Midfielder

Just five minutes into the game, the crazy offensive flames of Lyon were extinguished by Lin Yi's feet, and the score of 1:0 made the French desperate.

If Le Guen wanted to beat Porto 2:0 at home, it was already a delusion for him, but now Porto is leading with a total score of 3:0.

In Lyon's history, there was once a heroic feat of losing 0:2 and then making a big comeback, but that was more than 30 years ago.

They did this once recently. In the League Cup two seasons ago, Lyon first lost to Bruges 4:1 away, and then defeated the opponent 3:0 at home, with Sony Anderson performing a hat trick. But this time, the opponent they met was obviously stronger and had super strong nerves.

Le Guen couldn't expect Porto to make any mistakes at this time, especially Mourinho who was standing on the sidelines and was always calm.

It was almost impossible to make that guy make a mistake. In the last season's games, Porto has never lost a game when it was leading.

Even Manchester United couldn't take advantage of Porto. With Lyon's current lineup, can they do it? Le Guen is a little confused now.

However, the players on the field of Lyon did not become very depressed because of this goal. Maybe it didn't matter to them.

Since they have already lost like this, what else can't they let go? Now these French people are only thinking about how to knock Porto's defense.

As for the final result, it doesn't matter anymore. They are already 0:3 behind. Who cares if they will lose the ball again? Attack!

Sometimes football games are like this. Only when you are on the verge of despair can you play at a superhuman level. Lyon is like this.

When they were completely pushed to the edge of the cliff, these guys threw away those elegant and beautiful kicks and became like a group of desperate men.

The huge difficulty of advancing has inspired the fighting spirit of the French. They have been firmly besieging Porto's half for 20 minutes.

This may be the craziest period of the Lyon team in these two games. They continuously created many threatening attacks in front of the goal. Both of Elber's shots made Baia make world-class saves, and Juninho's free kick of more than 30 meters directly hit the goal post.

The French team also became very fierce in the midfield. There was absolutely no intention to hold back. Everyone was entangled with Porto. Deco and Jorge Costa were both yellow cards for intercepting the opponent's attack in the midfield and backcourt.

The French attack finally took effect in the 25th minute. Malouda received a through ball from the left and broke through quickly. He made an accurate bottom cross. Luyindula stopped the ball with his chest before Valente stretched out his foot to intercept, and then gently poked it in a semi-air state.

This irregular shot, as if by magic, passed safely between Baia who left the goal and Valente who came to block it, and floated into the net.

Luyindula's sudden shot rolled into the net, which made Baia and Valente, who was unable to block it, quite melancholy.

After defending the goal for more than 20 minutes, the opponent's strange shot knocked it open. Baia was so angry that he grabbed the football and kicked it hard.

However, Baia couldn't say much. Maniche was attracted by Lyon's central attack just now, which made Porto's left side very empty.

After all, Valente couldn't take care of everything by himself. Just like this is called passing, facing this kind of ground straight pass that fills the gap, even if it is a predictive interception, Valente alone is not enough, so he was picked up by Luyindula behind him.

And that shot was too fucking weird. Baia's body was fully unfolded, but there was only a little space left, and the ball slipped past.

I guess even Luyindula didn't know whether this shot could go in. Anyway, he just took a shot like this, completely gambling on luck.

But that's how football games are. No matter how unreliable the opponent's shot is, if it goes in, it goes in. The opponent finally equalized the score this time.

The score of 1:1 made the Gerland Stadium boil again. Those French fans seemed to see the hope of advancing, and they began to shout wildly.

"Lyon! Lyon! Great France! Great Gerland!" This goal gave the French too much courage, and hope was rekindled again.

Even the French host in charge of the TV broadcast said, "Maybe, we can create the craziest reversal in the history of the Champions League in Gerland!"

There are more than 60 minutes left, maybe, maybe there will be a miracle. At least now Lyon's crazy offensive posture has given many people hope.

Although they are still three goals behind, according to these French people, their goal frenzy may be coming soon, and the counterattack has begun!

What the French are considering now is not whether they can score three goals against Porto, but they want to see Lyon continue to score goals.

Instead of being pressed in their own penalty area and bombarded like in away games, until they were beaten to death, they didn't have time to fight back.

We are not afraid of losing, since Lyon has only risen from the French Ligue 2 in the past few years. But what Lyon fans want to see is that the team can attack.

Since the game has come to this point, what else can't we risk? Defense can't bring promotion or goals, not to mention that we can't defend it!

Lyon is ready to fight to the end this time. Win or lose is a one-shot deal. They have no other way out except attacking.

Seeing the opponent's momentum, Mourinho made tactical adjustments for the first time. He is not used to letting the team play so timidly.

"Maniche, you go and keep an eye on that Brazilian. Remember, my requirement is to keep him close to me, unless he leaves the court and returns to the locker room now!"

Mourinho will never let Juninho move freely on the court at this time. He must curb the Brazilian's passing.

In order to achieve this goal, Mourinho would rather give up his defense on the left side and let Maniche free up his hands to completely defend Juninho.

Mourinho trusts Maniche's sticky defense. As long as the Brazilian is not allowed to move and pass at will, Lyon's offensive threat will be reduced by half, or even more. An attack without a commander will lose its due power no matter how fierce it is.

Luyindula? Forget it. Although that guy just scored a goal, Mourinho doesn't think that guy will be the savior of Lyon.

After giving orders to Maniche, Mourinho directed the tactical adjustment to the midfield. He was a little depressed watching the previous 20 minutes.

"Lin Yi, Deco, you two must ensure that the team can control the ball. We are not the Italian team. We can't just think about retreating to the half court!"

The 3:0 lead made Lin Yi and Deco relax their control over the front court. Mourinho's roar was a reminder to them.

The two guys knew that they might have been too intoxicated by the big lead just now. This kind of mistake must not be made again, otherwise it would be bad.

Just as Le Guen worried, Mourinho rarely made mistakes, especially when the situation was under his control, he would not make mistakes.

This guy just stood on the sidelines and roared twice. After the kick-off, Porto regained control of the rhythm on the field and took the initiative again.

The most important thing is that guy Maniche, who completely bit Juninho. He was like a shadow, following the Brazilian closely.

Juninho's free space in the first 20 minutes was completely gone now. He had to fight with his opponent desperately to receive the ball.

Such close defense is just like the man-to-man defense in basketball games. Juninho has no chance to pass and organize comfortably.

Originally, after the absence of Gove, most of Lyon's offense had to bet on Juninho. Now, he is almost exhausted by being stared at.

And Mourinho's defense is not the most fatal. Le Guen is most worried that Deco and Lin Yi, the two crazy guys, will suddenly go crazy again!

However, his worry was soon verified. Mourinho's roar made Lin Yi and Deco active again in the midfield.

From the 30th minute to the 37th minute, in a short period of seven minutes, Porto planned a total of three shots that were determined to win.

Maniche's powerful long-range shot near the penalty area made Coupe fall like a dog when he tried to save the ball, and his hands were numb from the shock.

After Lin Yi dribbled past Diarra, he made a seemingly careless pass, allowing Deco to seize the opportunity to shoot in the penalty area. If it weren't for Edmilson's big butt blocking part of Deco's shooting angle, Coupe might not be able to save this shot even if he was exhausted.

As for McCarthy, the poor guy, he wasted the one-on-one ball that Deco passed to him from Essien's crotch. This guy kicked the billboard angrily.

When Dallei saw this scene off the court, he jumped up in a hurry. If he had that opportunity, he would never be like McCarthy.

However, Mourinho did not plan to make a substitution at the last minute. Compared with Dallei, McCarthy has his own advantages. His physical fitness is absolutely first-class.

Especially in the confrontation with Essien and Edmilson, the South African can always protect the ball well in the frontcourt and wait for his teammates to support.

There were two times when he knocked back in the penalty area, which created good opportunities for Deco and Lin Yi who were inserted in the back row. This job was not done by Dallei.

So, in the offensive battle, Mourinho trusted McCarthy more, but if he waited for him to play with two strikers, he would definitely slaughter the opponent.

In such a short time, such intensive counterattacks, and more threatening each time, made Le Guen want to cry without tears. The Lyon team, which finally stood firm in this round of crazy attack, was completely speechless this time. Not only did they fail to narrow the score gap, but they also let the opponent press back.

Although their attack could also threaten the goal of the Porto team, the quality of the pass between the midfielders on both sides at this time had already determined many things.

What the French wanted at this time was not a tug-of-war on the field. They needed to let the rhythm of the game be on their side and make everything up to themselves!

But Mourinho and the Porto team would not fulfill their wishes. Now they just want to make the game chaotic. The more chaotic it is, the better it is for them.

In the last attack of the first half, Bosingwa received a long pass from Deco in the midfield, cut inside quickly, shook off De Flandre and rushed to the goal with the ball.

This guy suddenly cut inside and directly formed a one-on-one situation with Coupet. Unfortunately, this tragic guy Bosingwa is not a natural killer at all.

He strangely did not choose to shoot directly, but when facing Coupe's attack, he actually tried to fake past the opponent, and tragedy happened.

Bosingwa is used to being a winger and a full-back. He rarely does the work of a striker. When such a good opportunity came in front of him, he didn't know how to play. Coupe didn't even make any saves. He got mixed up first and fell to the ground with a slight contact with Coupe's feet.

Penalty? Le Guen was a little confused at this time. He prayed that it was not a penalty. If it was a penalty, then the game would basically be over.

Mourinho also watched the referee's actions intently. The black-clad judge ran quickly to the scene of the incident, reaching for a card while running.

However, the referee did not raise the yellow card to Coupe, who looked innocent, but waved it at Bosingwa, who was still rolling on the grass.

Fake fall! The referee who had been paying attention to all this not far away was not an idiot. Bosingwa's fall this time was mostly due to tripping himself.

Cheating a penalty? Dream on! Although Bosingwa tried to argue after getting up, the referee warned him with his eyes that if he kept talking nonsense, the next card would be a red card!

This was the last offensive before the end of the first half. Lyon still had 45 minutes in the second half, and they needed to score three more goals.

I really don't know if Le Guen felt a headache at the moment. Anyway, this damn game was an extremely torturous torment for him.

But Le Guen may not know that more tormenting things are still to come. When the second half of the game just started for one minute, the disaster came again.

At the beginning of the second half, the Porto team seemed to have taken stimulants during the halftime break. There was a storm of violent attacks. Before the Lyon players could recover, Lin Yi had already forced through the two blockades of Juninho and Diarra in the middle.

When the two central defenders of the Lyon team tried to intercept Lin Yi near the penalty area, the boy suddenly shot while dribbling the ball.

Perhaps Edmilson and Essien were too concerned about Lin Yi's ability to break through, and ignored that he might suddenly shoot from anywhere.

This shot was completed while running, but Lin Yi did not exert particularly fierce force. He shot at an angle when the opponent rushed over.

When Coupe saw the ball flying past Edmilson, he had lost the opportunity to move in advance and could only jump on the spot.

He stretched his fingertips as far as he could and touched the ball, preventing the cold shot from entering the net, but the crisis was not over. The ball that bounced out was still in the penalty area and was attracted by Lin Yi. His two central defenders were unable to turn around and clear the ball in time, but someone seized such a gap.

The ball that bounced out was still rolling on the grass, and Coupe had not yet climbed up from the goal line, but he saw a foot slapping the ball hard.

The football passed over Coupe's head with a whistling sound, and the unlucky French team's second goalkeeper didn't even have a chance to reach out to stop it.

"Damn it! Damn it!" When Le Guen saw the football hit the net, he kicked the beverage bottle on the ground on the sidelines, splashing water.

Deco! Lyon's empty penalty area was once again penetrated by Porto's guys, and it was another one-on-one shot!

When Deco rushed into Lyon's penalty area to grab this point, there was not even a defensive player around him, damn missing a man!

The level of defense! Le Guen forgot how many times he had emphasized this issue in the locker room just now, but everything was in vain when the game started!

But anger can't solve any problems. This goal has completely extinguished Lyon's last glimmer of hope, and Porto is leading again 2:1.

"The game is over at this moment." Whether Le Guen is willing to admit it or not, he must accept this helpless result.

There are still more than 40 minutes, but Lyon must now make the score 5:2 to successfully advance. This is probably a task that only God can accomplish.

Looking at the Porto people cheering passionately, Le Guen was unwilling, but the reality is so cruel. His and Lyon's Champions League journey has ended.

In the remaining time of the second half, Porto used cruel facts to tell those French fans what is truly elegant control.

Lin Yi and Deco went back and forth in the frontcourt, making the entire Porto midfield extremely penetrating. The two of them firmly controlled the rhythm.

This made Juninho look so lonely and helpless, and the remaining Lyon players completely became the foil of Porto's collective dance.

Although one minute before the end of the game, Elber seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity and broke through Carvalho's defense to equalize the score.

But this is not a comfort for the French, because even at the Gerland Stadium, they are not the masters on the court.

The black-haired kid was the dominant player on the field. He and Deco were the core players at the Gerland Stadium, driving Porto forward.

With a draw against Lyon, Porto had already secured their ticket to the Champions League semi-finals. Now they just had to wait for their next opponent to arrive.

But Mourinho did not join the players' carnival at the end of the game because he had heard a piece of news that surprised everyone.

During the injury time, Brito told Mourinho the score of another game. He raised four fingers to Mourinho.

"Mourinho, the score in Spain is 4-0." When Brito said this, he looked a little surprised.

Mourinho didn't think much about it. He just asked: "Milan scored so many goals?" The last game was 4:1, and this game scored four more goals? Crazy.

Brito answered him very simply: 'No, Deportivo La Coruna scored four goals. ", Mourinho: ". . . . . . . . ".

At this moment, he just wanted to say that this was not only the most unexpected opponent, he also knew clearly that in this world, it turned out that Porto was not the only crazy team!

Damn, this crazy world!!!
