Chapter 187 Injured
After defeating Malaga, Porto was able to focus on the domestic arena for the next period of time and consolidate its leading advantage.

They first defeated Rio Ave 3:1 at home, and then challenged Sporting Lisbon away in the 21st round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon has just hired the former Porto meritorious coach Ferreira as the coach. He knows Porto very well and his tactics are very targeted, but the powerful Porto still defeated the opponent 1:0.

Immediately after returning to the home court, Porto beat Estoril 3:0, scored 9 points in a row, and their morale rose to the extreme.

In these 3 games, Shi Hao scored 2 goal in each game, Martinez contributed [-] goals, J Rodriguez also recovered, and the trident looked unstoppable.

Porto, who played triumphant songs all the way, came to the famous Mediterranean Costa del Sol on March 3 with a relaxed mind to visit the Rose Garden Stadium.

The stadium, which was built in 1935, was established on the grounds of the rose garden on the other side of the Guadalmedina River.There are no roses in the Rose Garden Stadium today, only the crazy shouts of Malaga fans.

Malaga's lineup has not changed much compared to the previous game. Their right back Jesús Gamez came back to replace Sanchez, "Rabbit" Saviola replaced Santa Cruz; and Porto An exact copy of the lineup from the home game against Malaga, with J Rodriguez still on the bench.

Although the entire Porto team was ready to withstand the opponent's onslaught, in fact, after the opening, Malaga did not attack.The situation seems to be gradually being controlled by Porto, and Porto has successfully played its own offensive football.

In just 9 minutes of the opening, Porto made a murderous attempt.Barrera received a pass from Shi Hao at the front of the penalty area in the middle, made a fake shot and then passed the ball to the right. Danilo quickly ran up to respond and shot a high-quality small-angle volley. It's a pity that the football flew off the crossbar.

In the 24th minute, Shi Hao cut inside and handed the ball to Lucho Gonzalez, who was brought down by Antunes.Due to Porto's favorable attack, the referee did not call a penalty, and Lucho Gonzalez volleyed vigorously from the top of the arc, which was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Shi Hao fell to the ground clutching his right ankle when the referee ran over and showed Antunes a yellow card.There were boos from the stands, and Malaga fans thought Shi Hao was diving.

Antunes seemed very excited. He felt that his action was not enough for a yellow card, but the referee couldn't help it. In the end, Captain Wellington pulled him away, otherwise he might have applied for a red card on his own initiative.

The referee looked at Shi Hao again, and seeing that Shi Hao was still clutching his ankle, he motioned for a stretcher to enter the arena.

Pereira was a little nervous, Shi Hao couldn't be hurt at this critical moment.But he still made two-handed preparations and let Izmailov warm up.

Shi Hao was very worried the moment he fell to the ground, because it was so painful that he even had the illusion that his ankle bone was broken.But after lying down for a while, the pain was much less, and he knew that there should be no serious problem, it was just a contusion of the ligament.

Sure enough, after being carried off the court, the team doctor checked him, shook his head and said that the bone was fine.After spraying some painkillers again, he felt much more comfortable.He slowly tried to stand up and stomped his feet. He reckoned that he should not be able to exert force suddenly, but he should be fine if he persisted for a while.

After a short rest, he applied to the fourth referee to play.

Duan Wenxuan, host of CCTV Sports Channel, also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Shi Hao is fine, he is ready to play again."

Although it is already a fact that Shi Hao was temporarily expelled from the national team, so far there has been no news that he will be banned.Moreover, Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi were vaguely regarded as the savior of Chinese football, and the higher-ups did not dare to ban him at will, so they could only beat him with the "temporary expulsion from the team" which can advance or retreat.

Therefore, when explaining Shi Hao's game, Duan Wenxuan didn't have any worries, and said what he had to say.

Today his partner is Wang Tao. Wang Tao took over the topic and said: "Shi Hao's way of playing football relies too much on speed and explosive power. I have mentioned this issue. If he does not face up to this issue and change his style, I am very worried that he will continue to suffer injuries in the future."

This is a bit similar to a crow's mouth. Duan Wenxuan didn't answer, but changed the subject: "It seems that Malaga's desire to win is not strong so far. It doesn't look like they are behind 0:2 in total Judging from the number of threatening shots on both sides, Porto has 2 shots and Malaga only 1. The ball possession rate is 54% for Porto and 46% for Malaga.”

Wang Tao said: "However, Isco played well today. His running position and passing are a bit like a golden boy in Europe. He is not sleepwalking like he was in the last game."

Duan Wenxuan said with a smile: "Fans and friends who often watch La Liga games may be clearer. In fact, this is Isco's true strength. His footwork is very good, and he can pose a huge threat to the opponent when he has the ball. The explosive power is also very good. It is sometimes a little bit independent, but his passing in this game is quite in place."

Shi Hao, who reappeared, didn't show much for a while.Whenever he tries to exert force, his ankle hurts.This bit of pain is actually not particularly severe, but it will somewhat deform his movements.

Moreover, this kind of pain always reminded him of the days when he broke his leg, which cast a shadow over his mind, and he always felt afraid to let go of his hands and feet to kick.Even with a little injury, he could obviously run at a speed of 9 points, but he only dared to use 8 points of strength to run at a speed of 8 points.

Isco observed this and chose him as a breakthrough.

After being passed for the first time, Shi Hao didn't dare to use his strength, and chased slowly for a while.

Two minutes later, Isco tricked Shi Hao with another fake move. Originally, Shi Hao should have been able to gain control of the ball by turning around immediately, because Isco's body is also very thin, and Shi Hao is confident that he will not lose to him. .

But when he turned around, he suddenly had a pain in his ankle, so he slowed down, and finally Isco broke through.

Shi Hao felt a little angry.

In the 30th minute, Malaga took a goal kick and the football went straight to Isco.Shi Hao jumped up and saw that Isco was about to hit the ball with his head, and he was still a little away from Isco, so he simply jumped up and stretched his legs to reach the ball.

His right foot brushed Isco's face and kicked the ball first, and his left knee hit Isco's waist, bringing Isco to the ground.

After Shi Hao stumbled to the ground, he immediately ran to chase the ball, but he heard a whistle.

"Di!"
