From the man behind the football king to the football king

The time soon entered forty minutes, and Portugal was still lagging behind the French team.

After about ten minutes of respite, the French team launched a fierce offensive again, hoping to score another goal before the end of the first half to completely seal the victory.

Paul Pogba still became the most threatening French player on the court, and his performance was quite outstanding, which made the French fans in the stands almost shout out their throats to cheer him on.

Pogba already has some people going crazy, and the enthusiasm from the fans undoubtedly further fueled his excitement. However, the French midfielder was always a little short of scoring the second goal. Almost no one could really break into the penalty area. Most of them were long shots from the outside, and they were long shots from more than 20 meters away.

It is not difficult to see Portugal's defensive efforts.

Even Bruno, the core of the team's offense, frequently returned to defense during the game because the team's defense was always worrying.

Whether it was in the Toulon Cup or today's World Youth Championship, Portugal did not show a reassuring defense.

Moreover, as the team's offensive core, Bruno cannot focus all his energy on helping defense. His main job is offense, not just his own pure offense, but also organizing offense.

Sprinting between the two ends of the court again and again, even Bruno, who is known for his excellent physical fitness, is already covered in sweat.

But he can feel that the distance between himself and the opponent's penalty area is getting closer and closer. The yellow card Digne just received is the best proof.

The French team then launched a counterattack, and its offensive surged, but Bruno also felt that the French team's defense was gradually pressing forward.

This is Portugal's opportunity.

When fighting a quick counterattack, Portugal has two sharp knives, one is him and the other is Bruma.

Bruno's favorite situation is when the opponent's defense presses forward and leaves a large space behind him.

Whether he is attacking with the ball himself, or tearing apart the opponent's defense with precise passes, that is what he is good at!

………………

Paul Pogba tried to backheel and was tripped by Andre Gomez.

The referee ran over, gave Gomez a yellow card warning, and once again gave the French team a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Pogba took the penalty himself, and Bruno went back to set up a wall. He was once again face to face with the French midfielder, and he could feel the fierce fighting spirit projected in Pogba's eyes when he looked at him. He looked full of fighting spirit, and his whole person was extremely excited, as if he was saying: There can only be one winner today, and that's me!

And this is what Bruno wants to say to Pogba.

This game will not only determine the winner of the World Youth Championship, but may also determine the winner of this year's European Golden Boy Award.

Bruno Fernandez never won the European Golden Boy Award, but Bruno wanted to try.

With their starting points and current positions, this World Youth Championship final is his best chance to overtake Pogba!

As the referee blew his whistle, Paul Pogba quickly jumped out and kicked the ball quickly. Only a bang was heard at the scene. The ball quickly flew out from Pogba's feet, drew an arc, bypassed the wall, and quickly fell towards the goal behind him.

Pogba's free kick was of extremely high quality, but Portugal goalkeeper José Sa was well prepared. When he was setting up the wall just now, he had already taken into account all possible angles from which Pogba could hit the goal, so he reacted quickly and flew the ball over the crossbar. Although he gave the French team a corner kick, The free kick was missed.

All the Portuguese players and fans breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of survival came to their hearts.

The French players and fans were quite disappointed. If this goal is scored, the French team will basically seal the victory!

………………

Portugal quickly reorganized their defense, this time for the corner kick.

Since the first goal Portugal conceded today was a corner kick, Portugal attached great importance to its defense this time.

The French team also invested strength, including center backs Sarr and Zouma.

Bruno was still left in front of the penalty area waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, but he did not dare to be careless at all, because he did not know when his teammates would pass the ball in his direction, and all he could do was concentrate on preparations. good.

Weiletu took another corner kick, still trying to find Paul Pogba. But this time José Sa struck out quickly, picked the ball out of mid-air first, rushed to the edge of the penalty area, and threw it to Joao Mario.

Joao Mario understood it immediately. He didn't even need to raise his head to look ahead, and just passed forward with a big foot.

"Portugal quickly took a goal kick and launched a counterattack. Joao Mario made a long pass to the right."

Bruno was in front of the penalty area. Although he had already started to rush forward when José Sa took the ball and ran forward, he was still a little slower than Digne, but he had the advantage in speed, and the two were almost They are chasing the ball head to head.

This kind of scene has happened many times in the first half, and the fans of the French team are somewhat used to it, because they saw that Bruno was the only one involved in the Portuguese attack, but at this time, the French team had three players on the back line. In addition to Digne, there are Condogbia and Fourquier.

Three defenders and one is more than enough!

………………

No one noticed that this time Bruno came from behind and occupied the inside, making it easier to seize the long pass from the side and behind, and Digne already had a yellow card.

The two competed for speed, but Bruno finally took the lead. He turned sideways to block Digne with his body, and headed the ball in front of him with his head.

The football seemed to obey his instructions. After hitting his head, it changed its flight path and fell forward, while Bruno suddenly accelerated to catch up.

Digne made an obvious move behind him to pull the jersey, but he didn't dare to be too obvious and just released it as soon as he pulled it.

This pull was very critical, which prevented Bruno from starting to speed up immediately. When he caught up again, Kondogbia had already caught up from the side and behind.

One to two!

Attack from both sides!

Bruno was not surprised because he had expected this scene.

As a tall midfielder, Kondogbia has very good ball skills, but is not very fast and is bulky.

Bruno relied on his increased speed and more agile movements to seize the position first.

However, he did not choose to kick the ball forward and use his speed to eat the French team's defense alive. On the one hand, he is surrounded by several French players at this moment, and on the other hand, his speed does not have an absolute advantage.

At this time, we can only be smart and not reckless.

Bruno picked up his right foot and picked up the fallen ball. The ball flew up again, directly over Kondogbia's head and fell behind him. Bruno stopped suddenly and stepped aside, then chased the ball behind Kondogbia.

………………

At this time, Fulquier also chased all the way to the edge of the penalty area. As soon as he saw Bruno passing the ball past Kondogbia, he was shocked and immediately rushed towards Bruno regardless of his own safety. Even if it was a foul, he must be kept out of the penalty area.

After Bruno picked out Kondogbia, he clearly felt in his mind that if he rushed in, he would definitely be fouled by Fulquier. Although the French right back might get a card because of this, Portugal's rare offensive opportunity ended here. .

If he was in the midfield and backfield, Bruno might have chosen a safe way to deal with it at this time, but since he was counterattacking quickly and his teammates hadn't caught up to respond, he chose a risky way to fight alone.

Anyway, even if the attack is fruitless, it will not pose a threat to Portugal's defense.

And if his plan succeeds, it may bring a goal to Portugal.

At this moment, a certain seed hidden deep in the soul still germinated!
