Jose Mourinho has never been afraid of an attack.

3 people were unsuccessful in attacking, 4 people were unsuccessful, 5 people, 6 people

When the opponent can't shake Porto's defence, more and more attacking players pile up on the front line, then the opportunity for Porto is that the opponent has more space at the back and less defensive strength!

I'll defend first so you can't attack!

I'll fight back and you'll be overwhelmed!"

Deco's diagonal pass from the middle of the box wasn't particularly precise, but he managed to get the ball in hand so Maniche didn't have to worry about the ball rolling off the touchline.

Maniche started up quickly after winning the ball on the flank of midfield, and went straight along the flank, and for a moment the speed was like a blistering speed.

Midfielders De Jong and Galasek saw that the opposing two strikers, Alberto and Delle, were also following up quickly in the middle, and they did not dare to divide their troops to help defend the side at the first time.

It was only after Maniche had reached the wing area 40 yards from goal that De Jong moved wide to try to flick Maniche along with Heitinga.

Porto really put all their attacking talent to work on the counter-attack.

Alberto and Delle didn't get into the box for the first time and waited for their chances, and Porto's counter-attack was not rigid, but flexible.

After De Jong moved, Dellay seemed to follow De Jong, pulling parallel distance from Alberto, and after ensuring that Galasek could only mark one player, he and Maniche separated Heitinga from De Jong.

At this time, the young Heitinga saw De Jong coming to help, so he took the initiative to rush up and plan to cut off the football at Maniche's feet.

He did not observe Alberto's position.

As soon as he moved, the lateral defensive distance in the penalty area was invisibly widened, forcing Maxwell and Escud to passively adjust their defensive positions and guard key areas.

In the race against time in the Ajax defence, Maniche decisively crossed the ball across the space between Heitinga and De Jong.

De Jong and Heitinga just cast their eyes behind them, but they saw Dellai kick the ball and stuff it straight to the bottom line.

Maniche cuts into the bottom line of the Ajax penalty area from Heitinga's side!

After the pass, Dellay also cut forward into the box, forcing Escud to move in this direction, exposing the gap in the middle of the box and at the back post, which could be filled by Galasek and Maxwell in two seconds.

However, in this wave of Porto's counter-attacking attack, Ajax's defensive line adjusted from the first step to the continuous passivity, so Alberto seized the opportunity and first started to rush to the open area in front of the goal.

Maniche's close-to-ground cross went around Escud's back, and when Escud turned to look back, Alberto met the ball and slotted it in!

Galasek tackled a metre behind him to block the cross, perhaps less than a second slower, while Maxwell was on his way back to the middle, but less than two metres from Alberto!

Lobon had no choice, Maniche's cross made it impossible for him to abandon the goal, and passively followed the movement of the football to adjust the defensive position, but Alberto's push was a reverse cut line, and Lobon reacted knowing that the save was useless, so he could only look at the ball and sigh!

The Porto fans in the stands of the Schalke Stadium roared excitedly, and the young coach Mourinho lowered his head and closed his eyes so that he could not see his proud smile, and after waving his right hand into a fist twice in front of him, he raised his head again and regained a cold expression.

Maniche's cross, Alberto's mid-flank push, it went in! Porto are the first to break through the door of Ajax in the Champions League final! The goal was scored by Alberto, a young player promoted by Jose Mourinho from Porto's youth team, who repaid the manager's trust with his goal! In this battle between the two teams with distinct styles, Porto used defensive counterattacks to take the lead! ”

Coman didn't have time to make any expressions of loss or frustration on the sidelines, he walked to the sidelines, took advantage of the Porto players to celebrate, called Grigla to his side, and gave Grigra a face-to-face advice, Grigla nodded sternly and walked back to the backcourt.

Koeman couldn't blame a player for the goal he had conceded.

Ajax focuses on attacking football, and the tradition of taking the initiative to attack cannot be abandoned, which is the foundation of Ajax based on world football, and must not be shaken!

If it weren't for the Champions League, he wouldn't have changed the formation to play a two-back system.

And even if it changes, it will be the system that was formalized after the first leg against Arsenal.

Ideally, Ajax would have at least five defenders even if they were counter-attacked.

Three defenders plus double backs, the less defender is a fullback, can not return to the position for the first time after the assist to the front, which is commonplace in high-level games, if a fullback assists to attack and can't play, the opponent's counterattack can make the fullback back back back catch up, then the opponent can not play counterattack at all!

And five defenders to defend the opponent's fast break, the two staggered defensive iron triangle system is already the limit of tactical deployment!

However, the specific problem when it comes to this game is that Grigra can't move!

He's always going to be involved in defense.

Because Heitinga and De Jong are so young, they are defensive players, and if they make a mistake, it will be a disaster.

In this defense just now, Heitinga and De Jong went to the joint defense to grab Maniche, the idea is good, but they miscalculated the shape, it can be said that the defensive choice of these two people has a big problem, De Jong embarrassed Galasek, directly from active defense to passive chasing the opponent's target, Heitinga also made Escud and Maxwell forced to change their defensive positions so that Porto seized the opportunity to break through the defense in this series of changes.

Koeman asked Grigla to reduce his assists in the past half to ensure that when dealing with the opponent's counterattack, if he wants to form a five-man defensive line, it is also a back three of Grigera + Heitinga + Escude, at least this can reduce the probability of a point of defensive selection going wrong and the defensive system collapsing.

This means that the burden of assisting Ajax's full-backs falls on Maxwell, and it will also reduce the comprehensiveness of Ajax's attack, after all, without an assist on the wing, the threat to the opponent will of course decrease.

The Ajax players looked solemn, and Ibrahimovic stepped on the ball in the centre circle, his expression was not extremely angry.

Ajax failed to attack strongly, but the opponent took the lead in scoring, this is the difficulty of Ajax, the risk that attacking football must take.

If they give Ajax Porto the same counter-attacking opportunity, they can perform better, but unfortunately, Porto is not Ajax and will not be happy to play an open and passionate game with Ajax.

Qin Xiong took a deep breath and tried his best to relieve the tension that rose in his heart.

It was under pressure, and the determination to win the championship would not waver, but the score on the scoreboard was a reality that could not be ignored.

Porto played more calmly due to the goal, but their second attempt on counter-attacking from the left was not ideal, Heitinga was protected by Grigra and Escude, and De Jong was also alerted by Galasek to watch his surroundings.

Ajax kept their sanity and continued to play.

Porto's fouls are finally starting to be taken seriously by the referee.

In the 37th and 40th minutes of the game, within three minutes, the referee showed yellow cards to Costinha and Delle respectively, the former brought down Sneijder for the third time, and Dellay was aware of the referee's violation of Qin Xiong's back.

After receiving a yellow card on Costina, Qin Xiong decisively changed his offensive strategy and concentrated on playing Costina's defensive zone!

At the same time, this side also has Maxville's connection, which is easier to cooperate with.

But Deco will also move this way with him to increase the defensive toughness.

With conventional tactics, it looked like it would be difficult for Ajax to shake the opposition defence, and the free-kicks that were awarded for fouls looked like they were not of high quality today.

At this time, it is necessary for geniuses to improvise, and it is necessary to gain an advantage locally.

It's time for someone to step up!

Jose Mourinho pondered on the sidelines, contemplating whether to completely shrink his formation before the end of the first half to hold on to the lead, but the game was not short enough to be completely reassured.

Porto are in a very similar situation to Ajax, they must have an attacking threat to intimidate the opponent and force the opponent not to go all out in attack.

Mourinho looked at the time on the big screen and decided to give Porto the order to hold on when the clock reached 43 minutes into the first half.

However, when the game entered the 42nd minute, there was a picture on the field that Mourinho regretted! R1152
