Qin Xiong made the Portuguese team aware of his threat through a counterattack.
Maniche, Costinha, Valente, Carvalho, and the other Portuguese national footballers who were no strangers to Qin Xiong were shocked.
He was stronger than he was two years ago!
Whether it was his ball skills or his physical fitness.
Qin Xiong's growth was obviously getting rid of the gap between them and him.
But fortunately, the China team only had one Qin Xiong!
This could make them feel a little more at ease.
After all, football was not a one-man game.
No matter how strong Qin Xiong was, what could he do?
The other attacking players of the Portuguese team did not care about Qin Xiong.
As for the China team's iron bucket formation, they also felt that it was right and proper.
Lagging behind, weak, they had to be beaten!
The China team pragmatically adopted a defensive posture. Was there anything surprising about that?
The Portuguese team did not even have the thought of ridiculing them.
They felt that it was all right and proper.
Perhaps they thought that they could get the ideal victory by playing the 90-minute game step by step, advance in advance, and then rest for a while to prepare for the real life and death battle in the knockout stage.
The Portuguese team passed the ball from the end, shot a long shot in front of the penalty area, and the star player tried to break through on his own.
Fortunately, for the China team, it was fortunate that Figo was old and Ronaldo was a little arrogant. Under the intensive defense, the China team's defense looked quite stable.
It was just that the scene was slightly tragic.
Xu Yunlong was kicked twice by Deco in a row, Sun Xiang was played and ravaged by Figo at the end line, Li Weifeng stretched out his leg to block Ronaldo's long shot and almost made an own mistake, Sun Jihai used his body to block Ronaldo's shot.
The China team was extremely passive.
Not every successful defense could be an opportunity to switch between offense and defense. Most of the time, after a successful defense, they had to adjust the defensive line to defend again.
It had to be said that Zheng Zhi played well in this game. His position from the midfield to the rear defensive line was very good. Many times, it was his close pressing and harassment that forced the Portuguese team to not play well in the last kick.
The Portuguese team was strong as a whole, but they actually had a weakness in the front line, which was their disadvantage.
Therefore, whether it was creating opportunities or pushing forward the offense, the Portuguese team did a good job. However, no one could play the role of the terminator.
After the China team created a chance to counterattack, the Portuguese team also managed to contain Qin Xiong very well. They imitated the Mexican team's approach and it worked very well in the beginning.
However, as the minutes and seconds of the game passed, Portugal was unable to win despite having the advantage. This caused the mentality of their players to begin to change.
The midfielders began to plug forward frequently, trying to become an unexpected point in the attack to tear apart China's dense defense.
In the 41st minute of the match, Deco pushed forward in the middle to attack. Figo came to the middle to receive. Deco passed the ball directly to Figo. Figo slipped past Sun Xiang's interception and went down to the bottom. He passed the ball across the penalty area. Ronaldo cut in diagonally, intending to attack from a small angle. Li Weifeng directly used his body to block Ronaldo's shooting angle.
After the football bounced out, Zheng Zhi controlled the ball and he passed the ball diagonally to Zhao Junzhe, who was running forward.
Zhao Junzhe saw the trajectory of Qin Xiong's running position in front of him. Qin Xiong pulled to the left flank, and Zhao Junzhe directly sent the ball to the front of Qin Xiong with a long diagonal pass.
This pass almost took Qin Xiong's life!
It was a little big!
And a little high!
Qin Xiong gritted his teeth and rushed forward along the flank. At this time, Maniche came over to assist in the defense. The full back, Miguel, also rushed up to form a double team.
When the football was about to go out of the sideline, Qin Xiong directly jumped up and rushed forward, using his head to head the ball behind Miguel's back!
When the football flew over Miguel's head, Miguel immediately turned around. However, when he turned around, he was stunned to see a figure rushing forward at lightning speed outside the sideline!
Qin Xiong!
He went around the outside to overtake!
Miguel lost when he had to turn around and start again.
Qin Xiong went around the outside to overtake, turned into the inside line and blocked in front of Miguel under the flabbergasted gaze of the audience.
The football, which was rolled to the end line by his header, was very close to him.
The football bounced forward.
The full back, Meira, rushed to the flank to destroy the China team's counterattack. Just as he and Qin Xiong were about to meet, he stretched out his leg to break the siege. Qin Xiong was faster than him. The surface of his right foot slightly pushed the ball high into the middle. Miguel only saw the football fly past his head. Qin Xiong changed direction and charged into the penalty area!
Many of the Portuguese team's defenders were completely shocked and frightened!
This scene was too familiar!
This was the unstoppable Qin Xiong who was as crazy as a demon!
Carvalho and Valente immediately moved to this side. Maniche had already been shaken off by Qin Xiong. Costinha retreated to the penalty area and locked his sharp eyes on Qin Xiong.
The football that Qin Xiong used to fly high into the penalty area landed at the intersection where he, Carvalho and Costinha were scrambling for the ball.
When the three men were about to meet, Qin Xiong suddenly used his head to head the football that bounced twice forward. Then he bypassed Costinha, who rushed in front of him, and ran towards the football.
Zhang Pengfei still had his back to the goal in front of the penalty area. He gritted his teeth to block Valente behind him and chose to dodge and lean back when the football flew over.
Valente did not see the football at first. When the football rushed out from between Carvalho and Costinha and fell to the ground, he subconsciously wanted to move forward but was blocked by Zhang Pengfei's body. When the football just flew in front of Zhang Pengfei, Valente threw himself at Zhang Pengfei from behind. The referee did not signal a foul!
It did not matter!
Zhang Pengfei did not touch the ball because he saw Qin Xiong striding over from behind Costinha.
After Zhang Pengfei and Valente both fell to the ground, Qin Xiong had no other opponents to harass him in the penalty area to shoot.
In the position parallel to the right of the penalty spot, Qin Xiong caught up with the football. The goalkeeper, Ricardo, abandoned the goal and went out. Qin Xiong turned halfway and directly volleyed the ball!
The vigorous and powerful volley carried his strong belief.
He never dropped the ball in such a big scene!
When the opportunity came, he would not do something that would make the audience feel incredulous.
The football flew into the lower left corner of the goal with a loud bang.
Qin Xiong's volley shot from high up in the air had gone in the opposite direction!
Ricardo, who had abandoned the goal, could not reach it!
The Portuguese team was shocked to see the China team break through their own goal.
And the figure that rolled on the ground after the shot and stood up made them shudder!
At the World Cup stadium in Frankfurt, all the fans who supported the China team were excited!
Even the local German fans applauded and cheered for Qin Xiong from the bottom of their hearts after seeing Qin Xiong's wonderful performance.
Qin Xiong, who had a resolute expression from beginning to end, ran to the corner flag area. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and let out a wild roar. His expression was slightly ferocious. When he came to the corner flag area, he clenched his fists and raised his figure!
