2021.6.16 Portugal 3:0 Hungary
In the early hours of this morning at Hungary's home stadium, 100% open to the fans, tens of thousands of Hungarians came to support with the new crown vaccine, a rare and powerful European home in the last two years . This is not a good first game for Portugal, milking fierce Hungary, physical and mental.
The first 80 minutes of the game was really tough, both sides have back and forth, and even Hungary was the first to score, although offside in the first, but that small cooperation is to penetrate the Portuguese defense, and the shot is very sensational, if there is no offside, Portugal 0:1 loss is also a little bit of nothing to say.
Playing to the last 80 minutes, Portugal finally found a little belonging to their own Latin soccer flavor of the year. In the last ten minutes, with the Latin and modern fusion of soccer style of play, scored three consecutive goals, the Hungary kicked no heart.
Three seconds before the first goal, Portugal infiltration ambush soldiers in front of the field, seemingly relaxed, safe, careless in the area between the arc of the center circle and the arc of the penalty area, slowly pouring feet; paralyzed the opponent, so that the other side into the "Latin dance rhythm and psychology", in a few seconds to put down the sense of danger, looking around! In a few seconds, they let go of their sense of danger, look around, keep their eyes on the changing ball carrier, slow down their running, and don't go forward to take the initiative because they might get passed instead, and just keep the ball carrier out of the penalty area, they might be thinking.
At the sight of this rhythm and scene, the Portuguese fans will subconsciously be happy: they know it's good, they have a chance!
In the group stage of the 2000 European Championships, Portugal 3:2 England, and later lost to Zidane, Henry led the team of France, who won the title.
That year Crowe was 15 years old, witnessed the group stage of the 2000 European Championships, Portugal 3:2 England : the opening was Bey's beautiful passes hit a 0:2 behind.
Then Figo's stunning long-distance shot hung in the corner, a diagonal 45-degree cross for a header, and Nuno Gomes' final strike. Three goals in a row, is that 20 years ago the familiar feeling is reproduced again. The latter two goals, in the latter days is often used as an example to analyze, on behalf of what is the typical retro Latin school of yesteryear.
The golden generation was in its prime at the time, typical of the Latin school, which was still the world's mainstream; slow, inverted feet, the demand for midfield control and the core of the spirit of the distribution of the ball, and sometimes Portugal than the ancestor of the Brazilian kicks more primitive and retro, more Latin, and even let people criticize.
If you look at Portugal and the other side to play is pure modern soccer, speed is extremely fast, rely on the body to scramble, and even like moving martial arts, the ball speed is short and fast, the atmosphere of tension and intensity, the passes are the kind of deliberate inverted triangular or low flat ball, so that the defenders and strikers are more difficult to deal with; in this case, I feel that Portugal is generally not good. 08, 12, two years have been the quintessential representative of modern soccer - the German chariot crushed. The German Chariot crushed. Because it's not really in the bones of Portugal's soccer DNA.
Portugal to do their own, to be integrated into the characteristics of Latin soccer : the front, especially in front of the penalty area, leaning out of a region, in modern times is often the defense will not be relatively too much up front to take the initiative to scramble for the zone; seemingly relaxed, slow and easy to pour feet, look very retro, in fact, is a killing machine in all directions; cold suddenly a foot long-distance shooting, diagonal passes, straight plug, A long shot, a diagonal pass, a direct pass, or a sudden sharp cut with a small technique can all create a goal. The last two goals against England are typical Latin soccer attacks that can be used as teaching videos.
Euro 2016 final, Portugal 1:0 France, won the title
Crowe was violated shortly after the start, and had trouble holding on and went off injured. This is still in France's home field, really not a good fight, after adding insult to injury, the world does not think they are good.
This year Crowe was 30 years old and looked like a real manager off the field. Indeed, at the age of 30, no matter what we do, we also take the identity of a leader to lead the team to collaborate and complete a task, rather than just a simple backbone.
He believes in his teammates, that moment in overtime, the same familiar flavor, the foreground looks harmless after two backpedaling, the substitute on the field of Eder, a cold foot long-distance shot, take the game victory . Portugal 20 years like a dream, this moment to reach the climax! To this day, I can't help but shed a tear when I look back at that game again.
Before the game, I was worried that the more the record was about to be broken, the harder it was to score, just like when Ibe's beautiful goal was blown off in the last game of the season. Fortunately, after nearly 90 minutes of tension, Crowe scored twice, so Crowe has scored 11 goals in the Europa League, the first in history, and we are all witnesses to history.
Hungary's fighting spirit in at least the first 80 minutes of this game has made them proud of their defeat; the fans still collectively roared the Viking war cry after the game. Let's wish them luck in their next two matches against France and Germany, and hopefully they'll be able to get a point, or even a cold one, with a little bit of luck.
Portugal is supposed to beat its absolute nemesis, Germany, and win two in a row to get out of the tournament early, with the final game against France to decide the order of the group and pick the knockout round opponents.
