[Football] King Of Europe

Their midfield organization is very calm. After Costinha did not play unexpectedly, the midfielder is more inclined to attack.It is obviously not a long-term solution to blindly attack against an opponent like Manchester United, but it happens that Manchester United's defense is now a mess.

With the back line stretched, even the offensive players on the front line are quite unable to use their hands and feet.Giggs and Scholes took advantage of their speed to the extreme according to the strategy during the halftime break. They ran all the way and couldn't even see the corners of their clothes. As a result, the linesman kept raising small flags——

offside.

This is Mourinho's gift to Manchester United.

Yes, Manchester United's speed is amazing. If Porto is technically better than Manchester United, then their speed can only bow down. When Scholes and Giggs ran away in anger, they had to catch up. In the back, I will eat the dirt against the wind.However, what if Manchester United's speed cannot be effectively converted?

The specialized technical team dispatched before the game demonstrated their power at this time. After conducting a comprehensive analysis, Mourinho finally settled on the tactic of "creating offside".Even Giggs and Scholes were running all the way, but when they faced the Porto goalkeeper, they might have done nothing.The linesman's small flag was raised like a devil, and this situation has happened a total of six times in the past.

The 1:1 score on the field has not changed for a long time, but Mourinho took the lead in making adjustments.

"At the 63rd minute of the game, Porto made a substitution! Jankauskas replaced Alenichev on the right... This substitution, does it mean that Mourinho intends to strengthen the aerial bombing?"

No wonder the commentator made such a guess. Most of the fans at the scene felt this way. The two players who made substitutions on the sidelines...they were half a head apart in height.

Alenichev is only 1 meters, and even the average height among football players can barely reach, but Lithuanian striker Jan Kauskas is 72 meters!

In terms of height, it is a well-deserved boba!

The traditional style of play of the English is a long pass, but who said that Porto can't dominate the air?

After Jankauskas came on the field, Porto's ability to compete for the ball in the air has been significantly strengthened-height is a big barrier!

"And their midfield is very handy..." the commentator murmured.

Since Jankauskas came on the field, Sebastian changed his passing strategy and started various high balls.Porto had been taking the ground route before, but now it has changed to a different style of play, but it also caught Manchester United by surprise.

In the 68th minute, Sebastian made a diagonal pass from the right, and Alenichev in front leaned over the ball, which was higher than the crossbar.

Mourinho made a gesture on the sidelines, and Porto's rhythm gradually slowed down.

The current score...it is acceptable to keep it until the away game.

Then their defensive line took a hit.

For the adaptation of the Portuguese team, Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously much better than his teammates. For example, after Scholes and Giggs were frequently offside, he took the lead in making changes.While possessing proficient skills, he also possesses amazing speed. After he got the ball, he showed a dazzling extraordinary.

Cristiano knew that speed alone would not work, so he stuck to the ball and began to dribble from his own half.At the beginning, the commentator didn't pay much attention, but when he passed two Porto defenders in a row, the eyes of the audience undoubtedly went to him.

"Costa, Costa, Costa... He passed Costa!"

"Carvalho... oh oh, he's swayed by, swayed by!"

The eyes of the fans widened - Cristiano has entered the penalty area, and he has crossed four defensive players!Carvalho ran after him wildly, but he had no choice but to fight alone!

"Baya... the only one standing in front of his door is Vitor Baia!"

Baia rushed out, and at the same time Cristiano had kicked——

"Oh—hey!"

The ball changed direction midway, and Baia's fingertips touched the ball, changing the trajectory of the flight.

Manchester United's corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Porto players, and the two sides started a new round of see-saw.

Both sides could accept such a result until Porto scored another goal in the 78th minute. After creating an offside trap, they quickly counterattacked. The midfielder Deco made a long pass and directly found McCarthy. The large force has not had time to withdraw.The South African leaped high in the front post to beat Gary Neville and Brown with a lob header.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely detonated.

"Dragon, dragon, dragon!"

"Porto, Porto, Porto!"

The blue and white fans undoubtedly fell into a sea of ​​happiness-they are ahead!

McCarthy, who scored the goal, hugged the ball out of the net, kissed the football and ran around the field-he scored the overtake goal!

Mourinho turned around abruptly, and waved his hands at their fans in the Dragon Stadium, in exchange for the crazy screams of the blue and white fans-they surpassed Manchester United!

Wave after wave of sound sounded, and it didn't stop when the referee blew the whistle again. Such a scene was completely unimaginable before the game, and it was enough for the Porto fans to continue to go crazy——

Real Madrid is too far away, Portuguese Super League is too close, and opponents like Manchester United are in their dreams.

"That's it." Mourinho said to his assistant coach. "Look, how excited our fans are. I said earlier that the opponent we expect in this game is either Monaco or Manchester United. "

In the chairman's box, Da Costa clapped excitedly.He really didn't think about being able to overtake Manchester United at home. For the sake of this goal, Jose's crow's mouth, he didn't care about it!

After taking the lead, Porto changed its strategy and started the rogue's "inverted tactics".They passed the ball back and forth in midfield, Sebastian passed to Deco, Deco kicked back to Maniche, Maniche passed to Sebastian... Circle after circle, to Porto Draw for the center.

"Shameless!" Manchester United fans yelled angrily, "If you have the ability, do it with real swords and guns!"

"We are not shameless, this is what we call maintaining the lead!" Blue and white fans immediately retorted.

On the field, the state of the Porto players is undoubtedly relaxed, while the Manchester United players are about to explode.

It wasn't until the 82nd minute that Scholes launched another speed offensive. This time Porto's defense was too late and Jorge Costa launched a foul tactic. Manchester United won a free kick.

Just as the fans were talking, Manchester United's penalty player walked up to the ball.

The moment he stood still, the audience was in an uproar.

Alex Ferguson, this stubborn old man, what trick did he arrange, at this time, under this situation?

The player standing in front of the ball was impressively wearing the No. [-] jersey.

Manchester United, their penalty player, actually chose a young rookie!

Is the old man determined to push back to Porto at this point?

The fans were puzzled, knowing that Porto's Sebastian has always been known for his set kicks [although most of the fame is in this city...].But never heard of Cristiano Ronaldo being good at it.

The Portuguese put his hands on his hips and spread his feet apart, like a compass nailed to the ground.

Everyone is very curious about what kind of free kick this young player will send.

Surprisingly, he kicked a free kick that looked like a defoliation, but was caught in the arms of Porto goalkeeper Baia.

Manchester United's attack failed again, and they became even more anxious.

Five minutes later, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who created another chance. He broke through Carvalho's defense in the middle, but encountered an interception in front of the penalty area.Cristiano looked forward, and there was one of his teammates there, but that person...he was in a rare hesitation.

That person also looked at him, the anxiety on his face had disappeared, instead it turned into a look of no expectation.Cristiano's anger resurfaced for a while, but at the same time, he thought of the old coach sitting on the sidelines.

This time, the Portuguese rarely made a breakthrough by himself, but chose to pass the ball.

This is a very rare situation. Even Roy Keane in the penalty area was taken aback. He actually received a pass from the number seven in the team?

It was unprecedented!

Whether it is from the relationship between the two or from the character of the opponent, Roy Keane does not think that the opponent will pass to him. In fact, he is ready to wait for this when he recognizes that the person with the ball is Cristiano. The fancy boy breaks through to the penalty area all the way, even though there are many difficulties.

But the ball was given to him!

Roy Keane was stunned for a moment and saw the man in the blue and white jersey rushing up. It was Porto's goalkeeper Baia!

Get past him!

The idea was burning in his mind, and Keane wanted to jump up with the ball, but his momentary ecstasy had serious consequences-Bayer came too fast, his fingers had already passed the ball He's about to press the ball under his body!

——Hook it up, don't let him get the ball!

His mind was filled with this idea, Keane hooked the ball with his feet regardless of Baia's body, he only had eyes on the goal, and only in the open space directly in front of him, as long as he crossed Baia, as long as he took the ball rushed over...

"Wow—"

Keane hooked the ball and rushed towards the goal, but at the same moment, a sharp whistle pierced the sky!

The Irishman had to stop. After turning around, the first thing he saw was the serious expression of the referee.

Baia fell to the ground, curled up into a shrimp, and hugged his waist in pain.

Keane belatedly remembered that during the breakthrough, he seemed to have touched something other than the ball.

The Porto medical team began to play, and the assistant referee stood beside the referee.

Roy Keane, aware of what was likely to happen, turned to the referee and argued in English: "I didn't touch him at all!"

But at this time, the Porto players had already rushed up, and the leader was the captain Jorge Costa. He calmly pointed out the facts: "Oh? Hit the goalkeeper, is it also called doing nothing?"

"He was acting and I didn't touch him at all."

"If Baia's waist is not injured," Costa said, "he has already controlled the ball, there is no reason for you to keep shooting."

Keane wanted to say something more, but at this time, Porto's medical team had already taken out the sports spray and started emergency treatment. After this behavior occurred, the experienced Manchester United captain realized that at the Dragon Stadium, Porto's home court, He's going to take the card.

At the same time the referee announced his penalty - a red card!
