Chapter 333 Silence the opponent

Chapter 333 Silence the opponent

Bruno knew that the team was mainly relying on breath now, so the halftime break was their biggest enemy. Fifteen minutes would not allow their teammates to recover much, but would ruin the team's morale and rhythm. The French team can use the halftime break to make adjustments. Their opponents are not scarecrows.

So going into halftime with a one-goal lead would be suicidal. The second half will definitely change, because falling behind by only one goal will give the French team confidence and motivation, and will keep them thinking about it. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves.

In order not to let the thieves worry about it, the score gap between the two sides must be widened in the first half.

In Bruno's view, the French team, which was ill-prepared mentally, had many loopholes. However, his teammates were indeed in poor condition because they did not have enough rest. Although they were mentally strong, the spirit was not omnipotent, and physical deficiencies could not be solved simply. Rely on spirit to make up for it.

To say that the one with the best physical condition may be Bruno himself now. Although he was not completely rested, his physical foundation was better than others and he could still hold on.

Since the performance of my teammates is a little worse, then I have to do more to make up for it.

"Bruno and Nani did a one-two, and he shot from outside the penalty area... from a long distance -!!"

The football roared towards the goal, but the shot was slightly high. Hugo Lori did not touch the football, and the football flew over the crossbar on its own.

………………

"As long as Bruno appears at the front of the penalty area, the French players will be very nervous. Everyone knows that his long-range shots are very powerful..."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Bruno took another long shot!

This time the football was blocked by the French team's center back Umtiti and the Portuguese team won a corner kick.

The corner kick was taken by Nani, Bruno was in ambush and shook his head to attack the goal, but the football was blocked by Hugo Lori who was well positioned.

The football landed in the penalty area, causing greater chaos. In the end, no one knew who kicked the football out, and the Portuguese team's attack was completed.

The French fans in the stands saw their team performing so poorly and began to transfer their anger to their own team.

"What are you doing! Don't let those Portuguese people show off their power in front of you!"

"We need to attack! Score goals!"

Of course the French players could hear the fans' curses, but they were powerless. Faced with such an aggressive offensive by the Portuguese team, they had no way to fight back.

In the 37th minute, the French team finally got a threatening offensive opportunity. They shot two consecutive shots, allowing Patricio to make a very difficult save and earn a corner kick.

Seeing that the French team's performance had improved, the fans turned their criticism into praise and cheered loudly.

There were bursts of applause in the stands, as well as boos and curses towards the Portuguese team.

………………

This corner kick was the French team's first corner kick of the game, which shows how embarrassed they were on the scene.

The two central defenders, Umtiti and Koscielny, both stood in front of the Portuguese team's goal, preparing to compete for the top.

Bruno also retreated to the goal to participate in the defense. Although he did not want to go into the halftime break with a score of 1:0, he also did not want to go back to the locker room with a score of 1:1.

Payet kicked the football out, but Bruno didn't hit it because Fonte hit it before him.

He didn't even jump up, which bought him time. Seeing Fonte jumping up and pushing the football away, he ran directly out of the penalty area.

After the football was pushed out, it fell to the feet of Nani who was receiving the ball outside.

Nani's back is facing the direction of the attack, with the French players behind him. He cannot turn around.

At this moment, he saw Bruno rushing out of the penalty area. It felt like the fog was lifted and the sun came out again. Without saying a word, Nani passed the football directly back to Bruno.

After receiving the ball, Bruno twisted his hips and made a fake move to distribute the ball directly to the right, causing the French player Moussa Sissoko in front of him to make a slight gap, and he passed through the gap. Drilled through with the ball!

After taking the football out of the most densely populated area, Bruno accelerated and ran wildly.

There are only two French players in front of him now, full-backs Evra and Sagna.

Evra blocked in front of him, and Sagna went to defend Quaresma.

In addition, the Portuguese team's Nani and Sanches were rushing forward. For a while, the Portuguese team formed a four-on-two situation in the midfield.

………………

"This is the Portuguese team's counterattack! An excellent situation! Let's see how Bruno will deal with it. His pass to any point can be almost fatal!"

Nani and Sanchez had already rushed to the point where they were about to be offside. They were on the two wings, and there was no French player there. Quaresma tried his best to rush forward, suppressing Sagna and retreating. Let Nani and Sanches be offside.

"Foul!!" The French fans in the stands screamed in despair. At this time, it seemed that only a foul could stop the running Portuguese.

French veteran Evra, who just celebrated his 35th birthday last month, is very experienced. He did not step forward to steal or foul, because he knew that the opponent's speed was now fully up, and he would most likely end up fouling. He was passed over by the opponent and couldn't commit a foul even if he wanted to.

Evra has played against Bruno frequently at Juventus in the past two seasons, so he naturally knows how good Bruno is.

Helpless, Evra could only passively follow Bruno's dribbling back.

Evra is waiting. When he retreats to the edge of the penalty area, the opponent's space will be much smaller. At the same time, his teammates are also back. Then it will be the best time to defend.

<divclass="contentadv">Bruno certainly knew what the opponent was going to do, so he couldn't let the opponent get what he wanted. He distributed the football to Nani on the wing.

He did not pass the ball directly to Nani's feet, but passed it ahead of time, so that Nani did not have to slow down and wait for the ball, but accelerated to chase the ball, which could help him get rid of the pursuers behind him.

After passing the ball, Bruno continued to accelerate forward and rushed into the penalty area.

………………

When Evra saw that the football was no longer at Bruno's feet, he ignored him and rushed behind him.

At the same time, Sagna dropped Quaresma to guard Nani on the wing.

Bruno, who ran into the penalty area at this time, raised his hands and signaled Nani to pass the ball.

Nani had just received the ball and had only taken two steps when the opponent's defensive player Sagna was already rushing to him. He quickly passed the ball and the football flew past Sagna and towards the goal.

Bruno accelerated and sprinted as he ran, then leaped high into the air.

He jumps higher than anyone else, and Hugo Lori, Quaresma, Evra... and others are all his foils!

He seemed to be flying in the air, free and unstoppable!

The ball has arrived, and so have the people!

Bruno shakes his head and hits the goal!

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the football was thrown towards the goal by him!

Hugo Lloris originally planned to attack and intercept the cross, but he was not sure about the landing point of the football. At the same time, he did not expect that Bruno could maintain such a high altitude after flying in the air for so long. The football was there. Bruno threw him towards the goal in front of him!

He can only pray that Bruno misses the ball or the football is blocked by the goal frame.

But that is obviously impossible!

………………

"GOLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

“TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!"

"The ball is in, it's in!!!!!!!"

Commentators from all over the world shouted in unison.

"2:0!"

"Incredible! Portugal leads France by two goals in the away game!"

"In the 2th minute, Portugal scored another goal and Bruno scored twice! This is also the third time in the history of the European Cup that someone has scored goals in a single game in the finals!"

"Bruno jumped really high with his header this time. It reminded me of Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Once upon a time, Bruno was known for not being good at heading the ball, but after a few seasons, he has become a super aerial master! This jumping ability, this ability to stay in the air, this can be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has left the field due to injury!"

"Is this really the tired Portuguese team? Or is Bruno not affected by that at all?"

"It's unbelievable! The French team was expecting a massacre at home. But judging from the current situation, they might be the ones being massacred!"

……

The fans of the French team must not have expected that their team would fall behind the Portuguese team by two goals before the first half was over.

Bruno's goal happened right in front of their eyes. They saw it very clearly. From Bruno's diagonal insertion into the penalty area to his high leaping header, they saw every detail clearly.

But this only makes them angrier: What are our defensive players doing? ! Why are our defenses so vulnerable? !

After scoring the goal, Bruno did not celebrate by putting his hands behind his ears and listening to the boos, because this time there were only sporadic boos at the Stade de France, and many French fans chose to remain silent at this time.

Blindly booing the opponent's players no longer works. They are now more willing to vent their anger on their own players.

………………

Bruno, who scored twice, ran all the way to the corner flag area, where he stretched out two fingers to the fans in the stands, indicating that he had scored two goals.

He was quickly overwhelmed by his teammates. Everyone surrounded him and yelled at him excitedly.

"Did you really get woken up yesterday, Bruno?"

"I can testify that he really got up yesterday, but why are you so energetic now?"

"You are such a monster!"

"Well done, Bruno! Haha! Let's score more of their goals!"

"Oh! That's great, Bruno!"
