Chapter 121 The Unexpected Corner Kick
It's 75 minutes into the second half, and Porto is still so reserved!
Mourinho has no choice, because as long as Porto loses the ball, the game is likely to be over.
In other words, as long as the ball is not conceded, Porto will not lose. This actually puts a lot of pressure on the opponent.
Ancelotti has also been aware of Porto's intentions, that is one word - procrastination.
So after 75 minutes, Milan also changed its strategy and became a control midfielder, reaching the foot in the middle circle.
This is a bit like the match between Japan and Poland during the World Cup in Russia. Both sides have such a tacit understanding, but the tacit understanding at this time is temporary.
75.
76.
77.
……
80.
Porto is still stable, but the boos at the Dragon Stadium are getting louder and louder. The fans would rather lose than pretend to be turtles in this way.
Mourinho was also very anxious, but he endured, and must explode at the last moment.
Time is up.
Several people in Porto's frontcourt quickly pressed up to grab the ball, Gattuso was taken aback and almost lost the ball.
"Okay, Porto has done it." Ancelotti thought to himself.
Milan passed control in the midfield, trying not to lose the ball. After Porto pressed out, the defense suddenly showed a vacuum, and Pirlo was waiting for this opportunity. He stuffed his foot straight behind Porto. This is Inzaghi's best way of shooting.
With a flick of his foot before Baier strikes, the ball misses the far post and the fans feel like they've been punched in the heart.
Mourinho applauded for Baia.
Since it's gambling, Mourinho has already thought about the price. It's okay, he has the character of a gambler.
Li Qiao took the ball on the wing, facing the old horse, he had to rush over.
The old horse is getting older, and after 80 minutes, physical fitness is the biggest bottleneck for the old horse, so Li Qiao became ruthless, without any fake moves, but moved forward with his left foot, followed by a kick with his right foot.
Lao Ma has encountered many fast players in his career. He has his own way, which is to take a shortcut, that is, he gets stuck inside.
Li Qiao has surpassed, but the old horse is still stuck inside, like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
slow down.
accelerate.
Changing speed is the biggest torture for defensive players, and it is also for Maldini, but he has become a defensive player. He knows one principle, that is, to block the inside line.
In desperation, Li Qiao had no choice but to forcibly kick a cross. In this era, crosses are generally made with a strong arc, but Li Qiao is not. His style of playing is advanced. Later, the biggest feature of crosses is that they are like shots. No matter who touches them, they may directly score.
With a pass that seemed to be passed and shot, Abiadi was a little scared, and he punched directly to the baseline. Porto won a corner kick.
Just as Deco ran towards the corner flag area, Mourinho gestured and asked Li Qiao to take a corner kick.
Before the match, Mourinho focused on studying Pirlo's set-pieces, so if you compare your heart with your heart, it is impossible for the opponent not to study Deco's footwork, so...Mourinho once again chose to win by surprise, and he asked Li Qiao to take a corner kick.
Sure enough, Ancelotti's heart skipped a beat, because he not only studied Deco, but also Maniche's free kick, but he definitely didn't study Li Qiao.
"That Chinese can kick a free kick?"
Ancelotti thought it was unbelievable, but what surprised him even more was that Porto's two central defenders were all on.
In other words, for this corner kick, Porto is ready to go all out.
The Milan players knew very little about Li Qiao's ball, or even zero, because in all the Porto Champions League games collected before the game, Deco must have taken free kicks.
Li Qiao was very nervous. This was an opportunity to show his face, but also a great responsibility.
He looked at the penalty area. Almeida was at the front, two central defenders were in the middle, and McCarthy was at the back.
This tactic is the No. [-] tactic. Li Qiao wants to kick off to the front point, and Almeida will head the ball back. The purpose is to give McCarthy a chance at the back point.
The referee whistled, Li Qiao stretched out three fingers, and then kicked to the front point, Almeida took off.
Maldini has been eyeing him for a long time, because it is a conventional tactic to arrange a big man in the previous point.
Almeida was pegged, and it was impossible to head the ball directly. He ferryed back and rubbed the ball to the middle.
There were a lot of people in the middle, and confusion was inevitable. McCarthy was about to take advantage of the chaos, but at this moment, someone stuck his head out.
The ball is in!
The whole audience erupted with excitement. The Dragon Stadium was as terrifying as a small earthquake. The camera kept looking for the hero who scored the goal. He will definitely become the hero that Porto worships all the time, but...'
Gattuso.
The camera finally locked on Gattuso's face.
Gattuso stretched out his head in a hurry, but he didn't expect an oolong. At this time, he felt as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.
"Haha, I think Porto should award him the title of honorary citizen, he did a great job."
The teammates ran to Li Qiao to celebrate, and Porto equalized the score. Mourinho turned his head and smiled at Morais, "See."
"You won again."
I have to say that if a person wants to accomplish something, hard life is also very important. None of these big-name head coaches in Europe is hard-working.
The teammates patted Gattuso with a mournful face. The Italian is unlucky enough, but Ancelotti is even more uncomfortable. He has realized the opponent's tricks, but there is nothing he can do. This is a very helpless thing.
Mourinho greeted his disciples, the more cautious it is at this time, "Go back and defend, remember, we only need one goal if the opponent is eliminated."
Mourinho stretched out a finger to remind the children of their current situation. In fact, Ancelotti also understood that only one goal is needed, and Porto is over.
But what if you lose another one later?Now it's 83 minutes.
The players looked at their head coach again. At this time, the coach still needs a word to unify their thoughts.
In the end, Ancelotti pressed his hands down and made a steady gesture. The players understood and asked to be steady.
While Porto looked at his coach, the madman continued to make offensive gestures.
"attack?"
"That's crazy."
Li Qiao was the only one who understood Mourinho on the field. After all, he was remembered for the rest of his life as a madman.
The Porto fans were excited. It turned out that the team didn't give up, but pretended to be X and blackmailed Milan.
Some neutral commentators couldn't believe what they saw. After only a week, the two teams seemed to have changed their lineups.
