Although Ronaldo has returned to the court, his actual combat effectiveness is not as good as before. The most obvious reflection is that his movements on the court have become much slower. But for the goal in his heart, he still grits his teeth and continues to fight.

.

At 10 minutes and 30 seconds, Sanchez passed the ball forward to Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the force was slightly stronger, according to his past ability, he could handle the ball well. However, Cristiano Ronaldo at this time was no longer able to move faster.

It started, but I had no choice but to miss this opportunity.

However, Ronaldo's physical abnormalities continued, and as time went by, the situation became more and more serious. The most obvious feature was that his left leg began to become weak, and even normal take-off became difficult.

Incomparably, the height of the half-high ball given by his teammates was actually just right, but he still caught the ball in an extremely awkward posture, and almost stumbled when he landed. During the entire jumping and landing process, Ronaldo also

Always avoid using your left leg for support and force to avoid further worsening of the injury.

After that, he became more cautious. Even when Koscielny made a minor foul on Ronaldo from behind, Ronaldo did not dare to let his left knee touch the ground. And he touched his injured area.

It also started to happen more frequently, hoping to alleviate the impact of the pain on myself.

At this time, the pace of offense and defense transitions on the field is very fast, but Ronaldo rarely retreats to get the ball, and rarely runs without the ball. The ball passes the midfielder and he actively stands on the left to receive the ball instead of the designed center. Everything shows that

Ronaldo has understood that his left knee injury has relapsed after being hit by Payet. He is avoiding all unnecessary collisions and running, protecting his left knee, and persisting as much as possible.

During the start of another counter-attack, Ronaldo's speed has obviously slowed down a lot, his right foot seems to be dragging, and his left foot cannot use force. In the end, it can only be a fruitless result.

In the 16th minute of the game, Ronaldo had to leave the field again for treatment. This time, even Santos came over to persuade him personally, but Ronaldo still did not give up and returned to the field after putting on a bandage.

But in terms of his actual significance on the court, there is actually very little left. Fighting in such a state will not even play a much role in containment, and will even slow down the offensive and defensive efficiency of the entire team, but no one has any control over him.

Complaints. Because this is Cristiano Ronaldo, he has become the spiritual symbol of the entire Portuguese team.

Only in the 24th minute of the game, Ronaldo finally sat down on the ground weakly again. This time he really couldn't survive. Before being carried away from the final by the team doctor in tears, he handed the captain's armband to Ronaldo.

Ni. However, the person who replaced him was not Li Zhao, but Li Zhao's cousin Leonard. It seemed that the coach thought that Li Zhao had not yet reached the best time to play.

"Perform well. I know you prefer to participate in the offense. Now is definitely the most difficult time for the team. So you have to do your best defensively, but don't make any mistakes!" When Leonard was warming up, Li

Zhao did not forget to give instructions.

"I understand, brother, although I don't like to defend, it doesn't mean that my ability in this area is poor." Leonard responded.

"It's good to understand. But defense without offense is by no means a really good defense. When an opportunity arises, you have to dare to fight and use your speed advantage to attack their defense line. This can disperse our defense well.

Pressure, I think this should be the reason why Santos replaced you." Li Zhao finally patted his shoulder again.

Leonard's appearance indeed caused a lot of trouble for the French team's defense, but the Portuguese team did not play conservatively. It became more flexible and changeable after the overall speed increased, so the offensive and defensive rhythms of the two teams on the court were changed for a while.

Everything became very fast. The result is that although the French team still has a slight advantage on the scene, this advantage is not obvious. On the contrary, after being rushed by the opponent, its own defense line seemed somewhat unstable.

But in terms of stability, it is far behind the other party.

Deschamps has naturally noticed this phenomenon, but it is not easy to make immediate changes. Facing the faster Portuguese strikers, the French team sometimes has to use more rough movements to delay them.

, among which Payet’s actions in offense and defense were the most significant, and this also brought about karma for him.

In the 34th minute of the game, Portuguese defender Cedric Suarez also performed a retaliatory knee strike on Payet. Firstly, because he had brutally pulled him down during the attack, and secondly, he was taking advantage of the opportunity.

The idea of ​​venting anger for captain Ronaldo. And Payet was obviously not a person who was willing to suffer losses, so he immediately slapped the opponent. This time it became lively, people on both sides gathered around, and it was obvious that there was

There were signs of a blow-up. Fortunately, the captains and coaches of both sides were relatively calm and did not let the momentum get bigger. The referee could not be biased this time and gave them both a yellow card to calm the matter.

In the remaining time after the first half, the two sides still maintained such a fast-paced offensive and defensive frequency, but perhaps each other lacked some luck, or their defense was relatively good. Until the 45th minute, the score on the field was still 0.

-0.

During the halftime break, the CCTV live broadcast room once again started a discussion about Cristiano Ronaldo's injury. It seemed that this matter was of higher concern than the game itself.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is already injured, and there were some clues before the game. I feel that even if he is not hit, his physical condition will not be very good in this game, and he may even be in a long period of strenuous exercise.

He will still be injured later, but he will probably persist until the second half. Payet's move is actually just an inducement, which speeds up the process.

However, Payet really failed to control his movements well in this game, not only against Ronaldo, but also during the midfield press, he can be said to have the most movements on his feet in the entire French team. This is wrong.

Yes, whether he kicked Ronaldo over or not, the fierce siege and physical contact does not mean that he does not need to control his movements, and he does need to attach a certain amount of responsibility." Duan Xuan's analysis was somewhat personal.

.

Gu/span "The fierce pressing in the frontcourt is a strategy formulated by Deschamps. There is nothing wrong with this tactic itself, and the whole team executes it well. Most people focus on physical contact and hand movements, and their feet are not more ferocious than the Portuguese team.

I believe that Deschamps did not deliberately arrange for someone to kick Ronaldo over, but he must have focused on marking him. And Payet did implement it in place, but he may have gone too far. I think his purpose in doing so

Perhaps they wanted to use this to undermine the morale of the Portuguese team and gain a more favorable situation for the French team.

But the actual situation does not seem to be the case. The morale of the Portuguese team was actually inspired. After Ronaldo came off the field, their speed increased again. The French team felt uncomfortable facing the Portuguese team without Ronaldo.

, which resulted in the current situation." Wang Tao's view on this is more objective.

The discussion about Cristiano Ronaldo's injury and retirement is not limited to the live broadcast room. There are different opinions on this in the major media and in the public. It is still fermenting for a period of time after the game. It will even be occasionally discussed many years later.

Take it out and talk about it.

During the intermission, Li Zhao suddenly remembered that he still had several pairs of plasters in his backpack, so he rummaged through them. These plasters are a special medicine recently developed by Huaqin Biopharmaceuticals. They are useful for treating bruises and bruises.

It has a very good effect on some traumatic diseases, and Zhao Xueqin specially prepared it for him before he set off. But because Li Zhao protects himself very well, he rarely gets injured, so he rarely uses it.

.If I hadn’t accidentally touched my backpack after returning to the lounge, I wouldn’t have thought that I still had this thing.

However, he still helped him apply the plaster after complying with Ronaldo's consent.

"The effect of this ointment is good! I can hardly feel the pain now. It's a pity that it's too late now. If I had known that you had this thing earlier, I should have asked you for it early. Maybe in that case I could still

Keep at it!" Although it only took about ten minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo had already felt the effect. Although these words seemed a bit exaggerated, they did reflect the quality of the words.

Li Zhao smiled at this. He understood that this was just a joke from Ronaldo. Besides, he had never tried this thing before, let alone that he had indeed forgotten the existence of this thing at first. Even if he knew about it, he would not dare to use it as soon as he came up with it.

Give it to others!

"Richard, you will take Silva's place in a moment. You will have to control the rhythm of the game next. It is not easy to balance offense and defense. Can you do it?"

Before the players returned to the field, Santos finally made the substitution decision, but he had to ask Li Zhao one last time.

"No problem!" Although Li Zhao knew that this responsibility was heavy, he still nodded firmly.

"Well done, I will cheer for you from the sidelines." Ronaldo feels that his current situation has improved a lot, but unfortunately this is all he can do now.

Li Zhao's appearance further improved the situation of the Portuguese team. At least starting from the second half, they no longer had much disadvantage in the comparison of strength with the opponent. In just ten minutes, they launched two extremely threatening attacks.

, and almost caused a goal. This situation made the French team, which once had a clear advantage, very uncomfortable, so they unconsciously made some big moves.

Especially Payet in the French team. After he saw the threat of Li Zhao on the court, he wanted to repeat the same trick, but this time he failed to succeed. Instead, he almost got a yellow card for himself. You must know that he had already had it before.

Got a yellow card.

This made Deschamps so angry that he almost jumped out of his seat. He had already felt the danger. Although they had the home field advantage, the referee would not tolerate it forever, and when his patience ran out, maybe the French team would have to

Unlucky. Especially this Payet, he seems to have become a big trouble for his team at the moment.

Deschamps quickly replaced Payet with Koeman, and he himself walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to restrain their movements. With this arrangement, the number of fouls committed by the French team finally came down.

Although the Portuguese team's efforts once tilted the situation in their favor, luck favored the French team first.

In the 63rd minute of the game, French forward Giroud broke through to the front of the Portuguese team's penalty area and his kick was intercepted by the opponent. However, the slow motion showed that the ball seemed to hit the arm of defender Fonte in the middle, so the main goal was

The referee decisively awarded the penalty kick.
Chapter completed!
