Chapter 620 World Cup Game 1, Portugal VS Spain



The day after the opening game, the Group B match in Spain also officially started.

The two teams facing each other in the first round were Iran and Morocco, the weakest players in the group. This game is likely to be the only victory the two teams can win in this World Cup.

If we can successfully win and then fight hard to draw with one of the Spanish or Portuguese teams, we might still have a chance to qualify from the group.

Therefore, the two sides fought fiercely, just to fight for this glimmer of life.

The strength between the two teams is relatively close, and this game was also very tense.

Until the end of regular time, the score on the field was still 0:0.
Seeing that a draw was about to occur, the Iranian team's substitute forward scored an own goal in stoppage time and gave his opponent a golden goal at the last moment.

With this own goal, Morocco defeated the Iranian team 1:0.

The Iranian team's loss made the Asian teams' record in the World Cup look ugly again.

In the last World Cup, it was difficult for any Asian team to win.

In this World Cup, Saudi Arabia and Iran, who were the first to appear, both lost, which put great pressure on the Australian, South Korean and Japanese teams behind them.

After the match between Morocco and Iran, this World Cup ushered in a focus battle-Spain VS Portugal.

This is a replica of the last European Cup final.

Last time, Spain had the last laugh, but this time I don’t know who will win.

Before the game, outside public opinion was more optimistic about Spain. After all, Spain has an advantage in the past record of the two teams.

And compared to Portugal's lineup, although Spain's lineup is not as good as before, it still has obvious advantages.

But football matches are full of contingencies, and it does not mean that whoever is stronger will definitely win.

Not long after the match between Spain and Portugal started, Ronaldo scored.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Portugal launched an attack, and Ronaldo was brought down by his club teammate Nacho in the penalty area.

The referee directly awarded a penalty kick, and Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty in person, rewriting the score to 1:0.
Portugal's quick goal changed the situation of the game greatly.

The mentality of the Spanish team was obviously affected to a certain extent. The players were eager to equalize the score and played a little anxiously.

Portugal then took the opportunity to counterattack several times and almost scored again.

But fortunately, Lin Quan stood up and began to control the game, consciously controlling the rhythm of the game, and controlling the ball at his feet as much as possible to prevent the opponent's defensive counterattack from being effective.

Lin Quan stepped forward and restored the sense of those young players who had taken the trouble.

The Spanish team began to play their familiar passing and controlling football at their own pace.

Seeing that Spain quickly stabilized its position and gave the Portuguese team no chance to counterattack, the Portuguese coach couldn't help but sigh.

The opponent's No. 10 is too experienced. Such experience is often possessed by veteran players who have played in the midfield for many years. It is outrageous to appear on a 22-year-old young player.

After Spain returned to their familiar rhythm, their offensive threat also increased.

In the 10th minute, Alba made a pass from the left, and Lin Quan volleyed sideways and missed.

In the 17th minute, Lin Quan and Isco broke into the penalty area after hitting the wall without being offside.

Unfortunately, the latter's pass was too powerful and the ball was directly confiscated by the Portuguese goalkeeper. Spain missed a chance to score.

2 minutes later, Spain made a comeback.

Lin Quan dribbled the ball to the right wing and passed it into the penalty area. Diego Costa's header was resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

After the corner kick was taken, Ramos found the spot, but he was unlucky. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

During this period, Spain's offensive was overwhelming, and the Portuguese team was breathless.

The Portuguese fans in the stands were so nervous that they didn't dare to express their nerves. They were obviously the leading side, but they felt more pressure than their opponents.

If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Under the opponent's continuous attacks, Portugal's defense is like a tight string. After holding on for a while, it finally couldn't hold it any longer.

In the 23rd minute, seeing that the opponent's backcourt was too crowded, Lin Quan consciously retreated a little after receiving the ball. After attracting the opponent to save, he gently kicked the ball to Busquets not far in front of him and passed the ball. ball, while quietly giving Busquets a gesture.

Busquets saw Lin Quan's gesture, glanced at Diego Costa's position on the striker, and quickly kicked off and sent a long pass.

The Portuguese players were moving outside, but the football suddenly flew towards their penalty area, and they were caught off guard.

Diego Costa also saw Lin Quan's gesture. When Lin Quan passed the ball to Busquets, he had already started running back.

This reverse run was very good, allowing him to easily get rid of the opponent's defender and receive Busquets' pass near the penalty area line.

Portugal's goalkeeper chose to attack, but Diego Costa deflected the angle and volleyed the goal.

The score became a 1:1 tie.

After scoring the goal, Shengshi Meiyan ran to the sidelines and made a very domineering celebration.

On the sidelines, the Portuguese head coach couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the team's defensive mistake.

How could he be deceived by his opponent so easily?
Do you think that the Spanish team has always attacked on the ground before and did not use long passes to lob, so it does not know this trick?
How naive!
However, the opponent's design of this ball was also very clever. After Lin Quan took the ball, he retreated and assumed a posture of slowing down after being unable to attack for a long time. However, he suddenly changed and caught Portugal by surprise.

This little fox is a bit too cunning.

"Professor Bu's biography is beautiful!"

Seeing Diego Costa score, Lin Quan smiled and high-fived Busquets.

Although Lin Quan came up with the idea of ​​this goal, the final pass was completed by Busquets.

Professor Bu's long pass skills are quite good, much more accurate than Lin Quan imagined.

"Hey, this way of playing football with your brain is what I like best. If you have any other ideas next, be sure to tell me!"

Busquets has a high golf IQ and is very good at cooperating with his teammates to create some incredible offensive tactics.

For example, when he gave Messi a century assist, it seemed like he did nothing but acted as a wall and bounced the ball back to Messi's feet.

But in fact, Busquets helped block the opponent's midfielder's pursuit. His position selection also allowed Messi to face Real Madrid's defender directly without slowing down in the middle.

Some of the work done by Professor Bu may seem inconspicuous, but in the eyes of those who really understand football, his important role can be seen.

It is precisely because of this that Busquets is called a ball-blind filter.

Those who know football think he is very good, while those who don't know football think he is useless.

……

After Spain equalized the score, the team's morale soared. They continued their previous offensive and launched a fierce attack on Portugal's goal.

In the 26th minute, Lin Quan got rid of the opponent's midfielder in the middle and sent a through ball. After receiving the ball, Isco hit the crossbar again with a powerful shot.

But the rebounded ball landed in the penalty area, and Spanish full-back Alba rushed over to complete a supplementary shot.

But it's a pity that the ball was hit a little straight and was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. In the 35th minute, Spain suddenly accelerated after passing the ball continuously on the left and knocked the ball horizontally into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Iniesta aimed a sweep at the far corner, but unfortunately his aim was not accurate and the ball slipped past the goal.

Portugal took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack. Ronaldo brought the ball to the frontcourt and then hit the middle. Guedes did not handle the ball in time and missed the chance to shoot.

Two minutes later, Seat B completed a pass from the wing and hit the middle. Ronaldo took a shot and hit the defensive player.

After gradually adapting to Spain's offensive rhythm, Portugal's offense has also improved, and it is no longer as passive as before.

But the situation on the field was generally more favorable to the Spanish team. After they completed two shots, Portugal could get a chance to shoot.

What is being compared now is who is more efficient and who has a better ability to seize opportunities.

In the 42nd minute, Isco once again received a through ball from Lin Quan on the right.

He originally wanted to shoot by himself, but the opponent's defender blocked it quickly, so Isco changed his shot to a pass and passed the ball to Diego Costa in the penalty area.

The latter blasted the ball into the goal.

The score became 1:2, and Spain reversed Portugal.

Diego Costa, who scored twice, excitedly blew kisses to the Spanish fans in the stands.

After joining the Spanish team for so long, this is the first time I feel so comfortable.

Sure enough, it's great to have a top midfielder behind you!
On the sidelines, Del Bosque was also very satisfied with the performance of his disciples. He stood up to applaud the players and shouted to the court to let them be careful of their opponents' counterattacks.

There is not much time left in the first half, and Portugal will definitely use this last time to launch a fierce attack.

Otherwise, they will return to the locker room with a one-goal deficit.

Del Bosque's prediction was accurate. After the restart, Portugal was uncharacteristically no longer defensive and counterattacked, but launched a fierce attack on Spain.

In the 44th minute, it was still on the right.

Seat B once again sent a key cross, passing the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area.

Portugal's forward Guedes did not choose to shoot himself when he got the ball. Instead, he distributed the ball to his big brother Cristiano Ronaldo who was next to him.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo took off from the top line of the arc and shot. The flight path of the ball was very low, almost flying close to the lawn, and the ball was very fast.

De Gea made a misjudgment when making a save, and the football hit his knee and deflected into the goal.

The score became 2:2, and Ronaldo also scored twice.

Since the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Ronaldo, who has participated in four consecutive World Cups, finally broke the curse of only scoring one goal in the previous World Cup.

And it only took one game!
The 33-year-old Ronaldo, with these two goals, severely defeated the rumors that the outside world thought that he was too old to fight!

The Portuguese fans who came to the scene excitedly waved the national flag and cheered Ronaldo's name loudly.

At this moment, Ronaldo is the pride of their entire country!

Del Bosque on the sidelines was a little speechless. He just reminded the players to be careful, but in the blink of an eye the opponent scored.

The biggest blame for this goal must be placed on De Gea. It is really inappropriate to make such a mistake in such a crucial game.

He misses Casillas a little bit. In the first two World Cups, with Casillas in goal, Del Bosque would be extremely relieved.

De Gea, who made the mistake, also blamed himself. He apologized to his teammates:

"Mine, this ball is mine, I'm sorry!"

Although his teammates didn't blame him, the frustration was obvious.

After the Portuguese team finished celebrating, there was not much time left in the first half.

In the end, the two teams tied 2:2 in the first half.

For fans of both sides, this is a rather ambiguous score.

But for the neutral fans who came to watch the game, the first half was definitely a wonderful game, and could even be said to be the most exciting game in this World Cup so far.

No wonder it’s called a focus battle, it’s really good-looking!
"Haha, Cristiano Ronaldo was a bit fierce today. He scored two goals in the half. Is it possible to score a World Cup hat trick today?"

"Looking at my Luo's condition, I feel the possibility is very high!"

"Indeed, the president has a strong desire to survive today and a strong desire to attack!"

During the halftime break, Ronaldo's fans discussed Ronaldo's status online.

This season, Ronaldo's condition has actually been good, whether in the league or the Champions League.

Although he ended up with nothing, that doesn't take away from his outstanding performance.

What more can you ask for from a 33-year-old 'veteran'?

"I hope the Portuguese team can go far in this World Cup!"

"Haha, I'm going too far. Let's win this game first and then talk about it!"

"The opponent's condition is not bad either. I don't think there is much hope for the Portuguese team to defeat Spain!"

"Indeed, the Spanish team played very well as a team today, and Lin Huang hasn't even started to show off his power yet!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Quan took very few shots in this game.

Although he played in the midfield position today, if he wanted to shoot, he would have more opportunities, after all, the ball was in his hands.

But he suppressed his desire to attack and constantly used passes to create opportunities for his teammates.

But no one knows whether this state will last forever. If he breaks the seal in the second half and starts to go berserk, the Portuguese team will have to be careful.

This game also attracted a large number of Asian fans to watch the game. Although there is no home team, there are a lot of familiar stars in these two teams. Coupled with this high-level game, fans regardless of their nationality are all interested in watching the game. Won't miss it.

"Hey, look at the games of the strong European teams, and then look at the games of our Asian teams, I wonder if we are playing the same game!"

"Let's do a good job in the league first. If the domestic league is not improving, don't even think about reaching the top in one fell swoop!"

The AFC Champions League, which represents the highest honor of the Asian Football League, is several levels behind the Champions League.

Moreover, affected by the siphon effect of the five major leagues, almost all of Asia's top players have been poached.

This makes the AFC Champions League less attractive and exciting. Coupled with the bizarre division system, this league is full of peculiar smell.

If the league does not go well, the results of the national team will naturally not improve.

Of course, you may be able to count on overseas players, but after all, only a few can do so. (End of chapter)
