Midfielder
Chapter 157
Deco's goal came at the right time. Mourinho waved his clenched fist vigorously when he saw the goal on the sidelines.
"What a fucking beautiful goal!" Brito jumped up from the coaching bench without any image, cheering for Deco's goal.
Like Brito, the entire Porto bench was in an uproar, not to mention the crazy fans in the Dragon Stadium.
The commentator screamed desperately, but the tsunami-like shouting had drowned everything, and the blue and white flags covered the entire Dragon Stadium.
Mourinho was originally a coach with a surprisingly calm mind. No matter what the situation on the field was, he would not show any particularly impatient performance. Even when the first goal came, Mourinho sat quietly in the coaching bench, but this time he did seem very excited.
Now this group of crazy guys not only expanded the lead again, but also made the away trip relatively easier.
So far in this season's Champions League, Mourinho's team has only lost once when playing away against Real Madrid.
That was when he deliberately gave up in the second half, which gave Madrid a chance to win. Otherwise, Porto would not have lost.
Even Manchester United can't boast that they can beat Porto by two goals at home, let alone Lyon, who are now being beaten by themselves.
When it was 1:0, Lyon might have a chance to tie, but when Deco changed the score to 2:0, even Le Guen lowered his head.
This not only means that Lyon will face a defeat away from home, but it will also be very difficult when they return to their home game.
Aulas was sitting on the podium at this moment, sighing involuntarily, and Da Costa, who was sitting next to him, was smiling at this moment.
Mourinho and Porto did everything he needed, and those little lunatics really kicked the big ass of those French guys hard.
But Da Costa's counterattack was absolutely bad enough. He even took the initiative to shake hands with Aulas in a very friendly way, which made Aulas really want to cry.
Da Costa must be one of those people who got the advantage and still acted cute. This is his way of counterattacking those French people, a typical smile with a knife hidden in the heart.
The most embarrassing thing at this moment is probably those French reporters who belittled Deco before the game. The guy they called "fake Brazil" pierced Lyon's goal in front of three authentic Brazilian national team members. This time the fake became the protagonist on the field.
Who else has the nerve to mention the issue of Deco being abandoned by the Brazilian team? Even if the French are big enough, they probably don't dare to say so.
Facts always speak louder than words. Goals are the eternal hard truth on the green field. Deco defended his honor in such a tough way.
Deco has always been popular among Porto fans. Fans at the Dragon Stadium held up banners supporting Deco and shouted his name loudly.
This guy used breakthroughs and passes to cause a lot of trouble for Lyon's defense in the first half, and now he changed the score with a shot.
"A perfect goal, our midfield magician, used the goal to shut up those ignorant French people, this is the most sharp counterattack!"
The commentator of the Porto team was in no mood to worry about the face of his French colleagues at this time, and his commentary was so sharp.
The first reaction of those French reporters at this moment was to tear off the media cards hanging around their necks, they really couldn't afford to lose this person.
In addition to romantic love and elegant demeanor, the French are very thorough in their nature of wanting to save face.
Before the game, they boasted to their death about how excellent the Lyon team was, and kept belittling the achievements of the Porto team. Now, retribution has come.
"Even if you have guys from the Brazilian national team, we can still beat you! We have Deco! We have Lin Yi!"
"Porto doesn't need the world's best main force. We are the champions of the Portuguese Super League. Now we have the French talent under our feet. Great Porto!"
The shouts of those fans came from all directions, which made Edmilson, who was fooled by Lin Yi again, look depressed and helpless.
Lyon's most proud defense and central attack were all crushed by the opponent, and the opponent knocked the Lyon goal from the middle.
"Damn, that ghost-like kid!" Edmilson looked at Lin Yi who was hugging Deco, and cursed fiercely.
But Lin Yi didn't want to fight with him on words. It was enough to have such a flash of assist. He enjoyed this feeling.
Before the game, he made a private bet with Deco that whether he won a penalty or an assist in this game, he would give Deco a chance to score.
Now he has done what he said, and the unusually ghostly breasts assist is still being replayed frequently on the big screen of the Dragon Stadium.
But Lin Yi was beaten up by his teammates because of this assist, and those scumbags must verify with their own hands whether Lin Yi's breasts are 32D.
"Fuck you! My sexual orientation is normal, you beasts! Damn it!" At this moment, Lin Yi can only try his best to maintain his innocence.
However, the beasts' black hands had been wandering around on him for a long time, and the touching method made Lin Yi quite speechless.
Now the most dissatisfied with such actions is not Lin Yi himself, but the cheering group of aunts who are waving his jersey in the stands.
"Let go of that boy! Lin Yi is ours!" A group of rotten girls were quite indignant when they saw Lin Yi being ravaged by a group of men.
There were about 20 minutes left and the game was about to end. It was basically impossible for Lyon to complete a counterattack in such a short time.
Moreover, Deco's goal had completely disrupted the psychological defense of the Lyon team. After the restart, the Lyon team's offense became more and more chaotic.
Even Juninho was not as calm as in the first 70 minutes. When he intercepted Maniche in the frontcourt, he made a fierce tackle from the side and back.
Maniche was facing Juninho sideways when he was tackled and fell to the ground. However, he quickly got up from the grass and rushed to the opponent, staring at Juninho with a very fierce look, which scared Deco to pull him away.
Although Porto was leading in the score, it would be more costly than gain if there was such an unconventional reduction in players, and there must be no violence on the field.
However, Deco still underestimated Maniche's calmness. This guy was just expressing his anger in this way. Conflict? If there was a conflict, he would have touched over and hit the Brazilian from behind. Why glare at each other so loudly?
A tough guy like Maniche is definitely good at such psychological warfare. Compared with his slickness, Juninho is simply child's play.
Because of Maniche's fierce performance, the referee had to do something, otherwise, he was afraid of intensifying the conflict between the players on both sides of the field.
Moreover, this was an obviously offensive foul, and the Swedish referee showed Juninho a yellow card without hesitation, which was a mercy.
For this kind of tackle from the side of the ball-controlling party, if it was against the person but not the ball, he could have directly shown a red card, but considering that Lyon was already behind and the players were already emotionally unstable, showing a red card at this time might make the situation worse.
So he did not make such a severe penalty decision, but at the same time he also whispered a verbal warning to Juninho not to kick so impulsively.
Otherwise, even if Lyon was behind now, he would have sent Juninho back to the locker room with a red card, which was a warning this time.
Juninho was upset by the second goal, so he was a little bit uncalm at this moment, and seemed a little resistant to the yellow card.
Seeing Juninho's emotions a little out of control, Le Guen made a decisive decision to make a substitution. In the 73rd minute, he replaced Juninho, the core midfielder who could no longer control his temper, with De La So, but his substitution was equivalent to giving up Lyon's central attack.
After losing Juninho's midfield dispatch, Lyon's central breakthrough was basically useless, and no one could replace this position.
The midfield battle between Porto and Lyon was basically concluded from the moment Juninho left the field, and the French lost miserably this time.
Already 0:2 behind, Le Guen didn't want the absolute core to be shown a red card again, otherwise they would have no chance of reversal if they returned to the Gerland Stadium.
Although Juninho was put on the bench by Le Guen for protection, there were still ten people on the field, and he couldn't protect them one by one.
Especially in the back line, Lin Yi seemed to be addicted to playing. Whenever he faced Diarra, it was definitely, just one word, I only said it once.
No matter who it is, it is impossible to have such a good temper. The opponent treated him like a wooden stake throughout the game. Anyone would be full of anger.
Diarra was no exception. A few minutes after the second goal, this guy tackled Lin Yi head-on and got himself a yellow card.
Le Guen could only choose a central defender to replace this guy who was almost crazy. This night was very frustrating for Diarra.
He was not the only one who collapsed. The entire Lyon team was almost nervous by the opponent's crazy attack. They could only shrink and defend.
But in terms of the current offensive momentum on the field, even if he returned to the Gerland Stadium, Le Guen did not dare to guarantee that he had an absolute victory.
After replacing Juninho, Lyon's midfield defense was strengthened, but such a change did not help much. Porto's advantage in the frontcourt has become more and more obvious. Even Luyindula was forced to retreat to the vicinity of the midfield to get the ball. Lyon's offensive strength was weakened again.
At this time, Le Guen made the same mistake as Ferguson. He deliberately pursued the thickness of midfield defense, but lost his offensive initiative.
There was already a lack of an organizational core in the middle. At this time, Gove alone could not make much waves on the wing.
Although Elber was still in the penalty area, it was basically impossible to rely on his little steel cannon to show his power. This guy had been silent for more than 70 minutes and was probably almost forgotten. Luyindula had already retreated to get the ball, and Elber didn't even have anyone to cooperate with.
Failure to threaten the opponent's goal was equivalent to giving up the rhythm of the game. According to the thinking of those Porto people, they could only continue to attack.
One minute after Juninho was replaced, Bosingwa forced a cross from the right, McCarthy headed the ball from the far point of the penalty area, and Coupe pressed the ball to death with both hands.
In the 79th minute of the second half, McCarthy received a precise through pass from Lin Yi in the middle, and his powerful shot near the penalty spot was once again suppressed by Coupe sideways.
As Mourinho said, if McCarthy's ability to seize opportunities is stronger, it would be very easy to win the Champions League Golden Boot.
In the last ten minutes of the game, McCarthy tried at least four shots, except for one that was off target, the rest were resolved by Coupe.
This top scorer in the Champions League in Porto really had no luck in scoring in such a game, and his shots always missed the goal.
It's not that Lin Yi and Deco didn't provide him with enough good shooting opportunities, but that this guy's shots and goals are always a little bit away.
But McCarthy is not the only one who can shoot in Porto. Deco, who can shoot within 25 meters, can also shoot suddenly.
In the 84th minute, Lin Yi got rid of Diarra's defense in the middle, and when Edmilson rushed to steal the ball, he cleverly lifted the ball to the middle.
Deco rushed to the top of the penalty area, which had become a defensive vacuum, and directly used his left foot to volley a high-quality shot without stopping the ball.
The tricky angle and enough force made Coupe almost stick his head on the left goal post in order to save the ball sideways.
In the last 20 minutes of the second half, the most roaring player in the entire Lyon team was probably Coupe. This guy yelled at his defenders in an almost crazy voice. It is estimated that this guy was about to point at the noses of each defender and curse.
It can be said that the Lyon team led by Le Guen was able to maintain the score of 0:2, thanks to Coupe who made high and low blocks on the goal line. If it weren't for his extraordinary performance, I'm afraid the French would have given up the next round of the game in despair when they left the Dragon Stadium.
When the game was over, even the French reporters who came to the Dragon Stadium with Lyon had to admit that they were lucky in the last 20 minutes.
Porto showed them what a real bombardment was, and the entire Porto midfield and frontcourt were involved in the wave of attack.
If McCarthy hadn't been destined to score today, perhaps this damn score would have secured a place in the Champions League semi-finals for Porto.
However, after the game, Mourinho did not show the kind of arrogance he showed when he won Manchester United. Instead, he seemed very calm, even a little too humble. "We just completed the task that should be completed at our home stadium. This is the effort of all the players. It has nothing to do with me personally."
But Le Guen, the loser, does not agree with Mourinho's view. "Based on the statistics of the whole season so far, we can draw such a conclusion. Porto has only lost one game this season until the end of this game, and the opponent is Real Madrid. This is definitely not luck."
Le Guen is not idle to promote good results for the other side, but he must now find a way to save himself and the team.
The higher the good results of Mourinho and Porto are raised, the embarrassment of Lyon's loss can be weakened from another aspect. Losing to a team that can beat Manchester United twice is not particularly shameful. Le Guen can only comfort himself in this way now.
In the face of Le Guen's compliments, Mourinho did not say much, but just smiled slightly, but this did not mean friendliness, because these are all facts.
"We just showed our attacking power well today at the Dragon Stadium, just like in the match against Manchester United, that's all."
Faced with the subsequent questioning, Mourinho chose to refuse. There was nothing to say. There was still one round of games to go. We'll see when the time comes.
No matter what Le Guen said in front of him, Mourinho didn't really think that his opponent would give up the second round at the Gerland Stadium.
Today's 2:0 only represents the past tense. The next game is a new beginning. Who will really have the last laugh? Let's see when the time comes.
However, Mourinho didn't make any shocking remarks, which did not mean that the Portuguese media would not seek justice for him and Porto for being despised.
However, it didn't matter to these Portuguese media people how the French media would evaluate this game, because they were the winners of the game.
The Portuguese media began to get busy. They all thought that the second game was just a formality. In fact, Porto had already entered the semi-finals.
According to statistics from past Champions League matches, there have been 115 comebacks from losing to winning in the Champions League held from 1955 to 2003 and the current Champions League, with the actual reversal rate being less than 17%, and Lyon's slump on the field does not look like a reversal at all.
Therefore, most Portuguese media said that Lyon is now trying to achieve an "impossible task", which is to blast Porto's goal at least three times at home, while Porto has only conceded three goals once this season, which was the defeat to Real Madrid in the group stage.
But what exactly happened in that game? I guess anyone from Porto can understand. Lyon wants to complete a reversal at home? You're dreaming!
And if Lyon wants to limit Porto's scoring in their home court, it is also a very difficult task. If those guys go crazy, I am afraid no one dares to say that they can completely block their offensive route, especially Lin Yi, who is simply a loach.
If they can block Lin Yi, maybe Lyon will not be so embarrassed today. That kid is simply an indestructible disaster.
Before Le Guen led the team to leave, the big screen of the Dragon Stadium was still playing the wonderful performance of that evil kid. Le Guen only hoped that this scene would not be repeated in Gerland. . .
(The Heat won, but they still fought on their own. Maybe Bosh should really leave. He is not suitable for this offensive system at all. . .)
