Chapter 267: Leading Advantage

Carvalho didn't care how the loser under him would feel, scoring a beautiful header for a moment, but he was surrounded by his excited and screaming teammates, hugging each other tightly.

With less than five minutes to play, Notts County's first corner, their first shot on goal, gave them the lead, something no one had expected before the game.

At the moment of the goal, Loew sat bored in the coach's box, according to his estimate, if Porto really defended with all their might, I am afraid that Notts County may not be able to score a goal in the first half.

Therefore, even if Notts County won a corner, he didn't particularly care, and still sat firmly in the coach's seat without getting up.

Turning his head to pick up a bottle of mineral water, he lowered his head and twisted the cap of the bottle, but was startled by the exclamation of the sudden memory of the whole field, and then turned his eyes back to the field, only to find that his players had hugged each other.

Depend on!

It can't be a goal, right?

And when he saw the scoreboard that had changed in the next second, a fierce one jumped up from the coach's seat, clenched his fists and celebrated the goal, and the excitement was overflowing.

Mourinho, on the other hand, was full of defeat, he never thought that Notts County would score so early.

His strategy and tactics were to hold on in the first half, even if he didn't score, don't let Notts County score, and then change the situation in the second half.

However, the game had just begun, and his plan was completely frustrated and he prepared in vain.

He saw the goal just now very clearly, and it was Porto's regrettable loss of the top central defender Carvalho, which was the core of the rear that he always wanted, and was quietly sold by the club, and he also gave himself a counterattack as an opponent, which made him say something good!

Could he still pull the president of the club by the neck and question him loudly?

The situation on the pitch has changed dramatically, the balance has been broken, and Porto are completely in a disadvantageous situation.

That's the sadness of a counter-attacking team.

If the defense is in place and the opponent is unable to score for a long time, then the game will drag on and eventually become beneficial to itself, and it will have the capital to defeat a strong opponent.

But what about Porto?

The game started with a goal conceded, the defense had become meaningless, it was a decisive game, falling behind meant being eliminated, and there was only one way to attack.

But Porto are not good at attacking, and if they press hard, it will leave room for Notts County to counterattack, you know, Notts County's counterattack is also extremely sharp.

Is there a second way to go now besides attacking?

Mourinho's face was already extremely ugly.

In the chairman's box, David was very restrained and only clenched his fists to vent his excitement, and did not have particularly passionate movements, after all, the president of UEFA was next to him, and he couldn't be too ostentatious, and he had to have some actions that were in line with his identity.

However, the UEFA president looked at David with a smile and congratulated him, and the UEFA president, as a professional footballer, knows very well what it means to score so early and what advantage Notts County will have in the next games.

"It's your team who should have scored the goal, I thought I'd have to wait a long time to score so quickly! It seems that Notts County is very strong! Jun Ji-hyun was so confused that he almost didn't tell the difference between the two teams.

The smile on David's face was still excited, and he whispered to Jun Ji-hyun: "Our strength is really strong, but this ball really has some luck elements, and the next game will be much better!" ”

Staring at Mourinho in the Porto dugout, David smiled profusely.

If you can't use your strongest means, then what capital do you have to be equal to Notts County.

As many expected, after the restart, the backward Porto slowly pulled out the formation and was ready to attack.

It is true that there are several players with strong attacking power in the Porto team, such as Deco, such as Maniche, in the face of Notts County's overall defense, Porto's attack is difficult to organize effectively, even if there is some cohesion, the damage can be limited, and the threat level is far from catching up with the offensive space left for Notts County because of the gap behind them.

Porto's attacking power in the middle was limited, and Deco began to consciously shift the focus of his attack to the wings, at least Maniche and Alenichev still had a strong impact, sometimes playing a little more concise, but more threatening.

Porto attacked fiercely, Notts County naturally had to take it back, and in terms of strategic posture, Notts County had the advantage, so they could have more options, such as defensive counterattacks.

This is what Porto is best at, so now because the score is leading, Notts County will come out to deal with Porto, and it will be useful for you to use your strongest means to deal with you.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines, the change in the situation did not surprise him, but it does not mean that he has a good way to solve it, if he does not fill in the hole of the score, even if there are 10,000 gullies in his chest, he can't show it.

Deco is the player who runs long on the field of Porto and is also the player who passes and receives the ball the most, but at this time on the field, there is a feeling of crying and laughing.

Notts County are very strong, he knew that before, but he didn't have such a close and intuitive understanding, and now that he is really an opponent, he can feel it completely on the field.

He's glad that Notts County have such quality, and with his own, isn't it like a tiger with the wings of a tiger that he can't do next season.

But the problem is, here and now, he is playing for Porto, and as a professional player, no matter who the opponent is, his only goal is to win the game, even if the opponent is his real club.

Then play well, show your strength, and show your best side in front of your club.

Deco is very clear that there are some things that he must do, if he returns to Notts County next season, Loew must support himself as the core of the midfield, at least one of the two cores, and he must show a matching performance, otherwise how can he convince the public!

Thinking of this, he ran more actively.

Porto were in high demand, with Deco and Maniche threatening the Notts County goal with long-range shots through a combination of wide passes and a combination of wings.

Diego López is a bit busy, even if most of Deco and Maniche's long-range shots will be wide of the goal, but he still has to be careful, who knows which one happens to be on target!

He doesn't want to be the background of the opponent's goal! (To be continued.) )
