On the afternoon of the 4th, it was still a good weather with clear weather. The Zagreb Invitational entered its 11th match day and also ushered in the last two 1/8 finals, with Mexico facing Argentina and Portugal facing China.

It's interesting that both teams Ah Zhong advanced with the best performance in the group, and they faced two teams that performed more strongly in the group stage. The trends of these two games are worth looking forward to.

Local citizens also started from the beginning without catching a cold. With the arrival of the strong confrontation in the knockout round, they gradually became interested in the international competition held at their doorstep, and the number of visitors was significantly increasing.

The Battle of Portugal-China held in Game 2 attracted about 800 spectators, and the Battle of Mexico and Afghanistan in Game 3 on the other side of the strait exceeded 1,000, which was unprecedented.

Portugal is the home team. Today they are wearing traditional reddish-brown colors, while the Chinese team chose a light yellow away uniform accordingly. After completing the pre-match preparations, they began to line up to enter the field under the leadership of the referee.

Judging from the comparison of the players entering the court, both sides also have their own characteristics.

For Chinese players, all of them have yellow skin and black hair, and their bodies tend to be symmetrical in shape, and their personality is mainly based on the rules and looks like a standard and well-behaved student;

The Portuguese players are completely different, tall, fat, thin, and all kinds of people. They are just like the United Nations conference. The players' exaggerated hairstyles and unique tattoo patterns can be seen everywhere on their bodies, which also demonstrate the ostentatious personality of the younger generation.

When entering the team, Li Weizhen was the fourth pick, behind the captain Feng Xiaoting, goalkeepers Yu Ziqian and Gao Lin, and the player against Portugal happened to be the No. 7 Ronaldo.

After watching the World Cup in France, Li Weizhen has always regarded the alien Ronaldo as his idol. At this moment, the genuine one was not seen, but instead caught a copy of it. He also developed a very strange feeling in his heart, which is indescribable.

Li Weizhen couldn't help but secretly observe Ronaldo. Unlike the Brazilo, who has rabbit teeth and is cute, this grapelo is handsome, with a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall figure and three-dimensional facial features. This handsome guy looks naturally fascinating thousands of girls.

Either because of his personality, or he has become accustomed to this hot attention, Ronaldo turned a deaf ear to the various eyes that were cast around him, thinking about things on his own, and chewing gum in his mouth, looking cold and cold as if he was not close to someone else.

This cold look of keeping people thousands of miles away made Li Weizhen disgusted. He glanced at him and did not look at him again. He muttered disdainfully: "Damn it, just pretending to be cool, who can't?"

After completing the pre-match side-finding ceremony, both sides took their place. With the referee's whistle, the battle was about to begin.

Portugal obtained the kick-off right, and the starting lineup of 442 puts forward pressure as the ball moves.

The biggest star in the team is undoubtedly their No. 7 winger Cristiano Ronaldo. The ball rights were quickly handed over to him, and immediately there was a series of dazzling super-exciting moves, such as cycling, Marseille whirlpooling, Matthews' super-exciting, etc.

The Chinese team's right forward Mao Jianqing, who was facing the match, first met, but before he could get closer, Ronaldo scored a ball with his right foot and paused slightly to the right;

Taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Mao was watching, the ball suddenly turned forward with his left toe, and he accelerated forward and passed Mao Jianqing who was stunned.

Mao Jianqing's explosive power is also among the best in the team, but it still seems pale in front of Ronaldo's sudden and rapid speed.

After successfully breaking through the midfield, Ronaldo continued to dribble the ball and advanced forward, and was soon blocked by Yuan Weiwei and Zeng Jiyao one after another.

Zhao Dayu specifically emphasized in his tactical arrangements before the game that Ronaldo's defense must limit his space to take the ball, and always maintain two defenses and one in local space, and use the advantage of the number of players to eliminate his technical advantages.

Yuan Weiwei is the right guard, he intercepts slightly, and Zeng Jiyao is the central defender, located in his left rear, strengthening the protection of the gaps in the ribs. The two of them advance and retreat together, working closely together to stop this guy.

Ronaldo was really skilled and brave. Facing this iron cage designed specifically for him, he didn't care at all. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight towards the direction of the two of them;

When he was about to approach Yuan Weiwei, he saw his feet twitching the ball back and forth with his feet, and his foot change frequency was extremely fast;

Yuan Weiwei was dazzled, but he didn't dare to step out easily. He was still observing carefully. Suddenly, he pushed the ball to the outside of his right foot and his body began to move. This was the rhythm of breaking through to the inside;

Yuan Weiwei looked at it with sincerity, and his body immediately closed the direction of his prediction. When his body moved, he knew that he had been fooled;

Seeing the opponent's center of gravity begin to move, Ronaldo was overjoyed and knocked the ball outward with his right heel. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was stunned, his body quickly bypassed the opponent from the inside, and a man-goal scored a clever way.

What's more clever is the connection after receiving the ball and the extraordinary. Zeng Jiyao behind Yuan Weiwei watched his opponent knock the ball out of the control range, and he immediately ran towards the ball, wanting to hold the ball;

But Ronaldo seemed to have seen through his thoughts and showed amazing explosive power. He instantly ran from the back to the front, crossed Zeng Jiyao, and took the lead in controlling the ball;

Before he could stop the ball to death, Ronaldo raised his right foot and made a move to pass the ball inward, which caused Zeng Jiyao to pause slightly. All he wanted was this pause. He suddenly buckled the ball to the outside and drove the ball straight to the bottom line, leaving the two Chinese players behind in an instant.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaoting, who was supplemented with the middle lane, was very focused. With his outstanding physical fitness and good explosive power, he barely forced his opponent to the side lane. With a weak pass, he broke out of the bottom line. The offensive led by this wing-passing maniac came to an end.

Just one-man shot the whole side of the Chinese team, and almost staged a one-stop show for him. This guy named Ronaldo does have two tricks.

On the surface, Portugal's strength was caused by Ronaldo's breakthrough No. 7, but insider Zhao Dayu saw it very clearly.

The team dared to let him go on the side, but in fact, because they had already laid a firm fence in the middle and strangled the hinterland of the middle, it was difficult for the opponent to penetrate their defensive zone 2, that is, the area of ​​the midfield. The only way is to move to the side;

Once the opponent's tactical center of gravity is shifted to the wing, for Portugal, they naturally want to have it because of the existence of Ronaldo, the wing maniac.

In this set of tactics, the core position of the Portuguese team is their two midfielders. Zhao Dayu also saw it in previous games. This time he truly felt the great power of these two young players.

One is called Veroso, wearing a No. 4 and playing the back midfielder; the other is called Moutinho, wearing a No. 8 and playing the front midfielder.

The two of them have extremely outstanding personal abilities. Only these two people are placed in the middle, but it is enough to suppress the entire central axis.

At the same time, the division of labor is very clear. Veroso is responsible for conducting a large-scale sweep in front of the back line, filtering out most of the opponent's offensive like a layer of screen.

As the core of the organization, Moutinho is relatively free in the frontcourt, often roaming in the frontcourt, passing balls, or interfering with interceptions, and his dribbling skills are also not inferior to Ronaldo;

It was like a nail that penetrated the opponent's half, making it impossible to ignore his existence, and thus consumed a lot of the opponent's defensive power in the midfield.

This grape is indeed toothy and can bite people. It is too fierce and not delicious!
