"This is simply a textbook defensive counterattack! It's too fast!"
"Deng Kai's pass, Cristiano Ronaldo's run! The last pass by the goalkeeper showed the big heart of this player!"
"What's going on with the German team today? How come their defense feels like it's about to collapse?"
"Portugal was at a disadvantage throughout the whole process. They only tested the German team twice, but the German team failed to withstand the test!"
"Before the game, many people said that it was impossible for Ronaldo to adapt to the center position, but now it seems that he has no problem at all! His impact is almost unique in this tournament!"
"He may not be enough as a fulcrum, but what kind of fulcrum center does a team that defends and counterattack want?"
The fulcrum center is essentially developed to make up for midfielders who lack creativity, game-breaking ability, and pressure resistance.
Teams that don't play counter-attacking midfielders and have top midfielders don't need a fulcrum center.
They need the Terminator more!
The Portuguese team falls into both situations at the same time.
Fourteenth minute.
It can be seen that the German team is a little confused, they still don't know where the problem lies.
They limited Quaresma very well.
Portugal's entire right wing was almost devoid of any threat.
However, Deng Kai and Meireles made continuous cooperation on the left, taking the football past the midfield.
As the team's left back Ribeiro stepped in, Portugal got a chance to cross the ball.
However, Lahm followed Ribeiro, who couldn't find a chance in the one-on-one and could only return the football to Meireles, who in turn returned the football to Deng Kai on the left rib.
boom!
Deng Kai fired from the left rib.
Ronaldo tried to make a move in the penalty area.
Everyone is paying attention to Deng Kai.
Because of this pass, he must find the center, right?
Whoosh!
The football didn't fly high, but Deng Kai's power was very strong, the ball was very fast and the arc was not small.
This kind of pass is not conducive to the center forward's header at all.
But...
"The rear point! Quaresma suddenly intervenes, and there is no one guarding the rear point!"
"Quaresma didn't stop the ball and shot a shot with the outside of his instep! The German team's defensive players had just finished turning their heads at this time!"
"No one can stop Quaresma, his outside instep is so accurate, he scores the goal from a small angle!"
"Three to zero! Is the Portuguese team so strong?"
"Three goals in a row in nine minutes! They beat their semi-final opponent Germany to Poland who couldn't even make it out of the group stage!"
"It feels like the Portuguese team wasn't so relaxed when they played the Netherlands in the last round, right?"
"Oh! Unbelievable! Deng Kai completed a hat trick of assists without even knowing it!"
"This feels like a fantasy! So far, although he has appeared in the camera a lot of times, he has not done many actions that make people shine."
"If it weren't for the data reminder, I wouldn't even be able to tell which one is Deng Kai, which one is Amorim or Veloso. Aren't they all doing ordinary work of catching and delivering the ball?"
"Can the German team really beat such a Portuguese team?"
"Why are the winning percentage predictions before the game so one-sided? Such a strong team should not be looked down upon at all, okay?"
Many commentators are confused.
The defeat of the German team is unacceptable.
But fans can crash, players can't.
With the help of the head coach and players such as Lahm, the German team stabilized the situation on the field by shrinking the formation.
They no longer press aggressively.
He no longer wanted to defeat the Portuguese team with a violent attack.
They just want to be quiet.
They gave up football to the Portuguese and cowered away.
"Klinger, keep an eye on that Deng Kai, no matter what he does!" The head coach of the German team was perhaps the first to see the situation clearly. He saw where the Portuguese team's formation was.
Sure enough, the Portuguese team no longer had that kind of sharp pass that could kill the ball with one hit.
Although the German team lost possession of the ball, the situation was much better than before.
When they have completely slowed down and adapted, that's when they work hard.
From this point of view, Germany U16 is at least a well-trained team. They have a very high degree of completion of the head coach's tactics and prohibitions.
In the 21st minute, Meireles and Robery penetrated the left wing and succeeded.
Robery made a pass.
Ronaldo's header went wide.
The German team is full of people, and even if Ronaldo is lucky enough to win the ball, it will be difficult for him to exert his strength.
In the 28th minute, Meireles made a fake move from the left and passed diagonally to Amorim, who shot from a long distance and joined Genghis Khan's lineup, only bending his bow to shoot the big eagle.
During this period, the Portuguese team's offensive was mainly concentrated on the left wing, completed by Meireles.
Deng Kai, who was specially marked by the German team, touched the ball only a handful of times and seemed to be frozen, almost like the engineer Veloso.
Veloso: I advise you to speak with respect. I am a defensive midfielder and it is understandable that I touch the ball less. Some people are core players but cannot touch the ball. This is a bit unreasonable.
Deng Kai:???
In the 36th minute, Quaresma broke through on the right and finally made a free kick.
In the ensuing corner kick attack, Font overturned Görlitz who was guarding him during the aerial challenge and was called for an offensive foul.
During this period, the Portuguese team was constantly besieging the German team.
The German team coach holds a thick stack of statistics and analysis sheets in his hand, waiting to give face-to-face instructions to the players during the halftime break.
Three goals behind seems like a desperate situation, but the Germans never play a sure game!
The chances are great!
Forty-two minutes.
Ronaldo, who had a hard time surviving in the penalty area, withdrew.
The center is actually very miserable.
Many times it doesn't appear in the shot at all.
But the opponent's center back will not fail to see you.
They will follow you most of the time and have some physical contact with you.
I'll push you when I'm running, and I'll give you a squeeze when I meet.
Endless little movements, little frictions.
I, who have never been thick-skinned and thick-skinned, really can’t bear it.
As soon as Ronaldo came out, Deng Kai immediately started to move forward, and with the help of Ronaldo's movement, he temporarily got rid of Klinger who was marking him. Ronaldo can also be successful when he plays basketball because he completed a good pick-and-roll.
Quaresma succeeded in passing someone on the wing, happened to see Deng Kai's movement, raised his foot and made a cross.
He knew that Deng Kai was not tall, so he gave a low cross.
This kind of ball is difficult to handle, and Deng Kai is no exception.
But before Deng Kai could think about how to deal with the problem, he was brought down by German center back Fink.
Fink failed to keep up with Deng Kai and was worried that Deng Kai would catch the cross, so he pushed Deng Kai down with his hands and feet.
The referee blew the whistle immediately.
Penalty kick!
And gave Fink a yellow card!
The fans of the German team even wanted to leave the stadium.
Three goals behind and a penalty kick?
Can this game be played?
The players of the German team immediately gathered around and said that this was a normal physical confrontation and that Deng Kai was diving and so on.
But the referee didn't listen at all.
The grumpy Hitzelsperger even received a yellow card warning for his excessive words.
He is angry!
In the UEFA Youth League, the gap between them and Sporting Lisbon was not that big anyway.
Everyone went into overtime.
How is it that in just two or three months, Deng Kai and Ronaldo can cut the melons and vegetables of the German U16?
Subsequently, Quaresma took the penalty kick.
boom!
"Oh! No goal! The football hit the post and bounced out!"
