Iron Man on the pitch

When Portugal began to use ball control tactics and fell in the backcourt, the Spanish players also felt endless torture.

The ball-control tactics used by the Portuguese team are different from those of the Spanish team. They simply control the ball to kill time. Although the Spanish team's players are generally more capable than Portuguese players, Li Ling, who cannot withstand the top abilities, often retreats to respond.

Pepe stopped the ball and stopped too much. Villa rushed straight to Pepe's right foot. Pepe was not panicked, but in a hurry, he could only pass the football to Bruno Alves, and Fernando Llorente was just at the distance. Not far from Bruno Alves.

Faced with the pressing, Bruno Alves was a little panicked, and the football passed to the left was less powerful, forcing Coentran to kick the football out. But even so, Iniesta, who rushed over, still encountered football and changed the direction of football.

Raul Merelles and Fabregas rushed to football together, but there was a figure faster than them.

Li Ling, who rushed towards football with Busquets, took the lead and knocked back his heel, passing the football to Joao Moutinho.

Busquets may have left a psychological shadow when he collided with Li Ling before, and his body tilted to avoid Li Ling. But Fabregas, who couldn't stop the car, collided with Li Ling firmly.

Fortunately, both of them did a good job of protecting, and they quickly patted their butts and stood up from the lawn and rushed to their position.

After Joao Moutinho got the ball, he found that Nani was retreating and asked for the ball, so he passed it straight and passed it over.

Nani faced his goal and looked at the football coming, she found that Jesus Navas had come behind him. Nani made a false move of dribbling the ball horizontally, but she let her feet go without touching the football.

The uninterrupted football continued to roll forward along the original trajectory. Nani quickly turned around, started quickly, and chased after him. At this time, Jesus Navas discovered that Nani had given him a handicap, and he was foolishly left behind.

However, Jesus Navas' speed was not slow either. He quickly started and chased Nani, and finally stopped Nani in the penalty area line.

At this time, the Portuguese team only had Ronaldo and Nani in the frontcourt. Joao Moutinho, the closest to them, was still near the center circle. Nani found that his situation was very awkward, and he made up his mind and accelerated forward. Then he stopped urgently, pulled the football back, and passed it to Ronaldo who was running towards him.

Before Ronaldo received the ball, he found Xavi and Puyol were attacking him from the rear and right. He did not choose to break through hard, but knocked the ball back to Joao Moutinho, and at the same time he went into the penalty area. Run away.

Joao Moutinho made a pass across the ball without stopping, while Li Ling also made a pass over the top.

In order to fill the loopholes left by Puyol's forward move, right back Ramos took the initiative to move to the middle lane, but Fabregas, who was supposed to rotate in the past, was not a professional defensive player after all, and his awareness of filling up the position was slightly worse. Half a step slower.

Miguel Veroso, who had been in front of him, arrived, caught up with Li Ling's long pass, and passed the ball to the goal with one kick.

Ronaldo had bypassed the defense of Puyol and Ramos and came to the route of football. Before Casillas saved the ball, he poked it.

The entire Football City Stadium became silent in an instant, and then a huge sigh rang out.

Although Ronaldo avoided Casillas' blockage, he hit the post because he was too pursuing the angle and bounced out.

Pique flew up and kicked the football forward before Miguel Veroso rushed over.

Ronaldo, sitting on the lawn, beat the earth in annoyance.

Casillas, whose heart almost jumped out of his throat, breathed a sigh of relief.

The Spanish team won the ball and continued to organize the offense.

Villa shot from a long shot at the corner of the penalty area, the angle was too straight. Although Eduardo failed to save, he quickly hugged the football; Xavi shot from a long shot at the front of the penalty area, although the angle was good, but his strength was insufficient and he could not cause any threat; Bregasla cooperated with Iniesta to get a space and crossed it to the penalty area. Unfortunately, Llorent's header missed the post.

The Portugal also got several good counterattack opportunities.

Nani dribbled the ball and broke through the defense of Jesus Navas, and the last small-angle shot was saved by Casillas; Ronaldo made a long shot outside the penalty area, and the football flew out of the baseline against the crossbar. .

During this period, the most threatening shot of the Portuguese team was Li Ling's ultra-long-distance hoop.

Portugal intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Li Ling cooperated with the retracement Ronaldo and was attached to the center circleWhen he approached the football, he took a look at Casillas' position and when the football landed and bounced up, he kicked it hard under the football.

The football drew a wonderful arc across the half and slowly fell towards the Spanish goal.

Casillas struggled to chase back, but he was sad to find that he couldn't reach the football even if he jumped.

Unfortunately, the last landing point of the football was actually the crossbar of the goal. After hitting the crossbar, the football bounced upwards and flew out of the bottom line.

The Football City Stadium was once again filled with regretful sighs.

In the 25 minutes since the opening of the second half, Spain was attacking Portugal for most of the time. However, because of the changes in the Spanish team's lineup, the Portuguese counterattack threatened greater. The Spanish team could only rely on the personal abilities of the defenders to conduct gambling defense to cut off the Portuguese counterattack.

Fortunately, Spain was lucky in the second half. Every time the three defenders judged the fake moves of Ronaldo and Nani, they guessed the direction correctly, which was the only way to escape the danger again and again.

In the end, the Spanish team's luck condensed the fruits of success.

In the 72nd minute of the game, it happened to be the halftime break. The two Portuguese midfielders, João Moutinho and Raul Merreles, had a period of physical exhaustion. As the poorer side, they could only By running and fighting harder, we can make up for our technical shortcomings.

Li Ling understood and tried his best to make up for their loopholes.

The Spanish team also saw their problem, so they never created a chance to kill the ball, which made them unable to get out of the field, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on their defense zone.

Joao Moutinho made a rash robbery, allowing Iniesta to complete the stop and stop. Raul Mereles, who came to defend, was also in a hurry and rushing to release the shovel, but was beaten by Iran. Nesta stepped on the ball and hid.

Central defender Pepe must make up for defense, and Iniesta passed the ball to Pepe.

Jesus Navas, who was in the front from the left back position, suddenly appeared there and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Another central defender, Bruno Alves, had to give up Lorent beside him and pounce.

But Jesus Navas gently picked the football and crossed Bruno Alves' head.

Llorente jumped straight up and headed the ball into Portugal's goal with a powerful header.

Goalkeeper Eduardo had no time to react.

1:2! Spain scored a point.

After scoring the goal, Llorente did not celebrate any way, rushed into the goal and picked up the football and returned to the center circle.
