Chapter 156 The Disaster of the French
Lin Yi's goal made the atmosphere in the Dragon Stadium explode again. This kind of crazy celebration after scoring has become the practice of Porto people.

Especially after Lin Yi scored a goal, he could always successfully incite the entire stadium to go crazy with him. He is a madman who explodes the air.

This is how he got his first red card in the Portuguese Super League. Except for the beating, he also had another red card for undressing to celebrate.

He had already received a yellow card for undressing to celebrate, and this kid still had no memory, and he still waved his team uniform in front of the referee the second time.

The referee wasn't used to his faults either, so two yellows turned into one red, and the penalty was sent out very simply. For this reason, Lin Yi was fined by Mourinho's team.

And Mourinho solemnly warned him that if he dared to do such nonsense in the Champions League, it would not be a fine, but a direct bench for him.

Lin Yi is not afraid of anything else, if he is not allowed to play, it is probably like killing him, so Mourinho's warning is very effective.

But Lin Yi is still the darling of the Dragon Stadium. As long as he raises his hands high, tens of thousands of crazy Porto people will dance with him.

"That kid, it will always be like this, as if the stadium is his stage." When Mourinho saw this scene, he could only look helpless.

Because Lin Yi will never take the initiative to think about the current mood of the opponent. Anyway, as long as he feels comfortable playing on the court, everything is OK.

Porto also has a very fixed rule this season. In any game where Lin Yi scores, they will not lose, and they have never failed.

However, according to Mourinho's words, the kid's scoring efficiency is really too low, and he has only scored eight goals in the whole season so far.

Even Alberto, who often sits on the bench, has scored eleven goals in the league and the Champions League, which made Lin Yi very sad.

It's no wonder that this group of scumbags often made fun of his weird footwork during training, and even Deco joked that he would give the penalty to Lin Yi.

"Anyway, a penalty kick is considered a goal. If this kid can score, at least we won't lose. Isn't that pretty good, right!?"

However, Deke's kindness was rewarded with Lin Yi's violent beating, and when Deke was taking a bath, the kid even turned off the hot water valve on purpose.

Although Lin Yi's goals are always delayed, his deadly passes in the game are indeed getting more and more ruthless, often breaking the deadlock for the team.

So Mourinho didn't expect this kid to score a few goals. As long as his breakthrough is still sharp and his passing is more ghostly, it doesn't matter if he doesn't score.

But this time Lin Yi's pass failed to tear through Lyon's defense, but his goal inspiration suddenly flashed, which made the French equally depressed.

Mourinho was also a little stunned when Lin Yi shot past Kupe's fingers with two consecutive shots. He was frightened by the kid's flash of inspiration.

"Is this still the Lin Yi we know? Why does this little guy suddenly have a forward-like sense?" Mourinho was also a little confused.

Usually, this kind of work can only be done by guys like McCarthy and Dalley, but this time it was Lin Yi who made a sudden breakthrough.

Within a range of less than ten meters in front of the goal, being forced to shoot twice in a row by the opponent is simply embarrassing for Lyon's best defense!
You must know that when the Ligue [-] team reached the [-]th round, the Lyon team did not concede more than [-] goals. It is simply the Great Wall of Steel in the Ligue [-] league.

But this Great Wall of steel in Ligue [-] was torn to pieces by a group of Portuguese barbarians at the Dragon Stadium today, completely disfigured.

You can't ask Coupe to do more. He's almost a god on the goal line. If it wasn't for him in the first half, maybe the score would have been more than this.

Coupe saved the Lyon team at least a few times at critical moments, but that Edmilson guy really didn't perform well in the first 45 minutes.

The Lyon team's defense line led by him was basically messed up by Lin Yi and Deco, and they couldn't stand at all when they were man-to-man.

Thanks to Edmilson, when he was interviewed by the French media before the start of the game, he even boasted that he would completely kill Deco in the game.

Now not only is Deke unable to stare at him to death, but he is being played around by that kid Lin Yi, and he probably can't even find Bei, so he is in a mess.

This time, the regular central defender of the Brazilian national team is a complete embarrassment. He was played like a monkey by a 16-year-old kid.

In front of Edmilson, Lin Yi dared to play any kind of action, such as heeling, continuous pedaling on the bicycle, he played casually.

He not only stunned Diarra for a moment, but also made Edmilson dare not even stretch his feet easily, almost like a dull puppet.

However, after Lin Yi's goal, the Lyon team also made a strong counterattack. The French didn't want to be so completely ashamed at the Dragon Stadium.

In the ensuing counterattack, Juninho dribbled the ball in the midfield and charged forward. He did not give Maniche a chance to entangle him this time, but his strong attack was stopped by Carvalho. An unconventional method was used, but at least it didn't let the guy move on.

Juninho finally managed to get a free kick about 30 meters away from the goal, but his free throw failed to knock Baia's fingers off.

Although there was a heavy muffled sound when the football was volleyed by him, the shot that pursued too much angle eventually slipped past the goal.

And the Lyon team also got such a chance to counterattack, and then, the first half of the game was over, and this group of guys was full of anger.

Especially before they entered the player tunnel, they also saw Lin Yi happily greeting those familiar fans, and they were almost defiant.

But what's the use of their ignorance, look at the ball possession ratio in the first half, even the head coach Le Guin lost his temper, 65% to 35%, this is the reality.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. The Porto team speaks with such a possession ratio. They have done enough preparations to play the game.

This is not a statistical victory won by the Porto team by relying on boring backcourt. More than half of their 65% of the ball possession is an actual threat.

It is not luck that the Porto team can score a goal. If they are lucky enough, those Portuguese will have to score at least three or four goals.

McCarthy had at least three chances to face Cooper calmly in the first 45 minutes, but his shot in this game was almost too close.

Mourinho also said to Brito during the game that if the South African's shots can be more accurate, this guy is a world-class striker.

But he also knew that it was just a wish, and it was basically impossible to buy a world-class shooter with a few million.

Now McCarthy's performance is already a good investment for the Porto team. This guy's worth has at least quadrupled now.

Compared with the fierce offensive of the Porto team, the Lyon team's offense always seemed a bit weak, and even the threat of shooting was far behind.

Although Juninho also hit the goal post with a long shot, what's the use?That was already Lyon's best chance to score in the first half.

Playing at the opponent's home court, if you can't play high-quality offensive cooperation, it is basically half of the loss, let alone less than half.

Counting on such a performance to beat Porto away?Fucking dreams!Legon knew he wasn't naive enough.

"Make the midfield more compact, maintain the proper formation, and don't pursue the speed of attack excessively, then we will not have any advantage."

Although Le Guin talked a lot to these favorites of Ligue 45 in the locker room, how much this group of guys with their heads down listened to, even he himself didn't know. In the past [-] minutes of the game, It is true that the Porto people have hit the ambitions of the Lyon players enough.

If it weren't for the touting of the French media before the game, maybe the game wouldn't have been so bad. These guys seem a bit overconfident.

Especially when the three consecutive Ligue [-] titles are in sight, and the Champions League has once again entered the quarter-finals, Lyon's self-confidence may be inflated for the first time.

But those crazy Portuguese gave them a stick in the head. The Lyon team who beat them all at once didn't have any temper and were quite helpless.

Even Juninho, who has always been the absolute core of the team, did not perform well in the first half of the game, and it is true that others cannot be blamed for being depressed.

Le Guan can only hope that the 15 minutes after the halftime break can calm the mentality of these guys, after all, this is an away game.

This was just the first round of eight to four, and it was on Porto's territory. Even if they didn't play well, after the game, there was still a reason to look for.

Even if they lose a small goal here, they still have a chance to comeback when they return to the Gerland Stadium. If they play too impatiently, it may be a big trouble.

Going up in the second half when the opponent has two or three guys who can deliver the deadly pass is almost suicide.

After the players adjusted for 15 minutes, before leaving the locker room, Le Guin patted Juninho on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.

This absolute core is now the person Legon trusts the most. As long as Juninho can still perform normally, maybe Lyon still has a chance to win the game.

In fact, Juninho's performance is indeed quite calm. He has been relatively calm in the face of Maniche's defense that looks like his pants are wrapped around his legs.

And the long-range shot that hit the goal post, as well as the free kick that slipped past the goal before the end of the first half, all caused Porto a lot of trouble.

But that damned goal was scored at a really bad time. The first half, which had already passed safely, was completely ruined because of a flash of inspiration from that black-haired kid!When Juninho thought of that goal, he felt that his mind was in a mess, and it was a mess at all.

All balance was disrupted by that goal, and now the Lyon team must face a difficult choice, whether to really attack or not.

If you don't attack, just wait for one or two set kick opportunities, maybe when luck comes, there will be a possibility of equalizing the score.

But the premise is that they must be able to keep their own goals, and don't let those Porto people have another chance to cause trouble for themselves. This is really difficult.

For his free kick skills, Juninho is still a little confident, at least within the range of 35 meters, he can indeed threaten Baia.

But that was more of a matter of luck. With the Porto team's stalking defense, they are now extremely stingy even to give a free kick.

All this is due to the intelligence gathering of Mourinho, who has issued a death order since the day he was drawn to the Lyon team.

Within 35 meters in front of the goal, don't foul easily, and don't leave Juninho with the opportunity to attack the goal with a free kick, especially from the front.

This guy even dug out Juninho's free kick scoring data in recent years, and drew the most dangerous areas for Baia and the defenders.

In all the key areas he drew, just don't foul easily. Mourinho doesn't want to achieve a classic reversal of a free kick master.

You must know the foul committed by the Porto team at the end of the first half. When the perpetrator Carvalho returned to the locker room, he was warned again by Mourinho. Waiting for him will definitely be a roar from Mourinho.

Without Juninho posing a threat in the middle, the Lyon team now has a low probability of success just relying on others to pass or break through.

This has been proved in the first half, especially under the marking of Carvalho, Elber looked very weak and could not pose a threat to the goal at all.

This guy Lundura is obviously not good at grabbing points, and he still relies on roaming to find opportunities to score goals more often.

Although his rapid rise this season is amazing, but in this kind of game, he still seems a bit inexperienced and has no clue in the offense.

The weak performance of Lyon's two forwards indirectly caused their passivity. Looking at the South African diamond of the Porto team, it is simply incomparable.

However, many people still ignore why McCarthy was able to get so many shots in the first half, and who was passing the ball to him.

If Lin Yi and Deco hadn't been pulling wildly in the midfield, the elegant South African hunk would never have performed so dazzlingly.

It's not that Lyon's forward line doesn't run much, but it's difficult for the midfielder to provide them with high-quality through balls, and it's difficult for them to find opportunities to catch the ball.

But this is not a problem that Juninho can solve alone. Lyon has sent its strongest lineup, but the game is so difficult to play.

And this situation continued in the second half. From the second half of the game, Porto's offense was once again overwhelmed.

Less than 4 minutes into the opening of the second half, Valente, who was suppressed by Gowu for a long time, finally lost his temper. This guy dribbled the ball all the way, got rid of the markings of two people, and went straight to the penalty area. At the moment when he broke into the big penalty area , this guy tried his best to volley with the outside of his foot.

Fortunately, this time Kupe didn't allow himself to transform into a superman. Although Valente's shot was sudden, the guy hit too hard and went flying.

But this is just the prelude to Porto's offensive frenzy again. Even Govou was pressed back by the furious Valente. What is left of the Lyon team?
One minute after Valente went crazy, Deco made a pass from the left, and McCarthy grabbed a point in front of the goal to overwhelm Muller with a header, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Porto's offense was wave after wave, but Lyon's counterattack did not come until 5 minutes. Govou passed the ball at a 45-degree angle from the wing. A small angle shot from the left side of the penalty area, but Baia firmly held down the football.

This is the gap between the two teams on the field. The Porto team's offense has almost never stopped, and it has been continuously suppressed.

However, Lyon's offense can only take time to go up for a while, and cannot form effective continuity at all. The center and front field have always been in a state of disconnection.

There is only one shot every five or six minutes, and it is impossible to effectively suppress the Porto team's offensive. Juninho is useless even if he is anxious.

A direct free kick that Lyon finally got was wasted by Juninho's impatience. The shot was high and wide.

The core of the team like Juninho is distracted by the opponent's violent attack, how can you expect the rest of the Lyon team to remain calm?

Edmilson, who was fooled by Lin Yi for a long time, was in a fever for a while. After he stole the ball, he dribbled the ball madly in the backcourt. However, the Brazilian's foot skills are really not for nothing. Even Costinha Being swayed by him, at a distance of 30 meters, he shot furiously.

But compared with the technique at his feet, his shooting skills are indeed a bit rough. Baia didn't even bother to move his position, and just watched the football fly high above the baseline.

When the entire Lyon team began to become impatient, the Porto team's opportunity came. They attacked unhurriedly, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

In the 701st minute, Deco passed directly to the center of the penalty area near the left sideline, McCarthy inserted at high speed, and made a low-altitude dive header.

McCarthy's insertion was too sudden, and Edmilson had no time to hold his opponent, which made McCarthy's header firmly settled.

Kupe barely touched the football with his fingertips, but the football hit the goal post and bounced to the center of the penalty area, and Lin Yi rushed there first.

But this time Diarra followed him and completely blocked Lin Yi's shooting angle, but Lin Yi's next move made Diarra desperate.

Because of Diarra's follow-up defense, Lin Yi didn't intend to take the first shot at all. When the football bounced over, he directly stopped the ball with his chest.

Stopping the ball was nothing unusual, but Lin Yi's stop was not for himself, but he used his chest to stop the ball directly near the middle of the penalty area.

An absolute defensive space, and there is a guy flying over to that landing point, Deco!He almost kicked the ball hard.

Less than seven meters away from the goal, even if Kupe is really a Superman wearing underwear, he can't react. He can only watch the football pass through his fingertips and fall into the net. The voice almost made all the French feel desperate.

A black-haired boy, brandishing his sharp knife, pierced the Maginot Line again, leaving the French with only a sigh. . .

(Hey, it’s really easy to watch the Celtics play now. Everyone contributes more than a dozen points, which is completely enough. No one is tired. This is too comfortable...)
