29. Liverpool knocks on the mountain and shakes the tigers
September 19, 2007, Porto, Portugal, the weather is sunny and windless!
At 19 o'clock local time, Porto's home stadium, the Dragon Stadium, was already filled with people. Today is the first round of the UEFA Champions League group this season, which is a great attraction for all shijie fans, and all shijie don't know how many fans are paying attention to this game, because this is the most watched game in the group stage played today.
The huge team flag danced over the Bolazzo Porto Stadium with a "brush, brush, brush" sound. However, there was no wind today, which shows how strong the fans are dancing the flag, and it also shows their excitement. And, before the start of the game, brilliant fireworks exploded over the Bolnario Porto Dragons, rendering the night sky over the entire Porto.
The Porto fans are cheering for the Porto team as they want to make it a devil's home stadium and make the Liverpool guys directly scared and soft-legged, so that this game will be much easier.
The melodious music sounded in the loudspeakers of the stadium, and the words accompanied by the rippling songs of the soul sounded in the stands, slowly drifting into the distance, drifting to the place where there were people. Outside the stadium, in the square, and in the ball bar, a large number of fans gathered, and their hearts also swayed with the floating song, and the beautiful wishes rose from their hearts and flew to heaven!
Fernandoto 61 Reis was standing in the tunnel with his heart stirring. Although he has played in a bigger type of competition, he has played in a stadium that has attracted more attention, but the mood is still extremely exciting at this time, it is really an exciting game!
Qiu Ze stood behind Fernando 61 Torres, and he could also feel the excitement in Fernando 61 Torres' heart. Qiu Ze couldn't help but reach out and pat Fernando 61 Torres, signaling Fernando 61 Torres to calm down. Sensing that someone was patting him, Fernando 61 Torres immediately turned his head, and when he found that it was Qiu Ze, he immediately smiled and thanked him.
These two guys have a very good relationship now, the two live very close, often hang out together, and are a pair of loyal and good friends.
With the on-site commentator's commentary, the players quickly followed the referee on duty out of the players' tunnel and stepped into the field. As soon as the home team's players appeared on the pitch, the flashing lights flashed rapidly, and the fans in the stadium shouted excitedly, and some even jumped up and waved into the stadium. At the same time, they also shouted the names of Quaresma, López and others in unison, as if this was their backbone, and with them, the team would have confidence and confidence.
Fernando 61 Torres rubbed his ears that were so shocked that he was sore, and then quickly glanced at the scene, slowly closed his eyes, and used his heart to feel the breath around him, a familiar and unfamiliar smell came, Qiu Ze's heart trembled slightly-Champions Cup, I'm Torres!
At this time, the two teams quickly lined up in the stadium and stood up! The loudspeaker quickly sounded: "Please stand and play the English national anthem!" The fans in the stands quickly quieted down, stood up, and stared solemnly at the flag stand on the stadium, the flag of England, and the melodious music slowly sounded.
As the song sounded, the broadcaster's camera footage immediately slid over the faces of every solemn Liverpool player, which made the England fans in front of the TV watch their blood boil. When the camera was aimed at Qiu Ze, the camera paused for dozens of seconds before moving away.
At the end of the English national anthem represented by the Liverpool team, the Liverpool fans who came from afar cheered excitedly, they were very excited. At this time, the Porto fans were very good at not interfering with the Liverpool fans.
Then the national anthem of Portugal represented by the home team Porto began to be played, and the camera still slid quickly over the faces of the players of the Porto team, extremely solemn.
Soon the Portuguese national anthem represented by Porto also ended, and the stadium burst into jubilation. Then the captains of both sides went to pick sides, and the captain of the Liverpool team in this game was still Steven Gerrard 61, while the captain of Porto was their number one star in the team, the Portuguese superstar Quaresma.
Emmanuel, who had high hopes for Ferreira before the game, did not start, and it seems that Ferreira has found someone else to defend Fernando 61 Torres in this game.
Soon after the ceremony, the two teams and the referee quickly shook hands and left, waiting for them to take a group photo. The starters of both sides quickly gathered together, and then accepted the care of the photographers, and with a few "clicks", the wonderful figures were left in the technological products.
The photographers quickly retreated, and the players briefly moved their bodies. Some stretch their bodies, some even try to feel the ball with their feet, and some players are even exchanging their feelings about the game...... Everything is going on in an orderly manner......
After all the ceremonies were over, the two teams quickly took their positions on both sides, and the referee quickly set the tables and then signaled to the two teams.
At this time, the TV commentators of various countries are rushing to introduce the starting lists of both sides to the fans in front of the TV sets, and the BBC radio commentator John 61 Mortensen is the first to introduce the starting list of the visiting team Liverpool today.
Today, the Liverpool team lined up in a 4231 formation, and the goalkeeper position was Reina, who had a great performance in the last round. In the back four were Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia and Aveloa, and today it was Daniel 61 who was on the bench.
In the midfield position are Steven Gerrard (61) and Xavi (61) Alonso. The scattered people on the forward line are Pennant, Qiu Ze and Kuyt. At the top of the front line is the Spanish golden boy Fernando 61 Torres, which is also the first time that the Spanish golden boy has participated in the Champions League.
Porto is a four-three-two-one formation today, which is slightly different from Liverpool, and it can be seen that Porto is still a little afraid of Liverpool's attack, so they put three people in front of the back line to stop Liverpool's attack.
In the goalkeeper position, Porto came out with Nuno. In the back four are Alves, Joao 61 Paul, Bosingwa and Fusile. In the back three are Assunço, Gonzalez and Moresses. In the forward line, the two are Quaresma and Sektiui, and at the top is López.
"Toot ......" At the moment when John 61 Mortenson had just finished introducing the starting lists of both sides, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the first half of the game between the two sides.
“haode! The match between the two sides has begun, with the home side Porto kicking off first, and today Porto are wearing their dark home shirts, attacking from the left side of the video screen to the right. The visitors Liverpool are wearing their traditional crimson shirts and will be attacking from the right side of the TV screen to the left! John 61 Morteson said immediately.
At the beginning of the game, Porto took advantage of the home advantage to launch a fierce attack on Liverpool. Quaresma is very active, and he seems to be holding back his energy to show in front of Liverpool, as if he is better than Qiu Ze.
Five minutes into the first half, Quaresma seized a chance to shoot, only to be fired over the bar from the edge of the box. This has led to the applause of the Liverpool fans, and you still want to compare with our Chris at your level, you are dreaming.
Naturally, this infuriated Quaresma, and Porto launched a fierce attack. However, Liverpool is not passively beaten, and Liverpool's attack is also a great threat to Porto.
Stephen 61 Gerrard in the middle sent a direct pass, Fernando 61 Torres took the ball with his back and pushed the football in front of him, and the No. 10 Qiu Ze of the Liverpool team who followed the ball shot angrily, and the football flew to the goal of the Porto team like a cannonball, but unfortunately it was slightly off, and the Liverpool team made a mistake and had a very good opportunity.
Of course, the fans of Porto also immediately applauded, in their opinion, Qiu Ze can't be compared with Quaresma at all, Qiu Ze's family doesn't deserve Quaresma's shoes.
However, today's performance desire of these two guys is really strong, you come all at once, I come at once, it seems that both of them are holding back their energy.
Goal, the ball was sent out by Porto goalkeeper Nuno, the ball flew over most of the pitch and immediately came to the Liverpool team's half, Liverpool's Gerrard and Porto's L61 Gonzalez both jumped up at the same time to fight for the ball. The ball was headed over by Steven Gerrard, who was in a better position, and it flew straight towards full-back Kuyt.
Seeing Liverpool's full-back Kuytki take the ball, Porto's full-back Sektiui immediately pounced and headed at Dutch winger Kuyt. The Dutch winger Kuyt, who received the ball, did not stop the ball directly, but directly knocked the ball back into the midfield, and the ball flew directly back to the midfield and came to the feet of Steven 61 Gerrard.
Stephen 61 Gerrard had just caught the ball when Quaresma came up behind him. Gerrard, who caught the ball, pulled the ball back, turned and staggered past Porto's Quaresma, who then turned the ball straight to the left.
Qiu Ze, who ran to the left, caught the ball and immediately shook it past Porto's defender Assunsan, and then he rushed to the Porto team's half like a red Ferrari sports car, Porto team's fullback Bosingwa immediately saved, Qiu Ze, who took the ball, continued to make two false movements, and then successfully went down, crossed with his feet, and the ball drew an arc in the air and flew into the Porto team's penalty area.
This ball is passed very well, which happens to be the most embarrassing position for the goalkeeper and defender, the goalkeeper does not dare to rush to attack, and the defender does not dare to kick immediately, which may create an own goal. So, the ball goes straight past the front point and bends towards the back point.
"Oops!!" Liverpool fans sighed. In their opinion, Qiu Ze passed the ball a little busy, because the attacking players of Liverpool in the middle have not yet followed.
Just when the Liverpool fans were losing this opportunity for the Liverpool team, suddenly the back point of the Porto penalty area flashed red, and a foot was stretched out like lightning!!
Fall to the ground and shovel shot!!
Fernando 61 Torres, a striker from Spain, fell to the ground and tackled, the ball hit his toe right on!! The goalkeeper of the Porto team, Nuno, was so frightened that he subconsciously fell to the ground to save, but this is useless, this distance is a trench, and it can't be touched at all!!
"Fall to the ground and shovel...... Fernando ...... "John 61, the BBC commentator in England, suddenly roared.
The whole venue was full of Liverpool fans jumping!! Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez also rubbed on the sidelines.
It's a pity that the ball smashed on the toe of Fernando 61 Torres, Fernando couldn't control the direction of the ball at all, and the ball grazed the post of the goal and flew out of the bottom line!!
"Oops......" Liverpool fans sighed again!!
"What a pity!! What a pity!! Fernando 61 Torres' luck today is indeed a little worse!! BBC football commentator Marco 61 Laurenson also lamented.
Seeing the football grazing the post and flying out of the bottom line, Fernando 61 Torres on the ground couldn't help but hug his head, regretting that if he had followed up a little faster at the time, then the ball would have been there, and he really regretted not being at the beginning.
"Defend! Keep an eye on that big guy and don't give him a chance!! On the sidelines, Porto coach Ferreira immediately shouted at the Russian players on the pitch, it was so dangerous just now, they almost lost the ball at the beginning of the game, it was really hanging.
Sure enough, as he said before the game, this Spanish striker is their biggest threat, they must keep an eye on this guy, they can't give him such a chance, damn it.
