Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

"Puta!!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo angrily slammed the captain's armband onto the grass.

The World Cup knockout stage he had high hopes for, the long-awaited revenge match...

Who knew we'd concede a goal just four minutes into the game?

What's most infuriating is that Lu Xiao easily broke through the penalty area, showed off his skills against the entire defense, and scored a solo goal!

Even my Ballon d'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, has never scored a solo goal.

What gives you the right?

What do my teammates do?

Cristiano Ronaldo was furious and blamed the goals conceded on the defensive line's mistakes, almost yelling at his Portuguese teammates.

Lu Xiao celebrated with the Belgian players after scoring.

They're still playing fancy tricks!

Lu Xiao, De Bruyne, Hazard, and Origi suddenly froze, pretending to stop time.

The opposing side was filled with the jubilant atmosphere of taking the lead.

Meanwhile, Portugal was incredibly frustrated, and Cristiano Ronaldo was furious.

"What the hell are you doing...?"

"Forget it, Cristiano, it's all my fault, don't blame them."

Although Pepe often gets carried away and commits some serious fouls,

He was quite loyal and took the blame upon himself.

As Pepe's teammate at Real Madrid, Ronaldo couldn't really lash out after Pepe said that.

He forced down his anger and glared fiercely at the others.

"Pay attention, everyone! Focus!"

The Portuguese players were inexplicably scolded by Ronaldo, and dared not speak out against it.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the senior player, after all.

Even head coach Paulo Bento had to give him a wide berth in the locker room.

Nani stole a goal from Ronaldo last time, causing an offside call. Ronaldo then spent half an hour in the locker room berating him, and no one dared to intervene.

This demonstrates the prestige of Portugal's key figure within the team.

"I didn't do anything wrong, it's just that that Asian guy was too agile..."

Bruno Alves felt wronged.

He really did his best, cooperating with his teammates to limit Lu Xiao as much as possible, but Lu Xiao's strength was just too great.

"Alright, let's try to hold our goal. We're only down by one goal, we still have a chance."

Pepe quickly comforted her teammate.

He knew he hadn't done anything wrong, and neither had the defenders.

The Asian kid just performed exceptionally well.

The energy that erupted was frightening.

Even Pepe didn't feel this powerless against Messi; it would be difficult for any defender to stop Lu Xiao just now.

Ronaldo wasted his own opportunities and blamed his teammates for his mistakes.

There's no other way; we really have to rely on Ronaldo today.

Otherwise, no one on the Portuguese team will be able to step up and save the team.

……

The game continued, and with a one-goal advantage, the Belgian team maintained a solid defense and counter-attacks, able to execute their established tactics.

Portugal was originally a defensive counter-attacking team.

However, after conceding an early goal, they had no choice but to hold their noses and try to control the ball, exposing their back to Belgium.

"Attack for the first 15 minutes. It would be best if we could score, but if we can't, don't panic. We can retreat, stabilize the situation, and then make a plan."

Head coach Paulo Bento directed the Portuguese team to attack from the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Belgium coach Wilmots also called out to De Bruyne on the sidelines.

"Kevin, tell them to return as much as possible and hold out for this period."

"No problem, coach."

"Also! Don't commit too many troops to the counterattack, lest you be countered by the enemy in the event of a second counterattack."

"knew!"

De Bruyne rushed onto the field and explained the tactics to his teammates.

The Belgian team adopted a more compact formation.

Origi, Hazard, Lu Xiao, De Bruyne,

The four players formed the attacking group in the frontcourt, which was the only force for counter-attacks, while the two full-backs were locked down in the defensive area.

After cautious probing, Portugal gradually increased its efforts.

Courtois is under increasing pressure in front of the goal!

"Portugal's possession, Moutinho... okay, pass to Ronaldo on the left."

He switched positions with his teammate, attempting to cut inside from the more familiar area outside the penalty area...

Get out of the way by changing direction!! Slap yourself!!

"Ouch, that was close!!"

Coach Zhang's heart couldn't take it.

Cristiano Ronaldo's powerful long-range shot grazed the post and flew out, less than 5 centimeters from the goal.

A collective sigh of despair filled the commentary booth.

Portugal quickly made a comeback.

Pepe wins the header, passes it to Raul Meireles, who then passes it to Moutinho.

Moutinho is the midfield linchpin of Ligue 1 champions Monaco.

His performance in the World Cup was commendable; he was arguably the only Portuguese midfielder to perform well.

Aiming at the left flank, he secretly passed the ball straight to the right flank.

The Belgian team was fooled by him, creating a huge gap on the right side!

"What?!"

The infamous Nani, also known as "Nani the Unpassable", was considered one of Manchester United's four dark kings, along with Valencia, Ashley Young, and Welbeck.

His time at Manchester United was a mix of genius and madness.

His divine moments were comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The concept of ghosts is also very abstract.

At the World Cup, Nani's performance was mediocre, while Moutinho delivered a very exquisite through ball.

Nani was a fraction of a second too slow to get going, which meant he couldn't keep up immediately and almost let the ball go out of bounds.

By the time he controlled the ball, Vertonghen was already in position to mark him.

Nani tried several feints but failed to fool Vertonghen, so he had to start his run, create space, and deliver a cross.

With this passing method, it should be easy to defend in the penalty area.

Lu Xiao has already begun to plan his counterattack.

Such a high and floating ball is easy to clear.

Unexpectedly, Portugal's 30-year-old veteran Postiga, with his rich experience, made a sudden forward run to the near post and deliberately missed the header.

This resulted in Vermaelen being feinted and unable to break free from the encirclement.

"I'll do it!!"

Kompany shouted from the middle, preparing to break the deadlock.

Suddenly I felt a shadow appear in front of me!

The lights are all blocked!

Kompany, who was in the air, was startled. He turned around and caught a glimpse of a figure that appeared beside him like a mountain pressing down on him!

The jump height was several centimeters higher than his own!

"Oops!"

boom--

Before Kompany could even tense up, the man had already completed a powerful lion's head shake!

"Wow!!! Nani's cross—Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"

"Goal! In the 19th minute of the first half, a cross from the wing by Portugal helped Ronaldo head the ball in to equalize the score!!"

"1-1!! Today's match between two strong teams was truly full of suspense!"

He Wei was stunned.

That was such a careless mistake!

However, Ronaldo is indeed something else. His jumping height is comparable to a dunk, and his hang time and heading ability are too strong.

That's the value of a superstar!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted to the sidelines, leaped high into the air, turned around, and made his signature celebration move.

"Siu—"

In the stands, approximately 2 tickets were sold to Portuguese fans, who were equally impressive and rivaled the Belgian goalkeeper.

Lu Xiao had no answer to this shot.

Was Kompany's defense poor? He did his best.

However, Ronaldo's unexpected leap caught him off guard.

Lu Xiao was not discouraged by the goal he conceded; instead, he smiled and his fighting spirit shone even brighter!

"That's more like it! This is what the World Cup knockout stage should be like!"

"Come on! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"
