The next game made Porto play very uncomfortable, although Porto can control the rhythm and situation on the field, but every attack of Marseille can always make Porto's back line tense their nerves. The strong Ivory Coast shooter does not have excellent skills, but he keeps running, runs on a rampage, and such a simple way of attacking makes Costa and others suffer. Marseille's attack is very simple, passing the ball to the heart of Porto and allowing Drogba to attack, scramble or shoot straight at goal. Faced with Drogba's liveliness, Costa and Carvalho had to resort more to the double bag to limit him.

But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that so far he has not shown any signs of fatigue, just like Cheng Dù, who was only warming up in the previous game, and Lao Lei can already feel that Costa and Carval are slightly wolf. Now that's the case, so what about the 60th minute, the 70th minute, Lao Lei only understood what Mourinho meant by asking himself and others to do their best to take the lead. With Didier Drogba, an obvious weapon to attract "hatred", Marseille's other attacking personnel have gained more attacking space, and although this approach is not enough to break Porto's defence, Lao Lei still sees danger in it. At this time, Lao Lei thought of a sentence in the martial arts novel he saw in his previous life, and he broke through a thousand coincidences.

In such a situation, Marseille undoubtedly wants to speed up the pace of the game and give full play to Drogba's impact ability. What Lao Lei has to do now is to slow down the pace of the game and reduce the opponent's offensive opportunities with possession, so as to put pressure on the Porto defense. So there was such a scene on the field. Marseille's players pressed frantically against Porto's midfielders, while Porto's side, led by Lao Lei, desperately tried to slow down the game with passes. This time, however, Porto's pass was tougher than in previous matches. Because there was a big black guy in his backfield, he kept pressing Costa and others who got the ball.

Know the 15th minute of the first half. Marseille's pressing intensity was reduced by the body, and Porto finally stabilized the situation. Lao Lei did not have a rare forward insertion in this 15-minute time, but honestly stayed in his own half to organize the inverted foot. The goal of this is to reduce the support Drogba receives, and since his ball control skills are not good, then start from this aspect, reduce his chances of receiving the ball, and put a noose on the beast.

At this time, Lao Lei saw that the situation was almost under control. Only then did he begin to try to slowly penetrate forward, testing Marseille's defenses. This kind of temptation made Lao Lei breathe a sigh of relief, although Marseille's forward line is a little difficult because of Drogba's survival, but fortunately their defense is not stable, and the midfield is not strong enough, although Marseille is tricky, it is not difficult to deal with. At this time, Lao Lei couldn't help but fantasize that Drogba would replace McCarthy in the position of Porto's striker. What would that look like? However, this was only a fantasy after all, and Lao Lei quickly refocused on the game, and for now the most important thing is to win against Marseille first.

In the 21st minute of the first half, in the midst of the raucous boos of Marseille fans. Porto played the first dangerous attack of the game. In midfield, Lao Lei used his body to carry the Marseille defender and sent a beautiful long-distance through ball. Football goes straight to the gap between Marseille's centre-back and left wing-back. Hit them in the back. Alenichev opened his speed to the maximum power at this time, using his speed to force his way around the left wing-back. Before the football went out of the bottom line, he controlled the football. Then face the centre-backs who have come back to make up for it. With a buckle of the right foot, the left foot is immediately followed by an ankle turn, and the ball touches the ball and rolls forward. Taking advantage of the fact that the Marseille centre-back had to make a sharp stop to adjust his focus because he had rushed too hard, Alenichev played again, forced past him and entered the penalty area. And because Alenichev had already entered the penalty area, the Marseille central defender did not dare to make any small moves behind him, but just grabbed Alenichev's jersey very covertly, preventing him from being too fast and giving his teammates time to come over to make up for the defense.

And this time Alenichev did not try to pass the assist, but directly chose a volley from a small angle. With Marseille's exclamations, Alenichev's shot was blocked by the attentive Marseille goalkeeper and McCarthy's follow-up shot was also blocked by Marseille's centre-back on the goal line, and Porto missed a golden opportunity to break the deadlock. However, with this attack as a starting point, Porto's offensive began to be aggressive.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Lao Lei used a deft pull ball to turn and shake off the Marseille midfielder, used his body to withstand his impact, successfully accelerated to get rid of Chenggong, and then directly began to dribble forward. After coming to the frontcourt, Lao Lei played a delicate two-on-one match with Deco. After receiving Lao Lei's ball, Deco directly returned the football to Lao Lei's feet with a beautiful heel, and Lao Lei returned the football directly to Deco's feet without stopping the ball. After Lao Lei came to the front of the penalty area, Deco successfully divided the football again, and a continuous pass between the two completely disrupted Marseille's defense line and successfully penetrated the football into the front of Marseille's penalty area.

At this time, Lao Lei inadvertently aimed at the open legs of the Marseille central defender who came to defend him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. In the face of Deco's pass, Lao Lei made a pretending to receive the ball, and suddenly opened his legs, allowing the football to pass through the crotch between himself and the Marseille central defender, and directly into the penalty area. At this point, McCarthy showed the awareness that a shooter should have, and although he was not mentally prepared, he instinctively turned and accelerated in the middle of the defender and came out. In the face of Lao Lei's leaked football, he didn't make much adjustments, but directly made a powerful volley. At such close range, there was little the goalkeeper could do in the face of a powerful volley from his opponent, other than to make world-class saves in the occasional form, but it was clear that the Marseille goalkeeper was not in such an occasional form today. The soccer ball slipped through the gap between his hands and flew into the goal behind him, making a crisp "pop" of the ball hitting the net. In the 27th minute of the first half, Porto managed to take the lead away from home thanks to McCarthy's goal.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Ben-Ni!! A decisive shot that helped us get the lead. In this attack, the back-to-back cooperation between Anderson and Reima was dazzling. In particular, Reima's imaginative leak at the end was a moaning pleasure. "Under the passionate and joyful commentary of the Porto commentators, it was the silent Velodrome Stadium. Such a beautiful goal is appreciated by Marseille fans, but the helpless thing is that such a goal belongs to the opponent.

Soon Marseille fans won't have to regret such a goal, as their team played their own violent and simple football. This time Marseille's attack should be described as a chance that was not a chance, and in the 35th minute of the first half, a corner was awarded. After the football was kicked off, the penalty area of Porto was in chaos. Although it was Costa who grabbed the first landing point, under the influence of the unknown small actions of Marseille striker Magath, Costa did not exert his full strength, and the football was not pushed out of the danger zone, still in the Porto penalty area. Immediately, the players of both sides competed in the narrow penalty area, which made Porto's penalty area even more chaotic. And in the chaos, just as Carvalho was about to kick the football out of the penalty area, Drogba rushed behind him. Before Carvalho could kick the ball away, Drogba forced his way through Carvalho's body, crossing his body between him and the football at once, and broke the football with one kick.

Immediately after that, Drogba seemed to be unaffected by Carvalho's physical confrontation, did not move, and then half-turned and volleyed, and the football flew to the gate guarded by Baia in the chaos. The chaotic situation in front of him confused Baia's vision and prevented him from reacting to Drogba's shot in time. Let Drogba's unelliptical shot quickly drill into the net from the middle of the goal, and Baia has not made any saves at this time. In the 36th minute of the first half, with Didier Drogba's goal, the home team Marseille pulled a point back.

Suddenly, the Velodrom Stadium was as noisy as a powder keg that had been detonated, "Didier! The cries resounded over the stadium and the Marseille fans gave their heroes the utmost courtesy. Compared to the elegance of the Parisian fans, the Marseille fans are more inclined to volcanic passion. Marseille's No.11 knelt with open arms to greet the cheers of the fans. And behind him, what was left was Carvalho with a helpless face. If the average striker, Carvalho's physical contact was enough to make their shot off target, but Drogba's unaffected appearance left him helpless.

If Porto's goal process is wonderful, delicate, then Marseille's goal is a straight line, full of power, maybe the process is not so convincing, there are many factors of luck in this attack, but the result is the same, it's enough, isn't it? Although Costa wanted the referee to complain that he was pulled by Magath when he jumped, the referee ignored him. Not to mention that this small action was stealthy enough not to attract the attention of the referee, this is the Velodrome Stadium, but the Dragon Stadium, and this reason is enough.

Although the goal conceded was a bit frustrating, the Porto players quickly adjusted their mentality. After all, in terms of strength and appearance, Porto still has a big chance of winning, and as for such a goal, Marseille is not something that can be encountered every time.

In the lingering celebrations of the Marseille fans, Porto reopened the football and the game continued.

At this time, Lao Lei got instructions or tactical requirements from Mourinho on the sidelines: "Take the lead in the first half." ”

Scoring a goal in the next 10 minutes is a difficult task. But this kind of task makes people or Lao Lei have full motivation to complete it.

On the occasion of Marseille's celebrations, Porto 10 is called the beast of victory! (To be continued......)
