Porto went into the break with a one-goal advantage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the locker room, some players felt that the victory was in hand, and their faces were full of relaxed smiles. There are also players, such as Martinez, who are frustrated because they have wasted too many opportunities, and their faces do not look good.

"Before the game is over, a one-goal lead is the least safe score in the world," Pereira said, "and you think I'm satisfied? Do you think Malaga just threw in the towel? Hey, I don't see it that way. ”

Seeing that the players were focused, Pereira laid out the tactics for the second half.

"Silvestre, Ho, I need you to be a little bit more forward and be more dangerous to their goal." Pereira looked at Martinez with his head drooping again, "Jack, don't worry, there will always be a chance to score." In the second half you pull out a little bit and pay attention to creating space for both of them. ”

"Cheer up, guys," Pereira clapped his hands, "we're a big club, but we haven't been in the last eight of the Champions League for many years, and it's not like a big club. Don't think about the next away game, let's just get a ticket to the top 8 right here, at the Dragon Stadium! ”

Pereira's rhetoric is not unfounded. The difference between the two sides in the first half was indeed quite large, with a shot ratio of 13:3 and a shot on target ratio of 8:1, with Malaga having few decent chances at all.

If Martinez had been better at taking chances, the score would have been 2-0 or 3-0 now.

For a resilient team like Malaga, it is necessary to take advantage of his illness and take his life. If you don't take advantage of Malaga's poor form and take advantage of the home advantage to win more goal difference, and wait until you go to the Rose Garden Stadium, I am afraid that it will be uncertain again.

After the start of the second half, Porto's players found their opponents almost completely retreating into the box. But once Porto get the ball into the area close to the penalty area, they are met with stubborn interception.

In the face of such an iron bucket formation, Porto also has no good way. It will definitely not work to walk on the ground, if you go in the air, Martinez is 1.88 meters tall and can still fight for headers; Shi Hao and Barrera are not enough.

Several times the captain of the 1.85-meter-tall captain Lucho. Gonzalez rushed into the box to act as a second striker, but it wasn't a long-term solution.

After a long period of inactivity, Porto began to try to shoot from distance again. However, the best long-range shots in the team were Shi Hao, Izmailov and J Rodriguez, but the latter two were not on the field at this time.

The second half was deadlocked for more than ten minutes, and Porto didn't get too many chances, although there were shots, but only quantity and no quality.

Seeing that the team couldn't break through the dense defense, Pereira couldn't sit still and could only call Izmailov up to warm up. As for Ronaldo, it is true that he has been tired and in poor form lately, and Pereira does not plan to put his hopes on him.

However, the next scene caused Pereira to call Izmailov back.

In the 57th minute, Shi Hao once again rushed along the right side and broke through Antunes' defense. In a place parallel to the line of the penalty area, Shi Hao suddenly cut inside with the ball, and in the face of Itura, who was filling in the position, Shi Hao shook a shot and continued to cut inward, but suddenly changed the line and broke through to the bottom line.

This feint was so realistic that Antunes, who was chasing after Shi Hao, made a big mistake and collided with Itura, and the two fell to the ground almost at the same time.

Such a great opportunity, how could Shi Hao miss it! He accelerated again and rushed towards the small penalty area.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wellington left Martinez and pounced on Shi Hao. Taking advantage of the gap when Wellington had just run away and Tulalang had not yet made up for it, Shi Hao quickly stuffed the football to Martinez.

Martinez wanted to shoot straight at goal, but Demichelis had already circled to his side to block his shot. At this time, someone behind him shouted, and Martinez had an idea, and his legs were separated and leaked. At the back post, Moutinho rushed to the ball, flicked it away from Sanchez's press, and calmly fired a low shot. Caballero can't make a save, Porto leads by two goals!

"Shi Hao passed, Martinez leaked! Moutinho shoots! The goal is scored, 2:0, Porto lead the opponent at home! The biggest contributor to this goal was Shi Hao, who caused the goal after successive passes on the wing," Duan Wenxuan said, "but Martinez also contributed a lot, and he missed that was really clever." ”

Liu Jiayuan said: "Whether it is from the performance on the field or from the data, Shi Hao has completely exploded the European golden boy Isco in this game. One pass and one shot, hehe, can show such a performance in the Champions League, Shi Hao will definitely be coaxed by various giants at the end of the season. ”

Duan Wenxuan usually pays more attention to various transfer gossip: "It is said that Paris Saint-Germain has reached a preliminary agreement with Shi Hao, maybe next season we will be able to see Shi Hao represent Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League." ”

Liu Jiayuan nodded and said: "Although Porto is also a giant, in the atmosphere of modern football, there is an irreparable gap with other mainstream European giants. If Shi Hao wants to achieve something, he still has to go to the five major leagues to prove himself. It is only in a team of Paris Saint-Germain's level that he has the possibility of winning the Champions League trophy, which should not be possible in Porto. The 2004 treble had exhausted two decades of Porto's luck. Maybe the situation on the field was too obvious, Liu Jiayuan explained it very easily, and he actually made a joke in the end.

With two goals in hand, Porto began to slow down the tempo and focus more on the defensive end. Now what they have to do is not to continue to extend the lead, but not to allow the opponent to score away goals.

In terms of European experience in recent years, Porto is much richer than Málaga and has done a good job of controlling the tempo of the game, Málaga can only be led by the nose.

And Isco, the new European golden boy, did seem a little lost in this game, and was completely at a disadvantage in the comparison with Shi Hao.

Porto didn't keep a close eye on him, at least not like Málaga did against Shi Hao, but he always seemed hesitant to take the ball, dribbled too much and didn't form an effective breakthrough, and never showed a convincing performance.

It is believed that if Torino Sports Newspaper chooses the Ballon d'Or after this game, he will definitely lose the title.

In the 70th minute of the game, Porto had another good chance. Shi Hao won the ball in midfield, cut directly inside past Isco (it really wasn't intentional), took a few steps forward and used a graceful Marseille slalom to avoid Tulalang's up-and-go, and then hoisted a long ball directly into the penalty area.

The ball arced over Wellington's head, through the middle of Demichelis and Sanchez, and landed exactly in front of Martinez. Martinez received the ball and went straight to the ball. But in the face of Caballero, Martinez appeared to be not calm enough, and a low shot hit Caballero directly in the chest. When he tried to make up again, the ball had already been destroyed by Sanchez's big foot.

After the football went out of bounds, Pereira replaced Shi Hao with Izmailov. There were then changes to both sides, with Porto having some good chances but never being able to change the scoreline as they stepped onto the Rose Garden with a 2-0 advantage. (To be continued.) )
