Chapter 1979: Familiar plot, is there going to be another penalty shootout?

The time blinked to 25 minutes.

The two sides began to struggle normally.

The two teams are like a couple in their ambiguous period pulling each other.

You want to come in, but I won't let you.

24 minutes 49 seconds.

Suarez, the right-back who plays for Arsenal, passed the ball to Moutinho in the middle.

Moutinho made a light pull of the ball and avoided Rudy's attempt to steal the ball.

Push with your left foot.

It was given to B Fee who was sprinting forward on the left.

B Fee got the ball in the abdomen, but there was no one guarding him!

This is thanks to Ronaldo's positioning.

The German team’s main target of defense is definitely Ye Chen, and Portugal’s is naturally Cristiano Ronaldo!

Emre Can was directly attracted by Ronaldo and began to move towards him.

Just when everyone thought that B Fee was going to organize an attack, he suddenly pushed the ball to the right.

Just kick and shoot!

"Oh!"

The top of the penalty area!

B Fee made a low shot and kicked the ball to the right.

Ter Stegen quickly fell to the ground in front of the goal.

But the football flew towards the goal without hesitation...

"Duang!!!"

The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!

"Goooooooal!!!"

"Portugal's goal came in the 26th minute!"

"A powerful shot from outside the penalty area of ​​Bruno Fernandes..."

"Two seasons ago, Bruno Fernandes was a substitute player in Udinese and not even a starter. But since being brought to Sevilla, he has gradually become the team's frontcourt offensive core!"

"Especially after De Bruyne left, his explosion also kept Sevilla in the La Liga championship race!"

"This ball was played very cleanly!"

Looking at B Fee celebrating, Ye Chen let out a long sigh.

Today's German team has a single defensive midfielder, with Emre Can the only one defending.

Rudy and Goretzka are both organizing midfielders.

But to be honest, a defensive midfielder is a bit too much...

After all, Portugal's attacking line is quite luxurious.

When Emre Can was attracted by Ronaldo, Rudy lost his position because of his rash attempt to steal the ball.

There is inevitably a gap in the middle...

While Portugal was celebrating, Ye Chen looked at Löw on the sidelines.

Loew also saw Ye Chen's gaze and made a gesture of pressing his hands down...

This means that Germany should stabilize the tempo first and not rush into attacking.

There was plenty of time, and they were one goal ahead.

If we can maintain this advantage going into halftime, we can make adjustments in the second half.

Of course, Rudy's intention is to control the midfield rhythm.

But at the moment it seems that the midfield partnership of Emre Can, Rudy and Goretzka has been directly blown up by the combination of Carvalho, Moutinho and B Fee.

But it makes sense...

Who made it so that this Portugal team is played by all its main players?

No, center back Ruben Dias did not play because he suffered an ankle sprain in the last two games of the season and needed to rest for three weeks.

Considering that the player needs to rest, Santos did not call him up at all...

But a football match is a process of gain and loss.

When the German team wanted to slow down the pace, Portugal was not happy.

They also wanted to press on and equalize the score.

30 minutes 23 seconds.

Germany gets the ball from the left side.

Hector threw the ball to Draxler.

Draxler passed the ball back to Goretzka near the penalty area line.

The magnetic card sent the ball to the middle.

Rudy, who had been waiting in the middle, tried a powerful shot just like B Fee.

But the ball was intercepted directly by Fonte!

The football bounced to Moutinho's feet outside the penalty area.

Moutinho immediately changed direction and started counterattacking. Ronaldo and Andre Silva in the frontcourt started running to both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

After looking at the position, he passed the ball directly to Ronaldo!

This year, Ronaldo is already 32 years old.

But when he got the ball and started running forward, he looked almost the same as a 22-year-old boy!

However, Kimmich, who stayed in the backcourt, also quickly approached his position.

Because Kimmich plays for Sevilla, he and Ronaldo are old rivals!

Ronaldo also knew his defensive level and deliberately slowed down the pace.

Kimmich didn't dare to push too hard.

If he speeds up and overtakes us, it will be a waste of time.

"Boom!"

But Ronaldo did not plan to pass Kimmich, but waited for reinforcements from B Fee in the midfield!

The ball just reached B Fee's feet, but who could have expected that a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Boom!"

A precise tackle passed the ball to Mustafi on the back line!

Many fans at the scene applauded!

Ye Chen quickly got up from the ground and immediately ran to the backcourt to add another passing point.

B Fee was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

So it was Brother Chen... That makes sense.

He completed his observation before catching the ball and there was no one around him.

But just as the football came over, a figure suddenly appeared.

It can only be Ye Chen, who has extremely fast burst and speed!

Apart from him, no one else could get close to him so quickly and make an accurate tackle!

But if Germany needs Ye Chen to start defending, then their offense will weaken...

The pressure on Portugal’s defense is much less!

As time entered the final stage of the first half, Portugal gradually took the initiative on the field.

The first half entered the stoppage time.

46 minutes 15 seconds.

Portugal throws in left side.

Guerrero passed the ball to Ronaldo on the wing.

Ronaldo got the ball and started quickly.

Kimmich wanted to defend him, but Ronaldo went straight to his body.

"Boom!"

Kimmich was knocked unconscious and almost fell down.

However, Ronaldo stabilized himself and kicked the ball with his right foot.

The ball spins and Fast finds Andre Silva in the middle!

Many players may not be familiar with him, but just after the end of the season and before the start of the Confederations Cup, AC Milan spent a full 6 million euros on June 12 to bring him from Porto to AC Milan...

You know, AC Milan has always been based on a "frugal" transfer style. This time they actually spent such a huge price to buy him, which shows how much they are optimistic about him!

Although he is only 184cm tall, he is able to predict where the football will land very accurately.

After a short run-up, he jumped high and headed the ball directly towards the goal.

Ter Stegen in front of the goal quickly approached the far post.

But the ball still slipped through his fingers...

"Duang!!!"

The football hit the post hard and bounced back into the small penalty area.

Mustafi, who failed in the header, did not give the opponent a chance to make a follow-up shot. He cleared the ball with a kick and kicked it directly out of bounds!

Seeing this scene, many German fans breathed a sigh of relief.

When Andre Silva headed the ball, I really thought it was going to be lost...

But it seems that goddess luck is on their side for now!

But the first half was thrilling...

It just feels like I've seen this before!

By the way, wasn’t it the Champions League final where Real Madrid won on penalties only because Ye Chen scored two goals in the first half?

Is there going to be another penalty shootout today?

Ps: Brothers, do you think Ronaldo should win or lose?
