Chapter 158 Dependence (1)

Portugal attacked, defender Andrade made a long pass to the left side of the front court, Terry used his strong body to stick to C. Ronaldo, his eyes fixed on the whereabouts of the ball, and he was ready to kick the ball to his teammate.

C. Ronaldo's body is not thin, but he is not as thin as Chelsea captain Terry. No matter how hard he tried, he could not squeeze out of position. However, when C. Ronaldo found that he could not squeeze out the fierce-looking big man in front of him, he immediately took a small step back, and then when the ball fell, he quickly moved forward and headed the ball to the side.

However, to Ronaldo's disappointment, he didn't have time to consider the direction of the ball's roll, and the ball still landed at Beckham's feet! Afterwards, Ronaldo ran directly to the backcourt as if he didn't notice Terry's mocking eyes beside him. In such an important game, he would not waste time with a "big fool", at least he thought so.

After receiving the ball, Beckham made a two-on-one cooperation with Gary Neville, cleared his position and looked up at the front court, then kicked a long pass to the front court. In the front of the penalty area, Wang Li used the "Flying Yao Art" to jump high and catch the ball while competing with Miguel, which attracted countless exclamations. Seeing Wang Li's action, the cheers of the female fans in the east stand became more uniform and loud.

After Wang Li got the ball, he rushed forward without hesitation. Although he didn't know the curly-haired defender in front of him, it didn't stop him from dribbling the ball and preparing to pass him. Besides, he had no choice. Even Owen, who was closest to him, had just crossed the center line. Passing the ball back would only make the opportunity slip away in vain.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the left side of the penalty area. All the English fans were expecting their "Prince of Dance" to show his extraordinary strength and perform another good show of single-handedly attacking the opponent. Of course, it would be even better if he could break the deadlock.

On the field, Wang Li was dribbling the ball quickly. When he was about one meter away from the curly-haired player, he turned left and quickly chased after the ball. However, he did not expect that the defender in front of him, who was not good-looking, was so difficult to deal with. He was not thrown off, but stuck to Wang Li. So Wang Li performed the "shadowless kick" without hesitation. He had tried this trick many times and it always worked. The continuous shaking made the English fans in the stands intoxicated and made the cheers even louder.

But the next second, this warm atmosphere came to an abrupt end. Most fans were about to shout loudly, but their voices were stuck in their throats!

Their 'Dancing Prince' was intercepted!

It's incredible!

That's right, when Wang Li was performing the shadowless kick, the curly-haired defender saw the right position and kicked the ball directly out of the field with a savage kick, leaving Wang Li stunned. Since he came into this world, it was the first time that he was intercepted so cleanly by his opponent on the football field, and the opponent was a Portuguese player who was famous for his outstanding skills!

The curly-haired player ignored Wang Li's gaze and ran in front of him, blocking his position, waiting for the England team to take a sideline kick.

At this time, the fans in the stands began to talk. A thin fan with glasses turned around and asked in confusion: "Who is he? He was able to steal the ball from Allen. It's unimaginable. This is the first time I see Allen being intercepted."

The two fans standing nearby shook their heads at the same time. For these pure English fans, apart from a few world-famous players like Figo and C. Ronaldo, they were not familiar with the other players on the Portuguese team.

"Carvalho, it seems that he was named the best defender of the year by UEFA this year." A middle-aged fan at the back replied.

Yes, he is Carvalho!

Ricardo Carvalho!

This year, Porto, led by a young head coach named Mourinho, won the Grand Slam of the Champions League, League Championship and Portuguese Cup!

Carvalho is the indispensable first defender in Mourinho's tactics! With this honor and his performance in the UEFA Champions League, he won the title of UEFA's best defender of the year!

Carvalho, 26 years old this year, has already received honors and experiences that many professional players can't even imagine before even stepping into the top league!

…………

Back on the court, Wang Li encountered a lot of troubles. The curly-haired defender in front of him almost became a curse for him after he came on the court. Whenever he dribbled the ball, he had to face Carvalho. No matter what tricks he used, it was difficult to get rid of this sticky guy!

Near the center line, Wang Li received another pass from his teammate. Although he had been intercepted twice in a row, his outstanding performance in previous games had been recognized by the team. Therefore, they believed that this black-haired boy could get rid of his troubles on his own, and regain his form to bring surprises to the team.

However, after cooperating with Irving in a two-on-two play, Wang Li hesitated in the face of Carvalho's defense!

Having the ball intercepted twice in a row, Wang Li had some psychological problems. Should he pass the ball or not? If he passed the ball past Carvalho, he would have a chance to shoot. Otherwise, if he passed the ball, his teammates behind him would not have a good position. After thinking about it, Wang Li made a decision immediately. He used the "shadowless kick" again. Although he failed last time, he felt that it was just an accident!

'Ah! Fuck!'

'Alan!'

'Penalty!'

…

This is what the fans in the stands cheered the next second!

On the sideline of the Portuguese team's penalty area, Wang Li was tackled by Carvalho, but he did not lie on the ground and pretend to be injured, but stood up with a frown. I have to admit that this curly-haired defender is really good. He ignored his shadowless kick and fell to the ground with a slashing tackle!

It was a beautiful tackle. The Italian referee Collina saw it clearly. He did not blow the whistle but signaled for the game to continue.

'Why do I get intercepted every time? Can he see through my shadowless kick?'

Wang Li was in trouble. It was the first time he felt powerless since he came to the pitch. He stared at the curly-haired defender, thinking about his flaws when dribbling the ball. Carvalho seemed to feel his gaze, turned back and smiled at him, then turned his eyes back to Portugal's attack.

Just when Wang Li was still troubled by the ball being intercepted, the situation on the field changed again. Beckham stood a little too forward in the previous attack and failed to defend Costinha well, which allowed Costinha to receive the ball and calmly cross the ball from the left. Postiga, who came on as a substitute in the penalty area, got ahead of Terry and headed the ball into the far corner from 6 meters in front of the goal.

2:1, Portugal took the lead!

The Portuguese fans in the audience immediately cheered loudly. There was nothing more exciting than overtaking the score in the second half! They seemed to have seen that the Portuguese team was about to defeat their opponents and advance to the semi-finals!

At this time, the big screen camera pointed to the Brazilian coach Scolari on the sidelines. He was seen covering his cheeks with both hands, with a very complicated facial expression, almost dizzy with excitement! Yes, he had reason to be excited. In the final, he replaced the outstanding superstar Figo. How many head coaches in the history of football have such courage? If the game was lost, how much pressure would he bear?

And there is no doubt that he succeeded. Postiga, who replaced Figo, scored the goal to overtake the score!

At this time, the big screen turned to the Portuguese fans' stands, and several Portuguese female fans were even crying with excitement!

Were they happy about the score reversal, or were they moved by Scolari's decisiveness?

No one can explain it clearly except themselves.
