Chapter 90: The 10th goal of the Champions League is here! Officially enter the even number club! (Ask for a commuter pass)
Porto did play a seven-wound tactic, leaving a large gap at the back, with only three centre-backs standing here for the most part.
In this regard, Nuno's tactic is to get the ball stuck in Leicester's half as much as possible.
By controlling the second penalty and quickly counter-attacking after conceding the goal, it can delay or limit Leicester's attack.
It takes tireless running and a strong fighting spirit on the part of the players, as well as a very focused spirit and the courage to make no mistakes.
Nuno believes his players can do it, at least in the first half, and they can hold on to this tactic until the second half, when neither side has scored, he will reclaim the defence.
In his opinion, this is the safest tactic.
Not only do you hold the initiative in your own hands, but you also have a certain chance of countermeasures!
Standing on the sidelines, listening to the shouts of the fans, Nuno was very energetic and he felt that he was on the right path with the team.
Heard Leicester City are sending Porto home?
I heard that Copenhagen want Leicester City to have a big win and let them qualify?
And Chen Yufeng, want to come to the Dragon Stadium to settle old accounts?
Today he will tell the world that this is impossible!
In the Dragon Stadium, in the Champions League, they Porto will burst out with the kind of spirit that they didn't have in the past!
"The siege of Porto continues, it's a very physically demanding tactic, but with the constant cheers of the fans at the Stadio de Dragons, I'm sure the players will be able to hold their teeth and stick to it."
"Leicester City have been a little bit unable to play during this period, they have not controlled the second penalty enough, which is also no way, Porto have too many attackers."
'There's also the point that Leicester can actually attack forward with a long ball from goal.
"But in the first few minutes today, I don't know if Porto was too lucky, or Leicester City was too back, they didn't get a goal kick."
'When the defenders cleared, they didn't kick the ball into the effective area, and when they were about to find the front, the Porto players would block in front of them.
'You could say Porto were afraid of Leicester's attacking prowess, but in the early hours of the game they did a good job of limiting and it was up to them to take advantage of the chances to score.
ββ¦β¦β
CCTV commentator Zhu Xiaoyu still gave encouragement to Porto's players, as a commentator, he can't favor either side.
Even if he wants Leicester to make a good comeback and get back what he lost.
But in the opening period, it was Porto who had more touches in the box.
On the pitch, Chen Yufeng and Klose Vardy both stayed in the front position.
They withstood the opponent's three defenders to form a local three-on-three situation.
The one who defended Chen Yufeng was the source of the evil before, Markano.
"Are you wondering why the ball isn't coming?"
Markano followed Chen Yufeng intently, and used words to disturb Chen Yufeng's mentality, "Give up, you won't get a chance." β
"Even if our backcourt looks empty, you can't get through it."
"As long as the ball comes, I'll foul it, worry about my legs! Even if I get banned again, I'm not afraid! β
"As long as we can qualify, everything is easy to say!"
Chen Yufeng glanced behind him, expressionless.
He knew that this was Malcano's heart-to-heart battle, and it was also a sign of his fear.
Does Chen Yufeng need to say anything?
No, he's more used to talking about goals!
Will he be afraid of a malicious foul by Markano?
In the last game, there may have been some worries, but now, he won't.
Even if it's a malicious foul, it would take two people to have about the same strength.
Kimmich's shovel of Haaland is enough to prove everything, when the difference in strength between the two people is too great, then even if you use scissors kicks, it won't hurt me.
On the contrary, the person who is likely to slip will be injured by the leg of the sliding!
Malcano isn't the kind of power defender, he's the conscious type, which is why he needs more tools to help him defend.
"Wait for your chance, don't rush, believe that we only need one chance to kill them." Vardy shouted at Chen Yufeng from the side.
Chen Yufeng nodded slightly, and continued to jog in the front court, observing the situation behind him.
Vardy is fast, Klose is high, he's fast and high.
The attacking group of three of them is enough to make any team in Europe fearsome at the back.
It only takes one chance for them to prove how their worth is really made!
"Bang!"
Porto striker Corona made another long-range shot, and the ball hit Morgan's leg and bounced off the line.
The cheers of the Porto fans at the scene were higher and higher, even if they have not yet achieved any phased results, but as far as the scene is concerned, they are pressing Leicester City to play!
If you continue to play like this, you will be able to score sooner or later!
"Come on, come on!"
Nuno clapped his hands vigorously on the sidelines, even with regret on his face, excited by the boys' performances.
Behind him, a group of assistant coaches sat in their seats, sometimes waving excitedly, sometimes holding their heads regretfully, and then turning to applause.
They were like the epitome of Nuno standing in front, reacting instinctively as the situation changed.
"It was a really good game today, and I think we can't just aim for the line, we have to beat them."
An assistant coach smiled and said, "We want to give a wonderful performance to the fans at home!" Come on! β
"Yes, before that, I also advised Mr. Nuno to stand on the defensive."
An assistant coach sighed with a wry smile, "But now it seems that I am simply a joke, if we follow my play, we are the ones who are likely to lose." β
"yes."
Someone chimed in: "That's why Mr. Nuno is the head coach of the first line in Europe, and we can only be his assistant coach." β
"Are you unhappy about being Nuno's assistant coach?" Someone sneered: "I don't have such thoughts, every day with him makes me feel refreshed." β
"So do we."
"yes, being Nuno's assistant coach is better than my ......"
"Hahahaha."
A few people chatted from here, while not forgetting to pat Nuno's ass.
Although Nuno didn't turn around and smile, he must have been very useful in his heart, and he just pretended not to hear and continued to command the team.
Why become a soccer coach?
Because in many cases, football is very easy to satisfy a person's vanity, where you can get all the feelings, you can enjoy the feeling of being held to heaven.
Of course, there is a premise in this, which is that you lead the team to good results.
If there are no grades, everything is in vain!
Nuno took a deep breath and hoped that the players could play a victory for him, so that at least for some time to come, Portuguese fans would see him as a savior!
That's cool for a manager!
"Come on!"
Nuno clapped his hands and continued to give the players strength.
Not long after, Leicester were awarded a goal kick when Jota's shot was fired into the air with an anti-aircraft gun.
Jota covered her face with some regret and ran backwards, ready to defend.
His teammates around him quickly sent him words of encouragement, "It's okay Jota, we still have a lot of opportunities!" β
"yes, we've been holding them down! We're going to score for sure! β
"Come on, you take charge of the offense, we will take care of the defense for you in the backfield!"
"Gotta score for us, hahaha......"
Listening to these warm words, Jota nodded firmly, and he felt that everything was developing in a good direction.
Today, maybe they can really win at home.
And not a small victory, but a complete victory!
In this case, if you go to the knockout round in the future, is there any hope to create a dark horse miracle?
Jota smiled at the corners of his mouth, forcing himself to play this game first and not think about the future.
"Bang!"
Schmeichel then kicked the ball out and into the front position.
Leicester's midfield defence breathed a sigh of relief and could push the line out.
Jota turned and watched as the ball leaped across the midfield and down their backfield.
When he saw Telles and Klose appear at the landing point, he suddenly felt a slight twitch in his heart, and a sense of panic suddenly filled his body.
"Retreat! Fill in the gap! Fill the place behind him! β
Jota waved at his team-mates, his eyes looking to the side, already thinking about a plan for the backline.
It's a pity that he only saw Vardy and Chen Yufeng, who had already started from both sides.
On Vardy's side, Danilo followed, and he could quite keep up.
But Chen Yufeng's side, Ma Kano who was guarding him was obviously thinking too much, he wanted to use this foul to block Chen Yufeng, and grabbed Chen Yufeng's clothes with one hand, but he was directly rushed off by the huge force.
The whole person also lost its center of gravity, and a dog ate and fell forward.
Cruel words are cruel words, the team situation is very good, and Marcano will definitely not be particularly rude foul as soon as he comes up.
What he hopes is that he will avoid the referee's card as much as possible for the first foul, get a yellow card for the second time, and then take the risk of a red card if he has no choice but to do so.
But he obviously didn't expect that after a period of experience, Chen Yufeng's strength would grow again!
Or it can also be said that the last game was too short, and he has not yet felt Chen Yufeng's physical fitness, which is the official first experience.
"It's over......" Jota swallowed and stopped running, but stood still.
What happened next, as he expected, Klose fought for a header and rubbed directly behind the Porto defence.
Vardy, who was closer to the ball, was first exposed to the ball and Danilo, who defended him, tried to block the line, but was unsuccessful.
"Bang!" Vardy kicked the ball in front of Chen Yufeng without stopping, and Chen Yufeng had already made a single knife.
Absolute chance!
Porto put it in the backfield, and this is the only end that you get!
Nuno's self-confidence is about to crumble from this moment!
Casillaston ran out of the net in a bit of a panic and lowered his center of gravity to get ready to defend.
Seeing Chen Yufeng approaching, he also adjusted his position shortly, sometimes taking a few steps back, sometimes taking a few steps forward.
He's an experienced goalkeeper and there's a knack for making one-on-one shots.
However, after watching the highlights of Chen Yufeng's goalkeeper, he didn't dare to use his own secrets, and only left everything to intuition.
Another reason is that this game is too crucial for Porto, and the already aged Sancassi still wants to play a Champions League knockout game, and the motivation is not only the pressure.
He really wants to hold on to the ball and help the team.
"Bang!!"
Just as Casillas was still moving, Chen Yufeng shot out of his foot coldly, and a push shot pushed the ball to the bottom right corner.
This is something that no one expected, Chen Yufeng never chose the goalkeeper, and he didn't choose to get closer!
"Huh!" A touch of the net followed, and Casillas was still on the move, unable to make an effective save.
The ball is in!
Leicester's first counter-attack after the opening!
Just scored!
This is also Chen Yufeng's 10th Champions League goal in this tournament!
βYeahhhhhhhhβ¦β¦οΌοΌβ The originally somewhat silent North Stand was completely replaced by a hustle and bustle, and Leicester fans stood up excitedly and clapped their palms heavily.
They are ahead!
At the Dragons Stadium, Leicester City takes the lead!
This is the efficiency of this team, and it is also the efficiency of Chen Yufeng!
"Come on......!"
Chen Yufeng was also excited, he yelled at several defenders in Porto, and then ran to the sidelines to skate and kneel in celebration.
The five-star course, the Dragon Stadium?
Well, now it's the pitch he's slid and kneeled on!
It was his first goal here and he will be aiming for more after that!
This is just the first account, and he has a lot of money for Porto......
βCome onβ¦β¦οΌ Ukaze!! β
Vardy, Klose and others quickly rushed to Chen Yufeng, and excitedly knelt with Chen Yufeng.
With the first goal, the situation could change.
Thanks to their advanced position, if Porto were advanced, everything might have been different!
"The ball is in! A quick counterattack! A textbook counterattack! β
CCTV commentator Zhu Xiaoyu's excited voice sounded, "In the 14th minute of the game, Leicester City scored first!" Without dominating the situation, through a counterattack, Chen Yufeng broke through the opponent's door! β
"We all know that the classic routine of the attack, the third man run! Leicester's goal showed the tactics of the third man running to the fullest! β
"Klose flicked the ball with a header, quickly inserted it on both sides, and struck it horizontally to form a single knife!"
"Chen Yufeng's 10th goal in the Champions League, he officially entered the Champions League goal double club! This is another milestone moment! β
'Porto are in trouble, will they stick to the way they played? Is Nuno prepared for this situation? β
Zhu Xiaoyu's voice was very excited, and for more than ten minutes before, he had been watching with his heart, unsure whether Leicester City still had any hope of winning the first half.
Now, he's a little more confident.
On the pitchside, Ranieri hugged the assistant coaches behind him and celebrated passionately.
Not far behind them, Nuno stood alone on the edge of the field, and the chatter of the assistant coaches of Porto behind them also came to an abrupt end.
A question mark arises in their minds, now, what to do?
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Nuno clapped his palms again, encouraging the players who were a little dazed, and said in an impassioned tone; "It's okay, it's okay! They're just lucky to get one! β
"It's us who has the upper hand, got it?!"
"Come on! Keep up the offensive you just had and get everything back! I believe you can do it, their defenses are crumbling! β
In fact, in Nuno's plan, as long as the ball is lost, it is to put on a 640 non-striker defensive bus, drag the game to death, and prevent Leicester City from scoring.
But in the first ten minutes of today, Porto's players played so well, the scene was ignited by the fans again and again, and his emotions were also mobilized.
It is not surprising that this fighting tactic continues to be laid out through gritted teeth.
The players on the pitch heard Nuno's roar, looked at each other a few times, and a few fighting spirits also appeared in their hearts.
Yes, we're the one with the advantage......
They didn't have the advantage and scored, so we just need to take advantage of the opportunity and be better, wouldn't it be a frame-up goal?
"Come on, come on! Call back! A ball doesn't mean anything! β
Porto's players began to encourage their teammates and rekindle their fighting spirit: "We can do it! They're just Mr. Good Luck in an attack! β
"Porto! Porto! Porto! β
"Don't let our fans down, don't let the manager Nuno down! Do you want your opponents to go wild on our home turf? β
"Yes, they have said so many insulting things, and the media have also portrayed us as villains, and we are going to fight back!"
"We want to prove to everyone that we can win! Come on! β
When everyone returned to the center circle arc, there was a few hints of fortitude on everyone's faces, as if they wanted to eat all the opponent's players.
"Beep!" A whistle sounded, the battle restarted, and the excitement officially began.
