Chapter 69 Portugal Causes Trouble

Some are happy and some are sad. In this World Cup, many strong teams failed to perform as strong teams. For example, Germany managed to survive from a desperate situation. After losing in the first round, they lost 2:1 in the second round. A decisive victory over Sweden, leaving a glimmer of hope. This was a soul-stirring battle of the Germanic spirit. The German team was about to be eliminated after sending off one man and was behind in the score. However, it defeated the Swedish team with the last blow in stoppage time.

The most disappointing team is of course Argentina. Argentina, the favorite before the game, was tied by Iceland in the last round. This round, it was even worse that Croatia was under pressure and missed 3 goals! There was no structure or organization in this game. Messi almost never got the ball in the whole game. No wonder Maradona and Batistuta jumped out to attack Argentina and Messi...

Then the third round is about to begin. There is no suspense in Group A. It just depends on the trend of Pig B.

The preparations for the Chinese team were very relaxed. Every training session was open to the public without any reservations. However, Krauchen did not allow the players to be interviewed by the outside world. Although reporters could only walk around outside the training ground, the players were not authorized to do so. , ignored the reporters.

But even so, sharp-eyed reporters still discovered a problem.

Several players have not participated in training recently. They are Zheng Zhi, Feng Renliang and Dong Fangzhuo.

"Why is there no Dong in the training these days?"

The reporter from "Asian Newspaper" was very puzzled. I communicated with another reporter from Marca.

"This unscientific."

"There's definitely something wrong."

"Zheng Zhi was given a red card and suspended for one game, but Feng Renliang and Dong Fangzhuo? Is this sending a signal? They won't start at all?"

"Yes, your analysis is correct. It seems that the German Krauchen has made a decision long ago. They will not let the three of them start at all. They will play as a substitute lineup. This information is already very obvious. "

"Ah, damn, Spain is really screwed."

They immediately covered the speculated news.

But except for the Spaniards, people from other countries think it is not a problem at all.

"Do the Spaniards still want to go out?"

"What were they thinking?"

"They will definitely be eliminated."

"Only they are still dreaming. If I were the leader of the Spanish Football Federation, I would have booked a flight back to China on the day of the game."

"Can pie fall from the sky?"

…

"Dude,"

"Are you taking a day off?"

Ronaldo called and asked Dong Fangzhuo.

"Ah, how did you know?" Dong Fangzhuo smiled.

"That's what the media said. You haven't participated in joint training recently."

"If nothing else, I should be the substitute."

"Yeah, I got it."

Cristiano Ronaldo is very satisfied. Dong Fangzhuo does not play. Doesn't this mean that it is a tacit understanding of the game?

"And you?"

"I...not necessarily...I should also appear on the bench." Ronaldo on the other end of the phone blinked and showed a sly smile.

China is stable, but Portugal is not. Portugal still has ideas. China wants to ensure that Dong Fangzhuo and the others get enough rest and are still healthy for the knockout rounds. But Portugal still wants to aim at first place in the group.

Maybe the opponents in the lower half are easier to deal with.

so……

After the match in Group A that day, Portuguese coach Santos announced his starting lineup.

Looking at the starting lineup, Chinese fans were stunned.

"Nima,"

"Where's the tacit understanding ball we promised?"

"What does it mean to play Cristiano Ronaldo? And it's a solid lineup, with no one missing."

"Hey, that's too much. Are they trying to compete for first place in the group?"

"Dong Fangzhuo is a substitute and did not start, but Ronaldo started. "

…

Chinese fans feel that they have been tricked by Portugal.

However, no one can explain this kind of thing clearly. Krauchen had no intention of letting Dong Fangzhuo start in the first place. As for the players Portugal plays, he has no control over them.

"Bad biang," Dong Fangzhuo also smiled.

"Wouldn't it be over if we just say we are the first starter?"

Dong Fangzhuo was not angry. Whoever he beat was not a fight. According to this year's situation, it seemed that no matter which team he played, it seemed to be the same. There was no difference in which half of the team the team was in.

Krauchen was going to give up the game. Not only Dong Fangzhuo, he has rotated everyone who can.

The Chinese second team started the game, and it was obvious that they had given up.

Seeing the Chinese team's full substitute lineup, Portuguese fans were relieved. As expected, they should be able to win against the Chinese team and take first place in the group.

Portugal launched a fierce attack at the beginning, trying to take the lead as soon as possible. But they still underestimated the Chinese second team.

Although the offensive ability of the second team is very average, the defensive level is not much worse than that of the first team. Although Ronaldo was on the court, Portugal did not score in the first half.

Entering the second half with a score of 0:0, Portugal continued to attack fiercely, but the more impatient they became, the more they could not score. Ronaldo missed two opportunities one after another.

"Ha ha,"

"You're stupid,"

"It's actually a draw now?"

At the critical moment, VAR technology helped Portugal. In the 73rd minute, the referee punished Liu Yang for pulling down Guedes in the penalty area and gave Portugal a penalty kick.

Ronaldo finally scored.

In the end, with this goal, Portugal defeated the Chinese team 1:0, successfully won the first place in Group B, and entered the second half...
