[football] walk side by side

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the score still didn't change at all.

What is Mourinho trying to do?Defensive counterattack?Or use the offense to consume the physical strength of the Manchester United players, and then take the opportunity to counterattack when the physical strength of the Manchester United players is almost exhausted?But according to Manchester United's current offensive situation, even if Porto is purely defending, it still consumes a lot of physical energy. In addition, Porto will use the opportunity of stealing the ball to make a quick counterattack from time to time. In this way, physical energy consumption Only bigger.

Ferguson is also a little hesitant at the moment. The situation of being unable to attack for a long time will often make the offensive team feel irritable, but Ferguson believes in his disciples. Manchester United has always been a team that is so calm that it makes opponents despair. Defensively kill Manchester United's fighting spirit, and it will only be Mourinho himself who will be disappointed in the end.

Having said that, Ferguson still couldn't feel at ease. He stared at the court without blinking, trying to find the place he had overlooked.

Porto players are already desperate.

He tried his best to defend, and also tried his best to seize every opportunity to counterattack.Although Porto under Mourinho has always focused on offense in the game, but at this time they played a defensive counterattack, which is equally good, and there will be shots that threaten Manchester United's goal from time to time.

If Manchester United always insist on attacking, then no one can guarantee whether Porto will have a counterattack and score the goal, but if they defend, Porto will have to attack instead, because they are the ones who are anxious now.But just relying on the advantage of an away goal, is it really safe?

Ferguson hesitated again and again, raised his hand several times, intending to make Manchester United turn from offense to defense as a whole, and put it away several times.

And he hesitated for more than half an hour.

In the 88th minute of the game, there were still 2 minutes before the end of the whole game, and the score on the field was still 1-0.

The Manchester United fans in the stands have already begun to think about how to celebrate their successful advancement to the round of [-], while the Porto fans closed their hands, secretly praying for a lore.

Mourinho sat calmly in his seat, with no sadness or joy on his face.

Ferguson is still staring at the field. He can't let go of his heart for a moment until the game is over. Even now, Ferguson himself is wondering if he is thinking wrong, or Mourinho really just wants to get a defensive counterattack. Goals or something?

In the 89th minute of the game, Van Nistelrooy's header hit the goal frame and was held in Baia's arms.

Then at this moment, Ferguson noticed that Cyril, who was standing on the front midfielder, suddenly looked back.

After the match between Antas and Manchester United, Cyril's position changed back to the usual attacking midfielder, who was mainly responsible for offense. From Porto's switch to defensive counterattack, Porto's offense was Cyril, Del Rey, McCarthy And Jan Kauskas is in charge.

Front midfielder...offensive...defensive counterattack?

Ferguson was stunned, wait!

He finally realized what was wrong.

That's right, since AC Milan's delaying organization tactics in the UEFA Champions League last season, many teams have chosen midfielders in the midfield position, even Porto is no exception. For Porto, which often attacks , The core of their midfield is always Deco.

But the defensive counterattack is different!

The reason for choosing to delay the defense when attacking is because the defense of the midfielder can not only strengthen the interception ability of the midfielder, but also prevent the core of the midfielder from being frozen by the opponent, affecting the overall offense, but at this moment Porto is playing a defensive counterattack!

Compared with offense, defensive counterattacks will pay more attention to speed, and at this time, the most suitable position for the core of the midfield is... the front midfielder!

But from the beginning of the second half of the game to the present, the Porto players have always preferred Deco after getting the ball. That is to say, they still give the ball to Deco first.

But doesn't Mourinho really know the advantage of the front midfielder organization in defensive counterattacks?

At this time, Baia had already placed the ball squarely in front of him, and drove out with his big foot.

Kick-off is not Baier's advantage. According to the past, Baier's choice should be to pass the ball to Carvalho in front of him, and then move forward quickly.But at this moment, because of this attempted attack, some Manchester United players are scattered in Porto's half, so there is bound to be a risk of conceding a goal if they advance like this.

Therefore, Baia did not pass the ball to the defenders closest to him, but kicked the ball high, and the ball directly found Cyril in the midfielder position.

Cyril did not send back.

He also doesn't need to pass back.

Indeed, before they handed the ball to Deco to handle, but at this moment, there is only one person in Porto's midfield core, and that is Cyril who is in the midfielder position!

It was handed over to Deco before, largely because they couldn't find a good opportunity, or in other words, the opportunities they saw were not enough for Porto to take a gamble, but now——

As the game drew closer and closer to the end, the Manchester United players did not relax because of this, but became more vigilant. As they expected, there was a different change in Porto, and the ball was sent to Cyril. Come and move the ball forward.

Of course, the Manchester United players would not be indifferent to this obvious change. At this critical moment when the game was about to end, Keane ignored Ferguson telling him to try not to get entangled with Cyril. He and O'Shea looked at each other. The two people greeted them directly.

It's now!

Cyril looked at the Manchester United half in front of him, raising his foot was a 30-meter-long through ball!

The Manchester United players quickly made targeted adjustments because they were wary of Porto's changes, but what Cyril was waiting for was the fleeting loopholes that showed up at the moment of Manchester United's simultaneous adjustments!

If the Manchester United players keep the original running position unchanged, the ball may not be able to penetrate the defense, because Cyril's through ball is aimed at the loopholes in Manchester United's changes!

This precise and fast through pass passed through the gap between Keane and O'Shea, and also passed Gary Neville and Ferdinand who stepped up to fill up. By the time the Manchester United players reacted, the ball had passed from them rolled over at his feet!

"Cyril Slade!! Beautiful through ball!! Great opportunity!" The commentator on Porto TV shouted immediately.

At the same time, a Porto player that no one expected appeared at the place where Cyril passed the ball. Costinia, who successfully stopped the ball, jumped up with the ball and dodged Sylvester's sliding tackle. Swinging the foot is a powerful shot!

As the ball entered the net, Mourinho no longer had a straight face. He jumped up from the coach's bench and waved his fist fiercely in the air. A smile, not gentle, but a condescending smile.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The lore! Cyril Slade assists, Costinha shoots, Porto level the score, now the total score of the two legs is 3-2, Porto leads Manchester United again! And now the end of the game is not far away It's 1 minute!! Unbelievable, unbelievable! Porto knocked out European giants Manchester United at Old Trafford! They will advance to the last [-] against Lyon in Ligue [-]!"

At this moment, the Porto fans, whose numbers were far smaller than the Manchester United fans, took advantage of the momentum for the first time, and thunderous cheers erupted one after another in the visiting team stands.

"Cyrillic!"

Hearing someone call his name, Cyril turned his head subconsciously, and saw Costinia running towards him at a glance. Cyril, who knew exactly what the other party wanted to do, made a decisive decision and took the initiative to pounce (knock) Costinia down Ah, the Porto players thought for a while, thinking that the two little friends wanted to play Arhats, and jumped on it happily.

Cyril slipped out calmly before everyone rushed forward one by one.

Under the background that Costinha was crushed half to death by the Porto players, Cyril calmly patted the grass clippings on the jersey and shorts, and ran straight to the visiting team fans' stands.

Facts have proved that Cyril is not as calm as he appears on the surface—because the Porto midfielder, who has always relied on his maturity and calmness, made a celebration that he regretted afterward. He raised his hand and compared it with a smile. a "V".

It wasn't until the referee came over to urge the Porto players not to delay stoppage time that the players returned to their positions one after another.

Although the Manchester United players did not lose confidence because of this lore, in the last 5 minutes of stoppage time, the Porto players still relied on their will to tenaciously defend the goal.

Until the end of the game, Cyril didn't look at Cristiano again.

Cyril is also a player himself, so he can fully understand what Cristiano feels at this moment.If it was Cyril himself who lost in such an important game, he would only want to find a quiet place by himself.

comfort?What the hell is that?

Because of this, Cyril simply avoided the possibility of making eye contact with Cristiano.

After returning to the locker room, everyone began to pack their bags and prepare to leave Old Trafford. The celebrations of the Porto players were at the end, because everyone knew that the Champions League is not over yet, and now is not the time to celebrate.

Just when everyone had changed into clean clothes, put on Porto's blue and white coats, and packed almost everything, there was a knock on the door outside.

This sudden voice stunned everyone.

Generally speaking, even if there are people who want to change their jerseys, they should come here to change them from the very beginning. Now that Porto is almost sorted out, why do people still come?

When the door of the locker room opened, everyone was stunned.

Because at this moment, appearing in front of everyone, it is the head coach of Manchester United-Alex Ferguson.

Just when everyone was bewildered, Ferguson spoke first. The famous Scottish marshal glanced over everyone in Porto, and then landed on Mourinho.

"Congratulations." Ferguson said to Mourinho with a smile, sincerely: "It's a pity that I never buy people a drink after a loss, otherwise we can go to a nearby bar for a drink."

"It's a pity," Mourinho also laughed. This is a very peaceful smile. Although the media can't wait to press all the words such as cruelty and arrogance on him, they are familiar with Mourinho in life. Everyone knows that outside of football, Mourinho is actually a restrained and gentle person.

But at this moment they are still in the locker room, so Mourinho's language is not very gentle at this time, and it can even be said to be tit-for-tat: "I am afraid that for a long time, we will not have any chances." Let's drink together."
