Chapter 119: Advance to the Final Four
However, the substitution didn't do much as it worked, and Tottenham's attack was still fierce.
In the 36th minute, Kane received a cross from Lamela in front of the penalty area, but there was no defender around him to mark it.
Tottenham's leading goalscorer fired a right-footed shot into the back of the net with a straight shot that hit Porto defender Indy's leg and deflected into the net.
Visiting goalkeeper Fabiano slumped weakly in front of the goal line.
Four to zero!
Tottenham are going crazy!
The White Lily diehards in the stands are already singing the song they wrote for Benjamin.
The other teams don't know what happened, but Benjamin seems to be the first manager in Tottenham's history to enjoy this treatment.
The four goals were far from over, and in the 40th minute, Lamela passed back into the box from the right side of the penalty area near the bottom line.
Eriksen slotted home comfortably just before the penalty spot.
Tottenham Hotspur led 5-0 in the first half!
After getting Benjamin's instructions in the second half, it was clear that the Tottenham players who had already sealed the win began to close their plays.
For this Champions League match, Porto rotated a full nine players in the Portuguese Super League last weekend.
But everything is afraid of comparison, Benjamin is even more straightforward, he directly changed eleven starters in the last league.
So in comparison, the home team has more physical reserves.
In the first half, the Lily Army ran more than 10% more than their opponents, and the players on the field executed the manager's tactical deployment well.
Porto, who was caught with the hole, was naturally unable to withstand Tottenham's attack in the first half.
And when the home team's offensive slowed down, Porto finally had a few more dangerous attacks.
In the 73rd minute, Porto midfielder HΓ©ctor Herrera sent a cross from the right, and Martinez, who was outflanked in the middle, scored with a header!
The visitors pulled a goal back, but Tottenham still had a four-goal lead.
Benjamin made a series of substitutions after 75 minutes.
Dembele, who had a poor first-leg performance, was replaced by Frank Lampard today and is now coming off the bench.
After a few dozen seconds of delay, the Belgian is back in the Champions League.
It may have been a different situation than last time, and now there is no pressure on Tottenham to lead by a big score.
Wembley Stadium is also far more familiar than the Dragons, and Dembele has been doing well since he came on the pitch.
Then Son Heung-min and Mason also came off the bench one after another.
In the 88th minute of the game, Dembele received a pass from Son Heung-min in front of the penalty area, and a low shot passed through the gap between the defenders in the penalty area and went straight into the net.
Six to one!
Tottenham gave the opponent a "Children's Day" in advance!
Of course, it may be the home team's fans who will really celebrate the holiday, and the supporters of the Lily Legion can't hide their joy in their hearts.
At the end of the game, Benjamin's Tottenham Hotspur beat Porto 6-1 at home and successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.
Champions League semi-finals, here we come!
There were Tottenham fans in the stands who pulled out such banners.
'I'm very happy with the lads today and I think it's great to use a win like this as a response to all the criticism and doubts that we've had before.
Barcelona are a very strong opponent, but we are confident that we can beat any opponent! β
Tottenham Hotspur made the cut, and their next opponent was also announced at the same time.
Barcelona eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with an absolute advantage of five to one over two legs to advance to the semi-finals.
That's right, in the Champions League, Tottenham's next opponent is La Liga giants Barcelona.
Messi, Neymar and Suarez form a luxurious forward line, and the midfield also has Xavi, Iniesta and other veterans who have won the Champions League three times with the team.
This Barcelona team is not easy to deal with!
In the 34th round of the Premier League, Tottenham played Southampton away.
Benjamin's rotation did not come to terms with Mauricio Pochettino's Southampton.
Pelle scored first before Townsend equalised as Tottenham drew 1-1 at the Saints.
However, in this round of the league, Chelsea and Arsenal played each other in a goalless draw 0-0.
With only four rounds left in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur is 14 points ahead of second-place Chelsea and successfully defended their title ahead of schedule!
The joy of winning the Premier League again four rounds ahead of schedule didn't make Benjamin smile at all.
He is busy preparing for the first leg of his away game against Barcelona in eleven days next week.
On 3 May, Tottenham host Manchester City.
Manchester City's starting agents reluctantly lined up on the pitch to welcome this season's Premier League champions, Tottenham Hotspur.
The Blues, who are still in a tight race for the top four in the Premier League, naturally want to take away a win away from home.
Shortly after the break, David Silva set up Sergio Aguero to open the scoring to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
Tottenham then didn't have any chance to score, and they didn't allow City to extend their leads.
"I know the league has been won, so you don't think the rest of the games matter.
But it's at home and I hope you can still play at your normal level. β
The second half was a stalemate, with neither side playing any threatening attacks for a while.
Forget it, if it doesn't work, give Manchester City three points.
In the top six of the Premier League, in fact, Manchester City has relatively few conflicts and grievances with Tottenham.
Benjamin brought on Harry Kane in the 72nd minute of the game, leaving the Englishman on the pitch to find his groove in preparation for the clash with Barcelona three days later.
Mason played the ball forward, Kane flicked the ball and turned past Mangala and fired a right-footed volley into the near corner of the net.
Joe Hart, who played brilliantly today, was unable to prevent Kane's goal.
Benjamin also applauded Kane's brilliant performance.
So, as a striker, Kane can continue to improve in terms of scoring goals.
Forcing Kane to practice accurate long passing, playmaking and scheduling skills is not necessarily a good thing.
In Benjamin's hands, Kane is an all-around scorer who takes his shooting and scoring prowess to the limit.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of Kane as a player, and it would be more appropriate to leave the responsibility of organizing the attack to his teammates.
In the next game, Manchester City desperately tried to score another goal to beat Tottenham, but unfortunately, it could not be achieved.
In the end, Tottenham drew 1-1 at home to Manchester City, with both sides taking one point each.
After the match against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur was finally able to devote themselves to the preparation for the next game without distraction.
"There is no doubt about the individual quality of the Barcelona front-court players, they are the ancestors compared to Bayern's passing.
Be careful of their fast breaks, and when defending, there is no shame in attacking each other, and there is no shame in two or three people defending Messi.
The premise is that you have to guard against it, and a few other people surround it and are passed by the other party or spread out.
There are some things that I can't use to say more now, and you'll be able to grasp them when you get your hands on them.
I know it's hard to completely block Messi, what you have to do is cut off Messi and his teammates as much as possible.
Then there are many people who are surrounded by people, and Messi deserves to be targeted like this.
The Argentines were forced to attack our backline only with longer sprints and passes, and to play high-intensity duels when defending.
Messi is small, but not weak, so when you play with him physically, you should pay attention to your position, and don't foul them in the danger area to give them a chance to take a free kick. β
Benjamin spared no effort to make targeted arrangements for Barcelona's top star Messi.
Many of the methods he borrowed from others were also borrowed from him, such as last year's World Cup final, when Germany's restrictions on Messi were successful.
But the problem is that it was in the Argentine national team, Messi was both a father and a mother, and there was no reliable midfielder behind him.
It's a different story at Barcelona, where the red and blue midfielders can give Messi plenty of support.
'Infringing on Neymar a lot away from the goal, he's not in a good temper, so it's better to set him on fire early.
If Xavi doesn't play, just stare at Iniesta for me, don't be afraid of fouls, shovel near the center circle, just pay attention to the action and don't eat cards! β
