campbell, he directly hooked the ball to the top of the penalty area with a hook that did not look at people. There's Deco in front of you, waiting. However, due to the lack of speed of the pass, by the time Deco received the ball, he was basically firmly attached to Lampard and could not shoot directly.

He stopped directly in the air and parked the football to Figo at the top of the penalty area. Lao Lei's pass, although it failed to allow Deco to shoot directly, also led to the overall defense of England. In the midst of this chaotic situation, Figo happened to be left unattended. The fake shot was a real buckle, and after Gerrard's tackle was blocked, it was directly a powerful volley. England's goalkeeper James has once again made a contribution, although his form has not been reassuring, and there have been many bizarre mistakes in his career. So far, though, his watch has pleased England fans and Eriksen.

This time, the attack that surprised the English fans in a cold sweat made Lao Lei very satisfied. This proves that the current strategy is successful. In the face of England's energetic bull, using such dexterity and brains is the most effective way. Fight it hard, or worry about whether its sharp horns will stab you. Now Portugal, like a matador, needs patience to dismember England.

However, in a short period of time, in terms of scoring, although it did not achieve results. But on the other hand, Lao Lei has achieved results.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Lao Lei fell in the backfield, covering his feet and "howling". And beside him, standing was Rooney, whose eyes were full of surprise.

With it, the referee's whistle sounded. Players from both sides also gathered here.

Immediately after, Rooney blushed and roared at the old thunder on the ground. and tried to pull Lao Lei's action, which detonated the anger of Portuguese fans at the Stadium of Light.

A yellow card is still not satisfactory to the Portuguese side.

Piercing boos rushed towards Rooney.

Lao Lei, after receiving a short "treatment" from the team doctor, walked into the court with a slightly uncomfortable look.

Receiving applause and cheers from the Portuguese fans.

and the gaze of Rooney's eyes that can already breathe fire. (To be continued......)
