From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 315 The first goal of the European Cup

"Coach Hallgrimsson was too conservative," Alan Hansen said.

"It's timidity." John Mortensen, an old man, said even more bluntly, "Hallgrimsson's timidity, compared with the determination to win shown by the Portuguese coach Santos, this may be the reason The reason why the Portuguese team now scores another goal and takes the lead.”

"When you have accepted the draw in your heart and hope to fight for the end of the draw, you are actually afraid in your heart, afraid of losing, but whatever you are afraid of will come." John Mortensen spoke very fast and sharply criticism said.

………………

2:1!

This is also the final score.

Upon observing this, Bruno made an immediate decision.

The ball went over the heads of the Austrian defenders in the penalty area and quickly fell to the back point.

The Austrian defenders got back very quickly.

………………

In the 67th minute, midfielder Andre Gomez intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack. When Bruno stopped the ball, he threw away the Austrian defender and quickly advanced with the ball in the middle.

Listening to Santos praising his players there, some reporters felt bored, while others nodded in approval with excited expressions. The former is Icelandic media, and the latter is not only Portuguese media, but also Austrian media and Hungarian media. They are also happy when the Icelandic team loses.

"A quick counterattack from Portugal!"

Of course, it would have been better if the two teams tied, but unfortunately, the Iceland team did not live up to expectations.

He quickly rushed to the left side of the small penalty area without jumping. When the ball flew over, he stood firmly on the ground with both feet and leaned back slightly. When the ball came to him, he quickly leaned forward again.

In the first round of Group F, Portugal defeated Iceland 2:1, while in another game that ended earlier, Hungary defeated Austria 2:0.

When he saw Bruno attacking with the ball, Ronaldo reacted quickly and pulled to the right, which not only opened up a defensive gap for Bruno in the center, but also made it easier to respond. Bruno saw him and quickly passed the ball.

Bruno quickly got up from the ground, quickly walked to the sidelines, opened his arms, and his whole body was extremely excited.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!"

As a result, Hungary ranked first in the group with a goal difference advantage while sharing 3 points with Portugal.

In fact, this was the case. In the second round of the group match four days later, the Icelandic team drew 1:1 with Hungary, which had previously defeated Austria, ranked tenth in the world, 2:0 at the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille.

At this moment, Cancelo saw Bruno pointing his right hand at the top of his head and immediately understood.

He deliberately aimed for the far corner, which was back to the right side of the goal.

This is asking him to pass the high ball!

Cancelo made a prompt decision and passed the ball directly to the back point before rushing to the baseline.

Cancelo strode forward and rushed directly towards the baseline.

"The Portuguese team made a quick counterattack. Cancelo rushed to the baseline with the ball..."

"Bruno got rid of the Austrian defender, continued to rush forward with the ball, and distributed it to the right..."

Although there are no top stars in this Austrian team, the most famous one is Bayern defender David Alaba. However, the overall strength of this team is still very strong. In the group stage, they had 9 wins and 1 draw, beating Russia, Sweden and other teams with an undefeated record. While ranking first in Group G, their world rankings have also been rising. to tenth in the world.

"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!!"

Bruno worked hard, and all the strength in his body was transmitted to his forehead through the core muscles of his waist and abdomen. He also hit the ball accurately. This made the ball change its original flight path after he topped it. He also lost his balance and fell forward.

………………

At the post-match press conference, Santos was not modest. He praised his players fiercely.

Bruno was very fast, rushed directly to the penalty area, and determined where the ball would land.

This is his first goal in the European Cup!

Many Portuguese fans who came to Nuremberg to cheer for the Portuguese team cheered crazily!

"We can see from the slow motion that the Austrian players returned to defense very timely. Two players have already come to the penalty area and blocked Bruno. Cancelo had no way to pass the ball directly from the ground to Bruno. And Bruno had a gesture that indicated he could pass the ball high."

………………

After losing the ball, Hallgrimsson seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly replaced Gudjohnsson to strengthen the attack. However, the helpless counterattack set off by the Iceland team at the last moment did not bear fruit. When the referee blew the end of the game, When the whistle blew, the score did not change again. The Portuguese team defeated the Iceland team 2:1 and took away three points from the Guichard Stadium.

This is due to their solid defense. Bayern defender Alaba, last season's Premier League champion Leicester City defender Fuchs, Borussia Monchengladbach defender Hinteregger, Stuttgart defender Klein, Premier League Hornet defender Prodl... these defenders who play for the five major league teams The defense formed by this team allowed Austria to only concede five goals in ten games during the qualifying stage, making it one of the best defensive teams.

"Thanks Bruno! Thanks for the header!"

………………

Ronaldo leaned against the defensive player with his body. After stopping the ball, he saw Cancelo coming up and immediately passed the ball.

It was also this defeat that made Austria's situation very bad, and also forced them to fight against Portugal, the strongest team in the group. Because once they lose again in the second round, their prospects of advancing to the knockout rounds will be very bleak.

The strength of this team cannot be underestimated. Their rapid return to defense alone is beyond the reach of ordinary teams, and their return to defense has cut off the ground connection between Cancelo and Bruno.

"Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the ball with his back, and Cancelo stepped in. This should be the Portuguese team's offensive routine."

While dribbling the ball, Cancelo did not forget to glance at Bruno.

More than an hour after the game ended, Portugal played Austria at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

But if he didn't pass the high ball, the opportunity created by this rare counterattack would be missed.

"Bruno retreated to get the ball and deftly got rid of the entanglement of the Austrian players. When advancing with the ball, he passed the defender and drove the ball to the right, and quickly passed the ball to Ronaldo."

"In the 68th minute of the second half, the Portuguese team finally scored!"

"Sure enough, Cancelo directly passed the high ball to the back point, and Bruno stepped in..."

Although due to the competition system, even if they are ranked third in the group, they still have hope of advancing. However, with the strength of the Icelandic team in facing Portugal and Hungary, Austria is not sure of winning.

The Austrians have little confidence in defeating Portugal, but they still have some confidence in wanting to draw with Portugal.

He noticed that the Austrian goalkeeper was originally positioned to the right, but when Cancelo passed the ball, he quickly moved to the left. And he is obviously very afraid of Bruno and moves very fast.

Facing Austria with a 4231 formation, the Portuguese team also had a very difficult time in the game. Until the 60th minute of the game, the score was still 0:0.

Bruno seemed to stumble, and quickly put his right hand on the ground. When he looked up, he happened to see the ball flying into the goal!

………………

At this moment, he was so focused that he seemed to have forgotten everything around him. There are no defensive players, only the goalkeeper in front of you.

High pass?

Cancelo was a little skeptical, because the Austrian defense line had strong air defense capabilities, and Bruno might not be able to take advantage.

The Portuguese team is recognized as the strongest team in Group F. The five-shield team with two superstars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno, is one of the favorites to win this European Cup. It is difficult for Austria and Hungary to compete with the Portuguese team. The real rival is Iceland. So the Austrians and Hungarians were happy to see the Iceland team lose.

"Let's go over the scoring process just now."

However, in the first game of this European Cup, they performed poorly and lost 0:2 at the feet of Hungary, which was ranked worse than themselves.

“The ball went in!!!!”

"Goal from Bruno Fernandez!"

This is a contest between the two teams with the strongest paper strength in Group F!

Before the start of the European Cup, the Portuguese team was ranked fifth in the world, while the Austrian team was ranked tenth in the world.

"Iceland is a respectable team, they are strong, aggressive and it will be difficult to beat them. So, I want to praise all the players, they performed great and I applaud the players for their fighting spirit and Work hard and be proud of their performance.”

Therefore, facing Portugal in this game, Austria must get at least a draw, and then defeat Iceland head-on in the last round of the group stage, then Austria's hope of advancement will be clearer.

Although the Iceland team lost, they showed strong combat effectiveness against Portugal, the strongest team in the group, which should not be underestimated.

"Bruno rushed forward with the ball alone, and the Austrian players came to defend him."

"When Portugal was in crisis, Bruno stood up again! This 21-year-old genius, I can no longer describe him in any words, but I am sure that he is definitely the hope of Portuguese football. , not only the present of Portuguese football, but also the future of Portuguese football!”

"This header was very clever. The goalkeeper was moving to the left, but Bruno deliberately headed it back to the right. This made the Austrian goalkeeper completely powerless and out of reach. He could only watch the ball go into the net."

"1:0!"
