987 goals valid!
Porto's small action caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the Lions fans, especially when some hidden fouls were not whistled, or even when the referee blew the penalty but did not take out the card, the Lions fans in the stands would erupt into loud boos.
When Aldridge complained to the fourth official, Mourinho came over, he attracted Aldrich's attention, turned his head to look, and saw the right index finger of the madman in a suit and leather shoes in front of his mouth, the meaning could not be more obvious: Aldrich, you fuck-shut up!
Or, perhaps, there is also the subtext of shutting up the Millwall fans in the stands as well!
Aldrich smiled, turned and walked back to his place.
He disdained to argue with Mourinho on the sidelines.
Porto's utilitarian style, he doesn't criticize, Porto's small actions have also appeared frequently in the Champions League in the past, when Ferguson fired, when Irueta complained, Aldridge did not comment, and did not put pressure on UEFA in this aspect before the game.
However, just because I don't criticize doesn't mean I agree that you can do it!
Moreover, in a head-on conflict with Mourinho, Aldridge felt a loss!
An absolutely loss-making deal!
He is a thorn in the eye of his peers and a stepping stone.
Clashing with Mourinho, no matter who wins or loses in the verbal quarrel, it will bring more popularity to Mourinho, and Mourinho will not lose money.
Why?
Because there are many, many people in the world who are not happy to see people like Aldrich who have a lot of money and can still achieve their dreams and continue to succeed.
Whoever blocks Aldrich, who can make Aldrich deflated, those who are looking forward to Aldrich's heels. will turn to who to support.
Mourinho's own unruly style. It also meets the idol standards of many people.
Behave. It's going crazy! There should be no one in sight! It should be the first in the world!
Therefore, many coaches with mild personalities can neither please the media nor win the support of fans, and lack the characteristics of sharp and prominent personalities.
Aldrich used to be crazy, but now, he is a senior in the industry, he has been coaching for ten years, and he shouts and kills every day for fear that others don't know how awesome he is. That's not interesting.
He will have a time to break out, but he will not always be sharp and restrained, but it is feared by his European counterparts, and at the same time, it is also worshiped by many people, this is an aura that has been strong to a certain level, standing at a certain height, and can bring deterrence without doing anything.
Mourinho lowered his hand and Aldridge turned around and walked away. It's not like losing the confrontation, it's more like ignoring him. In particular, the faint smile was extremely glaring in Mourinho's eyes.
He stood beside the fourth official and said indifferently: "Don't pay attention to what the man says, he is like a lawless bureaucrat who always wants others to serve him." Your work has been good so far, don't let that person interfere with your work. ”
Mourinho walked away.
This madman, who has the wife of a psychology professor, is naturally a master of psychological warfare.
As soon as Aldridge put pressure on his side, he came up to relieve the pressure, and described Aldrich as a villain, and the timing was quite appropriate.
Poor Fourth Official had a chill down his spine and his hair stood upside down, and he always felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger today.
Mourinho returned to the side of the coach's box, Porto is indeed very utilitarian to play like this, but there is no way, there is a gap between the overall strength and others, can you sit still?
The most intuitive comparison is that Millwall has three Mr. Golden Balls, and most of the world-class players in the starting team, while Porto does not even have a world-class player who is recognized by the outside world at this stage.
Millwall defended solidly and did not panic once, stemming from the way they organised their attack, ensuring they were not threatened by Porto on the counter-attack.
Mourinho gave up the idea of taking the initiative to make changes, and the weak team is to be passive and preemptive.
Wait for the strong team to make a mistake!
Porto are constantly testing Millwall's bottom line, and it's not like a purely competitive confrontation, but more like a psychological confrontation.
When Millwall is provoked, even if only one or two players lose their minds and lose their mentality, Porto's chance comes!
Mourinho, whose face was as calm as water, kept repeating in his heart: Resist, resist, they will make mistakes, they will make mistakes!
In this anticipation, his eyes also became extremely sharp.
He has a lot of faith in his team!
Aldrich naturally had great faith in his disciples.
Millwall will protest to the referee after being harassed by the Porto defence with constant small movements, but will not make a fuss and complain.
Under the influence of Aldrich's teaching, they have already developed a calm mentality in the face of difficulties.
If Millwall's attacking players focus on dribbling, they will inevitably be caught by the Porto players.
As a result, the attacking players up front began to speed up and used the faster frequency of passing and receiving the ball to avoid being physically violated by the Porto players.
Alonso also boldly stepped forward to participate in the frontcourt pass and cut under Aldridge's gesture, becoming a steady response point.
Alonso's position can be pressed, but his range of motion changes according to Deco's position.
As long as Alonso can defend Deco head-on when Millwall is on the counter-attack, he can go up and participate in the attack, keep his distance from Deco, limit Deco's role on the counter-attack, and cut off the connection between his teammates and Deco.
Millwall quickened up the pass and soon had a good chance, and after a succession of passes up front, Porto were forced to contain Millwall with more conspicuous fouls.
When Ronaldo played the ball from Nedved to Alonso in the left position of the pitch and returned it to Alonso, he was kicked to the ground by Ferreira as soon as the ball left his foot, and the referee signalled a foul, and Ronaldo sat on the ground and straightened his hair
His hairstyle looks careless, and it seems to take a long time, which is very confusing.
But when he got his hair in order and stood up, Alonso also kicked the ball at the feet of Ronaldo, who just got up. It doesn't matter if Deco stands in front of the ball to block his fast serve. Move on the spot and stealthily rub the ball straight up. The ball arced around and fell into the penalty area in front of it like a cross, and the ball grazed the right side of Deco's chest.
At the same time, Nedved took advantage of the fact that Porto was still arranging the defensive line, and did not expect Ronaldo to drive the ball directly out of the way with Deco blocked, and they looked a little flustered, and when Nedved entered the penalty area, they anxiously signaled to the referee for offside.
But. The linesman's flag was not raised.
Nedved chose to volley directly at a relatively small angle, and the ball was slammed into the goal by him after bouncing off the ground, Bhya subconsciously reached out to block, the ball hit his shoulder and refracted upwards, and then hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced back to the goal line, Beyer quickly held the ball in a panic.
'Wow, Millwall missed a great chance to score, bad luck, Ronaldinho sent a quick free-kick and Nedved shot from an offside position in the box. The ball deflected off Byea and almost flew into the back of the net. Porto escaped! ”
The ball shook Mourinho into a cold sweat.
He swallowed and continued to keep his composure.
The counter-attacking opportunity that Porto hoped for still did not appear, they were always suppressed by Millwall to the extreme to get the opportunity to attack, but further forward, Millwall's overall defense was very tight, to put it simply, Millwall used the offensive strength in front to suppress the opponent as a whole.
Henry was depressed in this game.
When Millwall attacked, Porto's defenders were like a dogskin plaster sticking to him, and all kinds of small actions were distracting him, and once he completely got rid of the opponent, an average of 3 times, 1 time was that the opponent must have a player fall to the ground, and then, if he went to defend and harass, his usual action would cause the opponent to scream and fall to the ground.
With 30 minutes played, Porto did not have a single shot on goal and Millwall had seven, but none of them had particularly good chances, and Porto had a wall on the line of the small penalty area when necessary
Taking advantage of Porto's counterattack was not successful, Nesta passed the ball back to goalkeeper Bute, Porto's striker Delle did not come forward to harass, and honestly returned directly to the midfield, Xiao Luo knew that the team would pass the ball in the midfield, so he let Henry run out, and when Henry trotted two meters in front of Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo was distracted and said a few words to him, Henry rolled his eyes and nodded clearly.
Thierry Henry retreated, almost clash with Nedved's position, there was no one on the front line, and Porto's backline was about to press forward slightly, but they didn't dare to go too forward.
In the 36th minute, Nedved was kicked to the ground by Mendes in the forward midfield, and the referee blew for Mendes for a foul, and Nedved stood up without looking at the opponent.
Ronaldo trotted to take the free kick.
Henry rushed forward like the wind!
He rushed straight through the gap between Carvalho and Valente.
Carvalho and Valente were shocked and chased Henry into the box, but they were certainly not as fast as Henry, seeing that Henry ran into the offside trap, and Millwall's free kick had not yet been opened, they quickly stopped and pushed forward, allowing the back line to be parallel and keeping Henry in an offside position.
Henry's place is on the right side of the penalty area, offside two positions.
Seeing this picture, Aldridge smiled, and Mourinho frowned, his heart beat like thunder, and a sense of foreboding came to his mind.
Thierry Henry, a world-class striker!
He can't be a running habit like this.
He must be pressing the back line and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, and use explosive power to achieve the goal of success in the anti-offside position!
Now this running position looks a bit amateurish.
However, Millwall passed the ball out at this time.
Ronaldo's diagonal pass, the scalpel-like through straight through Porto's back line, the direction of the ball rolling, is where Henry just run.
But the moment the ball was passed, Henry ran parallel to the left, but the distance between him and the ball became farther and farther!
Porto's defenders are raising their hands to signal that Henry is offside, but the linesman is running in the direction of the bottom line, there is no trend of raising the flag, and the direction of the linesman's run, the route of the position, in the field, there is a blue figure wind into the penalty area, diagonally rushing into the ribs of the penalty area!
Larson!
He's definitely not offside!
Porto's defenders seemed to be stupid.
Seeing that the linesman did not raise the flag, Larsson received the ball in the box, and they quickly rushed towards Larsson and tried to return to the small box to block the goal!
However, it was too late!
Larsson didn't stop the ball at all, and the moment he touched the ball, he crossed it to the other side.
Henry, who has been depressed for more than 30 minutes, is extremely relaxed at this moment!
He didn't stop the ball, and when Costa and Carvalho were two steps away from him, he met the ball and gently pushed it with the arch of his foot closer than the penalty spot, and the ball flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal!
By the time Beyer made the save, the ball had rolled over the goal line.
The Porto generals were like a bolt from the blue, and turned their heads to look at the referee, only to see the referee stretch out his hand to the center circle.
The goal works! (To be continued......)
