Midfielder

Chapter 65: The annoying Argentine bug

The Dragon Stadium is the Porto team's territory, but the heavy rain that God dropped did not provide them with any protection. Although Lin Yi described the raindrops falling from the sky as the tears of the Italians after the game, the first person to cry was almost Became Porto people themselves.

The current formation of the Porto team is to suppress the opponent offensively, but before their forward pressing policy can be implemented on the court, the opponent has already attacked, and this offensive is very fierce and sophisticated.

Rich experience in European wars made Lazio know what to do in the away game. They were the first to ignite the offensive flames. They were not in the mood to give their opponents a chance to burn. These experienced guys directly inserted the offensive torch into the Porto team's half. field.

Lazio, who took the lead in kicking off the ball, created a crisis in front of Porto's goal with a strong attack from the center. The slippery field did not slow down the Italians, but instead accelerated their attack. .

Chiesa and Lopez played a deft one-two in the center circle. After the kick-off, the two of them directly shook off Deco's attack. Costinha, who came up to replace him, had already done it. He was well prepared to defend his position, but the slippery turf caused him to make a mistake.

His upward attack failed to cut off the football at Lopez's feet, but the Argentinian sent a crotch-piercing through ball to Chiesa, more than 30 meters away from the goal. Carvalho had not had time to prepare for this The mistake was made to cover, but Chiesa was given a chance to take a leisurely shot.

Chiesa lived up to his nickname of "Italian Bomber". His volley was like a guided missile launched from a fighter jet. It was fierce, accurate, powerful and extremely tricky. It was even more deadly on such a rainy day. , the football went directly to the lower left corner of Porto's goal.

If Baea hadn't been highly concentrated at this time, Porto might have faced a 0:1 deficit after the opening 30 seconds. His diving save prevented Chiesa's shot from rewriting the score, but It also made the fans in the Dragon Stadium break into a cold sweat.

When Baia got up from the ground, he was extremely emotional and roared loudly at his central defender. This was not because he cared about the trouble caused by this defensive mistake, but because of this sudden stimulation. He must find a way to vent.

Baia, who was extremely nervous, didn't want to have such an experience again. He could only roar at his teammates. He hoped that these people would cheer up quickly. Just because he could save such a shot once did not mean that he could still save it the second time. .

Costinha could only apologize and wave his hand at Baia, indicating that it was his problem. However, such excitement made the entire Dragon Stadium suffocate. It is no wonder that Baia performed well after saving this shot. So excited.

The subsequent corner kick from Lazio once again tested the Porto people's mental endurance. Fiore's header from the previous point failed to move in the right position. Otherwise, it is likely to pose a threat to the gate guarded by Baia again.

This time it has nothing to do with Costinha's marking, but the mistake this time missed was made by Jorge Costa. It seems that even the captain of the Porto team is nervous. The poor on-the-spot performance of the entire defense makes One cannot help but worry.

The opponent's sudden offensive frenzy caused the Porto team to lose their usual rhythm. Not only the defensive players seemed a bit flustered, but even the midfielder failed to act as a good barrier at this time, allowing the Lazio team to come and go as they pleased. impact.

The attack-versus-attack approach envisaged by Mourinho did not work at all on the field. His team has been pressed hard by the opponent in the half-court. All the Porto fans who watched the game in their seats in the rain, I am also sweating over this precarious situation on the field.

Crazy attack, but this has nothing to do with the Porto team, but those Italians are suppressing the Porto team and beating them hard. In the first three minutes of the game, Lazio had made four consecutive attacks. Although the score did not change, all Porto fans were watching the game with concern.

Not only is Lazio's forward line putting pressure on Porto, but its two full-backs are also pressing forward frequently at this time. The back and forth of Favalli and Pancaro allows Paulo Ferreira and Jorge Costa to Looking extremely embarrassed.

Carvalho and Costinha in the middle must always keep an eye on the movements of Chiesa and Lopez. Even Maniche was forced to return to the midfielder position to help defend at this time, but this also Didn't ease the pressure on Porto.

The most active guy in the first five minutes may be Mourinho's old enemy, the bug from the Pampas. Lopez has made several threatening balls in succession, but Baia's ten fingers Guan has been guarding the Porto team's door.

However, Mourinho has already felt the threat posed by the bug. He even reminded Costinha loudly that he must help Carvalho to target the guy and not let Lopez have too much room to move freely. .

The Argentinian who is always hidden behind the powerful center is like a looming knife, always threatening everyone on the Porto defense. Every touch of the ball will cause Porto's defense to panic.

Lazio's crazy attack continued. They now had the rhythm of the game on the field. Although the slippery field was not very favorable to the players of both sides, the attacking side obviously had to take advantage. Passive defense was more embarrassing at this time.

At this time, Mancini seemed very calm. He sat steadily in the coaching seat and watched his players besieging Porto. On the other side, Mourinho could no longer calm down. He stood on the sidelines in the heavy rain and shouted loudly to remind his players to pay attention at all times.

But such shouting obviously could not reverse Porto's passivity in a short time. Deco and Lin Yi in the front court were forced to retreat to the vicinity of the center circle to participate in the defense, while Dallei and Kapshu were completely useless. They had nothing to gain except running in vain.

There was no way to control the football in the front court. This was the most fatal problem now. Lin Yi and Deco's recovery made the front court lose the organizer. The entire Porto team's formation retreated significantly under the impact of Lazio.

Such a retreat made them lose control of the midfield. The clearances kicked out by the Lazio players were controlled again and again by the Lazio players, and then they were thrown into the attack again. Such repeated attacks like a tide greatly destroyed the Porto team's defense.

The commentator responsible for the live broadcast in the Dragon Stadium also complained at this time, why Mourinho did not listen to others' advice, and had to use the risky formation of three defenders to deal with the Lazio team with such sharp attacks. If this game is lost, the responsibility will be borne by Mourinho!

If there are four people on the back line of the Porto team now, the midfield may not shrink so deep, nor will it be so passive. This is the mistake of the rookie's reckless advance! But they seem to have forgotten that they were cheering for the rookie here a few days ago.

But reality does not allow assumptions. Mourinho has made the choice to attack, so he has no other way except to persist. Maybe he can only pray not to lose the ball too early. As long as he survives Lazio's three-pronged attack at the beginning, maybe Porto can turn the situation around.

However, the Porto players at this time were not in the mood to listen to the exclamations around the stadium. They had to devote all their energy to defense. The waves of Lazio's attack almost drowned them.

Baia shouted Carvalho's name again and again in front of the gate, asking him to keep an eye on those hateful Lazio players. The rain hit these Porto players mercilessly. The game had only been less than 5 minutes, but they looked extremely embarrassed.

Mourinho was still shouting the names of the players on the sidelines, reminding them to pay attention to the defense of the two wingers, but the Lazio players twitched their sharp blades, very fast and very deadly, and they formed an extremely accurate attack on their left side.

Fiore intercepted the ball in the midfield, and he immediately made a standard wing transfer without any hesitation. Favalli and Stankovic's two-on-one cooperation on the wing directly made Paul Ferreira's defense lose his target, and Ferreira could only watch Favalli go away.

It was an attack without any delay. Lin Yi and Deco, who felt the danger in the back defense, had desperately chased back, but their tackles failed to prevent Stankovic's pass from directly tearing open the Porto team's side corridor.

At the moment when Lin Yi made the tackle, he could only see a Lazio player running forward quickly on the Porto side, and he could only helplessly watch this scene unfold in front of him.

Cut inside, this time Favalli did not choose to go directly to the bottom, he wisely chose to cut inside, which made Carvalho have to fill in from the middle. When he was pulled empty from the middle, Favalli's accurate low pass tore open the Porto team's central defense.

The Argentine bug who had scored 8 goals in front of Mourinho opened his mouth again and bit Mourinho hard.

Lopez's perfect forward penetration was like Mourinho's curse, always appearing in the most dangerous areas. Such an attack no longer required him to have superb shooting skills. He only needed to use his arch to knock lightly, and Baia could only raise his hands and surrender.

1:0, just six minutes after the start, Lazio had already captured Porto's base camp, and the entire Dragon Stadium fell into silence.

Even the commentator who was always noisy shut up at this time. Porto, the team they were most proud of, was knocked open by those Italians in just six minutes. Is this the gap between Portugal's strong teams and the top five leagues?

"Damn it!" Lin Yi grabbed a handful of grass and threw it on the ground. He spat on the ground with force, and some grass debris was mixed in his saliva.

Lin Yi was still complaining about why he didn't withdraw earlier to plug this loophole. If he had returned to defense faster just now, maybe he wouldn't have to stand here and watch the score being rewritten. Damn it!

"Lin Yi! Come here!" A roar came from the sidelines, which made Lin Yi look up at the direction where the voice came from. He also saw the uncle with a sullen face, who was pointing at him and roaring loudly. He could only walk over with his head down.

"Attack! You don't need to go back to defend! Push up! Press on their throats! I didn't let you on the field to shrink back to plug the hole! Your mission is to attack! Attack! Do you hear me!" Mourinho talked to Lin Yi with a roar for the first time.

"Go up! Kill them for me! Use your attack! If you dare to return to this half again, I will replace you from the field immediately!" Mourinho pushed Lin Yi back to the field with force, and his finger pointed in only one direction, that is, the Lazio half.

"If I return to the half again, you don't need to replace me, I will break my legs directly! Damn, it's just an attack!" Lin Yi wiped the rain off his face fiercely.

"Give me the ball, use the most direct way, don't care who is behind me, just pass it in a straight line!" Lin Yi bit his lip and said to Deco.

The Lazio people who cheered for the goal did not notice what happened on the sidelines, nor did they see Lin Yi's eyes that were gradually becoming fierce.
