heir to the red devil

Chapter 513
When De Gea caught Martinez's shot, there was a neat exclamation from the whole Old Trafford stadium.

Jin Taige was also taken aback on the sidelines: "Porto is so fierce today!"

At this time, beside the coaching bench of the visiting team, the Porto coaching staff sighed, and Porto coach Lopetegui slapped regretfully: "If this goal is scored, then the next game will be easier to play."

Lopetegui came to the sidelines, applauded his players, praised the attack just now, and shouted for the players to continue to attack.

Porto coach Lopetegui was the head coach of the Spanish youth team before. He led the team to win the European U2012 Championship in 19 and the European U2013 Championship in 21. The Spanish youth team he created shocked Europe.

In 2014, he was invited by Porto to coach.In the past six months of coaching Porto, he has performed very well. This season, the domestic league and cup competitions are expected to have a double harvest. In the European arena, he is also ambitious and ready to show his ambitions.

Kintag looked at Lopetegui standing not far away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: In the parallel world of later generations, after the 2016 European Cup, Lopetegui replaced Del Bosque as the coach of the Spanish team and won 16 wins. With a record of 4 draws, he became the only undefeated head coach in Spanish history.But before the 2018 World Cup, he unexpectedly announced that he would join Real Madrid after the World Cup and become the new coach of the Galaxy Battleship.This incident made the Spanish Football Association very dissatisfied and decisively dismissed Lopetegui before the start of the World Cup.In the end, Lopetegui only stayed in Real Madrid for 140 days, and finally dismissed get out of class dismal.

Kintegger knows Lopetegui very well. He has unique features in the cultivation of young players, and he is also very handy in the use of skilled players. This is his biggest feature.Take the current Porto team as an example. They have a strong technical offensive line and strong attack power.And this sudden attack at the beginning made Manchester United realize how powerful Porto is.

Captain Vidic on the field greeted the defensive players: "Guys, cheer up! This is the Champions League knockout match, the opponent is not easy to mess with, don't underestimate the enemy!"

Mahrez, who was easily broken by his opponent just now, waved his hand and apologized for his mistake just now.

The game continues.

In this game, Porto's two wing attacks were very active, especially the right attack.Just now Danilo's dribbling assist caused Manchester United a lot of trouble, and right midfielder Torres is also an excellent dribbling player, not to mention right forward Quaresma, dribbling is his greatest skill Advantage.

Therefore, after the opening, except for Danilo's attack at the beginning, Porto's several attacks were initiated from the right. For a while, Manchester United's left defense was under great pressure.Alonso, who has always liked to attack, also stayed at the back today, and even Mahrez retreated frequently to help defend.

20 minutes into the game, Porto actually had the advantage on the scene. They played against Manchester United at Old Trafford, looking a little embarrassed.

At this time, several diehard Manchester United fans in the stands were complaining: "What are the tigers doing? How could the team play like this with the opponent?"

Fatty Rodney glared at the two of them: "The game has just begun, so why worry!"

Cook, on the other hand, observed the situation on the field: "Although we were under pressure, the defensive formation was not chaotic, and although Porto's offense was sharp, there were no real threatening opportunities. Maybe the Tigers are setting up a game... ..."

The old fan Cook was really right. The reason why Manchester United played very conservatively at the beginning of the game was because of Kim Tag's tactical arrangements.In the locker room before, Kintag told the Manchester United players: "Don't rush to attack at the beginning of this game. Porto's offensive power is good, and they are very good at attacking in the league, so you hold the opening stage first and wait for Porto's wave. The attack is over, the momentum has weakened, let's start the counterattack again!"

The players received Kintag's instructions, and they all strictly followed them, firmly resisting the opponent's opening attack.Especially the defensive players, Alonso and Rafael also stayed behind and stopped rushing forward; Vidic and Smalling always kept a suitable distance, and the two stood in front of De Gea, doing a good job at the end A line of defense; and the ubiquitous Kanter is Manchester United's biggest defensive support.

After playing more than 20 minutes in the first half, Porto still had nothing to gain.

Vidic broke the ball and drove up the field with a big foot, and Manchester United organized in the midfield.

At this time, taking advantage of the gap, Smalling said to Vidic: "The boss told us to pay attention to the two full-backs. I think Danilo is really good. They are also Brazilians. He is one year younger than Rafael." , and both offensive and defensive, the future is boundless."

Vidic nodded: "Porto, after all, is a Portuguese super giant, and there are still many good players in their team."

Smalling looked at the other side again: "But their left back Sandro didn't perform well, and he looked mediocre."

Vidic reminded him: "Since the boss told us that these two full-backs are very strong, then they must have something special, and we should not take it lightly."

Although Vidic said so in his mouth, he also felt a little disapproving in his heart.

Before the game, Kintag specifically told the players that in addition to paying special attention to the opposing center Martinez, the opposing midfielder Casemiro is very strong. Apart from them, Porto's two full-backs are definitely Europe's top configuration, their assist ability is extremely strong, everyone must pay more attention.

At the beginning of the game, Porto's right back Danilo almost broke Manchester United's goal with a wonderful breakthrough. In the next 20 minutes, Danilo was also very active on the right, threatening Manchester United's goal repeatedly. The back line, coupled with the cooperation of Quaresma and Torres in the frontcourt, Porto's right wing is playing well.

Compared with the right side, Porto's left side is much quieter. Their right forward Brahimi is a fellow of Mahrez and an Algerian. He has strong dribbling ability and fast speed, but because of this For a while, Porto's possession of the ball was almost all on the left, so he didn't play well.

Seeing the wonderful play on the left, Brahimi was a little anxious, and he looked back at Sandro behind him.At this time Sandro was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other, everything was silent.

At this time, the game has reached the 30th minute. The players of both sides seem to have entered a period of burnout, and the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game has also slowed down. At this time, the head coaches of both sides are all ready to make tactical adjustments...
