Chapter 72 European Super Cup

Not to mention Boas, even the other Porto players on one side understood that Cyril was afraid of directly colliding with AC Milan in the frontcourt, so he chose a safer midfielder.

Regarding this point, everyone did not mean to look down on Cyril because of this. In the eyes of these big men, the 17-year-old Cyril is still a boy after all. The point where children come to support the scene.

But after getting along for so long, everyone also understands Mourinho's consistent temper. Knowing that if he lets it go like this, Cyril will definitely be in trouble. Hurry up and tell us how we should play in the second half."

At the beginning of Del Rey, everyone also echoed: "Yes, yes, otherwise, sir, tell us again?"

While talking, everyone stared at the two nervously, for fear that Mourinho would be furious in the next second and throw Cyril to the second team.

Cyril smiled bitterly in his heart.

Of course he understands what his teammates mean. He will ask to change positions with Deco because he already has a certain plan in mind, but this plan may not necessarily be successful, because even he himself does not know if he can do it. , instead of saying it out of joy, it is better to wait until it is realized.

Therefore, he could only pretend that he didn't see the winks from everyone, and repeated his request again: "Sir, I want to change places with Deco."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they looked at Mourinho in fear.

There was no expression on Mourinho's face, but in the eyes of everyone, it seemed a little cloudy and uncertain. He pondered for a moment, looked at Cyril, and said lightly: "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Cyril nodded affirmatively, "I'm sure."

To everyone's surprise, Mourinho did not lose his temper because of this. He said calmly, "Then let's try it." His tone was unremarkable.

At the beginning of the second half, AC Milan noticed the change in Porto's position.

Porto's formation was the same as in the first half, the only difference was that Deco, who was originally in the midfielder position, was mentioned in the midfielder position, and Cyril Slade was withdrawn to the midfielder.

This change fell into the eyes of AC Milan players and did not cause any sensation.In their view, this change is a matter of course-in terms of strength, Deco is obviously stronger than Cyril Slade. Hit, retreat the weaker players, and let the stronger Deco stand on top, this is the normal way of forming troops.

Gennaro Gattuso was a little disappointed. In his opinion, this move was a sign of Cyril's weakness. The opponent he was optimistic about was so useless, which made him very depressed.

Only Kaka couldn't help but glanced across the field.

Judging from the situation in the first half, he did not find the slightest expression of anxiety on Cyril's face even after repeated attacks without success. In other words, this is actually a very calm players.

Would such a player really choose to escape because of the setback in the first half of the offense?

Kaka always felt that it was not that simple.

But the game had started again, and there was no time for Kaka to remind his teammates. Even if he explained, no one would believe his words or take them to heart.The majestic Champions League champion AC Milan, when will they be so cautious when they encounter an opponent of Porto's level?

"After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Ancelotti did not make any adjustments to AC Milan's lineup, and Porto seems to have undergone some changes...? Let's see, um, Cyril in the midfielder position -Slade made an exchange with Deco in the midfield position. I have to say, maybe Mourinho did it because he was worried about the psychological frustration of the young players, but didn't he know that it would make the players feel more Are you not trusted by the head coach?"

Amidst the murmurs of the commentator Jason, the game started again.

The format of the second half of the game was no different from that of the first half. Porto still bombed AC Milan repeatedly, but AC Milan's solid defense prevented Porto from getting any good opportunities.

In the 70th minute of the game, McCarthy, who finally got a chance in the penalty area, blasted the goal with a heavy kick, and the ball flew past the door frame and flew out.

With 1 minutes left before the end of the game, Deco launched another attack.

He passed the ball to Delray, who was further ahead, and he also accelerated and cut to the left, trying to respond to Delray.Del Rey, who received the ball, strode forward, withstood the opponent in the collision with Gattuso, and passed the ball back to Cyril, who was inserted behind.

"Huh? When did Cyril Slade come up? It seems that this young player did not lose confidence because of the collision in the first half. Maybe AC ​​needs to pay attention-you know, although this player is young , but there is no lack of ability to rewrite the score at critical moments." The commentator Jason commented in a timely manner, and now he does not look like an AC fan.

The players of AC Milan looked at Cyril cautiously.

Ancelotti has never been a big-hearted person. Even if the opponent is Porto, he has made preparations before the battle. Naturally, he has not forgotten to emphasize the ability of Cyril Slade to his disciples. Although the player's shooting skills are average, he is really sharp in dribbling, and he has repeatedly made sharp and precise passes on the court.

In the first half of the game, Porto had several shot opportunities, all of which had a great relationship with this little guy.

Cyril came from the middle road.

Beside him, on the upper left diagonally is Delray who just passed back to him, on the lower right diagonal is Deco on the front waist, and McCarthy is standing a little further forward.

At the same time, the entire AC Milan defense was intercepting in front of him. Behind him, Gattuso, Pirlo and others began to chase back frantically, forming a vague front and back attack.

The AC Milan players did not all surround Cyril in one breath. Considering the possibility of Cyril passing the ball, Nesta and Cafu stood five or six meters in front of the goal. This distance and position allowed them to Can defend more calmly, whether Cyril is dribbling himself or Del Rey or McCarthy.

The scene in front of me is not unfamiliar. In the first half of the game, Porto's offense started like this. However, often even if Porto gets a good shot, it will be due to the squeeze of the AC Milan players in the final stage. The collision caused the shot to be missed, and the angle deviated.

At this moment, Cyril is close to 20 meters away from AC Milan's goal.

He didn't slow down because with Pirlo and Gattuso still chasing after him at the moment, his stagnation would only allow him to be overtaken.

Costacurta, who arrived first, came up faintly, trying to squeeze Cyril to the sideline. Seeing that Costacurta was about to stick up, Cyril kicked the ball and pushed the ball towards McCarthy.

After the ball was passed, Cyril sprinted diagonally from the upper left. At this time, McCarthy also did not take a few steps with the ball, and was surrounded by Cafu and Nesta. In desperation, he had to take the ball again. The ball is passed to Del Rey.

"AC Milan's defense is really very tight... We can see that several of Porto's scoring points have been blocked by them. It seems that this time Porto's offense will return in vain."

It's not just the commentators who think so, in fact, even the fans in the stands on both sides and the coaches on the benches on both sides almost think so.Ancelotti still maintained a posture of chewing gum with a smile, while Mourinho's face was a little bit uneasy.

Because at this moment, there are only 5 minutes left in the game.

The situation on the court was very bad. Both Cyril and Del Rey on the left were watched by Costacurta and Maldini, and there were Gattuso and Seedorf behind them. Not to mention McCarthy on the road, Cafu and Nesta alone are enough for him.

Del Rey also knew in his heart that this attack was probably going to fail. He was thinking about whether to try it casually, but when he looked up, he saw Cyril waving at him.

This is what it means to ask for the ball.

Del Rey didn't take it seriously, since he didn't have much chance anyway, the ball is the same for everyone, so he just gave it to his teammates for fun. With this mentality, he passed the ball to Cyril again.

At this moment, it was Maldini who was sticking to Cyril's side. At the same time, Costacurta, who had no defensive pressure, also turned around. He leaned forward and knocked the ball directly to Deco with his left heel.

At this time, the crowd hadn't reacted at all, because Deco was still more than 30 meters away from the goal, until Ancelotti saw that Kaka, who had not followed Pirlo and the others back to defend, suddenly chased Deco past!

This strange move made Ancelotti's heart move. Looking at AC Milan's halftime, he immediately reacted!

But at this moment, it was already too late.

Deco, who received the ball, had no intention of passing the ball at all. He raised his foot and aimed at the goal, which was a very powerful midfield lob!

In the past, it was impossible for this kind of long-distance lob shot to break through AC Milan's defense line, but at this moment, most of AC Milan's defense line was attracted by Cyril and Delray on the left, and the entire right Relatively speaking, it was empty immediately!

This is a great lob opportunity!

Although Kaka, who has been secretly feeling something wrong, has tried his best to run towards Deco, but Kaka's speed is fast, but the ball flies faster!

The football flew over the players' heads smoothly, drew a rainbow-like arc in the air, and fell steadily into the net.

Dida had no time to react!
