Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

On the eve of the third round of the UEFA European Under-16 group stage, Jerzy Dudek, Poland's hottest goalkeeper this year, expressed his optimism about the Polish U16 team.

He plays for the Dutch Eredivisie team Feyenoord and won the Eredivisie Best Goalkeeper award for the first time this season.

It is understood that several Premier League giants, including Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, are interested in him.

Dudek: "The third match is the last match of the group stage, and Poland still has a chance to advance."

"The Czech team's attack is weak, and it will be difficult for them to take all three points against Switzerland."

"If Poland beats Portugal, we will advance as the top team in our group."

When asked by reporters for his opinion on the Portuguese players, Dudek said, "In my opinion, the best striker in this age group is only Van Persie."

"I've trained with him, and I even think that in less than three years, Van Persie will be a starter for Feyenoord!"

"Van Persie told me that Duncan is someone to be wary of. He doesn't look strong, but he can always change the course of a game."

Cristiano Ronaldo, the rising star of Portugal, was very dissatisfied with this interview.

You both played in the UEFA Youth League, so why do you, Van Persie, only remember that Deng Kai was dangerous?

Where's my Cristiano Ronaldo?

How dare you disregard me?

Cristiano Ronaldo was so angry that he practiced shooting for an hour straight.

Bruno Valle, who was sparring with him, expressed great pain and begged Pilar to take his place.

Pilar cruelly refused.

That's it?

Now you know the pain I endured at Sporting Lisbon U15, right?

……

The Princess Diaries crew.

There were quite a few people in the production crew who knew about "Hathaway's love affair".

Due to the severe overtime work caused by this incident, the crew will be given a break soon for everyone's mental health.

Everyone started figuring out what to do next.

Someone tried to curry favor with Hathaway by asking her if she would watch the European U17 match on the 17th.

They also said this match was crucial, determining who would advance from the group stage.

Czech Republic, Switzerland, Poland and...

Before the other person could finish speaking, Hathaway said she wanted to stay on set to continue honing her acting skills.

With the female lead speaking up and the director asserting his authority, the others who were asking for a break had no choice but to give up. They decided to postpone their break until they finished filming the next scene.

……

June 17th.

The third round of the European U16 Championship has begun.

Because it involves qualifying spots, all four teams in Portugal's group are playing simultaneously.

Avoid underhanded operations.

Polish football has always emphasized defense.

Their counterattack poses a significant threat.

Moreover, he is skilled at crossing from the wing.

Although the tactics were simple, in the context of a national team where players are unfamiliar with each other and lack chemistry, simple tactics are often more effective.

Less than five minutes into the show.

Portugal established its dominance on the field by relying on the individual abilities of its star players.

Compared to Poland, Portugal's football can now be described as artistic.

In the ninth minute, Quaresma's shot went wide.

In the twelfth minute, Poland launched a counter-attack, but the ball was cleared by Fonte and failed to pose a real threat.

In the 16th minute, Postiga dropped back, and Viana made a forward run after passing the ball.

The moment Postiga received the ball with his back to goal, he was brought down from behind by a Polish player.

The opponent tried to poke the ball away, but ended up poking Postiga's right Achilles tendon instead.

Postiga collapsed to the ground on the spot.

After the team doctor entered the field to examine Viorante, he signaled for a substitution.

Postiga is injured and has to leave the game!

Portugal has lost its key center forward.

Postiga's junior, Almeida, came on as a substitute.

Almeida is taller, but his footwork is a level below Postiga's, and his ability to hold the ball is actually inferior to Postiga's.

Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)

Almeida made a mistake less than a minute after coming on.

He successfully passed the ball to the opposing center-back during a cross-run and passing maneuver with Quaresma.

The Polish center-back launched a counter-attack with a long ball.

Twenty seconds later, the Polish fans in the stands cheered.

Poland's blitzkrieg against Portugal is a success!

One to zero!

Portuguese goalkeeper Bruno Leva looked dejected.

The opponent's shot was of poor quality.

However, the grass on this pitch is of very poor quality, with many potholes and bumps on the surface.

It looks fine to the naked eye, but when the soccer ball rolls, it often bounces irregularly.

That's why he was so close to winning at football.

This can be considered a serious mistake on his part.

After the goal, the Polish team completely retreated into a defensive posture.

They built an impregnable wall in their own restricted area.

Are you scared of the "11-0-0" formation?

Coupled with their aggressive defensive maneuvers, Portugal's attack struggled to create any real threat for a time.

Thirty-second minute.

Quaresma and Duncan combined for a play.

Deng Kai made a forward run, Quaresma dribbled back and pulled the ball vertically.

But the Polish midfielder, with his seasoned defensive experience, immediately followed Quaresma and pressed him closely, denying him any space to turn and pass the ball.

In the end, Quaresma was brought down by his opponent.

The referee awarded Portugal a free kick.

Because of the distance, Portugal took a tactical free kick.

The football flew into the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo's running path was blocked, he couldn't get into position, and missed the ball.

Almeida was pinned down by the Polish player and didn't jump much, but he almost headed the ball.

The football eventually flew out of bounds.

Thirty-nine minutes.

Deng Kai dropped back to midfield and passed the ball to Viana.

Right-back Bosingwa makes a run forward.

Viana passed the ball to Bosingwa.

Quaresma's cut inside drew away the defender, making him the highest priority defensively.

Bosingwa got space and crossed the ball.

Almeida engaged in a fierce battle for position with the Polish center-back inside the penalty area, ultimately winning the header.

However, this header went far wide of the goal and was of extremely poor quality.

Forty-fourth minute.

Portugal managed to execute a rare successful ground pass.

Viana showcased his ball control skills, drawing attention with his individual ability before making a through pass to the left side of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo accelerated to catch up with the ball and tried to dribble past the opposing center-back, but fell in the penalty area the instant he crossed paths with him.

The Portuguese players raised their hands, indicating that the opponent had committed a foul.

The commentator excitedly remarked that this might be a penalty kick.

However, to everyone's astonishment, the referee did not award a penalty, but instead showed Ronaldo a yellow card.

He believes Ronaldo was diving to draw a penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo was so angry that he was trembling all over, and despite the hot weather, he was covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were ice cold.

He was certain that the other person's leg had made contact with his.

Since being defeated by Deng Kai's diving penalty in the Diamond Generation Invitational Tournament, Cristiano Ronaldo has started studying how to draw fouls in the penalty area.

He has recently made some progress.

I was just getting ready to test my skills, and you're telling me this is diving?

Do you understand elementary deduction?

Never heard of Stanislavsky?

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
