Chapter 74 The decisive battle against Greece
Chapter 74: Decisive Battle against Greece
"Stephen once again shot a super long shot in the midfield! The ball was still so fast! It rushed straight to the Portugal goal! Ricardo still had no reaction! The ball entered! It was in! It was really incredible!"
Huang Daxian, who was lucky enough to witness Li Yun's shocking shot again, roared wildly as usual, and was a few tones higher than usual. There was no way, Li Yun's continuous ultra-long shots were really crazy.
Li Yun once again shot the Thunder Beast in the middle circle, and this time, the ball speed was faster and more powerful, better than the last time. And such an unparalleled shot naturally left Ricardo without any room for any reaction, and could only watch the ball fly past him again and drill into the net.
This time, the net was brought up even more, almost to make the net belt break. It can be seen how fast Li Yun's thunder beast shot this time and how powerful it is!
"boom!"
As soon as the ball was entered, the entire stadium fell into a crazy situation again. Although Portugal is the host and the home team, there are also many fans of the away team Sweden, and the victory they can set off is also huge.
"Stephen, you are God! No one can compare with you!"
"Great, Stephen! Lead us to the finals and win the championship!"
"That's it, Stephen! Use your shot to mess up these bastards' assholes!"
Swedish fans shouted in the stands for their ruthlessness. Li Yun's goal made them extremely happy. Sweden, which was leading two goals, had an absolute advantage. There was absolutely no problem in winning this game.
"Hahaha, it's great, Stephen! I love you so much!"
The Swedish players were equally excited and caught up with Li Yun who was running together, and then hugged him from behind. Having such a reassuring teammate is really a matter of happiness to the extreme.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Unlike the crazy players, the two Swedish head coaches seemed very calm. This time the two just stood up and applauded, then looked at each other and laughed together.
For Soderbergh and Ragbeck, it is a blessing for them to have such a player in their team. There is no need to say anything more at this time. If there is something Li Yun can't do on the court, then no one in this world can do it.
"There is nothing to say! Such a shot really makes people have nothing to say! If every shot of Stephen can reach this level, I think there is no goalkeeper in this world who can block his shot!"
"Although the first half is not over, it is obvious that Portugal has been completely beaten by Stephen's two goals. Even if there is still a lot of time, they have the factor of home court, but the result is confirmed that no one will have the confidence to win the game in front of such a godly player, and even if the courage to stand dead, they may not have."
Indeed, as Wong Tai Sin said, although the game still has time, the Portuguese players can no longer fight normally. When Li Yun used the Thunder Beast to shoot for the first time, he was already shocked by his opponent. However, the Portuguese players at that time could still use "This is just an accident" to comfort themselves, and they may not necessarily lose confidence completely.
When Li Yun broke through Portugal's goal for the second time without any suspense, the situation completely changed. The original mentality of luck disappeared completely, and replaced by complete despair!
"Is this game necessary to continue?"
The Portuguese players looked at each other and all read such words from each other's eyes.
For these players in Portugal, they have indeed lost. Facing a god-level opponent in a rampage, they have no counterattack power at all. Even if they can score, they have to go through a lot of hardships. What about the opponent? As long as they stand in the middle circle and wave their feet, they can make the ball fly into the goal very easily. This contrast is really too big to accept.
But the Portuguese players only saw the surface and did not think deeper. If they could think carefully about why Li Yun had not played such a ball before, but in this game, at such a time, he could continuously shoot such a fierce shot, and he would have thought that the opponent's shot in front of him would definitely not be that simple.
Like a tornado, a super powerful kill like Thunder Beast also requires a large amount of Li Yun's load. It can only be used three times in a game. Li Yun has used it twice now. Even if he can still shoot one, he will definitely not shoot again, because, in that case, his feet will be too uncomfortable and it will be difficult to play any role.
If Portugal players knew this, they would not give up like this, and at least they would continue to resist and try to turn the situation around. But unfortunately, they didn't know, so the situation changed a lot next time.
The host Portugal, for a long time, had always taken the initiative in the game before being broken by Sweden. However, when Li Yun shot their goal with two consecutive long shots, they, who had the advantage, handed over the initiative completely, instead, making Sweden the initiative the party that took the initiative.
"Oh... Time is the same as fate! God's will is so, it is not something that human power can do!"
At this time, Scolari could only sigh. The old Brazilian man who had always liked to study Sun Tzu's Art of War could still give out a few Chinese ancient Chinese words. At this time, his mood was like an ancient Chinese, full of helplessness.
After the kick-off, Portugal could no longer control the situation in its own hands. Soon, the pace of the game was once again included in Sweden as usual. Sweden began to become the side with the advantage of possessing the ball, and frequently attacked the dangerous areas of Portugal, and then formed a threatening shot.
However, because Li Yun was a little uncomfortable at this time, he did not always rush to the front with his teammates to attack, so Sweden's efficiency was still not high enough and he could not always send the ball into the goal. Until the end of the first half, the score was still 2:0 and no changes occurred.
"The first half was over. During these 45 minutes, a lot of things happened, and the situation on the court changed a lot, which was really dazzling. If you are a neutral fan, you can fully experience the joy brought to you by football during this period of time, and you can also feel some things you have never felt before."
"Stephen Lee's two goals in the first half were of course the biggest highlight, and these two goals also allowed him to increase his total goals in this game to 15 goals. This is the result of only participating in five games. Will there be more in the World Cup? This can only be left for two years before the answer can be drawn."
"The speed and impact of Stephen's two goals are also shocking. I think there should be no one in the entire history of football that can kick a ball faster than Stephen, right? This kind of shooting speed may cause people to be seriously injured!"
"In addition, in this game, Portugal gained a great advantage by using its host identity, and even escaped a goal and a red card in the first half. But even so, they were still behind in the score and gave up the initiative to Sweden. Even in the second half, they did not have a good opportunity to save the situation."
"Always, the first half of this game was the most exciting first half since the start of the game. Although the total number of goals may not be as good as some games, it is incomparable to others in terms of excitement."
During the halftime break, Wong Tai Sin summarized the first half of this semi-final and concluded that this was the most exciting first half of this European Cup. However, he didn't say much about the second half of this game. It was just that from his attitude, it has shown that the second half will obviously not be as exciting as the first half, and it will even be a one-sided situation.
Sweden has established a victory, and Portugal's defeat has been decided, and there is no big suspense at all. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to play a wonderful and intense scene in the second half.
Fans are basically aware of this, so now, what they are looking forward to is Li Yun, who can still have a few goals.
In terms of total goals, Li Yun has already scored 15 goals, not only has he surpassed Platini's original 9 goals, but even this result was a record when he won the World Cup.
Fontaine scored 13 goals in 6 games, and became the player with the most goals in a single World Cup. Now, Li Yun scored 15 goals in 5 games in the European Cup, which is more advanced and more competitive. In people's eyes, this is much greater than Fang Dan. It's just a pity that this is not the World Cup, and Li Yun cannot transplant this record into the World Cup now. He can only wait for two years to rewrite the record in the World Cup.
"Hey, Roy, how many more goals do you think Stephen can score in this game?"
In the stands, two fans were talking there. It was obvious that these were all die-hard fans of Li Yun.
"At least three more, so that he can keep his goals on average three per game."
The man called "Roy" replied that he was obviously still full of expectations for Li Yun.
"Yes, if you score three more goals, you can average three goals per game! This is really too simple for Stephen! It would be great if he could score like this in the World Cup."
"Don't worry, he will! I think Stephen will definitely maintain his current state in the World Cup two years later. No! It should be better. By that time, he will score three goals per game as he is now, breaking all the records!"
This is Roy's expectation and the hope of all fans in the world who love Li Yun. They will never think that Li Yun's goals are too many, but they will only hope to score more.
But Fontane averaged more than two goals per game in the World Cup. If Li Yun could achieve three goals, there would definitely be no record that no one could break.
But that is still a very distant thing, and it will take two years to wait. What Li Yun needs to do most is to lead Sweden to continue to glory in this game.
"Everyone did a good job in the first half. Although Portugal used its home advantage to cause some trouble, now, these troubles have been solved by us. Next, it is our performance time, so that everyone can see who the most powerful team in Europe and even the world is!"
In the Swedish locker room, Ragbeck made the final agitation. Now there is no need for him to say anything more tactically. The players all know what to do. The only thing he can do is to further increase the morale of the team, until it can completely defeat Portugal.
"Europe's number one" and "world's number one" can be said to be the two most popular honors that Swedish players hope to receive. They now have great confidence to win such honors, and such honors can also stimulate them to continue to work hard, fight and create better results.
"We are the number one in Europe! We are the number one in the world! No one can stop us, no one!"
With such a belief, the Swedish players walked out of the locker room with high spirits and came to the stadium. It only takes another 45 minutes to defeat the opponent in front of them and reach the final.
As long as you defeat Portugal, Sweden will be very close to the final champion, and it is basically a foregone conclusion. Because even the powerful advantage of the host cannot gain any advantage on them, then, whether it is the Czech Republic or Greece on the other side, it is impossible to have any chance to shake Sweden's victory.
"Go to win the championship!"
From the beginning of the second half, Sweden regarded this game as a warm-up and preview of the final. They continued their strong performance in the final stage of the first half, completely suppressing Portugal, and then further plunged their opponents into despair.
After the final stage of the first half and the rest of the midfield, Li Yun's situation improved a lot. At least he was able to continue to invest in the offense with his teammates. This is very good news for Sweden. They have guaranteed high efficiency in attacks.
In the 57th minute, Sweden's third goal in this game came. After receiving a direct pass from Melbery in the midfield, Li Yun first divided the ball to the left and handed it to Edman who assisted to advance. Edman, Ibrahimovic and Johnson made quick passes and cooperated continuously, sending the ball to the hinterland of Portugal.
At this time, Ibrahimovic naturally passed the ball to Li Yun who inserted it in time. After Li Yun received the ball, he did not choose to shoot himself, but made a straight pass again and stuffed the ball into the penalty area.
At this time, the Portuguese players all focused on Li Yun, and did not expect Li Yun to pass the ball at this time, so they seriously ignored another dangerous figure on the Swedish attack line - Larson!
"It's time for me to show it!"
Larson, who had not scored goals in several games, finally got a great opportunity this time. After getting this single shot of offside, Larson was not polite, and directly made a low shot, making Ricardo's save useless.
3:0, Sweden continued to expand their results, which is the fifth time in this European Cup that they are ahead of their opponents by more than three goals.
The previous relegation, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands all lost at least three goals to Sweden. In this game, Portugal is obviously facing such an end. Now they are already behind with three goals, and the game is not over yet, and they are likely to lose more.
When Li Yun came to Sweden, he obviously brought Inter Milan's winning model to Sweden. A big victory has become the keyword of Sweden's recent games, and they have always used this state to win every game. As for whether they will continue this crazy momentum until the end of this European Cup, it depends on whether their last opponent will give this face.
Portugal obviously gave Sweden this face. After losing three goals in a row, the host no longer asked for anything, but only hoped that they would not concede the goal. Therefore, they began to focus on defense and did not do any moves of resistance.
Originally, under Scolari's training, Portugal's defense was already very good. Now that he deliberately wants to defend, the effect is naturally good. Sweden will not find a good opportunity for a while, so he can only continue this situation.
"Coach, wait until I scored the third goal later, I will replace me."
After this situation lasted for a long time, Li Yun made a decision, walked to the sidelines to drink a sip of water, and then said such things to Ragbeck.
The game has reached 75 minutes, and there are only 15 minutes left before the end of the game. At this time, even if Li Yun is no longer on the court, there is no big problem, so Li Yun made the decision to knock out the Thunder Beast at the opponent's goal again. At the same time, after shooting this ball, he had to leave the court to rest.
"Hmm? What are you talking about? Stephen?"
Obviously, Lagbek was confused by Li Yun, but when he asked again, Li Yun smiled and waved at him, and then returned to the field.
Although he didn't understand what Li Yun meant, since Li Yun asked to end, Ragbeck immediately found Anderton Anderson and asked him to prepare and replace Li Yun at any time.
Before Anderson could prepare for it, Li Yun made a strong appearance with his third goal in this game.
In the 77th minute, Li Yun, who received a pass from Lindrot in the middle circle, took the ball forward. After leaving the middle circle, he immediately shot out his ultimate kill again, and the Thunder Beast shot.
With a roar like thunder and lightning, the Thunder Beast crossed the half, then rushed into the net, tearing down Portugal's defense again!
4:0, Li Yun completed a hat trick and also frozen the winning score of Sweden above four goals.
The situation next was simple. Li Yun, who had lost his combat power, came to rest, and Portugal, who had no threat from Li Yun, also gave up the counterattack and spent all the remaining time with Sweden. In the end, the score was held until the end of the game.
Chapter completed!
