Iron Man on the pitch

Relying on fouls to defend and delay time comes at a price.

Although the Uruguay team cut the game in the last 10 minutes of the first half, they also received yellow cards due to fouls.

Gargano, Alvaro Pereira, Diego Perez and Cavani were warned by yellow cards for making up for defense.

At the same time, he also gave several good free kick positions to the Portuguese team, but unfortunately Ronaldo was not accurate today. After shooting four consecutive shots, Ronaldo gave up the penalty for the set piece in the frontcourt to Li Ling.

However, Li Ling seemed to be infected by Ronaldo. Although Li Ling's three free kicks were hit in the goal frame, it was a pity that he was saved by Musleira because he was too pursuing the angle because he was too slow; He was being turned away by Muslera.

In short, when the referee's whistle sounded, Portugal and Uruguay returned to their respective locker rooms with a score of 0:0.

As soon as he entered the locker room, Paul Bento asked Ronaldo and Li Ling with concern: "How are you two physically compatible?"

"I'm fine." Li Ling patted his chest easily.

"I'm OK." Ronaldo looked at Li Ling with a little surprised look, as if he was talking about why this kid was so fierce.

"It's good to hold on. I think Uruguay is keeping on guarding your players. They won't be able to hold on in the second half. Come on!"

Facing the Uruguay team's defense method of keeping people on the game, the Portuguese team chose the response method, in addition to attacking through the wing, it was to let Ronaldo and Li Ling practice long-distance running with the opponent's defensive players.

Needless to say, Li Ling's physical strength is a bit strange. Ronaldo's physical fitness reserve is also the best among the players. The two of them frantically consumed the defensive players who followed them through frequent sprints and pulls, and at the same time they created in front of the goal in Uruguay. confusion.

Once the physical fitness of the defender cannot keep up, Ronaldo and Li Ling will be able to get comfortable space to take the ball and launch a fatal attack on the Uruguay goal.

"In the second half, our tactics remain unchanged, and we continue to attack from the wing. Nani," Paul Bento looked at the thin black guy, "You can try to cut in and shoot more, if you and Simao can open the situation on the wing. , we are sure to win."

"Okay!" Nani, who was entrusted with an important task, clenched her fists.

Duan Xu'an recited the technical statistics of the half-time that had just been delivered to hand: "Today, Li Ling and Ronaldo were extremely active. In just halftime, Li Ling's running distance reached 6,600 meters, and Ronaldo's running distance was 5,000. rice."

"The Uruguayan players who are responsible for guarding Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Ling's physical fitness is no longer enough. You know, the running of Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Ling is not just running at a constant speed, but with a large number of sprints. in."

"It is said that Ronaldo and Li Ling are the two players who train the most hardest, and they are also in their respective clubs. It is precisely the strict training that has created such a strong body and can be used to confront such a high intensity Get an advantage.”

"The two most valuable players in Portugal are so diligent on the court, and this spirit is moving. I think under the guidance of them, Portugal will gain a huge advantage in the second half and turn the advantage into a victory. , I just don't know if the Uruguay team can come up with a solution."

The second half begins.

The progress of the game is exactly the same as the first half, and the Portuguese team still made great progress through two sides; Uruguay team could only barely organize a decent offense, and more opportunities would be to go through long shots. Threatening the goal of Portugal.

With the 10 minutes after the first half and the 15-minute buffering of the halftime break, Rios and Victorino's physical fitness has recovered a lot.

It’s not that they didn’t have enough physical fitness to last for 90 minutes, but that in the process of keeping close to Ronaldo and Li Ling, there were too many sprints and runs that suddenly accelerated compared to the usual games.

According to what Rios said to the team doctor during the break, his own sprint in the first half was almost as good as the running distance of the usual three games. He often had to breathe before he could breathe well, so he had to lift his breath and follow Li Ling. Running back and forth is too much consumption.

"Li Ling is such a beast!"

"The same is true for Ronaldo, these two perverts!" Victorino nodded in agreement.

In the second half, they will continue to suffer from the torture of Ronaldo and Li Ling.

However, before the two brothers' legs were broken, other players' defenses had problems first.

The 61st minute of the second half.

Nani dribbled the ball on the right and scored it with a man, broke through Cáceres' defense and broke into the penalty area.

Because Ronaldo and Li Ling both pulled to the left of the goal and took away two defensive players, Uruguay was at this timeThe only player who came to the team to defend was Godin. In the first half, Godin defended Nani's four breakthroughs, and he felt that he had a lot of experience in dealing with Nani.

However, Nani changed his playing style. He no longer sought to cross, but simply shook the angle and shot near the corner.

Musleira, who performed bravely in the first half, responded in a timely manner, but his thinking inertia was still that Nani would pass the ball to Ronaldo and Li Ling, so his position was deviated. Therefore, although Muslera's finger touched the football in the end, it still could not change the ending of the football flying into the goal.

Nani ran to the sidelines happily and roared to the sky.

Duan Xu'an began his commentary: "1:0! Portugal's Nani scored the first record for the team, breaking the deadlock on the court!"

"The Portugal's offensive firepower was very fierce in this World Cup, but their offensive core was always Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Ling. In this game, Uruguay chose the defense of the whole game to target the man and vowed to lock C. Luo and Li Ling, this makes the Portuguese offense extremely difficult. "

"Fortunately, another player in the Portuguese team finally stood up. After completing a series of beautiful outings, Nani succeeded in the close quarters, opening up the situation for the Portuguese team."

"We can see that it was Li Ling who moved to the left of the penalty area and took away Rios who should have been in this position, which gave Nani a one-on-one opportunity with Goding."

"The Uruguay team is difficult to deal with now. Do they still need to continue their previous defensive strategies?"

The Portuguese team, which led 1:0, was not in a hurry to attack. Under the command of Paul Bento, all the players retreated, leaving only one Ronaldo near the center line, ready to defend and counterattack.

This time, Uruguay's team was even more uncomfortable. The front line, whose strength was greatly reduced due to the suspension of the red card, could not find a breakthrough for a while when facing the iron barrel formation placed by Portugal.

But I had to press it down.

However, Li Ling, who retreated to the front of his penalty area, was much easier to get the ball than at the front of Uruguay's penalty area. Once Li Ling got the football, he could easily send a deadly pass forward to help Ronaldo complete the counterattack.

In order to stop Li Ling's long pass counterattack, Rios and Cáceres each received a yellow card; Victorino also received a yellow card in order to prevent Ronaldo from fouling the ball.

This put Uruguay's defense on the verge of collapse.
