Midfielder
Chapter 150
Perhaps after more than a decade or even longer, the tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at Old Trafford will remember what happened at this moment.
The next dozen seconds will be forever engraved in their memories. It was a classic moment, but they were the unlucky victims.
Mourinho's change of formation was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Ferguson did not expect Porto to make adjustments first when they were in an advantageous situation.
Before Ferguson had time to respond to Mourinho's sudden change of formation, the black-haired boy had already moved in advance.
After the whistle sounded at the beginning of the second half, Porto launched a fierce charge, which did not give the Manchester United players any chance to react.
The most important thing was the offensive tide that Porto set off in the midfield. Deco's dribbling forced Djemba to follow him, and his pass gave Costinha the opportunity to approach the penalty area. Fletcher could only pounce on this guy who suddenly came up, and Bart completely became a one-on-one challenge to Lin Yi.
Costinha was waiting for Fletcher to rush over. He passed the ball to Lin Yi's feet when the guy rushed up to block him.
Fletcher's defense became empty talk. This fierce guy could only turn around and run back to his defensive position, but it was too late.
At this time, only Bart was staring at Lin Yi. Mourinho wanted to create this kind of space for this kid to challenge one person.
One-on-one! Eat him hard! When Mourinho saw this scene, he had already clenched his fists. He hoped that this was an opportunity for Porto!
When Ferguson saw this scene, he almost jumped up from his seat. The old man had already felt a fatal danger approaching.
"Stop him!" When Ferguson's roar came out, it was too late, because the black-haired kid had already moved before him.
And Bart, who was fooled by Lin Yi for half a game, had to deal with this difficult kid alone at this moment, and even he himself did not have the confidence.
Bart, who was already scared by Lin Yi's passing, didn't dare to rush up immediately. He could only passively watch the kid successfully receive the ball and approach him.
Unfortunately, Bart's retreat didn't give him a better defensive position, but when the ball reached Lin Yi's feet, the kid didn't slow down the rhythm at all. Instead, he led the ball with his feet and instantly accelerated. His swinging body was ready to pass Bart.
Lin Yi's magical feet put too much pressure on Bart. He didn't dare to stretch his feet rashly, but this made Lin Yi's starting speed begin to show.
Lin Yi changed direction several times while running at high speed, making Bart dare not easily kick the ball, but Lin Yi jumped out almost instantly.
Bart, who was standing in a defensive position and ready to block Lin Yi, had completely lost his defensive rhythm when facing this active breakthrough.
He actually watched Lin Yi pass by with the ball less than half a step away from him, and when he just adjusted his body and started to turn around, Lin Yi had already rushed out from his side with a whistle! Fletcher, who came back to defend, failed to succeed with a tackle from behind.
When Lin Yi shook off Bart, the back of his head seemed to have eyes, and he avoided Fletcher's interception with a lateral pass.
The unlucky Fletcher's tackle not only failed to stop Lin Yi, but also blocked Bart's route to chase back, which was completely helping Lin Yi.
A simple dribble actually shook off the two guys who were guarding him at once, which might be a result that even Lin Yi himself did not expect.
However, such space made Lin Yi calm down. This was an opportunity, so he had to make this opportunity completely turn into a fatal threat to the goal.
"Danger!" The commentator on the scene blurted out this sentence, but it was too late, because Lin Yi had completely shaken off the defender.
Originally, the three defensive midfielders were the most relied on by Manchester United in defense, but now they are all tragic, and Lin Yi is facing the central defender directly.
When Bart and Fletcher's interceptions were easily shaken off by Lin Yi, Brown was the first person to react, but he really hated this kind of replacement work, especially when he had to face that ghostly boy, but at this moment, Brown could only rush over with his two long legs!
Lin Yi had just used a forced change of direction to shake off Fletcher, and at this time his body's center of gravity could no longer be adjusted, which was a good opportunity for a tackle.
Brown's advance prediction made him two or three meters away from Lin Yi. He stretched out his long legs and made a fierce sliding tackle on the grass.
But at this moment, Lin Yi once again showed his superb ability to change direction to the tens of thousands of people present. He just avoided Fletcher's tackle from behind. At the moment when Brown flew up, Lin Yi, who was running at full speed, suddenly slammed the ball and shook his ankle in the opposite direction.
His entire body moved parallel to the grass, a change of direction similar to a Z shape, allowing Brown's long legs to pass by.
Just like in the last game, Brown once again tragically slid along the grass. The only thing he was thankful for was that he didn't hit the hard billboard this time. I just don't know if he was calling himself a fool at this moment, because he forgot that Lin Yi had played him like this in the last game.
When a person makes the same mistake twice in a row, he is no longer an idiot. Ferguson now wants to kill him directly.
Three people, from the start to the top of the penalty area, Lin Yi used the fastest speed to shake off three defenders. Now, on the defense line of Manchester United, there was only Gary Neville who was in an extremely awkward situation. This unlucky guy found that he had to face Lin Yi's challenge again.
Gary Neville had no choice but to rush out, but his blocking this time was more passive than the last game. Pass? Shoot? Gary Neville really didn't know what choice the black-haired kid would make. Now he could only do his best and leave it to fate. God bless him.
Maybe when facing the fierce breakthrough of Lin Yi, Gary Neville had not forgotten the scene of being fooled in the last game, so he ignored a lot of things. His whole mind was focused on Lin Yi, and he ignored everything around him. When he found out, it was too late.
When Gary Neville spread his thighs and rushed towards Lin Yi fiercely, he was not the guy who was dragged at the back of the parallel line of defense.
So when he saw Lin Yi push the football under his feet into the penalty area along the grass, he subconsciously raised his hand to indicate offside.
If he could observe the surroundings in advance, Gary Neville might find out how stupid his behavior was at this moment. He was not the last line of defense. O'Shea, who was defending behind on the left side, was the last defender. It was because of him that this pass was not offside.
A stupid mistake. Manchester United's defense line was too chaotic at the moment. There was no unity in the whole action. They were fighting on their own.
It was Lin Yi who disturbed their originally stable formation, and Alenichev on the wing pressed forward in time to slow down O'Shea's offside.
A pass, at the most appropriate time, hit the area with the strongest defense of Manchester United, and Lin Yi bit off this hard bone.
His pass was like a bone-cutting steel knife, cutting hard along the bone seam of Manchester United. There was a chilling feeling when the knife flashed.
Gary Neville's fierce rush hit Lin Yi, but the space behind him had been penetrated by Lin Yi's pass. The linesman's flag did not wave, and there was no offside! When Gary Neville turned around, he saw a scene that made him despair. Lin Yi's pass had already rolled in front of the goal.
In front of Manchester United's goal, in addition to goalkeeper Howard, there was another sturdy guy, McCarthy! The elusive South African!
A single-handed shot that was closer to the goal than a penalty kick. Howard didn't even take a step to attack at this moment. Will there be any accidents in this single-handed challenge?
If McCarthy's shot still couldn't score, maybe Mourinho would immediately replace him from the field and carry him to the corner to kick him!
In order to avoid this inhumane scene from really happening, McCarthy didn't even shoot directly. He deliberately stopped the ball in the penalty area.
Push shot, facing a panicked and helpless goalkeeper, McCarthy chose the most reliable shooting method. The sufficient space gave him enough time to adjust. An extremely accurate push shot directly hit the lower left corner of the goal, a position that Howard found most uncomfortable to save.
Howard is not God, so when he stretched his body desperately and couldn't let his fingertips touch the football, he felt desperate.
A push shot only seven meters away from the goal, with only one goalkeeper and half of the goal empty, the football whizzed through all the blockades and drilled into the net.
"GOAL!!! Porto scored!!! The second half just started for less than a minute!" Although the English commentator on the scene shut up at this moment, the staff responsible for the Portuguese broadcast signal, at this time, awakened the passion of the entire Porto city with his roar.
Lin Yi and the others can't hear it now, but Porto City has now fallen into a crazy atmosphere, and all Porto fans are cheering.
After being suppressed for 45 minutes, they finally found a way to vent their emotions. With this shout, the whole city fell into madness!
If the goal in the first half made Manchester bars sell beer, then at this moment, those bars must be filled with the sound of breaking cups.
The net was shaking, and the Manchester United fans who were shouting were like someone stepped on their necks. The crazy cheering stopped in the air in an instant.
Those fans who were singing the great Manchester United's brave advance just now were all standing in their seats, watching the net shaking constantly.
The faces of Manchester United players were full of stunned expressions. They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, and the same was true for those loyal fans.
Up to this moment, less than a minute had passed in the second half, and Manchester United had no chance to touch the ball, but they had been scored!
If someone counted carefully, Porto only used seven passes to send the ball to the center of the penalty area, forming a single knife.
This was a humiliating process for Manchester United. From the moment they kicked off, they acted as a foil again and again on the field.
The entire back line was completely torn apart by one person, and the kid who penetrated everything was not yet an adult, he was even only 16 years old.
But this is the fact, it was this little guy who defeated the great Red Devils with a classic moment at Old Trafford.
He was running wildly on the field at this moment, leading the entire Porto team on the grass of Old Trafford, swinging his hands wantonly!
The eleven Porto players who had already gone crazy, including goalkeeper Baia, collectively slid on the grass to celebrate.
Now they didn't care how dead the surroundings were. They needed to vent their emotions and get rid of the feeling of coming back from the brink of death.
The eleven people slid to the sidelines in a diving posture. Lin Yi and Deco rushed to the front. Their target was Mourinho standing on the sidelines.
These crazy guys didn't care that they were still covered with grass debris. When they slid in front of Mourinho, they rushed up and hugged the old man with a still stern face in the middle of such a group of strong guys. Everyone was shouting loudly!
"We did it! Boss, did you see it! We tied the score! Those damn British people have seen how powerful we are!"
"Now it's the turn of those guys to stand on the edge of the cliff! The quarterfinals of the Champions League are waving to us!!!" Everyone was shouting wildly!
Although Mourinho was not as crazy as his players, he also had a smile on his lips, which was a kind of satisfaction after success.
Once, it was the little black-haired guy who turned all his ideas into reality with only one chance. It was a magical moment.
This moment was great for both Mourinho and Porto. At least, it will be recorded in the history of Porto.
The score was tied, and now it was Manchester United's turn to stand on the edge of the cliff. Mourinho did not forget that the game was not over when these players were celebrating.
"Okay, you guys, don't just cheer. The game is not over yet. Those Englishmen will counterattack us fiercely. Now we should change our style of play. Costinha, you have to withdraw and change to a double defensive midfielder. Deco is ambushing behind Lin Yi. We should play with the ball."
If it weren't for the intervention of the referee next to him, it is unknown how long Porto's carnival would last, but Mourinho did not forget to change tactics.
Originally, he was going to continue the 3-6-1 tactics that he had temporarily changed, but the sudden equalization of the score had changed everything. Manchester United would definitely attack wildly now, so Porto's skilled footwork must be reflected, especially in small-scale competitions.
The double defensive midfielder is to add an extra insurance to his own defense. Lin Yi continued to stay close to the opponent's penalty area, and he must make the opponent's forward pressure cautious.
The Englishman is no good at controlling the ball and footwork! Now Mourinho must firmly grasp the possession of the ball, and it's time to play a quick counterattack!
Just like the tactical adjustment just now, this time Mourinho walked ahead of Ferguson again, and he had made arrangements to deal with Manchester United's counterattack.
But at this moment, Ferguson seemed to have not reacted to the goal just now. The stubborn Scottish old man just stood on the sidelines like that, without saying a word. The assistant coach beside him didn't dare to say anything at this moment, and could only wave his hand to signal the players to cheer up quickly.
Ferguson was not stunned by the goal, he just didn't know how to react at the moment, and losing the ball so quickly disrupted all his arrangements.
Originally, he wanted to temporarily use such a defensive formation to hold the opponent, but the black-haired boy and Mourinho shattered all his ideas.
What can he do now? Attack? Although Manchester United also attacked in the first half, the situation has changed now, and they have no chance.
If they can't control the midfield, they have already lost the right to attack. Now the defense has also been broken by the opponent, and Manchester United has been completely passive.
"What happened? What happened to my team?" Ferguson was confused when he looked at the score on the big screen.
The once invincible Red Devils were kicked to the ground and stepped on hard by a black-haired kid in just one minute.
Looking at the score, Ferguson sighed softly. He now understood that he had no way out except to attack wildly.
"Replace Djemba with Chris, and let Butt and Fletcher press forward. We only have one way left now, which is to attack." When Ferguson said these words, he lost the high-spirited feeling of the past, and even seemed a little depressed. Perhaps the old man was very tired at this moment.
Although Ronaldo was eager to try on the sidelines, no one dared to bet on him for a comeback. Manchester United had been defeated by that goal.
Even after Ronaldo came on the court, Manchester United tried to launch their own offensive frenzy with the tactics of flying on both wings, and the state of those players became fluctuating.
Although Van Nistelrooy also had two shots after becoming three forwards, the compact defense of Baia and Porto killed all accidents.
Ronaldo himself wanted to be a terminator. After shaking continuously, he successfully got rid of the double defense of Maniche and Valente and cut inside to shoot.
When Costinha stretched out his leg halfway, his shot could only be exchanged for a corner kick, and Van Nistelrooy's dissatisfied roar.
Manchester United was fighting back. The score behind forced them to attack, but their sluggish state made them more and more impatient and their mistakes increased.
Scholes and Giggs both made mistakes when passing the ball, which made Ferguson sigh helplessly when he stood on the sidelines.
This stubborn old man would not let others see what he was thinking. Looking at the time passing by quickly, Ferguson began to count down for himself.
Perhaps this night is the last performance for both Manchester United and him. . . The great Red Devils are gradually falling. . .
"Such a game no longer belongs to an old man like me." Ferguson turned around when he saw Scholes' shot slip through the goal.
When one star gradually dimmed, another was shining brightly. . .
At Old Trafford, there was a guy who was writing his own glory. . .
