Chapter 601: Persistent Victory

"Frank Ribery,"

"The youngster from Boulogne-sur-Mer in France continues his impressive performances, scoring three times in a row in the Champions League."

'It's an important goal.'

'He's now held high in the air by Ballack, cheering on more than 50,000 Bayer Leverkusen fans.

"Bayer Leverkusen is known as the new generation of Ajax, they live up to their reputation, Ribery who is less than 18 years old has already blossomed on the European stage, and the future is limitless, it is estimated that he will not be able to stay at Bayer Leverkusen next season."

"Of course, the biggest credit for him being able to score this goal belongs to Zheng Zhi."

"Zheng Zhi has been in the backfield for a long time, defending Porto from counter-attacking, but this time he took the initiative to attack, played a wall-hitting combination with his teammates, and then shook three defenders in a row in front of the big penalty area and passed the ball to Ribery."

"World-class performance!"

"It is said that Ronaldinho has the strongest breakthrough ability in the Leverkusen team, I think there is no doubt about this, but at the critical moment, it is Zheng Zhi's breakthrough that works, Ronaldinho can't play, Zheng Zhi is Leverkusen's thickest thigh. Of course, Ribery also has a big heart, and he picked the ball into the net steadily. ”

In Porto's dugout, head coach Santos and assistant coach Jose Mourinho looked at each other and saw the loss in each other's eyes. It's so depressing to lose the ball in this way. The first 35 minutes were excellent defensively, barely giving Leverkusen any chances, but this time, the team's defence was breached.

Alas......

The two men gasped almost at the same time.

What to do?

Behind.

Or do you want to keep defending and looking for a counterattack?

Santos' gaze became complicated and he looked at Mourinho again.

At this time, Mourinho was also in a very depressed mood, and when he met Santos's gaze, he spoke.

"We still have to defend."

"Now is definitely not the time to attack."

"Falling behind by one goal is not losing,"

"We still have to be patient and wait for our chances."

"If you don't calm down, it will be even worse."

Despite falling behind and frustrated, Mourinho was determined and never doubted his tactics. It can only be said that a small mistake on the field ruined the result of the first 35 minutes.

But if they come out now, it will definitely make Leverkusen laugh and they would love Porto to press and play, so that Leverkusen will create more chances to score, and they are more capable of doing so.

If you give up the encirclement of Ronaldinho now and give up the concept of defensive counterattack, the result will be miserable, and you can't even see hope.

Now you have to calm down and continue the fight.

"Hmm,"

Santos nodded, no suspicion of employing people, no suspicion of suspicion. That's what he thinks, and he can't be in a hurry at all. Then he immediately grabbed Drulovic on the sidelines and said two words......

Beep

The whistle drew everyone's attention back to the pitch.

Porto still endured and continued to deal with Bayer Leverkusen. This really surprised Worrall on the sidelines.

Don't press it out?

Oh, God.

Do they think the score is ahead? It's good that we don't have more pressure on our defence.

So, I'm not considering a substitution for the time being?

Unexpectedly, he also thought of the bright side, central defenders Lucio and Novotny are both carrying a yellow card, if the defensive pressure is too high, it is likely to take the card again, now it seems that it is not needed for the time being.

In addition, Zheng Zhi also came back, standing quite behind, he originally wanted to explain Zheng Zhi's two sentences, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhi's reading ability to be so strong that he didn't need to open his mouth.

Porto's attack is still a little weak, although Deco tried to organize a more effective attack, but the teammates on the two wings were not angry, it was difficult to push the attack up on the two wings, Deco had to make a fuss in the middle, but Zheng Zhi and Emerson's defense in the middle was also like an iron wall, and finally Deco tried to shoot from a distance on the periphery, but the shooting footwork was not mastered well, and an offensive opportunity was wasted.

Subsequently, Leverkusen controlled the rhythm, the offensive intensity was also not large, several times advanced to the front of Porto's big penalty area, but did not find a good opportunity, the ball passed back to the backfield, and the continuous deep passes did not seduce Porto's players, Porto's tactical execution ability is quite strong!

Ronaldinho on the left couldn't bear the loneliness, he crossed from the left side to the middle in the 40th minute, his right foot went straight through, the ball was blocked by the defender and bounced into the air, Ballack stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and Emerson shot low from 16 meters in front of the goal!

However, the ball was saved by Baia and deflected off the near post.

From the corner, Ronaldinho drove the ball into the middle of the box, Ballack was knocked down by Costa without the ball, he thought the opponent had committed a foul, sat on the turf and waited for the referee to blow the whistle, but the referee did not interrupt the game. Deco, who picked up the ball on the edge of the box, immediately sent a long ball over the top and sneaked up behind the Bayer Leverkusen defence.

There was only one Capjo in front of him, and the other striker, Jadel, was still in his own penalty area.

At this time, even Kirsten plans to theorize with the referee! I don't have a long memory again!

"Here we go again!"

"Lucio didn't have time to come back,"

"Fortunately, there is also Zheng Zhi,"

It's too late, it's fast, Zheng Zhi and Novotny are clamping towards Capcho at the same time, Novotny is responsible for jamming Capcho, and Zheng Zhi jumps first and directly pushes the ball back into his own penalty area.

A perfect defense!

Capjo couldn't play at all.

"Tsk, look at Zheng Zhi, how calm he is, if it is replaced by Lucio or Novotni, it is estimated that they will start, their first thought is to use fouls to stop the opponent, but Zheng Zhi firmly pushed the ball back to Matty Seck. I often think that if Zheng Zhi plays at centre-back, he is also world-class. ”

Zheng Zhi immediately pulled the side and got the ball back on the right side. The team-mates were still not fast enough, but it was Shainho who took the lead in pressing. He wasn't in a hurry and knocked the ball to Hoffman.

However, Hoffman made a mistake under the pressure of Drulovich! Hurriedly cleared the ball with a big kick, but the ball was kicked on Drulovich and bounced towards Deco, who followed the ball and immediately sent a diagonal kick with his right foot.

Swish~

Zheng Zhi turned around and wanted to take a kick, but it was a fraction of a second! The ball rolled under his nose to the feet of Jadel on the right, and Jadel finally came up. Taking advantage of the inertia in his speed, he took two steps and knocked Lucio who was following him to the side, and shot directly at the ball!

Boom –

A burst shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the middle of the goal.

The angle was too positive, but the speed was strange, and Marty Sek, who was standing in front of goal, barely reacted, but he still had a chest, and the ball hit his chest and bounced out, but he couldn't grasp the ball with both hands.

Porto's other striker Capjo shot like an arrow, almost head to head with Novotny, the two of them carried each other and rushed to the ball, and finally he stabbed it first, the ball was about to jump over Mattysek's head, at the critical moment, Mattysek finally reacted, and slapped the ball with one hand, the ball rolled out again, and Emerson quickly kicked the ball out of the bottom line.

Corner kick.

"It's too dangerous!"

'Every attack by Porto was dangerous, I thought the goal was going to go in.

At this time, Porto's two central defenders came up, and seven of them went directly into the Leverkusen penalty area, which was too terrifying. Set-pieces, corners, are one of the few attacking opportunities and they will certainly make the most of them.

All the Bayer Leverkusen players returned to the box, with the diminutive Kirsten and Franck Ribery guarding the posts on either side respectively, while the others piled up in the box to mark and defend.

"In terms of height, Bayer Leverkusen don't have any advantage in height, they are the shortest team in the Bundesliga on average."

"You still have to be pretty cautious about defending corners."

With so many Porto players in the big penalty area at once, the Leverkusen players are really not used to it, and the vice-captain Novotny constantly directs his teammates to defend, for fear that his teammates will miss people.

There was chaos in the box, all kinds of pushing and physical contact, the referee blew the whistle several times in a row, there were too many small movements by the Porto players, and almost everyone was pulling the Leverkusen players in the box.

Deco stood at the corner flag, staring at Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area and was in no hurry to get the ball out. When the eighth player, Shainho, suddenly rushed forward from outside the box, Deco stepped in. Almost at the same time, teammates in the middle of the penalty area also frantically squeezed to the front point, taking almost all the Leverkusen players away!

With a whew, the ball crossed the sky, but it didn't fall to the front point, but to the back point! Jadel's figure quickly broke free from the crowd and ran back as fast as he could!

Oops!

Zheng Zhi and Lucio saw Jadel's strange running position almost at the same time, although neither of them followed him, but Porto captain Costa suddenly blocked in front of Zheng Zhi, and only Lucio and Jadel were released to win the top spot.

Jadel took the first step forward, blocking Lucio's path, Lucio seemed to hit a big rock, and when he tried to break free, Jadel took advantage of the opportunity to jump! The body also dived forward more than a meter!

It's really bad this time~

Lucio jumped up and down, hoping to put his head on Jadel's head, but he couldn't reach it.

Zheng Zhi walked around Costa and took a look.

"Grass!"

Duangβ€”β€”

Jadel slammed his head and the ball's path was changed instantly, and the ball flew towards the top right corner of the goal.

I grass! Ribery, who was guarding the right post, jumped up with all his might, but still couldn't touch the ball, and the ball flew into the goal from above his head, which was really annoyed that his parents didn't make him taller......

"Alas, the ball is in!"

"Jadel."

'The Brazilian striker scored his 51st goal of the season.

"Won in a header fight with fellow countryman Lucio."

"It was a snappy goal."

"1:1, the two sides are back on the same starting line."

Huang Jianxiang's commentary is weak, he must be from the position of Leverkusen and Zheng Zhi to explain the game, so he can't be excited about this goal, but very disappointed.

'With such passivity, Porto equalised. It's unexpected. ”

'Porto have been so good both offensively and defensively. Of course, it's not that Bayer Leverkusen's performance is bad, but Porto are even better. ”

"I think this corner is also very tactically designed, almost everyone runs forward, but Jadel suddenly hit the back post, before that, Jadel has been looking for opportunities in the crowd, and he just went to the back post."

Lucio:......

For the first time, he found that he underestimated Jardel, and this time the confrontation was a complete defeat, and the previous confrontation outside the big penalty area, he felt that Jardel was not as evil as the media reported. But this goal, Jardel's ability is at a glance. What did Jadel do when he hit the goal with a header?

"Don't think about it,"

"Keep defending well."

Zheng Zhi patted him on the back, stared at the celebratory figure of Jadel, and said in a deep voice, "It will be us who will win, and we will continue to beat them with goals." ”

"There's nothing a defender doesn't make mistakes, just be more cautious."

"I didn't expect to be blocked, otherwise I wouldn't have lost it."

Zheng Zhi still blamed himself a little, if it wasn't for Costa who blocked him halfway, he should have been able to keep up with Jadel, two people against one, there is still a good hope to prevent Jadel from reaching the ball.

But it's too late to say anything now, Jadel still scored, and the score was still 1:1.

At this time, the Bayer Arena was full of cheers from the Porto fans, and the Bayer Leverkusen fans stood in the stands, completely unaware of their mood. Obviously pressed Porto to attack, but the opponent scored a goal and equalized?

It's so hard to accept!

"I can't accept it,"

"How did you equalize?"

"The opponent doesn't have many offensive opportunities, but every time the threat is quite big."

"Lucio's defense just now was too poor, and Jardel's header was too calm."

"Alas,"

"Sure enough, it's a magical beast, I can't look down on it."

……

……

In the dugout, Santos and Mourinho hugged each other fiercely and celebrated passionately. It's a persistent victory, even if it's just an equaliser. But the goal convinced Santos and Mourinho that their tactics were the right one and that they could continue to use them against Bayer Leverkusen.

"JosΓ©,"

"We did it, we did it!"

Santos was even more agitated than Mourinho, constantly shaking Mourinho's shoulders.

In fact, Mourinho is also very excited, but he is more restrained, he is not a manager after all, he can't dominate, Porto proved that his style of play is effective, desirable, and restrained in the face of strong opponents in front of his tactics.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch, the time of the first half was almost over, it was estimated that it ended in a draw, but the battle is not over yet, there are still 45 minutes left, the time of the halftime is quite important, and we must continue to implement the ideas for the players!
