istanbul
In Byzantine times, it was called Constantinople. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The city has been known all over the world since hundreds of years ago, but for fans all over the world, they know the city more because of football, not only the miracle of the Reds in Istanbul in '05, but also the Leeds United fans who were stabbed to death, and the hellish stadium here.
Fenerbahce's home stadium, Sukuru Sarakoglu Stadium, is also one of Istanbul's hellish stadiums, and on the evening of November 25, the Sarakoglu Stadium welcomed Fenerbahce in this season's Champions League match.
The game has already begun, and even outside the stadium, you can hear the deafening applause and roar of the 50,000 Turkish fans in the stadium.
Gao Xiaodong thought that he had played the championship battle at the Dragon Stadium, experienced the luxury and grandeur of the Emirates Stadium, and should have the ability to be immune to any stadium in the world, but after the game started, Gao Xiaodong knew why this place was called the Hell Stadium and why it was so terrifying.
The entire stands were littered with fluttering flags and huge banners, and the fanatical Turkish fans began to shout and scream from the first second of the game, as if they would jump onto the pitch at any moment to kill and set fires.
What's even more disturbing is the fireworks set off in the stands, which almost cover most of the stadium, as if the fireworks don't cost money.
At the moment of life and death, the Turkish team returning to the home stadium seemed to be blessed by their Allah, and launched a fierce attack on Porto at the beginning, and the players of Porto seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the terrifying atmosphere of the Sarakoglu Stadium, and played back, although they were not suppressed to their own half, but the momentum was completely suppressed by the opponent.
Today, Porto still played the 442 formation that has been played recently, Gao Xiaodong and Lucho play the left and right wing-backs, and Sunderland and Hulk play as strikers.
However, under the crazy pressing of the Fenerbahce, Gao Xiaodong and Lu Qiao's two sides were not able to organize their teammates, and more time was spent on defense, fortunately, Gao Xiaodong and Lu Qiao are all-round players, both offensive and defensive, with the assistance of the two, Fernando and Mereles barely blocked the first wave of attacks of the Fenerbahce.
Fifteen minutes later, the Fenerbahçe slowed down and took a breath as the experienced Porto launched a counter-attack.
Fernando passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong's feet, and before Gao Xiaodong could turn around, two Fenerbahce players rushed towards him frantically.
If a player pounces, Gao Xiaodong dares to protect the ball to get rid of, in the face of the pressing of the two players, he asked himself if he has no ability to get rid of it, Gao Xiaodong quickly passed back to Fernando and ran to the middle to answer.
Gao Xiaodong played in the back when he played Fenerbahce for the first time, and now his position has become a right midfielder, Fenerbahce did not send someone to mark him before the game, just a zone defense, Gao Xiaodong ran to the midfield to receive the ball, Fenerbahce did not have a player to follow the defense for the first time, Fernando gave the ball to Mereles, Merreles passed the ball again, Gao Xiaodong quickly received the ball and turned around, and dribbled forward.
Gao Xiaodong showed a strong long-range shooting ability for the first time, Fenerbahce people are still very afraid of Gao Xiaodong taking the ball in his own half, Gao Xiaodong did not take two steps, Fenerbahce immediately had three players to Gao Xiaodong to block over.
Not only did he not let Gao Xiaodong advance, but even Gao Xiaodong's passing line to both sides was blocked, forcing Gao Xiaodong to pass back.
If it was Gao Xiaodong before he was promoted to the C level, he was not sure of the breakthrough, once he was stuck by the opponent, he would be surrounded by the opponent's three people immediately, and he would definitely pass back, but now Gao Xiaodong is not so afraid of the single defense, he did not pass back, but ran to Sasin who intercepted the front with the ball at high speed.
Sasin didn't dare to retreat too fast, if it was too fast, Gao Xiaodong would have space to pass the ball to both sides, and their three-man encirclement tactics would fail.
Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball at high speed, and when he was more than two meters away from Sasin, he dialed the ball and broke through to Sasin's back.
This is the most common way to break through, Sasin has been prepared for a long time, the front foot retreats back, and turns into a sideways face of Gao Xiaodong, once Gao Xiaodong accelerates, he can immediately turn around and chase back.
Gao Xiaodong didn't accelerate, and dunked the ball over again, looking like he was about to break through from the original direction.
Sasin sneered, and sure enough, it was a feint, and he immediately stepped forward and backward again, turning one hundred and eighty degrees, ready to intercept Gao Xiaodong's breakthrough.
However, Gao Xiaodong did not break through after smashing the ball, but knocked the ball backwards and passed it to Meireles, and when the opponent just came up, he quickly stepped forward and formed a two-by-one cooperation.
Meireles was plugged straight, Sasin was caught off guard, and was easily broken through by Gao Xiaodong.
Seeing this scene, Fenerbahce head coach Aragonés was surprised and said, "This No. 10 is playing very smart." ”
Ferreira nodded with relief, in the opponent's terrifying home field, Gao Xiaodong quickly adjusted his mentality, neither flinching nor impulsive, which made him very pleased.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong bypassing Sasin to get the ball, Fenerbahce central defender Lugano seized the opportunity to grab quickly.
Gao Xiaodong's chance of touching the ball first is much greater than Lugano's, he can push the ball away, but it is very difficult to avoid Lugano, his movements are not fast enough to pull the ball and then dodge Lugano, and those who do it at that level are stars from the five major leagues.
Gao Xiaodong decisively chose to pass the ball, stabbed the ball to Hulk first, and bumped into Lugano himself.
Boom!
Lugano and Gao Xiaodong each staggered two steps, Gao Xiaodong was short and had a better ability to control the center of gravity, and before he could stand firmly, he immediately ran towards Fenerbahce's penalty area.
However, it was too late by this time, Hulk had no players to answer the left and right, and the defenders had already pressed over, and he hurriedly got up and shot.
Hulk had a lot of power, even if it was a hurried shot, it was full of power, but fortunately, the Fenerbahce goalkeeper was very focused, and he flew to save the ball off the line.
A corner kick on the left side of the goal.
The corner kick in this position is Gao Xiaodong's.
When Gao Xiaodong walked to the corner flag area to take a corner kick, Aragonés determined that Gao Xiaodong's position today was really to organize the midfielder and not play as a midfielder in the first leg.
"This kid is very comprehensive. The midfielders of the organization also played well. Aragonés once again refreshed his understanding of Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong kicked a curved ball to find Alves in the middle to grab a point, Alves didn't grab the point, but shook Fenerbahce's defender, no one hit the ball, and begged to fly to the back point.
Porto full-back Fusile reacted smartly and headed the ball over to Lucho in the corner of the box, who stopped the ball a step to his side and fired into the back corner.
But Fenerbahce's players pressed so fiercely, where would Lucho be given time to adjust calmly, and when Lucho shot, the Chilean Maradonado on the side also came with a flying tackle.
Lucho didn't see it and continued to shoot, and after the ball left his feet, he was also tackled by Maradonado to the ground.
The ball flew off the beam, but Lucho lay on the ground and never got back up.
Porto's players quickly came around to question Maradonado, Gao Xiaodong also came over, he and Lu Cho were internal contradictions, at this time, he couldn't watch the opponent bully his teammates, even if this person was Lu Cho.
The Fenerbahçe, who were playing at home, were also unambiguous and ran over to block Maradonado.
At this moment, the Turkish fans in the stands were even more excited, shouting: "Kill them!" "Kill them!"
French referee Lajek quickly stood between the two players, separated them, and motioned for the stretcher to be brought on the field.
A stretcher came on the field and carried Lucho out.
However, the Porto players were very unhappy and demanded that Lajek show Maradonado a yellow card, but Lajek refused.
The team doctor examined Lucho on the sidelines and found that Lucho had a sprained ankle and could not continue the game, and Ferreira had to replace Lucho with Guarin.
Less than 20 minutes into the game, Porto injured a big player, which cast a shadow on the hearts of Porto fans in the stands.
With Lucho off the pitch, the captain's armband was worn on the arm of centre-back Alves for the first time and the game continued.
Guarin is born in the back midfield, has good physical strength, and has a certain breakthrough ability, that is, he loves sticky balls and long-range shots, so that he and Fernando partner in the back, Ferreira is not at ease, the two are 21 years old and the other is 22 years old, too young, Ferreira let Guarin play Lucho's position.
However, Guarin's shortcomings were magnified in the face of the aggressive and ferocious Turks, who had been on the pitch for less than three minutes before Guardin was caught between Boyar and Sasin, who launched a quick counter-attack from Porto's left.
Meireles saw that Guarin did not return, but Fenerbahce right-back Gorcan provided an assist, and Meireles hurried to the wing.
Fenerbahce played fast, and Boral passed back to Gorcan, who saw Mereles walking to the side and immediately crossed to Alex in the middle.
Today, Fernando is in charge of keeping an eye on Alex, Fernando is young, and without Gao Xiaodong's cunning and cowering, he can't keep an eye on the experienced Brazilian veteran.
While the ball was still on the way, the cunning Alex leaned back, just in time to hit Fernando, who wanted to stick to him, and then ran forward, immediately shaking off Fernando, who was knocked out.
"Stupid, pull him!" Gao Xiaodong, who had returned to the defense, quickly accelerated and ran towards Alex.
But it was too late, Alex made a pass on the edge of the box and smashed the ball past Rolando into the box.
Goalkeeper Helton quickly blocked Alex's angle.
Alex made another quick trip to the baseline, shook off goalkeeper Helton, and crossed the ball to Guiza, where it hit the returning Alves and flew into the net.
