When the game time came to the 64th minute of the second half, seeing that the team was still engaged in a hard battle with Manchester United, and there was no obvious opportunity to equalize the score, Mourinho on the sidelines was really anxious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, he did not immediately blindly increase the number of strikers on the field, and his conservative personality led him to use the same strategy as in the first leg - replacing Alberto with Lithuanian striker Jan Kauskas, and preparing to use high-altitude bombardment against the temporary centre-back duo of Gary Neville and Brown.

Although the tricks are a little old, the effect is still excellent. Because, this is a problem that Ferguson cannot solve at the moment, Silvestre's injury and Rio Ferdinand's ban have already caused a major crisis in Manchester United's reserves in the central defender position, and he is simply unavailable. Although there is still a trick of calling young centre-backs from the youth team on an ad hoc basis, Ferguson would not dare to use a young centre-back with no professional experience on such an important occasion as this game, even if he likes to promote young players.

Although Gary Neville is a full-back, he has a natural discomfort and problems when playing at centre-back, but in comparison, he is already one of the most comfortable central defenders in Ferguson's mind.

It's certainly a big problem for Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, but it's also a big problem they have to overcome. Since you naturally suffer in this position, you must make up for it with hard work and sweat.

Looking at Porto's sudden increase in attack on the field, and the Manchester United backline that became flustered because of this, Ferguson on the sidelines had a solemn and determined face. The difficult situation on the pitch in front of him made him unable to relax, but he had full confidence in his players.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Porto's attack had become significantly simpler, no longer pursuing a continuous small range of cooperation between the two wings, and when there was a chance, they passed directly into the penalty area, which was to focus on Manchester United's short-staffed central defenders.

However, simplicity doesn't mean it's ineffective. Although Porto are not a team that is good at high balls, they have always been able to dominate against a Manchester United team that lacks centre-backs.

This time it was the case, and when Deco, who had been pulled to the wing, once again passed the ball to the heads of the two tall centre-forwards, McCarthy and Jan Kauskas, Gary Neville, who played at centre-back, was once again physically bullied. When McCarthy pressed him to head the ball back to Alenichev on the left-hand line, the Russian international then sent the Old Trafford stadium gasp again with a subtle left-footed half-volley that flew just over the crossbar.

Although the attack failed to score, it was extremely successful. The Porto players, who were thrilled by the imaginative reality that they would be able to knock out Manchester United with just one goal, were on full swing on the pitch, and Porto's attack began to become more and more intense.

At this moment, not only the commentators are talking dryly, but even the fans are so nervous and serious that they don't blink their eyes, for fear of missing any details that could turn the whole game around, they all know that the final battle has begun!

At the same time, Porto's desperate frenzied offensive on the field began to bear fruit, and the game began to tilt in their favor temporarily.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Valente, who had the assist in the back, forced a cross from the left to give Porto a corner. In the end, McCarthy took the lead in grabbing the first landing point. Had it not been for Gary Neville's interference, he came close to netting his third goal over two legs against Manchester United.

Just three minutes later, Porto's high ball into the United box managed to cause chaos again. Under the desperate interference of the Porto players around them, Fletcher and Brown failed to clear the ball with two consecutive kicks, and finally allowed Deco to successfully control the football under the danger of being kicked by Brown, and then calmly sent a delicate inverted triangle return pass to Maniche in front of the goal near the baseline.

This time, United's defence was completely disjointed, and there wasn't even a single United defender around Mani when he got up to shoot. In the end, Maniche's low right-footed shot was thrillingly slightly off the goal, but it really tested Ferguson's old heart, making the old coach's face instantly red.

On the other hand, Jose Mourinho was mad at the performance of his own players in a row of wasted opportunities. Standing in front of the Porto bench after Maniche's shot went wide of the post, he was like a madman, frantically waving his fists and scolding Portugal's national curse.

Seeing that time was getting shorter and shorter, he was really anxious.

At the same time, Ferguson, who had just swallowed the heart back into his stomach, couldn't sit still. Originally, he wanted to wait until he survived the last most fierce attack of Porto on the field before making substitutions, but at this time, the goal was a little precarious, and the situation of all the soldiers had to make him change his mind.

"Cristiano, go warm up!"

The old coach knows very well that the current Manchester United lineup on the field is almost the strongest defensive lineup that Manchester United can put out, when this lineup can not prevent Porto's high-altitude ball bombardment, can not solve the stubborn problem of the central defender position, even if it is useless to increase the number of defensive players, so he must boldly replace the defense with attack, increase the threat of Manchester United's counterattack, so as to reduce the huge pressure on the Manchester United defense.

It was a risky decision similar to fighting poison with poison, but it was the best strategy Ferguson could come up with so far.

After hearing Ferguson's shout, Ronaldo, who was sitting next to Li Lei, immediately jumped up excitedly. Like Li Lei, he couldn't sit still for a long time, and the feeling of not being able to participate in such a fierce game happened almost suffocated him.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also a lack of pride. With a smile on his face, he immediately glanced at someone with colorful hair next to him defiantly, and he looked at the young master's underwhelming posture.

If it were ordinary, Ronaldo dared to look at him like this, and Li Lei would definitely have a-for-tat. But given the difficult situation of Manchester United on the pitch at the moment, he didn't have that mind.

However, it is impossible to make him swallow his anger. Taking advantage of Ronaldo's taking off his coat, he leaned over and threatened in a low voice: "Don't be complacent, you 'little white-faced water delivery worker', don't be embarrassed if you don't behave well when you play." ”

"Just look, poor 'substitute'!"

Ronaldo didn't care at all, only when Li Lei was envious, jealous and hateful, and after replying-for-tat, he immediately rushed out of the bench at full speed to warm up. If you can warm up quickly, you can get on the field quickly, this is what Ronaldo, who was going crazy before, wants to do the most at present, instead of arguing with Li Lei.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Lei was really jealous of Ronaldo who could play at the moment. Looking at the background of Ronaldo's rapid departure, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched unhappily.

At this point, Ferguson happened to be back in his dugout and wanted to discuss some tactical set-ups with Phellan. Seeing this, Li Lei didn't even have a brain, and blurted out directly: "Head, how about replacing me on the field?" ”

After saying that, Li Lei regretted it.

Looking at Ferguson's stern eyes that unexpectedly glared at me, the meaning of what kind of trouble you bear child made for me at this time was simply beyond words, and Li Lei, who didn't dare to touch Ferguson's brows at this time, could only smile and bow his head and didn't say anything more.

However, although his mouth was closed, his mind did not stop.

Whether it is the increasingly strong sense of uneasiness in his heart at the moment, or his natural aggressive personality, he can't stop the strong desire to play in his heart.

This desire is like magma in a volcano.

Boiling hot!

Boiling again!!
