Football King Bale

The first half ended with a score of 0:0. Although Portugal created many chances, they failed to score.

The Welsh team even created only one shot in the entire first half, that is, in the 7th minute of the game, Bell broke through the barrier alone, broke into the penalty area from the left and shot 14 meters from the goal.

However, Portugal got 5 shots in the first half. The most threatening shot was a shot by Ronaldo in stoppage time in the first half. The ball turned around and wiped James Chester, and then volleyed vigorously with his right foot from 11 meters away from the goal. The ball hit the bottom of the right post and popped out!

The ratio of the number of shots is 5:1, and the ratio of possession rate has reached an exaggerated 81%:19%.

From the comparison of this data, it can be seen how embarrassing Wales was suppressed by the Portuguese team on the field.

If it is said that the reversal of the two-game winning streak in the group stage, becoming the first in the group to advance to the knockout stage, gave all the Welsh people an unrealistic fantasy, then, the previous first round of the group stage match against Russia, and this One game against Portugal clearly told all the Welsh people that the strength of the Welsh team is just like this.

Only by seeking truth from facts and knowing ourselves and the enemy can we have the opportunity to go further.

………………

Bell walked into the locker room out of breath, and he could feel that all the teammates around him were exhausted.

Continuous games, long journeys, and Portugal's terrifying strength have caused the Welsh team to be physically stretched after halftime.

The Portugal they are facing tonight is truly the true strength of the top European teams. As for Russia in the first round of the group stage, and even England in the qualifiers, they are nothing more than pseudo-strong teams.

Don't look at the English people blowing the England team as if it is the only one in the world, but the England team is really not a first-class team in Europe, let alone in the world.

As for Portugal, although people keep saying that it is not strong, its record will not lie. In the six world competitions since the beginning of the 21st century, except for the 2002 World Cup group stage elimination, the other two World Cups were fourth in one time and eleventh in one time. And three European Cups, one third, one runner-up, one seventh, the record is not comparable to England, let alone the Russian team.

For a newcomer to the European Cup like Wales, Portugal is really too strong!

Bell could feel the confidence of his teammates slipping away bit by bit,

This is a very normal psychological phenomenon.

The entire first half was suppressed to the point where he could only shoot one shot, and it was made by himself. The Welsh team was almost surrounded by half-court friction, and that kind of despair was unimaginable to outsiders.

It's like a child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, how can he fight a strong man with Kong Wu?

People's hearts are long, and no one has a real will of steel, let alone the Welsh national team that has advanced to the European Cup for the first time in history.

"Everyone did a very good job!" Coleman also looked very dignified after entering the locker room, and comforted the players, "We defended very steadily in the first half and didn't give the opponent the slightest chance. This is very good, believe me , Portugal will play more and more anxiously, and what we need most now is patience and persistence. If the opponent is anxious, they will definitely make mistakes, and their mistakes are our opportunities!"

Coleman spoke excitedly, but the players looked completely unimpressed. This made the coaching staff very anxious, because such emotions are not conducive to the second half of the battle.

They can understand the mood of the players, but at this time they should cheer up.

Bell suddenly raised his head, looked at the teammates of the national team, and said with a serious expression: "Do you believe me?"

When he suddenly asked, everyone looked at him in surprise, even Coleman was a little puzzled.

Seeing everyone looking at him in a daze, Bell gritted his teeth and said something that shocked him: "If you believe in me, then give me a chance. After the second half, continue to fight hard and work hard Don't lose the ball, as for the offense, leave it to me! As long as you pass the ball to the frontcourt, no matter if you pass the ball high, low, left, or right, as long as you pass to me, I will Can catch it, as long as I can catch it, I can put it in the goal!"

Whether it is the real body of this body, or him who traveled from another time and space, he is not a high-profile person, but now that he has said such crazy words, it is obvious that he is really pushed.

Bell is very clear that at the critical moment when the whole team is in denial, it doesn't matter whether he is boasting or not. The important thing is that he must help his teammates in the national team regain their spirits.

Football is an eleven-man sport, and he alone would not be able to win against Portugal anyway. Even if the ball master system gave him a skill that could stimulate the gods for 90 minutes, he would not be able to do it.

But Bell wanted to win, and he didn't want to go home just like that. Even though he made it to the quarter-finals in the European Street finals for the first time, it was already a huge success for the weak Welsh!

But for Bell, this is not enough.

Although Bell himself never thought about the possibility of winning the championship before coming to Eastern Europe, but when the team has entered the knockout round, he hopes that the team can go as far as possible.

Even if it's reaching the finals, or even winning the championship...why not give it a try?

If you can't do it after trying, at least you won't regret it, but if you just give up like this and don't even try, one day he will regret it.

………………

The entire Welsh team was stimulated by Bell's confident words.

Who wouldn't want to win if given the chance? Who wants to lose?

Now, Bell gave them such a hope of winning.

Ramsey stood up first and said seriously, "I believe you!"

As the ace player of Arsenal's biggest opponent in the Premier League, Ramsey knows Bell's strength. This is a magical player who turns the impossible into the impossible.

Before Bell, who dared to say that there was a team in the Premier League that could break 100 points in a single season, who dared to say that they scored 61 goals in a single season, and who dared to say that they could lead the team unbeaten in 100 games. Ramsey must have slapped him in the face: What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't wake up!

But all of this has become a reality under Bell's feet!

"This is like a real Red Devil, I believe you, Gareth!" James Chester, who was born in the Manchester United youth training camp, walked up to Bell, slapped him on the shoulder, and said loudly.

"I believe it too!" Bellamy, a veteran player from Liverpool, also stood up. Although he hated Manchester United, but for this national team teammate who was ten years younger than him, Bellamy only had admire.

"And me!" David Vaughan also stood up.

"Count me in!" cried James Collins, too.

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

...

More and more Welsh players stood up and by the end, the Welsh internationals in the dressing room were all standing.

Bell's eyes were also red, but he still stared at his teammates, gnashing his teeth and said: "Then I'll wait for your pass in front, you guys are so stupid, remember it for me, if you have a chance Pass the ball, don’t make me wait in front!!!”

………………

After the restart of the second half, Portugal continued to strengthen its attack.

On the other hand, the Welsh team continued to retreat steadily in their own half, allowing Portugal to organize an offensive on the outside, just like squatting with their heads in their hands and waiting to be beaten.

Bell is still moving laterally along the center line, harassing and pressing the opponent's defense line, making it impossible for Portugal's defense line to press down and launch an offensive with all its strength.

However, the overall strength of the Portuguese team is really great compared to Wales. Even if Bale almost involves the entire defense line of Portugal, their midfield still has the strength to crush Wales. Under the leadership of Ronaldo, Portugal's midfielder and the full-back on one side, seven people took turns to attack Wales' goal like a tide.

In the 46th minute, the Portuguese left-back and the main left-back of Galacticos Real Madrid, Coentrao, suddenly stepped in and sent a high-quality cross. Flying to the top, the ball is slightly higher than the lintel.

In the 48th minute, the Welsh defender fouled not far from the top of the penalty area and gave Portugal a free kick in a good position. Cristiano Ronaldo hit the goal with a free kick 30 meters away, and the ball hit the hand of Welsh defender James Collins in the wall.

In the 50th minute, Portugal got another free kick in a better position. This free kick was only about 25 meters away from the Welsh goal. Ronaldo took the penalty again. The ball went over the wall and hit the outside of the right post and popped out!

This is the second time that Ronaldo has hit the goal frame in this game, and it is also the fourth time he has hit the goal frame in this European Cup. It is also the sixth time that Portugal has hit the goal frame. 5 times.

After hitting the door frame twice in a match, Ronaldo frowns like a child about to cry, and the anxiety in his heart can be seen.

For Bell's junior who played at Manchester United, Ronaldo is too aware of his horror, because in the previous two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, Bell has shown it in front of him many times.

It is not good news that the goal of this game is so troublesome to me. If I am not lucky, then luck is on the opposite side.

As for Wales, who owns Bell, because as long as they are given a chance, Portugal may have to pack up and go home!
