"The Portuguese team is in trouble now. After losing the high point, they can no longer attack."
"The midfields of both sides are evenly matched, and the players of the Dutch team are more active in defense, which also makes the Portuguese team's ground cooperation more difficult."
"Now the two sides are back on the same starting line, but the Dutch team's momentum is obviously better."
"Violante must make adjustments to the Portuguese team. Lorenzo, who came on the bench, still has a big gap with the main players in terms of ability. The Portuguese team needs a frontcourt fulcrum."
The commentary's evaluation is very fair.
In fact, in the Portuguese team's locker room, Violante was also analyzing the issue of the team's frontcourt fulcrum.
In the end, Violante decided to take a risky approach.
As soon as the second half started, all the commentators were stunned.
"Oh! The Portuguese team actually made another substitution during midfield."
"Lorenço, who came on as a substitute, was replaced by his club teammate Veloso. Use a defensive midfielder to replace a center!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the center position. He is not a center player, but he has played center once or twice in the club, and the effect is said to be good."
"Although he does not have Almeida's fulcrum role and tall stature, his impact and shooting are stronger. If Portugal focuses on playing the ball from behind, Ronaldo may indeed cause trouble for the Dutch team."
"Viana moved to the left wing position. This is a test for the Dutch team's right back, because Viana's technical characteristics are completely different from the previous Ronaldo, which requires the defender to switch to defensive mode."
"Meirees moved to the left midfielder position, and Veloso played Meireles' previous position as the defensive midfielder."
"Overall, the Portuguese team's defensive capabilities have improved."
"But on the offensive end, although the configuration does not look bad and the personnel changes are not big, many people have appeared in new positions. I don't know if they can create new sparks."
Forty-nine minutes.
Viana sent a diagonal pass directly from the wing.
Cristiano Ronaldo was entangled by Heitinga, which eventually caused the football to roll off the bottom line.
Fifty-five minutes.
Meireles passed the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who was holding the ball with his back, was stabbed away by the opponent during the turn.
His ability to hold the ball with his back needs to be improved.
Sixty-two minutes.
The Dutch team started to attack.
Robben relied on his personal ability to create a side ball on the wing.
After the sideline kick was taken, Van der Vaart passed the ball back to Sneijder. Everyone thought that Sneijder would move the football to the other side and then penetrate the ball through the ground.
Who knew that Sneijder would directly lift the football into the penalty area with one kick.
This is an overhead through ball that tests your footwork very much.
The Portuguese team's formation at this time has been compressed, and the distance between the back line and the goalkeeper is not large.
If the ball is passed a little longer, it will be caught by the goalkeeper.
Pass less and it will be within the defensive range of the central defender.
But Sneijder was able to get the pass stuck at that awkward spot.
Van Persie had an idea and jumped to the top.
Fortunately, Portuguese center back Fonte was focused and kicked the football out first, taking the risk of hitting Van Persie's head.
Van Persie hesitated at the end and backed down.
Otherwise, he should be the one who encountered football first.
It cannot be said that Van Persie is not brave. He is already very brave if he can use the action of diving.
But many times, when you muster up the courage to face difficulties, you will find that you were not prepared enough.
Because he was afraid of kicking Robin van Persie's head, Font used his strength to make the clearance this time. The football flew out of the penalty area, but not far.
Sneijder, who just completed the pass, is here.
He volleyed the ball and the ball came back.
This is a world-famous goal!
"Goal! Sneijder! Dutch midfielder Gemini Sneijder scored a goal!"
"The Netherlands officially overtakes the Portuguese team!"
"They really got their revenge!"
"Sneijder has won back for himself, Van der Vaart, Robben and Robin van Persie everything they lost in the UEFA Youth League!"
"The Avengers don't need respect from charity, they will earn respect with their own goals!"
"Deng Kai! Are you ready to accept failure?"
Dutch fans cheered wildly.
This game is so depressing.
Dare you mock them as a bunch of losers?
What now?
Who is the loser?
Hathaway in the stands frowned.
At this moment, she had a deeper understanding of football.
This is not playing football at all.
This is a war!
A war that cannot be lost!
And Deng Kai's current situation seems not to be optimistic.
He is about to lose this war.
This goal put Ronaldo into a state of anxiety.
Sixty-five minutes.
Deng Kai sent a through pass.
But Ronaldo started early and was offside.
The tacit understanding between Sporting Lisbon's twin stars was weakened by Ronaldo's mentality.
In the 68th minute, Van der Vaart took a free kick in the frontcourt.
The free kick he took was of high quality and hit the goal frame, but Portuguese goalkeeper Valais kept the team's hopes alive and blocked the shot.
In the 74th minute, Van der Vaart, who was still shining, took a corner kick.
After the corner kick was taken, Meireles saw through Van der Vaart's corner kick intention and took the header away.
Attacks from both sides came one after another, and no one took the absolute initiative.
Everyone has a chance.
Eighty minutes.
Viana dribbled from the wing to attract the defense and then passed the ball to Quaresma on the other side.
Quaresma hit the wall with Deng Kai on the right and took the baseline into the penalty area.
The Portuguese fans became nervous instantly and cheered Quaresma one after another.
Quaresma passed the attacker with a fried ball in the penalty area, and then sent a sharp sweep.
The star's ability is fully demonstrated at this moment.
This is entirely a threat created by Quaresma with his own abilities.
Because the ball was so fast, the Dutch center back, who was half a step behind, couldn't touch the ball at all.
Ronaldo had a chance to touch the football, but Heitinga threw him and Ronaldo missed the ball.
Heitinga definitely committed a foul.
But he also stopped Ronaldo.
He admitted that he was gambling and that the referee could not see all this.
The football is about to slide past.
Viana, who also slipped into the penalty area after cutting inside without the ball, fell directly to the ground and slid towards the football.
He only saw this black and white elf.
boom!
when!
In the broadcast, the football entered the net.
But the next moment, Viana hit the goalpost hard.
He was hit from the side.
The whole body bent instantly, like a broken stick.
The players nearby heard Katsa's voice.
"Team doctor! Quick! Team doctor!"
Players from both sides immediately raised their hands and looked to the sidelines, calling for the team doctor almost as eagerly as when Almeida was injured, or even more eagerly!
The Portuguese team doctor came on stage for the second time, and then quickly called for a stretcher for the second time.
Viana suffered a severe impact on his left hip and left kidney, and was initially diagnosed as a fracture, but a worse situation could not be ruled out.
His injuries are more threatening than Almeida's!
Viana retires injured.
Portugal equalized the score.
But they also lost the core of the team's midfield.
Viana's face was filled with tears when she was carried off.
On the one hand it's because of the pain.
But on the other hand, it's because he knows that he will never return to this arena.
His European Junior Championship journey is over.
He used his remaining schedule in exchange to help Portugal catch up with the Netherlands.
If there is a miracle in Portugal.
Then he is the founder of that miracle.
But founders are often not reapers.
His fifteen years old is destined to leave some regrets.
