Chapter 271: The Gospel for the Insomniac

When Notts County did retreat and put on a reckless appearance, Porto really didn't know what to do.

Let's put pressure on the attack in an all-round way, not to mention whether they can score or not, they have one less person, the back line will definitely be wide open, and Notts County's counterattack can easily poke a few holes in them.

If they were attacking on a small scale, it would be impossible to break through the Notts County defence, and they were not gods.

For them, the best situation is that Notts County presses a lot, and then Porto goes to counterattack, but the problem is that it is Notts County who are leading now, and people want to attack for Mao and leave you a chance to counterattack?

At the end of the day, when the score is behind, the initiative of the game is out of their hands.

Notts County were slow at the back, passing the ball to each other at a pace that was much faster than a walk, Carvalho passed to Westerman, Westerman passed to Lahm, and Lahm passed to Westerman, as if there was an invisible man among them who was grabbing the ball, and they were doing the monkey practice that they often do in training.

The Porto fans in the stands were very dissatisfied and let out shrill boos, but they couldn't decide what the Notts County players thought, and this level of boos was really not enough to make the Notts County players scared.

Mourinho frowned, this situation is the last thing he wants to see, but there is no way, who makes them lag behind!

On the other side, Loew, who looked relaxed, leaned on the coach's bench baffle, and when the overall situation was in control, he had enough confidence to be willful.

The players on the field of Porto were a little overwhelmed, and they all looked at Mourinho on the sidelines, hoping to get instructions, whether to just give up the game or rush regardless of it, there must be an explanation, better than they staring at the cobwebs here.

Mourinho knew it was time for him to speak up, standing on the sidelines and making a few gestures, after conveying his orders, he returned to the dugout without hesitation.

Porto's players were a bit dumbfounded, they never thought that Mourinho's instructions were for them to stay where they are and wait for a counter-attack.

The score is behind, and it's already the second half, if you don't attack much, do you really have to admit defeat?

But since the coach said so, they can only do so, Mourinho's prestige in the team is so high, no one wants to go against his instructions.

As a result, the situation on the field became awkward, and while aimlessly inverting his feet, he cowered in his own half and counted the stars, as if the left and right halves were engaged in two completely different movements.

The Notts County fans in the stands were very happy to see this situation, if it was a normal game, they might ask for a certain amount of spectacle, but this is the final of the League Cup, nothing is important to lift the championship trophy, as for the scene is ugly or not, negative or not, who cares!

And the Porto fans are still booing, and this boo is not exactly for Notts County, but also for their own team.

On the opposite side, Notts County is ahead of the score, and it is understandable that people are not in a hurry to attack, but now that you are lagging behind, why don't you hurry up and attack?

Although UEFA President Johansson in the chairman's box couldn't see the abnormality on his face, the light projected between his eyebrows and eyes all showed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

As UEFA, it naturally spares no effort in the promotion of European football, and although the UEFA Cup is not as important as the Champions League, it also has a wide influence because of its long history.

At least on the live broadcast, it has covered most corners of the world, and according to the pre-match statistics, there are really a lot of fans watching this League Cup final at this moment.

If you look at the performance of the two teams on the pitch, the first half was better, there were wonderful factors such as goals and red cards, and the two teams played fiercely, but the second half was as if the two teams had completely changed, ugly and ugly.

Could it be that this is a race that can save insomnia patients all over the world?

David sat in his seat and chatted with Jun Ji-hyun very indifferently, looking at the posture, it is estimated that the game should be stable, although Loew is an offensive school, but it is not a tendon.

Of course, Porto is shameless, and Notts County still needs it, so even if it is negative, it must be done in a decent way, and at least all the responsibility for the negative game must be put on the opponent's head.

Pass forward, pass to the midfield, do as if you want to attack, but before the opponent can intercept head-on, then suddenly pass back, pass and pass, and the time will wear off in the inverted foot.

It's not that we don't attack, it's that Porto have been defending and we can't find space to attack.

That's probably what it means.

The referee didn't know how to dominate the game, and it didn't seem to count as a negative game, after all, Notts County did a decent job and had a lot of momentum, but if they did nothing like this, wouldn't this game be a shame in the history of the European Championship final?

So the referee waited for a while, and after finding that the situation was not improving, he immediately communicated with the fourth official through the intercom.

It didn't take long for a very rare scene on the pitch to occur, when the fourth official on the sidelines called Mourinho and Loew to the sidelines, and solemnly asked them to take the initiative to play, otherwise he would describe the performance of the two teams in the post-match report as a negative game, and what awaited them was destined to be a heavy penalty from UEFA.

Loew didn't bother to explain, laughing and not saying a word.

Negative play? It's not up to Notts County!

Mourinho, on the other hand, did not speak in a very good way.

Looking at the time, it was already 70 minutes in the game, and it was only more than 20 minutes before the end of the game.

It's time to get started!

Mourinho made a few veiled gestures on the pitch, he just didn't want Notts County to be on guard, and Porto's counter-attack was about to begin.

The Porto players who received the instructions were in high spirits, and their eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.

Led by Deco, Porto sounded the horn of a counteroffensive.

Maniche took the ball on the side and ate Kuyt raw with his body, but did not continue to go down, but chose to dribble towards the middle, and after Deco attracted Mascherano's defense, Maniche and Costinha made a wall collision and went directly into the penalty area.

Before Carvalho and Westermann could get on top, the Portuguese midfielder fired a fierce volley past the two Notts County centre-backs and towards the Notts County goal.

It was a successful raid and at least Porto had a shot on goal, which was one of the few scenes that could be seen in this game. (To be continued.) )
