Football: Guards with knives, shovel Ronaldo at the beginning

There are some things that you can't work hard only when you see hope.

It’s about working hard that you see hope.

Just like now, the man who people call "bringing adversity" is on the road to hope.

At this time, De Bruyne remembered what Lindy said when he called him before the game:

"If you can't guarantee an advantage of more than two goals, then lock down Cristiano Ronaldo, otherwise, anything can happen."

He lowered his head, his expression dark and unclear.

Just when his teammates thought De Bruyne was hit by this goal, De Bruyne made a decision.

The game continues and Portugal's morale is now at its peak.

The man kept waving his hands to encourage the few Portuguese fans at the scene, but did not notice the change in De Bruyne's eyes.

Soon, the ball fell to the Portuguese team again.

At this time, there was not much time left for the Portuguese team. Ronaldo, who was so anxious that he retreated to receive the ball, was rushed up from the side and knocked down before he could pass the ball.

The Portuguese team's offensive and defensive transition was forced to terminate!

Ronaldo took a closer look and saw that it was De Bruyne who had been sending exquisite passes in the backcourt.

He was curious as to why the opponent would suddenly move forward to interrupt Portugal's rhythm.

De Bruyne slapped his butt and retreated expressionlessly.

There is no player from Atletico Madrid who can't defend!

Coupled with the training in the past few years, De Bruyne has already become like a veteran in controlling the rhythm of the team's offensive and defensive transitions.

Lindy sighed in front of the TV: "This guy Kevin's progress is so terrifying!"

Portugal, whose rhythm was interrupted, fell into a positional battle, and Ronaldo began to gradually get lost under the double-teaming of the defenders.

Whenever the Portuguese team attempts to organize an effective attack, De Bruyne transforms into a thin version of Lindy, making high passes to block and shovel away the turf.

Dedicate yourself to defense.

He even temporarily acted as the backcourt commander, arranging teammates for coordinated defense.

The Portuguese players, led by Ronaldo, were like moths to the flame, fearlessly hitting the scarlet wall of sighs again and again.

Until the moment the game whistle blew, the Portuguese team failed to break the shackles of fate.

This midsummer for the Portuguese team is over.

When Ronaldo sat on the ground with a wry smile and looked at the Belgian players flying in the distance to celebrate, he thought of Figo who handed the team to him.

Looking up at the Portuguese fans covering their faces and crying in the stands, he felt a little guilty and blamed himself.

Unwillingness gradually came to his mind, and he took off the captain's armband from his arm bitterly. Just as he was about to smash it down, his right hand was held by someone.

"Chris, don't cry. I'm still here. We still have time. Wait... wait for the next four years. We must persist for another four years and give the young people more time and more experience."

Pepe slowly squatted down and put his arms around Ronaldo's shoulders: "Have you forgotten how it came to your arms 8 years ago? In the future, you will also pass it on to your successor. of."

After hearing this, Ronaldo's unwillingness finally turned into tears and could no longer stop.

He hugged Peipei and let the crystal drops fall, no longer pretending to be strong.

This game was narrated by Lao Liu, and the camera also showed the crying Ronaldo at this time.

"We know that it is already 6 o'clock in the morning in the Imperial City, and with the rising sun, a new day is about to begin."

"Many people are about to wake up from their sleep. If you didn't watch tonight's game, how could you imagine this soul-stirring 90-minute battle."

"But competitive sports are so cruel. No one cares how much effort you have put in. Are you tired from fighting? Does it hurt if you fall?"

"In people's eyes, there are only those 2 minutes of highlights and the cold score."

"And this is the adult world!"

The Belgian Red Devils had the last laugh, and many coaches saw a lot of different things from this young Belgium.

At this point, all the top 8 teams were born.

According to the format, Brazil's opponent will be Colombia, while England's opponent will be the Netherlands.

Argentina will face Belgium, and Germany's opponent is Switzerland.

...

These four games were scheduled to start four days later.

This time England's opponent is the powerful Dutch team. Even the English fans who have won consecutive victories are not so confident that they can send the Netherlands home.

You know, they have defeated Spain, Chile, France, and Mexico in a row, scoring 14 goals and only conceding 2 goals.

Moreover, in this super death group, they won all three games without any suspense and reached the top 16 with their heads held high, which has exceeded everyone's expectations.

According to Lindy, it was simply chopping up melons and vegetables!

Hodgson looked at the list of players for the Uncrowned King, and his eyes twitched.

Robben, Huntelaar, Van Persie, Depay, Sneijder, De Jong!

If Van der Vaart hadn't retired due to injury, the Dutch team's midfield and frontcourt lineup would have been even more terrifying.

Six veterans are in charge, especially Robin van Persie, Robben, De Jong and Huntelaar, who have played more than 6 times for the national team!

In addition, there are 9 people born in the 90s, a complete combination of old, middle and young people.

There are still 7 members who were runners-up in the last World Cup, and they are extremely experienced.

Fortunately, the opponent's weak link is the backcourt. Van Gaal's way of cooking is to arrange two midfielders with strong defensive capabilities, such as the combination of De Jong and Fell.

But the Dutch team's 433 full-attack and full-defense style of play, Hodgson thought about it, and still chose to play against the Dutch team!

In terms of defense alone, England's offense is far inferior.

After setting the direction, Hodgson took the whole team to explain the tactics...

The match between Brazil and Colombia started first. With David Luiz's super performance, the Selecao defeated their opponent 2-1 and advanced to the top four.

In front of the hometown crowd, this Samba team is simply invincible.

Their next opponent will be the winner of Germany and Switzerland.

Brazilian fans naturally expect them to defeat their opponents and reach the finals, adding another star to the chest of the Brazilian team's jersey.

The match between Argentina and Belgium also started shortly afterwards.

August 7 at 6 a.m.

Messi kissed the Argentina team emblem on his chest, prayed silently to God in his heart, and then walked into the stadium.

On the contrary, De Bruyne's harmless face was filled with solemnity.

First Portugal, then Argentina.

He simply suspected that he had picked up the wrong protagonist's script!

"Do I really want to win the World Cup with Clint Melo and three others?"
