China has advanced to the finals, and another team will be produced between Portugal and Croatia. These two teams have never reached the World Cup finals, and whoever wins will make history. Both teams have friends from Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo and Modric.

Before the game, Dong Fangzhuo also interacted with them on Twitter, and he @ed them separately.

"Are you two ready? I'm ready, comforting one, congratulating one, and congratulating one, and hope our friendship will last forever regardless of the outcome of the game."

Ronaldo and Modric echoed one after another.

Ronaldo said: "I am ready to comfort him with you." The words were full of absolute confidence, and the subtext was obvious, that is, Portugal will definitely advance, and he will comfort the failed Modric with Dong Fangzhuo.

Modric has no choice. He is just a midfielder. The other two guys are the world's No. 2 strikers, and they must have an advantage. His response is very humorous: "How can I say it, I'm ready on the bench. If you can't do it, I'll do it."

Neither in the Eusebio era nor the golden generation of Figo, Portugal has reached the World Cup final. Ronaldo led the team alone this time and will face a new history. He is extremely eager to complete this feat at the end of his career. He won the European Cup two years ago, and now it is time to launch an attack on the World Cup.

This is not the case with Modric's Croatian siege. At the age of thirteen, he sat in front of the TV and witnessed Croatia making history in the 1998 World Cup. Twenty years later, he personally led the team to the same height. He is now making a record-breaking final.

Tacitly speaking, everyone is heading for the same goal.

The two teams collided in the 2016 European Cup, but Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo defeated Croatia 1-0. However, Cristiano Ronaldo indirectly assisted Quaresma in 117 minutes in overtime.

Today, at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the two teams once again staged a collision between Mars and Earth. Portugal won four times in history, scoring 7 goals and not losing one goal.

Croatia tried to control the game after the start of the game, and the ball possession rate in the first 5 minutes was as high as 90%. The rhythm of the game was frequently interrupted by fouls. Although both teams like to play against defense, Croatia played more overall. However, the European Cup champion Portugal just showed weakness and gave more ball rights to Croatia. This is how the European Cup fight against France is like.

In fact, neither side got any decent chance in the first 25 minutes. Until the 26th minute, Portugal finally got an offensive opportunity in the frontcourt. B-seat dribbled the ball from the right and drove straight in, and was knocked down by Barcelona star Rakitic before scoring, giving Portugal a chance to have a free kick for the whole game. Ronaldo habitually stood in front of the ball, hitting an elevator ball with his right foot, and the ball drew a wonderful arc and flew into the upper right corner of the goal, 1:0.

This is purely a manifestation of the stars' personal abilities.

Even Sky Sports's Ringker had to sigh:

"Everyone says that they are playing overall football now, but superstars are still playing an absolute role."

"Whether it is China or Portugal, they have superstars who are deciding on the game. Dong and Ronaldo both interpret their super-powered role in the team."

"The opportunity that others can't seize, but they're caught."

Portugal, who led the lead, played more conservatively, huddled in the backcourt and played a lot of tactics, and Croatia came out in full swing.

Modric and his teammates tried all their best to equalize the score, but Croatia, who claims to have the world's number one midfielders Modric and Rakitic, was unable to score. Modric, Rakitic, Perisic, and Mandzukic used shots to test the Portuguese goalkeeper one after another, but in the end they could only end the first half 0:1.

Dong Fangzhuo and all members of the national team sat in the hotel conference room and watched the game from beginning to end. Dong Fangzhuo also served as an interim commentator and was analyzing the two teams.

"Portuguese has experience in the European Cup final and its defense is too stable. They may keep defending. The first draw in the group stage also gave them strong confidence."

"Although Croatia conceded a goal, they played better and better, but they were physically at a disadvantage. They have played overtime games in two consecutive games."

"If Portugal could withstand the first twenty minutes of the second half, Croatia would probably be hanging. Portugal is just a swell of people, and they are becoming more and more mature."

"Once the final opponent is Portugal, it will be more difficult than Croatia."

"Pay attention to the two men, B and Guedes. Ronaldo was killed by death. They are the biggest reliance on the counterattack."

"In Croatia, Modric, Perisic and Mandzukic lead the attack, but Rakitic's threat is not great. These three people are like taking expired tung pills..."

After the change of sides, Croatia launched a 15-minute attack after coming up, but like in the first half, there was no rain, and it was always a little bit worse than the goal.

In the 63rd minute, Croatia ushered in an excellent opportunity to equalize. Unfortunately, Mandzukic's header foul was first, and the goal was invalid. Five minutes later, Perisic broke into the penalty area and fell, but the referee refused to score a penalty. The plot seemed to follow the direction the Portuguese imagined.

The head coaches of both sides began to mobilize their troops after 70 minutes and worked hard for the final sprint. As their physical fitness declined, Croatia lost control of the midfield, and Portugal gained more and more ball control, but they still did not push them out to play. Croatia's offense was powerless, and the roaring engines of Rakitic, Perisic and Modric finally remained silent.

In the last moment, Modric dribbled the ball in the middle, but when he dribbled the ball into the Portuguese penalty area and shot from a long time, his ball directly fell to the corner flag, and then cramped. In the end, this world-class veteran had no choice...

Portugal grinded the score of 1:0 to the last second. In the end, they left Croatia with one ball like two years ago and reached the World Cup finals historic. They finally competed with the Chinese team for the 2018 Hercules Cup.

China vs Portugal, this is the last game of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Dong Fangzhuo vs. Ronaldo, this is the biggest collision this summer.
