Chapter 187 Scary Chelsea

Porto is located in the north of Portugal and was established in 1893. Although Porto is indeed a club with a long history in terms of time, in the early Portuguese league, Porto was actually not famous. In 45 years, it only won two league championships. The real rise began in the late 80s. Porto began to sweep the domestic league and won a total of 29 championships in the country.

But what really makes the world remember Porto was when Mourinho was the head coach of the team. In 2002, Mourinho took over Porto in the middle of the league. In 3, Mourinho led his team to win the league championship and the Champions League, becoming the second team in Europe to win the Europa League and the Champions League for two consecutive years. This was also Mourinho's highlight moment in Porto.

Subsequently, Mourinho left Chelsea, and all the players in the team entered the major European giants, so Porto began to slowly fall silent again. In the first group match of this season's Champions League, Liverpool played away against Porto. In the end, Liverpool retreated from the away game with a 1-goal advantage at the Dragon Stadium.

This is also the first time Mourinho has met his old club in a European arena since he took over Chelsea.

At 10 pm on October 14th, only a few minutes before the start of the second match of the Champions League, the referee was about to blow the whistle near the center circle.

Chelsea sent the lineup they often use in the league at their home court, the difference is that Drogba appeared in the starting lineup.

The starting lineup for Porto is: goalkeeper Helton, the four defenders are Sapnaru, Rolando, Alves, Sissoko, the midfielders are Lucho, Fernando, Meireles, and the forwards are Lisandro, Hulk, Rodriguez.Porto sent a classic 433 formation.

Finally, in the anticipation of the home fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Chelsea, who played at home, got the right to attack first in the guessing side. After the start of the game, Mourinho, who is very familiar with the opponent, arranged for Chelsea to speed up the pace of the game and did not give the opponent any chance to breathe.

From the first minute of the game, Chelsea relied on their strength one level higher than their opponents, suppressing their opponents both defensively and offensively.

Especially Chen Xiao, after a one-game suspension, Chen Xiao returned to Chelsea and showed a strong desire to win from the very beginning of the game. In the 19th minute of the game, after a continuous pass from the right and Thiago, Chen Xiao took the ball and cut into the penalty area. By then, the football was already bouncing in the goal.

1 to 0, Chelsea opened the door to victory.

After taking the lead, Chelsea played more calmly. Although Porto continued to adjust its tactics, it was always led by Chelsea on the scene.

In the 37th minute of the game, Chen Xiao once again found an opportunity for Chelsea to expand their lead. After passing the opponent on the right, Chen Xiao made a very personal cross near the baseline and directly found Didier Drogba who followed up in the middle.

2 to 0, Chelsea, who played at home, expanded their lead. Although the first half of the game is not over yet, the victory of this game has basically been held by Chelsea in their own hands.

A goal in first-half stoppage time then sealed Chelsea's victory.

However, this goal had nothing to do with Chen Xiao. It was Lampard and Thiago who played a wonderful passing ball in the middle. Then Lampard made a kick pass from the front of the penalty area and penetrated Porto's defense line. Finally, Thiago made the final decision and pushed a shot into the net.

3 to 0, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half without waiting until the game restarted.

Mourinho, with three balls in his hand, didn't have any sense of nostalgia at all. During the intermission, he asked the players in the locker room to start the second half before continuing to put pressure on the opponent.

So after the start of the second half, Porto's players found that Chelsea didn't have the slightest intention of retreating because they had already led by three goals. Instead, they increased the intensity of their pressing in the frontcourt.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Chen Xiao received a pass from Makelele in the frontcourt, then passed two people in the middle, and blasted away the goal guarded by Helton again with a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

4-0, Chen Xiao scored twice in his second UEFA Champions League match, bringing his total number of goals in this UEFA Champions League to 3.

Then in the 71st minute of the game, Mourinho chose to let Chen Xiao take a rest and replaced Joe Cole, while Aixing replaced Makelele.

Finally, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the 5-0 score on the big screen also made the home fans very excited and happy. Of course, this score also made the media on the scene truly appreciate the strength of Chelsea this season.

Another game in Group G was a surprise. Mainz challenged Liverpool at Anfield. In the end, neither side scored a goal. The final score of the two sides was 0-0, and the whole game was drowsy.

所以两轮战罢，切尔西以2胜0负积6分排名第一，利物浦1胜1平0负积4分排第二，美因茨0胜1平1负积1分排第三，波尔图则是两战皆负积0分排第四，而且最让人感到恐怖的是切尔西两战进8球0失球的强打的攻守能力让整个欧洲都为之震惊。
