Chapter 186 Attack on Porto
Porto entered the break with a one-goal advantage.

In the locker room, some players felt that they had the chance to win, and they had relaxed smiles on their faces.There are also some players, such as Martinez, who feel frustrated because they wasted too many opportunities, and their faces look ugly.

"A one-goal lead is the most unsafe score in the world before the end of the game," Pereira said. "You think I'm satisfied? You think Malaga just throw in the towel? Hey, I don't. look."

Seeing that the players were concentrating, Pereira arranged the tactics for the second half.

"Sylvester, Hao, I need you to move forward and be more threatening to their goal." Pereira looked at Martinez with his head drooping again, "Jack, don't worry, score a goal!" There will always be chances. In the second half, you pull out a little bit and pay attention to creating gaps for the two of them."

"Cheer up, guys," Pereira clapped his hands. "We're a big team, but we haven't made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in years. It doesn't look like a big team. Don't think about the next one." In the away game, let us be right here, at the Dragon Stadium, and directly win the ticket to the top 8!"

Pereira's rhetoric is not without purpose.The performance of the two sides in the first half was indeed quite different. The shooting ratio reached 13:3, and the shooting ratio was 8:1. Malaga had no decent chances at all.

If Martinez had a better ability to seize opportunities, the current score would be 2:0 or 3:0.

For a resilient team like Malaga, it is necessary to take advantage of his illness and take his life.If you don't take advantage of Malaga's poor state and take advantage of the home court advantage to get more goal difference in one go, when you go to the Rose Garden Stadium, I'm afraid there will be another change.

After the opening of the second half, Porto's players found that their opponents almost completely retreated into the penalty area.But once Porto takes possession of the ball and enters an area close to the penalty area, it will be very tenaciously intercepted.

Faced with such an iron barrel formation, Porto has no good way.Going on the ground will definitely not work. If you go in the air, Martinez is 1 meters tall and can still win headers; Shi Hao and Barrera are not enough.

Several times, the captain Lucho Gonzalez, who is 1 meters tall, rushed into the penalty area to act as a second striker to grab the ball, but this is not a long-term solution.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Porto began to try long shots again.But Shi Hao, Izmailov and J Rodriguez have the best long-range shots in the team, but the latter two are not on the court at this time.

There was a stalemate for ten minutes in the second half, and Porto didn't get a good chance. Although there were shots, it was only quantity but not quality.

Seeing that the team couldn't break through the dense defense, Pereira couldn't sit still, so he could only call Izmailov to warm up.As for Ronaldo, it is true that he has been tired recently and his condition is not good. Pereira does not intend to put his hopes on him.

But the ensuing scene made Pereira call Izmailov back again.

In the 57th minute, Shi Hao dribbled the ball from the right again and broke through Antunes' defense.At a place parallel to the penalty area line, Shi Hao suddenly dribbled the ball and cut in. Facing Itura who was filling in, Shi Hao made a false shot and continued to cut in, but suddenly changed his line and broke through to the bottom line.

This fake move was too realistic, Antunes, who came after Shi Hao, made a big mistake, collided with Itura, and the two fell to the ground almost at the same time.

How could Shi Hao miss such an excellent opportunity!He accelerated again and rushed towards the small penalty area.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wellington left Martinez and rushed towards Shi Hao.Taking advantage of the gap between Wellington running away and Tulalang not yet in place, Shi Hao quickly handed the football to Martinez.

Martinez wanted to hit the goal directly, but Demichelis had already circled to his side to block the angle of his shot.At this time, someone shouted from behind, and Martinez had an idea, and spread his legs apart.Moutinho, who was at the back point, rushed to the ball, flicked the ball lightly to avoid Sanchez's press, and calmly shot a low shot.Caballero missed the save and Porto led by two goals!
"Shi Hao passed the ball, Martinez missed it! Moutinho shot! The goal is scored, 2:0, Porto leads the opponent at home! The biggest contributor to this goal is Shi Hao, his continuous breakthrough on the wing The back pass led to the goal," Duan Wenxuan said, "but Martinez also played a role, and he missed that shot really cleverly."

Liu Jiayuan said: "Whether it is from the performance on the field or from the statistics, Shi Hao has completely surpassed the European golden boy Isco in this game. One pass and one shot, hehe, he can come up with such a great performance in the Champions League." With his performance, Shi Hao will definitely be looted by various giants at the end of the season."

Duan Wenxuan usually pays more attention to various transfer gossips: "It is said that Paris Saint-Germain has reached a preliminary agreement with Shi Hao personally. Maybe next season we will see Shi Hao represent Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League."

Liu Jiayuan nodded and said: "Although Porto can be regarded as a giant, in the atmosphere of modern football, there is already an irreparable gap with other mainstream European giants. If Shi Hao wants to achieve something, he still has to go to the five major leagues to prove himself. Also Only in a team of Paris Saint-Germain's level can he have the possibility of winning the Champions League trophy, and it should be impossible in Porto. The Triple Crown in 2004 has exhausted Porto's luck for 20 years. "Maybe It was because the situation on the court was too obvious, and Liu Jiayuan explained it very easily, and at the end he even made a joke.

Porto, with two goals in hand, began to slow down and focus more on the defensive end.What they have to do now is not to continue to expand their lead, but to prevent their opponents from scoring away goals.

In terms of European experience in recent years, Porto is much richer than Malaga and has done a good job in controlling the rhythm of the game. Malaga can only be led by the nose.

And the new European golden boy Isco did seem a bit lost in this game, and was at a complete disadvantage in comparison with Shi Hao.

Porto didn't have a tight mark on him, at least not like Malaga's mark on Shi Hao, but he always seemed hesitant when taking the ball, dribbling too much without forming an effective breakthrough, and he never showed convincing performance .

I believe that if the Turin Sports News selects the Ballon d'Or after this game, he will definitely lose the title.

In the 70th minute of the game, Porto had another good chance.Shi Hao took the ball in the midfield, directly cut inside and passed Isco (really not intentionally), took a few steps forward, avoided Tulalang's upper grab with a beautiful Marseille maneuver, and then went straight to the The pass is hung into the penalty area.

The football arced over Wellington's head, passed between Demichelis and Sanchez, and landed precisely in front of Martinez.As soon as Martinez received the ball, he went straight to the point.But in the face of Caballero who attacked, Martinez was not calm enough, and he shot a low shot directly to Caballero's chest.When he wanted to go up and shoot again, the football had been destroyed by Sanchez's big foot.

After the football went out of bounds, Pereira replaced Shi Hao with Izmailov.Next, the two sides have adjusted their personnel, and Porto also got some good opportunities, but they have not been able to rewrite the score. They will set foot on the Rose Garden Stadium with a 2:0 advantage.
