97. The last counterattack

Live footage was cut to Porto's bench. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Their head coach was numb to Tor Pereira, and behind him were even more numb home fans.

Originally, they thought that a 91-year-old youngster could be used as a surprise soldier, but after only a minute, they fell into despair......

James Rodriguez crossed his hands on his hips and looked down and sighed.

It was his mistake that caused the collapse of the midfield formation, and he was directly responsible for the goal.

I'm too impulsive!

Before he made the decision to tackle, he really thought he could easily break the ball from Scholes' feet with speed and impact!

The 39-year-old man, who looked thin and weak, maintained a high level of vigilance when the attention of ordinary players was most relaxed......

4-0, Rodriguez knows that he is powerless, and the score will even expand further.

But he didn't give up, even though he had just recovered from the flu before the race.

Because he knows that he is actually the real attacking heart of this Porto, he is more physical than Moutinho, he is more capable of attacking forward and finishing games himself, and he was worth more than 30 million euros in the transfer market half a year ago!

Even if you can't win in the end, at least save face!

Rodriguez clenched his fists and stomped the football under his feet.

'After taking a four-goal lead, Manchester United's attack slowed down a little bit. Duan Yixuan quickly noticed the change in the situation on the field, "In the past few minutes, Porto has played two consecutive offensive combinations, although it did not threaten Manchester United's goal, but it is obviously different from the first half. ”

Zhang Lu nodded slightly in agreement: "An important signal is that Manchester United's pressing in the front court is gone, and Van Persie, Rooney, Cleverley, and Scholes are obviously not invested enough in defense, which gives Porto players a very comfortable space to advance." Perhaps Ferguson should have taken note of this. ”

Of course, Ferguson couldn't see it, so he raised his chin towards Mulensteen: "Let Danny, Javier, Darren all go to warm up." ”

Muhrensteen drew Welbeck, Hernandez and Fletcher from the bench, and then stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Where is the defense up front?" Wayne! Tom! Can't you run?! ”

Rooney and Cleverley shuddered when they saw the two substitutes who had already started jogging, and at the same time Ferguson's slightly frowning brow.

As he spoke, Cleverley quickly rushed towards Moutinho, who was ready to accelerate, and knocked the emaciated Portuguese to the ground with his shoulder, ending Porto's attack.

"It's a foul!" Moutinho rolled on the turf and sat on the ground and complained loudly to the referee from Italy.

The referee, who was accustomed to seeing fierce scrambling in Serie A, ignored him and directly signaled the game to continue.

Cleverley glanced at Moutinho and sneered away.

After this period of competition, even he has completely understood the characteristics of these opponents: their skills may be more delicate than their own, but in terms of physical confrontation, the smart Li from England can kill all three of them alone!

Seeing Cleverley once again gain the upper hand in the confrontation, even Ferguson couldn't help but nod: "Tom's ball quotient has risen a lot recently, not only is he decisive in tackles, but he is also very clean when he shoots the ball......

The old man was suddenly relieved that he had not loaned him out during the winter break.

With Scholes and Qin Good, Cleverley can still increase his ball quotient.

After 60 minutes, Ferguson instructed the assistant coach to start making substitutions.

Welbeck replaced not Wayne Rooney, but Van Persie, who had some thigh discomfort and feared a recurrence of an old injury, and Fletcher replaced the veteran Paul Scholes - at Ginger's current age, it was very unrealistic to let him play the full 90 minutes, and he did show his immortality in the previous half hour.

The last spot, instead of being reserved for the little pea, who had already warmed up twice, brought on young defender Phil Jones to replace the older Rio Ferdinand.

Hernandez, who was unable to play, put on a winter suit and returned to his position.

"It's time to rest, Javier." Giggs, who had also sat next to him for the whole game, patted him on the shoulder and whispered a word of comfort, "There will be a chance in the next game." ”

Ryan Giggs is right, the next game is three days away, in the FA Cup, so Hernandez is likely to get a start.

Just after the third substitution, the long-lost Fletcher pulled Moutinho on the edge of the box, and the Portuguese midfielder, who had learned his lesson before, was as exaggerated as if he had been knocked down by a train, and the referee did not take out a card, but gave them a direct free-kick.

'It may be cruel to say, but for Porto, a free-kick less than 25 metres from goal is the best chance they ever have. At this time, Duan Yixuan showed the posture of a victor supporter.

'Moutinho and Rodriguez were standing in front of the ball and biting each other's ears, they should be the two better free-kick players in the team. Zhang Lu didn't gloat, he was worried that the young Duan Yixuan had lost his character......

"Moutinho runs...... Is he a cover? Real Penalty Taker Rodriguez! ”

As soon as Zhang Lu's words fell, J Luo kicked the ball, and with a bolt of lightning, the black and white ball arced towards the dead corner of the net!

"The ball speed is not fast, but the angle is very tricky!" Zhang Lu, who was born as a professional goalkeeper, shook his head again and again when he saw this shot, and he knew that this kind of ball was almost a dead end for the goalkeeper.

Because the home team was so sluggish, most of the home fans in the Dragon Stadium who couldn't bear to see the bloody slaughter had long since dispersed, but at this time, the remaining die-hard fans could finally cheer.

However, a large hand held their cheers to their throats.

"De Gea!" Duan Yixuan hugged his head, "He fished back the opponent's shot from the goal line!" ”

The Spanish goalkeeper who jumped up was like a god, he made the most correct judgment between the lightning and flint, and then used his excellent nerve reflexes and bounce power to snuff out a goal that the Porto man wanted to save face!

I just won't let you save face!

Lao Tzu wants a clean sheet bonus!

But that's not all.

Just as Ronaldo hugged his head and exclaimed, De Gea did not stop, and threw the football far away with a strong slam of his right arm.

Manchester United's midfielders are all defending Porto's header in the box, and the three attacking players Rooney, Welbeck and Qin Goode stay in the front of the box to line the wall, who is he throwing it to?

Ferguson's throat suddenly moved, and he saw the young man who was less than 1.75 meters tall chasing the ball at high speed.

Tom Cleverley, he chased the ball.

β€œe-on,e-on!” For the first time, the old gentleman stood up from his seat.

He didn't know if Cleverley would be able to see the whole pitch clearly, and he was worried that the brave lad would waste his chances if his head was hot.

Porto full-back Alex Sandro (who later moved to Juventus) was the only defender to stay near the centre circle and, like Chingold, was born in '91 and was a bit overwhelmed by Cleverley's high-speed dribbling, so he had to keep his distance and drop back quickly while looking for opportunities.

He didn't believe that Cleverley could dribble the ball 60 meters in one breath and then go straight to Huanglong!

That's Messi, that's Kaka, that's Qin Goode and Bale, but that's definitely not your cleverness!

Sure enough, after running less than 20 metres with the ball, Cleverley slowed down significantly.

Sandro perked up and immediately slammed towards him, ready to push the other side to the side.

However, Cleverley reached out to hold him and swept the ball behind him with his right foot......

Sandro turned around in a panic, only to see a cloud of red flames rushing in front of him.

7!

Chingoud started from the moment Cleverley was chasing the ball, and by the time Cleverley slowed down and attracted Sandro, he had already crossed the halfway line!

The game had reached 85 minutes, but he had just come on the pitch and left Rodriguez, who had only played 40 minutes, far behind.

He catches the ball that's rolling!

And then I picked up my thighs!

Porto goalkeeper Elton closed his eyes.

The few thousand home fans left at the Dragon Stadium closed their eyes.

"Bang!"

Elton fell to the back of the net, and the ball fell from the net and hit him right on the head.

Damn it! (To be continued.) )
