Chapter 412: Victory or Defeat in a Thought
The yellow card has little impact on Messi, it has a great impact on Gao Xiaodong, Messi does not undertake defensive tasks, but Gao Xiaodong's defensive tasks in this game are very heavy, and this yellow card has weakened Gao Xiaodong's defensive ability a lot.

The game resumed, and Barcelona continued to control the ball and fell to the feet, wasting time and waiting for Porto to come up and press.
Porto just grabbed a wave without success, and was almost counterattacked by Barcelona, not daring to grab again, and the game returned to the original dull confrontation.
Sky Sports commentator Martin said depressedly: "I thought that Barcelona would make the game more exciting by scoring first, but I didn't expect Porto to not attack, the game was more dull and boring than the beginning, and it was simply lethargic." Now that Barcelona have an astonishing 75 per cent possession, shouldn't they give Porto a ball and let Porto play in the other half, otherwise it won't be like a game. ”
In the face of Barcelona's ball-controlled obscene law, Gao Xiaodong was also very helpless, he thought that after being promoted to the professional A-level, he would be able to perform on the field, but he didn't expect that there was no place for it at all, because the game played for almost 30 minutes, and he, the attacking core, touched the ball less than 10 times, and every time he took the ball, he was caught by the opponent, there was no ball at his feet, and no matter how good his skills were, he couldn't play it.
Ferreira is also helpless on the sidelines, what should he do if he can't grab the ball? How can he attack without the ball at his feet? As long as Barcelona does not attack, Porto has no way but to risk expanding the scope of the pressing, and if the scope of the pressing is expanded, Porto's defense will be completely exposed in front of Barcelona, which is world-class in terms of individual ability and team cooperation.
Barcelona has the ability to attack, but they are leading by one goal, and they will not take the initiative to attack without an absolute opportunity, Porto also wants to attack, but they can't even grab Barcelona's ball, there is no way to attack, and if they are all pressed, they will almost commit suicide.
The lethargic game lasted another 10 minutes, and the game reached the 40th minute.
Barcelona found a flaw in Porto in the constant transfer of passes.
This flaw was caused by Henry's feint on the left side, the right back Fusile was tight, the Porto defense was tilted to the right, Henry hit the middle to Xavi, Messi ran to lead away Gao Xiaodong, Xavi passed to Iniesta, Iniesta attacked the right rib of the penalty area, and Porto's center of gravity continued to tilt to the right.
Iniesta failed to attack, and passed back to Xavi again, Xavi suddenly went straight to the side to find Eto'o, Eto'o passed the ball to Puyol who came up with the assist under Sissoko's defense, Porto's full-back Rodriguez moved to the middle, did not return, Puyol and Eto'o played a one-two combination, dribbling down the bottom and crossing the middle.
With the opportunity to attack, Barcelona's three midfielders and Messi all inserted into the penalty area to grab points, but Gao Xiaodong rushed to Messi before he arrived, risked an own goal and kicked the ball to the side and defused the cross.
Barcelona took advantage of the fact that the Porto defense was not completely settled, quickly sent the sideline ball, and continued to attack.
Messi on the side, did not dare to dribble anymore, and passed the ball to Xavi, who cooperated with Iniesta, Busquez with consecutive short passes, and passed to the front of the Porto penalty area.
Porto tightened in front of the penalty area, Barcelona had no chance, the ball was distributed to Henry, who saw Toure in the cameo central defender step forward and immediately crossed to Toure.
Toure followed up with a powerful shot that flew straight into the top right corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Porto goalkeeper Helton was so focused that he flew to save the ball off the line.
Barcelona won a corner.
Xavi drove the corner kick, and Pique, who was fighting for the top in the middle, was too straight and powerless under Alves' interference, and the ball was held by Heldon's hands.
It was a rare opportunity and Helton quickly ran to the side of the box to risk the ball over to Hulk.
Hulk ran wild with the ball, and Porto's midfielders were quick to follow up on the counter-attack, except for Fernando, who stayed in defence.
Barça were Jordan Henry and Silvinho on the left, both veterans and experienced players, but fearful of Hulk's unreasonable use of speed and physical prowess.
Henry's desperate pursuit failed to narrow the distance with Hulk, Hulk forced Silvinho, and Silvinho had no choice but to reach out and hold Hulk and stop Porto's attack with a yellow card.
Porto take another free-kick.
Gao Xiaodong knew that it would be difficult to get a free kick at the edge of the penalty area, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he set the ball up, ran slightly, hit the middle of the ball with the arch of his right foot, and quickly went up and pumped the ball towards the goal.
Gao Xiaodong didn't know how to kick this kind of leaf slash, this was the first time he used it in an official competition.
The ball didn't spin at first, it seemed to be crossed, but the power was a little big, goalkeeper Valdés studied Gao Xiaodong and knew that he was powerful, thinking that he was using too much force, so his attention was on the player who grabbed the point.
However, after the ball flew past the middle of the box, it suddenly floated to the left and plummeted sharply, heading straight for the goal.
Valdés was horrified, and he flew to pounce, his arms all open to reach the ball.
But Valdés' height and reach were not enough, and he didn't touch the ball with all his might, and just when Valdés was desperate, he heard a bang, and the ball hit the post and bounced out.
Alas!
A heavy sigh rang out from the stadium almost simultaneously, the result of the regret of nearly 20,000 Porto fans and more than 10,000 neutral fans.
Yu Lei had a bad premonition and said, "Xiao Dong is unlucky today." ”
The monkey also said worriedly: "Fight the strong with the weak, the score is behind, if the luck is not good, there will be no help." ”
Xiao Le listened to the displeasure and said: "The game is not over yet, what are you saying that is unlucky." ”
Everybody stopped talking.
Gao Xiaodong and his teammates didn't have time to regret, after the ball rebounded, Barcelona grabbed the ball and immediately launched a counterattack, there was only the last minute left in the first half of the game, if one more goal was conceded, the game would be completely lost.
Porto's players are desperately running back, Barcelona players are also desperately running forward, everyone is racing against time, whoever runs to Porto's penalty area first, who arrives first has more players, who will have the upper hand in this competition.
In the quick counter-attack, Barcelona's passing was still extremely accurate.
The ball was launched from Xavi's feet, the ball passed to Messi's feet, Gao Xiaodong went to take a free kick, did not follow Messi, Messi was like a wild horse, dribbling past two Porto interceptors in a row, until Gao Xiaodong chased after him, he gave the ball to Henry on the side, and continued to insert himself.
Gao Xiaodong did not chase Henry, he quickly returned to his penalty area along the shortest straight line.
This is the right defense, whether Henry passes the ball or cuts inside to shoot, as long as Gao Xiaodong can return to the penalty area one step earlier, he has a chance to make up for it.
In the end, Gao Xiaodong returned to the Porto penalty area first, Sissokoho was one step late, and Barcelona on the other side arrived quickly with Henry, Eto'o and Messi.
Henry cut inside, Helton quickly blocked the near corner, and Gao Xiaodong quickly approached Messi to prevent Henry from passing to Messi to shoot.
Henry faked a shot, but suddenly flicked his right foot in, shook Helton, and immediately got up and fired into the far corner.
Henry didn't have time to observe, shook Helton and shot, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to run quickly to the goal line when he smashed the ball, this is the goalkeeper's consciousness, he knows that Henry is definitely going to shoot this time.
Gao Xiaodong blocked with his foot during the run and blocked the ball.
"Ahh
"God!"
"Scared the hell out of me!"
"Didn't enter!"
"I didn't even get in!"
……
There was a burst of exclamations and cheers from the stands, which were different expressions of emotion from the fans of both sides.
However, the alarm was not lifted, and when Gao Xiaodong returned to the defense, Messi also followed up, he grabbed the ball before Henry, rubbed the instep of his foot, and hoisted it to the top left corner of the goal.
It's a slippery hanging door.
The goalkeeper Helton in the right corner has already gotten up to defend, Gao Xiaodong, who is standing in the small penalty area, is too short to intercept, as long as he hangs right, the goal will undoubtedly go in.
The hearts of the Porto fans have just been put in their stomachs, and they immediately raised their throats again, and everyone was expecting Messi to hit the post.
However, at this moment, the audience was stunned to find that Gao Xiaodong actually jumped back and hit the ball off the crossbar with one hand.
If Gao Xiaodong was the goalkeeper, it would be a beautiful save, but Gao Xiaodong was not.
Career A-level skills gave Gao Xiaodong a higher consciousness and faster reaction, in that position, Gao Xiaodong just made a completely subconscious action, after touching the ball with his hand, Gao Xiaodong felt that something was wrong, but the big mistake had been made, and it was useless to regret it.
Gao Xiaodong lay on the ground and closed his eyes, he knew that his first Champions League was over.
Sure enough, the referee Busaka came over, showed Gao Xiaodong a red card, and let him leave the court.
Although there is a system in his body, there will be no shortage of Champions League in the future, but Gao Xiaodong still couldn't help crying, and the taste of failure was really bitter.
The audience was silent, both Porto fans and Barcelona fans were silent, and even the commentator did not speak, just watching Gao Xiaodong leave lonely.
Although Gao Xiaodong's fame is not as big as Messi's, and his football is not as dazzling as Messi's, if Messi is a genius, then Gao Xiaodong is also a genius, with wonderful violent long-range shots, and the ability to attack, defend, and defend, which is also not something that ordinary people can do.
This was originally a contest between two geniuses, and no one expected that just after half of the game, Gao Xiaodong left the field with a red card.
Although Gao Xiaodong didn't deliberately handball, the score of 0:2 would also make the game completely lose suspense, but after all, there are still highlights, after Gao Xiaodong left, the game may only be left with a one-sided slaughter.
