The first half of the 02-03 UEFA Cup final ended with Porto leading 1-0. But to be honest, this game didn't bring too many surprises to neutral fans, and the whole first half was more like a fierce defensive competition between the two teams, which made these neutral fans look a little boring. It was full of people flipping on their backs, and the game was broken up by the referee's incessant whistles, which was very unsmooth. Although the referee's enforcement standards were tightened in the second half of the first half, they were still relatively relaxed, and such standards were undoubtedly the main culprit in making the game like this. And it also caused dissatisfaction among Porto fans, in their opinion, such law enforcement standards are obviously more conducive to Celtic who play defensive counter-attacks, which also leads to the latter thing.

The only bright spot in the entire first half may have been Lao Lei's dashing goal after passing three people in a row at the end of the first half. It was this goal that lifted the neutral fans who were drowsy in front of the TV a little and looked forward to the second half of the game. And Lao Lei's goal also made the UEFA officials who watched the game at the scene frown slightly, a dull defensive battle, it is simply the biggest killer of ratings, but these two teams are not the top giants in European football now, and the ratings will undoubtedly be lower. Although the cake of the UEFA Cup is getting smaller and smaller compared to the Champions League, no matter how small the fly is, it is still meat.

Not to mention these satisfied or dissatisfied spectators, both teams were hurrying to arrange the tactics of the second half in their respective locker rooms. On Porto's side, Mourinho is telling Lao Lei not to be too obsessed with the battle with Celtic, which just happened to fall into the hands of Celtic. Lao Lei's anger in his heart was almost out at this time. Nodding to show that it is understood, the second half is to take advantage of Porto's technical advantages to fight with Celtic. The reason for this in the first half. Lao Lei also saved up the time for the Celtics to restrain their movements, and then let them play a technical style of play in the second half. A little more relaxed.

The break passed quickly, and the players from both sides arrived on the pitch one after another. However, just as the referee was about to blow the whistle, a fat middle-aged European man rushed onto the field, not wearing any clothes. This made Lao Lei stunned for a moment, and at the same time he had the urge to poke his eyes blind, he felt that he might have to grow a needle's eye. I don't know how he rushed in, but I saw that he quickly rushed to the referee on duty with trembling fat and snatched the red card from the referee's pocket. and lit up at the referee, as if he was very dissatisfied with the referee.

This middle-aged man running naked may be a Porto fan. After showing the red card to the referee, he quickly flashed past the security personnel of the stadium who rushed over, rushed straight to Baia, and clapped with Baia before being caught by the security personnel and taken out of the stadium. This is the first time Lao Lei has seen someone really running naked, but it's a pity that he is a middle-aged man with a disfigured figure, and he has given such a person for the first time. Lao Lei felt that the cloth was not worth it.

But I have to say that the appearance of the naked running man diluted some of the gunpowder smell for the upcoming second half, and at the same time completely cheered up the neutral fans in front of the TV. It plays the role of a good seasoning. At the start of the second half, after Porto actively sought to change, it was finally not as boring as the first half.

Ray led Porto to break up Celtic's defence with quick passes in midfield. It's no longer like in the first half. With Porto in the lead, Ray is in no hurry to push the ball forward. And also let Deco and McCarthy drop back a bit and increase the number of receiving points. Strengthen the control zhì. This is not the first time Lao Lei has played in the finals, everything in such a game is based on stability, and the purpose of Lao Lei's play is to let the Celtics take the initiative to press out, in order to get better offensive opportunities.

In the face of Porto's style of play, Celtic's own technical shortcomings are infinitely magnified, even if they succeed in stealing the football, they will quickly lose the ball in front of Porto's rapid siege. The impatient Celtic players were able to choose to foul Porto frequently, but the strict referee was like a shackle, forcing them to rein in their hands. The most fearful thing about their style of play is that the referee will send off the player prematurely.

However, despite Porto's dominance in midfield, it was Celtic who scored first in the second half. In the 53rd minute of the second half, Celtic won consecutive corner kicks, and a large number of tall Celtic players were pushed in front of the goal, which made Porto's defense a little tight. And this is the consequence of Kostiani's departure, as one of the best headers in the Porto team, his role in defending high balls is irreplaceable. Porto's team is full of excellent headers, Costa, Costiani, Carvalho, plus Lao Lei half, a total of three and a half. Now after Kostiani is off injured, there are only two and a half left.

This is enough if it is against the Portuguese Super League team, but it is slightly insufficient against Celtic. In Porto's penalty area, it was suddenly a mess, and it could be seen that the Porto defense was inadequate. After winning their third corner in a row, Celtic finally broke down the door for Porto. After the Porto players focused on Celtic's tall man, Larsson burst onto the scene. After a sudden start to shake Carvalho away, he leaped high at the back post to beat Carvalho and head the ball into the near corner. Thanks to a corner, Celtic equalised. Although Mourinho was told to be careful of Celtic's set-pieces, he still allowed Celtic to succeed.

Now it was the turn of the Celtic fans on the scene to boil, they did not belong to anyone in terms of passion, compared to the cheers of the Porto fans just now. The equaliser had less than 10 minutes into the second half, which was really good news for Celtic.

Porto's players were a little frustrated, but they recovered quickly, and there was still enough time for them to go ahead again. I'm still very confident in my offensive ability. After the game restarted, Lao Lei began to lead Porto's midfield forward. The pace of the game on the field. Under the leadership of Lao Lei, he suddenly got faster.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Porto managed to push the ball to the front of the Celtic penalty area. After arriving at this place, the Celtics players stopped fouling and rashly fouled. Lao Lei received a pass from Deco, flicked his left foot, and even stopped, flashing a trace of space to shoot. This caused Celtic's central defender Balde to force out, and then Lao Ray suddenly flicked the outside of his right foot sideways to Ferreira, who also stepped forward. Ferreira received the ball with a low shot, but it went wide of the left post and didn't put pressure on Douglas.

Since then, Porto's offensive has gradually threatened the door of Celtic. Celtic's players are starting to have to choose to foul Porto players. In the 70th minute, McCarthy received the ball outside the box and was tackled by Vargalen to injure his right ankle and had to leave the field for a brief treatment. Just four minutes later, Lennon tripped McCarthy, who had retreated back into the box to receive the ball. Celtic's players began to receive yellow cards in quick succession and stubbornly held on to the draw. On the sidelines, Mourinho began to complain to the fourth official with frequent dissatisfaction: "Why is there no red card? Don't you see that they want to scrap my players? “

At this time, although Lao Lei wanted to pay back, he had to put this idea aside. Time is running out, you have to hurry up and score goals. Although he hates his opponent very much, Lao Lei also has to admit that the Celtics' kraft candy-style play is really difficult to entangle. Many times when Porto were about to have a good chance. All of them were destroyed with fouls. And Lao Lei hit the goal directly with several free kicks at the front of the penalty area, but he didn't seize the opportunity to break the opponent's goal. Instead, the opponent gradually let go of his hands and feet at the edge of the penalty area.

And there is one thing that makes Lao Lei feel very uneasy, the physical advantage he originally thought. Unexpectedly, this is not the case. The Porto players, who have been pestered by the Celtic players until now, are the first to show their physical fatigue. Although Lao Lei and a few other people in the backfield are still okay, the pace of Porto's frontcourt has gradually shown signs of slowing down.

Thinking of this, Lao Lei immediately increased his investment in offense. The clock was already in the 82nd minute, and Porto finally played a smooth combination up front this time. Lao Lei and Deco formed a bond again, and they continued to hit the wall with each other, and finally pushed the football to the edge of the penalty area. Lao Lei stepped forward into the penalty area, and then Deco understood a pick pass and gave Lao Lei back. Balde beside him was constantly using his body, squeezing against Lao Ray, not letting him handle the ball easily.

Leaning behind him, Balde stretched out his right foot to catch the ball, but it was only a feint. The right foot conceded the ball, then followed by a 180-degree rotation on the axis of the left foot, accelerating behind Balde. Balde was unprepared for this, and before he could react, the football only went from in front of him to the feet of Old Ray behind him. Most of the neutral fans who came to watch the game this time were Spanish fans, and they were the least resistant to this kind of action full of spirituality and creative power. This action, I don't know how many fans Lao Lei has won.

After turning and breaking through Balde, the Celtic defense suddenly collapsed. Douglas had to choose the angle of attacking to block Lao Lei, and after Lao Lei made a feint to shoot, the outside of his right foot flicked the instep, and the football automatically reached the back point laterally. There, again, Alenichev relied on his speed, shook off the defenders and ran into position, and rolled into the goal with a light block against the empty goal. 2:1, Porto exceeded the score again in the 83rd minute.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Alenichev! Fatal Blow!! He showed up where he should have been!! Of course, we can't forget Jì, Reima's nanny-style assist. The previous handicap was even more amazing, and our Godzilla gradually appeared as a master! ”

The Olympic Stadium shook again.

Porto's players were in the corner kick area, hugging each other, unable to tell who was rough.

And Mourinho rushed here excitedly from the coach's seat, allowing the outside world to witness the young coach's crazy journey again.

And in the crowd, the move of Porto 13 has once again gained enough attention.

When the Celtics fans couldn't stand it and booed, he raised his hands, made a trumpet shape, and put them next to his ears.

Come on! Let's make it a little more intense!! (To be continued......)
