Ricardo Barea suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area of the Chinese team!
The football bounced against the turf and rolled towards the goal.
The speed didn't look fast, but it made the Chinese fans feel their hearts in their throats.
Because goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan didn't touch the ball after falling to the ground!
The football just rubbed the outer edge of the goalpost and jumped out of the bottom line...
"It's so dangerous!" He Feng exclaimed, "After the start of the second half, Portugal clearly stepped up their offensive! Now they really have no other choice but to attack. Such pressure on the offense will of course create a void in the defense, which will create a gap for the Chinese team.
Counterattacks create opportunities. But Portugal is not qualified to think so much. As long as they can draw the Chinese team, they will definitely get the right to qualify, so in fact, they only need one ball..."
Yan Kang added: "But if we can score another goal, what they need is not a goal."
He Feng: "So Portugal must score goals as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to them."
The Portuguese commentator shouted: "Come on Portugal! Barea should better play his key role as the core! He should organize an attack near the Chinese team's penalty area, not just score goals by himself!"
He seemed worried that Barea was too obsessed with scoring goals himself.
After all, in Tramed, head coach Jason Riley built his offensive tactics around Barea. The entire team serves Barea, and he has absolutely unquestionable right to fire.
If he wants to, he can shoot from anywhere.
So Barea has scored more than 25 goals in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons.
Moreover, Barea was injured in the first half of this season, which affected his attendance rate. As a result, he finally scored 26 league goals and was the top scorer in the Tramed team.
Tramed benefited from this tactical change and reached the Champions League final in his first season after taking over the team.
In the second season, they won the Premier League championship.
Barea proved with goals and results that he can carry the team on his shoulders.
But it was precisely because of this kind of tactical demolition and reconstruction that Luo Kai lost his position.
Tramed reached the Champions League final last season, but Luo Kai failed to gain the trust of head coach Lai Li and sat on the bench for 90 minutes, failing to become the second player to play in the Champions League final after Hu Lai.
Chinese players allowed Chen Xingyi to catch up from behind.
Some people always say that Luo Kai decided to leave the team because the club did not renew his contract.
But in fact, the rift may have appeared in that Champions League final.
For a professional player, especially a professional player from China, it is such an amazing achievement to be able to participate in the Champions League final... Luo Kai's hope was simply killed by head coach Jason Riley.
Perhaps it was at that time that Luo Kai realized that Tramed was not his destination.
Barea performed well in the club, but the Portuguese commentator was worried that this would put Portugal's offense in a quagmire. After all, the Chinese team only needs to defend Barea to contain most of Portugal's offensive threats.
Barea has now scored two goals in this World Cup and is Portugal's top scorer.
The final finisher of most of Portugal's attacks was indeed Barea.
※※※
Wang Guangwei is the "main person responsible" for defending Barea.
He could clearly feel that Barea had a different feeling in the second half than in the first half.
Barea exerted his strength.
If Tramed's number one star plays with all his strength, it will indeed be much harder for him to defend.
Barea has comprehensive skills, and his background as a winger also gives him good small skills, which helps him get kicking opportunities in small spaces like the penalty area.
And his physical fitness is also quite good. Even though his appearance is not that of a "muscle maniac", Wang Guangwei can still feel the strength of Balia's core strength after actually fighting hand-to-hand.
Just like now.
Barea crossed into the ribs of the penalty area, and he followed up. The two of them put their arms up and started fighting in the penalty area.
Wang Guangwei pushed Barea outward very hard, but with little effect. Barea was not squeezed out of position and finally successfully received the pass.
Then spread your legs and cum!
Wang Guangwei was a little slow in his tackle, and the football escaped from his feet and went straight to the near corner of the goal!
Fortunately, goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan had already blocked the near corner.
However, facing such a decisive and powerful shot from Barea, he could only reflexively go to the ground and use his feet to block the football from the baseline.
Portugal was given a corner kick.
This was Portugal's second corner kick in five minutes.
During this period, Portugal, which was fully attacking, suppressed the Chinese team.
Although after Portugal pressed forward, there was a lot of space behind them for the Chinese team to counterattack.
But what if the Chinese team is so suppressed that even halftime is miserable?
What else to fight back?
※※※
Portugal's corner kick did not directly threaten the Chinese team's goal because they did not kick the ball in front of the Chinese team's goal and then let the players from both sides compete for the top.
They took a tactical corner kick.
Luisinho took the initiative to run to the corner flag area and asked for the ball from Jota Serreo, who was taking the corner kick.
After getting the ball, he immediately took the ball towards the Chinese team's penalty area.
As a left winger, this time he switched to the right wing.
He wanted to dribble the ball directly into the penalty area, but was intercepted by Chen Xingyi here, so he could only use the outside instep of his left foot to push the football outward, get out of Chen Xingyi's way, and then circle around from the outside of the penalty area.
Chen Xingyi followed him and turned, always stuck on the inside.
At the same time, Hu Lai also came up from the outside to help defend.
Seeing that Luisinho was about to fall into a double-team defense, Ricardo Barea quickly retreated from the center to the edge of the penalty area, moved closer to Luisinho, and shouted: "Pass it here!"
Luisinho passed the ball decisively.
As soon as Barea got the ball, the Chinese team's defensive players immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Chen Xingyi, who was originally following Luisinho, also turned to grab Barea.
At the same time, Wang Guangwei also pressed close to prevent Baria from turning around.
Barea tried once and found it difficult to break through Wang Guangwei's defense.
However, neither Chen Xingyi nor Wang Guangwei dared to steal the ball easily.
He was afraid that Baria would take the opportunity to fall to the ground.
After all, for Portugal, which is in urgent need of equalizing the score, there is no easier way to score than a penalty kick...
At this time, the defensive players only need to trap Barea. On the one hand, they do not allow him to turn around and shoot. On the other hand, they cut off the connection between him and his teammates. They do not need to rush for success and directly steal the ball from the opponent's feet.
After Barea tried to turn around to no avail, he caught a glimpse of Luisinho's figure flashing behind Hu Lai.
So with his back to the goal, he suddenly used the outside instep of his right foot to pick the football toward his side and behind him!
The football passed over the head of Qin Qi next to Wang Guangwei, catching him off guard!
Qin Qi could only raise his head reflexively and didn't even have time to turn around.
A figure penetrated from outside him!
"Luisinho!"
"Lin Zhiyuan!"
Chinese team goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan left the goal and attacked!
Luisinho, who broke through the Chinese team's defense, looked back and saw the ball coming over. He chose to shoot without stopping the ball!
I saw him twisting and turning as he rushed forward, then using the inertia to rise into the air and sweep across the air!
Lin Zhiyuan jumped up in the middle of the attack, spreading his arms and legs to increase the defensive area.
He knew that he could not control the ball before Luisinho, so he could only turn into a shield...
Luisinho only has football in his eyes, and he doesn't even know where the Chinese team's goalkeeper is now or what defensive moves he made.
Those are all trivial matters, he has to hit the football first!
The football fell and his right foot was swept along with it.
Such a difficult movement left him unable to precisely control where he touched the ball.
It's good if you can touch the ball...
So his right foot just touched the top of the football!
But just like that, the trajectory of football was changed, and instead, he slipped under Lin Zhiyuan by mistake!
Lin Zhiyuan has actually done everything he can do.
Luisinho was betting on kicking the ball - a volley shot was very difficult.
Lin Zhiyuan is also betting that he can touch the ball.
But obviously, he lost the bet...
The football passed under him, bounced off the ground, and then jumped forward into the goal behind him!
“Luisinho—!
"The Portuguese commentator screamed, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Luisinho! Luisinho!
This is his first goal in the World Cup!
He brought Portugal back from the brink!"
"The Chinese team conceded a goal! This is their first conceded goal in this World Cup!"
After scoring the goal, Luisinho turned his head from the ground to look at the goal. After confirming that the football was really inside, he jumped up from the ground excitedly!
He really... scored a goal!
Although he once said what he would do after scoring a goal, he actually had no idea whether he could really score a goal.
Now seeing the football lying quietly in the Chinese team's goal, his mind suddenly came back online after a brief blank.
He remembered what he was going to do...
I saw him waving to his teammates, telling them not to stop him.
Then he ran all the way and accelerated towards the corner flag area.
Then he jumped forward amidst the huge noise.
Raise both hands upward at the same time.
He turned 180 degrees in the air and waved his arms downward.
When he made this move, many people in front of the TV and in the stands stared wide-eyed...
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Luisinho spread his legs and landed firmly on the ground.
He waved his hands together, as if lifting up the invisible cloak behind him!
