Chapter 183: Facing the Bundesliga Giants (3)
It wasn't until the end of the warm-up and the players walked into the tunnel that the boos at the Allianz Arena gradually subsided. In the player's tunnel, Maniche also put his arm around Lao Lei's shoulder, clasped his right hand, pretended to be a reporter, and asked ridiculed: "Wow, Reima." I think you're on Bayern's blacklist. Looking at the boo, what do you think about it? Hearing Maniche say this, the surrounding Porto players also cheered up with kindness.
Seeing that his teammates were so interested, Lao Lei also cooperated, and talked eloquently as if he was being interviewed by reporters: "What do you think?" Cool, very cool. It's cool to be able to make more than 70,000 people hate you so much at the same time. Don't you think so? One day, the people who like me will make me famous for a hundred years, and the people who hate me will make me stink for thousands of years. And that's what I want to achieve in my career. Seeing Lao Lei say this with a look of indifference, these words made the players of Porto silent for a while. After the players pondered for a while, everyone's eyes lit up, and after looking at each other for a while, everyone shouted in unison, "That's right, this is so cool!" People who like me will make me famous for a long time. Someone who hates me will make me stink for thousands of years. Lao Lei's inadvertent words confided in his heart boosted the morale of Porto's players, perhaps they followed Lao Lei's words to find their career goals.
After returning to the visiting dressing room at the Allianz Stadium, Mourinho wondered why the players were so high-spirited, but he didn't ask in detail, isn't it a good thing after all. However, it is not too good for the players to be too excited, Mourinho after a little knocking on the Porto players. I started to hurry up and once again emphasize the areas that need to be paid special attention to today's game. To be honest, this Bayern team's current style of play is in Mourinho's opinion. There is really enough backward, old-fashioned German high-flying impact play. It has long been unable to adapt to the new era of football. However, this Bayern defense line does make Mourinho a little concerned, although some players such as Lizarazu are too old, but this still can't let this defense line loosen, it is still very stable. If they want to get a good result on the road, the most important thing for Porto to pay attention to is how to break down the Bayern defence.
Mourinho's solution for Porto is to beat Lizarazu behind him and find a breakthrough from the 35-year-old French left wing-back. Alenichev's task in this match is to keep attacking Lizarazu and crushing him in this match. And he will also have the support of the whole Porto team. Since you don't want to give up your past honors, let me defeat him completely, Mourinho said in his heart.
At the same time, defensively, Mourinho has trained Porto's ability to put high balls in the air and defend set-pieces in the past two days. Although in Mourinho's view, Bayern's two full-backs played like an amateur team after half the game, constantly raising high balls, but could not stand up to the opponent's tall man. There are too many headers, and it is very troublesome to make Bayern crazy once they make them crazy. Therefore, before the game, Mourinho also deliberately explained to Lao Lei and paid attention to the control of the ball. When Porto's possession rate was higher than Bayern's, Bayern's chances of playing high naturally decreased. Dealing with this Bundesliga giant, which has been in the doldrums in recent years, Mourinho is still very sure in his heart. After all, a discerning person knows Bayern's problems at a glance. However, he still did not dare to be careless, for fear of Heathfield, an experienced old coach. What a strange trick to hit Porto by surprise.
However, there is no such thing as a perfect tactic. Mourinho can only do what he thinks, playing his football well is the most important thing, and the rest can only take countermeasures on the spot. The time soon came for the players to officially take on the pitch, and Mourinho was also hurrying to make the final pre-match motivation: "Guys! I told you last year that we have to do a lot in the Champions League this year. And we did, at least so far, we've done a very good job. But that's not enough, in the eyes of those shitty football commentators on the outside, we're still like a hillbilly who accidentally broke into a noble banquet. In their mouths, we get only dark horses, spoilers.
I'm upset! Very upset!! Guys! I think that's what you think too. Now, though, there's an opportunity in front of us, an opponent they call a giant. Since we are just hillbillies in their eyes, let's go and sue them now, we are here to rob their hillbillies!! Today, we're going to do Robin Hood once! Go and sue those noble lords. Today! Over here! At this Allianz Arena!! It's our territory!! Set off to sue them! “
Mourinho's impassioned words raised the fighting passion of the Porto players to another level. After saying that, Mourinho waved his big hand towards the door of the dressing room like a general, pointing out the direction of the attack for his soldiers. And Lao Lei and other Porto players, like soldiers on the battlefield, responded to the general's slogan, pushed open the door of the locker room, rushed out, and ran towards the green battlefield illuminated by lights.
As the Porto players followed the referee out of the tunnel, the DJ was also introducing Porto's starting list. Unlike the tsunami-like cheers that Bayern players received, the Porto players were greeted with shrill boos, boos that could drive people crazy. And the broadcast staff at the scene also badly aimed the camera at Lao Lei, who had just made Bayern fans very unhappy, so that Lao Lei's face clearly appeared on the big screen, maybe they thought of Lao Lei's serious face without expression, or maybe they wanted to see the nervous expression on Lao Lei's face. But they were all disappointed, all they saw was Lao Lei's smiling face, which was a very sunny and sincere smile.
Lao Lei didn't seem to feel that the boos of the Bayern fans were aimed at him, and he was very heroic, so he waved his right hand at the camera and said hello friendly. Although the old Lei was very friendly, a wave of resentment could not help but rise in the hearts of Bayern fans. It's like the dislike that the other party doesn't care about, and what he faces is just the dissatisfaction of a group of inconsecilicant little people. Accurate. Very unhappy, this is the most zài among Bayern fans at present. The already loud boos, the decibel rose a step again. The scene was noisy, except for boos, there was no sound to be heard, and even the Champions League theme song that was being played was completely covered.
Even the referee couldn't stand it, he didn't want any accidents in this game. After the pre-match ceremony, before the game started, he deliberately found Lao Lei and gave him a verbal warning. Signaling to Lao Lei to restrain his behavior, and he will keep an eye on him. In front of the referee, Lao Lei naturally would not confront head-on, nodded very honestly, and signaled that he knew. This scene seems to have made Bayern fans feel relieved I don't know how much. However, they were soon angry with Lao Lei again, and after the referee walked away, Lao Lei winked very provocatively at the camera that had been following him. It's like teasing a little girl. This made Bayern fans not only angry, but also defined Lao Lei in their hearts, he may not be the strongest player in the future, but he must be the most annoying player.
After a series of events. The game is finally about to begin. Players from both sides of the pitch were already standing on either side of the pitch, waiting for the referee's whistle. In the position of the Bayern players opposite, Lao Lei can clearly see the formation of Bayern in this game. 4-4-2。 To be honest, in this Bayern team, Lao Lei has a lot of acquaintances. Some of them have been fought in real life, and some have been fought in system dungeons. In a word, Lao Lei is no stranger to this Bayern team. In the back line from left to right, Lizarazu, Kovacs, Kufuor and Sagnor, Demichelis in the midfield position, Ballack in the front, Ze Roberto and Hargreaves on the left and right wings, and in the forward line the European Golden Boot Mackay and Pizarro who transferred from Laco in 03. At least in terms of the fame of the lineup, Bayern's starting lineup is still star-studded, but fame is one thing, and the current state will be another story.
After the start of the game, first of all, the players of Bayern. After the formation of the two sides was rolled out, Bayern soon launched their first attack, encouraged by the home fans. I have to say that Bayern's current offensive routine is too simple, and Heathfield has not changed, still focusing on two wings, mainly through guò high balls to hit the opponent's goal. The football was at the feet of the Bayern players, and did not linger in the midfield for some time, but directly passed the midfield, and after Ze Roberto on the left received Ballack's ball, he immediately turned on the maximum horsepower, ready to play Kostiani.
I have to say that Roberto, a Brazilian player with the title of "golden left foot", is indeed extraordinary, with both the delicacy of South American players and the practicality of European players, and his technical style is quite similar to Deco. Facing Kostiani, with his flexible left foot, he kept buttoning and flicking, mobilizing Kostiani's center of gravity. Suddenly, the heel of his left foot slammed and after withstanding Kostiani's onslaught, he began to walk inward.
After coming to the middle lane, he played a one-two with Ballack, who was entangled by Lao Lei, and after getting rid of the space, he turned around and returned to the side to continue to rush forward. Although Lao Lei desperately tried to hook the ball behind Barak, Barak's body was not a joke, and he used his broad and powerful back to resist Lao Lei's harassment behind him. Ze Roberto, on the other hand, had not even reached the edge of the box before Ferreira could pounce, and passed the ball diagonally into the box, where Pizarro and Mackay were already scrambling for position.
The two strikers, both who are over 184 tall and have good headers, put a lot of pressure on Porto's back line, not to mention Ballack and Hargreaves up front. Although he trained a lot of high-altitude ball defense before the game, the first header of the game was grabbed by Ma Kai. He beat Carvalho's header over the crossbar and Bayern opened the opening four minutes with their first attack of the game.
Although Mackay's header did not pose any threat, it was still very unhappy for Mourinho, and he went straight to the sideline to shout his criticism to Carvalho without mercy.
Bayern fans, on the other hand, applaud, praise and motivate their players in addition to regret. At this time, Lao Lei is also slightly in his heart, although Bayern's attack is simple and rude, which makes people see clearly, but it can't stand its whole body muscles, it has strength.
Baia kicked in goal and the game resumed.
Bayern gave Porto a kick-off from the start.
Old Lei's eyes narrowed. (To be continued......)
