Chapter 190 Entering the Top 8

In the second round of the Champions League quarter-final match between Porto and Malaga, Shi Hao was sent off just 4 minutes into the second half!This is also Porto's 10th red card in the history of the Champions League.

After re-watching the slow motion, Duan Wenxuan sighed and said: "The elbow that Shi Hao swung did hit Isco in the face, but judging from the slow motion, he probably didn't do it on purpose, he just swung his arm normally when running. That’s all, the penalty is up for debate.”

Wang Tao smiled and said: "There was basically no suspense in this game. Malaga had to score more than 3 goals to avoid the fate of being eliminated. But now Porto is 10 against 11, and Malaga has seen it again. On a silver lining, the game should get better as well."

Seeing her son walk off the stage in a daze, Chen Shuxian was a little dumbfounded.She has also watched the game for a year, so she naturally knows what a red card means.She grabbed her husband's arm and asked hesitantly, "Xiaohao should be fine, right?"

Shi Zhonghua was calm and composed: "Every professional player has to go through it, you can't worry about it, don't worry about it."

Chen Shuxian nodded worriedly.

The game will continue and will not stop for the end of a certain player.

Pereira has controlled his emotions and asked central defender Maicon to warm up as soon as possible.He saw Shi Hao walking towards the bench in a daze, so he greeted him, regardless of Shi Hao's sweat, he hugged Shi Hao and said: "It's okay, you've done well enough. Go take a shower and come back to watch the game Bar."

Shi Hao nodded, and went to the locker room without saying anything.

When the ball was dead again, Pereira replaced Barrera with Maicon and formed a formation of 5 defenders. This was determined to defend to the end.He didn't believe that in the last 40 minutes of the game, Malaga could score 3 goals!

Malaga also made adjustments, replacing the mediocre Baptista with Santa Cruz, intending to strengthen the offense.

The game continued, Shi Hao took a quick shower and returned to the sidelines to watch the game with his teammates.

Isco is still active.He first ran to the right to respond and passed a wonderful pass to Saviola, but Saviola's push from 6 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Mangala.

Then in the 78th minute, Isco took a corner kick on the right, Santa Cruz grabbed the front point, a powerful header, the football hit the ground and bounced into the far corner, rewriting the score to 2-1.

Seeing hope, Malaga's offensive became more violent, and it also left Porto with a chance to counterattack. J Rodriguez's wonderful pass made Martinez almost break the goal, but unfortunately the latter missed the empty goal.

Maicon passed an overhead ball from the backcourt. Martinez stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed it into the net. Unfortunately, he was ruled offside first.

As time went on, the situation on the court became more and more tense, and both sides used up the last substitution places.

Pellegrini replaced Saviola and Joaquin, replaced Portillo and Fernandez, to make a last-ditch effort.Pedro replaced the exhausted Fernando with Defour.

But as time passed, the hope of Malaga became more and more bleak, and the fans of the Malaga team in the stands gradually stopped shouting and singing, quietly watching their heroes struggle helplessly on the field with.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Isco, who performed well in the audience, volleyed with his left foot from the outside. He played very powerfully, but was still hugged by Elton.The referee blows his whistle three times, and the game is over!

Porto finally advanced to the top 3 with a total score of 2 to 8!
Shi Hao rushed into the field with other substitute players, and celebrated with the players on the field.At this time, he had temporarily forgotten that he was sent off with a red card, and he just wanted to enjoy the extremely happy moment in front of him!
"Congratulations to Porto, congratulations to Shi Hao, they advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The team that performed better won, and Porto's promotion is well-deserved! It is a pity that Shi Hao will miss the first leg of the quarter-finals." Duan Wenxuan Still chattering.

"Their opponent in the quarter-finals will be Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund, who were not favored in the group stage, broke out of the death group tenaciously. They eliminated the mighty Manchester City and Ajax, and also squeezed Real Madrid into the group. The second position. In the quarter-finals, they eliminated Shakhtar 2:2 away and 3:0 at home. This team must not be underestimated! They will be Porto's strongest opponent on the road to the Champions League!"

Shi Hao couldn't hear this.Even if he heard it, he would just say: "Never mind him, let's talk now when you're happy!"

Shi Hao feels very refreshed now!
After returning to the locker room, the team members were still laughing, Shi Hao couldn't wait to dial Liu Xiyu's number.

As soon as he saw the connection on the other side, he couldn't wait to shout: "Baby, we have advanced! Did you see it!"

There was silence on the other side, and then a middle-aged male voice said in an angry tone, "Who are you calling baby?"

ah?Shi Hao was dumbfounded.At this time, he heard Liu Xiyu's shy and annoyed voice from the opposite side: "Dad, why are you answering my phone indiscriminately!"

"You are my daughter, what can I not listen to!"

"Don't make trouble, give it to me!"

There was a noise, and it took a long time for Liu Xiyu's panting voice to be heard again. Before he could speak, he laughed for a while, and then said coquettishly, "You too, you shouted without hearing clearly."

"I didn't know your dad could answer the phone!" Shi Hao felt his whole body go cold.

"Be careful next time. My dad is strict with me now."

"What should I do?"

"It's okay, I asked him to watch your game with me." Liu Xiyu giggled, like a goblin who came out to seduce people.

Shi Hao felt hot all over. "Is your dad not around?"

"Well, it's gone."

Shi Hao lowered his voice: "I miss you, baby."

"I miss you as well."

"Hey," Shi Hao smirked, "We've advanced, did you see that?"

Liu Xiyu said softly: "Of course I saw it. Congratulations!"

"I remember promising you to watch the Champions League. Are you coming? When we played Dortmund."

"You guys are hosts first and then guests, you can't play at home games." Liu Xiyu had already calculated.

Only then did Shi Hao remember that he was sent off with a red card and would be suspended for one game, so he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. "Then do you want to watch our home game or our away game?"

"Fool," Liu Xiyu's voice became more gentle, "I don't want to watch the game without you."

Shi Hao finally felt better.Martinez next to him has been listening for a long time, making grimaces, sticking out his tongue and staring at his eyes. Shi Hao didn't say to Liu Xiyu: "Hang up first, and I will make arrangements. Remember to get your passport done early .”
