Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

May 5th, Beijing time, at 19 am.

Lansdowne Road, Dublin, visiting team dressing room.

Jesus is arranging tactics, "Porto will definitely grab the start, they have done this all season. As long as we play according to the defensive tactics arranged during training, we will be able to contain their offense. Jardl."

"Here." Jardel, whose muscles were tense, stood up at once, like a soldier ordered by a general.

Jesus was very satisfied with Jardl's reaction, but he still waved his hand to let Jardl sit down, "You have to keep an eye on Falcao, he is the core of Porto's tactics, he will often retreat to take the ball, you have to follow Get out of the box, close up. If he drops deep enough, he can foul, like you did with Xu in practice."

"Yes, boss."

"Da Silva."

"I'm here."

"You have to stay in the penalty area. Hulk will often move in the penalty area. If Falcao enters the penalty area, you have to pay attention to assisting defense."

Da Silva nodded, and Jesus looked to make a wish again, "You can freely choose the offensive method, but you have to remember, if we are suppressed, don't come back to participate in the defense, nailed to Porto's half."

……

Jesus recounted in detail the tactics he had repeatedly practiced in the past few days, but none of the players thought he was long-winded. Everyone was full of desire for the Europa League championship, and they didn't want to let go of any details.

After arranging the tactics, Jesus gave another passionate speech, "Boys, we have worked so hard all the way here and we are not here for tourism. We eliminated Stuttgart, Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven and Brasil. Plus, each of their teams is not weak, but we are the ones who won in the end. What does this mean? It means that we are the strongest."

"Today our opponent is Porto, the team we have doubled in the league, they have nothing to fear, we can win them twice, we can win them a third time. Let's bring the Europa League trophy back to Lisbon , our fans, our mayor are waiting for us to win."

"Boys, tear 'em up!"

"Roar!"

Encouraged by Jesus, the Benfica players roared and their morale was high.

Wishing was a little surprised, I have to say that Jesus played well today, it seems that he wrote the lyrics in advance...

At the beginning of the game, Porto really pressed forward to start the game as expected by Jesus.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Porto made a killing attempt.

When Porto was attacking, Moutinho's ball was too big, Martins immediately stepped forward to steal the ball, Moutinho was not slow to react, the two faced each other, Martins did not cross, but lost his position .

Moutinho took advantage of the opportunity to distribute the ball to James Rodriguez, who was advancing forward. Ronaldo did not greedy for merit and attracted Matic's defense, and then sent a high-quality direct pass.

Falcao rushed to the horse, and Jardel, who was leaning against him, shot furiously with his feet. Roberto couldn't react in time and didn't make a save. Si broke out in a cold sweat.

Falcao held his head in his hands and ran back with frustration on his face. The Porto fans were ignited by Falcao's shot and jumped up one after another.

Two minutes later, it was Falcao again. He leaned against Jardel with his back on the penalty area line, and then suddenly turned and volleyed. The football was like a shell fired, and the ball was extremely fast.

Roberto concentrated his attention and caught Falcao turning around and volleying. The main reason is that this trick of making a wish is often used in training. Roberto has rich experience in being abused, and he almost saved Falcao's shot.

In the 10th minute, Porto won a direct free kick about 25 meters away from Benfica's goal. Falcao's shot was touched by Roberto's fingertips and flew out of the baseline against the post.

There was another roar of regret from the Porto fans, and then cheers, as they hailed Falcao for a brilliant performance.

But Boas frowned. Falcao is in good condition, which is a good thing, but luck is not so good.

The free kick just now was fast and tricky, but it was thrown by Roberto.Boas was also very helpless, his tactics were undoubtedly successful, and the execution ability of the players was also very good, but no one expected Roberto to explode suddenly.

This little-known goalkeeper seems to be completely unaffected by Gutman's curse and the media. His attention is very focused, and his state is even better than Falcao.

"Concentrate and don't foul in dangerous positions." Roberto pointed to his temple and shouted loudly.

Jadl lowered his head in shame. It was his foul that gave Porto a free kick in such a good position, but he was also powerless. The pressure to defend Falcao alone was too great, even more than the pressure of defending the wish in training. Even bigger.

Da Silva noticed Jardl's expression and walked over to comfort him, "Don't be impatient, I will help you."

Benfica was disrupted by Porto's mad attack and frenzied pressing. After more than ten minutes of the game, there was no decent attack. Wishing stood in the middle circle according to Jesus' instructions. It couldn't help at all. Standing there Do it in a hurry.

Fortunately, Porto's offensive rhythm slowed down in about 10 minutes, and it was impossible for them to maintain such a high-intensity press and attack throughout the game. The Benfica players can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Porto launched a counterattack!

It was Moutinho again, he intercepted the pass from Martins, did not stop the ball, and directly kicked an overhead long pass to Benfica's right, C-Rodriguez unloaded the ball and took advantage of the trend Just wiped out Pereira who stepped forward to press, and then dribbled the ball forward at high speed.

When Da Silva came to defend, C-Rodriguez stepped on two bicycles, swayed Da Silva's center of gravity, swiped his right foot, and cut inside!

C-Rodriguez didn't continue to dribble, and after getting out of the way, he hit the goal with one kick.Instead of kicking a curveball, he kicked a low and flat ball with the front of his instep. The power is not strong, but the ball is very fast and the angle is very tricky.

Roberto was in a brave state, and he got off the ground very quickly, and the ape arm lightly blocked the shot.

"Roberto, it's Roberto again, he's in great form today, and once again denied C-Rodriguez's shot! Uh..." Silva's screaming stopped abruptly, and then Lan Deafening cheers erupted from Stang Road.

After the cheers subsided, Silva said weakly, "Roberto's save did not go far, and Falcao's alert shot helped Porto open the scoring for the first time. 1-0, Porto temporarily leads."

"Falcao also increased his number of goals in the Europa League this season to 17 goals, 1 more than Wish."

Boas shook his fist, and Falcao's luck returned!
