Chapter 280: Two Goals in a Row?
******
All eyes were on the players on both sides in the penalty area vying for good positions, and even the referee warned the grumpy Pepe and Marchena in quick succession before the free-kick was taken.
It was only after the feelings of the players on both sides stabilized a little that the referee blew the whistle.
Beep――
Standing in front of the football, Iello and Albelda were the first to run towards the football, as agreed.
The crowd in the Porto penalty area began to surge, and goalkeeper Baia had to focus on the surging opposing players, ignoring the two who were about to kick off the ball.
At this time, Albelda, who was running abruptly, suddenly stopped, and this change made the three walls of Porto forget to jump, so when Iello kicked the football, the three walls did not react until the football flew over the head of Quaresma in the wall......
Quaresma subconsciously followed the football and quickly turned to look at the football in the air.
The arc of the ball kicked by Iello was very straight, the football barely rotated in the air, and Quaresma, who turned his head, could clearly see the three pentagram stars of the Champions League special football flying in the air.
To his surprise, the goalkeeper Baia, who was standing at the far end of the goal at the moment, was still standing in place and did not make any save.
In fact, Baia didn't want to move, but he couldn't make a good save when he moved, because the speed of this ball was very fast after crossing the wall, and the visual angle was also very tricky, even if he made a move under his feet, it was beyond the whip, so ...... I can only stand there and watch......
When the ball crashed into the net, the entire Dragon Stadium seemed to pause its breath and lost its sound.
But half a second later, the Valencia fans, led by the leader Joe Pooh, cheered excitedly.
Let the whole stadium be left with only their voices.
******
"David Albelda runs! Well? Suddenly stopped...... This is! Be...... Was it Iroh who took the free-kick????????? ”
He Wei's eyes were glued to the big screen, and in his heart he was very eager for Ailo to kick a goal, because Ailo had a record of scoring from this distance!
Half a moment later, his voice was a little higher, and his body stood up from his seat at the same time, and roared hoarsely: "The ball is in!" ”
He was joined by the Spanish commentators, among whom Hyde of Valencia's No. 1 Sports Station had the loudest voice, "objetivoooooooooooooo ”
Immediately after that, his commentator Barry picked up, "This is Ai's fourth Champions League goal of the season!! At the same time, it also surpassed Ronaldinho to the top of the Champions League scorer list!! He is only 19 years old!! I swear!! It's the most talented player I've ever seen, not one of them!!! ”
Compared with the passion of the commentators on the commentary bench, the players on the court celebrated more intensely, and they all ran to Iroh excitedly, screaming loudly, not knowing what to say.
After seeing this set-piece goal, Flores's whole body relaxed, if this game is lost, then the next game will be in trouble.
It's okay, it's okay.
Flat!
******
Although Flores's heart was to win this game, his substitution adjustment did not make it clear that he wanted to win, and he replaced Vicente with Albiol, which was a change to strengthen the midfield defense.
"I really can't figure out why Enrique would replace an attacking player with a defender at this time! With the current offensive momentum of the team, it is not impossible to exceed the score, but ...... Now that he has been replaced by a defender, he should be ready to be satisfied with a draw, right? ”
Hyde questioned Flores' substitution.
He was also dissatisfied with the substitution, and other commentators in Spain thought that Flores' substitution was a conservative approach.
With the arrival of Albiol, the home team Porto made two changes in a row, replacing two attacking players with McCarthy and Anderson.
It seems that Dutchman Adrianse does not want to draw with Valencia at his home turf.
Indeed, because of the news from another venue, Inter Milan has a three-goal lead over the Slovak team Bratislava, if the game ends according to this score, then Valencia will be at the top of the table with two wins and one draw and seven points, followed by Inter Milan with two wins and one loss, Porto with one win, one draw and one loss will fall to third, and the remaining three rounds of matches will be difficult to say, so it is necessary to choke the throat of fate at this time!
Thereupon...... The roles of the two teams began to switch, with Porto taking advantage of the home advantage to attack Valencia's underbelly.
What everyone didn't expect was that Porto did so well on the defensive end, and they were not bad in attack, with Assuncao in the midfield to assist Diego, making Diego more flexible in the midfield, and there were also players like Quaresma and Anderson on the wing.
Especially Anderson, although he is only seventeen years old this year, his appearance is good, which makes Aurelio, a fellow at the level of an uncle, a little at a loss.
But fortunately, Valencia's overall defensive system is quite solid and does not give Porto too many chances.
And again, Porto didn't leave Valencia with a decent chance.
Although Porto's offensive is very aggressive at this time, it has not actually threatened Valencia's attack, like Anderson, who has just played after playing, but after all, he is still a 17-year-old child, no matter how powerful his footwork is, in the Champions League, the highest level of competition, it is inevitable that he will be a little unable to let go, plus his body is still developing, and his physical condition is not the best, as long as Aurelio is a little tougher, he will become honest.
South African striker McCarthy has not been able to find his form since he came on the field, as if he has become uncomfortable after Mourinho left Porto, and he has completely lost the aura that he first arrived in Porto in the 03-04 season, with 20 goals in 29 games, very efficient efficiency.
Now...... Already reduced to a substitute for the bench.
That said, these two substitutions for Adrianse were completely wrong choices.
At present, Porto's attack also relies on Quaresma to threaten Valencia, but Quaresma looked a little exhausted by about 20 minutes into the second half, so Porto's attacking threat was almost zero.
Flores' on-the-spot reaction was very fast, and after seeing Porto's attack scoreless, he hurriedly replaced Aimar with Angulo for an obvious drop in physical fitness, and continued to maintain pressure on Porto's defense.
******
Time passed quickly, and it was eighty-five minutes all at once, and this time it was Valencia's turn to attack.
Moretti and Ayala rounded up Quaresma, who had been stretched out until now, and after a few pushes he was stabbed away by Baraja.
This would not have happened if Quaresma had been fit.
"Hey, that's a shame...... Ricardo's physical fitness is his flaw! ”
The local commentators in Portugal all commented after seeing the football at Quaresma's feet broken......
Back to business.
After 'stealing' the ball from Quaresma's feet, Baraja sent it directly to the feet of Iello, who retreated to the center circle.
Meanwhile, David Villa, Angulo and Albelda all began to accelerate towards Porto's half.
After Porto was equalized, although they strengthened the attack, they still put a lot of effort into the defense, and the four defenders were not allowed to participate in the attack when attacking, so at this time when Valencia switched from attack to defense, the defenders were still very sufficient.
Ailo took the ball, and Bosingwa, who is from Congo's ancestral home, quickly posted it, and to everyone's surprise, he was able to keep up with Ailuo, who had just started.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, did you see our Congolese lightning? He's going to make this Chinese kid unbearable! Haha"
The Portuguese commentator was thrilled to see that Bosingwa was able to keep up with the speed of Aylo.
But at this time, Bosingwa knew that he was suffering, and by this time his physical strength was already insufficient, and he was able to catch up with Iroh just gritted his teeth and insisted, and he could now feel that the whole lung was hot, with less air in and more air out.
At this moment, Elo is not much better than Bosingwa, fortunately, he has insisted on physical training in the past few months, otherwise it is still a question whether he can last until eighty minutes without using the body lì potion.
Iello took about ten meters and found that he did not shake off Bosingwa, who had been following him closely in the game, so he simply stopped accelerating, and then his feet froze, and he knocked the football back with his left heel during the run.
Bosingwa didn't expect Iroh to suddenly knock the football back at this time, a little unable to brake the car, the ball rolled past where he had just run, lost the defensive target, in order to avoid letting Iroh form a breakthrough on the other side, he bent his right foot, quickly adjusted the center of gravity of his body to the lowest, and stabbed the football with his left foot.
But Iroh reacted quicker, flicked the ball back with the outside of his right foot, and then kicked the ball forward with the inside of his foot after he had dodged Bosingwa's tackle.
Georginho saw that Iello broke through Bosingwa, and immediately rushed up to break the ball, Iro repeated his old trick, and his body that accelerated forward staggered again, and used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball horizontally, and deftly dodged Georginho's left foot.
"Beautiful, two people in a row!"
At the same time, the home fans in the stands also let out shrill boos.
After getting past Georginho, Iro didn't continue to dribble the ball because he noticed that his calf was a little jerked under the stop, so he passed the ball to Angullo, who was cut into the wing.
After passing the football, he didn't stop where he was, but continued to run forward, hoping to help his own attack.
After Angulo got the football, Iello and David Villa entered the Porto penalty area left and right, and Pepe and Costa quickly approached as if they were big enemies.
It was at this moment that Angulo suddenly crossed from a distance of 45 degrees diagonally.
David Villa jumped up to the ball at the front point, Costa was experienced and hit the former with his body after jumping, so David Villa didn't hit the ball and the ball continued to fly to the back post.
The front point was not reached, and Pepe, who was defending Iro, immediately became alert, and his arms naturally opened, wanting to block Iroh behind him, but ...... He discovers that Iroh is gone.
