Chapter 2110 WeWillRockYou
When Luisinho began to adjust his pace and start running with long strides, many observant people had already seen the clues.
The Chinese fans in the stands who were originally frustrated at losing the ball opened their eyes wide - they knew what Luisinho was going to do!
When Luisinho landed, the cheers of the Portuguese fans reached their peak.
The neutral commentators were also stunned for a moment, and then laughed:
"Luisinho finally performed Hu's iconic celebration in front of his idol! I don't know if Luisinho has been preparing for this day for a long time, but he must have come prepared..."
"As we all know, Luisinho is a fan of Hulay. He once imitated Hulay's celebration when the club scored. But it was the club, and he had never done it in front of Hulay. This Once he did it!”
"Luisinho is not the first player to imitate Hu's celebrations, but he is the first to imitate his celebrations in front of Hu! I think this is probably both for Luisinho and Hu himself. It’s a wonderful experience..."
……
Neutral commentators have a show-watching mentality. They like interesting things and unexpected situations that happen during the game.
However, the reactions of the commentators in the countries where both parties are located are different.
He Feng and Yan Kang were surprised at first, but then they forced a smile and said, "Luisinho actually made a 'HUUUUU' celebration in front of Hu Lai. Maybe he was using this way to express his feelings towards Hu Lai’s admiration..."
The fact that Luisinho is a fan of Hulay is not a "secret". Fans and media all over the world know it.
Therefore, He Feng and Yan Kang knew that Luisinho had no ill intentions in doing this celebration. He simply wanted to express his love for Hu Lai.
However, since the Chinese team just lost the ball, it is really difficult to ask the Chinese commentator to praise Luisinho's celebration in a cheerful tone...
The Portuguese commentator didn't really care about Luisinho's tribute to Hulay, because these were all trivial matters. The most important thing was whether Portugal could qualify from the group.
After Luisinho's celebration, he could not hide his excitement: "Only nine minutes into the second half, we equalized the score! There is still a lot of time left, and it can even be said that we have a chance to score another goal. , turn defeat into victory! ”
※※※
The only person who knew Luisinho's plan was his roommate Joao Valente in the Portuguese team, and Hu Lai in the Chinese team.
So when Luisinho made this celebration, players on both sides were shocked.
The Portuguese players were shocked and then caroused. They rushed up to him, hugged him, slapped his body wildly, and shouted excitedly: "Well done, Vasco!"
"Great! Great! Whether it's the goal or the celebration, it's great! Haha!"
"Yes, you must have done it on purpose! Well done! This really shocked them, haha!"
"Yes, look at the expressions of the Chinese team players, they seem to be frightened!"
A group of people praised Luisinho for boosting morale.
But Luisinho kept trying to defend himself:
"No...I didn't mean that...I just...uh, wanted to express...my feelings for Hu...uh, for Hu..."
"Really, I mean it..."
"No, please listen to my explanation..."
But no matter how he defended himself, his teammates, who were inspired by the goal, laughed and interrupted his words with more powerful slaps.
Captain Ricardo Barria even hugged him and said to him with his forehead against his forehead: "It doesn't matter, Vasco. No matter what your original intention was, you did inspire everyone and also severely frustrated them." Spirited! ”
After he was released by the captain, his roommate Joao Valente also came up to hug him. But when the two hugged each other, Valente whispered in his ear:
"I think the expressions of those Chinese players are not very good, Vasco..."
Hearing what Valente said, Luisinho looked at the Chinese team players with a guilty conscience.
Sure enough, most of the Chinese team players had serious expressions on their faces.
Of course, it was impossible for anyone to laugh after the ball had just been lost... This was considered a normal reaction.
He glanced at Hu Lai furtively again.
Found that Hu Lai was looking at him.
After noticing his peek, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Hu should be... not angry, right? He also encouraged me during halftime...
Luisinho was unsure about this idea that came to his mind.
※※※
Luisinho's goal allowed the Portuguese players to celebrate.
This goal can at least put them in a relatively safe position.
As long as this game can be tied, Portugal will definitely qualify.
It's just that you have to win to qualify as first in the group.
But if being first in the group is really a luxury, then just settle for second best, as long as you can qualify.
In short, the Portuguese players are now much calmer.
They are no longer in the mentality of being insecure at any time, and their performance should be more stable.
After the game started, they soon discovered that it was now the Chinese team that was anxious - because the Chinese team's offense had obviously strengthened.
The Portuguese commentator also noticed it, and he shouted excitedly: "The Chinese team is eager to attack! It seems that they were stimulated by Luisinho's celebration! This is a good thing for Portugal - when China When the team presses hard, there will definitely be a lot of space behind them. We can comfortably attack their counterattacks!”
Although they had just equalized the score, the Portuguese were already looking forward to victory.
After all, who wouldn't be happy to qualify as the first in the group?
In front of the Chinese team coaching bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Ding Gaoyi was asking Qin Lin: "Do you want to persuade them to be steady? Even if we draw, we can still be first in the group..."
He also saw the stress reaction of the Chinese team players after losing the ball.
Strengthening the offense was not a decision made by the Chinese team's coaching staff, it was completely spontaneous by the players.
Ding Gaoyi is worried that the anger of Chinese players will be exploited by Portuguese players.
However, Qin Lin rejected his proposal: "That's it, Lao Ding. They are right to do this. We cannot let Portugal adjust their mentality as if nothing happened after scoring a goal. We must put enough pressure on them. So there is no need to adjust."
Although the Chinese team's current approach on the field was not due to Qin Lin's adjustment, Qin Lin believed that their approach was correct and could be considered unintentional and there was no need to interfere.
Seeing that Qin Lin had no objection, Ding Gaoyi stopped talking and continued to watch the game intently.
Then soon he jumped up from his seat: "Oops!"
Xia Xiaoyu's long-range shot hit the Portuguese goal post!
There was a huge sigh and exclamation from the entire stands.
The sighs came from Chinese fans, and the exclamations came from Portuguese fans.
"What a risk!" the Portuguese commentator breathed out. "Xia's long-range shot was too sudden!"
He was right, there was no sign before Xia Xiaoyu shot. Before Xia Xiaoyu caught the ball, he was still observing. The way he swings his legs also looks like he's about to pass the ball.
As a result, the ball came to him, and Xia Xiaoyu suddenly shot the football toward the goal.
The shot was sudden and of high quality.
The football made an inconspicuous arc, bypassing the legs of the players on both sides of the penalty area, and then hit the outside of the goal post, popping out of the baseline...
Although he didn't score a goal, it scared the Portuguese players and fans into a cold sweat.
Joao Valente turned his head and stared blankly at the goal post. The football flew past his feet just now. He didn't even react. The football went around him and hit the goal post behind him.
If it weren't for the goal post, Portugal would have conceded the goal now - goalkeeper Ze Ferreira didn't even make a save in the face of this shot!
Valente felt his heart beating wildly in his chest, and then looked back at Xia Xiaoyu, who was holding his head in his hands.
Based on his understanding of this good friend who once played with him in Alvara, Valente believed that this kick was definitely not caused by Xia Xiaoyu. He deliberately aimed at the lower right corner and shot it!
Valente felt that Luisinho told Hulay his thoughts, but Hulay probably did not tell other players in the Chinese team, so they probably did not think that Luisinho was expressing respect for Hulay.
As a central defender, it is he, Joao Valente, who faces the anger of the Chinese team...
He looked at Luisinho again, who also looked frightened.
Damn it, you screwed me over, Vasco!
※※※
Xia Xiaoyu hit the goal post, which was like a wake-up call for the Portuguese players.
Let them gradually come back to their senses from the joy of just scoring a goal and equalizing the score.
Yes, they are indeed the ninth-best team in FIFA.
But so what?
They were facing the hosts!
Moreover, European teams play far more games in a year than Asian teams, so European teams also have more points and are ranked higher than Asian teams. Isn't it normal?
Sometimes the rankings don't really reflect the strength of the two teams.
To prove this, the Chinese team's offense soon made a comeback.
This time, Peng Weijun and Chen Xingyi played a one-two against the wall on the left wing and then sent a cross.
In front of the goal, Zhou Zijing jumped high, collided with Portuguese center back Fabio Castaneira, and then pushed the football towards the goal!
Goalkeeper Ze Ferreira jumped and blocked the football.
But he could only barely block the football, neither pushing the football out of the baseline nor hitting it far away from the goal.
After the football fell, it fell into the small penalty area!
Valente stretched out his foot almost reflexively to clear the football that fell in front of him.
He had just finished kicking the ball, and then he kicked someone with his foot - it was Hu Lai who came up to make up the shot!
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded.
He called Zhou Zijing for a pushing foul when he was fighting for the top!
Although it was an offensive foul by the Chinese team, the Portuguese players, including Valente, were breathing heavily at this time and their hearts were beating wildly.
Valente looked up at the stadium's big screen, which displayed real-time scores and game time.
China 1:1 Portugal
Full game time 60:44
There is still half an hour before the end of the ninety minutes. If you include injury time, it will even be as many as forty minutes.
He actually felt that this game was so long...(End of Chapter)
