Chapter 38 The first national title

Colombia, which has strengthened its offensive power, attacked like a gust of wind and rain, making Portugal's goal trembling. It seemed as if it was just one step away from scoring. However, Portugal's defense was also very tenacious, not only blocking waves of Colombian attacks, but also able to Play some effective counterattacks. However, due to insufficient investment in offensive power, Colombia's defense was resolved every time.

In this rapid transition between offense and defense, eighty minutes passed quickly.

After Portugal once again defended Colombia's attack and took control of the ball, Joao Mario wanted to pass the ball to Bruno, but was immediately pressured by the opponent's players and had no chance, so he could only pass it back to Canse behind him. Luo, Cancelo immediately kicked the ball to the direction of Bruno outside the 30-meter zone.

Cancelo, who was born in the youth training camp of Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, has good speed and dribbling, and also has good vision and passing ability. He is a defender with good potential. In this Portuguese U20, he has basically taken a seat. Stabilize the main right back position.

However, because the pass was passed in a hurry and the quality was not high, Bruno was a little embarrassed.

If you want to hit the ball with your head, you have to lean over; if you stop the ball with your chest, it will be difficult to handle the next step. Perez has already caught up. As long as he stops the ball a little slowly, he will be entangled by the opponent immediately. The next step will be difficult. Expand; as for using feet, there is no need to think about it.

How to do?

Bruno is a very decisive person. He hesitates for just a moment and makes a decision the next moment.

He predicted the ball's landing point and quickly retreated, but instead of fighting for the landing point, he blocked Colombian midfielder Perez with his body and blocked him behind him.

The football also passed by Bruno's side at this moment, and Bruno turned around as quickly as possible to catch up with the ball while Perez was stunned behind him.

This sudden change and the shocking way of fighting for the ball surprised many people at the scene.

………………

Bruno adjusted his pace during the sprint, and after catching up with the ball, his speed did not slow down. He continued to stride forward, dribbling the ball across the center line and into the Colombian half, forming a quick counterattack.

The fans on the sidelines became more and more vocal.

The Colombian defender quickly rushed over to defend, but Bruno's speed had already picked up, and he kicked the ball forward without losing any strength. He used his speed to forcefully surpass his opponent and caught up with the ball in Colombia's 30-meter zone.

At this time, the only person standing in front of him was the Colombian goalkeeper.

Seeing Bruno getting closer and closer, the pressure on the Colombian goalkeeper increased. Finally, he decided to take a gamble and abandon the goal. The best result is to save the ball, the medium result is to buy time to wait for teammates to return to defense, and the worst result is to be passed by Bruno, or to score directly.

The moment Bruno rushed to the front of the penalty area, the Colombian goalkeeper also rushed to the penalty spot. But at this moment, Bruno suddenly slowed down, his left shoulder sank, and he made a gesture to spike the ball to the left.

The sudden change gave the Colombian goalkeeper no time to react. He immediately and instinctively made a side dive, but he felt the figure in front of him flicker. Bruno suddenly spiked the ball to the right and passed him directly.

The whole process happened so fast, so fast that no one could see the details clearly. They just knew that as soon as Bruno made contact with the Colombian goalkeeper, the latter fell to the ground and jumped sideways, while Bruno knocked down his opponent. Easy push shot into the empty net.

Now he has finally fulfilled his dream, and he is in the finals of an event that has a certain influence around the world. Although the jersey he is wearing is not the one he dreamed of, this makes him feel less excited. , but the joy of scoring a goal has never diminished.

At the referee's urging, Bruno hugged his teammates one by one and waved to the Portuguese fans in the stands before returning to the court.

No matter what jersey those fans were wearing, at this moment, they were congratulating him, and that was enough.

………………

After the game restarted, Colombia U20, unwilling to fail, began to increase their offensive intensity and launched attacks almost desperately. They are the South American champions, a team that competed in the South American U20 Champions League with many strong opponents, and they are the only team to achieve a complete victory in the Toulon Cup group stage!

The Portuguese U20 team, which has never won any championship honors, burst out with great courage and strength when facing the first championship trophy. Facing the strong enemy's offensive, they shrank their defense and united as one. Almost everyone retreated to their own -meter zone, trying their best to hold on to the goal advantage they had finally won.

Colombia failed to break Portugal's goal in the previous 20 minutes. Now that Portugal U has taken the lead and their morale is high, and everyone is trying their best to defend, Colombia has no chance.
