At this time, Portugal and the Netherlands on the field formed a stalemate, and neither side could limit anyone's attack. However, it is not easy for the attacks of both sides to break through the opponent's defense, forming a situation where they should not go up and down. As long as either side takes the initiative to strengthen the offensive firepower, they can pierce this layer of window paper and break the deadlock.

However, strengthening the offensive firepower corresponds to the possibility of giving the opponent the opportunity to counterattack. In the face of such a situation, the head coaches of both sides tacitly maintained such a situation, and neither took the lead in making any changes. It seems that no one will take the initiative to change unless it is inevitable. In such a situation, it is the stars of both sides that decide the game again. In the absence of tactical changes, the individual brilliance of the stars in the attacking position becomes a crucial point. For big scenes, you have to watch the performance of superstars!

Lao Lei also has his own clear understanding of this, in the face of an opponent like the Netherlands, he can't come hard, he can only be patient and slowly figure it out. At this point in the semi-finals of this European Championship, the two sides have no secrets from each other. The two sides are now swinging their horses, and they can only fight openly, and everything has been put on the table.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Seedorf received a pass from Cocu, and after getting rid of it laterally in a row, it was directly a long-range shot. This shot did not hit the power when Lao Lei was pressing, and was easily picked up by Ricardo, and it was Portugal's turn to control the ball. After Lao Lei received the ball from Ricardo's hand, he did not immediately attack again. Instead, it slowly organizes the transmission of the ball, controlling the rhythm and the situation. Dutch's attacking style. It's not the kind of slow and leisurely characteristic in their bones, their offense is fast. It's a disease. Therefore, even if the scene is in a stalemate, except for the time of the kick, the time it takes them to really launch the offensive and complete the shot is still much shorter than that of Portugal.

For such characteristics of the Netherlands, Lao Lei has long been remembered in his heart. According to this, Lao Lei wants to play slow and fast in this game. Disrupt the rhythm of the Netherlands. Because unlike the Netherlands, Portugal, under the organization of Lao Lei, can play two completely different styles of football, both fast and slow. And this time, in order to disrupt or disrupt the rhythm of the Netherlands, Lao Lei decided to use a slow pace to deal with the passionate Netherlands.

Under the organization of Lao Lei, Portugal kept testing the Dutch defense. After encountering obstruction. is not in a hurry, but chooses to pass back, and all of them are mainly to stabilize the ball under their feet. In the constant pulling and probing, Lao Lei carefully observed the loopholes in the Dutch formation. Opportunities that may arise. For him, against opponents like the Netherlands, be patient and slowly dismember them. The idea of eating them in one bite is irrational. At least with Portugal's current strength, they can't do that.

Although such a strategy. It will make the situation on the court look a little dull, and it will not reach the exciting situation of the offensive battle expected by the outside world before the game. However, these people's expectations have a half-dime relationship with Lao Lei. Between a good spectacle and a victory, Ray is the same as Mourinho and will undoubtedly choose the latter.

However, the pace on the field is not slow if you want to. The Dutch team was not so generous, giving up the control of the rhythm to each other. When Portugal tried to slow down the tempo with possession, the Dutch midfield, especially the midfield, began to step up and wanted to force Portugal to speed up. As Portugal's undisputed beat controller, Lao Lei was even surrounded by Dutch players, especially Davies, who put a lot of pressure on Lao Lei.

In such a situation, fortunately, it was the spiritual attribute that Lao Lei had just opened that played a role. In the constant pursuit and interception of the Dutch players, Lao Lei seemed very calm. In terms of passing and handling the ball, the table Xiàn showed a more accurate and faster level, and did not let the Dutch pressing have the effect it should have. During this period, the game was more like a passing show by Lao Lei, who used superhuman passing accuracy and speed to defuse the Dutch pressing. It's very technical, but it's the most boring for the fans. They just watched the football thump and then their eyes couldn't help but want to close.

"By now in the first half, 20 minutes have passed, and the score on the field is still 0:0. It was a bit dreary, a far cry from the excitement that people had hoped for before the game. Both sides seemed to have gone a little too cautious, and apart from a couple of dangerous attacks, we barely saw any good stuff. This rhythm of the game is like a lullaby, and I hope that the audience in front of the TV will not be made drowsy now. "There was a narrator who was listlessly explaining, and I almost yawned.

Compared with the boredom of the fans, this situation is what Lao Lei is happy to see. After his efforts to control zhì, the rhythm of the game was suppressed very slowly, which was the rhythm of Portugal, not the Netherlands. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Lao Lei came to the midfield again and received a pass from Kostiani. Davies was already pressing up ahead, and his tireless running and ferocious defending were the most important part of the Dutch midfield defence. As always, the Dutch midfield defender was also assigned to guard against Lao Lei.

If you follow the rhythm of the first 20 minutes, people will inertly think that Lao Lei should pass back at this time. But this is also the effect that Lao Lei wants to achieve, at this time, he began to start with the ball suddenly. And that's a signal for the rest of Portugal's players, a signal to attack. Portugal's attacking players up front began to run up suddenly. It was a change in pace, a game that had been dull, and at this time it was suddenly a short burst and picked up speed.

In this regard, the Dutch players, although experienced, reacted quickly. But because of the inertia of thinking, they are always half a beat slower than the Portuguese players. Davis is like this, although with his super physique, he forcibly followed. But after all, it was half a beat slower, and although Lao Lei couldn't fully start, he could also use his body to prevent Davis's interference.

However, Davis, who is known for his fierce defense, did not make Lao Lei too comfortable. The gradual strengthening of physical contact and some small movements also made Lao Lei very sad. At this time, Seedorf also rushed over, wanting to unite with Davis to cut off the football at the feet of Lao Lei. At this time, Lao Lei's right foot suddenly rubbed, rubbed the football up, and flew diagonally forward.

At the same time, Deco suddenly began to turn and thrust forward. And Lao Lei's pass was just past the top of Cocu, so he didn't have any way to make this pass. As soon as Deco got the ball, he started pulling to the wings. After a certain distance, he met Van Bronckhorst. At this point, he handed the football to Gomez, who was pulled to the top of the box, and played a one-two with him.

After receiving Gomez's return pass, Deco began to burst along the baseline towards the six-yard box. Soon, however, he met the seasoned Stam. Stam compresses his space and doesn't choose to go on a rash foot, and he has a lot of experience. At this time, Portugal's attack was once again blocked. In desperation, Deco had no choice but to knock the football back to Figo on the wing.

Figo didn't stop, and passed the ball directly to the middle of the edge of the penalty area, where Lao Lei stepped in and put it in place. However, at this point, he was already firmly anchored by Davies, and it didn't look like a good chance, which would be another successful defense for the Netherlands. Under Davis's strong interference, Lao Lei had to take the ball with his back. At this time, Seedorf also came over again, and it seemed that Lao Lei had to pass back again.

But at times like these, it's also when stars need to shine. At this time, Lao Lei stepped on the football with his right foot, and suddenly pulled back and flicked. At this time, the height advantage of old Ray is almost 20 centimeters taller than Davis, which is reflected. His long legs, long enough at this point, were long enough to reach behind Davis. Lao Lei's sudden pull of the ball pulled the football behind Davis's side, and then allowed the football to roll behind Davis and come to Davis's left back.

Immediately after, Lao Lei suddenly exerted his strength, forcibly turned around, and stretched out his left hand, squeezing Davis behind him. This off-ball turn allows players to fully burst their full explosiveness without having to worry about ball control. And Lao Lei's sudden start, which also hit Davis unexpectedly, at the front of the big penalty area, he suddenly shook him off.

After turning, Lao Lei took the ball straight into the Dutch penalty area. A two-over-one-wall combination with Gomez again allowed Lao Lei to break directly into the Dutch penalty area with the ball. In the face of Stam's close defense, Lao Lei stopped the ball in a volley, and he stopped it in a row. When the ball is stopped, it opens up a space where you can pass the ball and shoot at the goal. In any passing or shooting technique, a toe poke is the fastest and least noticeable to the opponent.

At this time, Lao Lei is like this, after temporarily shaking off the space and angle, his left heel is a stab at the football, and the football is drilled into the lower left corner of the goal. This time, Van der Sar clearly lacked enough preparation for this. By the time he reacted to the sideways, it was too late, and the ball was grazing the post and rolling into the goal. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Lao Lei once again relied on his individual ability to help Portugal break the deadlock.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Thunderhorse! Reima!! It was Reima again, who stood up and broke the deadlock with his personal ability. It's a magician-like show!! Portuguese fans can rest assured that their victory is still in hot form. It was a wonderful time, turning around and pulling the ball over! Godzilla picked up the magic wand!! Bring up the magic hat!! ”

The cheers on the pitch at Alvalad Stadium, the 1-0 lead, did not make Old Ray let his guard down. The smooth flow of this attack was not the overall tactical effect. Next time, will he still be so smooth, he's not sure.

And he knows that what comes down is the real difference between winning the game.

Withstand the crazy comeback of the Netherlands! (To be continued......)
