Chapter 117: The old problem is committed
Santos is not an indecisive person, otherwise he would not have worked as the coach of Portugal for so long and led Portugal to achieve such good results.
With a shake of his hand, he pointed at Jo Mario, and soon Mario came on the court to replace Moutinho. Bruno also came up to replace Guedes.
Although Santos doesn't want to replace people so quickly, since Dong Fangzhuo has changed, he still has to deal with it, otherwise he will suffer too much physical loss. Of course, his tactics will not change, because Dong Fangzhuo has not changed either. He still has only one idea, to withstand the Chinese team's attack and seize the opportunity to counterattack.
But he didn't dare to move the third substitution quota. He had to leave a substitution quota to ensure that the team would not fight one less due to injuries. He was not crazy enough to Dong Fangzhuo.
In the fight again, the Chinese team's two sides were still suppressing, and Portugal was defending. The crazy speed made both sides fly sand and rocks, and the people were overturned. The 30-year-old Feng Renliang was still not old and played the ball on the side with ease, which made Guerrero miserable and soon got a yellow card.
"Feng,"
“He was the hero of the last World Cup,”
"If it weren't for the injury, he would have always been the starter of the Chinese team. Seeing how he took the ball reminded me of Robben. Although he was not as strong as Robben, every move he made very reasonable. Guerrero is in trouble now. If Feng continues to rush to him with speed, he may have to get cards. Santos seems to have never thought about changing him, but the Chinese team's tactics are very targeted and he has always wanted to break their defense."
Of course, Santos discovered the problem, but he still didn't want to use the third place to replace him, it was still early.
Unexpectedly, five minutes later, Yang Liyu also got another yellow card from the side, and Cedric and Guerrero both got the cards, which was equivalent to half of the two arms of Portugal's, which was quite dangerous.
Ronaldo kept wavering in the midfield, signaling his teammates to boldly attack. The team retreated too far and Portugal could hardly make any beautiful attacks. Ronaldo often participated in defense in the midfield and backcourt, and almost forgot to attack.
"Before the game, we all said that China is the oldest team in the World Cup, but where is the oldest now? All the players on the court are strong. Maybe Portugal will be dragged down."
After another attack failed, Dong Fangzhuo personally drove the ball to the frontcourt. Fonte and Pepe maintained depth one by one. In the end, Mario intercepted Dong Fangzhuo from the side. However, Mario failed to pass the ball well, and the pass was too obvious. Wu Xi slipped the ball in the middle and immediately handed it to Zhang Xizhe after getting up. Zhang Xizhe did not dare to stick the ball, so he directly picked it to Feng Renliang in front. Feng Renliang stopped and directly wiped the timid Guerrero, and then sent a half-high ball with his left foot!
With a shout, the ball rushed into the Portugal penalty area. Although Fonte stretched out his legs to block it, he was still half a beat slower. Fortunately, there was still Pepe. Pepe kicked the ball out of the baseline before Dong Fangzhuo, and it was another corner kick from the Chinese team.
Pepe quickly bent down and took a breath. He was so old that he still had to work so hard, so he was really exhausted. After he finished his breath, he quickly went to find someone to guard him, and Dong Fangzhuo had already stood at the corner flag and was about to serve the corner kick.
"Pepe's physical fitness is probably a problem. At this age, he is still playing in such a difficult final, which is difficult for him."
"But he is still the most trusted central defender in Portugal, and no one can replace him."
The corner kick was taken, and it was Pepe who pushed the ball out. He perfectly interpreted the role of a world-class central defender. When B-shi got the ball, he immediately pushed it to Felix! Felix's legs were also full of strength and speed. He rushed up with the ball at full speed. Wu Xi shoveled on the side but didn't even hit the shovel. Yang Liyu flew to pull the tail of his shirt and didn't pull it.
Soon Felix dribbled the ball through the midfield, and only Wang Gang and Zhang Linpeng could stop him. The two of them always surround each other. If they can't handle him, the Chinese team's defense line will probably be broken.
However, the 33-year-old Ronaldo rushed up in the middle, with Feng Renliang beside him. The two of them refused to give in to each other and crossed the midfield, but Feng Renliang was always half slowing down, and Ronaldo was ahead.
Felix also observed Ronaldo's running position in his eyes. But he gritted his teeth and stabbed it straight. Although Wang Gang knew that he was going to do this, he was still half a beat slower when starting. Felix easily caught up with the ball at the left bottom line. When Wang Gang rushed over, he calmly used his left foot to directly let Wang Gang rush out of the bottom line.
When Zhang Linpeng came over, Felix pushed the ball near the penalty spot. Ronaldo rushed up with big strodes, never letting Feng Renliang take a stake of the position.
"It's over, it's over!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
Seeing Ronaldo kicking the ball with his right foot, everyone felt that he was going to be finished at this moment.
At the critical moment, Feng Renliang released a shovel from the right back!
He is really brave!
Too adventure!
If you are not careful, it will be a foul.
A bang! The sound was so crisp, and his right foot just blocked the ball! He successfully stopped Ronaldo's shot.
C Luo immediately fell forward on the turf, and then hugged his right ankle with pain.
"Is it a foul?"
"Is there a foul on this ball?"
"I won't be awarded a penalty, are you?"
Tackles from the back from the side are quite dangerous and can generally be divided into several situations.
Scoop the ball, but no one touched - good ball
After tackled the ball, he encountered someone by the way. The referee believed that the movement was not hasty, not reckless, and did not use too much force - a good ball.
When tackled, you will first touch the person before touching the ball. The purpose is on the ball, not on the person - an ordinary foul, directly free kick
When tackled, you will first encounter someone before touching the ball. The purpose is on the person rather than on the ball - yellow card + direct free kick
Dangerous tackle movements, flying both feet, tackle behind the back, etc. Tackle tackles that endanger the opponent's safety, but no one was tackled, and the yellow card was given;
Tackle down, red card tackle is a skilled action in football matches, and the specifications of the action cannot endanger the opponent's safety. That is, the direction, strength, height of the tackle foot, etc. are limited. The specific penalty depends on the situation at that time.
At this time, the referee also lost his judgment. He stopped the game and prepared to see Var, but at this time, the Portuguese players had already surrounded him and asked him for a penalty. They pointed at Ronaldo who was lying on the turf and complained.
The referee still pushed them away firmly and walked off the court.
This kind of controversy must be found in var, this is the World Cup final!
The TV broadcasting lens is also constantly replayed.
"No foul, right?"
"It probably didn't touch Ronaldo's feet."
"There is absolutely no problem, this is definitely not a penalty."
"It's just a fall by inertia."
"Or, Ronaldo has dived, it's an old problem."
"The referee should be able to see clearly in Var."
Everyone was anxious and waiting.
This time, the referee watched Var's camera for a long time, for nearly a minute.
Finally, when he walked out, he gestured with his hands crossed and pointed to the bottom line.
"Goal!"
Chapter completed!
