The 15-minute break passed quickly, and the two teams returned to the field. After exchanging fields, the referee blew his whistle, and the second half of the game officially began.
At the beginning, the Spanish team used a lightning offensive to test the Portuguese team's goal.
The football transitioned quickly in the midfield. After three passes and two downs, Harvey suddenly dribbled forward. Fan Bizhuang made a cover for him, attracting a defensive player away. The empty goal was wide open in the middle. Running with the ball for two steps, and then kicking is a clever shot from outside the penalty area.
The football was picked up by Harvey with the arch of his foot, turned into a semicircle, and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal at a tricky angle.
Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo reacted a lot, and Harvey's shot was too angled and not very powerful. Eduardo, who was flying across the field, tried his best to support it with his right hand, and the football flew out of the crossbar.
"A wonderful spot-on shot from Xavi, the Spanish maestro has not had many direct shots in this game, but no one can ignore his ability to score goals, and his shots made the Portuguese very embarrassed !"
"At the beginning of the second half, the Spanish team gave the opponent a big blow! Are they trying to express something? Oh, oh, they are telling the Portuguese that although we are neighbors, at the critical moment, we still want to beat you. I want to beat you!"
"Eduardo made a crucial save, and although he was a bit embarrassed, he kept the goal clean!"
There were exclamations and joking sounds one after another at the Free State Stadium. Neither the commentator nor the fans are unfamiliar with such a scene. Throughout the second half of the first half, Spain continued to perform this scene. Their offense often It can make the Portuguese team embarrassed, and Eduardo is the busiest person on the field.
Obviously, after seeing this scene, most people will subconsciously think that the second half will be a replica of the first half, and the Spanish team will continue to beat around the neighbors Portugal.
In fact, this is true. The Spanish team continued their best pass and control cooperation, using constant pull and pass to dominate the rhythm of the game.
But as the game time passed, careful fans found that everything was a little different again.
For example, Portuguese players are more active and fierce in their press, and they are more daring to invest in counterattacks. Most importantly, almost no one sticks to the ball. C. Ronaldo in the field, and after the latter got more ball possessions, the number of breakthrough sprints and shots gradually began to increase.
"Portugal's counterattack seems to be more resolute and decisive. C. Ronaldo seems to be active. In the face of Spain's strong offensive, the Portuguese team did not choose to completely hide and defend. They actually pushed the front line gradually. It is really unbelievable , do they want to play against the Spanish team?"
Some commentators exclaimed in exclamation.
Before he finished speaking, Portugal's counterattack once again advanced to the frontcourt.
A very simple pass and cooperation, after resisting another attack from Spain, Eduardo almost rushed to the edge of the penalty area with the ball in both hands, and then vigorously threw the ball to Simao who was diagonally ahead. The famous Atletico Madrid player did not stick to the ball , stopped the ball and turned to observe, and then kicked the football to the front field with a big foot.
C. Luo is on the route of football!
During the running, he skillfully stopped the ball, turned around, passed the ball, and changed direction. Several consecutive actions were connected very smoothly. Ronaldo passed Busquets and appeared at a position about 25 away from the goal.
Without waiting for the defenders to fill their positions, Ronaldo raised his foot and hit the goal. The football went straight to the goal like a cannonball. Casillas flew to the rescue and shot the football out of the bottom line in a thrilling manner.
"A powerful and heavy bombardment!"
"Facing Iker Casillas, C. Rodriguez didn't show any kindness to the teammate of the club. Even if this shot failed to score, the huge force will probably make Casillas' wrist sore. For a while!"
"From Cristiano Ronaldo... shot! Obviously, after seeing the performance of his club teammate and competitor Fan Active, C. Ronaldo is finally unwilling to be alone! After the second half started, C. Ronaldo seemed to wake up Now, his shots are getting more and more threatening!"
This seems to be a signal. In the next game, the Spanish team still has the upper hand, but the Portuguese team's counterattack is also fast and fierce. In addition, it is extremely simple and direct, that is, the teammates pass the ball. C. Luo moved, and then watched C. Luo's solo performance.
Such an approach of personal heroism actually has certain disadvantages, because the teammates only know how to feed one person, and the opponent also knows this, and will concentrate more defensive energy to create a bigger attack. obstacle.
After C. Luo became active, the Spanish defenders realized this and began to take more "key care". However, C. Luo's personal ability is indeed very strong, both in ball protection and breakthrough ability. Although there are some stumbles, Ronaldo's shots are still rising steadily, and the threat to the goal is also increasing.
The scene is gradually developing in the direction of half a catty.
The fans of the Portuguese team were excited and began to cheer more vigorously for the team and C. Ronaldo. Although the Spanish fans responded with cheers and shouts, not to be outdone, the situation changed from an absolute suppression in the first half to a close match now. , which makes people inevitably have a little worry.
"It can't go on like this."
Bosque stood on the sidelines, frowning, with his arms crossed, as if he was deep in thought.
To be honest, a scene like "evenly matched" is not what he wants. The Spanish team already has a higher overall strength than the opponent, so why should it be "evenly matched"?Obviously the winning rate is 70.00%, but now it has become half to half, which is obviously extremely unfavorable to one's own side.
In fact, Bosque can see that his team still has an absolute upper hand on the scene and even in the opportunities created. The strong midfield control of the Spanish team is not in vain, it is recognized by the world The strongest midfield configuration, under the combing of Xavi and Iniesta, the delivery is smooth and skillful, the whole team is organized, and the ammunition for the striker is continuously delivered.
But the problem is that the ammunition is available, but it still cannot hit the enemy's heart with the ammunition.Failure to score a goal is the biggest problem facing the Spanish team at the moment, and it is also the confidence that the Portuguese team has the confidence to dare to fight with them.
After all, their own side has never been able to score goals, and Portugal's mind will naturally be active. Although they are at a disadvantage, if they can counterattack and score a goal, the situation will naturally change drastically. In the end, they defeated Spain and won the victory. possible.
Having found the crux of the matter, Bosque will naturally prescribe the right medicine.
Fan Bizhuang's performance is no problem. Whether it is breaking through, passing the ball, cooperating with teammates, or even shooting by himself, he has done a good job. It can be said that almost half of the opportunities created on the front line are from Fan Bizhuang. hand.
There is a saying that the more you do, the more mistakes you make, because Fan Bizhuang's energy is scattered on several things, and he can't go all out when it comes to scoring goals.
But this is also a helpless move. Torres did not fulfill his duties in this game. He was clearly playing the role of a bridgehead, but he insisted on wandering on the sidewalk all the time. Not to mention that his ability was not fully utilized, it also caused Fan Bizhuang to share too many tasks.
Bosque made up his mind and immediately made substitution adjustments.
Three minutes later, the tall and powerful center Fernando Llorente came on the field, and he replaced Torres.
Bosque's intention is obvious. In the case of occupying the midfield advantage, Llorente can take advantage of his height and get more passing support from the two sides. Whether it is a chance to shoot by himself or act as a fulcrum, It is a good choice to serve as a ball screen for teammates.
Most importantly, Bosque hopes that Llorente's playing can completely liberate Van Bizhuang, allowing the latter to concentrate all his energy on scoring.
This is a targeted adjustment that obviously helps the offense, and the effect can be said to be immediate.
Before Llorente came on the field, the Spanish team controlled the rhythm of the game, with wonderful and ingenious cooperation emerging one after another, but it was not so interesting in the final kick, because Torres' slump made the assists from the two sides The ability can't give full play to the advantages.
And Llorente makes up for this deficiency. Among other things, with a strong body and a height of 1 meters, even if he does nothing, he is like a hill in the restricted area, which is uncontrollable. disregard.
Furthermore, although Llorente is tall and big, he was born in the Iberian Peninsula after all, and has the unique delicacy of the Spaniards, so he is not rough in handling the ball at his feet.
It is definitely enough to act as a bridgehead and cover for Fan Bizhuang and other teammates behind him.
The appearance of Llorente made Portugal's defense even tighter. The two central defenders, Pepe and Carvalho, had previously concentrated most of their defensive energy on Fan Bizhuang, but now Llorente is at the forefront to disturb the situation. The wind is stirring the rain, Pepe and Carvalho can be said to be under a lot of pressure.
They knew that Fan Bizhuang was Spain's most well-hidden killer move, but they couldn't ignore Llorente, a tall man in the penalty area.
Unlike Fan Bizhuang, Llorente is tall enough and has a particularly strong body. He hardly shows off his foot skills. He just fights with the defenders in the penalty area, and he doesn't suffer at all. Pepe and Carvalho There is a sense of helplessness.
Sure enough, in the 4 minutes of the game, Ramos came up with an assist from the backcourt. After halftime, he kicked up a long pass and hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Pepe was taken away by Fan Bizhuang, and Carvalho was in a physical confrontation Suppressed by Llorente in the center, the latter volleyed sideways and shook his head to attack the goal.
Fortunately, the Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo seems to be possessed by God today. In an impossible situation, it was almost a subconscious reaction. With a side attack, he was lucky enough to block the football with his hand.
Although this powerful header did not turn into a goal in the end, it made the Spanish players and fans sigh, but then everyone's eyes lit up, because they all realized that with a slight At the high point of Lent, high-altitude bombing will become the sharpest weapon to break the deadlock!
