Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 85 Fighting in Porto ([-])
"Oh my god, this goal actually went in..."

The shout of "Goooooooal" that everyone has become accustomed to did not sound. The commentator of the TV broadcast swallowed a big mouthful of saliva before picking himself out of the state of shock and exclaiming while watching the replay:

"The helpless choice of goal, the strange refraction and change of line, what did I see? This kick is even more exciting than Deco's gorgeous long shot. I want to interview Leiria's coach Jose Mourini on the spot Oh.

Mr. Mourinho, if you can see it later, please tell me what gave you such good luck. I believe that all audiences have the same question as me at this moment. If your method works, I will give you the money from the lottery Give you half!
Maybe most people haven't figured out what happened just now, let's watch the replay again, Delray's pass back, Jan Rodriguez hit the goal without making adjustments, the ball hit the center Paltrow's face and changed direction , leaving Porto goalkeeper Paul Santos completely too late to react.

Paltrow abruptly turned his teammate's shot into an assist. His expression seemed to be in pain, and he spit out a white thing. Oh, it should be his tooth. I think the Leiria club should be very happy paid for Paltrow's dentures. "

It was a rare situation on the field where all 22 people were stunned. Porto did not expect to concede a goal in this way, and Leiria did not expect to score in this way. As for Paltrow, until he was hugged by his teammates When he got up, he knew he had scored a goal.

Mourinho and Octavio hugged their heads at the same time. At this moment, the state of mind of the two had an exchange of heaven and hell. Mourinho was still lamenting that there were not enough offensive players in the frontcourt. He felt that Delray It was a huge mistake to fail to stop the ball and pass it to Paltrow. Who knew that it was a mistake in and out, and the two occasional mistakes were positive and negative, and the score was evened.

The still dazed Porto player took the ball, and Deco, who had been regretting the mistake he had just forced, began to plunge even more fiercely into Leiria's half. That can't be blamed on his head.

Deco even took the initiative to press the ball at the feet of Leiria's midfielder. His body is not his strong point, but he still gritted his teeth and fought for every opportunity. Driven by Deco, the other players in Porto's frontcourt The five began to run more aggressively, pressing every Leiria player with the ball in an attempt to make them make more mistakes.

Beaten by such a turbulent wave, Leiria's defense line was like a precarious low dam made of mud, which seemed to collapse in the next minute.Mourinho stared intently at the crowd on the field. He knew that the huge energy that the opponent exploded in the face of adversity may be the source of the pride that the giants have always had.

The turning point came at the end of the first half, when Deco failed to hold back a shovel and brought down Thiago, who was holding the ball with his back. The referee showed a yellow card to the emotional Porto captain without hesitation. .

This made Leiria breathe a sigh of relief. The blue dragon did not stretch out its fangs excessively for the rest of the time, and Yang, Marovic and others were able to control the ball with a little ease. Don't think it's all that easy.

The first half ended quickly, but Mourinho fell into deep thought in the noisy Asantas Stadium. He was recalling the tough battles that Leiria encountered, and wanted to combine the situation on the field he observed and find out from it. Identify factors that may have contributed to your failure.

In the previous matches against Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, as long as Leiria scored a goal, he would always receive a similar counterattack. The rich teams, you can only be crazier than them, fight back pride with pride.

Mourinho knows that he can't motivate his players from the club level, he must stimulate their emotions from the people themselves, courage does not only come from history and background, Leiria's generals need to protect them I am every brother standing beside me.

"Lady Luck is on our side today. Now that you know this fact, you can't let go of the opportunity in front of you. You have all seen that Porto's biggest offensive weapon, their No. [-] captain, Deco, has already eaten it. When it comes to the yellow card, this means that he can no longer participate in the frontcourt pressing as easily as in the first half.

Our strongest lineup is all on the field, even if I want to make adjustments through substitutions, I can't take the risk of getting two wingers at the beginning of the second half.The three defensive midfielders have the most say on this point. I know you worked hard in the first half, so stick to it. We have to wait until Porto has physical problems. "

After listening to Mourinho's words, Leiria's players were silent. Who is not clear about the current situation?Everyone knows that even if they focus all their energy on defense, the team still fails to retreat from the dangerous border. Marciel, the second shooter in the Leiria team, stood up and nodded and said:

"The coach is right. Although I really want to fight hard with Porto on the field with my brothers, I know in my heart that I can make very little contribution on the defensive end. Now I can replace anyone. It breaks the balance on the field, so, I listen to the coach."

……

After the intermission, neither Porto nor Leiria made any substitution adjustments. The original team was still the one who changed sides, but the players who were closer to the center circle found that all the guys in Porto looked bad. Suppressing his anger, he probably suffered a lot of scolding from the head coach in the locker room.

As soon as the whistle sounded in the second half, Porto began to push forward with the whole team, and even the full-backs were pushed close to the center line. Mourinho narrowed his eyes. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect such an aggressive performance from the opponent. arrive.

Deco's position has obviously been reclaimed a lot, and the tasks he undertakes now are more about the coherence and dredging of both ends of the offense and defense, rather than the role of free guerrilla in the opponent's half in the first half, and the reduction of one kick in the frontcourt and through balls , directly made Porto's offensive speed slow down a lot, but at the same time it was more stable.

Portugal's main right back Secretario has now become the explosive point of offense. Porto began to deliberately shift the focus to his right. Candido, who rarely played in the first half, also got more possessions. This suddenly increased the pressure on Leiria's left flank, and Nunovalente felt this most.

Pavlin's frequent penetration also made Tiago feel uncomfortable on the left side of the defense. The opponent's style has changed from being fast and agile to being tall and strong. Anyone will feel uncomfortable. Candido has approached Lai through cooperation many times. Ria's bottom line, his kick cross made goalkeeper Lothar tense all the time, and Pavlin's height is indeed very oppressive.

Mourinho's persistent strategy also played a role. The deeper three midfielders and four defenders almost formed an iron barrel formation, blocking the penalty area line into an airtight, and Porto's single striker Postiga even lost. If there is no running space, as long as you run two tight steps, you can hit the defending defensive player.

The stalemate between the two sides lasted until about 10 minutes. The Porto players who had been besieging Leiria half suddenly made several mistakes in a row, and some cross passes went directly out of the baseline.

Mourinho, who noticed the heavy footsteps of Candido and others, suddenly woke up. He knew that the physical problem he had been emphasizing for the whole team had finally exploded in the Porto team.

Candido's return pass to Deco was not enough ahead of time, and Thiago jumped up and blocked it in the air. Young, who escaped the attack of Deco and Pavlin and saw the emptiness of Porto's backcourt, also kicked the ball. He didn't see how to exert force, but it was sent to Paltrow's head accurately.

The center back of Leiria, who lost a denture but scored a goal, was much smarter than in the first half. As soon as his chest stopped, he stepped on the ball hard, and the center back Andra, who was active and very fierce, grabbed De has already topped his midfielder, and Paltrow is waiting for this.

The ball was completely motionless by him. When Andrade stretched out his foot to poke, Paltrow hit his heel, and then took the opponent's arm like a ballroom dance, and sent Andrade, who had protruded his right leg, directly to the ball. When he went out, his movements were extremely concealed. Everyone stared at his feet, and the small movements of his upper limbs were difficult to detect. The referee would only think that Andrade slipped and almost did the splits.

Leiria's two strikers have developed a tacit understanding in the cooperation of several seasons. Seeing that Paltrow stepped on the ball for the first time instead of looking for someone, Del Rey instantly understood the meaning of the partner, and he rushed to the other side. A central defender Ibarra suddenly flashed to the right and went straight to the space made by Andrade.

Paltrow, who turned around, just glanced at him, and then showed a smug smile. Del Rey was indeed moving in line with his own actions. He didn't do anything extra, just pushed the arch of his right foot slightly, The ball was sent to the defense zone where Jorge Andrade was originally stationed.

Ibarra, who played as a guest central defender, obviously has more than enough speed and insufficient strength. Being half a body behind Del Rey, he can't squeeze the strong Brazilian striker anyway. Seeing that both central defenders lost their positions, goalkeeper Paul Santos panicked. But it was still a little late when he chose to attack. Del Rey had already rushed to the ball, but he failed to quickly suppress the opponent's shooting angle.

The first shooter in the Leiria team showed his true qualities as a fox in the penalty area. He adjusted his step slightly, swung his right foot up and was about to shoot. Lei stepped out of his instep, passed the goalkeeper who couldn't get up from the far end, and easily shot with his arch.

1:2, shortly after Porto's siege failed and showed its flaws, the opponent caught the mistake. The tacit frontcourt cooperation of the two forwards directly penetrated Porto's defense line. Leiria overtook the score in No. 60 in two minutes!
