Football No. 10: God's Perspective - Chapter 295 Strong promotion
An effective attack by the Japanese team put the Portuguese team, which had the advantage on the field, into a passive situation.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed scoring opportunities continuously, seemed a little frustrated and annoyed.
During the half-time break, head coach Santos focused on massaging the players’ mental state. After all, both in terms of the field and tactics, the Portuguese team played what they wanted, but unfortunately, they did not seize the shooting opportunity.
“Keep a stable mentality and don’t be anxious. We will have many scoring opportunities in the second half.”
Santos.
…
It finally came out after much anticipation.
At the beginning of the second half, the Portuguese team made substitutions. Head coach Santos made substitutions and Wang Po took the field.
Suddenly, the whole football field was boiling.
Although the team was behind in the score, the fans of the Portuguese team were still excited when they saw Wang Po on the field.
“Hey, finally the secret weapon is going to be used. Is the Japanese team ready?”
“The good show is about to begin.”
“It seems that Santos is also getting anxious.”
…
Undoubtedly, Wang Po’s appearance gave many people great expectations.
Santos arranged Wang Po’s position as a central midfielder, which can not only take into account defense, but also provide ammunition for Felix, Ronaldo, Guedes and others in the frontcourt.
The effect of Wang Po’s appearance was immediate. The small and fast Japanese team had no advantage in front of him, whether it was speed, ball control, or vision.
Facing the pursuit and interception of the three midfielders of the Japanese team, Wang Po strolled through the blockade of the opponent’s midfield, dribbled into the penalty area, faced Yoshida Maya’s frontal interception, pulled the ball horizontally with the sole of his foot, shook him to the ground, dodged the gap for shooting, and scored with a volley from one step away from the penalty area line.
1 to 1.
Wang Po completed his first goal for the Portuguese national team and successfully helped the team equalize the score.
Let’s get high.
The Portuguese fans were all smiling with excitement.
It was only 2 minutes before the start of the second half.
After the change of sides, Wang Po completely controlled the midfield, and the Japanese team’s defense was completely useless, and repeatedly became a background board.
Inui Takashi’s pulling and dragging did not put Wang Po on the ground. Instead, he carried the Japanese midfield and made a precise through ball to give the killer Cristiano Ronaldo, who was on the front line, a chance to shoot half a goal.
This time, Ronaldo did not waste the opportunity again. He shot the ball with a burst of force, venting the depression in the first half and helping the team to overtake the score.
2 to 1.
After scoring, Ronaldo pointed at Wang Po, ran to the corner area, and made a signature celebration.
The uniform “siu” sound throughout the stadium brought a tremor to the soul.
The defender of the Japanese team shook his head in frustration, and could feel the Portuguese players with the momentum of wanting to eat people.
In the following game time, Portugal compressed the three lines of Japan into the third defensive zone. No matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of the situation of being besieged.
The Portuguese players were excited. All kinds of imaginative passing and receiving made the audience enjoy the sight.
There was also a goal.
In the 81st minute of the game, Wang Pei made a pass from his back to Ronaldo who was in the penalty area. After unloading the ball, the latter resisted the defensive player behind him and knocked the ball with his heel, making the goalkeeper of the Japanese team unable to react and the ball went in.
3 to 1.
Ronaldo scored twice, and the sound of “siu” sounded.
Then, head coach Santos made a substitution adjustment and replaced the 41-year-old Ronaldo. An old man in the family is like a treasure. The old Ronaldo now has to be used sparingly. After all, this kind of cup competition is intensive, and the time given to the players to adjust their status is limited, especially in the knockout stage, which is even more continuous. If one step is wrong, the whole game will be lost. There is no chance of error at all. The only way to give the players a chance to rest and adjust is through the group stage.
Even so, the Portuguese team led by Wang Po had no intention of stopping the attack. After Ronaldo left the field, Santos put Wang Po in the center position.
Injury time.
B-Silva’s 45-degree long pass found Wang Po who cut into the penalty area. The latter shot directly without stopping the ball, and the ball flew into the upper corner of the goal.
4 to 1.
It only took 45 minutes for the Portuguese team to reverse the 1-4 deficit. With the guarantee of strong players and hard power, the reversal is so simple.
Portugal got off to a good start in the first game.
In the next game, they will face the Greek myth as a guest team.
This team once created miracles, but the current Greek team is not the Greek team at the beginning. Creating miracles? Almost impossible.
The game is also developing in this direction.
Before the game, the Portuguese generals and coaches were ready for a hard fight, but in the first half, Ronaldo scored twice early, allowing the team to take a two-goal lead. At the beginning of the second half, the Greek team did not organize a threatening counterattack.
In the 70th minute of the game, Santos waved the flag, and Wang Po and Ronaldo clocked out early.
2-0, a smooth victory over the opponent.
Portugal won both games and ranked first in the group with six points.
In the third round of the group stage of Group C, Portugal will face the last opponent of the group, Chile from South America.
This can be regarded as a strong team in America, especially during the peak period of Sanchez and Vidal, the team won the America’s Cup championship consecutively.
American teams have a lot of small moves in the game, and most of them are bad moves, which is annoying. This is also a point that Portugal coach Santos emphasized to the players before the game.
Two consecutive wins in the group stage have ensured Portugal’s qualification for the World Cup knockout stage. This game will determine who is the first in the group.
The victory made the Portuguese players particularly relaxed, and they took the lead in entering the rhythm of the game at the beginning of the game.
Facing the excited Portuguese team, Chile was not well prepared.
Wang Pei took the lead in opening the goal account for the team.
The iconic super world wave penetrated the ten fingers of the Chilean goalkeeper.
1 to 0.
Ten minutes later, Wang Pei burst into speed in a small range on the wing, forced to use speed to cut into the penalty area, and scored with a low shot with his left foot.
2 to 0.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Ronaldo received a cross from B Fee on the wing and scored with a header.
3 to 0.
The suspense of the game ended in the first half, and Santos let two core players, Wang Po and C Ronaldo, clock out early.
After all, in the more severe and cruel knockout rounds, the two of them are the main strength of the team.
In the end, Portugal won the first place in the group stage with three consecutive wins in the group stage.
Their knockout opponents will be the Tulip Netherlands team from Europe.
The rise of the young generation has made the uncrowned king of the Netherlands team have a certain competitiveness. In the recent European Cup, they reached the semi-finals. Wang Po’s former teammate in Ajax is the main core player of this team.
