"Yeah!!!!"

The moment he saw Cristiano Ronaldo score, Santos was of course extremely excited.

He first hugged the coaching staff tightly, and then clenched his fists and waved to his fans to vent his emotions.

In such a crucial final, scoring a goal in the first 20 minutes was undoubtedly an extremely wonderful start for Portugal.

He was always worried that the Swedish team would score first, and then he would hit his counterattack steadily with the wrong leg. Then Portugal's situation would be very bad.

But that's different now.

Portugal has the goal advantage, but they can pull back their front line and play their best defensive counterattack, which will give Pan Yi and the Swedes a headache!

That also gave Santos great confidence: he can really lead the Portuguese team to create history tomorrow!

But soon, Cristiano Ronaldo fell to the ground and Santos was like a bucket of cold water poured from head to toe.

After waiting for a while with a sense of luck, he finally realized that his superstar captain was really going to be injured.

That is undoubtedly bad news.

Does Santos know how much Cristiano Ronaldo asked the Portuguese team?

The first thing he did when he took charge of the Portuguese team was to establish a good relationship with Ronaldo. This would be the foundation for him to gain a foothold in that team.

Otherwise, the locker room won’t be able to hold it back and everything they say will be nonsense.

And even if the mental factors are excluded, just talking about the technical role of the field, even though Ronaldo no longer has any individual explosive ability, his shooting skills and header ability are still not the top level in the world. The key is

There is always time to help Portugal.

No, Ronaldo just opened the scoring for Portugal with a powerful shot.

But now there is no other way, so we can trade him.

In fact, Santos himself is a little worried about Ronaldo's physical condition, because he has indeed played too many games and there are always hidden dangers from old injuries.

However, due to Cristiano Ronaldo's demanding nature, Santos has never dared to let him fight, and will not even trade him, which aggravates the injury.

Didn’t I expect that Ronaldo would be injured just 20 minutes into the final...

What's more, I didn't expect it to happen in such a way.

Injured after celebrating? Well, that's a bit outrageous.

I guess that "SIU" jumped a little too high and his knees couldn't hold it when he fell...

Soon, assistant coach Valle had called Quaresma to Santos' side.

The forward who is called "the best instep in Tiandong" by fans has a wild and free-spirited style of play. His passing and shooting with the instep is his unique skill and trademark. This is where the nickname "Wild Horse" comes from.

At that time, Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo were both the pride of Lisbon. Compared with Ronaldo, who was young at the time, Quaresma was more favored by the team in the East and soon became a core player.

Although he is currently playing in the Turkish league like Nani, his technical skills are not there.

His foot skills are good and delicate, and his dribbling has a leisurely feel; he is not very fast, but has full explosive power; he has a good sense of forward penetration and a strong sense of shooting;

Of course, his most distinctive feature is his extremely flexible right instep.

Quaresma can often use the instep of his right foot to create or draw a good arc, drive in from the right side of the penalty area and rub the left corner of the goal with his right instep. He can also use this kind of footwork to pass key balls.

In this European Cup, although he is basically a substitute, he has also played in all seven games tomorrow, so he can be said to be the number one offensive player on the front line.

Now that Cristiano Ronaldo is injured, Quaresma is of course asking for help.

"Let me tell you, Jie Donglai, please move back a little and don't press so close!" Santos ordered.

Valais also added: "Wrong, please come back a little. It's too dangerous to keep pressing on. They have a bargaining chip now, don't fight them desperately!"

At the same time, Ronaldo was also carried away on a stretcher.

The Portuguese fans in the audience gave their captain warm applause to show their support.

There were even a lot of neutral fans and Swedish fans there.

After all, on the stage of the European Cup final, no one wants to see an injury midway through the game.

And Ronaldo was clearly frustrated.

He lowered his head, his eyes were red, and tears could be seen in his eyes...

Santos patted Ronaldo on the shoulder to express comfort, but Ronaldo walked to the sidelines, waved his leg towards William Carvalho, and then towards Pepe and Fonte, signaling that the defense would not press any more.

Since we are so close, we should pay more attention to the Swedish team's counterattack from the east.

Ronaldo's victory in the Eastern Conference is a foregone conclusion. Now Santos needs to focus more on the game itself and find a way to really win the Eastern Conference final!

Of course, Santos asked his players to retreat a bit without completely giving up the initiative and attack.

He still asked the team to continue to maintain possession of the ball, and at the same time let Nani, B seat, and Quaresma, who had just come on as a substitute, actively prepare to participate in attacks and counterattacks from the front.

Because he knows very well that the backward situation requires the Swedish team to press forward and take the initiative to attack and strive for goals. Otherwise, the Portuguese will definitely lose the initial laugh!

At that time, the Portuguese team took advantage of the mentality of being behind on the wrong leg to expand the score.

Santos turned his head sideways at this time and looked at the middle of the exit of the player tunnel, where the highest honor representing the European football national team - the Delaunay Cup was placed.

Santos secretly pinched the palms of his legs, and then said to himself: "That championship trophy belongs to Portugal!"

——

On the Swedish team, whether it is a coach or a player, it feels a bit strange.

Of course it makes people unhappy when they concede the first goal in the final, but if Cristiano Ronaldo scored that goal, it makes people even more uneasy.

Because before the game, head coach Pan Yi clearly said, "Don't pay too much attention to Ronaldo"!

Even in training, there was no deployment for Ronaldo, nor was Lindelof or Granqvist asked to mark Ronaldo.

It turns out that Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal very quickly. Didn’t that slap Pan Yi in the face?

Is that something that almost never happens? After all, Pan Yi has always been the one to slap them in the face.

But then again…

After Ronaldo scored a goal, he was injured and left the field due to excessive celebrations. That's too weird!

That situation seemed to confirm Pan Yi's "prophecy". You really don't need to pay too much attention to the players who played for 20 minutes after making one mistake!

Those who turned around, it seems that what the boss said was correct.

Therefore, for a while, Sweden's mind in the East was repeatedly washed by Portugal's goal, Cristiano Ronaldo's bizarre East match and Pan Yi's remarks before the game. For a while, the CPU was a little overloaded, and I didn't know what kind of expression to face.

All that is wrong.

And for Pan Yi, of course it was a bit surprising.

No matter how good he is, there is no way he can predict whether Ronaldo will leave the field in that way.

But now all that is no longer required.

Sweden is currently one goal behind. First of all, ask your players to stay calm, not to panic, and to stabilize their position!

However, when Portugal was making substitutions, Pan Yi walked to the sidelines and shouted to Ibrahimovic: "Yang Rattan!"

After Ibrahimovic heard this, he immediately came over and said, "Boss! What's going on?"

"Let me tell you, after the restart, they will continue to stick to their tactics. If anyone refuses to implement the tactics formulated before the game, I will help him kick his ass!"

Pan Yi said very firmly, but Ibrahimovic was a little surprised, because now the Swedish team is lagging behind.

"Continue to take a defensive counterattack?"

"Wrong, I heard it right. Whatever they arranged before the game, we will fight as Donglai did!" Pan Yi repeated again.

After hearing this, Ibrahimovic had some doubts at first, but seeing Pan Yi's confident face, he also nodded: "Okay, he listens to me."

There are only a few people in this world who can convince Ibrahimovic and trust him unconditionally, but Pan Yi is definitely not one of them.

He turned around and summoned his teammates in front of him and said loudly: "The boss said, continue to implement the tactics they arranged before the game! That goal loss was not part of the plan, so don't panic! Just beg.

If they do as the boss says, they can get the score back and take the trophy home in no time!"

There, Ibrahimovic added a lot of fuel and jealousy, and whether he added some of his "personal understanding".

After all, Pan Yi said before the game that he didn't want to pay attention to Ronaldo, and now that Ronaldo has scored and played in the East Game, doesn't it mean that everything was within Pan Yi's expectation?

So after rounding off, Portugal’s goal was certainly not included in Pan Yi’s calculations!

It's a bit difficult to tell whether that kind of "enterprise-level understanding" applies to other players in Sweden.

It’s not that they have any doubts about Pan Yi, but according to the usual practice, the team that loses the ball should think about how to equalize the score;

Therefore, Pan Yi continued to defend, or even defend the strategy, and the players were somewhat surprised, with a trace of confusion on their faces.

"It doesn't matter whether the bosses understand or not, just do it!"

Ibrahimovic roared angrily and clapped his hands: "Anyway, wait until Dong sees who is attacking, and if he doesn't break his legs!"

The players nodded.

Pan Yi and Ibrahimovic can be said to be the backbone of the Swedish team. Since the two big guys have said so, who dares to raise any objections?
