It was Quaresma who took the corners for Porto, who was the most technically good and the heart of the attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Porto were technical, their centre-back Bosingwa and midfielder Assunço both had excellent headers and Liverpool were not to be careless, and after Quaresma's corner, Carragher headed the ball over the line before everyone else.

Porto continued to serve a corner on the other side, but it was still Quaresma who took the penalty.

The last time Quaresma took a high-spin ball, this time he changed his style of play and sent a low fast ball that flew fast into the box to find his player in front of him.

Liverpool defended very well from set-pieces, and even with Quaresma taking a penalty from the spot, Liverpool's midfielders didn't miss a beat, with Pennant rushing over to get the ball out of the box before Porto midfielder Mariano.

Porto continue with corners!

In less than two minutes, Porto have won three corners, and although the first two were snatched by Liverpool's players, the ball flying around in their own box was also very worrying, and Liverpool's fans, substitutes and coaches were all serious and obviously not optimistic about the start.

Liverpool's main players on the pitch were not as relaxed as the previous two corners, everyone was nervously greeting their teammates and cheering each other on, obviously recognising that the opponent was really not to be underestimated today.

It was Quaresma who took the penalty this time, and he learned the lesson of the previous two times when he was caught by Liverpool players, and this time he took a free-kick with great speed and spin, which was a great test of the defender's header and mentality, because if he was not careful, he could create an own goal.

But England is worthy of being the originator of long passes, this time Porto's attacking players still did not compete for Liverpool's defenders, the ball was grabbed by Liverpool defender Finnen, and this time Finnan did not go to the bottom line, but to the periphery of the penalty area.

Seeing that this time there was finally no need to watch the ball fly over their penalty area, the Liverpool fans in the stands applauded happily, but before their applause could fall, the ball was once again pushed back into the penalty area by the Porto players standing on the periphery.

When Finnan's header cleared, the Liverpool players relaxed a little, the ball was suddenly blocked back into the box, and the defense was half a beat slower than the excited Porto players, and it was only 0. Within a second, the spot was snatched up by Porto midfielder Lucho Gonzalez, who flicked his header eight yards out and the ball went straight into the corner.

The secondary attack is the most difficult to watch out for, because the defensive formation is out of order, and the goalkeeper's sight and concentration are distracted, and it is very difficult to save such a shot.

Liverpool fans were terrified to see Lucho Gonzalez's header into the back of the net, and it was only two minutes into the game, but Porto had already had a number of attacking chances and this time it looked like they were in danger.

In the opening game, Liverpool up and down were almost stunned by Porto's onslaught, but only goalkeeper Reina quickly entered the state, of course, this is also a passive state, he reflexively pounced at this critical moment, and blocked the ball from the bottom line again with his fingertips.

"Phew" Liverpool fans let out a sigh of relief, and only then did their hearts enter their stomachs.

Just over two minutes into the game, Porto had already had four chances to attack, a dangerous shot on goal that would have been cleared by Lucho Gonzalez had it not been for Reina's bravery.

While Porto was about to send the fifth corner, Liverpool's manager Benitez hurried to call Gerrard over and arranged some emergency measures to suppress Porto's arrogant attack.

The so-called emergency measures are actually at this time to shrink the defense, increase the intensity of the defense, first stabilize the situation and prevent Porto from gaining momentum, and then talk about other things.

Now Porto's momentum has risen, the attack is very spiritual, after four consecutive corner kicks directly into the penalty area, this time suddenly played another tactical corner, the ball passed to the front of the penalty area, Quaresma quickly ran to the corner of the big penalty area, the ball from the front of the big penalty area and back to Quaresma's feet, while the defender has not come up, Quaresma volleyed directly into the left edge of the penalty area.

The tactical corner was sudden, but goalkeeper Reyna was in good shape and got to the near corner in time, but Quaresma's shot was too fast for Reyna to leap up and the ball grazed the crossbar in the near corner.

Porto's attack once again sent an exclamation from the stands, and it also strengthened Liverpool's determination to shrink temporarily, and it was obvious that the goal was a little more serious than the face.

The ball was finally back at Liverpool's feet, but Liverpool wanted to slow down the pace of the game, but Porto refused to let go, and when Reyna passed the ball to the defenders, Porto's forwards and defenders immediately came to press.

Liverpool has never been a possession-based team, there is only one possession team in the Premier League, Arsenal, in the face of the opponent's pressing, there used to be Alonso's possession and long passes, which is a very sure way to attack, you can directly hand over the ball to your own striker control, forming a wave of attack, now there is no Alonso, there is no spectrum of long passes, the ball can only be given to the fullbacks, so that the fullbacks and fullbacks to break through.

The ball passed to Finnen's feet, and Finnam quickly passed the ball to Pennant, who came back to answer, and after passing the ball, he also ran forward, trying to push the battlefield to the midfield, after all, it was too dangerous in his own backfield, and the opponent could shoot after losing the ball.

However, Porto's scramble is very fast, Pennant has to face Porto's midfielder Paul when he gets the ball, Pennant is also a technical stream in the Premier League and Liverpool, but it is still a bit rough compared to Porto's players.

Pennant feints with the ball and tries to get past Paul, but Paul doesn't eat Pennant's shake at all, and falls to the ground and breaks the ball when Pennant tries to accelerate.

The ball was back at Porto's feet, and it was the in-form Quaresma who was still in possession.

Finnan wanted to give Quaresma a dismissal, and when Quaresma got the ball, he made a flying tackle, ready to use a foul to block Porto's attack.

However, Quaresma is known as a talented teenager, and his technique and awareness are not generally good, and he changed direction while receiving the ball, just avoiding Finnan's tackle.

However, when Quaresma walked forward with the ball, Pennant arrived, and he tried to steal the ball from Quaresma's feet from behind, but Quaresma was very alert, flicked the ball, and dodged Pennant's steal.

The opening game was awkward and the steal was dodged, which fueled Pennant's fire, and he kicked Quaresma to the canvas with a kick with a leg sweep that he could reach out and pull Quaresma.

Force!

Referee Michel was worried about the conflict between the players on both sides, and after blowing the whistle, he quickly ran to the place where the foul was committed.

Gerrard saw Pennant foul like this, knew that it was not good, and quickly came over to plead with referee Michelle, who had just started more than three minutes into the game, and such a foul could also be given a verbal warning, but Michel was determined to blow the whistle tighter today, he ignored Gerrard's plea, took out a yellow card and sent it to Pennant.

Originally, the Porto players also tried to come over and blame Pennant, but when they saw the referee give Pennant a yellow card, they gave up blaming Pennant, just pulled Quares up and then went to prepare to send this free kick.

And Pennant seemed to be dissatisfied with a yellow card, and always wanted to rush over to explain to the referee, but was stopped by Gerrard and Chen Yu, because the action he just made was a yellow card action, if the balabala continued, it angered the referee, and maybe another yellow card would be punished.

Seeing Pennant take such a foul action in an unnecessary situation, head coach Benitez was very angry, he shook his hand at the court fiercely, and scolded: "Idiot! No brains! ”

The commentator on the scene praised Quaresma, "In just three minutes of the opening game, Porto won several opportunities to attack, with two very threatening shots, and also created a yellow card, all of which were made by Porto winger Quaresma, in terms of the performance of more than three minutes, Quaresma definitely surpassed Chen Yu and Gerrard, but the game has just begun, everything is still difficult to say, Chen Yu has always changed the game suddenly, let's continue to watch......"

After Quaresma made another yellow card for Pennant, Porto played more relaxed, and when the free kick was issued, a series of quick short passes evaded Liverpool's siege, and then played the ball to the side to continue to allow Quaresma to break through from Liverpool's right flank.

Now Pennant has a yellow card, and he doesn't dare to make big moves when he assists in defense, Finnan becomes tough in the face of Quaresma, and when Quaresma tries to break through him, Finnan directly uses his body and arms to squeeze Quaresma out of the touchline.

Referee Michel had just given Pennant a yellow card, and this time, despite Finnen's action, he didn't say anything and just gave the throw-in to Porto.

The game continued, Porto's form was as good as the start, and Liverpool's form gradually improved after being attacked by opponents in a row, and the two sides launched a wave of fierce offensive and defensive battles.

Originally, Porto's technology was excellent, and Liverpool's body was stronger, the tactics were almost the same, and Liverpool as a whole was better, although Porto had the home advantage, but it really fought, Porto did not have the upper hand, but due to the influence of public opinion before the game, the referee Michel blew the penalty today very strictly, which virtually limited Liverpool's physical advantage.

The physical advantage was not used, and the small skills were not as good as Porto's, so Liverpool had to tighten up their defense and compress the space to deal with Porto's penetrating attack in the middle.
