Chapter 220: Equalized! Provoked!!

After the game resumed, Lao Lei was also not able to enter the game immediately. Due to FIFA regulations, although the wound on Lao Lei's forehead is not deep, he still has to be treated and stop the bleeding before he can continue to play on the field. This also led to the fact that Porto could only play with a 10-man squad for the time being, but this did not give Manchester United anything to take advantage of. Under the influence of Lao Lei's disregard for his appearance, the morale of the Porto players was greatly boosted, and during the period when Lao Lei was being treated, he exploded his 120% strength, and blocked Manchester United's attack to the outside of Porto's goal.

After a few minutes, Lao Lei returned to the field, with a sandbag on his forehead and a new jersey. The jersey just now was stained with its own blood, and it was not allowed to continue to wear it due to the rules. When Lao Lei received permission from the referee to enter the game, he received a standing ovation from the Porto fans in the stadium. Some neutral commentators also said with appreciation: "The 22-year-old young Portuguese player responded to Keane, who was marking him, with his tough expression. In front of the 33-year-old Keane, he did not show the slightest weakness, which was undoubtedly a huge mental boost for Porto. In that respect alone, Remaier is undoubtedly an excellent core. ”

At this time, the first half of the game was already in the 43rd minute, and if you count the injury time, it was almost only about five minutes, and Manchester United still could not equalize. After Costa blocked Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot with his body again, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Porto stubbornly kept the score 1-0 until the end of the first half, which was undoubtedly an excellent result for Porto. It's already broken the glasses of many people. In the process of getting off the field, Lao Lei looked at the slightly silent Manchester United players on the side. I couldn't help but jokingly say to Maniche next to him: "You say, did you make a noise at Manchester United's briefing today?" ”

Maniche also knew what Lao Lei meant when he heard it. After all, Lord Fu's hair dryer has long been famous in the world. Maniche, who was in a good mood because the team was leading in the first half, didn't mind cooperating with the old Lei Kan Dashan at this time, and pretended to be very serious and said: "Of course it will, and it should be over decibels." After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, and they both grinned and smiled very happily. And this is also the general mentality of Porto players, they feel that the silver glittering big ear cup is getting closer and closer to them.

This optimism for the players. Naturally, Mourinho is going to pour cold water. However, he himself does not know how much effect, after all, this is the pressure on the players in the Champions League final, and the change of mentality with the change of shape on the field is difficult to grasp. He can only hope that the players will not give Manchester United any chance to take advantage of the change in mentality in the game.

The thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Mourinho clapped his hands to stop the discussion and draw their attention to himself, and began to lay out the tactical changes for the second half. The final stage of the first half. Scholes' pullback gave Mourinho some ideas. He felt that Porto needed to make some changes in the second half, otherwise they would probably suffer a big loss.

The 15 minutes of half-time are always going to go faster in a big game like this. When Lao Lei walked out of the locker room, he also happened to see the door of the dressing room of Manchester United on the opposite side being opened. What came out were Manchester United players with stinky faces and murderous eyes in their eyes. Lao Lei can almost feel the deep resentment and burning fighting spirit from the body of the Manchester United players. A meaningful look at the Manchester United players. Lao Lei had to shake his head in his heart and sighed: "This game is really not so simple." ”

Immediately afterward, Ray saw an acquaintance walk out of the Manchester United dressing room. It's Cristiano Ronaldo. This is the first meeting between the two after not seeing each other for a long time, but it is still an unpleasant meeting. Two people don't overdo it at the same time. With a cold snort, he walked towards the exit of the players' tunnel. When it was time to go out, Ronaldo's voice rang out: "In this game, we will definitely win this game." We're Manchester United! ”

Hearing this, Lao Lei also turned his head and looked at Ronaldo, who was full of confidence, the corner of Lao Lei's mouth twitched slightly, smiled disdainfully, and replied: "Yes, you are Manchester United, and I like to win such a team." As for you, I haven't seen you on the pitch yet, so you're a Manchester United player. What a disrespect! After saying this in a pretended surprised tone, Lao Lei didn't care how ugly Ronaldo's face was, and walked directly towards the stadium. If he looks back, he can see how wonderful Ronaldo's face is, from red to black, then from black to blue, and then from blue to red, just like neon.

However, it is estimated that Lao Lei would not care too much even if he knew, and now he needs to worry about the players on the opposite side of Manchester United, and soon put Ronaldo in the back of his mind. As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the second half of the Champions League final officially began. Manchester United, on the other hand, quickly made changes in both attack and defence, as Mourinho had expected, at the start of the second half. From the very beginning, Keane and Scholes switched positions, Keane became a defensive midfielder, and Scholes was called a playmaker midfielder. This is bound to greatly weaken the defensive pressure that Scholes received in the second half, after all, Deco does not have the strong pressing ability of Lao Lei. It would reduce his chances of scoring, but it would make United's attack come alive, which would be more good than bad for United.

The Manchester United players were also estimated to have been trained by Alex Ferguson at half-time, and they started at the beginning of the second half. In the 49th minute of the second half, Paul Scholes again played to his advantage with a long pass, and the ball found Giggs with precision. In this Champions League final, Manchester United's most advantageous point so far is Ryan Giggs. In the first half, several of his breakthroughs posed a great threat to Porto's defence, and Ferreira still looked a little weak against him.

This time too, Giggs faced Ferreira, who was pasted up, and deftly headed the ball behind Ferreira, who was also ready to accelerate around Ferreira. This time, Ferreira was once again reluctant to bring down Ryan Giggs, giving United a free-kick from the edge of the box and a yellow card for himself. This will make his defense more stretched in the future. Mourinho obviously thought of this and frowned, but he couldn't help it. After all, Ferreira is already the best right wing-back candidate in Porto, and it is estimated that he will be even more unbearable than Ferreira if he goes up to someone else.

In this regard, he can only instruct Kostiani to let go of Saha appropriately and help Ferreira's right side of the defense. After all, when the time comes, if Fu Qiong assists him, then the right side of Ferreira's town will really hang. Manchester United's free-kick was taken by Paul Scholes. On the right edge of the box, it's not a good chance to shoot, and if it's a pass, it's more dangerous.

At this time, several tall men in the Manchester United team stepped forward. Porto did not dare to slack off, and all the players returned to the penalty area and the front. Scholes' free-kick flew towards the front post, and Ray and Keane were there again, again battling for position. This time Keane emerged victorious, and he got the first landing point in football. However, he did not choose to attack, but leaned forward to meet Scholes's low ball. Immediately, a lion shook his head and made the football is header to the middle of the penalty area, and Lao Lei was mainly guarding against Keane's header at this time, so he was not prepared for Keane's pass and did not block it.

Not only Lao Lei, Keane's pass was unexpected by the entire Porto defense, and the Porto players seemed a little caught off guard for a while. And at this time, the king of the small penalty area, Van Nissen, showed his natural sense of smell as a top scorer. After making a circle, he shook off Costa's follow-up and appeared in Keane's passing path just right. Keane's pass was a bit high, not suitable for a direct volley, and there was no time for Vanney to adjust, as long as it was a moment, Costa could come up in time to block Vanney's shot with his body. In such a situation, Fanny showed the imagination that belonged to the shooter. He lifted his right foot and kicked Keane's pass hard. The ball was moving quickly towards Porto's goal after changing the line. At this time, due to the close distance and the obstruction of the line of sight, Baia could not make an effective save, and the ball flew straight into the gate of Porto after bouncing off the ground.

After seeing the goal scored, the red sea of Schalke Stadium suddenly became turbulent. As the referee pointed to the midfield and made the decision to score a valid goal, the cheers of the United fans immediately took over the entire stadium. Five minutes into the second half, the team equalised and they were ecstatic. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored the goal, didn't run long before he was crushed under him by the excited Manchester United fans and celebrated.

Compared to Ferguson, who raised his arms in celebration in front of the dugout, and the excited Manchester United players, it was clear that the Porto players could not accept such a result at once. The second half was so quick to equalise was a huge blow to their morale. At the same time, it is also time to test the mental quality of the Porto players, to see their ability to resist pressure and play against the wind.

And Keane didn't celebrate with his teammates at this time, he found Lao Lei.

Like an old friend, he patted Lao Lei on the shoulder.

With his left hand, he put it on his forehead and made a gesture of looking out from afar.

At the same time, the finger of the right hand pointed to the big scoreboard on the spot, and the score on it had jumped from 1:0 to 1:1.

Then on the one hand, I made an expression to Lao Lei that I didn't mean to, and on the other hand, I stretched out two index fingers and made a 1:1 gesture.

Looking at Keane's distant back, a smile tugged at the corner of Lao Lei's mouth.

Somewhat bloodthirsty!

The teeth clenched together in his mouth.

Squeak! (To be continued......)
