Chapter 170 The Pendulum
In the 20th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain, who had been in a passive position, almost broke Porto's goal.At that time, Mene changed position to the left and tore through Porto's defense line with a kick pass. Ibrahimovic stepped in to form an anti-offside.

The Swedish tower faced Elton and played tricks, facing the goal with a volley shot from the outside of the right foot, and the ball drew a strange arc and fell towards the goal.Fortunately, Elton, who performed bravely, jumped up and hit the ball out of the bottom line with a single palm.

After this ball, Porto was a lot more careful when attacking, and did not dare to press forward. The two full backs also reduced the number of assists.

In the 28th minute, Moutinho gave the ball to Shi Hao on the left. Shi Hao tried to break through Van der Weil but failed. He protected the ball and waited for his teammates to come forward to respond, and then suddenly hit Martinez in the middle to follow up. .Martinez used his speed and strength to forcibly break into the penalty area and shot a diagonal shot with his right foot, which was saved by Sirigu to the bottom line.

A string of good chances without a goal didn't seem to have dampened the enthusiasm of the home fans at all, who were still rooting for their hero.Amid the cheers of the fans, Porto became more and more courageous, threatening Paris Saint-Germain's goals frequently.

In the 33rd minute, Porto got a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt. Shi Hao and Moutinho discussed it, and they stood in front of the ball at the same time.After the run-up, Moutinho feinted and Shi Hao shot directly. His precise shot crossed the wall and hit the left post of the Paris Saint-Germain goal.

Martinez, who was ambushing in the center of the penalty area, ran to the landing point and hit the goal with a powerful header, but it was higher than the crossbar.

In the 43rd minute, Moutinho took a free kick on the right side and dropped it into the penalty area. Matuidi made a header to clear the siege. Lu Qiao volleyed the goal from the right side of the penalty area and was blocked by the Saint-Germain defender. Shi Hao followed up with a supplementary shot Kicking on Sirigu again, Silva, who was in a cold sweat, hurriedly destroyed the ball with his big foot.

Shi Hao was very annoyed by this, it really has been too long since he scored a goal, can't he find the feeling of scoring a goal?He was absolutely sure of this kind of ball before.But just now when he grabbed the spot, he instinctively wanted to pass the ball, but he hesitated for a while. When he shot, he didn't get the right spot, so he kicked Sirigu.

The first half ended 0-0, but the game was not dull, with some good chances from both sides.Relatively speaking, Paris Saint-Germain played more conservatively, with many backcourt inversions.But they are playing away games after all, so it is normal to play conservatively.

In the locker room, the head coaches of both sides are nervously arranging tactics, fighting wits and courage, trying to find out the routines that the opponent may play, and then give the opponent an unexpected routine.

What Pereira arranged was that the entire formation tilted to the left, using Shi Hao's sharp breakthrough to break the situation, Martinez was involved in the front, and J Rodriguez moved to the middle, waiting for an opportunity to shoot long.

The hosts and guests of CCTV Sports Channel are also speculating on the tactical adjustments of the two sides and predicting the situation in the second half.

Duan Wenxuan said: "It is very difficult for Paris Saint-Germain to win at home in Porto, but it is also difficult for Porto to win Paris Saint-Germain. The defensive system that Carlo Ancelotti created for Paris after taking office really captures the essence of Italian chain defense. I think the game is likely to end in a draw."

Wang Tengfei also agreed.Judging from the first half, Paris Saint-Germain, who is dedicated to defense, is capable of holding 1 point.

Shortly after the opening of the second half, Shi Hao broke through again with the ball, broke into the left side of the penalty area along the ribs, and knocked back to J Rodriguez who followed up in the middle. Missing the middle part, the football was slightly higher than the goal beam, wasting Shi Hao's beautiful pass.

But this attack did show that Pereira's tactical intentions worked.

In the 53rd minute, Baling Saint-Germain steals Martinez inside the penalty area, and then throws the ball to Van der Veer. With a feint, Van der Veer shakes away Shi Hao, who has almost zero defensive ability, and picks a pass to find the right flank. Enter Verratti.The talented Italian boy made a straight pass to Ibrahimovic who was plugging in at high speed. After the Swedish tower broke into the 30-meter area of ​​the front field, he sent a precise oblique pass. Volley shot, the football hit Fernando's leg and flew out against the post.Paris Saint-Germain won a corner kick, and the cross from the top was cleared by Danilo.Mene got the ball from the left, then cut inside, and hit the ball low and flat. Thiago Silva shot with his right foot without marking, and even fired an anti-aircraft gun.This season's Ligue [-] champion missed a good opportunity, Shi Hao made a face at him from a distance, and said in Chinese: "Retribution, who told you to shovel me."

Paris Saint-Germain's tactical adjustments are also beginning to take shape.Both Mene and Matuidi moved their positions a little to the right and formed an encirclement with Van der Veer. Once Shi Hao got the ball, they double-teamed from three directions. After being brought down several times during this period, Shi Hao has also learned how to play well, he will play the ball quickly when he gets the ball, and rarely try to cut inside.

And putting so much energy into marking Shi Hao left Paris Saint-Germain with more gaps in their defense.

In the 60th minute, Shi Hao made an oblique pass from the left. Martinez leaned on Sakho and knocked across. J Rodriguez, who was unmarked at the far end, hit a curve ball with his left foot sideways. , but that arc is obviously not big enough to fit into the door.

In the 61st minute, Porto made a steal in the frontcourt. Martinez pressured Sacco to pass the ball hastily. Rodriguez suddenly stepped in and grabbed the ball to Shi Hao who was on the left.

This time, Shi Hao was not surrounded by Mene, Matuidi, and Van der Veer, and even Thiago Silva was a little away from him. Shi Hao faced the attacking Sirigu without any confusion, and made four consecutive moves. The action of stepping on the bicycle for the first time deceived Siligu, then calmly flicked the ball to the left, jumped up to avoid Siligu's hand, chased after him and pushed the empty goal lightly.

"Shi Hao dribbled the ball...he started to step on the bicycle, passed, he passed Sirigu! The goal was scored! In the 61st minute, Porto, who was playing at home, opened the scoring first. The Chinese player who scored the goal, wearing No. 19 Shi Hao!"

Duan Wenxuan was full of admiration: "This is a beautiful goal! Director Wang, guess who I think of when I see this goal?"

Wang Tengfei smiled: "Ronaldo in the Europa League final in 98, right!"

Duan Wenxuan exclaimed excitedly: "Yes! It was Ronaldo's goal, the famous 'pendulum' fake move, continuously shaking while dribbling the ball at high speed, which tricked the Lazio goalkeeper."

Wang Tengfei was not as excited as him: "Doing this kind of movement has high requirements on the strength of muscles and joints. Ronaldo often does these difficult movements at high speeds, which has caused constant injuries after the age of 22. He died prematurely." It started to go downhill. This is a loss for the entire world of football, I hope Shi Hao can use his body more rationally, and don't follow in Ronaldo's footsteps."

Duan Wenxuan nodded and had to admit that he was right. "Now that Porto is leading, Paris Saint-Germain must attack. The game is moving in a direction that is favorable to Porto."
