N-A-A Chapter 303
Chapter 303
The French players played a little confused and in a dilemma.
Although Deschamps gave offensive instructions on the sidelines, he was afraid of Portugal's counter-attack, and the players could not implement it firmly.
After all, even Deschamps himself is not resolute, how can he ask the players!
Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, there was very little time left in the first half of the game.
Deschamps kept looking at his watch and turned to look at the bench on the sidelines.
He wondered who could make a difference in this case.
However, seeing that the first half is coming to an end, France must attack.
It is best to have gains, and even if there is no gain, there is not enough time for Portugal to fight back.
With his resolute gestures, France used the last bit of the first half to launch an onslaught.
Pogba dribbled forward, a long leg straddling guard, indeed not easy to break.
Valbuena was on the side, and the two worked together to advance the attack not far from the Portuguese penalty area.
Merilees and Pereira grabbed the pincers, not giving the two a chance to move forward.
However, at this time, Pogba suddenly split the ball to the right wing, and Griezmann has been waiting here for some time.
Although Coentron had kept his distance before, he immediately met and prepared to defend Griezmann's breakthrough.
But Griezmann immediately returned Pogba, and then took advantage of Coentrão's slow reaction by half a beat and rushed straight behind the Portuguese defender line.
Pogba kept the ball going, rubbed up and picked up a pass that allowed the ball to go past the head of the Portuguese centre-back.
And Griezmann just ran into place at this time, and actually formed a single knife momentum for a while.
The French fans in the stands were thrilled, a threat that France could hardly see in the first half.
Pepe was horrified, turned around and subconsciously wanted to tackle, but when he thought of the consequences of doing so, Pepe was also a little prodded.
After all, the stupidity of the first game of the group stage against Germany is still vividly remembered.
It doesn't matter if he is sent off, but if he leads to the elimination of the team, he is a sinner of Portugal!
So Pepe just chased back with his life, but did not dare to make extra moves.
Portugal goalkeeper Patricio chose to drop the net and rush towards Griezmann.
Griezmann looked at the angle of Patricio's blockade and realized that it was difficult to take advantage of the direct shot.
So he chose to use a feint and then smashed the ball past Patricio, who was crossed to the bottom.
This ball has it!
Griezmann followed the trend with a push and kicked the ball towards the empty goal.
But at this moment, I heard a sudden exclamation from the stands.
As soon as Griezmann stepped out, he felt a gust of wind passing by.
It's an unstoppable force!
Then, Griezmann was also shocked!
He suddenly saw a figure running towards the empty door like lightning, and made a horizontal tackle in front of the goal to intercept.
At the moment when the ball had already rolled towards the goal line, the figure blocked the ball with a shot.
Interception successful!
All the Portuguese fans erupted into an earth-shattering cheer, a kind of excitement and joy for the rest of their lives!
This figure quickly got up and drove the ball directly to the front court, completely lifting the crisis in front of the Portuguese goal!
And in the next second, several Portuguese players nearby have rushed over, excitedly holding this figure, venting excitement and excitement!
At this time, Griezmann saw clearly that the person who blocked his goal on the goal line just now was Xu Ning!
Holding their heads incredulously, all the French goalkeepers looked in disbelief at an opponent who was more excited to celebrate than a goal.
There is only one thought in their heads!
How can it be?
The French team's attack has been very sharp and very successful!
To be able to form a single knife is to completely shred the opponent's defense.
They proved to be able to threaten the Portuguese goal.
But who would have thought that at the moment when the ball was about to roll into the goal, it was Xu Ning, Portugal's super attacker, who appeared in front of the goal, blocking the French team's must-score!
Do you want to be so crazy?
You're a striker!
You're an arrow character!
Why did you rush all the way to the goal in defense and complete the rescue in front of goal?
Even a midfielder would probably not be so surprised if he accomplished such a feat!
But now this person is Xu Ning, so they can't accept it anyway!
Xu Ning was also very excited at the moment.
Just now the French team launched a raid, but he felt bad for no reason, so he rushed back like a hanger.
Ronaldo was still a little surprised, and he didn't know what Xu Ning was going to do.
But now he knew.
If it weren't for Xu Ning's divine defense, he didn't give up when the French team formed a single empty goal, and resolutely ran back, then the French team would probably have scored by now!
What an absurd thing this is!
Even though Portugal escaped, all the players on the pitch should feel ashamed and ashamed!
Letting Xu Ning, the arrow figure who led Portugal's attack, save in front of goal was a dereliction of duty for their defenders.
It was then that the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
The Portuguese players walked off the pitch in high spirits, while the French players next to them were depressed to the extreme.
Such a sharp contrast with the opponent has appeared more than once.
The French team apparently did not escape the situation of facing Portugal!
Portuguese players naturally don't pay attention to their lost opponents, they can't celebrate.
Back in the dressing room, Paulo Bento did not skimp on praising Xu Ning, and he was almost going to praise Xu Ning!
You know, just now the raid of the French team, even he was shocked, and his back broke out in cold sweat.
After all, there are many factors that affect the situation on the football field.
If the French team can get one back in the last moments of the first half, the morale boost for the French team will be too obvious!
It is possible that Portugal will even have to temporarily pull back in the second half to deal with a demoralized French team.
And a lead by one goal is obviously not safe, and the tolerance rate is too low.
Paolo Bento doesn't want to be scared in a game.
But fortunately, at the critical moment, Xu Ning appeared in front of the goal like a god, blocking the French team's must-score.
Xu Ning is simply the savior of Portugal!
This ball alone is probably enough for Xu Ning's fans to blow for a lifetime!
However, Paolo Bento was not careless and began to lay out the tactical details of the second half in detail.
It turns out that once the French team attacks at full strength, it can definitely threaten Portugal.
France is not a baseball country!
If you are careless, Portugal is not without the possibility of overturning!
Portugal's best result at the World Cup was reaching the last four.
As long as this match beats France, Portugal will equal the best World Cup record of the national team.
Road, step by step!
Let's win the French team first!
