At the fifty-fifth minute, Violante substituted right winger Luis Lorenço for Quaresma.
Although Quaresma couldn't complete a hat-trick, his two goals and one assist were enough to satisfy him.
He walked toward the bench amidst the applause of the fans.
As Portugal made substitutions, Germany naturally sensed an opportunity to counterattack.
In the sixty-second minute, Schweinsteiger passed back to his club teammate Hitzlsperger, who then made a through pass.
German striker Kuranyi blasted the goal in.
The score was now one to six.
It was as if nothing had changed.
By the seventieth minute, as Germany's offense gradually improved, the fierceness of the competition between the two teams unconsciously intensified.
Deng Kai timely reminded his teammates to fall back on defense and not to tussle with the Germans.
To avoid any unexpected injuries.
His observational skills and ability to control the game made Violante nod continuously on the sidelines.
