The strongest winger

Chapter 284: Sai Weng Lost His Horse

*******
Facing Adrianse's weakness, Flores told reporters, "No matter what the opponent Porto thinks, in short...our goal in this game is to win, and we have no other extra thoughts, and winning will also be the final result of this game!"

The reporters were very surprised that Flores had such great confidence in this game. You must know that Porto played all substitutes in the league last weekend. It was obviously for the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League.

Can't Flores, the coach, see that this is Adriance's weakness?
But at this time, none of the reporters brought it up, because according to the current development of the plot, no matter what the result is, they are what they intended to see.

They all know that the news of "Porto wins Valencia away and maintains hope of entering the UEFA Champions League knockout round" must be more sensational than "Valencia wins Porto at home".

Coupled with a game full of suspense, it is more eye-catching than a game without suspense.

But the Valencia media are still immersed in Adriance's sugar-coated shells, how can they care so much?

******
The fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage at the Mestalla Stadium was full of seats. Almost the entire stadium was surrounded by Valencia fans wearing white jerseys. Various banners and slogans supporting the team emerged in endlessly.

Among them, the most eye-catching are the Chinese fans wearing white Valencia home team jerseys and holding five-star red flags.

Even the director of the Mestalla Stadium subconsciously took several shots of this stand.

In fact, the main reason is that there are several sweet-looking Chinese female fans in this stand cheering for Ai Luo.

In football matches, in addition to the eye-catching players on the field, the beautiful fans in the stands are also a highlight of the game.

……

……

After Flores won three consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage, he did not pay as much attention to his opponents as before, so before the start of the game, he only slightly told the players to seize the opportunity to attack, and the requirements for other techniques and tactics were not very strict.

Before playing, there was no passionate speech on the psychology of the players.

If it was before this game, maybe he would have said something, but it is different now. Now Flores is a popular young coach in La Liga, and he is also well-known in the whole of Europe. He is only [-] years old this year. With such achievements, how can he think about things outside the game?
It's like a primary school student who just took the first exam and got the first place in the whole class. Do you still expect him to accept everything humbly in the next time?

People... there will always be moments of pride.

******
So, Flores takes a hit!
At four and 10 minutes into the game, Valencia at home was already 0:3 behind Porto at home.

Aiello looked at Ricardo Quaresma, who was celebrating wildly, and shook his head in disappointment. This goal was Quaresma's second goal in this game, and both goals were scored by his signature right-side breakthrough with the outside instep of his right foot.

Similarly, Flores also stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on the Porto players who were celebrating.

He doesn't want to believe that all this is true, there is even a team that can lead the home team Valencia by three goals at the Mestalla Stadium.

It is the fans of the home team who have the same idea as him.

This... is this still the team that won three consecutive Champions League group matches?Is this the same Valencia team that beat Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Camp Nou and the Bernabeu?
No!this is not! ! !
The fans in the stands didn't want to believe it, but the reality gave them a big slap in the face.

This is real!

At this moment, old coach Adrian Se sat on the coaching bench with satisfaction, and he was very excited to be able to rewrite the score to 3:0 before the end of the first half.

But in order to leave an inscrutable image to everyone, he had to sit quietly on the coach's bench.

What's even more interesting is that Adrianse's entire face is full of sadness, as if Porto is three goals behind.

******
"God, is this a little joke you made to your faithful believers? You must tell me that this is not true! This is at our Mestalla Stadium, not the Dragon Stadium! How could we fall behind the visiting team Porto by three goals at home? Impossible!!"

After Hyde saw Quaresma scoring his second goal of the game, he was taken aback.

His guest partner, Barry, took his words immediately, "This must not be true. You must know that we are the leader of La Liga! We are also ranked first in Group H, this is absolutely not true!!!"

The commentators He Wei and Zhan Jun from China also showed incredible expressions.

"Is this team still the Valencia team we are familiar with? The defense is weak and the offense lacks change. Almost the entire first half saw only Aiello and David Villa's performances being relatively normal. The other nine seemed to have not woken up, and their attention was very low!"

That's what Howe said after Valencia conceded a third goal.

Indeed, as He Wei said, except for Aiello and David Villa, no players performed normally. Aimar and Baraja, who did not rotate last weekend, are the burden of this game. They are not active in running and not decisive in defense.

Similarly, the performance of the entire back line was not satisfactory, otherwise Quaresma would not have scored twice.

"It is said that before this game, Valencia's head coach Flores and the team's vice-captain Albelda both showed their confidence in this game when they were interviewed by reporters, while the visiting team Porto was still going through the motions when they were interviewed. Hey...Porto's tactics of showing weakness to Valencia were very successful!"

This is a comment from Jun Jun.

******
After the restart of the second half, Valencia obviously strengthened its offensive, but facing Porto, which was fully defensive in the second half, it can be said that there is no way.

In this game, Porto was not only very efficient when attacking, but also very efficient when defending Aiello. The two defensive players, Bosingwa and Georginho, restricted Aiello very successfully. In the entire first half, Aiello only successfully broke through twice.

In the second half, they took advantage of the number of players to completely limit Ai Luo's space to play. For speed players, without the space to break through, it is tantamount to losing half of their legs.

Although David Villa also worked very hard and was the most normal player in Valencia except for Aiello, he did not help the team to draw the score closer.

As a very versatile striker, the support of the midfield is always indispensable.

In this game, Valencia's always powerful midfielder failed to perform at the previous level, which made Aiello and David Villa stay in an environment of playing more with less for a long time.

But... the efforts of Aiello and David Villa finally paid off in the No.806 minute of the game.

At that time, Georginho, who was defending Ai Luo, made a mistake with the ball. Ai Luo, who was following behind, poked the ball very alertly to the feet of Aimar who wanted to return to the defense. The latter reacted quickly and immediately sent the football under his feet to the feet of the unmarked David Villa.

Then David Villa used his personal ability to pass Assongkao and Costa one after another, and passed an inverted triangle pass when he broke through the bottom line.

Ai Luo rushed to the horse, caught the ball near the penalty spot and shot the football into the net.

But this ball can no longer help the team, because there is not much time left.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at one to three.

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

You must know that after the referee blew the end of the game, all the fans of the home team couldn't believe the result. This is in Mestalla!

Porto also defeated the mighty Valencia in an away game when everyone was not optimistic.

Therefore, Porto also feels that the Champions League knockout round is waving to them.

Because as long as they win the next two games, qualifying will no longer be a luxury! !
******
At the post-match press conference, Porto coach Adrianse was very happy to be interviewed by reporters, and secretly laughed at Valencia, "Actually, we have already guessed the result...Because Valencia was very eye-catching at the beginning, and their head coach is also a rookie, so he must not be able to control the team very well, but in this case they still won three consecutive Champions League group matches. !"

After listening to Adriance's post-match press conference, local reporters in Valencia immediately wanted to find someone to hide.

However, Adrianse’s words were not finished yet. He said to the local reporter in Valencia, “It’s fortunate that you were in the fourth round of the group stage when you suffered a defeat. If you underestimated your opponent during the key game, then what greets you will be beyond redemption. Of course...you don’t need to thank me, because I also need the victory of this game to deal with the next game.”

Immediately, Adrianse's remarks caused a burst of laughter from the local reporters in Portugal.

When Flores participated in the routine post-match press conference, he was naturally in a bad mood.

The team can lose, but it can't lose so ugly at home!

One to three, although it doesn't look ugly, but you must know that this score is the result of Porto almost giving up their offense in the second half. If they continue to attack, maybe Valencia at home will not concede three goals.

After all, the reporters on the scene were not blind.

So when facing the reporter, Flores took the initiative to take responsibility for the failure of the game, "As the head coach, I must be responsible for this game. Before this game, I didn't pay attention to the team's mentality, so I played aimlessly in this game and gave the opponent enough opportunities. I know... It's useless to say more. Losing is losing. I don't make any excuses. In the words of Porto coach Adriance, we lost this game at the right time..."

The reporters at the scene originally wanted to sarcasm Flores, but they didn't expect him to take the responsibility for the loss.
