Chapter 726 Opponent Ronaldo

Yin Jun was standing at the front of the team, and the Portuguese players were coming to shake hands one by one.In this game, the Chinese team won the home jersey and will wear the traditional white home team jersey of the Chinese team.

In front of them are a large number of reporters, with long guns and short guns.

Ronaldo came up, raised his head slightly and wiped Yin Jun's eyes, the two of them quickly released their hands after holding each other, making people wonder if they really held each other, or just slapped each other Handshake - just as perfunctory and casual as any other pre-game handshake between two players.

The two of them had neither eye contact nor verbal communication. They didn't say anything, and they separated after touching palms. Ronaldo went to shake hands with the next Chinese player, and Yin Jun also set his sights on the next Portuguese player.

Although the two are teammates in the club, they are also friends in private, but on the field, there is only one relationship: opponents!

Moreover, before playing, the two had already communicated in the player channel, and now that the game is about to start, both of them have already focused on the upcoming game.

As the offensive core of their respective teams, the two shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's offense, and even the hope of whether the team can continue to go on in the World Cup, the pressure is quite high.

………………

"...After the game started, after 10 minutes of the game, we can already clearly see that the Chinese team adopted a defensive counterattack in this game, which is not surprising at all. The Chinese team can only do this. Otherwise, their goal It will be sieved..." the narrator of Portuguese TV jokingly said.

The Chinese team was indeed playing a defensive counterattack. Basically, they gave up possession of the ball completely and handed over the football to Portugal, allowing them to back and forth in their own half.If Portugal crosses the halfway line, the intensity of the pressing is not very great.

Only when Portugal approached the 30 meters zone of the Chinese team did their defensive intensity increase.

If Portugal tries to break into the restricted area of ​​the Chinese team, it will be stubbornly resisted by the Chinese team.

In the face of technical teams, most teams will adopt tactics, commonly known as "putting the bus".

Portugal can also be regarded as a technical team in world football. At least the Chinese team is far inferior to their opponents in terms of ball control.If you fight with your opponent to control the ball, you will definitely lose miserably.

………………

It is not surprising that Portugal faced a defensive team. They also have a way to deal with this kind of team. Although it is a little troublesome, it does not mean that they cannot win.

The Chinese team didn't come up to grab, they just passed back and forth in front of the Chinese team's penalty area, waiting patiently for the opportunity.

The Chinese team's offensive method is very simple. If the ball is on their side, they will basically not press the attack, nor will they use short passes to advance, which has a high success rate but requires a lot of manpower. Instead, he directly made a long pass to find Gao Lin who was at the top.

Gao Lin, as the arrow in this game, is the center forward. He is the closest player in the Chinese team to Portugal's goal.

After he got the ball, he used his fulcrum role to find opportunities for the Chinese team.Either dribble the ball into Portugal's defense, or head the ball and find the two full-backs of the Chinese team, or head the ball back and cooperate with Yin Jun who is plugging in behind.

But this kind of opportunity is really too rare. After all, the quality of offense still needs to correspond to the number of people. If there are not enough people, it will be very difficult.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Chinese team to threaten Portugal's goal.

………………

The Chinese team pays close attention to Ronaldo. As long as Ronaldo gets the ball, two players will immediately surround him and follow him closely to prevent him from getting the ball easily.

But even so, it can still be seen that the two Chinese players defending Ronaldo are struggling.

This Portuguese team combines the old, the middle and the young, and the age structure is actually very good. Although the golden generation represented by Figo has gradually aged, and even many veterans including Rui Costa have withdrawn from the Portuguese national team, but The new generation of players represented by Ronaldo has grown up and complemented the team lineup very well.Moreover, these players have cooperated with each other for many years and have a good understanding.

For example, when Ronaldo tries to cut in from the right, whether it is a Portuguese striker near the penalty area or a midfielder, they can form a connection with Ronaldo.

When Cristiano Ronaldo faces two opposing players, he can pass the football forward to the retreating forward, or pass the loan to the midfielder who is next to him, and then make an empty cut to run with himself. His teammates do all kinds of triangular cooperation against the wall, which makes it difficult for the defensive players to defend.

After all, when Cristiano Ronaldo passes the football, it is impossible not to defend the player who takes the ball. The other Portuguese players are not fuel-efficient, and they all have super personal abilities. If they all run to defend Ronaldo, they will lose the same. ball.

Even if they can keep Ronaldo scoreless throughout the game, but in the end they still lost the game, what's the point?

………………

"Ronaldo is here!" Chinese commentator Huang Jianqiang exclaimed when Ronaldo began to dribble from the side to the center again. Every time Ronaldo dribbles like this, he can be worried, for fear that the Chinese team's defense will collapse.

This time Ronaldo made a wall-hitting cooperation with Thiago during the horizontal dribbling process.He passed the football to Thiago who retreated to respond, and then accelerated himself violently, breaking through the middle of the two Chinese defenders. At the same time, Thiago passed the football back to him. He stepped lightly and avoided After the Chinese team's central defender Li Weifeng made a tackle, he shot directly with his left foot.

"Dangerous!" He Weiwei exclaimed.

The ball draws a clear arc around the back corner of the goal.Although Li Leilei made a save, he was still far away from football.

Just when everyone thought that the Chinese team was going to concede the ball this time, the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the goal post!
"It's so dangerous!" Huang Jianqiang let out a sigh of relief.

The collective exclamation of the fans of the Chinese team also sounded in the stands.

Ronaldo, who didn't score, shook his head slightly, a little regretful.

Although Ronaldo didn't score a goal, the Portuguese coach San Scolari sat firmly on the coach's bench, not in a hurry or regretful.

The goal was indeed missed, but he has seen the crumbling defense of the Chinese team in this attack. I believe that if the game continues like this, Portugal will definitely be able to score in a short time.

Everything is just a matter of time, and this time will not exceed the end of the first half at the latest.

He is very happy that his players have not underestimated the enemy and the game is developing on the right track.
