Football King Bale
Chapter 488 Breaking the Deadlock
It's not just Ronaldo who is anxious, but the entire Portuguese team, which has been unable to attack for a long time, has gradually become anxious.
Facing a weak team like Wales that advanced to the finals for the first time in history, Portugal couldn't beat their opponents lightly, so how can they compete with strong enemies like Spain and France in the following games?
If Portugal can finally defeat Wales to advance to the semi-finals, the opponent will be either Spain or France, and these two teams are the top five super enemies in Europe.
The Welsh team's style of play is indeed very conservative. In the first ten minutes of the second half, they didn't even have a shot. Most of the goals scored in the 30-meter area of the front field were big-footed clearance balls from the center and back. It was difficult for Bell to get Chance. But Bell didn't become impatient.
Not only was he not in a hurry, he also kept using words and gestures to appease his teammates. He knows very well that even a 0-0 draw against Portugal in 90 minutes is an acceptable score for the Welsh team, but Portugal is different, they must strive to resolve the game within 90 minutes, They still have to save their energy to fight the powerful enemy behind them.
Of course, this problem also exists for Wales. If Portugal can be solved within 90 minutes, it will also be good for Wales in the next game. But such an idea has not yet appeared in the minds of the Welsh players, nor can it appear in the minds of the players. They must show enough patience to deal with Portugal.
Bale gradually noticed that both of Wales' full-backs were pressing higher into the second half. In the first half, in order to defend Bell, their two full-backs usually press one on top of the other to defend, so that three people can double-team Bell at any time. Add in the goalkeeper and they have four men to deal with Bale.
But as the first half failed to start the situation, after the start of the second half, their two full-backs could no longer sit still, and frequently followed up boldly to attack.
All the details showed the Portuguese team's eagerness to score.
Coleman was also sweating profusely on the sidelines, calling the players constantly, signaling everyone to calm down and be patient.
Bell also ran back to the midfield when the ball was dead, and told the Welsh midfielders headed by Ramsey: "If you have a chance, go to the side more, counterattack and hit the wings directly, and I will run over to respond."
After a simple sentence, Bell ran away again. Ramsey and the others quickly understood.
………………
As the game time entered 60 minutes, the head coaches of both sides had no intention of making substitutions.
Portugal continued to organize and create chances in the Welsh half,
But the Welsh players still stood firmly in front of the penalty area.
Bell is still cruising around the center line, he runs a lot laterally, and no one pays attention to his running rules. The ball went to the left side of the Welsh team, and he was closer to the right center back of Portugal. Only the players of the Welsh team know that Bell has been waiting for the pass from his teammates behind him.
Bell's waiting is the hope of other Welsh players. And with hope, everyone has the motivation to continue tenaciously.
For such a game situation, Bell is also very uncomfortable. At Manchester United, even facing European strong teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, teammates can create opportunities for frontcourt players, it's just a matter of how much. But tonight, in the match against Portugal, the Welsh team was really forced into a very embarrassing situation.
The gap in strength gave Bell no reason to blame his teammates. After all, this is a fact that no one can change.
Fortunately, although these Welsh players are less capable, real professional players do not have much of a problem in terms of physical fitness, and they still have basic qualities. Able to keep the overall formation stable.
This is not easy, because as long as the formation is not chaotic, the lower limit of the team's strength will not be too low. It seems that he watched those Eastern national footballers play in another time and space. At this time, it was basically a game of loose sand, so the team often suffered disastrous defeats.
………………
The Portuguese team once again sent the ball into the 30-meter zone of the Welsh team. However, the Welsh team had enough defensive staff and tightened up very tightly in the middle, which did not give the Portuguese team a chance to penetrate, forcing the opponent to pass back to the center line.
Portugal's left central defender Pepe, who was born in Real Madrid, received the ball and saw Bale running towards him, and quickly crossed it to the right central defender Alves in the central circle.
Bale immediately dropped Pepe, turned and approached Alves.
Unexpectedly, before Bell ran into the middle circle, Alves directly transferred the ball with a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the right of the Welsh team again.
Portugal still insisted on playing its own left, which is the right of the Welsh team. This direction has the sharpest knife in Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo!
Bell immediately turned around and ran back to the right again.
Andrew Crofts quickly followed the opponent's player back and formed a zone defense with Neil Taylor at the same time.
When Ronaldo moved the ball to the middle again, David Vaughan suddenly rushed out of the penalty area and took the ball away first.
With this break, the situation on the field suddenly reversed.
Bell's first reaction was to observe his position with the Portuguese back line, and he was not offside!
David Vaughn almost put all his strength into passing the ball forward with a big foot. At the same time, Bell also started instantly, sprinting forward quickly.
At this moment, Bell was like a cheetah staring at the food, tearing through Portugal's defense line with lightning speed.
………………
Lineker shouted excitedly: "Wales quickly launched a counterattack! David Vaughn made a long pass behind him. Bell started it. The referee did not blow his whistle and was not offside!"
After the ball flew across the half court, it landed quickly. Bell's speed is also extremely fast, chasing the ball all the way, the Portuguese goalkeeper did not dare to attack rashly, and finally let him catch up with his teammate's pass on the left side of the penalty area.
But Portugal's two central defenders, Bruno Alves and Pepe, also returned to the defense very quickly, chasing behind Bell. When he received the ball, they had already returned to the penalty area, and one was blocked in the penalty area. In the left corner area, one is slightly behind, ready to help defend at any time.
After Bell caught the ball, he didn't slow down, but quickly dribbled the ball towards Pepe in the penalty area. He is very clear that waiting for his teammates to come up, Portugal's defense will also fall.
You can't wait, you can only do it yourself!
As soon as Pepe returned to the penalty area, he saw Bell rushing over with the ball very fast, and he didn't intend to give him any chance to breathe. This made him stare at Bell as if he was facing a big enemy.
With the lessons learned from Real Madrid's Manchester United double play led by Bell in the Champions League quarter-finals, the backbone of Real Madrid's defense knows better than anyone how terrible Bell is, because in those two games In this season, Bale scored four goals alone, and almost single-handedly eliminated the mighty Real Madrid from the Champions League.
Especially in the crucial Bernabeu battle, Bale even made a wonderful hat-trick, making Real Madrid lose face in front of 80,000 fans at home.
………………
The two met in the left corner of the penalty area.
Bell's left shoulder sank first, and the whole person leaned closer, feeling as if he was going to the bottom line, and took the opportunity to rush into the penalty area. Pepe was forced to give up his position because he was standing in the penalty area. If he had a direct confrontation and had obvious physical contact with Bell, it was hard to guarantee that Bell would not take the opportunity to fall to the ground and earn a penalty.
Bell had already been mentally prepared for his reaction. One-on-one, as long as he entered the penalty area, the defensive players would basically have no choice but to be in an extremely passive and embarrassing situation, because they were worried about penalties.
Bell is now sure of the opponent's mentality, so he is not afraid that he will not be fooled. After seeing the opponent give way, Bell quickly snapped the ball back with his left foot.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if the two had just made contact, Bell passed Pepe and dribbled the ball inside along the penalty area line.
Dalglish exclaimed: "The pendulum is amazing! It's Bale's special skill again, the only extraordinary move on this planet other than Ronaldo that can be done-the pendulum!"
Bell didn't get distracted after he passed Pepe. He swung his right foot quickly and was about to hit the goal directly. Bruno Alves, who had been defending behind him, was shocked and immediately stepped forward to block the goal. Blocking.
But Bell didn't shoot directly, but feigned a shot, and then took a step towards the middle. After opening the distance, he shot a powerful angry shot with his right foot!
In this area, Bell also began to gradually find the feeling of hitting the goal with his foot after cutting in from the wing. Use your right foot on the left, and use your left foot on the right. This feeling is getting more and more adept.
Everyone at the scene only heard a bang, as if it was a bolt of lightning, flying out from under Bale's feet. Corner, crashed into Portugal's goal.
Lineker, who has always been known for his gentlemanly demeanor, was also very excited at this moment. He jumped up from the commentary booth and roared loudly: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!! In the 68th minute, the Welsh team finally broke through. Portugal's goal!"
"Bell! It's Bell again! I don't know what words to use to describe my mood at this moment. I now have the urge to worship Bell. He is like an omnipotent god!"
"Bell rushes from left to right, like an elf dancing in front of the Portuguese defense line. The two Portuguese central defenders Pepe and Alves are like clumsy bears, and they are dizzy when they are played by Bell!"
