Chapter 1158 Cristiano Ronaldo in excellent condition

Although most of the 1/8 finals between Argentina and France were testing each other and did not use all their offensive capabilities, it was still difficult to avoid accidents during the game. At the No. 306 minute of the game, Valencia's central defender Varane did not reach the football in his corner kick attack, but it caused central defender Rojo's own goal.

In this way, Argentina fell behind.

However, it is a blessing in disguise. For the neutral fans, this unexpected goal is the turning point of the whole game.

Argentina, who accidentally conceded the ball, had to increase its offensive forces, and the forward line composed of Messi, Higuain and Aguero gradually showed its due power.

The defense line composed of Debug, Koscielny, Varane and Evra is feeling more and more pressure, and Evra, who is over [-] years old, has become the key breakthrough route for the French defense line.

In the beginning, Evra could still rely on his rich defensive experience to complete his job, but as breakthrough players with excellent speed and technique such as Messi and Di Maria took turns attacking, Evra's weakness of slow turning caused by his old age was gradually exposed.

Before the end of the first half, Messi habitually accelerated and cut inside on the right side of the attack, opening the legendary "Messi Corridor".

As a result, Messi flicked the ball with his left foot and passed it to his good friend Aguero who was pulled out. The latter passed the ball to the penalty area with the inside of his right foot without stopping the ball.

And this route is the route for Messi to cut into the penalty area. Varane's defensive awareness is very strong, and he subconsciously slides to the ground, trying to block the ball, but Aguero's passing speed is very fast. It takes a certain amount of time for Varane's long legs to stretch out.

That is to say... the football almost brushed Varane's toes into the penalty area.

The next thing is very simple for a player of Messi's level. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Lloris, he calmly rubbed a half-high ball with his left foot. The football hit the upper left corner of the goal and Argentina equalized the score.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Messi's state became better and better, and veteran Evra's defensive pressure was increasing. Just when Deschamps was about to remove Evra and replace him with another full-back, an accident happened.

Evra defended Messi with all his strength and consumed a lot of energy. He was doing anaerobic exercise a lot of the time, so he twisted his left ankle when Messi continued to change his body center.

Messi, who has completed a wonderful breakthrough, will naturally not stop. He once again faced Varane's defense with an unreasonable straight breakthrough. Varane's speed and explosive power are very fast, but Messi's short legs are fast and his feet are faster. He swept the ball to the front of the small penalty area first.

Aguero stood out from the crowd knowingly and kicked towards the goal before Koscielny. Although Lloris reacted very quickly, he was helpless because the distance between them was too close. The football flew into the goal without any suspense, and Argentina overtook the score!

From leading to falling behind, the French players' mentality collapsed. Coupled with Evra's non-combat losses, the morale of the team was really hit...

※※※

The players of the French team worked very hard. Pogba's performance was like another Zidane, but he was still a little young after all. With his extraordinary talent, he began to gradually choose to rely on himself to help the team solve the current predicament, but ignored the importance of the whole.

No. 704 minutes, it was Mascherano's seemingly fierce but very precise tackle on the ground from behind to intercept the ball. Argentina hit a quick counterattack on the spot, and finally Higuain, who was outflanked by the center, sent the ball into the goal. Argentina expanded the score.

And this goal is also the last goal of the game.

In the end, Argentina beat France 3:1 and got close to the quarterfinals.

Two hours later, another 1/8 final was held at the New Water Stadium in El Salvador. The two sides were the European Red Devils Belgium and Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo.

This game also attracted a lot of attention. The value of the Belgian team is the top five among 32 teams. Portugal is only No.7, and this is based on the fact that captain Cristiano Ronaldo occupies nearly [-] million euros.

But Belgium is still a bit worrying. Although their players have outstanding personal abilities, their World Cup experience is completely zero, and the level of the head coach is not high. Compared with the rich experience of the Portuguese team, Belgium has become a bit scumbag.

The Belgian and Portuguese 1/8 finals at the Xinshuiyuan Stadium were full of seats, and the entire stand was full of Portuguese fans and Belgian fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest contributor to Portugal's promotion to the top [-], so the Portuguese fans cheered for him the loudest. The hoarse cheers were overwhelming, and the whole stadium seemed to tremble slightly.

Under the cheers of the Portuguese fans in the audience, Cristiano Ronaldo's state came very quickly, and he almost helped the team break the deadlock in the 9th minute of the game.

Had it not been for the help of the goalposts, Portugal would have led the score now.

After this danger in front of the goal, the Belgian double midfielder combination Videsel and Fellaini chose to take turns to help defend Cristiano Ronaldo, preventing him from easily breaking through with the ball.

The change took effect very quickly, but as Cristiano Ronaldo gradually adapted to the tough defensive intensity, his menace was revealed again.

No.207 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo was about to take a long shot after receiving a breakthrough from Nani. Fellaini, who was in a tense state, subconsciously pushed it with his hand. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was ready to shoot, lost his center of gravity under this light touch and fell to the ground.

The referee was aware of the details and decisively awarded a direct free kick about 30 meters away from the goal to Portugal.

He also gave Fellaini, who has repeatedly fouled, a yellow card and warned him not to control his emotions and actions in the next game.

"Goooooooooooooooooal!!" As Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free kick hit the upper left corner of the goal, the Portuguese national television commentator roared hysterically: "The goal is scored! Our captain Cristiano Ronaldo scored his second direct free kick in the World Cup in Brazil. It is also his sixth goal in this World Cup, only one away from Ai's goal!"
