From the man behind the football king to the football king

The entire Toulouse Stadium was completely blown away. All the Portuguese fans rushed out of their seats and shouted Bruno's name in unison.

The commentator of the Portuguese TV station in the media area even knelt down to Bruno, and made classic remarks one after another.

"Great Bruno!"

"I can't use any words to describe it now! I can only say, Bruno, I really want to kneel to you!"

"beautiful!"

"When the team needs you most, you can come forward every time. You can do almost anything!"

Belgium's three major defensive midfielders, Nainggolan and Witsel are on the two wings, and Fellaini is in the middle. This is to allow Fellaini to take care of the defense of both wings. After all, he comes on the bench and has higher physical fitness. The starting lineup of Nainggolan and Witsel should be sufficient.

Bruno's range of activities in this game is too large. Not to mention Nainggolan and Witsel, even Bruno himself is a little overwhelmed and can only hold on with one breath.

De Bruyne's corner kick on the right was pushed out. Hazard took the ball from the back and passed the defender. He made a pass from the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area. Batshuayi advanced 4 meters in front of the goal and succeeded in an empty goal.

At that time, the Belgian team attacked, and Hazard's breakthrough was destroyed by Cancelo. The Belgian team got a corner kick opportunity.

Taking the lead twice and being equalized by the opponent twice, both the Portuguese players on the field and the Portuguese coaching staff on the sidelines were under great pressure.

For Belgium, Wilmots replaced Hazard with Fellaini. The Belgian team changed to 4312 and began to strengthen its defense.

He is not convinced!

………………

This block caught Nainggolan off guard and his movements stopped.

In the 80th minute, Belgium launched a quick counterattack, De Bruyne scored the ball, Hazard cut in from the left to avoid Cancelo, and shot low from the edge of the penalty area into the lower right corner.

In the 65th minute, the Belgian team made its first substitution of the game, and they made two substitutions in a row. Wilmots replaced right midfielder Mertens with Atletico forward Carrasco, and Batshuayi replaced Lukaku.

At this time, Bruno suddenly stopped.

Nani could no longer run, but when he saw the ball flying towards him, he still gritted his teeth and chased after him.

As for the Portuguese team, Santos had to strengthen their offensive power and replaced Andre Gomez with Quaresma.

Bachovai celebrated his goal with a backflip.

Time jumped forward to the 85th minute, and Bruno could feel that Nainggolan and Witsel were starting to run a little unable to keep up.

3:2, the Belgian team overtook the score!

Obviously, facing Belgium, which is fully pressing, Santos has no intention of blindly defending, but is strengthening its counterattack.

Santos also quickly made personnel adjustments. He replaced Joao Mario with teenager Renato Sanches.

2:2!

But Bruno was so brave that he took a shot at the moment the ball hit the ground. When he stopped the ball, he took a step forward and pretended to make a sudden pass, forcing Fellaini to follow quickly. .

He heard almost everyone in the audience shouting Bruno's name.

Nani also understood the situation and passed the ball directly.

Bruno had long noticed Nainggolan's position and strategy. At the same time, he also noticed that Fellaini was approaching quickly. The two of them cooperated very skillfully. Just like before, as soon as he stopped the ball, he was immediately trapped in a double-team and could only be beaten. Forced pass back.

Under normal circumstances, Bruno can get the ball, but it is difficult for him to turn around, and the ball cannot stay at his feet. If he is not careful, he will immediately get caught between left and right, and the ball will be easily lost. So Bruno kept running, competing with the opponent, betting on the possibility that he would get the ball when Nainggolan or Witsel couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

It’s not just De Bruyne who is unconvinced, but also Belgium coach Mark Wilmots.

The team's counterattack force must be strengthened, and the Belgians must take advantage of the opportunity to press forward and find opportunities to counterattack and score.

The football followed Bruno's side to the left corner of the Belgian penalty area, but Fellaini was also chasing him.

He keeps running and waiting for opportunities. He always believes that persistence can bring hope!

He has always believed that the world is fair, and if skills are inferior to others, the only way to make up for it is through diligence and hard work.

Even though the time has passed eighty-eight minutes, even though the Belgian fans in the stands are already preparing to celebrate the victory. But at this time, when the Belgian team attacked the Portuguese team's 30-meter area on the left, when De Bruyne wanted to move to the right with his big foot, William Carvalho squeezed him with his body and blocked it with his foot. , the football touched his foot and changed direction.

………………

Behind them, on the court, the Belgian team's No. 7, Kevin De Bruyne, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he looked at Bruno, who was celebrating wildly on the sidelines.

The Belgian players were devastated, while the Portuguese players were in disbelief. All the Portuguese players rushed towards Bruno, each with a kind of worshiping reverence.

………………

This is normal.

The three defensive midfielders composed of Nainggolan, Witsel and Fellaini set up another wall of flesh and blood in front of Belgium's defense. As for Bruno, two of the three midfielders are like dog-skin plaster, sticking to him everywhere at any time.

This is a very obvious signal to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense!

Santos knew very well that with Belgium's powerful offensive power, it would be a bit natural for the Portuguese team to drag the 2:1 score to the end of the game by relying solely on defense.

However, Portugal was unable to score before Belgium equalized.

Ronaldo and the others will definitely support him!

………………

He had not measured in detail how many meters he had run. He was not interested in this.

………………

Bruno groaned secretly in his heart, but he rushed over immediately.

………………

Then, Bruno quickly started to rush towards the back of Nainggolan, which is the left corner of the Belgian penalty area.

Obviously, the Belgian head coach is planning to make personnel adjustments.

Subsequently, the head coaches of both sides made personnel adjustments again.

The moment Nani received the ball, Bruno quickly started running forward and pointed his hand in front of him.

Bruno could feel that as the game time passed, his physical energy was constantly being depleted.

After Wilmots saw Bruno scoring twice to help the Portuguese team take the lead, he quickly asked Carrasco, Batshuayi and Fellaini on the bench to get up and warm up.

Catching the ball, looking up, looking ahead...

However, perhaps due to excessive physical exertion, Nani's technical movements were somewhat out of shape. He was supposed to pass the ball under his feet, but it turned out to be a half-high ball.

If you leave them alone, all your thoughts will be in vain.

As long as he could turn around and attack head-on, he believed he would have a chance.

At this point, the Portuguese team already has four forwards on the field: Ronaldo, Nani, Renato Sanches and Quaresma.

Obviously, Santos decided to fight to the death!

This time, it was the Portuguese team's turn to be cornered.

The decline in physical fitness, the Belgian team's targeted tactical adjustments...many reasons caused the game situation to change.

"Bruno's performance is so shocking! It's so exciting!"

Under pressure, Portugal quickly conceded another goal.

After Carrasco came on the field, he was very active and soon got a chance on the right side of the penalty area. He shot with his right foot and almost broke the Portuguese goal.

After picking the ball, Bruno quickly bullied Nainggolan and blocked him with his body.

Then Nani saw Bruno!

………………

He has not thought in detail about how to create opportunities, and it is useless to think about it now.

But this time, he really ran out of time, so Bruno decided to take a gamble.

………………

Sometimes, the football field changes rapidly, and it is this pause that makes Nainggolan unable to catch up with Bruno.

Facing the frantically pressing Belgian team, the Portuguese team once again retreated to its own half and continued to adopt defensive counterattack tactics. But unlike the first half, it was difficult for them to get so many chances this time.

Nainggolan's physical energy was almost exhausted, and his reaction was half a beat slower. When he caught up, he was one step behind Bruno, but he chose to block Bruno's side and behind. He thought that as soon as Bruno stopped the ball and turned around, He just put his foot down.

He also always believed that he would still have a chance.

Facing the ball passed by Nani, after Bruno judged the route, instead of stopping the ball, he stretched out his right foot and picked it.

Falling behind again has forced the Belgian team into a desperate situation. If they want to continue in the European Cup, they have no way out except attacking!

If the Portuguese team can score again through counterattack before Belgium equalizes the score, the game will be more stable.

Belgium expanded the score in the 78th minute.

With one attack and one defense, the game once again fell into a stalemate.

This kind of ball is difficult to handle and difficult to catch. Even after catching it, it is difficult to handle the next step.

The commentator, the Portuguese fans in the stands, and the fans in front of the TV were all shocked by Bruno's goal, and the players on the field were no less impressed.

Gradually, Bruno forgot about time and everything. He only felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter.

…

This also strengthens the offensive power.

The tall and powerful Belgian midfielder pressed forward step by step, giving Bruno no chance to breathe.

The three of them have a very clear division of labor, so no matter where Bruno goes, someone will be entangled with him immediately, and the second person will definitely be behind him to help protect him, ready to step forward and defend at any time.

Suddenly fast and slow, Bruno finally stopped the ball.

In the left corner of the penalty area, one-on-one, Bruno faced Fellaini.
