There is a dream called football

Chapter 90

Li Qiao was really frightened. This ball overturned his three views. He thought that as a time traveler, he would always be one step ahead in everything.

Improving strength depends on oneself, but at least he knows which team he should go to, and which team will cheat him, but Li Qiao discovered at this time that many things are vague and do not necessarily follow the original history.

Mourinho's heart was bleeding. Even if he was laughed to death at this time, he decided to correct his mistakes.

Substitution!

"Go and call Li Qiao over."

When Morais ran over, Li Qiao immediately took off his substitute vest, wrapped tape around his ankle, and patted his thigh vigorously.

Mourinho put his hands on Li Qiao's shoulders, "Joe, after you go up, attack Bart's side, it's the bald head, you know?"

Bart.

A member of Manchester United's class of 92, he can be regarded as a defensive player, but now that he is older, his position is getting more and more backward.

Guarding Manchester United's left side in this game, Ferguson also used his experience,

Mourinho gestured for a substitution, Li Qiao replaced Mendes, and the formation returned to 442. Mourinho admitted his mistake with practical actions.

*****
"It seems a bit late to adjust now. What Manchester United is best at is defensive counterattack. They have two away goals in their hands." Martin Taylor laughed.

The British feel that their team is sure to win, and the only suspense is how many wins.

"Porto is an upstart in Europe, but compared with the established giants, they are still far behind. This is also a lesson that Manchester United can teach them."

It's not just that Martin Taylor is not optimistic about Porto. Most of the commentators on the scene hold this view. Porto is very strong, but it seems to be too fragile compared with Manchester United.

Ferguson was also relieved, but Ferguson has too much experience, he knows that he still can't take it lightly, there are still many major reversals in the Champions League, didn't his own team reverse Bayern Munich to win the Champions League?
He pointed to Scholes and Keane, "Cheer up, we haven't won yet!"

"And you, Gary."

Neville was far away from Mu Ferguson and couldn't hear anything at all, but Neville, the only remaining member of class 92, was as respectful as if he was in front of Ferguson.

"And you, Brown."

"you."

"you."

……

Ferguson blew it once and felt much more comfortable, so he sat back.

*****
Deco took the ball, Maniche was on the left, and Li Qiao was on the right. He passed the ball a lot more comfortably, and split his foot to Li Qiao's side.

Bart greeted the newcomer Li Qiao with a soccer shovel. This was a veteran's threat to the young man, but what he didn't expect was that this young man was unusual. Li Qiao had no fear, and with a flick of his ankle, he passed.

"Idiot," spat Ferguson.

Bart's movements look fierce. This kind of movement is okay to frighten rookies, but it's a trick to deal with flexible players.

With Li Qiao dribbling the ball, Manchester United's defense line has already converged. Frontal entanglement is not Li Qiao's characteristic, so we must make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Li Qiao looked in the penalty area, and directly kicked a curved ball to find McCarthy.

The South African was tangling with Phil Neville, but goalkeeper Howard got ahead and took the ball off.

The attack failed, but Ferguson saw some clues. The No. 7 who had just been replaced was a bit interesting.

The pass over Bart was quite clever, and the cross in the back was also good.

"Porto really has talent."

*****
Manchester United is a giant, and Manchester United is fighting on the third line, so one of the skills that must be learned is to control the rhythm of the game.

If you can spend 50% of your physical energy to win a game, then never spend 51%. Only in this way can you get good results on all three lines.

With two goals in hand, Manchester United's formation shrinks defensively. Porto is facing a positional battle, and it is Manchester United's position.

Mourinho knows it is difficult, but there is no way, this is everything we have to face now.

Deco made a few straight passes in the middle, but the ball didn't pass. The opponent had too many people in the middle, and Deco lost contact with McCarthy.

Li Qiao has all the strength, but there is nowhere to run, and the opponent's formation fills up half the space.

At this moment, the violent Maniche hit the opponent with a burst shot and went out of the bottom line.

corner kick.

A good opportunity, for the side playing positional warfare, the corner kick is indeed a very good opportunity, which can push all the players up.

With a wave of Mourinho's hand, Jorge Costa and Carvalho also pressed up, leaving the goalkeeper and two full-backs in the half.

Ferguson couldn't sit still again, he stood up, and Porto's set piece was still very strong.

Deco ran to the corner flag for the tee off.

Manchester United is ready to fight, Deco stretches out three fingers, his teammates understand, this means to play in the middle, and the two central defenders are eager to try.

With a curved kick to the middle, Li Qiao was also fighting for position, but was knocked to the ground by Bart.

"A penalty kick."

Li Qiao complained, but no one paid any attention to him. After another look, the ball was hugged by Howard.

The teammates ran back desperately, and no one paid any attention to Li Qiao's complaint about the penalty kick.

Howard took a few shots with the ball and was not in a hurry, because Porto retreated quickly, and it seemed that there were no particularly good opportunities, so he threw the ball on the ground.

Suddenly, a blue figure sprang up from behind and hooked the ball away. Howard pounced forward, missed the space, and watched helplessly as he hit the ball into the goal.

The Dragon Stadium boiled, 1 to 2, Porto pulled back a goal.

Manchester United is complaining, and the one who is most excited is Ferguson. He thinks there is a problem with the ball, and the problem is very big.

The dispute was whether the ball was under Howard's control. The rules stipulate that if the ball is still within the goalkeeper's control, it is illegal for the opposing player to touch the ball.

Ferguson was arguing with the fourth official, and Mourinho walked over. "There is nothing wrong with the ball."

"The ball doesn't exist, your number 7 is a thief."

Howard was very excited, "The ball is obviously still within my control, he fouled."

"You should pay attention to your back." The Porto player teased.

Howard's face was flushed, and he had to admit that he did make a very amateur mistake. In the end, the referee's penalty was that the goal was valid.

Li Qiao is celebrating, Porto is celebrating, 1 to 2 is far from 0 to 2, this goal is not only a goal, but also a shot in the arm.

The deal was done, Ferguson was very upset, but there was nothing he could do, he gestured for Bart to come over, "Keep an eye on that No. 7, he is very creepy."

So far, Ferguson still doesn't know what Porto's No. 7 is called. He felt something was wrong, and said to the assistant beside him: "Find out what the No. 7 is called for me, and what's its origin."
