Chapter 221: Waves Again!
The equaliser was levelled by a set-piece from a set-piece early in the second half, which was a big blow for Porto. This goal was a temporary loss of the strategic initiative of the second half for Porto, and the two sides returned to the same running line. This fact was very annoying to Mourinho, but now was not the time to criticize the players, he waved his hand, signaled the team to press, and changed tactics. In the case of the same score, he still retreats to play defense and completely hands over the offensive initiative to Manchester United, he has not been at ease with the team's defensive ability.
The game soon resumed, and Lao Lei and his teammates could only try to regulate their emotions and not let themselves be affected too much by this goal. In the face of the morale-boosting Manchester United, Lao Lei did not choose to retreat this time, but wanted to directly confront Manchester United. Lao Lei, who has learned some information about Manchester United, doesn't want the Red Devils players to be completely interested and crazy. As far as he knows, Manchester United and its players have such qualities. At that point, it will be very difficult for United to be suppressed.
After the formation returned to normal, Lao Lei immediately began to organize Porto to start a counterattack. Although Keane still relentlessly followed and caused a lot of trouble for Lao Lei, making him unable to easily take the ball and dribble the ball. However, Lao Lei is not without a way, that is, he keeps passing the ball to organize the team's offense, and try to reduce his personal ball holding and breakthrough. Although this does not have such a strong immediate effect compared to the "eye of the storm" tactic, it is still possible if you can calm down and organize slowly.
Besides, Keane is not always able to limit Lao Lei, as the game approaches, the strength of the 33-year-old begins to manifest itself in Keane, and it is a very physically demanding thing to run at a high intensity with Lao Lei for 90 minutes. And that's not something Keane, who is already 33 years old, can do. Although this seems a little unfair, after all, Lao Lei is only 22 years old. But there is no absolute fairness on the football field. When Lao Lei felt Keane's panting sound next to him getting louder and louder, his reaction began to become sluggish. He knew his chance was coming.
In the 55th minute of the second half, Lao Lei You walked to the midfield. With Keane pressing closely, he met Deco's pass. This time, Lao Lei did not pass the football directly, but directly turned around against the ball. A large number of systems have cultivated a sense of ball, which makes Lao Lei very good coherence when he does this action at this time. And Keane is obviously already able to keep up with his brain, but his body can't keep up, and he has the posture of being thrown away by Lao Lei directly.
As used Cruyff turned around. The soccer ball is passed from behind the user, so the user is stuck between the defender and the soccer ball, and if the defender does not react in time, then his outstretched foot must trip the user, resulting in a foul. At this time, Keane was like this, after he took a step slower, his left foot tripped directly over Lao Lei's calf, and Lao Lei was tripped. And Lao Lei, who fell to the ground, naturally did not skimp on his acting skills at this time. Falling to the ground, rolling and wailing. In the end, his performance was very successful, and Keane received his first yellow card of the game.
This will undoubtedly make Keane fearful for the rest of the game, not because he is afraid of a red card, but because of the importance of this game for him and United. Inevitably, he will have more thoughts in his heart. Especially, after Lao Lei said something in his ear in a slightly threatening tone, "What do you think. How will I get you another yellow card? Hehe. Keane clenched his fists at this. But there is nothing to be done.
Seeing Keane's expression, Old Ray knew that this was done. Before the start of the game. He spoke a few words to Deco, and he needed more support in the coming time, taking advantage of this moment to attack Keane. In the 59th minute of the second half, Lao Lei swam to the front. After receiving a pass from Kostiani with his back, he did not stop the ball, followed the ball with the outside of his left foot, and then immediately turned 180 degrees with his right foot as the axis. At the same time, he jammed Keane with his own hand, and then accelerated towards the football, and he was about to get up and throw Keane away. At this time, Keane was one step behind, and if he had been in the past, he would have immediately chosen to commit a tactical foul, but the yellow card just now made him hesitate. And a moment of hesitation on the football field can give the opponent an excellent opportunity.
After a few big strides to catch up with the football, the outside of the right foot directly took advantage of the situation, followed by the left foot to jump, and let go of Bout's big sliding tackle. At this time, Manchester United's central defense line has opened the door. Lao Lei directly took the ball and rushed towards Manchester United's penalty area at high speed. When Sylvester had to press out of the penalty area, Lao Lei did not choose to come by himself, but played a wall-hitting cooperation with Deco. After receiving the football that Deco leaned on Scholes's knockback, Lao Lei took a few steps sideways to the right, and without making any adjustments, he came with a cold shot and hit Manchester United's goal directly.
This difficult shot, Lao Lei played a very high quality. However, at this time, Howard's nerve knife played again and made a world-class save. This time, his reflection arc was as if it was made of optical fiber, and the reflection speed was extremely fast. After jumping high and backwards, he used his fingers to hit the old laser's shot to the far end.
This time, Lao Lei's shot made Manchester United fans almost feel that their hearts had stopped. If there were some low-level mistakes of Howard before, it was that they were very dissatisfied with this big bald head. Then at this time, as long as this big bald head puts a circle of light and says that he is Jesus, they will also believe it. Instead of the image of their team hoping for a team to get back from Porto after scoring, they feel that their side are now in a very passive situation. They didn't know how to fix it, but they believed someone could fix it, and they turned their attention to Alex Ferguson, who was furious in front of the United dugout. As long as there is this old Scottish man with a red nose, Manchester United fans will not worry about Manchester United's tactics.
And after Ferguson lost his temper, he also called up a few people on the bench at Manchester United to warm up. Among them is Cristiano Ronaldo. O'Shea and Manchester United's super-substitute Norwegian striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Originally, Ferguson didn't want to make personnel changes so early. However, the current situation on the field has to make him play his hole cards now.
After Porto sent a corner. Although it was Brown who got the first landing point and cleared it first. However, the second drop was taken by Deco on the edge of the box, and at the same time, Porto's formation began to press forward, forming a siege against Manchester United along the edge of the penalty area. At this time, Lao Lei also turned on the devil's muscles, ready to help Porto score again during the period when Ferguson has not yet made adjustments.
At this time, after Porto lost the ball in the front, they did not retreat, but launched a crazy pressing in the front court on the spot, and finally showed their own high pressing for the first time in this game. Several people with Lao Lei as the core cooperated with the siege. It put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's ball-handlers to choose a blind big foot, and the only way to get the ball away from the United penalty area was to buy a little time to adjust. It is precisely for this reason that Porto began to form a continuous offensive in the heart of Manchester United in a short period of time.
In the 64th minute of the second half, Lao Lei won the ball again and faced Keane at the edge of the penalty area. This time, Lao Lei directly chose to force Keane, and rushed to Manchester United's penalty area with Keane's harassment. At this time, Keane was a little cringe. Failed to give Lao Lei enough defensive pressure, so he took the ball to the penalty line too easily. At this time, Brown came around, wanting to form a trap with Keane and the two against Old Ray.
And yet at this very moment. Lao Lei suddenly stepped on the football with his left foot, and his body began to spin, which was a slightly variant of Marseille slalom. The difference is: Lao Lei's right foot did not pull the football, but directly knocked the football with the heel of his right foot. Due to the Marseille maneuver. It is to give Lao Lei a certain amount of space to handle the ball, and this Marseille slalom to receive a heel pass. It was also beyond Brown and Keane's expectations. The football rolled directly from Brown's feet and entered the penalty area, where Alenichev, who had been in ambush for a long time, was very tacitly stabbed by Lao Lei, squeezed past Fuqiong, and directly entered the penalty area and got the football.
Facing Howard, Alenichev directly aimed at the far corner with a push. At this time, Howard, who was still admired by Manchester United fans just now, once again proved that he was still the butter hand, and nothing changed. To be honest, Alenichev's push shot was not of high quality, and the angle was not very tricky. Howard, on the other hand, surprisingly did not hold the football, and the ball bounced back to the edge of the box. At this time, McCarthy in front of the goal showed his own goalscorer, and in the face of the football that bounced to his feet, he reacted very quickly, and flicked the outside of his right foot to complete his follow-up shot before Silvestre's blockade arrived. At this time, Howard was still on the ground, and McCarthy's follow-up shot was in the opposite direction to him, even if he was useless, the football went straight into the door of Manchester United. In the 65th minute of the second half, Porto was once again taking the lead.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! GOAL! GOAL!! GOAL!!! We're ahead again! 2:1!! Thanks to Reima's magician passes! Thanks to McCarthy for the goal!! Thanks to Howard for the best assist!! Ha ha! ”
After the ball was scored, Lao Lei directly turned to Keane beside him.
He gave him all the qiē that Keane had done to him.
Looking into the distance, the corners of my mouth turned down to make an expression that I didn't mean to, and I wrote the score on the scoreboard.
It's just that the old Ledo stretched out a finger, because the score is now 2:1.
Looking at Keane's expression, Old Ray could feel the anger in his eyes.
It was at this time that he saw such a scene.
Keane suddenly raised his hands and slapped them hard in the face.
Soon, Keane's cheeks on both sides were red and swollen.
After he took his hands away, Lao Lei saw a familiar look.
Wolfish, cold, and more dangerous.
Old Ray restrained his smile, he knew that the normal Keane was back.
In this regard, he is both a pity and a joy.
He held out his hands to Keane, then waved them in his direction.
Come on! Come on!! I'm waiting!! (To be continued......)
