There is a dream called football

Chapter 117 A Perfect Start
The players were warming up, Mourinho was standing on the sidelines and drenched in the rain, Morais handed over an umbrella, but Mourinho refused.

"This is simply more ideal than ideal."

Mourinho has been looking forward to a heavy rain. If there is no rain, the stadium will be soaked, but it seems that it is unnecessary now.

"Haha, good start."

The Milan players were drenched when they were warming up. Many people were very uncomfortable with this situation.

"After the warm-up, I have to change my jersey." Gattuso chuckled.

Many players put on dry jerseys after warming up, and then prepare for the game.

*****
Lopez is the commentator of the game, and he rarely sees such heavy rain.

"The rain is indeed too heavy, I hope it will not affect the game."

Because if there is water in the stadium, it is very likely that the game will be canceled, or even moved to a third-party stadium for the game, which is of course not a good thing for Porto.

Mourinho was happy at first, but then he was a little worried because the referee was taking the ball.

According to the rules, if the ball fails to bounce, the game must be cancelled, so the referee is testing.

"Don't delay the game."

The referee patted and finally decided that the game would continue as usual, and Mourinho was relieved.

But Ancelotti is still protesting. He feels that this kind of stadium cannot be played, but the decision of the referee team is the final decision.

After the game started, Ancelotti discovered the abnormality of the opponent's formation, because Mourinho sent in this game the high center forward Almeida who rarely played.

This is a bit strange.

"Is it possible that Jose is going to play a long pass? But we Italians are not afraid."

There are many teams in Europe that play long passes, such as Scotland, Norway, and Iceland. These are all "bomber" tactics. If Italy were afraid of these, they would have been unable to play in Europe, but perhaps what Ancelotti himself didn't know was that their goalkeeper was a landlubber.

The reason why Dida was afraid of fighting in the rain was not because of any shadow left in his childhood, but because as a goalkeeper, he jumped up to pick the ball when it was raining, and the rain could easily get into his eyes. He especially hated that feeling.

It's like learning to swim. At the beginning, water gets into your eyes and it hurts, but you gradually get used to it, but Dida obviously can't adapt to this situation, so it's not wrong to say that he is a landlubber.

In the opening 5 minutes, Li Qiao faced Maldini on the wing. Instead of breaking through, he kicked the ball directly at a 45-degree angle.

Almeida went to grab the point, which seemed to be a non-threatening attack, but Dida suddenly seemed to be broken, and suddenly stopped in the middle of the attack, as if he had been tapped.

Ancelotti was also dumbfounded, "What's going on? What are you doing stupidly?"

In this way, Almeida shook his head and headed the ball into the far corner of the goal.

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
"Goooooooooooooooal!"

Lopez started his own celebration like crazy, he can't wait to rush into the court and hug the players.

Mourinho looked very calm on the sidelines, he didn't even show a trace of excitement, he just clenched his fists secretly.

After all, there is only one, and Porto still lacks two, and the premise is that the opponent does not score. If the opponent scores, then an away goal is enough to bring Porto back to its original shape.

Nesta yelled at Dida again, "What's the matter, I thought you could do it, so I let it go."

Dida smiled wryly, "It's raining too much, I didn't see clearly just now."

"Then let me do the high ball, don't attack."

"it is good."

In the re-kick-off, Porto fought fiercely in the midfield. In this game, the Porto midfielders have not changed, but the formation has changed. Li Qiao and Deco are double midfielders, while Maniche and Costinha are double midfielders.

That is to say, the midfielders are divided into two groups, one group is dedicated to defense, while the other group is responsible for offense.

Maniche's sweeping ability is very strong. What Mourinho didn't know was that his move inspired the head coach of the national team. Later, Maniche became a midfielder in the Portuguese national team.

Maniche grabbed the ball and passed it directly into the penalty area to find the striker.

Both McCarthy and Almeida were scrambling for points. Dida's heart sank. If it hadn't rained, he would have rushed out to pick the ball. But in this weather, he always found it difficult to open his eyes. If he could, he really wanted to wear swimming goggles on the field.

Seeing another chance, the Porto fans stood up, and some fans in the front row even took off their raincoats.

In the nick of time, Nesta shook his head and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

"so close."

Ancelotti didn't know what happened to Dida?
Did you get injured while warming up?
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Ancelotti got a reply from the field. Dida just got a little water in his eyes, nothing serious.

Ancelotti is also relieved. As the goalkeeper, he still trusts Dida very much. The Brazilian's technique on the goal line is awesome.

Milan had fewer offensive opportunities in this game, but Pirlo was still so dangerous when he got the ball.

He gave Inzaghi a straight kick, but the trajectory of the ball rolling on this kind of field is obviously different and more stagnant, so Carvalho took a step forward and broke the ball.

Ancelotti has become more and more aware that there is almost no possibility of such a court playing on the ground.

But if he plays high ball, then Inzaghi is useless, after all, he is unlikely to be used as a center forward.

"Could it be that this is Porto's intentional artificial rainfall?"

There was no one in front to respond, and Seedorf could only take the ball with one kick, but this time he didn't hit a powerful world wave, and he didn't even let Baia touch the ball.

Deco gets the ball.

Almeida raised his hand to ask for the ball, but at the same time he raised his hand, Milan's defender also leaned in. Deco is actually used to passing the ground ball. He kicked McCarthy straight, but the ball stopped after a while.

"Hahaha, cheat yourself." Ancelotti glanced at Mourinho.

Just when Porto was in a daze, Gattuso passed the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot, and the Porto defender was dumbfounded, because the ball passed to Shevchenko's running route like a ghost.

In the middle of Baia's attack, Shevchenko took the first kick and lobbed the ball towards the goal.

The ball passed the top of Baia, and then jumped to the goal. If the ball is scored, then Porto will have to score 4 goals to come back.
