Chapter 193 Away Goal
This game, which has received a lot of attention, seemed extremely dull in the opening stage.Both sides played cautiously and maintained their formation. Most of the passes were quite satisfactory, and there were very few passes behind the ball. If the opportunity was not good, they would rather return the ball to control the ball than give the ball to the opponent.

In such a critical battle, no one wants to be the one to concede the ball first, and would rather wait slowly for the opponent to reveal its flaws.This also happens to coincide with the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in "first be invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious".So to say that the stadium is like a battlefield is not just talk.

The first 10 minutes of the game were extremely dull. Both sides had an outrageous shot, and the neutral fans watched drowsily.

Duan Wenxuan was also very speechless in his explanation: "These two teams are famous for being young and energetic, and they are both used to offensive football. But today's game was indeed played too conservatively, but it is understandable, after all, it is such an important The mentality of the players and coaches cannot be unaffected."

"Shi Hao took the ball, and Sven Bender stepped forward to press for it. Today Bender was marking Shi Hao very closely! Shi Hao made a breakthrough, and he wanted to take it into the penalty area! Sven Bender tackled the ball, the ball should be a foul, right? The referee blew the whistle, let’s see how it is judged. A free kick was given to Porto, and Bender received the first yellow card of the game! How to say this ball, Dortmund’s defensive formation is not messed up, and Bender’s tackle seems to be It's kind of unnecessary."

Bender had expected to receive a yellow card, but he had no choice but to do it.The commentators in China don't know how much Dortmund attaches importance to Shi Hao.

Although Shi Hao was suspended due to a red card in the last game, it is impossible for Dortmund to ignore him, a terrifying teenager who has played 37 times for Porto this season, scored 28 goals and assisted 27 times.

He may not be as efficient as Martinez in scoring, and he is not as impactful as Martinez in front of the goal; he is at most on par with J Rodriguez in terms of ball organization and final pass, and he is at most slightly worse in dribbling. Better than J Rodriguez.

But he is almost omnipotent in the frontcourt. He can take the ball, break through, pass, and shoot. This is very scary, because it is difficult to predict his behavior. A wonderful pass; you thought he was going to seek cooperation, but he chose to break through by himself.

He is one of the most powerful and changing explosive points in Porto's frontcourt. If he can be restrained, although it is impossible to completely cut off Porto's offense, at least half of Porto's firepower will be suppressed.

Shi Hao rolled on the ground for a while before getting up.He was indeed kicked hard and painful just now, it was not intentional.He endured the pain and took the free kick himself, but it missed the goal slightly.

Then the game began to become dull again, and it was not until the 16th minute that Dortmund made its first threatening attack.

Gotze ran to the left to cooperate with Royce, and made a low-level ball and an inverted triangle cross near the bottom line.Lewandowski touched the ball before Fernando, but the defense in Porto's penalty area was very dense. He didn't try to break through again, but after protecting the ball, he tried a lob shot at the top of the arc, which was slightly higher than the crossbar .

Shi Hao really wanted to teach Dortmund a lesson, but he was really suffering from being marked by Sven Bender.

Bender is only 23 years old, but he is naturally not an ordinary young player who has been called up by the German national team.

Although he is not fast, nor is he particularly strong, but his physical fitness is so good that it is abnormal.Moreover, he marks people very tightly, steals fiercely, and has excellent anticipation of the ball. He moved ahead of time several times to intercept the ball passed to Shi Hao halfway.

Shi Hao knew that going on like this would not work.But no matter how he moves, even if he is firmly on the edge, Svend will follow him closely and never give him a chance to catch the ball easily.

But in the end, Bender got a yellow card and didn't dare to make any big moves when defending Shi Hao.Shi Hao realized this, and signaled the midfielders Moutinho and Lucho Gonzalez to give him more overhead balls and play more early.As long as he charged up, Bender's speed would definitely not be able to catch up with him, and he did not dare to foul again from behind to avoid getting another yellow card.

The tactics really worked, and Shi Hao finally had a chance to get rid of Bender, but the previous few passes to Shi Hao were not very good. Although Shi Hao could receive the ball, other Dortmund players often came up to fill his position. , so that Shi Hao didn't have much room to display.

In the 25th minute, the opportunity came.Porto lobbed the ball into the penalty area after a breakthrough by J Rodriguez from the left, and was cleared by Santana with a header.Moutinho stopped the ball with his chest and sent an overhead ball to the front of the penalty area on the right. Shi Hao threw Bender off and unloaded the football with his thigh.

The on-site commentator at the West ** Stadium exclaimed: "Stone has the ball in front of the penalty area! He is unmarked!"

After unloading the ball, Shi Hao could have hit the goal directly, but he wanted to make some adjustments, and in the end, Subotic had already rushed up in the blink of an eye.

Shi Hao's right foot that had already been drawn gently knocked the ball to the left rear, and he ran forward.Lucho Gonzalez arrived in time and passed the ball back to Shi Hao who had already run into the penalty area.

Shi Hao kicked again!Dortmund's left-back Schmelzer saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about being in the penalty area. He rushed over from the side with a sliding tackle.Shi Hao's right foot landed, he dunked the ball lightly, and his left foot followed closely to shoot.

Weidenfeller reacted in a timely manner and made quick moves, but this shot was too tricky and hit the inside of the near post and bounced into the net.

At that moment, the boiling West ** stadium suddenly stopped!Although it was only for a moment, [-] fans did lose their voices collectively at this moment!This contrast between extremely noisy and extremely quiet cannot be understood without being on the scene.

"Shi Hao took the ball and didn't shoot at the first time. Subotic came to defend him. Knock back and plug again! Go in! Shi Hao is about to shoot! Good ball, dunk Schmelzer, shoot! The ball is scored Shi Hao took the lead for Porto!" Duan Wenxuan was so excited that the veins on his neck bulged.

Guest commentator Wang Tao couldn't help admiring: "This ball is really pleasing to the eye! The last dunk is really ecstasy! I thought he was going to shoot directly, but he was able to calmly smash the ball and avoid Schmelzer's shot." Sliding shovel and then shooting. The final shot was also quite precise, and Weidenfeller was helpless!"

"Sbender made a mistake on this ball! After all, he has a yellow card in his body. He dare not foul in such a sensitive area. Seeing Shi Hao take the ball in front of him, he dare not make any moves! Dortmund's game is difficult to play now. Well, Porto scored an away goal."

"Yes," Wang Tao quickly continued, "Dortmund must score at least two goals in the remaining time to break through to the top four. The situation is not good for Dortmund!"

"Let's see what Klopp can do. Frankly speaking, I don't think this Porto team has any obvious weaknesses. It is very difficult to deal with. Of course, the reason why a famous coach is a famous coach is because he can do what he can. Let's see Klopp. How will you play your cards!"
