229th Victory over Iran (3)
Reality has made Iranian players even more combative.
"Cheer up, guys!!"
Seeing the state of the players, Iranian coach Ivankovic also understood, in the face of a 2:0 score, this wise old man did not have much hope for the game, but the game was only halfway through, Iran still had a chance, and he couldn't just give up.
Then give it a go!!
I thought a little too much before, but I was a little constrained, Iran, a unique country, made him choose to be conservative, but if conservative still gets the same big loss, the team will face double pressure, losing is not terrible, but in the whole process, there is no trace of progress.
Ivankovic had no choice but to do so, he had no other way. "It's not over yet, we still have a chance!"
Ivankovic continued: "They are not invincible, although we are two goals behind, there is hope. I hope you can make one last ditch effort, think about it, if you can make a shocking comeback in the second half, then every one of you will be a hero, and this game will be spread all over the world, and then you will be famous, boys, cheer up! For yourself, and for the honor of the country! ”
Ivankovic's words are very practical, he is right, now Iran is two goals behind, if they can win the game, or even tie the score, I am afraid that Iran will immediately become the focus of all the media, the hero of the country.
They will soon be given the title of 'super dark horse'.
Perhaps, the Portuguese team will also be flattened for nothing. This match will be the talk of the talk of fans for many years.
Such a prospect gave the Iranian players a slight boost to morale, after all, the game is not over yet. Like Ivankovic said, they still have a chance, don't they?
It's not impossible to get over two goals behind!
After a few more words of encouragement, Ivankovic began to plan his tactics for the second half.
There's nothing too complicated about tactics, it's all about attacking.
If they want to equalize, Iran can only attack in a big way anyway, because they rely on defense alone. It's almost impossible to score three goals in 45 minutes, let alone so. Portugal's manager, Scolari, is no fool!
If Iran counterattacks and scores one, Portugal will definitely strengthen its attack, and the opponent will attack again, and Iran should have a chance. Besides, the opponent's light enemy relaxation can also be exploited. The key is still the first goal of the Iranian team, it must be early, if it is early, a miracle is possible!
Of course, Yiqiē's plan is almost a dream!!
However, it is better to have a dream on the court than to accept defeat and survive on the field!
Ivankovic was tirelessly talking about tactics, and the players listened attentively.
"When defending, pay attention to moving the formation back, not giving the opponent a chance to cooperate, and use the body to seal the angle of the shot. Be sure to pay attention to the opponent's number nine, you have already seen it in the first half. This brunette has a lot of quality and he is the best star in Portugal. After laying out the offensive tactics, Ivankovic added to the defense.
After the first half of the game, there were no Iranian players to question Jonker's personal ability, and they all nodded tacitly in the face of the manager's instructions.
"Okay, that's all, remember that even if we lose, we have to play with the momentum of the team, this is a World Cup game, we must not let the Portuguese be arrogant, and we must not let your family and country down!!" In the end, Ivankovic said again with a morale boost
.
Nothing happened in Portugal's dressing room, and when coach Scolari returned to the dressing room, he only stressed the need to pay more attention to the defense at the beginning of the second half and put Jonk in front of the team to intimidate Iran.
Scolari felt that this arrangement was enough, after all, Portugal now have a two-goal lead, and even if he concedes a goal, he has time to make adjustments on the spot.
Jonker was happy with the set-up because he didn't have to be involved in defense.
As an offensive player, Jonker only likes to attack, and Scolari gives him all attacking tasks, which is what Jonk wants to see, after all, he has a small concept of money, and he still loves to play football.
Now he's making enough money and it's more about enjoying football on the pitch.
However, if the Portuguese team has a crisis, he will still defend, after all, this is a World Cup game, and he still yearns for the Hercules Cup, which is the world's highest honor football trophy.
Towards the end of the break, Scolari stood at the door of the dressing room and reminded the players not to relax too much and to concentrate
.
The half-time break passed quickly, and the players from both teams finally returned to the pitch amid the anticipation of the fans in the audience.
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
As Scolari judged, the Iranian team launched a fierce offensive in the opening game!
In order to equalize, they had to attack.
At this time, they almost completely abandoned the defense, and almost all 11 people in the field except the goalkeeper participated in the attack, so that the formation of the Iranian team was very high, and Jonk had to stand behind the halfway line, otherwise his teammates passed the ball to him, which was offside.
Under this offensive, the Portuguese defence looks precarious.
Not to mention that the Iranian team completely changed a team in the second half, like the warriors of the ancient Persian Empire, and there seemed to be a bloodthirsty light in their eyes.
Crazy!
Don't underestimate the Iranian team's offense, this kind of Asian football integrated into the European style, the offensive ability is by no means worse than the traditional European strong team, this is an attack that sacrifices defensive ability, the Iranian team has already fought hard!
So, in the first five minutes of the second half, Jonk didn't receive a single pass, and the football kept flying around the Portuguese half.
At the beginning, Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo and Jonk were all standing near the halfway line.
A minute later. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his own penalty area, and three minutes later, Figo also returned to his own box. Jonk was the only one left in the frontcourt.
In fact, this is a very good opportunity for Jonker, as long as the ball can be passed to his feet, it will definitely pose a threat to the Iranian goal.
However, football just can't be passed at all!!
Who would have thought the game would turn out like this at half-time?
The crazy Iranians completely suppressed the Portuguese team, that's right. There is no dazzle, and the white jersey is suppressing the dark red jersey.
In fact, the Portuguese team is still underestimated and very relaxed. Scolari's words are still in the ears, but it will not be easy for the Portuguese team, which has been suppressed, to recover.
Iran's attack caused the Portuguese to panic a bit, as they had a smooth ride in the first half and are now in a complete 180° comeback.
Dick Silk's counterattack. Will it be staged at the World Cup?
Dark horses were born at the same time. Don't say such tempting words, anyway, compared to the first half of the game, it is much more enjoyable to watch now, and the one-sided game will be boring if you watch too much.
Of course, this is all for the senses of neutral fans, those Chinese fans and Portuguese fans are very anxious, they want to see a big victory in the suppression, the less thrilling the better!
Outcome. In the 53rd minute of the game, Iran scored.
It was a strong positional advance. Iran outside the Portugal penalty area. A back and forth pass, and after a few times, the ball was passed to the left flank.
On the left side of the Timurian shifted the ball to the middle, and then Madavecchia in the middle hoisted the ball high into the penalty area, and Hashmian grabbed the spot and headed it to the captain of the team, Karimi, who received the ball and turned and volleyed!
Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo was unresponsive to the close-range shot, and the ball flew straight into the net, with Iran captain Karimi pulling a goal back at crucial moments.
The goal seemed to bring back the fighting spirit of the Iranian players.
After the restart, Iran's attack was even more violent. Seeing this situation, Scola Liren also stood on the sidelines a little anxiously, directing the players to defend, if it wasn't a good opportunity to counterattack, I'm afraid Jonk would also go back to defend.
Another attack by the Iranian team.
Hashmian got his chance from outside the box, received a pass from a team-mate on the run, and then changed direction to get rid of Carvalho and hit the ball straight into the far corner, sending the crowd in amazement.
Ricardo made a flying save and got the ball off the line.
Seeing this scene, Jonk looked forward to the next Iranian corner, Ricardo can pick up the ball with both hands, then the next will definitely be his chance.
Unfortunately, the corner was headed off the pitch by an Iranian player.
Portugal were given a respite and Iran used the time to get back in place.
It was a pity that he missed the best time to counterattack, but he still returned to the backcourt and directed the team to play a steady push to regain momentum.
In the game, momentum is very important.
Teams that tend to have momentum are able to play stronger and beat stronger opponents.
In this disadvantageous situation, Jonk wants to use a wave of advancement to pull back the team's momentum, and a steady attack can often make the players stabilize the mood of the game and get back to form.
Under the command of Jonker, Portugal's advance was very steady, and after the football passed several times in the Portuguese backfield, he saw that the frontcourt players ran to their positions, and Deco, who was dragging behind, suddenly made a diagonal pass, which opened the curtain of the Portuguese team's attack.
At the same moment, Jonk, who had just finished directing the team's attack, also ran over the middle line, he ran to the position near the penalty line, and did not rush to ask his teammates for the ball, just ran around there, constantly fighting for positions with the Iranian players who defended him closely.
The Iranian players defended very tightly against Jonker, which made it seem like he was fighting for a header when he was fighting for position, but in reality, the ball had only just crossed the halfway point.
After a few passes, the ball was handed to Cristiano Ronaldo on the left wing, and he made a one-two with the inserted Costinha before passing the ball diagonally to Jonker. In fact, Jonker didn't run out of position at all, but now everyone in the Portuguese team knows that Jonker is not afraid of passing the ball big, and the whole team knows Jonker's ability very well, everyone knows their pass, and Jonk will definitely be able to catch it.
Really. Jonk took a gossip stride, and before the Iranian player who had been truncated in the middle could react, he stepped forward to receive the pass. After that, he made a simple turn and shook off the Iranian players behind him, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the penalty area, and subconsciously made a big volley pose.
"Hercules bangs!?"
At the same time, Huang Jianxin of Huaxia CCTV Sports Station shouted excitedly, but in fact, Jonk just used this action to shake off another Iranian team player.
"He's scaring people! Haha, there's a good show to watch. He's still moving on."
The Iranian player who was shaken away was none other than midfielder Tamurian, and he was a little unwilling to see himself shaken by such an action. He also yelled at his teammates, "Stop him!!" ”
As a result, two Iranian players immediately surrounded Jonker.
This time, Jonk made another big volley, which left one of the Iranian players. Jumped directly on the spot. The other person subconsciously turned around and wanted to block the ball with his body, but Jonk glanced at the penalty area and saw that there was no chance, so he passed the ball to Deco who was inserted.
Deco got his chance!
At this time, Deco was unguarded, but he still didn't shoot, after all, he hadn't crossed the penalty area line yet, and his shooting efficiency was really not high. I didn't want to waste the team's chances, so. When the Iranian player stepped forward, he kicked the ball back to Jonker.
After receiving the ball, Jonk had to face Taymurian again, and the Iranian midfielder had been pestering him since the second half, and Jonk was a little tired of watching.
This time, Jonk slid the ball to the left and tried to change direction and bounce it past the opponent.
But Temurian was not fooled, he followed Jonker, so Jonk could only shake him off with a small acceleration, and then, on the line of the penalty area, two more Iranian players surrounded him.
This situation made Jonk a little annoyed.
The Iranian team has obviously strengthened their defense against him, and I am afraid that the opposing head coach emphasized his defense at halftime, and every time Jonk gets the ball, there must be three players in the circle, which makes people frustrated.
However, this time Jonker didn't want to pass the ball because he was in the middle of the box line and he would have space to shoot no matter which direction he dribbled the ball in.
Now, he really wants to score.
So, under the pressure of the three, Jonk went directly to the right, and the three Iranian players immediately followed.
In the dribble, Jonk hurriedly ran to the right side, and he continued to use the bicycle blessed by Xuan Gong, so that the Iranian players did not know where the ball was, and then, a sudden pullback, directly shook off the two Iranian players, leaving only Taimurian who was following behind.
At this time, the corners of Jonker's mouth twitched, and the corner of his eye aimed at the direction of the goal, and directly waved his right leg.
"Still trying to bluff me?" Seeing Jonker's action, Tai Murian naturally said a word in his mouth, but he was not moved at all.
So, Jonker kicked the bottom of the ball.
"Knock knock!"
Hercules' war drums had been beaten, and under everyone's gaze, the football almost crossed the sky in a straight line and rushed straight into the top left corner of the Iranian goal.
"This time it's true."
Looking at the stunned expressions of the Iranian players in front of him, Jonk reminded him kindly.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!”
"The ball is in! Hercules bang! I am fortunate to be on the stage of the World Cup, witnessing today's wonderful goals, only him in the world, only Jonke, can make such a wonderful goal, yes, he is Hercules, Hercules is the favorite star of our Chinese fans! ”
"Jonker helped Portugal score another goal and opened the gap again!"
"Can there be a bold guess about the second goal in the second game of this world, and whether Jonk can score in every game of this World Cup in which he participated?"
"With the efficiency of Jonker's performance at Chelsea last season, we have reason to believe that anything is possible, and it is still very likely!"
"Please forgive me for a lot of nonsense, I'm so excited, at this moment I want to say one more thing, thank God, for letting a person like Jonker have half of the Chinese blood, his mother is a Huaxia person, which makes Jonk have black hair, and also give birth to a pair of deep black eyes, a qiē a qiē. Isn't it comforting the Chinese fans who have been depressed for many years? Let us all say thank you, the World Cup seems to be much closer to the Chinese fans because of Jonker's deposit. That's enough! ”
Huang Jianxin did not repeat the process of scoring a goal, but was very excited, like a cannon, and shouted some heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart.
With Huang Jianxin's explanation, all Chinese fans were excited, and they silently said thank you in their hearts!
The Portuguese fans at the scene were extremely excited, singing and dancing, turning the scene into a sea of joy.
And it wasn't just because of Jonker's goal. It was even more because of this goal that the score became 3:1, that is, the Portuguese team was 2 goals ahead.
If you say when the Iranian team recovered a goal just now. If there is still suspense in the game, then with Jonk's goal, the last hope of the Iranian team has also been extinguished.
Both in terms of team morale and on the field. None of them had any hope of equalising the score.
There is no suspense. Portugal wins!
Everyone knew the result, even the head coach of the Iranian team, Ivankovic, had to admit it, at this time the big screen pointed the camera at the old coach, only to see him staring blankly at the celebration of the Portuguese players on the field, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ivankovic can't help but lose, and it's not just because of the loss.
For this contest with Portugal, he prepared for a long time before the game, if he could draw against Portugal. If you manage to get 1 point, then Iran will not be at the bottom of the group. The first one has already been lost, and now it is lost again.
However, this qiē preparation seemed to have lost its effect when it came to the playing field.
In the face of the current Portuguese team, the Iranian team is at a disadvantage both in defense and attack.
When Portugal attacked, all their players were involved in the defense, or did they let Portugal score a lot of goals, how can they play such a game?
Not to mention that the number of yellow cards in the Iranian team has exceeded half, the strength of the two teams is not on the same level at all, and the gap is too big.
"Who can beat this Portuguese team?"
Ivankovic in the coach's box was thinking about this problem, it seems that the Iranian team has personally opened the mysterious Pandora's box for this Portuguese team that combines the old and the new!
Brazil and Germany can't bargain when they meet such a Portuguese team!
In any case, the game is not over yet, and even if the Iranian players are no longer motivated, they must hold on until the end.
At this time, Jonk seemed very excited.
In the first half, seeing his teammates scoring goals one by one, Jonker was very envious, after all, this is the World Cup, he has participated in this event for the first time, and he has not scored a goal yet.
And now, he has also scored, and this goal not only completely crushed the Iranian team and boosted the team's momentum, but also earned him a second World Cup goal.
"This is just the beginning."
Jonk thought that there was a first and a second, and he didn't know how many goals he would score in this World Cup, but he had already booked the top scorer in the World Cup, that is, the World Cup Golden Boot.
Use a World Cup Golden Boot to commemorate a love affair of your own!
.
After Jonker's goal, the rest of the game was a leisure time for Portugal and a terrifying nightmare for Iran.
The result of winning the first World Cup group stage is very good, but seeing the bright red number of '3:1' displayed on the scoreboard on the field, the star players of Portugal's offensive line all feel that Iran is now completely a soft persimmon, and now that they have the opportunity to knead, how can they let it go!?
It's a great time to score goals!!
It's not just Jonker who thinks so, offensive players Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo think so, and even Deco, who has been serving his teammates, has the idea of scoring a goal.
These are World Cup goals, every goal will go down in history, and how can the stars of the Portuguese team be merciful.
Scolari had already noticed the eagerness of the players on the field, and said to himself, boys, let's play, really enjoy a game, forget about it, a hearty victory, he has been looking forward to it for a long time.
After the big victory, there is no external pressure and criticism, no internal contradictions, then it is the real Portuguese team, the group stage is to temper the team, to build a real Portuguese team, and then the complete Portuguese team can go further in the later knockout stage!
Let's go on, boys (to be continued......)
