Midfielder.

Chapter 177

"McCarthy, shoot! The ball hit the goal post and flew out of the baseline. The Monaco people should really thank this unlucky South African at this moment."

Who is the most relaxed on the court now?That must be the man in charge of the Portuguese commentary. He is even in the mood to tease McCarthy's footwork now.

Not only is there no pressure in the commentary now, even the Porto fans at the scene are not impatient. They even booed at McCarthy in good faith to make fun of the South African's ability to waste opportunities. Now they seem to be It was the same in the Portuguese Super League.

No way, this game has almost become Porto's solo dance. Just like the shot just now, the Porto people have launched many consecutive attacks.

Although McCarthy has wasted three opportunities in a row, the passes from the midfielder are still continuously delivered to the sharp knife of the striker.

This is the horror of the Porto team. Even if they don't have a striker who can block their throats, they can still use quantity to produce qualitative changes.

Missed a shot?That's okay, because soon you'll have a second chance, and Lin Yi and Deco are literally a never-ending transport line.

McCarthy will apologize for his wasted opportunity, but no one in the Porto team cares about these small things, because there will be a next time.

Not once?Then twice, if not twice? OK, let's keep going until that damn football finally goes into the net and it's not over.

Although the final decisive battle of the Champions League was on German soil, the French did not have the inherent tenacity of the Germans this time. Their spirit was on the verge of collapse after the second goal, and Giuly suddenly Ending due to injury undoubtedly exacerbated the deterioration of the situation again.

Didier Deschamps yelled a desperate slogan to the players during the intermission, but this time he didn't get any response.

In the silent locker room, only the breathing of the players was left. There was no excitement like before the game, everything seemed lifeless.

Even Morientes didn't want to speak. He told a familiar reporter before the game that he would definitely score goals on the court to consolidate his position in the scorer list.

In the entire first half of the game, the top scorer in the Champions League has only scored three headers, let alone scored.

Except for the header in the 3rd minute after the opening that scared Baia into a cold sweat, Morientes behaved more like a lonely soul on the field.

He ran back and forth, but he couldn't receive the pass from the midfielder at all. Sometimes he even had to retreat to the center circle in order to get the ball.

For a center forward like him who doesn't have any advantage in speed, if he retreats to get the ball and then breaks through, he is undoubtedly looking for a dead end, and there is no threat at all.

No attack, no shot, what was waiting for the French was a collapse, a collapse, a strong collapse, this kind of tragedy repeated back and forth, repeated over and over again.

It's no wonder that the French have never been the ones who can always shout to the end, especially in the case of a desperate battle, they often appear very weak.

They have proven this many times in the World Series. Whenever a final penalty shootout is required, they rarely have the last laugh.

Even in the era with the peerless midfielder Platini, they often fell at the feet of the Germans and Italians in life-and-death battles.

Penalty kicks and strong dialogue once became the culprit of the French. Even a team like Bulgaria can kill the French in a life-and-death battle.

It seems that such things as toughness are a bit strange to the French, at least deep in their hearts, they don't have the kind of bravery to fight to the end.

The only exception may be the World Cup in 98, but that weird final may leave fans with more doubts.

Their most manly time, that is, in the 2000 European Championship final, they were able to win two consecutive cities and kill their opponents when they were behind by one goal.

In the past 20 years of Champions League competitions by French clubs, Marseille has risen once, but in the end their trophy was cast in gray.

Deschamps originally wanted to take advantage of the intermission to pass on his courage to defeat AC Milan to his players, but obviously, he failed this time.

After the start of the second half, Monaco still looked very passive on the field. Shooting shots like McCarthy's had appeared in front of the goal several times in the past.

The halftime break did not make the Porto people lose their offensive spirit, on the contrary, they appeared more fierce in the midfield fight, especially the black-haired kid. When it was time, he did not hesitate at all.

Even under the nose of the referee, he dared to steal the opponent very fiercely, foul?Forget it, that kid didn't think about it that much at all.

Anyway, Lin Yi had a simple idea in his mind, "As long as I'm still on the field, those Frenchmen won't be able to control the midfield so easily."

This is what Mourinho reminded every team member at midfield, the game is not over yet, never relax, not only to win, but also to win!

The lag in the score has put a heavy psychological burden on every Monaco. After Giuly left the field due to injury, even Roten began to disappear on the field. It is not that there is something wrong with him, but that Varen Te and Maniche's defense against him began to become extremely fierce.

"Since one of the Frenchman's knives has been knocked out, why should he keep one?" Mourinho will never make it easier for his opponents.

Monaco's offense has been completely paralyzed now. Except for Pursau who can mess up in the frontcourt, the rest are all tightly trapped in the midfield.

The Porto team is such a rogue now, it will form an effective division and encirclement for each of your players with the ball in the narrowest range.

Just like a swamp, it firmly locks the French's offensive footsteps, does not leave them any opportunity to take advantage of them, and stifles their offensive ideas.

Except for Morientes who was still running desperately in the frontcourt, the rest of the offensive players seemed to have given up a little bit, which made Prince Rainier, who was sitting in the stands, a little bit uncomfortable. After cursing loudly, he left his seat with a look of anger.

It's been a long journey, and it took a lot of hard work, but now it's such an ending, no wonder the prince behaved so badly, it would be uncomfortable for anyone else.

This has nothing to do with self-cultivation. Instead of sitting here and watching your opponent ravage your nerves, it's better to act like a bachelor and leave immediately.

At least you don't have to listen to those Portuguese boos and ridicules here. Those crazy fans don't care what kind of prince you are. They only know that you are a Frenchman and your opponent. All they have to do is treat you Stretching out his middle finger, he kept making harsh hisses.

But compared with that unlucky prince, those big figures in Portugal rarely have such great elegance to appreciate their team's performance.

Now may be the most glorious moment in Da Costa's life, because even Portugal's Prime Minister Sampaio greeted him very politely.

"A very good team, you have won honor for our country and also made a good start for our upcoming European Championship."

Sampaio talked with Da Costa in the same tone of appreciation as an old friend, and they were enjoying this Portuguese football feast together.

Perhaps in the Portuguese football circle, only Da Costa has enjoyed such treatment, all because of the group of lunatics under him.

It was they who turned the stage of the Champions League final into their own territory. They used their skilled skills and crazy energy to perform perfectly.

Now no one cares whether this is a war among civilians, because the Porto team brought a perfect offensive performance to all the fans watching the game.

Maybe they don't have the reputation of those giants, but now no one dares to guarantee whether those giants will perform so well when they enter the finals.

The endless blue waves hit the red and white embankments again and again, making the hearts of all Frenchmen tighten in this offensive.

The French fans at the scene had forgotten how to shout. The only sound their vocal chords could make was the bursts of exclamation.

Deschamps looked at the opponent's attacks on the field, and he sighed helplessly. It's not that he didn't think of a way, but everything is out of control now.

No matter how much he wastes saliva, it is impossible to restore the disadvantage that the Monaco team is facing now. The opponent has already touched the edge of the Big Ears Cup.

The French's fragile defense is now just desperately resisting, trying to delay their defeat for a longer time, but this is just struggling.

As for a young central defender like Givee, when faced with such a big scene, he already has a certain amount of pressure, and now he has become even more depressed.

The heavy pressure of consecutive mistakes completely crushed the young man's self-confidence this time, at least he can no longer perform at his usual level.

After the start of the second half, McCarthy grabbed two consecutive headers in front of Givet, which made the Monaco goalkeeper start to reprimand Givewe loudly.

"Keep an eye on him! Don't let me remind you again! Do your job well! Don't let me wipe your ass again!", this kind of roar made Ji Wei completely collapse.

Looking at Giverna's desperate eyes, what Deschamps can do now is to warm up Squillage and get ready to play at all times.

In this passive situation, Deschamps can no longer think about more things, and Monaco's second substitution is just wasted by him.

Maybe it was a waste, but if he doesn't make this personnel adjustment now, he really doesn't know how long that young kid can last on the court.

It is also the first time to participate in the final, and it is also a young man. Why did the players under him perform so poorly? Didier Deschamps was really sad.

Especially when he saw that little lunatic Lin Yi breaking through Zikos' defense again and again, he couldn't help cursing that damn kid in his heart.

Without him, maybe this game would not have played like this, and the Monaco people would not have fallen into a broken mood so quickly.

But does the curse work?Deschamps still has to face the reality, because for him in this game, it may only be left to barely maintain his dignity.

A personnel adjustment that he denied himself, maybe Deschamps also has a little bit of regret at the moment, why did he choose to make such a substitution before the final.

Just like those Frenchmen asked before the game, why didn't Squillazzi continue to serve as the starter?Not even Deschamps himself can answer this question.

Maybe it's because of Givew's performance in the league recently, or Didier Deschamps wants to make a tactical change, anyway, no one can explain it all.

When Squillazzi completed the warm-up at the fastest speed and replaced Givet, who was almost mentally broken, he did not look back at the expression on Deschamps' face.

Maybe even Squillazzi himself doesn't know why all this is, but he just wants to play football now and prove that he is qualified for this position.

Moreover, there are still many scouts sitting in the stands of the stadium to observe him. Maybe this summer, he will say goodbye to the Monaco team completely.

The opportunity that can be seized now, that is, the remaining four or 10 minutes, does not matter the outcome. Maybe now Squillazzi is just fighting for his own future.

Or Squillazzi wants to use this method to prove to Deschamps that giving up himself in such a crucial game is actually a crime.

As for that unlucky little guy, no one cared anymore, because when he was off the court, all he heard were boos from the French.

There are even many French fans who are near the coach's bench, cursing Deschamps loudly, why use this idiot as the starting central defender!

Perhaps Deschamps really wants to find someone to explain why he chose Give, but I am afraid that no one will listen to his defense at this time.

There is no way to change the reality. The young Monaco central defender has not been cursed by his opponent, but has been hated to the bone by his fans.

The defeat of Monaco is destined to have his shadow. It may take a long time for him to get rid of this curse. For him, this game is a nightmare.

But soon, he was no longer the target of those French curses, because Deschamps turned on the hatred attraction very timely at this time, and became the target of all French attacks. He finally replaced the very sharp breakthrough Roundup He played, but he was replaced by Cisse, who was also playing on the wing.

A complete match-up substitution, I am afraid that even ordinary fans can't understand what effect such a substitution can have?Just for fun?
Seeing Deschamps denying himself one after another and messily changing Monaco's offensive formation, all the French began to curse loudly.

This is not the time to show their elegance, these Frenchmen just want to question Deschamps loudly, what the hell are you thinking!
"Idiot! What the hell are you doing!", this angry cry has replaced the voices singing the Marseillaise, and the French are going crazy.

An idiot central defender has made them almost collapse, and now even the head coach of the team has shown his head, what a fucking fart!

Now no Frenchman is still interested in booing Porto. Their attack targets have all turned to Deschamps, and the French are fighting among themselves.

Not only those Monaco fans roared angrily, but Squillac slapped Deschamps hard after his strong performance after playing.

The appearance of this guy not only made it difficult for McCarthy to cut in and grab the spot, but also when Monaco won the corner kick, he also stepped in in time, and he just rushed in front of Carvalho with a header. Although the ball was thrown, Baia was also taken aback by him.

"If time can go backwards, I really want to tell him that Squillage really shouldn't be on the bench before he finalizes the lineup."

The French host was a little helpless talking about the already impossible hypothesis. Maybe it was true as he said. If Squillage could be on the field, maybe they would not lose so quickly and so badly. At least Squilla Qi will not make so many mistakes like that idiot of Ji Wei.

But the reality can no longer be changed with assumptions, just like the current score, it seems meaningless to discuss those things again.

A Squillage cannot save Monaco, just like the effect of Roundup playing, he is not God, and the role he can play is very limited.

Even if he can make Monaco's offense no longer solely rely on Roten, it is impossible to change the general situation on the field, and the Porto team is still the protagonist.

Mourinho will not let his opponents toss and remain indifferent. He made the decision to substitute just 2 minutes after Roundup came on the field.

Bosingwa's side offensive and defensive tasks have been completed. In view of Ferreira's excessive physical consumption due to marking Giuly, Bosingwa retreated to play the right back.

The Russian Alenichev who replaced him as a midfielder on the right, even at the last moment of the game, Mourinho would not give up the attack.

But the group of Portuguese lunatics on the field, the most obsessed is still the little black-haired guy, he has completely become the focus of the field.

That black-haired kid is the brightest active player on the field, as long as he is there, all the cameras are chasing his figure.

Seeing that kid passing people wantonly on the field, swaying deftly, and accurately sending all kinds of ghostly passes, Mourinho stood on the sidelines and murmured to himself, "Tonight, the whole of Europe will be for Lin That boy Yi is intoxicated, he has turned the decisive battle into his own stage."

Shaking, getting rid of, and passing the ball, when Lin Yi once again used such coherent movements to get Chikos down, he didn't realize it.

The venue of this final has already made him shine throughout Europe, and maybe after a long time, those fans will remember everything he did on this night, crazy, fierce, agile, like a conqueror on the court, he used His feet engraved his name on the trophy.

As Mendes said, a new star is being born, and on such a stage, Lin Yi is opening the curtain of his football life.

This appearance is dazzling enough, but he will become more shining, because there are too many honors waiting for him to conquer. . .
