Beep!
With the sound of a whistle,
the match officially began.
Portugal kicked off.
However, as soon as Deng Kai passed the football to Costinha, he turned and ran towards England's half.
At the same time, Deco, Viana, Ronaldo, and Figo also rushed forward.
Five arrows unleashed!
Portugal was going for a kickoff blitz!
The pace of the game, from the very first second, was cranked up to the max.
The English, completely unprepared for Portugal's "English-style" offensive, were caught off guard.
Some of their players were retreating to defend while others tried to press, resulting in a clear disconnection.
Costinha passed back to Feng Te.
Feng Te passed it sideways to Veloso.
Veloso took a quick look upfield and before Rooney could close him down, he launched a long ball up the pitch.
Veloso, still considered "quite ordinary" in the world of football,
delivered a long pass that wasn't inferior to Pepe from Porto.
