Chapter 611: The problem of not having Zheng is highlighted
"Zheng?"
"What's the situation?"
When the celebrating teammates looked back and saw that Zheng Zhi had slowly walked under the court, everyone was shocked.
"Zheng is injured?"
For Zheng Zhi to suddenly leave the game, the teammates on the field were quite shocked.
All along, they have been accustomed to Zheng Zhi by his side. Usually, if he didn't lead by more than a few goals in the game, Zheng Zhi would not leave the game early.
But the first half isn't over yet, is it?
It's really unaccustomed to all of a sudden, and it's in such an important game.
"Why?"
Ronaldinho blinked his round eyes and wanted to run over and ask Zheng Zhi what was going on.
Emerson also licked his shriveled mouth, and suddenly realized that in the next game, there was no more Zheng Zhi, and he had to take on greater responsibility.
Zheng Zhi put the captain's armband on Novotny's arm on the sidelines, then hugged Gresco before eventually walking off the pitch.
Worrall also walked over, silently patted him on the shoulder, and then beckoned the team doctor to come over, now only hoping that Zheng Zhi's injury will not affect the Champions League final. Now with a two-goal lead, he doesn't think Bayer Leverkusen can be reversed by Porto.
But most people's minds are apprehensive at this point, such as the Bayer Leverkusen fans in the stands.
They are also not used to not having Zheng Zhi.
"It can't be a problem, right?"
"Zheng is not present, can we withstand it?"
"I've always had a bad feeling about it."
"Let's hope these guys won't let us down, right?"
"Oh my God,"
"I'm really worried."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Beep, the whistle sounded, Leverkusen, who lacked Zheng Zhi, still played 451, and LaMelo's position moved from the left to the middle, replacing the vacancy of Zheng Zhi's departure. It's just that the control is definitely not as good as when Zheng Zhi was on the court.
"It's so unexpected,"
"Zheng's departure means that the core is gone, I don't know what Porto will do?"
"Their 433 may be going to play out."
"Although LaMelo is not bad, he doesn't have Zheng Zhi's overall vision and vision after all."
"I think I should bring Balacla back."
"Now Bayer Leverkusen don't need to attack hard, they should hold on to the scoreline."
"Not enough for Porto to want to score three goals in a row without conceding a goal? I think the probability is still very small. β
At this time, Mourinho, who was lying on the railing of the stands, stood up straight again, and his eyes were indeed sharper than before.
Because, he saw hope.
Zheng Zhi is not there, which means that Leverkusen's offense and defense will drop a notch, Porto is not playing hard, when will it wait?
The time for the first half is almost gone, but there is still a second half! Chasing three goals in a row is not a dream!
After LaMelo came up, Bayer Leverkusen changed their style of play. Reduced ball control and more concise passing. After all, there is less brain, less soul. The passing was not as smooth as it used to be, and no one was holding the pace.
LaMelo is just a sapper, and more organizational responsibilities fall to Emerson, but Emerson is not used to being a commander after all, and a large-scale transfer makes a mistake.
After Rudolph on the left side broke the ball, he immediately handed the ball to Deco in the middle, Deco rarely took the ball and burst towards LaMelo, a beautiful croquette pulled the ball continuously, and it actually drilled between LaMelo and Ballack!
"Beautiful!"
There was a chant from the stands, Deco's breakthrough was too morale-boosting!
After coming out of the middle, Deco continued to dribble forward more than three meters with the ball, and then saw the right time, slanted behind Hoffman and Novitney, Candela Hota used his speed to go around from Hoffman's left side to the back, and it was about to form a single knife, Novotny once again boldly made a tackle and shoveled the ball out on the line of the big penalty area, but Rudolph followed up in time and passed the ball to Capcho on the right side before Emerson intercepted, and Capjo did not stop the ball and directly volleyed with his right foot!
Bounce the Earth!
The ball jumped on the turf and flew up quickly, and Matisek, who was standing in front of goal, did not dare to be careless, and lifted the ball off the crossbar with one palm, giving Porto a corner.
"It's so dangerous,"
"As soon as Zheng came off the pitch, Leverkusen's midfield was a bit chaotic, and Porto almost seized the opportunity to pull a goal back."
At this time, the camera was on the bench, and Zheng Zhi had already taken off his autumn coat, revealing his upper body. The team doctor gently probed his left shoulder several times, pinched his shoulder to check his condition, Zheng Zhi frowned tightly, it seemed that although the team doctor's hand was not strong, Zheng Zhi was still in pain.
"It looks like a shoulder injury,"
"No wonder he's going to go down, injuries in this kind of place can't keep him playing, not even physically."
"Now it's up to his teammates to take him to the final."
"Maybe you won't even get a chance to play in the final?"
Porto's corner kick was issued, and there was chaos in Leverkusen's penalty area, Jardel fought the ball down, but there was no power to top it, Neuville cleared the ball with a big foot in the crowd, and Leverkusen escaped again.
But soon Porto's offensive came again, Deco's retreat was quite fast, and after getting the ball, he stuffed the ball again, this time on the side of Kapcho, but he still couldn't get Lucio, and the ball was successfully cleared by Lucio.
Ballack chased after him and collided with the captain of Porto in the air.
"Ah~"
Costa's wail suddenly resounded throughout the audience, and after landing on the ground, he hugged his neck and rolled on the turf.
Beep
The referee's whistle blew quite timely, and as soon as he ran to Ballack's side, he immediately showed Ballack a yellow card.
βοΌοΌβ
"Oops!"
"The worst thing happened."
"Michael Ballack also got a yellow card, so he will have to accumulate two yellow cards and be suspended."
"God, the price Leverkusen paid is terrible."
"Ballack and Emerson have both received yellow cards, so if Zheng Zhi can't play in the final, then who else can play in Leverkusen? You must know that Ribery has also received a yellow card now, and he will be cool if he takes it again. β
Brightnam seems to have seen Bayer Leverkusen appear in the final, and will really play in the final with a semi-main force.
Worrall on the sidelines was also trembling with anger.
Michael!
You scramble, you scramble, but why hit your opponent with your elbow?
Oh, my God
Have you forgotten that you also have a yellow card on your back?
Worrall knew how many yellow cards his disciples had, and now he was really a headache.
Emerson and Ballack are already finished, and now there are Lucio, Knowitney, Ribery and Ronalnidio on the pitch with a yellow card.
Don't have any more accidents, everyone else needs to be well-......
Porto were awarded a set-piece at the back, and after a two-foot pass, the ball fell into the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area, but they couldn't threaten.
Beep
Beep
Beep.
At half-time, the score was still 2:0, and although Bayer Leverkusen was at a disadvantage in the last eight minutes, the score did not change in any way.
Now, Worrall has to think about how to make changes at half-time, he still has two substitutions, but as many as four players are yellow carded!
It's a huge problem.
In the locker room, everyone went to condolences to Zheng Zhi first, at this time Zheng Zhi had a thick bandage on his shoulder, and the actual situation was not very understood, and he could not be diagnosed until he went to the hospital to take a film after the game. He could go now, but no, because he wanted to wait for the results......
"Rest assured,"
"I shouldn't have much of a problem."
"But you must take me to the finals!"
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly, still with a faint smile on his face, he couldn't let his teammates worry about him, he couldn't let his teammates be distracted.
"Playing this game well is more important than anything else."
"I trust you and won't let me down."
"That's for sure,"
"We won't let the chance of the finals slip through our hands, otherwise I won't have peace of mind in my life!" Ronaldinho was rarely serious.
"Me too." Ribery bit his lower lip and said with a green face, Zheng Zhi is his leading big brother, it was Zheng Zhi who led him to grow up rapidly, the eldest brother can't play now, he must do more now.
"Don't worry, man, and me!" Balak also puffed out his chest, "If I can't win this game, I'd rather retire!" β
Worrall stood silently beside him, and these words made him feel very relieved, indicating that everyone had matured a lot, and there was no unexpected panic.
"Yes, we're not going to let that happen."
"You can definitely win the final victory!"
"For Zheng Zhi, for Leverkusen, for us!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the away dressing room, Jose Mourinho was finally able to show his speaking talent again.
"Now, here's your chance,"
"Zheng Zhi goes down, you can completely release your passion."
"They don't have the backbone, they won't be able to withstand our tidal wave! They will fall apart very quickly! As soon as we can score one goal, the second and third goals will follow! β
"Believe in yourselves and believe in miracles!"
"Now is the time to prove yourself, you are stronger than anyone else at the Dragon Course! We're going to score three goals in a row! β
"In the first fifteen minutes, we must grit our teeth and carry out the onslaught to the end!"
"Destroy them!"
ββββββββ
ββββββββ
Zheng Zhi still returned to the bench and sat down, the camera was aimed at him, and he couldn't see his current mood at this time.
But now he was left on the bench, and everyone else ran to warm up. This picture really surprised me a little.
Worrall is expected to make adjustments soon, or he wouldn't have come out of the nest. The main consideration is that there are too many yellow cards on the players on the field.
But he still underestimated Porto's determination and underestimated the morale and tactical impact of Zheng Zhi's departure on Porto. After the restart, Porto's formation was quite high. This is something that has never been seen before in a two-legged match.
Seemingly, they have become a different team entirely.
Dare to press, dare to attack!
The first wave of attack once again played a huge threat, Porto attacked from the left, Secretario's over-the-top cross made Capjo rush up, Gresco's misjudgment of the ball's landing point, let Capcho cut inside with the ball to the right side of the penalty area, Capuccio then reversed the ball back to the line of the penalty area, Deco hit the top left corner of the goal with his right foot, Matty Seck made a beautiful save and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.
Corner kick.
Although he pushed the ball out in the subsequent corner defense, it was still broken by Costa and distributed to the left, and Rubens crossed from a 45-degree angle!
Jadel flicked his head before Lucio, but this time it was too right, and the ball flew straight into Mattysek's arms.
When Matisse tried to throw the ball to his teammates, he found that he was surrounded by Porto players, who were almost one-on-one with their teammates.
In the past, Zheng Zhi would pull the side to catch the ball, but now he is not here.
In desperation, he had no choice but to kick the ball out.
Ribery didn't have an air advantage at all, the ball was lost again, and it was Porto who were attacking with the ball.
However, Bayer Leverkusen have also pressed up, and they have also pressed all over the court and will not give up space to their opponents.
Porto's pass was also wrong, and the ball fell to the feet of Emerson, who immediately crossed the top and played a long ball to Neuville, which flew to the feet of Baia.
Porto's attack is back and it's still on the side. Secretario and Paulinho Santos hit the wall and crossed Ronaldinho before a 45-degree cross!
Jardel and Kambalahota simultaneously attacked the Bayer Leverkusen backline, and the latter was quicker, rushing out of the defence first and volleying directly with his left foot!
Boom β
The sky of the Dragon Stadium is about to be shot out of a hole.
It's high.
At the start of the second half, they had two chances, but both were wasted.
The Porto coach shook his head vigorously on the sidelines, these waves of attacks passed, and the time was not five minutes, and the goal did not come.
Ballack ran back and picked up the ball on the right side of the box, this time Matisek didn't kick the ball off, but Kambala Hota quickly approached Ballack, Ballack could only touch the ball quickly, and Emerson received the ball in the middle and immediately split it for Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho leaned on Paulinho Santos, turned the ball 360 degrees on the spot, and easily left Santos behind, but Santos then reached out and pulled, Ronaldinho failed to start, and the ball was kicked out of the sideline by Santos.
But there is no problem for Bayer Leverkusen, they don't need to score, they need to keep the ball and hold on defensively. Now they wish the pace of the game was a little slower, rather than frantically fighting with their opponents with bayonets.
Emerson came up and kicked the ball back to Martysek, but when he got his kick, Kambalahota rushed up! He didn't intend to give Bayer Leverkusen any time to breathe, he was so fast that he didn't even run back before he appeared in front of Mattysek, who had another big foot.
Mid lane.
Ballack strode towards the ball, this time calming down, first taking a position and letting Rudolph jump, then throwing his back and throwing him off balance in the air.
There was a foul, but it was not a big move, and the referee didn't say anything.
Rudolph's mind is also very happy, and he will take a free kick quickly!
Deco had already diagonally from the left side to pick up, scanning his teammates in front of him with the rest of his eyes as he ran. When he met the ball, he quickly twisted his body and swept the cross directly into the middle with the arch of his right foot!
The pass was fast and sudden, and although Lucio's attention to Jadel was quite focused, Jadel got the ball first, and the latter accelerated sharply, trying to dribble past Lucio, and Lucio subconsciously sped up.
But in the next moment, Jadel braked the car and turned around to pull the ball to the other side! The left foot immediately followed up with a cold shot!
The ball goes straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
It's so fast!
Boom~
At this moment, Novotny held the ground with his left hand, shoveled over with his left foot, and intercepted the ball in a daze!
"Woohoo~"
"What the hell,"
"It's dangerous,"
The ball rolled just outside the box and landed at Ballack's feet.
Ballack immediately crossed to Ribery on the wing, who almost sprinted at a speed and slotted the ball straight away.
Da~
Dada~
Successive acceleration starts, neither Rubens nor Rudolph could stop Ribery. But there was still a Deco there, Ribery saw Ronalnidio, immediately knocked the ball sideways, and then continued to rush forward, but Ronaldinho stuck the ball on the spot again and did not make the ball for Ribery.
βputainοΌβ
The moment Ribery rushed past Silva's side, he directly said a foul word, he thought that Ronaldinho would immediately pass the ball over and give him a counterattack, who knew that Ronalneo had a sticky ball, which was not enough, this thing kicked the ball back to Gresco. The counterattack, of course, did not come out.
When Gresco knocked the ball to Emerson, Ronaldinho moved to the middle to meet and played a wall-to-wall link with Ballack, this time he remembered Ribery, but Ribery didn't run up and the ball was cut off by Rubens.
Ronaldinho looked at Berry helplessly, stood in place and spread his hands, expressing his helplessness towards Ribery.
Ribery didn't intend to discuss it with Ronaldinho and immediately rushed to Rubens, but Rubens handed the ball to Deco.
Deco delivered another penetrating pass and Kambalahota cut inside from the left flank, went around behind Novotny and swept the ball to the back post with his left heel! At the other end, Gresco was also thrown away by Capjo, and after Capjo followed, he shot with his right foot!
Boom β
The ball hangs straight into the top left corner of the goal.
After all, it was scored by Porto.
1::2γ
With an aggregate score of 3:5, they brought the distance back closer.
"No Zheng,"
"There is no organization,"
"Too bad."
"It's useless to have a lot of stars, there must always be a core."
"Now the problem of the lack of Zheng Zhi has finally come to the fore."
"Usually many players perform amazingly and always ignore Zheng Zhi's role, but now it seems that all the problems have been exposed."
