Chapter 47 Advance to the top 8 (don’t forget the national humiliation)

Chapter 47 Advance to the quarterfinals (don’t forget the national humiliation)

The Portuguese fans in the stands were already shouting when they saw Bruno wearing his crotch and passing Duncan.

When Bruno faced Rahman Baba and sent the pass, assuming it was true, the Portuguese fans cheered and celebrated.

The cheers finally reached their peak after Esgao put the football into the goal.

"Viva! Portugal!!"

There was nothing the Ghana players could do about this conceded goal. After the attack against Portugal, their midfield lacked a barrier at all. After the football was quickly passed to Bruno's feet, it was almost inevitable that a goal would be conceded.

Facing Bruno, who has excellent skills and speed at his feet, the Ghana team's defense was just exhausted. They just watched Bruno continue to break through, creating a mess in front of the Ghana team's goal, and then sent the football to the most dangerous place.

Esgao's goal became the hammer that crushed the fighting spirit of the Ghanaians. Even though their head coach was jumping up and down on the sidelines and yelling like a monkey, it didn't help.

In fact, even if the will of the Ghanaians is still high, it will be difficult for them to come back again. Portugal's fourth goal occurred in the 89th minute of regular time. After the game restarted, the time reached injury time.

The referee team only gave 3 minutes of stoppage time.

Although Portugal's defense is terrible, at the end of the game, even if they set up a goal kick, it will not be a big problem to survive these three minutes.

Moreover, Portugal doesn't just have to defend completely. They launch a defensive counterattack, which poses a great threat.

This is also true. Although the Ghanaians tried hard to attack during injury time, they ultimately failed to score the Portuguese goal for the fourth time. On the contrary, their goal was almost penetrated by Portugal's quick counterattack.

Finally, when Bruno's kick seemed like a pass and the football missed the goal, the referee blew three whistles to end the game.

………………

"The game is over! The game is over!" Portugal's commentator roared happily, "This is a difficult game. For most of the time, Portugal faced the iron wall of the Ghana team. But these outstanding young people The man showed great fighting power and will, and ultimately changed the situation on the field."

"4:3! Just from the score, you can see how difficult this game is! Bruno is the number one contributor to Portugal's reversal. He directed this comeback with one shot and two passes."

"Felipe! We finally won the game!" the assistant coach hugged Ramos excitedly and shouted.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Ramos hugged his assistant's shoulder, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was already grinning from ear to ear.

Although he only advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Youth Championship, Ramos was still in a very good mood after experiencing such a difficult victory.

Ramos hugged Bruno, the team's hero of victory. He put his arm around the young man's shoulders, and the two of them waved to the Portuguese fans in the stands.

Reporters pressed the shutter to record this moment.

This is really a precious photo: after a crucial victory, the team's two major heroes gave a victory gesture.

………………

"What's the score over there?"

On the way back to the hotel from the Kadir Stadium, Bruno asked head coach Ramos about another game.

According to the schedule, if they advance in the first knockout round, their opponent in the second knockout round will be the winner between Croatia and Chile.

“2:0！”拉莫斯说道，“那场比赛也踢的很焦灼，智利队直到第81分钟才进球打破僵局。4分钟后克罗地亚又送上乌龙大礼，这样才有了2:0的比分。”

Bruno nodded, and the result remained unchanged. Chile advanced.

If he was given a choice, he would choose Croatia to advance. Although Croatia ranked first in Group F in the group stage, Portugal is not afraid of Croatia. Rather than face Chile, which is strong and unfamiliar, he would rather face Croatia, who knows everything about it.

Although Chile was only fourth in the U20 South American Cup, in the group stage, they won all the groups. Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and Bolivia were all defeated at their feet.

However, now that the opponent is confirmed to be the Chilean team, Portugal does not need to be afraid.

………………

<divclass="contentadv">After the quarter-finals, Portugal packed their bags overnight and rushed to Istanbul. Their quarter-final match against Chile will be held in Istanbul.

In subsequent games, Portugal will not return to this Turkish plateau city where they stayed for half a month.

If Portugal is eliminated in the quarter-finals, it goes without saying. Even if they advance to the semi-finals, the semi-finals and finals will be held in Bursa, Trabzon and Istanbul, and Kayseri is not the venue.

There are only 4 days between the quarter-finals and quarter-finals, and the schedule is still intensive. Therefore, on the night when Portugal U20 arrived in Istanbul, Ramos led other members of the coaching staff to formulate tactics for the quarter-finals overnight.

From the Toulon Cup to the present, plus the previous European Youth Championship, Ramos has basically despaired of Portugal's defense, so for the upcoming game against Chile, Portugal's tactics are still offensive.

Although Portugal's defense is stretched, Portugal, with its offensive players such as Bruno, Bruma, Aladegui, and Esgao, is not afraid of scoring goals.

Since you can't rely on defense, use offense to crush your opponent!

Portugal trained like this for three days, and they did the same during the game.

In less than half an hour of the quarter-final against Chile, Portugal's defense proved to the world that they really couldn't be counted on.

Originally, in this game, Bruno assisted Esgao to score in the 11th minute, which was a dream start for Portugal. However, the Chilean team quickly made a breakthrough in the 23rd and 27th minutes, led by midfielder Nicolas Casti. Serie A and forward Angelo Henriquez scored two goals to take the lead.

In the second half, the game was completely open. Portugal, which was attacking with all its strength, scored twice with an assist from Bruno, and helped Caballero, who came on the bench, score to equalize the score, and then personally took the lead.

However, Chilean striker Angelo Henriques, who plays for Manchester United, also showed good form and scored twice to level the score at 3:3.

Just when the game was about to enter overtime, Portugal, which was completely free to attack with all its strength, once again launched an efficient attack.

………………

"An attack by the Chilean team went to the front court, and Enriquez stopped the ball to Robles."

"Robles didn't stop well, and Portugal's Andre Gomez intercepted the ball and moved with his big foot to make a clearance."

"The ball went to the left, Bruma took the ball and Portugal launched a quick counterattack."

"Buluma took the ball down the left wing and Chile was quickly tracking back."

"Lizinovsky and Ulta should be careful about Bruno..."

……

When he saw Bruma advancing quickly along the left wing with the ball, Bruno rushed forward as quickly as he had done before.

Although he failed to create a threat in the past few times and his teammates failed to pass the ball, he still did it.

For offensive players, failure is not terrible, as long as they succeed once, it is enough to be fatal.

While Bruno was sprinting quickly, he was also constantly observing the surrounding situation through the corner of his eyes. He saw Buruma starting to lead from the left to the ribs, which was a very smart choice, so he quickly sprinted forward.

The Chilean team's two central defenders Lizinovski and Huerta both returned to defense very quickly. This is also a major feature of the Chilean team in this game. While they were attacking, they were also worried about the Portuguese team's counterattack.

In an instant, Bruma had rushed into the 30-meter zone of the Chilean team, and the surrounding Chilean defensive players refused to retreat.

On this special day, don’t forget the national humiliation.

Uh... don't forget to collect and vote, thank you!
