c-Ronaldo was quite angry. He was very confident in his skills. Even if it was not the first time he faced Zhang Tiehan's defense, he still wanted to try it. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the World Cup, he still failed when facing Zhang Tiehan again.

He was not convinced.

He doesn't think he is worse than Zhang Tiehan at all. He is a core player of Manchester United. He scored second in the team last season at Manchester United. He often plays as a wing forward. The wing forward is naturally not as good as the center. Most shots rely on himself to create. Even so, his league goals still reached 17 and there were two goals in the Champions League. This performance is quite gorgeous. The English media called him the "first left forward" and thus c-Ronaldo's reputation has increased greatly.

He doesn't think he is worse than Zhang Tiehan, and the two are also comparing the offensive aspects. Now when Zhang Tiehan comes to defend, the two are one-on-one duel, and his dribbling can't deceive the opponent?

You know, the opponent is a striker!

A world's top forward... has anything to do with defense? Perhaps excellent players have good defense, but the best thing about a forward is always offense, but the result is that his offense is not as good as the opponent's defense.

He is good at attacking. Obviously, they are all offensive players. Zhang Tiehan is naturally good at attacking, so his defense is very average. As a result, he failed to defend against Zhang Tiehan with offense... and it was a continuous failure!

This is not the first time!

As early as a year and a half ago, Manchester United played against Roma in the Champions League, and C-Ronaldo and Zhang Tiehan directly fought. That time, C-Ronaldo also knew that he needed to improve more if he wanted to break through Zhang Tiehan. In the past season, Manchester United and Liverpool also had direct fights, and C-Ronaldo still couldn't take advantage. Fortunately, he and Zhang Tiehan are both offensive players, and there are not many opportunities to fight in the game.

He originally thought that he had improved a lot, so he would fight directly like this. Even if he couldn't defeat Zhang Tiehan, he would not be easily stolen. The result is now like this.

c-Ronaldo is quite unwilling to give up!

As a result, when he had a chance again for the second time, he could clearly choose to pass the ball to his teammates, but he still resolutely brought the ball towards Zhang Tiehan!

......

Zhang Tiehan praised C-Ronaldo a little...

He left Manchester United in the past because of C-Ronaldo. Otherwise, he might be a member of Manchester United now. He is the core of Manchester United and will not have the experience of constantly transferring. If that were the case, he still believed that he could improve to the current level, but the process would definitely be completely different.

It can be said that C-Ronaldo changed his career path. But this is not a good change, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he and C-Ronaldo have deep hatred. Zhang Tiehan has been quite revenge, but after so long and more than three years, his mentality has become very peaceful.

They are just strangers they meet on the court.

The two may have a comparison and conflict in their hearts, but they are more of competition. Both are big stars in England, and they are also the core of the two giant teams, and more of a competitive relationship. Competition naturally has a victory or defeat. Zhang Tiehan has always been the winner. At least facing C-Ronaldo, he will defend very seriously every time, and he has not failed.

Zhang Tiehan was also a little impressed when he saw C-Ronaldo's "perseverance". No wonder this guy was able to become a big star at such a young age. He did a very good job in his spirit of not giving in.

Only by challenging opponents who are stronger than you can grow.

This is not a martial arts. It is also common in football, but it’s a pity... you chose the wrong opponent!

Zhang Tiehan smiled slightly.

Perhaps other people are not sure that they will be able to block C-Ronaldo's ball, but Zhang Tiehan, who has "see through" and has the best physical fitness in the world, is not "other". No fancy technology in front of him is useful. Unless someone can directly use the combination of technology and body and don't give him the chance to intercept the ball, otherwise it would be a fool to want to pass him one-on-one.

Now is a cruel knockout match. Even if Zhang Tiehan has a little sympathy for C-Ronaldo, he will never hold back.

So he did.

When C-Ronaldo shook continuously and wanted to rely on technical breakthroughs, Zhang Tiehan stood there like an iron tower and did not move. No matter what fake moves C-Ronaldo made, he completely ignored them. Only when C-Ronaldo really wanted to push the ball to one side, Zhang Tiehan moved.

He stepped forward and directly blocked the ball with his calf.

c-Ronaldo was startled and immediately wanted to raise his foot and change direction, but Zhang Tiehan had already hooked the ball to his feet first. As a result, c-Ronaldo kicked the empty place, and his body was unstable and fell to the ground.

Kicking in one kick is very easy to get hurt!

Portuguese fans were shocked, but Zhang Tiehan had no time to pay attention to how C-Ronaldo was. It was obvious that he had not played the ball and fell to the ground. The two of them didn't even have physical contact. Of course, it was not a foul, so he directly dribbled the ball quickly before the ball.

c-Ronaldo lay on the grass and didn't get up for a long time, but the referee did not blew the whistle to stop the game.

The Portuguese team was a little panicked for a moment.

Some people looked at C-Ronaldo, but most players were still paying attention to defense. After all, the game did not stop, but in a moment, Zhang Tiehan had already dribbled the ball across the center line.

Rooney ran ahead of him.

When he saw Rooney start and run forward, Zhang Tiehan directly passed the ball forward with a long pass. Rooney accelerated and started at the same time, crossed Carvalho who was standing at the end, and received a pass in front of the penalty area line.

The shouts from Schalke Stadium immediately rose to a higher level!

Most of the players stopped running. They only watched Rooney and Carvalho's confrontation. Rooney was rushing forward and he got the ball, but Carvalho's defense had a great impact on him. He ran forward quickly and it was not easy to find a chance to kick along the rhythm.

He could only carry Carvalho to protect the ball and lead forward.

Goalkeeper Riccardo attacked.

Rooney wanted to shoot, but there was no chance at all. At the same time, what most people didn't notice was that a white figure also caught up.

"Here, come here! Wayne!"

A loud shout reminded Rooney that he had no time to look back while running, but he knew it was Zhang Tiehan's shout, so he didn't hesitate much. He directly passed the ball back with one heel.

Since the football is fast forward, the heels cannot be used much force.

That's enough!

Carvalho ran forward with Rooney again, and he couldn't stop, let alone quickly reacting and chasing back and forth. Goalkeeper Ricardo stood too far and there was no chance. As a result, the only chance was Zhang Tiehan. He had no pressure at all. He ran forward in three steps and shot in front of the football!

Bang!

The power was very strong, and the Portuguese fans closed their eyes.

They didn't dare to watch the next scene, just because the shot was England's No. 13. Even when someone defended, the opponent could shoot the ball directly into the goal from the outside of the penalty area, let alone in the penalty area, and no one defended it.

Their conjecture is correct.

There was no suspense at all in the ball and flew directly into the unguarded goal on the right.

......

The second goal!

After completing the shot, before the referee had time to blow the whistle and score the goal, Zhang Tiehan ran forward with a laugh and gave Rooney a hug. With the hugs of the two, the stadium scoreboard was also rewritten.

Two to zero!

England leads Portugal by two goals.

The English fans at the scene were cheering, not only for this goal, but also for the situation of the England team. With the advantage of two goals, their hope of winning the final victory was even greater. This was not an ordinary victory. After winning this game, England entered the semi-finals of the World Cup!

The semi-finals!

The best result in England's history is the championship. But that goes back half a century ago. In addition to that championship, England's best result is the semi-finals, and also goes back to 1990. Sixteen years have passed, and England has never crossed the threshold of the quarter-finals. Almost every World Cup will fall to the quarter-finals and quarter-finals, and they will bid farewell to the World Cup venue by failing in the penalty shootout.

This is the tragic result of England.

Now in this game, England has led Portugal by two goals. If the game continues like this, it is too difficult for Portugal to turn the tables. English fans have reason to cheer for this hard-earned semi-finals ticket.

Not only the fans, but also the various English commentators were also very excited.

"Two to zero! Zhang's goal helped the team expand its score advantage! England is two goals ahead of Portugal!"

"Beautiful job! Zhang and Rooney's cooperation is perfect! We led by two goals!"

"Portuguese has little chance. They have to catch up with two goals if they want to defeat England, but it is really difficult. I think the game has ended early..."

"There is still a lot of time left in the second half, but England's advantage is obvious!"

"This is Zhang Tiehan's eighth goal in the World Cup! His goal number is far ahead of German scorer Klose, who has scored four goals so far and ranked second!"

"One goal, one assist, Zhang's performance was perfect!"

"Rooney's heels have made contributions!"

"Rooney has been performing very dull after returning from injury, but he made a contribution to the attack this time! He became a key figure in the victory of England!"

......

On the court.

After the England team celebrated a little, everyone was also very happy. The two goals leading gave everyone a great attitude. With the advantage of two goals, it became much easier to win.

The mentality of Portuguese players is completely opposite.

When they fell behind two goals, their pressure doubled. Before, they were behind one goal, and they kept attacking and were looking forward to trying hard to score goals to tie the score. However, when two goals were behind, they had to score two goals to tie the score. The gap between one and two goals was completely different, especially the latter goal was scored just now. They kept attacking wildly in the second half, but England scored in the end, which made it difficult for Portuguese players to accept.

They were somewhat depressed - except for C-Ronaldo.

The goal just now started with C-Ronaldo being intercepted by Zhang Tiehan. As a result, Zhang Tiehan and Rooney cooperated directly to score the ball. C-Ronaldo was originally lying on the grass, trying to gain sympathy and asked the referee to blow the whistle and signal the game to be suspended. But the referee ignored him at all, and instead gave England a chance.

This made C-Ronaldo quite depressed...

He is the kind of player who doesn't care about the process for victory. He has the ability and will use some means in the game. Many fans know this because for a while, "fake fall" was synonymous with c-Ronaldo, but he doesn't care.

He cares more about victory.

Now it is difficult for Portugal to win. No matter what the reason, there is always a result of two goals falling behind. Then what he cares about becomes a fight with Zhang Tiehan.

c-Ronaldo cares about being intercepted twice in a row.

When England celebrated the goal, he kept thinking about the process of being intercepted twice. He tried hard to break through and focused his efforts to do so, but he was directly cut off. In the end, he admitted that Zhang Tiehan's defense was indeed good, especially in one-on-one confrontation, he was always able to make a decisive move.

But C-Ronaldo is still not convinced, and he still wants to give it a try.

After the game started again, when he had the chance to face Zhang Tiehan again, he still did this. This time, C-Ronaldo was very cautious and did not break through directly. Instead, he carefully protected the ball and slowly approached Zhang Tiehan. He knew that Zhang Tiehan was very strong. At least stronger than him, but as long as he protected the ball, if Zhang Tiehan fought head-on, it would be a collision foul, so C-Ronaldo was not worried.

Zhang Tiehan looked at C-Ronaldo's actions and gave him a thumbs up.

This guy will learn from failure experience...

At least when facing himself, he is improving, rather than blindly dribbling the ball again and again. Zhang Tiehan has no good idea when facing C-Ronaldo's actions. He can only defend closely and not give C-Ronaldo the chance to dribble the ball in the inside.

His eyes were also staring at C-Ronaldo's feet. As long as he had a chance, he would not let it go even for a moment.
