Soon after Kjellström appeared on the court against the skeptical eyes of the fans, he began to show his worth.

Anyone who has played FM games knows that when a player reaches his thirties, the fastest decline is in physical attributes, such as speed, strength, endurance, etc., which all decline precipitously.

However, technical attributes, especially mental attributes, will not decline so quickly.

Even for some veterans, the mental attributes will reach a peak, such as teamwork, leadership, willpower, etc., including awareness on the court - because these are often related to game experience.

The same goes for Kjellström.

Now, his physical strength is indeed unable to support a high-intensity 90-minute game.

That's different from Ibrahimovic at the same age.

On the one hand, Ibrahimovic is the front center, and the tactics do not require him to press and run with high intensity all the time;

On the other hand, Ibrahimovic's physical fitness is indeed different from ordinary people, otherwise he would not have retired until he was in his forties.

As an "ordinary person", Kjellström does not play in the midfield position that requires the most fighting and running. Of course, he will not be able to play in intense games for too long.

But now he thinks more about the team.

Including being replaced in the first half of the group match, and not having many playing opportunities later, he did not complain, but continued to train conscientiously outside the team and encourage young players outside the team, which reflected

Good work ethics.

And if Pan Yi sent him on the scene at the critical moment with 10 minutes left in the final, Kjellström did not try his best to repay the coach's trust in him!

Now, he has a very good ability to read the game, and his ability in positioning, defensive lateral interception and other aspects is very good.

Including running without the ball in the midfield, picking up the ball after opening the space, and passing the ball, it can be said that they are all top-notch.

He may not be as fast as him, but now that he has Larsson's invincibility to protect him, and Forsberg's cooperation with him, he can make up for this weakness to a large extent.

Pan Yi sent him on the court to strengthen the attack at the initial moment, especially the large-scale long pass transfer and resolutely hit the Portuguese full-back!

Regardless of whether it’s Cancelo or Cedric, Portugal is now more pressing when attacking because they don’t want to kick overtime or penalty kicks!

Not long after Kjellström came on the court, he completed an interception in the backcourt and directly launched a long pass, but Durmaz on the left was unable to control the ball in front of Cedric's defense.

The ball was cleared by Cedric.

But no, Kjellström's long pass won the cheers of many fans.

Because everyone has seen that the veteran's skills are very good. Is there a reason why Pan Yi replaced him with him?

Moreover, Kjellström's presence brought not only changes at the tactical level, but also at the spiritual level.

An old house where a treasure.

In a Swedish national team dominated by young players, veterans like Ibrahimovic and Kjellström are obviously valuable assets.

In such a suffocating European Cup final, they can often help young players stabilize their mentality and avoid panic due to the passive situation.

Swedish heroes like Ibrahimovic and Kjellström, who have played more than a hundred times for the national team, can make people around them feel a kind of spiritual power just standing there.

It's as if they are there and everyone has confidence, which makes the players of the Swedish team feel a kind of trust and dependence.

And Kjellström himself is also a very hard-working player, and his fighting spirit can also drive the whole team to be aggressive and fight to the end against the wrong leg.

Soon, in the 87th minute of the game, Kjellström took advantage of Seat B to retreat to get the ball in the backcourt. He pressed the wrong side with his body and stole the ball with his east foot in advance, letting the ball come to the east.

Larsson, who chased back, got the chance to take possession of the ball.

Just like every time the Swedish team had the ball in the past, Portugal immediately applied pressure in front, especially the players in the midfield and frontcourt, who immediately launched a counterattack on the spot.

Larsson chased back to get the ball, but his back was wrong towards the goal, and there were Portuguese players surrounding him. Therefore, he did not choose to force it, but followed the head coach’s instructions before the game and returned the ball outside his penalty area.

pass.

As early as Kjellström stole the ball, Lindelof had already retreated and put some distance between himself and the defensive player in front.

When Larsson passed the ball back before double-teaming, Lindelof stopped the ball steadily outside the penalty area. Looking forward, he found that Kjellström had quickly ran to the other side.

The time is waiting.

That’s Kjellström’s characteristic in the later period, his ability to run without the ball is very good!

However, Lindelof did not hesitate and passed forward directly, and the ball reached Kjellström's feet.

Then I saw Kjellström make a fake pass, first dunking Quaresma who was trying to grab him, and then using his right foot to make a long pass from a long distance.

The arc of that long pass was beautiful and the landing point was excellent!

The ball passed through a beautiful parabola from the middle of the backcourt, then fell straight to the left side of the frontcourt, landing behind Cedric, the right back of the wrong team, and Durmaz, the left winger of the own team.

Durmaz had already chosen to press forward after the team stole the ball, getting close to Cedric.

When he turned sideways and saw the pass from the backcourt, he kicked off his legs and ran as fast as he could, passing Cedric in an instant. Using his explosive power and speed in a short period of time, he surpassed

The Portuguese.

But Cedric is also very experienced.

He knew very well that after being forced to break through by the wrong winger, it would be too late to compete with him for speed, so he chose to run in a roundabout way.

However, when Durmaz secured the ball from Portugal's 30-meter area, he happened to be following Durmaz, and his position was exactly in the way of the latter's outside cut.

Durmaz had no choice but to stop the ball and deliberately paused to control the ball first.

At that time, Ibrahimovic was also chasing from behind, followed by Pepe and Fonte.

But at the front of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic did not choose to continue deeper outside the penalty area, but instead pulled to the left.

Durmaz immediately passed the ball to the bottom line on the left side. Ibrahimovic rushed over and stopped the ball. Pepe behind him had blocked his turning angle, preventing him from easily entering the penalty area.

Because the Portuguese central defender wants to know more clearly than anyone else, it is too dangerous to let Ibrahimovic enter the penalty area with a killer leg.

Fonte also returned to the left side of the penalty area to block, preventing Ibrahimovic and Durmaz from posing a threat. Cancelo on the other side was looking at Isaac, but Portugal's defense seemed to have blocked it.

When the Swedish team counterattacked, Ibrahimovic suddenly dribbled the ball back along the left and went straight to Cedric.

As soon as Cedric saw Ibrahimovic coming towards him, he immediately threw away Durmaz and chose to block Ibrahimovic with Pepe.

Because at this time there is a Fonte standing in the corner of the penalty area stationed in the area, and the midfielders are already in place, he must ensure that Ibrahimovic cannot pass him and get a chance to shoot.

But Ibrahimovic immediately passed the ball to Durmaz, who was in a better position.

Durmaz took the ball and directly faced Fonte, but he still did not choose to dribble the ball himself. Instead, he moved the ball horizontally and passed it from the front of the penalty area to the center.

At that time, I saw a player wearing a yellow Sweden jersey quickly chasing from behind. After receiving Durmaz's pass from the front, he took the opportunity to lead into the penalty area.

And there, it happened to be that it cut into the loophole in Portugal's defense, and no one was defending it!

As soon as he entered the penalty area, he calmly and decisively volleyed without waiting for Patricio to attack.

The ball passed from Patricio's right side at an extremely fast speed, almost clinging to the turf, and quickly passed through the goal behind him!

Facing the sudden thunderous shot, Patricio didn't even have time to react. When he turned around, he saw that the ball had already entered the net.

Everyone looked at that scene with their mouths open, and they all looked at the man who was getting up in disbelief.

After he finished shooting, he knelt down in the penalty area, bent his waist, and nodded his head on the grass outside the penalty area. Everyone could see the number on his back, No. 9.

!

True or false Kjellström!

At this time, he had already run all the way from the backcourt to the front in time, and then received a wonderful pass from Durmaz, who was also on the bench, and shot directly!

Although scoring goals has always been Kjellström's strength, that time, he seized the opportunity and shot it very beautifully!

The fans in the stands were all stunned for a moment when Kjellström scored. Then the Portuguese fans continued to be stunned, while all the Swedish fans cheered and shouted Kjellström's goal.

name.

At that moment, Kjellström once again became a hero of Swedish football!

"In the 88th minute, the Swedish team scored another goal! They completed an epic comeback from falling behind to equalizing to overtaking!"

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Swedish fans, the stadium's big screen was also replaying the entire Swedish team's scoring process. Everyone could clearly see through the big screen how the Swedish team scored.

"First deny Kjellström's steal, then deny Kjellström's long pass, and finally deny Kjellström's shot! The 34-year-old veteran showed his comprehensive ability and also showed his

Thanks to his positive attitude!”

"He is like a superman, completing his tasks in every corner of the stadium, and exceeding his expectations!"

"Of course, the cooperation between Ibrahimovic and Durmaz on the left is also very beautiful. Durmaz is very active after coming on the bench, using his active running to repeatedly impact the Portuguese defense. And Ibrahimovic is as effective as ever.

Threat, or rather, just asking him to stand there is the biggest threat!"

"Their cooperation also created an opening for Kjellström's decisive advance, and gave the Swedish team the final chance to make the final decision!"

"Portugal was under pressure for almost the whole game and was passively beaten for almost the whole game. However, the Swedish team made two beautiful counterattacks and penetrated Portugal's goal twice."

"What's even more rare is that both goals were completed before the end of the two halves. This fully reflects the Swedish team's tenacious fighting spirit and desire to win, and their amazing fighting will...

…”

Amid the commentator's praise, Portugal's head coach Santos was already standing on the sidelines making substitutions.

Time is running out, and he must change the current backward situation as soon as possible!
