No. 219 The fire is burning

In the Portuguese dressing room, Scolari talked most about defence, and everyone knew that in the second half, Portugal would face a frantic attack from Spain.

"Stabilize the formation, for the Spaniards' offense, when defending, pay attention to the help defense, and run up!"

"In the midfield, everyone handles the ball, keep it simple, don't lose the ball lightly! Even if you lose the ball, you have to fight back on the spot! ”

Of course, in addition to defending, Portugal will not forget to attack, but compared to the first half of the game, Portugal can put much less force into attack, so in this case, most of the attacking burden will go directly to the attacking duo of Jonk and Simao.

This will require Jonk and Simão to improve their efficiency in attack.

"Jonker, Simao, as soon as you have the opportunity in the second half, launch a quick counterattack, don't stick to the ball, use the fastest speed and way, and push the attack into the Spanish penalty area!!" Scolari said.

"Got it, boss." Jonk and Simão nodded together, indicating that they understood and knew what to do.

After the start of the second half, Spain began a fierce attack on the Portuguese half, and for a while, there was even a siege towards the goal.

However, the Portuguese team was well prepared and did a good job defensively, so although Spain suppressed Portugal offensively, there were no too good chances.

The game was in the 60th minute.

Xavi was in midfield and Petit came up to interfere with him.

Xavi saw that it was difficult to break through head-on, so he made a wall-to-wall combination with Iniesta and got rid of Petit's defense. Then a scalpel-like straight plug went straight over the wide range of midfield. It was passed to Villa in the forward line.

Villa's movements were quite reasonable, and he adjusted his direction as he received the ball. So just take the ball with your right foot and speed up!

When Carvalho turned around and came up to intercept, he was half a beat slower, and he could only watch Villa burst into the box with the ball.

"Carvalho's turn was too slow! He couldn't keep up with Villa's rhythm at all! Be careful. Lineker shouted.

"Beautiful! Nice stop ball to get rid of !! Wonderful action!! Carvalho is like a clumsy polar bear, and he simply can't keep up with Villa's rhythm!! The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly.

Now standing in front of Villa was Pepe, who stomped the ball at his feet and then made a move to shoot with his feet, as Pepe stretched out his foot to block. But he pulled the football horizontally, flashed out of the pass gap, and suddenly got up and plugged it straight.

Ernst. In the stands of the Spanish fans at the Hapur Stadium, there was already a cheer.

This is Torres plugging in quickly from the side and appearing on the rolling line of the football!

"Villa has passed! He's a selfless passer!! Torres! He took the ball, single-handedly-goooooooaaaaal!!! 1:1!!! The score is equalized!! Great goal! The Spanish narrator frantically waved his arms and shouted.

“Goooal! Goooooal!! Commentators from other countries also cheered.

Torres went one-on-one and in the face of Villa's unselfish split, he opted to push into the far corner. Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo was not able to continue today's good form this time! The football rolled into the goal without any suspense! 1:1! The Spaniards equalised! ”

Torres looked so excited after the goal that he rushed to the sidelines, waving his arms vigorously and yelling in his mouth.

But. He was quickly surrounded by his team-mates and the Spaniards celebrated the goal as they looked to attack in the second half. Goal, and now it's a goal!!

This gave the Spanish players a burst of confidence. They felt that the score was equalized. Will it be far away?

And at this time Ernst. The Hapoel Stadium was already a boiling ocean, and the Spanish fans erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.

The camera also focused on the head coach in the Spanish dugout on the sidelines, and Aragonés smiled with satisfaction, this is his Spain, as long as his Spain is functioning properly, then, nothing will stop their pursuit and desire for the title.

Scolari looked disappointed, despite his repeated admonitions to pay attention to the defence, but the goal was still conceded, and now he has to think about not only the goal, since the goal has been conceded, there is no need to think too much, now, it is necessary to consider the possible impact of this goal on the team.

The Spaniards equalized at this time and will surely press hard to try their best to overtake.

Now, what the Portuguese team has to do is to stabilize the defense, not to concede the ball again, and then, on the basis of stabilizing the defense, just wait for the opportunity to play Spain's counterattack.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Xavi, the core of the Spanish midfield, passed a penetrating ball, and finally Villa cleverly divided the ball, Torres was keenly inserted and pushed into the far corner......

Portugal 1:1 Spain!!

The race, at the moment, is back on the same starting line.

“1:1!! With a goal from Fernando Torres, Spain equalised and the game was getting more and more exciting, and now it is 62 minutes into the game, and the two sides are back on the same starting line, as for who will lift the final Delaunay Cup, it is still a mystery. However, for the fans, now is the beginning of the climax, isn't it? The Austrian narrator looked very excited and shouted loudly.

That's right, the neutral fans were happy, the Spanish fans cheered, and only the Portuguese fans were disappointed.

However, the game is not over yet, and as the Austrian commentator said, the climax has just begun, isn't it?

Who picks up the Delaunay Cup, this is a puzzle, the moment the mystery is revealed, it is the climax!

After the game restarted, Spain really pressed hard, wanting to take advantage of this momentum and take advantage of the situation to overtake the score. The Portuguese team, on the other hand, was forced to retreat to the back. During this time, even Jonk had to defend back to his own half. Help the team defend.

In the 66th minute, Petit fouled Silva. Referee Brickray showed a yellow card to Petit and awarded a free-kick.

"This free-kick is about 25 metres from the goal. It's entirely possible to score straight away, and this is Spain's chance! It's also Harvey's chance. ”

Xavi stood at the penalty spot, referee Brickray's whistle sounded, Xavi ran and shot, the ball flew towards the goal in a beautiful arc, Ricardo tried his best to jump up and pounce, but did not touch the football, just when the Portuguese were in despair. There was a muffled thud as the ball went over between Ricciardo's hands and hit the post.

The Portuguese team escaped.

This also made all the Portuguese break out in a cold sweat, as the core of the defense, Pepe immediately confessed to everyone, when forced to foul, pay attention to the occasion of the foul, do not give the Spaniard too many opportunities for set-pieces in dangerous positions.

After the equaliser, the morale of the Spanish team was high, and their attack was higher and higher. And. Aragonés also told the players at half-time that if the goal equalised, try to make persistent efforts to score another goal, and use a strong attack. Crush the fighting spirit of the Portuguese!

So the Spaniard's attack was aggressive, with two full-backs, Sergio Ramos and Capdrera, actively assisting on both wings and taking turns attacking the Portuguese defence.

This puts the Portuguese team in this time. Very passive, almost a total retreat. There is only the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.

And given Xavi's free-kick just now. hit the post and almost scored, which also made the Portuguese players have some scruples in their hearts, afraid of giving Spain a threatening set-piece opportunity, so Portugal's defense is not as tight as before, and some of the defensive actions that they dared to make were also afraid to do it because they were timid.

Spain played a brilliant game, Cesc Fabregas played a boccia ball, Silva knocked his heel and the ball passed to Iniesta.

Iniesta didn't hesitate to distribute the ball that Silva knocked to his left, and Capdereira assisted and received the football!

"Beautiful one-kick pass! After the equaliser, Spain played with more and more confidence. ”

Capdreira thrashed the ball forward, quickly lifted it and hoisted it into the box.

In the penalty area, Torres leaped high in front of Carvalho and headed hard, but this time Ricardo was good, jumping up and holding the ball firmly in the air.

This time, the Portuguese fans gave Ricardo a round of applause, in fact, in today's game, overall, Ricardo's table was quite good, as for the goal just conceded, it was not the goalkeeper's responsibility.

The Spaniards' attacks followed.

Xavi controlled the football, and in the face of Deco's defense, he suddenly passed a diagonal ball, Ramos got the ball and quickly passed the ball to Fabregas, who pulled back to ask for the ball, Fabregas passed the ball to Xavi again, Xavi immediately turned and dribbled the ball forward for some distance before passing the ball to Silva.

Silva smacked the ball, then raised his foot to make a gesture to hit the goal, Petit hurriedly pounced, but Silva just buttoned, and then passed the ball to the vacancy, where Villa suddenly cut in and received the ball, and then did not adjust, did not give the Portuguese defender time to pounce, raised his foot and shot!

The ball slid against the turf and raced towards the Portuguese goal.

Ricardo subconsciously stretched his leg in a gear, and the football was blocked by him.

Corner kick!

Sergio Ramos and Puyol were both pressed for the corner, which made the Portuguese defenders nervous, both of whom were excellent headers.

Xavi took a tactical corner, he knocked the ball to Andres Iniesta, who crossed the ball, Cesc Fabregas split the ball, Capdrera came up, he took a few steps forward and sent the ball straight into the box on the turf.

The ball sticks to the turf and flies to the penalty area at a very fast speed, and such a pass that flies quickly into the penalty area against the turf is very dangerous, because in the penalty area, no matter who touches the football, it is possible to guide the football into the net.

Portugal's defense was suddenly in a mess, and in the face of such a ball, all the Portuguese players were a little afraid to stretch their feet, they were afraid of scoring an own goal.

In the middle of the crowd in the penalty area, Villa suddenly reached out with a kick to sweep the ball into the net. However, he was not able to touch the football. The ball continued to roll towards goal, and Ricardo was in front of goal. He didn't dare to fall to the ground and pounce on this kind of ball.

The ball kept sticking to the turf, sliding quickly past the goal, but no one touched the ball, and just as the Portuguese players were relieved, near the baseline, Cesc Fabregas stopped the ball and then picked up his right foot and passed the ball into the box.

Before all the Portuguese players could react, a figure jumped high to head the goal. Ricardo didn't even react at all.

The ball is in!

'Andres Iniesta passes, Cesc Fabregas splits the side, Capdrera passes and the ball flies into the box...... Villa...... Didn't touch the ball...... God, Fabregas!! Biography - Villa!!!! Gooooaaaal!!! The Spanish narrator's lips flew up and down, like a machine gun, and his saliva splashed everywhere, and at the end of the commentary, which was not even breathless, was the voice that roared out in a dead voice!

“Goooooooooaaaaal!!! Great goal! From Villa! 2:1! 2:1!! Spain overtook the score!! ”

Aragonés was sitting in his seat, at the moment. Seeing Villa's header score, he jumped up from his seat and ran to the sidelines, hugging his assistant coach with open arms.

At this time. There was jubilation on the bench throughout Spain.

“2:1! 2:1! Now we are ahead! We are ahead! The Spanish narrator yelled hoarsely, and even a little crying in his voice, which was exciting. Trailing 0:1 in the first half, now. They turned the score 2:1! If the tournament were to end with this scoreline, Spain would be the first time in many years. If you reach the final again, you will win the Delaunay Cup!!

"It's incredible...... Spain overtook the scoreline, they did a fantastic job!! Portugal is in the midst of a great crisis! The commentator's mouth was wide open, obviously still surprised by the Spanish goal!

The Spaniards were still celebrating their goals like crazy, and their celebrations had run out of time, but the Spaniards didn't care because they were ahead and it would be best to waste the game.

Jonk and Cristiano Ronaldo approached referee Brickray together to protest against the Spanish players celebrating Yan Zòng overtime.

It was only after the intervention of referee Brickrey that the Spaniards ended their celebration. Amid the cheers of the Spanish fans at the Hapoel Stadium, they returned to their respective positions in the stadium.

Scolari's face was gloomy and he cursed from the sidelines, not even having time to criticise the team's problems in conceding the goal.

Because it was already the 72nd minute of the game, Portugal was 1:2 behind, and there was not much time left for Portugal!!

Scolari called Cristiano Ronaldo to the sidelines, telling him to cheer up the players, put all their energy on the game, and don't think about so many things, because, for the Portuguese team, there is really no time to delay at all: not counting injury time, there are less than 18 minutes left for Portugal.

That's less than 18 minutes, and it can be consumed at any time.

Portugal made immediate substitutions, with Scolari using two substitutions at once.

Quares came on and replaced Munitis.

Nuno Gomez came on and replaced Petit.

Portugal used a three-striker formation and gave it a go!

As the game time passed, the score on the field was still Portugal 1:2 Spain, which made the Portuguese players more and more impatient.

As Aragonés imagined, the problem of poor mental quality of the Portuguese players began to emerge.

At this time, the Portuguese players all want to attack and are eager to score, but, affected by psychological factors, they appear frizzy in attack, and even begin to look for the high point of Nuno Gomez to the most traditional long pass, but it is obviously not right to count all hopes on a veteran who has never played a minute in this European Cup, Scolari replaced Nuno Gomez with Nuno Gomez as Portugal's main offensive fulcrum, It was only in the sense of enriching the means of attack of Portugal.

The camera is focused on Scolari, the old man with a gloomy face, in fact. At this time, the role of the head coach is no longer so great, he develops tactics, but. At this point, the players are not able to execute well. What's the use.

The camera is also focused on Jonker, at this moment. In the most critical moment, it is the moment that shows the importance of a football star, a superstar!!

Jonker lifted his jersey and wiped the sweat from his face, gasping for air.

He had just fired a shot from distance, just wide.

In fact, long-range shooting is one of the offensive methods with a relatively low effect, which is really a way to do it when there is no way!

"Time is running out, we don't seem to be running out of options! Is Portugal about to be eliminated by the Spaniards? Will there be any miracles for our lads? This is the first time we have been in 4 years. Reaching the final again, the lads are one step away from making history...... Jonker has scored eight goals at this tournament, just one goal shy of Platini's 22-year-old record of nine goals...... Is this the end? That's really ...... What a fuck thing!! As time passed, Lineker felt like his heart was almost empty, and he was unusually unhappy.

In the 81st minute, Spain also made a substitution, with Alonso coming on as a substitute for Silva. This is a signal to strengthen the defense.

Alonso came on and won the ball in midfield and tried to dribble past Deco again, though. But Deco cut off the football beautifully, Alonso immediately counter-robbed, and in the end there was really no way. In order to block Portugal's counter-attacking opportunities, they could only push Deco to the ground.

Referee Brickrey showed Alonso a yellow card. A free-kick was awarded.

Cristiano Ronaldo bent down to touch the ball and then quickly took a free kick. He picked up his right foot and drove the ball forward with a big foot.

Is this going to be a midfield hanging door?

Just when everyone was confused, people saw that Jonker was rushing forward from the midfielder towards the Spanish penalty area, as if a sharp dagger was plunged into the heart of the enemy!

At this time, when Alonso attacked with the ball just now, Spain pressed out all the attack, and now, many players have not had time to return to defense.

"Back to the defense!!" Puyol stood in the box and yelled, beckoning his teammates to get back quickly.

Cesc Fabregas, who was closest to Jonker, rushed over and tried to interfere with Jonk and prevent him from stopping the ball.

The football is missing, Cesc Fabregas intends to destroy the football, however, he finds that the football is missing, where is the ball! Just now, Jonk used the heel of his left foot that was lagging in the run, and the football flew up again, flying above the heads of the two of them, and landed in front of Jonk, and when he fell, Jonk stood up on his chest, unloaded the ball during the run, and moved forward at high speed with the ball.

"Beautiful! His footwork is simply gorgeous. Lineker shouted!

Then, Jonker picked up speed again, shook his shoulders, and left Fabregas behind, Fabregas is not a player with good speed, and no matter how much he wants to accelerate, he can't keep up with Jonker's pace!

At the same time, Alonso, who was chasing back all the way, and the distance between him and Jonk was getting bigger and bigger!

"Hell! Doesn't that guy feel tired at all? Alonso scolded angrily, he had just come on as a substitute, and his body was very good, but, in his opinion, after more than eighty minutes of Jonk, at this moment, his body was simply more abundant than that of aliens...... This guy should be going to a triathlon, not to play football!!

"Oh my God! He's just as fast with the ball as he is without the ball! Alonso and Cesc Fabregas simply can't catch up with him! The Spanish commentator shouted in shock, "Urine test! Check him out after the race, God, he's still running like this! ”

"Stop him!!" Casillas is in charge of the team's backline.

Puyol told Ramos to stay in the box and he rushed up on his own. Joining him in the rush to Jonker was Xavi, who was desperately trying to get back to the defense.

From the stands, Puyol and Xavi looked like they were about to crush Jonker.

It's close!

It's met!

I saw that Jonker's left shoulder sank first, which surprised Harvey that he was going to break through from the left side, and Harvey immediately stretched out his leg to intercept.

However, Jonker then flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, and he was about to break through from the right, at which point Puyol immediately met him.

However, Jonk jerked the ball to the left!

Immediately, Jonker's own body also leaned a little, and with an acceleration, he swept past Puyol, but Harvey came up again.

Jonker made another sudden stop, clasped his right foot, and then blocked with his left foot, and the ball rolled straight between Xavi's legs.

Immediately, Jonk started again, relying on his amazing explosive power to rush over!

Face Ramos. (To be continued......)
