Chapter 76 Porto's Combination Punch

The tug-of-war between Porto and the Celtics is still going on. In addition to the scenes of people turning their backs on their backs, the audience at the scene also felt the boringness of the game. I lost a little interest when I was surfing.

After all, these fans are here to watch the fierce game, not to watch the referee blow the whistle there. In the 40 minutes that have passed in the first half, the three referees have almost become the busiest people on the field. More often you can only see these judges in black.

The harsh whistle always makes the game lose continuity. It's not that the referee has an addiction to blowing something, but the hot confrontation on the field makes him have to use this method to calm down the players of the two teams. He has shown 40 yellow cards in the first 4 minutes.

But this did not alleviate the tense confrontation on the field. Even Deco, who is not used to arguing with the opponent, could not hold back his anger. After being violated by his opponent five or six times in a row, he also broke out. , if it wasn't for his teammates to pull him away, maybe Deco would have beaten that guy.

There is no wonderful shot, nor obsessive cooperation and extraordinary. The most common thing on the field is the strong smell of gunpowder. Physical confrontation has replaced all gorgeous technical moves, and non-stop fouls have become the only ones on the field. The main theme being played.

The two goalkeepers, Baia and Douglas, are completely unemployed, because the football can rarely be hit near the small penalty area to form an effective attack, which makes the goalkeepers of the two teams a decoration, and Baia is in the top 40. Only two saves were made in minutes.

Not many people like to watch this kind of game, even the on-site commentary has lost their enthusiasm, they just repeat what happened on the field mechanically, and they don’t even have the meaning of teasing the two sides, let alone those on TV. The audience who watched the game.

But at such a boring time, the head coaches of the two teams tensed their nerves at the same time. Both Mourinho and O'Neill can smell the danger from such a fierce scene. Who can tell at this time? Scoring a goal will immediately break this balance on the field.

Although Mourinho is still telling his players to try to control the ball at their feet at this time, it is difficult to play a role in connecting the front and back courts without Costinha. Ricardo It is not easy for Costa to complete the defensive task.

After the Porto team lacked a midfielder who could hold the ball, their frontcourt offense seemed very scattered. Only Deco ran back and forth in the frontcourt to organize, Alenichev and Maniche The actual role that can be played has been reduced to the lowest point.

There is no continuity of attack in the midfield. The Porto team can continuously break through the blockade of Greece, Turkey and Italian clubs, relying on the ferocity of the frontcourt to continuously put pressure on the opponent's defense. If one attack fails, it will come again immediately once!
The Porto team defeated the Italian defense with this kind of attack, but now only Deco organizes the attack on the field. This continuous oppression is gone, and it is difficult to have a continuity after a wave of attacks. The offense also lacked a sharp feel.

But the Celtics' offense is not much better. Their two full-backs are more of an attempt to go down the wing, but Valente and Ferreira didn't give them too many kicks. chance, and their 45-degree cross failed to provide any help for Larson and Sutton.

The Celtics' offense can be said to be powerless. The impact of Hartson's absence is very obvious. Without the strong impact of this high point, whether it is Larson or the Celtics who are used to the back row Every player on the field will feel that there is a lack of a three-dimensional effect when attacking.

Larson could only be forced to return to the attacking midfielder position for offensive organization, but Sutton, under the care of Carvalho and Jorge Costa, couldn't find any chance to shoot at all, okay The easy two-foot shot failed to pose any threat.

Although the offense of the Porto team seems a bit scattered, Dalley and Kapushu can still rely on their foot skills to cause some troubles for the Celtics defenders. Generally speaking, the Porto team still occupies a weak position. advantage, although not obvious.

The two teams are at a stalemate under such circumstances. Now Mourinho and O'Neill both hope that someone can stand up to break the deadlock, but the Celtics' midfielder is a bit too late due to defensive reasons. After that, it does not provide much help to the frontcourt offense.

Although O'Neill has stood on the sidelines and loudly reminded his midfielders to try their best to launch sniper steals near the center circle, and then quickly launch a counterattack on the spot, but the pressure put on them by the Porto team made Lennon, Pietro Husband and these people dare not press down easily.

However, the defensive style of the Celtics will always reveal some flaws at certain moments, especially when offensive players like Dalley continue to interfere in front of them, no matter how tight the defense line is, it will be continuously pulled Create a gap.

When O'Neill's loud yells had not yet received a response from the players on the field, the Porto team's frontcourt trio suddenly activated in an instant. With his right rib, he forcibly broke into the restricted area.

Blocking, Agathe, who has been closely guarding Deco, pulled the opponent with his hands, while trying to block Deco's cutting position with his body, but Deco didn't leave him this opportunity, and directly passed the ball with a pick. Dodged Agathe's already stretched out claws.

Deco didn't wait for the football to hit the ground at all, and just volleyed in the air. The football pierced towards the bottom corner of the goal with the whistling sound of the wind. Douglas, who was highly concentrated, became the savior of the Celtics again. Ji jumped sideways and blocked this threatening shot out of the baseline.

But this attack did not end. When Douglas roared loudly at his defenders, Porto's attack had struck again!
Deco quickly took a tactical corner kick when the Celtics were still concentrating in the penalty area. Alenichev's low pass once again caused chaos in the opponent's penalty area. If it wasn't for Mia Erby is alert enough, maybe Kapushu at the front post will seize a good opportunity.

It is a pity that the football kicked with great difficulty did not fall at the feet of the Celtics, but was intercepted by Maniche in the midfielder, and then he quickly passed it to the feet of Deco in the frontcourt. Porto team The continuous combined punches that disappeared for a long time reappeared!
The Porto team's sudden continuous attack disrupted the Celtics' defense. Their third attack was even more ferocious. Even Carvalho, who was in the backcourt, suddenly rushed to the hinterland of the Scots. Alenichev's ferocious header from a cross hit the goal directly.

If it weren't for Douglas's quick reaction in front of the goal, maybe this header would have gone straight into the net, but his one-handed block failed to hit the football out of the danger zone, and the Celtics defenders were also on the defensive. At this time, he was a little flustered, and Bald's big foot clearance failed to kick far.

This erroneous clearance ball was directly intercepted by Deco at the top of the arc in the penalty area, pulling the bow!Deco's rounded legs seemed to be ready for an outside shot, which caused Agat and Lambert to pounce on Deco at the same time, trying to block the shot with their bodies.

But Deco lied to these two poor guys. Instead of volleying, he cleverly rubbed the ball in mid-air with his arch and transferred it to the left side of the goal. Alenichev, who had been emptied by the defender, looked for it. When it was time to shoot, he volleyed with his left foot and slammed it out.

The quick-witted Douglas flew sideways again to block the ball, but this time he did not let the god of luck continue to be with him, and all his attention was attracted by Deco's actions on the perimeter. Celtics defense There was a serious omission.

The most dangerous killer of the Porto team, the Brazilian Dalley, grabbed the first point of the blocked football. He met the ball on the edge of the small penalty area with a sliding tackle, and the moment Dalley hit the goal, he was almost face-to-face. Facing most of the empty goals, he will never miss such a good scoring opportunity.

The swaying net made Douglas, who made continuous saves, lie on the goal line in despair, while Dalley got up from the turf and ran wildly along the baseline. He waved his hands vigorously towards the stands, and greeted the Porto fans Celebrate with yourself.

But Dalley's hands hadn't been stirred for more than a second, and he was crushed down by his teammates swarming behind him, including those guys on the bench. Like everyone else, he pressed the poor Brazilian with emotion.

"Crush this guy to death. When I scored a goal last time, this guy almost broke my ribs." Lin Yi continued to call for more people to press on him, feeling this from the crazy shouts at the scene. The passion after scoring made him even more eager to play in this game.

Mourinho also stood up from the coach's bench at the moment Dalley knocked on the opponent's door, clenched his hands into fists and roared in a low voice.

This goal not only allowed Porto to successfully lead the opponent before the end of the first half, but also made the stone that Mourinho had been pressing in his heart finally landed. The bad feeling of General Chang has gradually dissipated from him.

Going into the dugout with a score of 1:0 was the best result for Porto, but neither Mourinho nor his players noticed that the Celtic team was wearing the number 7 jersey The guy always looked at their backs with cold eyes.

Under the illumination of the lights around the Olympic Stadium, the shiny head of the guy wearing the No. 7 team uniform is more like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath at this moment, faintly flashing with murderous intent.
