I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 244 Meeting the Peak
"Portugal's physical fitness is a bit stretched"

Looking at the chaotic situation on the field, Loew couldn't help but make a comment.

"Indeed, their backcourt can no longer withstand the impact of Hazard. They are getting older and cannot keep up with the speed, so they can only foul."

Flick on the side also nodded in agreement. Compared with Belgium, which successfully passed the previous two knockout games, Portugal played two more overtime games. At the critical time of the semi-finals, it became the last straw that crushed their physical fitness. .

No. 70 minutes, Portuguese midfielder Silva was dunked by Carrasco when he assisted in defending the wing, and then instinctively stretched his legs backwards.

No.70 In the second minute, Hazard received a pass from Saul from the side and cut in. Sanchez came from the side and saw that Hazard was about to speed up, so he quickly put in a shovel.

Hazard rolled to the ground and Sanchez was yellow.

Substitution for Santos.

Andre Gomez came on to replace Sanchez.

Except for the key players who have no choice but to hard cap after being yellowed, other players who are yellowed are replaced as directly as possible.

Team defense plus foul tactics.

The tacit understanding of the two teams stunned the audience.

The level of excitement is greatly reduced, but the intensity has reached the peak.

For the battle between the final tickets, if the opponent can play for 10 minutes easily and happily, then if they lose the game, they will definitely be drowned in the saliva of their own fans after the game.

Within 5 minutes after the Portuguese team made a substitution, Jose Fonte and Carrasco were yellowed one after another.

In the 707th minute of the game, Lukaku retreated and cooperated with Hazard hitting the wall. Hazard had already played the ball, but Pereira held his arm, and his forward running position was interfered. The moment Pei steals the ball, Hazard turned and questioned the referee, who was dissatisfied.

The referee blew his whistle and Pereira was shown a yellow card.

Santos makes another substitution.

Moutinho came on and replaced Pereira.

Belgium also made a substitution.

Batshuayi came on to replace Lukaku.

Hazard went straight to the striker.

Batshuayi hits the wing.

The defensive players of the two teams really want to stop the opponent's attack line for a while!

The speed of eating cards in the second half was unbearable!

Not long after the substitution was completed, in the No. 80 minute of the game, when Portugal launched a fast break, Ronaldo passed the ball back from the front side of the field. When Nani rushed up, Guerrero suddenly rushed along the side.

A wave of three quick passes and cuts blasted Meunier's defense. Meunier didn't dare to foul anymore, and he had a yellow card!

After Guerrero drove straight into the penalty area and passed the ball close to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo missed the football by Savage pushing and shoving in front of the goal.

The referee whistles!
Finger penalty point.

Belgian fans on the brink of collapse!
In recent times, Belgium's defense has either given away kills or points.

But it must be admitted that Portugal's conservative style of play is extremely efficient in surprise attacks.

Under the eyes of everyone, Ronaldo stood in front of the penalty spot.

After the run-up, he simply blasted the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

Ronaldo scored twice!

Portugal leads Belgium 2:1.

The Portuguese generals were celebrating, while the Belgian generals gestured to Hazard and De Bruyne to hurry up and set up their formations, and attack wildly at the kick-off!

Ronaldo also kept reminding the players to strengthen their defense when walking back to the half.

Santos used up the last substitution.

Defender Carvalho came on, replacing Joao Mario, who had already received a yellow card, and played a five-three-two formation.

When he finished the substitution and was about to kick off, Santos suddenly frowned slightly.

His substitution card is over, and the score is indeed leading now, but until the last moment before the end of the game, the Portuguese coach did not dare to relax at all. He knew that with the current situation of the team, if it was dragged into overtime again, it would be almost impossible. There is no chance.

And there is not even a serious defensive midfielder, so why not strengthen the back line?
There is absolutely no problem with this substitution, if you can keep it, that is the best result!

Belgium kicked off and attacked wildly!

Teacher Ding, who saw the team's desperation, became completely manic.

No.80 In the second minute, Andre Gomez fouled De Bruyne when he defended in front of the penalty area and then inserted it.

After 1 minute, Nani was intercepted from the side of the front field, Batshuayi instigated a fast break from the left, Hazard ran directly into the right side of the penalty area, and De Bruyne, who advanced forward, had penetrated into the penalty area of ​​Portugal , This situation makes Pepe vacillate left and right.

When Batshuayi's cross flew to the back of the penalty area, Hazard took off and headed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Carvalho blocked De Bruyne's front, but unexpectedly Hazard sent the ball behind De Bruyne. Teacher Ding turned around at a critical moment and then knocked the ball back diagonally.

Carrasco shook off Moutinho, who was desperately blocking him, and went into the penalty area to meet the ball and hit the goal.

Jose Fonte sacrificed his life to block the hole of the gun, and the outside of his right calf touched the football, causing the football to refract.

The football that originally flew towards the near corner of the goal changed its route and flew towards the far corner of the goal!

Patricio can't help it!
All the Belgian fans in the stadium cheered.

Belgium equalized within 3 minutes!

The score came to 2:2!

Santos mouth fragrant!
What are you afraid of!
The line of defense is messed up, I can't stand it anymore!The three central defenders failed to stop the opponent's attack, so how can they play now? !

Now the balance of the situation on the field of competition has fallen to Belgium.

Because Portugal weakened the offense.

The Portuguese generals were also scalp numb, Ronaldo always had a calm expression, he clapped his hands to encourage the team to stabilize their mentality!
Even though Portugal's positional offensive directly stretched his hips after the kick-off, he did not show impatience as before.

However, Belgium's offensive has shown a terrifying momentum under the leadership of De Bruyne and Hazard.

In the 806th minute of the game, when Hazard faked and changed direction to get rid of Moutinho at the front of the penalty area, the latter obviously pulled a foul and received a yellow card.

Moutinho obviously couldn't find the rhythm after his debut, but Pepe still praised his performance.

In this situation, even if the ball cannot be intercepted, fouls must be made to end Belgium's threatening offensive rhythm!
Hazard's free kick was over the crossbar, too close to the goal, and the ball over the wall could not be pressed down.

In the second half of today, Hazard was almost always restrained by fouls by his opponents, but at this time he was unable to hold on to the body that was targeted by his opponents. When he pulled off his socks, he could find that his two calves were almost full. bruises.

In the 808th minute of the game, Portugal failed to complete another offensive.

Although Ronaldo won the header, he failed to give the ball to Nani.

After Alderweireld made a header to clear the siege, Hazard retreated to the front of the center circle to make a successful response.

When he touched the ball, he dribbled towards the wing. When he saw Andre Gomez in front of him speeding up and killing him, Hazard suddenly pulled the ball and turned around to speed up the start.

Andre Gomez turned around and wanted to foul, but he stopped his horse in an instant.

Because he has realized that he already has a yellow card on him!

Hazard dribbled to complete the breakthrough, and when he continued to move forward, Moutinho was facing him to intercept him. Hazard sped up the ball with his left foot and then easily passed Moutinho. !
Santos almost exploded when he witnessed this scene from the sidelines.

The unsystematic defense is like a mantis arm against a car in the face of such a superb Hazard!

And he also saw that Hazard's state is almost a flashback-style soaring!After being violated for a whole game, the impact this time may be the last ripple of the ball king!
But who can stop him now?

Pepe and Carvalho rushed towards the front and side of Hazard to block it.

Hazard stopped in front of Carvalho and pulled the ball in front of him, turned around and changed feet to pull the ball!

He was too old and hadn't gotten into shape just after playing, but he met Hazard, a super god. Such a huge gap made the former top central defender Carvalho almost like a stake being easily passed by Hazard !
If he puts his feet out, the football must be able to be broken or Hazard brought down

But Hazard turned around and pulled the ball suddenly, and Carvalho, who was completely unresponsive physically, didn't even make a foul!

Hazard successfully entered the opponent's penalty area. Pepe and Jose Fonte rushed over like a formidable enemy, but at the moment they turned their direction, Hazard had already sent the ball.

De Bruyne quickly went forward to the left side of the penalty area to receive Hazard's pass!

Kick the ball and shoot low!

The football flew into the near corner of the goal and Patricio was bravely absent. Belgium took the lead in the last minute of the game!

All the Belgian fans at the scene were ecstatic, and the atmosphere of the scene was so hot that it went straight to the sky!
