Football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

However, considering that the threats of Ribery and Pires are similar, there is no problem in saying that he is also a Musketeer.

Eighty-six minutes.

Wiltord's appearance almost had an immediate effect.

Although Trezeguet is actually more lethal, he is too pure and can eat the cakes fed by Henry, but it is difficult to create too many opportunities for Henry.

And Wiltord has had a few more years of experience, and now his frontcourt organizational skills are much stronger.

He directly blocked Fonte and tried to turn in the direction of Henry.

How can I, Feng Te, be so smart as to let him spread the word?

Huh!

Where is the ball?

I saw Wiltord knock his heel and pass the football in the opposite direction.

Ribery, who cut inside without the ball, successfully received the ball and directly surpassed Pepe by half a body.

Pepe saw that something was wrong.

Ribery can shoot and pass.

No matter what choice is made, it will almost directly threaten the Portuguese team's goal.

drop!

A whistle blew.

The referee rushed over and showed Pepe a yellow card.

Ribery played less than 20 minutes and received two yellow cards.

But that's not all.

Because the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

"Penalty kick!"

"Oh! My God! It's a penalty!"

"This... the Portuguese players quickly rushed to the referee and they were protesting."

"Deng Kai communicated with the referee. He thought it was not a penalty, but the referee insisted on his decision."

"This is so exciting! It's already the 86th minute, and there are only the last few minutes left before the end of the game. The result..."

"Indeed, the moment Ribery was brought down, his toes were actually a little distance from the penalty area line. He did not step on the penalty area line."

"This was a miscarriage of justice."

"But from the perspective of the referee and linesman, from their perspective, maybe Ribery did step on the penalty area line."

"According to the rules, the penalty area line is also part of the penalty area. As long as part of it is stepped on, it is considered to have entered the penalty area. This is the same as the determination method of the sideline and goal line."

"As long as you step on the sideline, it's not completely out of bounds or a goal."

"You can say this was a major misjudgment, but the result cannot be changed."

Regarding this penalty, everyone can actually reach a consensus.

That is, if you look at the replay, this is indeed a misjudgment and it should not be a penalty kick.

But according to the penalty kick judgment, there is actually not much problem, because it is really difficult to distinguish this level with the naked eye.

Perhaps later, after the popularity of video assistant referees, people have become accustomed to judging whether it is a penalty kick through replays.

But before this rule came into being, when there was a conflict between the referee's penalty and the replay, the referee's penalty would prevail. Replay was only for fans to see what happened at that time, and did not affect the referee's decision.

On the other hand, from the referee's point of view, they prefer to make decisions that have no impact on the outcome of the game.

When they encounter major penalties related to penalty kicks, especially when there is little game time left, their decisions are often the kind of decision that "even if the call is wrong, both sides still have a chance."

For example, now, even if the call is wrong and the French team gets a penalty kick and scores a penalty kick, the score will be two to two.

The game can still go on, and the Portuguese team still has a chance to work hard for victory. There is a high probability that they will not, and they do not have the energy to trouble the referee.

But on the contrary, the French team that did not get a penalty kick may lose the game directly. As a loser, they will definitely find trouble with the referee and make the referee angry.

This is human nature.

If the score between the two sides is 2-2 at this time, then the referee will probably not give the French team this penalty kick.

Because at that time they could not afford the anger of the Portuguese team.

The referee who really dares to make a decision to change the score and end the game at this time is either a truly super awesome golden whistle, but there is a greater chance that he is a super black whistle with a mission.

So this penalty is extremely unfavorable to Portugal, but... at least it proves that there is no other operator behind this game.

Victory or defeat all lies at the feet of the players on both sides.

Ten seconds later, the French fans at the scene burst into joy.

The camera locked on Zidane.

The bald man fired a penalty kick without hesitation to tie the score to 2-2.

Baiya's reaction was more than a beat slow.

According to Deng Kai's analysis, if the French team gets a penalty kick, there is a high probability that Zidane will take the penalty kick.

So Baiya mainly prevents spoons.

Unexpectedly, Zidane is not limited to moves. Although his spoon penalty kick is powerful in all directions, he will not refuse when it is time to pursue a powerful shot from an angle.

He will do the right thing in the right way at the right time.

"Zizou! Zinedine Zidane! He saved France!"

"Ribery! The penalty he made is particularly important!"

"Will Deng Kai now regret recruiting players like Franck Ribery from the French amateur league?"

"His club's most capable assistant gave him a fatal blow in the most important game! I wonder if this will affect Ribery's player relations and status in Manchester City?"

Many people have reason to suspect that if the successfully renewed French team finally wins the Delaunay Cup, Deng Kai might take revenge and put Ribery on the bench or sell him directly!

Eighty-eight minutes.

Both the French team and the Portuguese team were relatively conservative, and neither wanted to be defeated by the other team at the last moment.

Ribery hit a long shot and then quickly retreated.

Second minute of added time.

Deng Kai continuously cooperated with Deco and Ronaldo against the wall, successfully cut inside and then shot.

As a result, Thuram, who was passed by Deng Kai, made a prompt decision, turned around and tackled Deng Kai's shot, predicted Deng Kai's shot, and successfully blocked it.

The third minute of stoppage time.

The French team used up its last substitution, and Sylvester replaced Desailly, who had insufficient energy.

At the same time, it also consumes time and interrupts the Portuguese team's offensive rhythm.

People who are more confident tend to like to take their time rather than making drastic decisions in the last minute or two.

The French team is confident about overtime.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Deschamps has already obtained the player running data sheet for this game.

The Portuguese players ran an average of 800 meters more than the French players.

But the Portuguese team's midfielders ran an average of 1,200 meters more than the French team's midfielders.

Both sides scored the same number of goals.

The number of threatening attacks is also about the same.

This actually reflects some problems.

That is... there are still some gaps in the core of the two sides.

The French team led by Zidane is about 10% more efficient than the Portuguese team led by Deng Kai!

The best midfielder in the world... is still Zidane!

This result is incredible, because Zidane's status, data, and abilities seem to be declining in the past few years at Real Madrid.

The data of Deng Kai, the number one player in the world, is explosive. He was almost locked in this year’s Golden Globe Award and World Footballer in the first half of the year!

In the end, Zidane was better than Deng Kai?

this……

At the referee's whistle, the regular time of this game ends.

The two sides tied at 2-2.

The game will enter overtime in a few minutes.

The French team was full of confidence heading into overtime.

On the Portuguese team's side, all the players formed a circle, and Triguera was among them.

Trigla looked at Deng Kai: "Kai, is it okay?"

Deng Kai smiled and shook his head: "Wait a minute!"

"Everyone, hold on a little longer and help me carry it!"

You can see a lot of things in the statistics of the French.

But we can't see that Deng Kai, who had a strong presence in this game, did not actually dominate the game.

His running data is no less than when he was the core player at Manchester City, and he also frequently participates in returning defense.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that many of Deng Kai's high-level statistics, such as the number of steals and interceptions, the number of attacks initiated, the number of dribbles, the number of aerial duels, etc., are actually higher than when he is normally the core.

a lot less.

Typical work but no effort!

Therefore, the core of the Portuguese team for nearly half of the time was not Deng Kai, but Deco and Viana.

So...it's half Deng Kai, Deco and Viana who are ten percent less efficient than Zidane.

And the other half of Deng Kai...
