"pretty!"

Seeing Cancelo making an emergency stop, smashing the ball, and passing the ball, the Portuguese commentator was also full of praise.

Just when Smalling rushed up, Cancelo passed the ball. He did not pass it to Bruno and Rafa Silva in the penalty area, but passed it to Nani who had sprinted to the edge of the penalty area to receive the ball.

After receiving the ball, Nani swung his feet to shoot directly. Cahill did not dare to neglect and rushed forward to block the shot. However, Nani's shot was fake and the pass was real. He pushed the football to Joao Mario on the left.

"Joao Mario! Free!"

England's right back Kyle Walker had been guarding Joao Mario. When he saw the ball being passed to Joao Mario, he immediately rushed towards Joao Mario, pressing the opponent and blocking the opponent's shot. .

However, Joao Mario also did not choose to shoot. He received the pass from Nani and without any hesitation, directly pushed the football horizontally...

Considering that the European Cup has not yet started, the Portuguese team has an injured number, and he is still a very important player. This is not good news.

"This goal may be like a stone, pressing on the hearts of the England players, and the balance of victory and defeat in the game has tilted." Gary Neville said.

"Rough foul, rich family, hahaha." Santos sneered.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"

Santos had no choice but to replace the injured Nani with Quaresma.

………………

Seeing Santos's substitution adjustment, Hodgson was slightly disappointed. He wished that the Portuguese team could reduce its midfield defensive power and strengthen its offensive power.

In the crowd, Bruno broke out from Rooney's side. He received the football in the penalty area and was not offside. England's defensive players were disrupted by the Portuguese team's continuous passes, so that no one was marking Bruno at this moment.

Although it is a warm-up match, Hodgson obviously does not want the England team to suffer a defeat at home.

Hodgson ultimately decided to keep Alli on the court.

Santos's eyes lit up. He praised the old guy Carvalho. He didn't see what Carvalho was doing. After a few words with Cahill, an experienced veteran like Cahill took action.

"Lewandowski! Beautiful!" Lineker exclaimed.

Trailing 0:1, there are still more than 20 minutes left in the game. Objectively speaking, England still has a chance to equalize the score, or even take the lead. Therefore, Hodgson still has certain expectations for the game.

Obviously, this is an adjustment to strengthen the offense.

………………

However, as the game progresses and you look at the scene, you will know that it will be difficult for England to come back.

Rooney immediately came up to him. He couldn't let Wilshere suffer.

Hodgson shouted from the sidelines, his head spinning. He was obviously aware of the impatience and confusion of the players on the field.

time flies.

Players from both sides quarreled and pushed on the field. The referee's whistle sounded loudly, and two linesmen also ran in to stop the conflict.

"Do you want to replace Ali?" the assistant coach asked Hodgson.

The Portuguese team used Sanches' speed to frequently attack England's defense in the final moments of the game. The 18-year-old made England left-back Danny Rose very embarrassed for a time.

Ali failed to succeed in two consecutive breakthroughs with the ball. It can be seen that Ali's physical fitness is in crisis.

The captain of the Portuguese team, Carvalho, went directly to the referee to complain, meaning that for such a bad foul, you can handle it.

Andre Gomez met Harry Kane. You take a step forward, and he takes a step back. Then he takes a step forward, and he takes a step back again, but he doesn't make a move.

………………

The Portuguese players were not in a hurry after getting the ball. They passed the ball around, making a series of skillful and quick passes that even stunned the English team.

"Low shot! Beautiful - the ball went in! Bruno Fernandez, he scored. In the 69th minute of the game, Portugal scored. They scored first at the new Wembley Stadium and captured England's goal. The goal... Portugal suddenly pushed hard, it was a risky push, and the result was perfect, a goal!”

Hodgson was angry when he saw the football being passed back and forth at the feet of the Portuguese team. The English team players had to press hard to gain possession of the ball. Watching the Portuguese team players pass the ball skillfully back and forth like walking monkeys. You have to grit your teeth.

The England team's players were out of balance and Wilshere directly tackled Nani to the ground.

Alves approached Ali. The tall Alves stared at Ali with wide eyes. Ali raised his neck and did not flinch. Soon Kyle Walker pulled Ali away and met Alves. Huchihuchi glared: Don't bully the little guy, let's have a fight.

The England team strengthened their offensive power, but correspondingly their interception ability in the midfield further declined. Santos is considering whether to replace a defensive midfielder to increase his offensive power.

Santos immediately made a substitution, replacing Adrian with the fast youngster Renato Sanches.

In the middle, Rafa Silva held the defensive player Dier, and then swept the football away.

Bruno got the ball in the frontcourt, and after attracting the pressure of the England team players, he chose to pass the football back. Quaresma quickly released the ball, and Rafa Silva, who retreated to receive the ball, sent the football to the right, and Sanchez Steve dribbled the ball wildly, with Danny Rose chasing after him desperately. In the end, Maguire came up and made a foul, knocking Sanches to the ground. It took a foul to stop this kid's speed. .

………………

Off the field, Santos angrily roared at Hodgson: "Look at your players, what a nasty foul!"

"Those who delay time are useless." Hodgson, who has matured into a mature man, is not good at swearing. He also has a way of swearing.

Especially in the face of Portugal's tougher defense, England seemed even more impatient and at a loss after its two attacks were blocked.

The football rolled over, and Bruno looked up and glanced at England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who was rushing to attack. He swung his foot and volleyed hard into the upper corner of the goal, but when his foot came into contact with the football, it turned into a low shot!

"There's been a conflict!" the Portuguese commentator shouted, and you could hear the commentator's excitement from his tone.

Hodgson had no choice but to replace Harry Kane with Maguire to ensure the integrity of the defense.

The Portuguese team doctor came into the field to check Nani, and then the team doctor made a gesture towards Santos: Substitute!

"F**K!" Santos cursed in anger.

Trailing 0:1, Bruno scored, which was like a blow to the England team. The English players showed signs of irritability and low morale.

For example, in the England team's attack just now, you can see that Sterling moved forward after taking the ball and ignored Harry Kane's request to raise his arms. In the end, the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Cancelo. You know that the England team is in chaos.

However, he finally resisted the urge and temptation. Not only did they not take the opportunity to strengthen their offense, Santos later replaced Joao Mario with Andre Gomez. Now they have the most pure defensive three midfielders: Danilo Pereira, Adri Ann, Andre Gomez.

The players of the Portuguese team immediately showed what it means to have a clear division of labor. Some people were shouting to check Nani's injury, some were shouting for the team doctor to come in, and Bruno rushed towards Wilshere and asked loudly.

"Bruno Fernandez!"

It's a pity that Santos performed very steadily today.

The football was close to the turf, very fast and concealed at the same time. Joe Hart threw his weight to save, and then he realized that he had been fooled. He could only watch the football quickly roll into the net against the turf. .

This suddenly gave the Portuguese players an opportunity to delay the game openly. Nani was rolling on the ground in pain, looking like his leg had been broken.

"The game is over. The game is over. Portugal defeated England 1:0 away from home. In this focus battle, Portugal won. Their midfielder Bruno scored an extremely valuable goal! This is also the reason why Portugal and England played against each other. 10 consecutive games unbeaten. The last time England was defeated was in 1998!

The game soon entered injury time, and the fourth official marked injury time: 4 minutes!

………………

On the contrary, the England team's luxurious offensive line did not pose any threat to the Portuguese team's goal. The tired Ali even made a mistake in stopping the ball and directly stopped it to the opponent player, a very rare mistake for him.

Santos jumped in anger, and Hodgson was also angry and swearing. It turned out that Cahill, the grumpy veteran center back of the England team, made a move during the quarrel with the Portuguese team captain Carvalho, and was shown by the referee. Received a second yellow card and then a red card.

On the court, the Portuguese players were celebrating the goal excitedly.

However, not replacing Ali does not mean not making adjustments. Hodgson replaced Vardy with Sterling and replaced Milner with Wilshere.

Santos was irritated.

"Don't think I don't know what you want to do?" Hodgson pointed at his watch and responded loudly.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

This red card is nothing more than another heavy blow to the England team.

In fact, this adjustment was also criticized after the game. When attack was needed, he had just replaced a forward and was forced to replace another forward. Although this is not wrong in principle, the media criticized Hodgson for not being crazy at the last moment. The courage to fight for his life, otherwise, he could not make any substitutions and maintain three defenders to ensure the integrity of the offensive end.

The two sides restarted the ball in the center circle and the game continued.

………………

………………

Six days later, Portugal faced Estonia, its last opponent before the start of the European Cup. In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo returned, but Bruno took a rest. The Portuguese team finally beat the opponent 7:0, ending all warm-up matches with three consecutive victories.
