At the same time, in the Palmeiras lounge, their coaches and players were making other arrangements.

"At the end of the first half, we have taken the lead and have a numerical advantage, so can we slow down in the second half?" Palmeiras' captain made a suggestion, and this was their suggestion.

A lot of what most players think.

"Your idea is good. Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no problem with this operation. But I don't think so. The other party is already at a disadvantage, so what do we have to worry about? Shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it? What's more, this is in our

At home, if we can win with a big score, it will be the best reward for the fans who support us." The head coach did not agree with their view.

In this regard, the players naturally did not dare to refute and could only strictly follow his instructions. The head coach of a team is naturally the most authoritative. If the situation is reversed, then the coach's position will also be the most authoritative.

That's almost it. Although the atmosphere in the Portuguese team is more open and everyone is allowed to discuss some things together, the final decision is still made by the head coach, which is also an inevitable rule.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Palmeiras' attack was indeed more fierce, and they suppressed the Portuguese for a long time. However, Figo did not make any personnel changes, and just asked Wang Ziyi to retreat and fill in.

Balta's original position was replaced, which stabilized the back line of defense.

The marking of Li Zhao is still very strict. Whenever he gets the ball, he is always surrounded by opposing players chasing and intercepting him. This does indeed curb his performance to a certain extent.

In the 49th minute, Baldia broke through to the edge of the penalty area and took a long shot with his left foot. The ball was directly confiscated by Dyna.

In the 53rd minute, Juninho also tried a shot in the penalty area, but the result of this shot was even less ideal, as the ball went directly beyond the baseline.

In the 58th minute, Wesley finally found a loophole in the Portuguese's defense. He passed through the defense of Henryk and Moises with a through ball and found Caldeci. Although the latter successfully broke through to

He got a semi-one-on-one chance in the penalty area, but he really didn't feel good in front of the goal today. Under the interference of Wang Ziyi, he hurriedly started to shoot, neither the strength nor the angle was chosen well. As a result, he was knocked down by Dai Na and then shot steadily.

Get the ball.

The Portuguese did a good job in defense, quite a bit of a total attack and total defense posture, and even the forwards and other players participated in the defense. This is also because Figo added some Italian concrete defense, so

The opponent is not given many opportunities to break into the penalty area and threaten the goal. Most of the time, he can only force long shots from outside the penalty area like this.

But this kind of thing is not absolute, and there will still be some loopholes under the opponent's long-term defense.

In the 61st minute, Caio's mistake in clearing the ball turned into a second pass. Baldia stopped the ball in the penalty area and turned to face the goalkeeper. However, his low shot into the far corner was still touched by Dana's fingertips, and then hit the goal.

The ball bounced back from behind the post. Bardia wanted to follow up and continue to shoot, but Wang Ziyi's blockage still slowed him down. Dai picked up the ball behind him and then rushed to protect the ball tightly.

Down.

"Dina really cheated today. He has saved so many shots from the opponent. Without him, the Portuguese would have fallen behind by a big score now! It's a pity that their numerical disadvantage makes the counterattack a little weak, otherwise

The situation shouldn't be like this!" Li Junsheng explained while taking charge of the shooting.

"I believe they can still create miracles and give us a wonderful game." Doleza also cooperated. She also saw that Li Junsheng was not a commentary partner, and she was free, so she made a temporary guest appearance.

On the other hand, Palmeiras, which had been unable to attack for a long time, also showed some fatigue. Their head coach had no choice but to change his strategy and let the team control the rhythm in a timely manner.

"The opponent's goalkeeper is really difficult to deal with. This kind of performance is almost catching up with the performance of the goalkeeper. It would be great if this was one of ours." Their head coach couldn't help complaining.

In the 65th minute, Figo finally made a substitution. He replaced Zhang Yuning, whose physical strength had dropped significantly, and replaced him with another forward Harik. The meaning is self-evident. After the Portuguese team recovered, they also

Finally a counterattack was organized.

In the 68th minute, Li Zhao took advantage of the slow contraction of the Palmeiras front and passed the ball directly to the opponent's frontcourt after stealing the ball. Harik, who had just been replaced, quickly intervened and got rid of the defensive player. Facing the attacking goalkeeper

, solved the problem with a lob, which was also a major achievement of his recent assault training.

But just as he was about to turn around to celebrate, he saw the linesman's flag, indicating that the ball was offside.

Confused, he then ran to the referee, but the answer he got was that the goal was invalid. However, judging from the slow motion afterwards, it was a good goal. When he caught the ball, there was another goal from the opponent.

The wide player was obviously in a deeper position, but this was ignored by the referee.

Although the goal was not counted as a goal in the end, it scared the Palmeiras players into a cold sweat. Feeling the threat, Palmeiras also made adjustments again. While making personnel rotations, it also launched a wave of quite effective attacks.

A powerful attack, but they didn't dare to overdo it. While attacking, they also retained a certain number of defensive players to watch.

In the 73rd minute, new Palmeiras substitute Marquinhos received a pass from behind and broke into the opponent's penalty area. He feinted in the face of the defensive player and then shot low. Unfortunately, the angle of the shot was too straight and was shot directly by Dana.

After catching it, he held it in his arms.

After that, they made several threatening attacks, but in the end they failed.

In the 82nd minute, Li Zhao once again found the right opportunity and stole the ball near the midfield. Seeing that other players were not as good as himself, he simply chose to break through by himself. In the end, he was pulled by the flanking defense when he rushed to the front of the opponent's penalty area, but

Therefore, a free kick was created from the penalty area line to the goal position.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since he took a free kick, and this time he took the initiative to step forward and did not take advantage of others. This was also the reason for Xiaomi's sudden intervention.

Since there were too many players on both sides in the penalty area, he was not very sure whether it was a curve ball or an elevator ball at this position, but he had his own way. He gave Wang Ziyi a color before taking the penalty, and the opponent also understood it.

Wang Ziyi took off early before Li Zhao's low shot came over, and the ball passed through the wall from the gap under his feet and went straight into the lower left corner of the goal. Even the goalkeeper of Palmeiras was unable to react to this ball.

1-1, the Portuguese successfully equalized the score.

The coach and players of Palmeiras obviously could not accept this result, so they continued to launch a fierce attack on the Portuguese goal in the following time, hoping to regain the lead.

The Portuguese, both the goalkeeper and the forward players, were trying their best to defend, and even participated in the occasional counterattack, but they never allowed the opponent to score as they wished. Of course, the Portuguese also failed to find a good opportunity to overtake.

score.

In the end, after two long whistles from the referee, the two sides had to shake hands with a score of 1-1. The honor of the best player of the game was given to Dana, and his role is beyond doubt.

Although the Portuguese failed to achieve their expectations of defeating their opponents, it was a good result to still draw a draw under such circumstances, and Figo was quite satisfied with this.

Speaking of which, this game was the Portuguese's first draw since the beginning of the season, and therefore they withdrew from the zero-draw club. The last two remaining zero-draw clubs are Ponte Preta and Pena Bolens, also
