With around seven or eight minutes of regulation time remaining in the first half, Oliveira will be hoping that the players on the pitch can settle down first, that there is plenty of time, and that there is a full second half left for Portugal to turn the tide and win. The more you rush to equalise, the easier it will be for the Italians, who are in high spirits and want you to do it.

But at this time, Lao Lei had a different idea from Oliveira. He felt that Italy would be the same as Oliveira had imagined in the next few minutes, wishing that Portugal would rush to equalize. But what if it's the last stage of the first half, wait until he thinks you've given up on the first half and leaves everything to the second half. Lao Lei felt that it would be a good opportunity for a surprise attack, and since he thought that this conceded goal had his own responsibility, then Lao Lei must want to get it back.

After the game restarted, Portugal controlled the football firmly according to Oliveira's arrangement, occasionally tried to launch an offensive, and did not force it when it encountered Italy's block, not attacking very resolutely, but returning the ball to be stable, firmly controlling the ball at his feet. Once football returns to the Portuguese half, Italy does not force it to come out and grab the ball. In the lead, they played their best football and played it with ease.

In these minutes, the game became dull again. The passion brought by Piero's goal was wiped out by a succession of back-to-back balls in the Portuguese midfield. Some of the commentators have even started to gag, talking to their partners about the funny things that happened at the World Cup, saving the fans who are watching the broadcast in front of the TV from falling asleep.

After the regular 45 minutes were over, referee Moreno gave two minutes of stoppage time. The first half of the game was dull, but it was still very fluid. There weren't a lot of pauses. Lao Lei carelessly controlled the passing rhythm of Portugal with Bento at the back, while also carefully observing the running and mental state of the Italian players.

At the time when the mighty tigers have snooze. And after a minute of stoppage time, Lao Lei finally saw the Italian tiger napping. Totti and Tomasi, who were in the middle, did not return to their positions very aggressively at this time, and there was a gap in the middle. With the help of the ball passed from Bento's feet, the honest old Lei suddenly accelerated in the past few minutes, burst forward in the middle, and rushed through that gap.

At this time in the system of dribbling training, it was shown to work. Because when practicing dribbling in the system, Lao Lei needs to dodge cactus-like thorns and see the direction of the road ahead at any time. So he needs to keep his chest straight all the time and keep his eyes on the front. It's a good habit to dribble the ball and you can see any changes on the pitch.

Tomasi was obviously too late to get back into position, so he had to fall to the ground and slide over. This action is somewhat of a tactical foul, and if Lao Lei is really tripped at this moment, the first half of the game will really be over, and there will be no time to organize another attack. Lao Lei clearly saw Tomasi's movements, his right foot pulled the football to the left, and the inside of his left foot turned outward. The ball rolls forward along the inside of the left foot. Lao Lei himself immediately jumped up and crossed over Tomasi's body. These few fried croquettes, because of the accumulated practice, Lao Lei has long been familiar with it.

At this moment, Italy's first line of defense was breached. The middle lane is wide open. Rui Costa also followed by Old Ray's side, ready to support at any time. Panucci had to press up, and he couldn't let Lao Lei break through unscrupulously. This is already the location of the hinterland. The Portuguese fans in the stands were already planning to get up. Toilet to the toilet, to eat to eat. Old Lei's surprise attack. Let them regain their feet, craned their necks to watch the situation on the field, hoping that their team could surprise them in the final stages of the first half.

Ray scored the ball towards Rui Costa next to him, and then continued to run forward, playing a typical one-two. At this time, it was Nesta again, who had anticipated Ray's plan in advance and waited for Rui Costa's passing line first. Lao Lei gritted his teeth, accelerated his feet again, and took the first step and stuck in front of Nesta. Nesta's foot was forced out behind him, and as soon as Rui Costa's pass touched, the ball jumped and Panucci was already rushing over. Old Ray faced Panucci in front of him, Nesta in the back, and the football jumped in the air in front of him.

There are only two ways to break through the defense of a team like Italy, either by relying on the ability of a strong individual or team to play a brilliant attack, or by coming up with some unexpected and imaginative ideas to catch him off guard, which is a flash of inspiration in one word.

Since he had the idea of not looking at people's passes, Lao Lei will be very careful to understand and memorize the team's tactical coordination and changes, so that even if he can't see the specific situation on the field, he can also have a general image of the position and running of some local teammates in his mind. After coming to the national team, Lao Lei has never used not to look at people to pass the ball, after all, not to say that he has just arrived, even if he was in the national team before, there is not necessarily a good tacit understanding between teammates. But even so, Lao Lei will habitually memorize some commonly used coordination and running positions in his mind.

At this time, Lao Lei's mind suddenly came up with the idea of not looking at the pass, even if it failed, Italy would not have time to organize a counterattack, and the risk was not great. He couldn't see what was going on behind him, but he felt that Figo should have run to the left side of the penalty area by this time, waiting for the pass. The Italian defense should be trying to counter offside, and as soon as they pass back to Rui Costa, they will collectively press forward to guard against Rui Costa's long pass.

Old Ray pressed against Nesta behind him, stretched out his right foot, and hooked directly to the left back side before Panucci's foot reached over. The ball flew over the heads of Old Ray and Nesta towards the penalty area. This obviously caught the Italian defense off guard, this was simply a juggling pass, they didn't expect Lao Lei, a young player, to dare to play this trick on the stage of the World Cup, and he played it well. The football flew over the heads of the entire Italian defence with the exclamations of the fans at the scene. The height is not very high, and anyone who jumps can block this pass. But their nerve reflexes haven't reacted so quickly.

Although Figo was also a little surprised, he didn't know how Lao Lei saw that he was here. And so boldly passed on. But the superstar's mental quality made him react quickly, and this was a great opportunity. For Figo, who has not scored a goal in the World Cup so far, it was a good moment to open his goal account. You must know that there is a lot of pressure and doubts on his back, as the absolute leader of Portugal, he only has a shot on the post when he played Poland, no matter what.

Figo, who was facing the goal, was one step ahead of the Italian defender with his back to the goal, although the Italian player held his hand high and signaled that Figo was offside. But the linesman was unmoved, and the ball Figo was rushed out of the Italian defenders. There was absolutely no offside.

Figo looked at the football in the air, adjusting his pace and position, and at this time in front of him was only Buffon, the world's first goalkeeper. Buffon spread his hands, his center of gravity lowered, and was ready to make a save. Figo faced the incoming ball, chose the most manly way of shooting, volleyed hard, and the football had almost no choice, flying towards the goal like a cannonball.

Figo's ball hit the top corner. Buffon did his best to raise his hands to block Figo's shot. But the distance is too close, Figo's ball speed is too fast, and the angle is also tricky. The ball flew over Buffon's hands. The ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the goal, causing the frame to tremble violently with such force that the force of the ball made the frame vibrate. 1:1。 In the final stages of first-half stoppage time, Portugal relied on an imaginative assist from Ray and Figo's brilliant volley. The equaliser was made.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Figo, Luis Figo!! Leaders when they need him most. Finally stand up! A perfect shot that no one can stop! Of course, we can't forget Remaa's whimsical assists, and I think everyone is curious about how Remaa saw Figo, and does he have eyes in the back of his head?!!!! Although we have seen such a performance in the Portuguese Super League more than once, now it is the first time that Reima has brought his stunt to the stage of the World Cup. The world is amazed!! This young man is the future of Portugal! The Portuguese narrator was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his position, picked up the microphone and shouted loudly. Of course, he knew how important the goal was for Portugal, and so did the Portuguese fans, who were excited to hug everyone around them in the stands, and to score such an important goal, or in such a beautiful way. They couldn't have come up with more demanding, higher demands.

Oliveira, who was on the sidelines, jumped up excitedly and waved his fists in celebration. Now the plan he just thought about in the second half could be thrown away and rearranged, and Portugal regained the lost initiative. The old coach Trapattoni stood calmly on the sidelines, with his hands on his chest, and did not have very strong mood swings. He has gone through wind and rain, and he has seen a lot of winds and waves, and such things are no longer strange. He is now looking at the old Ray who is being hugged and celebrated by Figo on the field with interest, and sighs that he is really a promising little guy.

Maybe everyone is lamenting Lao Lei's passing, but Trapattoni is lamenting the timing of Lao Lei's choice to step forward, if it was earlier, Lao Lei may not have the opportunity to play without looking at people's passes. This is a player who plays with his brain, Trapattoni said in his mind.

On the field, Figo hugged Lao Lei's head tightly and shouted something. But Lao Lei is not in the mood to listen to it at all, what is the situation, I was forcibly hugged? Even though he has been living in Portugal for almost a year, Lao Lei still can't stand the enthusiasm of Westerners.

At the end of the celebration, as soon as the Italian team sent the ball, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The fans who were just about to go to the toilet ran to the toilet in a hurry, unable to hold back.

At the end of the game, the expressions of the players on both sides were significantly different from those of two minutes ago. The Italian players, who were originally relaxed, were a little annoyed, while the Portuguese players changed from helplessness to excitement. Although the score was 1:1, the mental state was completely different.

The first half was a dull game, but there were two brilliant goals. The two sides also need to decide the last eight spots in the second half. (To be continued......)
