Chapter 164
Although Real Madrid also had a dangerous shot in the opening period, it was not a problem at all in Mourinho's view. Real Madrid sit on such a luxurious attacking line that they deserve to have good attacking opportunities in the game, which are unstoppable. However, what makes Mourinho happy is that Real Madrid's defense still has not improved at all, and it is still so fragile. Originally, he thought that Queiroz's game would make Real Madrid's formation retreat, but he didn't expect that after the game started, it would still be such a big press. In this regard, Mourinho also has a little speculation, but this is none of his business, he still wants Real Madrid to press on it.
Not to mention Mourinho, who was happy on the sidelines, the two sides were playing wide on the field at this time. In the face of Real Madrid's pressure, Porto defended all the way, and then waited until once they had the opportunity to get the ball, they immediately counterattacked, and the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transitions on the field was very fast. However, neither side has been able to break the deadlock during this time. Porto, on the other hand, did not leave too many chances for the Real Madrid superstars in front of their own penalty area because they defended well enough. On the Real Madrid side, Porto's counterattacks hit the danger zone several times, but in the last pass or second pass and the last kick, because the game has just begun, the state has not been fully called up, and the handling has not been done well.
But now everyone can see that in this situation, there is no doubt that the Porto side has the advantage. Seeing such a situation, Zidane took the initiative to stand up and used his own possession to lower the pace of the game. Although Lao Lei went up and desperately pressed, he couldn't let the pace speed up again. This made Lao Lei have to regret that it might be a few more minutes. Porto could break the deadlock. However, he didn't have a good solution, after all, he faced Zidane, the master of ball control. Lao Lei's pressing is not as good as before, and the opponent's skillful ball control is indeed superb. High degree of professional proficiency.
At this time, the game came to the 13th minute of the first half, and after a period of fierce onslaught, the pace of the game on the field slowed down. Under the persecution of Lao Lei, although Zidane can still control the football, he cannot dribble the ball for a long time. At the same time, Lao Lei also deliberately forced Zidane outward, trying to keep him out of the danger zone. In a way, Porto's tactics are still the same as they were in the first encounter, and they haven't fundamentally changed.
Although Porto's dense and ferocious defense makes Real Madrid's superstar a bit tricky. But it's not impossible. In the 18th minute of the first half, Zidane and Guti combined to get the football at the edge of the penalty area. At this time, Zidane suddenly played a two-on-one with Guti in the opposite direction again, knocked his heel, and gave the football to Guti behind him, and immediately got up and went to the penalty area. At this time, when he arrived in the forbidden area, Lao Lei didn't dare to make big moves, but just used his body to stick tightly to Zidane, not allowing him to have room to make moves.
In the restricted area. Lao Lei almost wanted to hug Zidane. Faced with such a situation, Zidane showed his masterful level. In the face of Guti's picking, he relied on Lao Lei and stretched out his right foot to volley directly. Moved the ball to the middle of the penalty area. Although he knew that Ronaldo was not good at heading, no one dared to relax his defense. Just as Costa was keeping his eyes on Ronaldo, there was a problem on Carvalho's side. Raul's body is thin though. But with his keen sense of smell, he is always able to score great headers in games.
This time is no different. Raul first pulled out, bypassing the people in the box. Came to play on the top edge of the penalty area and temporarily got rid of Carvalho's defense. Then suddenly a forward cut and went straight to Zidane's pass. Carvalho, on the other hand, was blocked by a man in the box, but did not keep up with the nimble Raul. After successfully shaking off Carvalho, Raul leaped high and accurately stood on Zidane's pass. The classic lion flicks its head and throws the ball into the far corner of the goal, and the ball goes straight to the top corner of the goal.
This time Baia couldn't react in time, but fortunately the ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line and did not enter the net. However, this also made Porto's defense break out in a cold sweat, which made Baia have to complain a few words to Carvalho. And Carvalho also knew where the responsibility was, and did not refute anything, but secretly made up his mind that he would never let him run away again. When Real Madrid's offensive relied on the superstars, Porto also had no power to fight back.
In the 25th minute of the first half, after Lao Lei shook off Zidane with the cooperation of midfielder Guò and Deco, he rushed directly to the penalty area with the ball, and easily advanced the football to the hinterland of Real Madrid again. In the face of Pavon who was coming up, Lao Lei first made a gesture to eat him directly on the right, and after leaning on the side of Pavon with a few steps, his right foot suddenly leaked the football, and then when it fell, the football hooked back, and the football was behind Lao Lei and came to his left side. Pavon couldn't react and tried to reach out and poke the ball, but didn't touch the ball. And Lao Lei jumped alertly and dodged Pavon's feet, and then stepped directly into the penalty area with the ball.
In such a situation, Carlos and Elgra also had to make up for it. At this time, Old Ray was originally going to be allocated to McCarthy, so that he could face Casillas directly, but unfortunately he was in an offside position at this time. In such a situation, Lao Lei knocked his heel directly without looking back, and sent the football to the front of the penalty area, where Deco was already in place. Deco faced Lao Lei's pass, flicked horizontally, and after shaking off Beckham, who was actively defending, he was in a situation where there was no one to defend at all.
Deco was decisive to come with a long-range shot, and this time it was Santo Cassie who won the victory, and he blocked Deco's shot with both hands. However, Deco's shot hit a small touchline on Elgra's calf, which made Casillas's judgment problematic, and he could not hold the ball down, but could only play it back to the edge of the six-yard box. Just when the Real Madrid fans were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the figure of Porto No. 13 appeared on the edge of the football, and between Pavon's tackles, he gently poked the football into the empty goal.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! We're ahead! Ahead!! At the Bernabeu, we are the leaders! And the Galactic Battleship has become a laggard! Rayma appeared where he should have been. A beautiful team attack that completely broke through Real Madrid's defence. Casillas pounced on Deco's shot. But against Reima's shot, he was helpless! It's unbelievable! Is this the Real Madrid defence? I don't see anything commendable. It's so easy! It's so easy!! It's so simple!! ”
Although after the goal. Old Ray was also brought down by Pavon's tackle. However, after seeing the ball into the net, the old thunder held it up. All at once he stood up, as if he had a spring installed. He excitedly rushed to the Real Madrid fan stands behind the Real Madrid goal, and he did what he wanted to do, and the entire Bernabeu stadium was literally silent.
He stood in front of the stands, facing the stands, raised his hands to the two ears, made a trumpet-like gesture, and had a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
Show your boos, there is no need for your boos.
At this time, in the face of Lao Lei's provocation. But it was the silent fan stands.
But Old Ray also quickly got what he wanted. In the posture of some villains in front of Lao Lei, the always civilized Real Madrid fans disappeared and scolded Lao Lei. "Portuguese bitch, do you want to die?" "Die, hillbilly", of course, accompanied by shrill boos. Looking at the angry Real Madrid fans, Lao Lei put down his hand and slowly stepped back. Spread your hands, shrug your shoulders, and make a helpless gesture that you don't understand. Then he was pressed under his Porto teammates who rushed up behind him, stacking Arhat.
The giants are a group of teams that want to save face. When you want to provoke him, you will definitely get a fierce response. After the restart, Porto ushered in Real Madrid's ferocious counterattack. Although it is their established strategy to let the Real Madrid army press. But there are no perfect tactics, especially against an angry Real Madrid.
As Raul, the prince of the Bernabeu. He was the first to stand up. Although some people criticize Raul's style of dominance in the team, sarcastically mocking him as Real Madrid's second manager. A cancer in the locker room. But no one can deny Raul's loyalty to Real Madrid and what he means to be the spiritual leader of this Real Madrid team. With Morientes leaving Monaco to welcome Ronaldo, Raul had to make concessions for the sake of the team, leaving the position closer to the goal to Ronaldo. At the same time, he also took on more defensive responsibilities, as it was impossible to count on the increasingly bloated Ronaldo to defend, and his bloated stature forced him to run less to keep him fit for the game.
After seeing Ray's goal, Raul began to explode. After the restart, Raul's pressing intensity up front suddenly increased, and this change caught Porto off guard. In the 31st minute of the first half, Costa was too careless when receiving Kostiani's return pass, and did not meet him, but waited in place and waited for the ball. At this time, Raul struck in a diagonal stab, caught up with the panicked Costa, took the lead in getting the football, and went straight into the penalty area.
Against Baia, Raul made a brilliant lob that flew into the far corner of the goal. Although Baia jumped up as best he could to touch the footballs, the angle was too awkward, and the ball bounced on the inside of the far post and into the goal. Just five minutes after Ray's goal, Raul used his positivity to catch a mistake by Costa and help Real Madrid equalise.
After scoring the goal, Raul excitedly rushed to the stands of the already crazy Real Madrid fans. And Real Madrid fans did not hesitate to give their favorites a deafening cheer. Facing the camera, Raul made his trademark celebratory pose, kissing the ring on his left ring finger.
At the same time, Real Madrid fans did not forget Lao Lei, and some fans shouted at Lao Lei. Although Lao Lei couldn't hear what they were shouting, he didn't have to think about it to know that it was not a good word. didn't care, since his debut, Lao Lei doesn't know how much swearing he has heard, and to put it mildly, the swearing of Real Madrid fans is quite good.
Costa, who made a mistake, made an apologetic gesture to his teammates. He didn't expect Raul to suddenly appear, knowing that at the previous moment, he had seen Raul on the other side of the penalty area, carelessly. In the face of the veteran captain, the Porto crowd did not complain anything, and quickly adjusted their condition and prepared to start again. The football was put in the middle circle for the third time in the first half, and Lao Lei's eyes were staring at Real Madrid's goal.
"It's just the beginning." (To be continued......)
