As the final quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia entered the first half, the Fisht Olympic Stadium became more and more frenzied, as the confrontations between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo became more and more frequent, attracting The fans in the audience burst into cheers one after another.

If Tang Zheng suppresses Cristiano Ronaldo on the defensive end, then Cristiano Ronaldo will cause trouble to Tang Zheng when the Chinese team attacks, especially when the Chinese team's regular scoring method is set-piece attack, which will cause even more trouble. big.

As the confrontations between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo became more frequent, the commentators in the on-site commentary box became more and more excited, eloquent and ecstatic.

Fans sitting in front of the TV hope to see not only the game, but also the battle between former Real Madrid teammates Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As one of the top three teams in world football today, their clashes are always so easy to attract attention.

However, as the game came to the end of the first half, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides began to slow down consciously, paying more attention to their respective defenses to avoid conceding goals.

The most likely time periods for goals in football matches are divided into the beginning of the first half, the end of the first half, the beginning of the second half and the end of the second half.

There have been countless cases in the past, so no one wants their team to become a case again.

Due to the long net time of the first half, the injury time was only one minute.

Just after one minute of injury time, the referee Sandro Ricci blew his whistle to declare the end of the first half.

"The first half is over! The Chinese team and the Portuguese team fought 0:0!" At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of CC5, said with excitement: "In the entire first half of the game, most of the attention of both sides was on defense. Therefore, the offense has no achievements. However, this World Cup has reached the quarter-finals, and neither the Chinese team nor the Portuguese team can afford to lose, because losing means elimination. No one knows whether they will be able to do it four years later. Participate in the World Cup..."

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV are somewhat sad. From the World Cup in Brazil four years ago to the World Cup in Russia, Chinese football is no longer the laughing stock of the world. It can even be said to be the pride of the entire Asia.

It has advanced to the quarterfinals in two consecutive World Cups, and both promotions relied on the team's overall strength.

Brazil lost to the Netherlands on penalty kicks in the World Cup and missed the semi-finals. Russia had a close match with Portugal in the World Cup. There is great hope to go one step further and tie the best result of an Asian team in the World Cup created by the South Korean team in the World Cup in Korea and Japan.

Of course, the results of the Korean team in that World Cup were not recognized by the world, but the Chinese team still wanted to create the best results in Asia when they were in the best condition!

Advance to the semifinals?

No!

if possible!

Then it’s the final!

After defeating Portugal, the team they faced was England, a team that could not be said to be favorites to win the championship.

It can be defeated!

But... the prerequisite is to defeat Portugal!

The on-site director's close-ups showed the key players one after another as the two sides walked towards the players' tunnel, pushing them to facial close-ups.

As the captains and biggest players of both sides, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo naturally received special attention from the on-site director.

They are handsome and unrestrained on the surface, seemingly unaffected by the competition, but in fact...

Who knows?

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Tang Zheng wants to consolidate his No. 1 spot in the world, while Cristiano Ronaldo wants to return to No. 1 in the world.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were competing against each other, also gave the fans at the scene and in front of the TV a wonderful first half.

It is a pity that the score did not change, and the two sides entered the locker room with a score of 0:0.

※※※

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and both teams returned to the court one after another. It is worth mentioning that neither side made any adjustments to their starting lineups. It was obvious that the head coaches of both sides were very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half. .

"Beep~"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

With the whistle of Sandro Ricci, the referee on duty, the second half of the last quarter-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia officially began, and the fans in the stands made huge cheers.

The beginning of the second half was much faster than the first half, and the Chinese team, which had a kick-off advantage, consciously strengthened its offense.

In less than a minute, the Chinese team completed a high-quality long-range shot from Lu Liang, forcing Patricio to make a key save.

Half a minute later, the Portuguese team retaliated. Bernardo Silva received a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo and hit the inside of the right wing of the attack to test Yan Junling's reaction in front of the goal.

No one expected that less than two minutes into the second half, both sides actually contributed a very exciting shot.

You must know that the number of shots contributed by both sides in the entire first half was only five times, and one hit one side of the goal.

In other words, in less than two minutes of the second half, the number of shots on goal by both sides was more than that of the entire first half. Although the data cannot represent the entire first half, it can at least show that neither side is willing to enter overtime and would rather play in regular time. The battle will be over within ninety minutes!

In addition, the head coaches of both sides have also changed significantly. They went from sitting more in the coaching bench in the first half to now standing in their respective coaching areas.

Three of the four teams have advanced to the semi-finals, and they all want to hold the final semi-final spot in their own hands.

With Lu Liang and Bernardo Silva sounding the alarm, the Chinese team and the Portuguese team began to focus on defense again.

But both sides of the game focus more on the offense, because the defense can only remain undefeated, but the offense can win the championship!

Cristiano Ronaldo is the core of the Portuguese team's counterattack and is heavily targeted by the Chinese team. Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo is very smart and takes the initiative to create opportunities for his teammates as a cover.

There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo's attraction is quite obvious.

Guedes' shot in the 49th minute even surrendered to Yan Junling, but the goalpost saved the Chinese team.

"Oh~ It was so thrilling! The Chinese team escaped!"

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV could hear He Wei's frightened exclamations.

But there is a saying that is right, you can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you cannot escape the fifteenth grade!

Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball on the left to attract the attention of Zhang Linpeng and Tang Zheng and quickly passed the ball out. Moutinho transferred the long pass to the right back Ricardo Pereira, who stopped the ball and made slight adjustments. , and then made a pass.

Jiang Zhipeng stretched out his foot and his friend touched the football, which flew towards the center of the penalty area.

Guedes, who had wasted many opportunities in the previous games, moved very strangely and flashed in front of Feng Xiaoting to complete the lion's head.

Goalkeeper Yan Junling spotted the ball and it was too late to make a judgment. Before he could completely take off the ball, it hit the near corner of the goal.

"Goooooooooooal——"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly lengthened, and then he said hysterically: "Gonzalo Guedes helped Portugal break the deadlock! Now the balance of the game is broken!"

Martin Taylor was leaning toward the Chinese team because of Tang Zheng, but he knew he should remain objective now and smiled: "The balance has been broken. I hope the next games will become more and more exciting! I think..."

Just as the broadcast screen showed Tang Zheng, who looked helpless, Martin Taylor changed his voice: "Portugal is already leading. Although Cristiano Ronaldo did not directly participate in the attack, his involvement is very obvious. It can be said that without his efforts There is no Portuguese lead, so what will Tang do next? Use his super personal ability to complete the fatal blow? Let us wait and see!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the absolute leader of Portugal. It can be said that Portugal without Ronaldo will drop at least two levels, but..." CC5 commentator He Wei was quite helpless. Then he saw Tang Zheng on the broadcast screen, and his voice changed. Two times higher: "But we have Tang Zheng! The undisputed number one player in today's football! I believe he will lead the Chinese team to victory!"

The Portuguese fans at the Fisht Olympic Stadium were as excited as children, dancing and expressing their presence.

If this game ends according to the current score, Portugal will return to the semi-finals of the World Cup after 52 years!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had high hopes from Portuguese fans, consciously looked at Tang Zheng after celebrating with his teammates. He was disappointed. Tang Zheng did not look at him at all. Instead, he motivated his teammates with high spirits and incited their emotions. .

"Aren't you going to admit defeat yet?"

The corners of Cristiano Ronaldo's mouth raised slightly, encouraging himself in his heart: "Then... kill the game!"

For most of the past game, Cristiano Ronaldo has been holding back and holding back his energy.

As the Chinese team falls behind, they will definitely increase their offense and ignore defense. This... is the opportunity he has been waiting for!

※※※

The Portuguese fans at the Fisht Olympic Stadium cheered heartily, creating waves of cheers, but the Chinese fans were not as sad as they imagined, and they still cheered without sparing any effort.

These lovely Chinese fans know that falling behind is only temporary.

Isn’t there a saying in world football?

The football match was just a temporary lead for the opponent, but did Tang Zheng win the match?

Chinese fans believe that the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng will have the last laugh!

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee Sandro Ricci, the game restarted. The Chinese team took the lead in launching a wave of offensive. Tang Zheng was obviously in a better position, closer to Hao Junmin, and participated in the offensive organization in the frontcourt.

There is no doubt that such changes will cause the Chinese team to expose some problems in the process of switching from offense to defense.

But Tang Zheng has a strong ability to read the game. While he was distracted by the offensive organization, he did not forget the possible problems that might arise.

As the captain on the field, he is very qualified and adjusts the position of his teammates through gestures from time to time.

As the Chinese team strengthens its offense, it is naturally difficult to take care of its defense. Cristiano Ronaldo returns to the role of terminator when the team switches from defense to offense.

The end pass of Portugal's attack was none other than Cristiano Ronaldo!

However, Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, adjusted quickly. When the defense was lagging behind, he did not need to pay too much attention to Cristiano Ronaldo. He only needed to strengthen his counterattack immediately after losing the ball.

The Portuguese players' foot skills are not particularly good, so they were uncomfortable facing the sudden high pressure from the Chinese team.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not yet become a fish in water, is very helpless. He thinks that he can help the team expand the score when the Chinese team strengthens its offense. In fact, he thinks too much.

Portuguese head coach Santos, standing on the sidelines, frowned. He was wondering...if he should make substitutions.

The switch from defense to offense should have been an opportunity for Portugal to expand the score, but now it seems that it is not like that. Instead, it may be a scoring opportunity for the Chinese team from offense to defense to defense to offense.

In the 60th minute, Portugal took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

Guedes exits, Quares immediately.

This substitution adjustment is obvious, putting Cristiano Ronaldo at the forefront, and then relying on the breakthrough ability of Bernardo Silva and Quaresma to create opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's just that... Portugal has not solved the huge problem in the midfield when it switches from defense to offense.

The ball passed by Hao Junmin to Lu Liang was intercepted by Guerrero, who passed it directly to William Carvalho, but before William Carvalho could catch the ball, he saw a yellow figure suddenly flash out from the corner of his eye.

The big Arabic numeral '10' on the back told him who was coming forward.

"Tang Zheng!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Tang Zheng suddenly swung his right foot as soon as he intercepted the ball. Moutinho subconsciously fell to the ground to block the shot. Central defender Fonte immediately realized the danger and stepped forward to defend Tang Zheng.

At this moment, the outside instep of Tang Zheng's right foot shook, and the football rolled from the middle against the turf to the attacking right rib. Zhang Linpeng, who had not had time to return to defense, intervened at high speed.

"Oops!"

Fonte and left back Guerrero felt bad at the same time.

However... it was too late.

Zhang Linpeng, who was running at high speed, took the ball from the right side of the attack and accelerated directly into the space behind Fonte. Pepe turned quickly, but the distance could not save the near fire. Zhang Linpeng, who entered the penalty area, directly faced the goalkeeper Patricio.

"Zhang Linpeng!!"

He Wei stood up with his hands on the commentary box and shouted hysterically: "——Single sword!!"

Facing the attack, Zhang Linpeng was extremely focused at this time and directly raised his right foot sixteen meters away from the door.

How could Patricio not know what Zhang Linpeng was going to do based on his actions?

Explosive cumshot!

A blast at such a close range?

What if he got kicked in the face?

But Patricio had no extra time to think. The football kicked by Zhang Linpeng appeared in front of him. By the time he had time to react, the football hit the net on the left side of the goal with a devastating force.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

Suddenly, the entire Fisht Olympic Stadium became boiling, and the passionate Chinese fans made deafening roars.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!!" He Wei, the commentator of CC5, was passionate and eloquent: "Tang Zheng faked a dunk pass and found Zhang Linpeng who was coming in at high speed. Zhang Linpeng was very calm when facing Patricio. , scored with a blast, and the Chinese team equalized the score!"
