It is normal to have a goalless draw at half-time, but this does not mean that the game is boring. At least the players on both sides worked hard enough on the court, and there were also some wonderful performances. It was just that the other side was strict

It is not easy to score goals under a strong defense. Especially after entering the knockout stage of the European Cup, the difficulty has further increased. This situation continued in the second half of the game, and goals were still delayed.

It didn't come. As time passed a little bit, overtime inevitably came.

Fortunately, the final result of this game was that the Portuguese team won the final victory. In the 116th minute of the game, Nani crossed the ball to the feet of Ronaldo on the other side of the goal. The latter's shot was stretched by the goalkeeper.

He touched his calf once, and then stopped in front of the door.

At this moment, a green figure (the color of the Portuguese team's jersey) flashed in quickly, but it was Quaresma who had just replaced him. At that moment, he just reached the goal and then headed the ball into the empty goal.

in, completing the final kill.

With this goal, the Portuguese team almost became one of the teams that advanced to the quarter-finals of the next round of the European Cup. The other seven teams that also advanced were Poland, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and

Iceland.

Most of the strong teams successfully advanced, but there were exceptions. The biggest upset was the unexpected elimination of the British Iceland team.

The result of the Portuguese team's quarter-final draw was good or bad, and their opponent was the Polish team. Four days later, on June 30, they faced this battle at the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille.

What is different from the previous game is that the goals for both sides in this game came very quickly. Only 1 minute and 40 seconds into the game, the Polish team took the lead with Lewandowski's goal. The Polish team did not

It didn't last long. In the 33rd minute, Sanchez's long shot from outside the penalty area evened the score between the two teams.

However, the subsequent game seemed to fall into the same anxiety as the previous one. The final score in the first half was 1-1, and the two sides did not achieve anything for a long time in the second half.

In the stands, the Longshen fans club led by Doleza came as usual, but there was still no sign of Felix among the Portuguese club team.

Since further hospitalization is required for observation, the old man can only continue to watch the live broadcast there. However, although he did not come himself, his comrades still counted his share, including a young man

The young man put on his clothes and had a slogan on his body: "Felix, I wish you a speedy recovery, we will persist until you return to the team."

This scene is very touching. Although Doleza does not know how far the Portuguese team can go in this European Cup, he still hopes that they can continue to play as much as possible. If they can persist until the finals

, maybe that old man Felix can really come back in time.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but worry about the situation on the field. The game had reached the final stage of the second half. In such a draw, both sides acted extremely cautiously, just because a slight oversight at this time could be possible.

Causing an accident, then conceding the ball and completely losing everything is the most frustrating situation.

Li Zhao has a wide range of activities in this game. After having enough advantages in the midfield, he participated in the forward attack. He can not only organize the attack in the midfield, but also attack the city like a forward. His biggest threat

This is where his nature lies. He can pass, make sudden moves, shoot, and is good at seizing opportunities and stealing in the frontcourt. Such a nearly complete player is undoubtedly the most troublesome type of player for the opponent.

It can be said that although he is still far behind Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of fame, he is not much inferior in terms of actual threat, so he will inevitably receive a lot of attention.

Despite this, he still performed well from time to time in the game, but he was still unable to gain anything, which inevitably made him a little anxious. The most regrettable thing is that he just activated his skills, but he was still beaten by the opponent's goalkeeper.

He was denied a rare divine save, which made him feel frustrated for a moment.

"It's okay. It's just bad luck this time. That kind of save won't happen a few times in the whole game. It just happened to happen to you. We still have to persevere. Maybe we can succeed next time.

Got it." Cristiano Ronaldo noticed Li Zhao's absent-minded state in time and immediately came over to remind him.

"I understand. If that's the case, then I'll do it a few more times. I don't believe that I can't pry open his turtle shell." After being reminded, Li Zhao finally came to his senses, and at the same time, he also had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.

Sometimes on the field, luck is often the more important factor, but this factor seems to be often ignored by people. After figuring out the relationship, Li Zhaojing readjusted his mentality, and he also burst out with extraordinary energy.

There was greater fighting spirit before.

It looked like it was going to be overtime again, but Li Zhao's efforts finally bore fruit near the end of the game.

In the 87th minute of the game, Li Zhao ran into a neutral position in the penalty area without the ball. Ronaldo, who observed his move, immediately passed the ball over. Li Zhao had his back to the goal at this time.

, and waiting for him to turn around and then hit the goal would undoubtedly lose this opportunity, but he did not do that. At this time, an idea flashed in his mind, and at the moment of catching the ball, he had already planned the next step.

The shot was integrated into the shot. He actually relied on his good sense of the goal position and used a heel kick to make the ball go towards the near corner of the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper finally failed to react this time and could only watch the ball with regret.

His side entered the goal.

2-1, the goal at this time is crucial, and the Portuguese team seems to have secured a ticket to the quarter-finals.

Originally, such a goal was enough for Li Zhao to become the hero of this battle, but it seemed that he was destined to fail today. Because everything that happened soon after made his winning goal completely invalid.

Of course, the Polish team would not give up. They launched a desperate counterattack in the last two or three minutes. The Portuguese team was obviously happy too early, and their defense was careless at this time.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Lewandowski broke into the penalty area and shot another shot. Although it was intercepted by the Portuguese defensive player, the defensive player did not stick to the ball.

After hesitating, before he could clear the ball, Blaszczykovsky was suddenly killed and intercepted the ball again. After the latter intercepted the ball, he decisively shot back immediately, hastily.

The Portuguese goalkeeper had no time to stop the goal.

The final score in regular time was 2-2. The Portuguese fans who had been celebrating in the stands were completely petrified at this moment. It was hard to believe that what was happening in front of them was real. Fortunately, the game would continue, and then

It didn't drive them completely crazy.

Later, the Portuguese team immediately appealed to the referee, indicating that Blaszczykovski had committed a foul on his hand, but the referee ignored it. The Portuguese team finally had to accept the fate of being tied by the opponent.

I thought that victory was in sight, but in the blink of an eye, there was still overtime. This situation somewhat damaged the morale of the Portuguese team. In the first half of overtime, they were overwhelmed by the opponent's offensive momentum.

There were even two consecutive dangers in front of the goal. If the opponent's players had not deformed their shooting movements due to reduced physical strength, they might have been counterattacked by the opponent.

Taking advantage of the short time after the first half of overtime, coach Santos quickly re-brained the players: "I know everyone is somewhat reluctant, and I feel the same way. But this kind of emotion is not good.

Yes, it has affected our performance in the game just now. But what has happened cannot be changed, so I hope everyone will stop thinking about it for the time being and treat it as if it never existed. In overtime

The half has passed. Whether you can resolve the battle in the next 15 minutes depends on your performance. I don’t want to leave the final fate to penalty kicks. Do you understand?”

The effect of these words was good. At least the Portuguese players agreed with his words. After returning to the court, their morale was boosted again.

At this point in the game, the physical fitness and endurance of both teams are almost reaching their limits. This is a test of the willpower of both sides. At this point, the Portuguese team now has the advantage.

, coupled with their current confidence recovery, the rhythm gradually returned to their own side.

Li Zhao's performance today was quite good, but his luck was still not going well after all, so he focused more on other people who could change the situation of the battle. Leonard and Quares, who had just been replaced,

The two of them have now become the new bright spots of the Portuguese team, and their activity somewhat caught the other side off guard.

Perhaps true to the phrase "good things come hard", after God teased the Portuguese team a bit before, the balance of luck finally came to their side again, and they once again seized this opportunity.

This situation is surprisingly similar to the last game, except that this time it was one minute later (i.e. the 117th minute). Li Zhao, Leonard and Ronaldo completed a fight.

It can be called a textbook cooperation. After tearing apart the opponent's defense through continuous conduction, the ball was finally given to Leonard, who cut in from the wing. The latter faced the goalkeeper and volleyed from a small angle into the far corner of the goal, turning the final score into

3-2.

After conceding the ball this time, the Polish team was unable to perform the same dramatic performance as before. The Portuguese team finally passed the risk and won the semi-finals, while the other three places ultimately belonged to Wales.

Germany and host France.
