Football No. 10: God's Perspective - Chapter 302 Final
The final is a nameless game, this is not just a casual remark.
The first half was full of fragmented situations, both sides were fighting wits and courage with each other, and both adopted a stable way to play.
For both teams, no one can take it lightly, and losing the ball is an abyss of no return.
During the half-time break, the head coaches of both teams made deployments for defense at the same time. In fact, both sides were ready for overtime and penalty shootouts before the start of the game.
The second half of the game continued the scene of the first half, and it was extremely tense. There was no decent offensive organization.
In the 71st minute of the game, the French team had a chance to score. The Portuguese central defender Dipu misjudged the high ball, and Mbappe used his speed to quickly get the ball and got a single opportunity.
“It’s over.”
Watching the French sports car dribbling into the penalty area like a whirlwind, at this moment, for all Portuguese fans, the world is dark, the whole person is like being struck by lightning, with a look of pain on his face. If this time period is abandoned, it is basically out of the championship.
Even though his idol is Ronaldo and Wang Pu is the club boss, Mbappe did not waste the scoring opportunity that was within reach. He scored through the goalkeeper’s small door.
1-0.
The French team scored first, and this goal brought them one step closer to achieving the fifth star on their chest.
French fans were boiling.
Humans’ joys and sorrows are not the same.
On the Portuguese side, the despair was visible to the naked eye, and many players began to lose their eyes.
Wang Pu ran to the net as soon as possible and put the ball on the arc of the center circle to save a little time. He wanted to win the game. What was the purpose of overcoming all the obstacles? Isn’t it just the championship? Since they are on the stage of the final, they have a chance to win the championship. There is still time and they can’t give up.
“Now is not the time to cry. Cowards are not worthy of being champions.”
Cristiano Ronaldo clapped his hands and encouraged his teammates.
This extremely competitive guy has a natural desire for victory and championships. In this respect, he is highly similar to Wang Pu.
Led by the two core players and leaders, the players of the Portuguese team regrouped, picked up their lost mood, and continued to devote themselves to the remaining time of the game.
It was time to fight hard. The gap of 1 goal was not big or small, but it must be said that there was really not much time left for the Portuguese team.
After taking the lead in the score, the French team began to take the initiative to recover the defense line and played a defensive counterattack, which was also a tactic that the star-studded French team was best at.
There was absolute crushing strength, but it was to get the results they wanted in the most economical way.
This is the French team, and it is also the secret of his continuous defense of the World Cup title, super personnel configuration, and cautious tactical design.
For the Portuguese team, they are already standing on the edge of the cliff. In the few remaining times, if they want to keep the hope of the championship, all they have to do is to attack desperately.
Wang Po gave up his defensive duties and began to control the ball a lot. Unfortunately, the French team was impeccable in both tactical design and personnel configuration.
It is extremely difficult to score points against such a team with proper personnel configuration and tactics.
However, out of the desire for the championship, Wang Po and C Ronaldo took the lead, accelerated the rhythm of attack, and deployed defense in the frontcourt.
Portugal is desperate.
Time is running out, and the time left for Portugal is getting less and less.
In order to ensure the movement of the ball, midfielders such as Pogba and Kante also participated in the ball receiving in the backcourt.
After several robberies and blockades, the Portuguese team not only failed to intercept the ball, but also wasted their physical strength.
The game has entered the final injury time, 3 minutes of regular stoppage time, no more, no less, the situation has become extremely serious.
Portugal has reached the most critical moment.
Finally, in the first minute of stoppage time, Cristiano’s pressing finally worked.
Successfully intercepted Pogba’s transfer ball and switched from defense to offense on the spot.
Looking up, he was the only one in the frontcourt. After continuous dribbling, he was about to fall into the defensive “pocket” of the French team’s back line. Would the hard-won player be lost like this? At the critical moment, Wang Po rushed out and made a subtle cut to create a passing space for Ronaldo.
Such a space pull only lasted for a moment.
But as the top player, he seized this fleeting opportunity. He pushed the ball to Wang Po, who entered the penalty area and formed a single knife. He shot the ball with his hand.
Wang Po did not have any weakness in this ball and shot it into the net.
1 to 1.
When the Portuguese team needed a savior to stand up, Wang Po appeared.
This time the score was a connection between the two “saviors” of Portugal.
The French coach Deschamps on the sidelines was furious. They were just a little bit away. They were very close to defending the World Cup championship. However, Wang Po messed up the award ceremony they had obtained.
The Portuguese team was boiling with excitement. Everyone was releasing the frustration they had suppressed for 90 minutes at this moment.
The fans in the stadium shouted Wang Po’s name.
All over Portugal, the cheers of fans celebrating were everywhere.
There was still time and opportunity. Wang Po kept the hope of winning the championship for them.
“Beep”
The referee blew the whistle to end the regular time game, the game was tied, and the two sides immediately entered the brutal overtime.
After a short water replenishment, the players of both sides returned to the court.
The first half of the overtime began.
The French team returned to the same starting line, and the Portuguese team became more cautious, and no one dared to attack rashly.
In this situation where physical strength is already scarce, focusing on defense is undoubtedly the most profitable tactic.
The first half of the overtime ended quickly, and neither side organized any decent offense.
It was boring and tense.
The second half of the game started soon.
Whether it was Wang Po or C Ronaldo on the Portuguese team, they were looking for loopholes in the French team’s defense line, hoping to give the opponent a fatal blow in overtime.
Finally, in the 117th minute of the game, Wang Po finally seized the opportunity.
He predicted in advance and intercepted the ball at Griezmann’s feet, and passed it to Felix with a long pass. After getting the ball, he accelerated to sprint down the bottom.
Although Ronaldo, who was lying in ambush in the middle, had cramps at this time, he still endured it and tried his best to get into the French team’s penalty area.
He used all his strength to cross the ball from the bottom, jumped high, and headed for the goal.
Unfortunately, the ball was fast enough and the angle was too straight, so the French goalkeeper punched it out of the penalty area.
At this time, such a threatening shot scared everyone, and in a hurry, the French goalkeeper made a fatal mistake.
