Chapter 179 Paraguay is Coming

After the game between England and Ireland, the next thing is the battle of the two teeth, Spain against Portugal.

This game is more gimmick than the previous game. The two teams are similar in strength, but neither is the favorite to win the championship. This may be the most embarrassing part of the two teams, especially the record of the Spanish group stage can blind the eyes of many teams. Unfortunately, those experts and scholars are still not optimistic about them, because Spain has always been the king of the qualifiers, and I am afraid it will be the same this time, although the head coach this time is former Real Madrid captain Camacho.

Both Spain and Portugal have a 442 formation.Spain's goalkeeper is Cassie, the back four players are Puyol, Hierro, Nadal, Garcia, the midfield four players are Enrique, Herguera, Belleron and Joaquin, and the two former players The forwards are still Morientes and Raul, and Barajamendieta and other giants are still sitting on the bench.

Portugal's lineup is the same as it was against Germany. Nie Huan is looking forward to this duel between Figo and Joaquin. Joaquin is very sharp at this time, and Figo is now at his peak, although the two are not here. On one level, Nie Huan is still looking forward to it, because Spain's midfield configuration is not weak, especially Belleron, who is known as the player of Zidane in La Liga and is also half of the apprentice of the ghost Dejaminha. Without Djaminha, there would be no Vereron. The relationship between the two is like Ronaldinho and Okocha.

I have to say that Djaminha's failure to be selected for the Brazilian team this time is good news for the German team, because this guy's difficulty index is comparable to that of Zidane. Card.

As soon as the two teams came up, they fought against each other. You come and go between the two sides, and the fight is quite vigorous. As expected, Belleron did not disappoint Nie Huan. He did not lose in the confrontation with Rui Costa in the midfield. It is said that he is a model of professional players, and he is a devout Christian, even more devout than Kaka. What is even more rare is that he is very low-key, and he doesn't care about anything except football. The most important point is that he treats himself He never cared about his salary. In his eyes, it is a gift from God that he can achieve what he is today.

If half of Belleron's character is transplanted to Djaminha, then maybe that guy is not a ghost, but a genius.

The two teams competed equally. In the auditorium today, Nie Huan and the Beckhams sat together. Opposite them was Helen Sweeting. This is Figo's wife, and she is also a very low-key Celebrity Mrs.

Nie Huan was naturally with the three women. During the World Cup, the three women were like conjoined twins. Wherever one went, the other two had to follow. There was no chance for the other party to be alone with Nie Huan.

The reason why Nie Huan played so amazing in the World Cup is probably related to this. There is nowhere to vent his energy, and he can only vent it on his opponent.

"Nie, that Belleron feels so strong. You can count on one hand the midfielders who have not lost the wind in the confrontation with Rui Costa." Rui Costa's strength is still very familiar, but he doesn't know so much about Belleron.

"David, he is Djaminha's apprentice. In fact, his strength is not weak. It's just that he is in La Liga, and he is not in a wealthy team. It is understandable that you know little about him. This guy is called La Liga Qidan. "Nie Huan's words made Beckham startled, La Liga Qi Dan, this kid seems to have two skills.

The two sides fought fiercely on the court. No.30 minutes, Joaquin broke through from the left and was knocked down by Costa. The Spanish player was very dissatisfied and went up to argue with the referee on duty because the opponent fouled too much. Bad, didn't even give the opponent a yellow card.

The set-piece won by Spain did not pose any threat. At the end of the first half, Hierro faced Figo, who was also galloping, with a sliding tackle. Figo fell heavily to the ground. Although he was a club teammate But on the court, there really was no friendship at all between the two parties, it was all bayonets.

The referee did not give a yellow card this time, but gave Portugal a set kick. Figo personally took the penalty. Figo looked at Cassie's position and then slammed his left foot hard on the front of the ball. The ball was just like that Spinning and flying towards the goal, Casey seemed very focused at this time. He still knows Figo, a club teammate, very well. This free kick can also be said to be a must in the Real Madrid team.The route of the ball was judged right by Cassie, and Cassie rushed over. He caught the ball, but before he could keep it, he was gently poked by the Portuguese striker Gomez, and the ball went down to Cassie's hand Sliding into Spain's gate 1:0, relying on Gomez's deft supplementary shot, Portugal took the lead.

The first half of the game also ended in such a dramatic scene. Although Portugal took the lead, the Spanish midfielder led by Enrique and Belleron still caused a lot of trouble for Portugal.

In the second half of the game, Camacho did not make substitutions. Spain's offensive was still as fierce as ever. No. 60 minutes, it was Joaquin again, and it was another surprise attack from the side. Costa tripped and passed the ball to the penalty area when the opponent was about to approach him. Morientes leaped high, overwhelmed Xavier and pushed the ball in. Baia couldn't do anything about it. He is old, he is no longer the Barcelona goalkeeper he once was.

The score was equalized, and Camacho celebrated almost crazily next to Oliveira. Oliveira looked at Camacho as if he was watching a monkey perform.

Not long after Spain equalized the score, Oliveira replaced Paulo Sousa. This talented midfielder finally made his debut again. In this World Cup, this midfielder has performed quite steadily. It can be said that Portugal has come to the present It has nothing to do with his performance. Although the core of Portugal is Figo, Paul Sosa is still an indispensable member.

Paulo Sousa played, so that Rui Costa was not so embarrassed when facing the Spanish midfielder, and his playing made Portugal quiet again.

Paulo Sousa came, and Valeron felt that the control of the midfield was not as smooth as before. At this time, I suddenly remembered what Djaminha said to himself: "Football is actually a war. No matter what the process is, people The winner will always be remembered in the future." Although Djaminha is considered a fool in the eyes of many people, Belleron is very aware of this guy's strength, and he has learned many things from him Although he is rebellious and has a hot temper, his talent cannot be erased by anyone.

The days when I played next to Djaminha were the most comfortable time for me. During that time, I really learned a lot. Now I don’t have him by my side. Facing Paulo Sosa and Rui Costa, I am still Who can you trust?
Belleron firmly controlled the football at his feet. Facing Paul Souza, he suddenly made a Marseille maneuver. Paul Souza came to his breakthrough position very skillfully. Who knew that Belleron was suddenly another Crewe Yves turned around and passed himself completely, and Rui Costa hurried over to fill his position.

Belleron didn't hesitate at this time, because he saw Raul who was cruising in the frontcourt for a long time, and he passed the ball without hesitation. Raul received the ball and immediately accelerated, Xavier had already rushed over , but this Raul suddenly passed the ball, Morientes received the ball and scored again, 2:1.Spain overtook the score.

Camacho was already too excited at this time, and Oliveira's face was very calm at this time, and now he could only watch the performance of his team members.

Paul Sousa looked at Belleron and didn't say anything. He just returned to the backcourt and prepared to kick off. There was less than half an hour left in the game.

The Portuguese golden generation all understand at this time that they must give it a go. No. 70 minutes, Paul Sosa and Rui Costa midfielder played together to completely play the Spanish midfielder.

The audience was dumbfounded during the whole process. Paulo Sosa and Rui Costa passed the ball back and forth, which completely exhausted the Spanish midfielders. Belleron wanted to stabilize the rhythm at this time, but the opponent didn't give it at all. You have a chance, another through ball, another Figo, and another absolute speed.

Hierro was very tight with Figo, but Figo didn't force himself at this time, because Paulo Sosa had already caught up, Figo made a light knock back, and Paulo Sosa made a long shot before Puyol.

The audience seemed to be able to hear the whistling sound of the ball in flight. Cassie's palms were sweating at this moment. She was really nervous. Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Come, the ball went into the goal and the score was equalized again. 2:2.

Cassie was very annoyed, and so was Puyol. Nadal was comforting the two. This game is very important for both sides.

Camacho is very hesitant at this time, whether or not to replace, but who to replace, the Spanish bench is golden, but who can use the immediate strength, Baraja, Mendieta, etc. Who will the two choose?

The momentum and feeling of Portugal’s golden generation seems to be back again. When Camacho hesitated on the sidelines, Portugal counterattacked again. It was Figo again. This time, the person defending him became Nadal. Nadal is a defender. Obvious shortcomings, he is one of the veterans of this Spanish team.Facing his former club teammate Nadal, he was very firm.

Figo faced Nadal, and it was not so easy to get rid of it for a while. Although the opponent was old, he still knew his own movements and characteristics very well.

But Figo is Figo after all, this time he first feinted and then accelerated suddenly, Nadal's legs were fixed in place, but Figo had already come to the Spanish penalty area at this time.

Facing this dangerous man, the Spanish defensive players hesitated, but Figo did not give them much chance to think, and volleyed again. This time Cassie directly blocked the ball with both fists, but followed closely It was a hanging door, and Cassie pushed it out with his hands.

The two threats were resolved, and Cassie finally got rid of the previous blame, but Portugal's corner kick still has a threat.

The corner kick was taken by Rui Costa, and the ball was still looking for a back point. The disadvantages of Spain's defense line were immediately highlighted, and the disadvantage of their players' lack of height in corner kicks was fully revealed.

Cassie's eyes were fixed on Figo, but he never thought of the ball. Figo was just a cover in front. The ball was hit by Pauleta, who had been invisible throughout the game. He caught the ball Just such a rub, the ball rolled into the goal. At this time, there are still a few minutes left in the game. Pauletta's rubbing shot can be called a lore.

Camacho was dumbfounded. At this time, he replaced Baraja and Mendieta, and replaced Joaquin and Belleron. In this way, Portugal's chances of winning were even greater, because the opponent who controlled the rhythm had already Going down, Baraja's power can only be revealed when he is with Alberta. As for Mendieta, he is not as fast as Joaquin, although his technique is very good.

Camacho's final substitution was a tragedy, and the Matador Legion finally fell at the feet of the golden generation.

This game is really ups and downs, you never get bored watching Portugal.

The next matchup between Nigeria and Russia is not so good, because it is completely unilaterally crushed by Nigeria, especially Okocha. No one can restrain him in the midfield. As a result, at halftime It's already a 1:0 lead.

Russia didn't give up, and they couldn't give up, taking advantage of a corner kick to equalize shortly after the start of the second half.

It's a pity that Okocha made a comeback again, which made Russia's previous efforts come to naught. In the end, the score of this game was 2:1. Russia played like a group, but not as a whole, which is why they lost to each other. reason.

Nigeria advanced, and then there will be a duel between Germany and Paraguay. Some media joked that this is a duel between Nie Huan and Chilavert. Although Nie Huan is not a goalkeeper, his performance is really not inferior to the top goalkeeper.

"For this game, Nie, you should return to the midfielder position, Dietmar, you should take a rest." Harman nodded. His state in this World Cup is indeed very average. Maybe Nie Huan is better than Paraguay this time. Better choice for yourself.

Nie Huan is not familiar with this Paraguay team at all. Although this team has always been a strong team in South America, there are really very few names that can be remembered. This time their national team lineup, Nie Huan only Know one Chilavert and none of the others.
