Chapter 205: Ballet

After the score of 2:0 was brought to the second half, the situation on the field began to change. Chelsea's tactics are no longer as conservative as they were in the first half, and there has been a huge increase in their aggressiveness. The 2-0 scoreline is very embarrassing for Chelsea, it is not fatal, and it will make them feel like a fish in their throats if they return to their home stadium like this. Porto's offensive nature has shrunk slightly, and in terms of overall strategic adjustment, the offensive intensity has been reduced a little, and the defense has been rarely strengthened. Mourinho's aim is clear, which is not only to hand over the ownership of the game, but also to allow Chelsea to take the initiative to play, and Porto can take the opportunity to play on the counter-attack.

Claudio Ranieri knows very well what Mourinho is up to, but what can he do, the initiative on the pitch is now in the hands of Porto. In the 50th minute of the second half, Chelsea made their first threatening attack of the second half. Although in terms of midfield scheduling, Chelsea's technical type is slightly inferior to Porto's, but the strength is undoubted, Porto's midfield interception ability can cause Chelsea some trouble, but it is far from suppressing.

And in order to strengthen the attacking ability, Chelsea's two full-backs began to press up. In midfield, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole played a slight one-two to give Lampard space to handle the ball, and he immediately found Bridge with a long ball. Bridge is a typical traditional English full-back, with plenty of body and accurate crosses. In the face of Frank Lampard's pass, Bridge reached out with his right foot and volleyed over to Pacos Ferreira. Immediately after that, make a slight adjustment. He just crossed straight and sent the ball into the Porto penalty area.

In the penalty area, Hasselba beat Costa to get the first spot. The header gave the football club to GoodJohnson on the sidelines. When the Icelandic striker won the ball, Carvalho and Costa blocked the way in front of him. So he didn't get up immediately, but took a few steps sideways, seeing that he had already shaken off the line of shots. At this time, Lao Lei also hurried back to the defense in place, and from the side and back of GoodJohnson, he stretched out his feet to block. However, it was just a front for Gudjohnson, when he suddenly hit his heel and passed the ball to the feet of Frank Lampard, who was free. A long-range shot from the back row is Lampard's specialty. He has a good shot and is extremely capable of scoring. This time, Frank Lampard hit the goal with a powerful kick in the face of football, and went directly to the left side of the goal.

With a shout of "hmm" from the Porto fans, Baia double-fisted Frank Lampard's long-range shot was the first to start. However, the loan period did not leave the penalty area, and Hasselbaink's physical strength was once again reflected at this time. He squeezed Costa behind him and scrambled to strike before the Porto players could finish. However, his scramble shot from the spotting with an anti-aircraft gun in front of goal was a good chance for Chelsea to miss again. This made Chelsea fans who came with the team. It was again helplessly covering his head. They came with great expectations, but the current team's performance on the pitch is not satisfactory to them in any way. When the team eliminated Arsenal, who were unbeaten this season, they couldn't help but want more. However, things were far more difficult than they thought. The first leg against Porto gave them a hard blow.

But the fanatical, loyal nature of England fans came to light at this time. Although England has a notorious football hooligan, there is no denying that England fans have a strong passion for the team. and even somewhat paranoid loyalty. They will never boo their players and their team, no matter what the team's situation is. The first thing they think about is probably to support the team, but of course this is provided that the player or the club's management has not done anything to harm the interests of the team. So at this time. Still, the Chelsea fans chose to side with their side and cheered on their team with loud singing. I have to say that in terms of rendering the atmosphere, England fans do have their own uniqueness.

Perhaps encouraged by the fans, Chelsea burst into attack and launched a furious attack on Porto's defence. Gudjohnson dropped back closer to midfield to support the likes of Frank Lampard. With the addition of Gudjohnson, the Porto midfielder, who was originally dominant, suddenly felt the pressure. In the 66th minute of the second half, Gudjohnson sent in a precise through ball that allowed Glen Charles to completely add up the pace. When it comes to pure speed, Valente doesn't have the upper hand.

Glen Charles passed the ball out of the box before it could go off the line. Frank Lampard, who was at the edge of the penalty area, did not stop the ball, made a header and handed the ball to Gudjohnsson. At this time, Joe Cole also cut in diagonally, and at the edge of the penalty area, he and Frank Lampard and Gudjohnson faced Lao Ray and Kostiani. Costa and Carvalho were drawn away by Hasselbaink in front of him, while Ferreira was temporarily behind Joe Cole and too late to come to help.

Between the three of Lampard, there was a succession of passes, so that Lao Lei and Kostiani had no choice, and Gudjohnson dribbled directly into the box and had the angle to shoot. At this time, Lao Ray directly made a ferocious big sliding tackle, shoveled the football out of the bottom line, and at the same time brought down Goodjohnson, who was about to shoot. Although the Chelsea players asked for a penalty like the referee, the referee saw it clearly and did not give a penalty, only a corner.

"Phew, fortunately, it's not a penalty. Reema is really a daring man, and he dared to fall to the ground and slide so decisively in the penalty area. Now that Chelsea are attacking more and more, we need to counter-attack and we can't let the Englishmen go on with such impunity. The narrator at the scene exhaled a sigh of relaxation and then couldn't help but say worriedly.

Porto's players, on the other hand, had no time to listen to his advice and were nervously preparing for a Chelsea corner. Joe Cole's corner was followed by another shot on goal for Chelsea. Centre-back John Terry grabbed the first drop point of football and directly shook his head at the goal. His header went straight to the top corner of the near corner, and Baia made another gesture to drag the ball out with one palm. Chelsea were awarded another corner.

At this time, Mourinho couldn't sit still. He stood anxiously on the sidelines and watched closely the development of the shape on the field. Although Mourinho is very calm and sophisticated in front of the players, this is his first time leading the team to the last four of the Champions League. With the Champions League final just around the corner, how could he not be nervous. This season, Porto's results have been unexpectedly good, which has also given him more ideas about the Champions League. Shaking his head and shaking these thoughts out of his head, Mourinho rethought the game on the pitch, and Porto was still a weakness when it came to high balls compared to England and Germany. This is something that Mourinho cannot change, after all, it is determined by the overall style of football in Portugal.

But thankfully it was the second corner. The goalkeeper was too close and was jumped into his arms by Baia, defusing the flurry of Chelsea attacks. At this time, taking advantage of the interval between games, Mourinho also shouted Lao Lei's name loudly on the sidelines, but did not say anything. Despite this, Lao Lei also knew that Mourinho was criticizing his inaction during this period. This is actually a bit unreasonable, after all, this is Chelsea's overall offensive is strong, and it is a bit useless for Lao Lei to do it alone. But there is no way around it. That's the core treatment, prestige, status, tactical choices you are at the top. Then you are the first to be blamed, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Lao Lei didn't want to refute, he had been busy defending just now. I took advantage of this gap to start thinking about how to fight back. In the 76th minute of the second half, Lao Lei made his own response. It was finally Porto who played a very dangerous counter-attack. Frank Lampard was on the edge of the box and fired a powerful shot from Gudjohnson's pass. Blocked by Old Ray's feet. After the powerful football flew high, Costa cleverly grabbed it before Hassel's bar, and then handed the football to Lao Lei, who was already in the front.

In addition to Lao Lei, Deco, McCarthy, Maniche and Alenichev were also all in the same half as Chelsea. In the face of Costa's pass, Lao Lei directly made a freehand pick-up pass, and shook off Makelele, who was forced to block. Immediately afterwards, he withstood the impact of Makelele behind him, handed the football to Deco on the side, and then accelerated forward. By the time Ray received Deco's pass again, Makelele had already been left behind by him.

Coming to the front of Chelsea's penalty area, Lao Lei was already directly facing Chelsea's back line. At the same time, Maniche and others also began to open the Chelsea defense for the old Ray. Directly facing Terry who pounced, Lao Lei's whole person suddenly violated the principles of physics, a pause, a dancing Marseille maneuver, and directly pressed out Terry is clean.

And behind Lao Lei, Terry gritted his teeth and reached out to pull Lao Lei's jersey directly, ready to foul rather than let Lao Lei enter the penalty area. And at this time, Lao Lei, who had just used the Marseille sleum, took advantage of the situation to do a Marseille maneuver again, which made Lao Lei look like he was dancing in a ballet. This not only allowed Old Ray to avoid Terry's hands, but also allowed Desailly's veteran to grab up. Seeing Lao Lei use this dance-like move, in a small space, freehand to let Terry and Desailly, the Porto fans have already stood up and waited for the goal to come.

Facing the helpless Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini, Lao Lei easily shot with a pick. Chelsea fans who came all the way to the Dragon Stadium could only watch helplessly once again as football fell through their doors. 3:0, this score is enough for Porto to seal the victory of this game at home.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! What can I say?! This is Reima!! This is Reima!! It's a complete solo show, is this Swan Lake?!! Today Godzilla danced the ballet, which brought the Chelsea people a complete loss! It's a black ballet!! See you at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea man!! ”

Perhaps hearing the words of the on-site commentator, after Lao Lei scored a goal, he was directly on the spot with his toes on the ground, his hands raised high, and danced the ballet.

The height of 187 makes him not look like a graceful swan, and it looks a kind of reverse funny.

This directly amused the Porto fans, and after a few laughs, they also joined Lao Lei with warm applause and danced for Lao Lei's wonderful "ballet".

It's like this isn't a dragon stadium, it's a cabaret stage somewhere.

To the applause of almost 50,000 people, one of the most ugly ballet performances in history was staged.

The number 13 in Porto flutters.

This is perhaps the ugliest of all.

Maybe it's the best!
