Midfielder

6:5, don’t get me wrong, this is not the score in the first half. Even if Benfica and Porto are crazy enough, they are not so shocking.

But this is the statistics of their shots within the goal frame in the first half. Let's look at their number of shots, 11:9.

This seemingly terrifying offensive momentum continued throughout the entire game within 45 minutes. Shooting and offense became everything in the game. Everyone on the field seemed to only be thinking about offense.

There is no possibility of stopping. The crazy atmosphere urges the two teams to attack with the strongest tone. Now there is only a flood of offense on the court. Both teams devote all their energy to the offense. .

That suffocating and crazy feeling, there was no time for them to stop for a moment to stabilize their defense. The speed of offense and defense transition on the field exceeded everyone's imagination, including the players themselves who were unable to control their running pace.

Even if the head coaches of the two teams want to slow down the rhythm now, it is impossible. The entire first half of the game was spent in this fast break rhythm. Regardless of whether the guys on the field want to play like this, they There is no way to slow down the damn speed.

Attack, counterattack, and then counterattack again. In the entire first half of the game, there was hardly much time to control the ball steadily. The pace of the attack was so fast that it made people breathless.

The transition in the midfield is astonishingly fast. Almost one or two kicks can immediately burn the flames of war to the opponent's goal. The two teams seem to only have eyes for the goal and shooting! Another shot! That's what the game is all about.

Baia and Moreira became the busiest people in the two teams in the first half. They made thrilling saves time and time again and denied the football outside the gate they guarded.

Their colleagues who were completing the save invariably shouted angrily at their defenders, "Don't let those guys get the chance to shoot too easily! Push it out and let them leave the penalty area! Damn it, don't let them come over! Let them Get away from them!"

Until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the tens of thousands of spectators in the Dragon Stadium seemed to be still immersed in the madness of the offense and could not extricate themselves. These 45 minutes may have made them forget the existence of time.

They shouted, exclaimed, clenched their fists for every shot of Benfica, and shouted hoarse for every attack of Porto.

The commentator on the scene was probably the busiest person this night, because this was the first time that he felt that his words could not keep up with the rhythm of the field. I am afraid that now he has bitten his tongue several times because of speaking too fast. .

"God! Simao got another chance to shoot! Paul, what are you doing? Why don't you hold him? God bless, the great Baia made another perfect save. Today may be his best performance of the season. A perfect one.”

"Damn Aldel! This Benfica big ass blocked Deco's great shot again! These lucky Lisbon people! They have blocked several attacks from Porto in this way. Could it be that Benfica is picking a defender? , do you all choose those with particularly big butts?”

"Oh! Look, our little guy played with that idiot Patty again! Hey! Foul! God, couldn't the referee see all this? It was an obvious pulling action. This should be a Free kick in the frontcourt! This is an obvious whistle!”

"Listen, the entire Dragon Stadium is booing the guy in black. His idiotic behavior has caused Porto to miss several free kicks. This is the gift the fans gave him. Boo as much as you like, let this guy hurry up I know how bad my performance is!"

"Shoot! Oh NO, damn, Dallei's shot was saved by the lucky guy Moreira again. Lin Yi's pass was wasted again. This should have been a standard scoring opportunity. Look. With that depressed look on his face, Dalrey knew what he was missing."

Such frequent goal attacks made the on-site commentator feel his throat rising when the referee blew the half-time whistle. He may not have experienced such a heated scene for too long.

The atmosphere in the Dragon Stadium not only burned the players, but also burned the throats of all the fans. It is estimated that the drink sales here will be very good today, because everyone can feel that their vocal cords need to cool down.

The poor commentator barely had any time in the first half to do anything to lighten the mood, which is what he does best.

But he no longer cares about those things. He must now put all his energy into explaining the fierce game. The madness on the court has left him no time to joke about anything. The excitement of the game has surpassed those Topics for small talk.

"It seems that I really need to apply to find a good partner, otherwise I will definitely die after this game. This is so exciting!" This may be the best comment on the game scene, crazy attack It lit up everyone's bodies, including the players and everyone watching the game.

Attack against attack, this is the common choice of the two teams. Benfica's tearing from the wing and Simao's cruising have become their sharpest weapons.

Simao, who can roam at will, has become the sharpest thorn in Porto's half. Every time he appears, he threatens the gate guarded by Baia.

In the first half, Simao created as many as 5 shooting opportunities, and Paulo Ferreira, who was responsible for marking him, became the busiest person on the field.

However, Ferreira's busyness did not stop Benfica's attack from threatening their own goal again and again. It must be said that Benfica's attack in the first half was not only not at a disadvantage in terms of number, but they were also on par with Porto in terms of shooting threats.

Compared with the Benfica offensive line led by Simao and Cardoso, Porto's offensive group in the front court contributed an equally dazzling performance. Lin Yi and Deco frequently switched positions, allowing the football to shuttle back and forth more freely in the front court.

This also created a lot of trouble for the opponent when marking themselves. After all, Benfica's defensive players could not always use man-to-man defense to entangle both of them at the same time. The opportunities created by such frequent changes of positions sometimes seemed more deadly.

Especially when Lin Yi faced Petti's defense, he didn't give this strong guy any chance to stop him. He either kicked the ball directly past his opponent, or his dexterity would make Petti extremely embarrassed.

Coupled with Kapshu and Dallei's ability to stir up trouble in Benfica's penalty area, Benfica's goal was often in a state of panic. If Moreira hadn't performed exceptionally well, or if they had strong enough luck, perhaps Dallei and his team would have knocked on Benfica's door long ago.

11 shots, 6 hit the goal frame, this efficiency is not low, but luck is obviously not on the side of Porto. Lin Yi's goal post and several shots that flew out of the goal failed to form the final score.

Maybe God didn't want the game to lose suspense so early. At least in the first half, Porto's luck was not on their side. After such a crazy attack, they could only helplessly return to the locker room with a score of 0:0.

All fans may be looking forward to the second half of the game starting early. Such a game may not have appeared for a long time, especially it is related to the ownership of this season's championship, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the next 45 minutes.

But Mourinho and Toni, the two head coaches, hope that time can be suspended, because they have too many things to do now.

The 45-minute bombardment consumed a lot of physical strength of both teams, especially Porto, who had just experienced a big battle in the League Cup three days ago. Compared with the resting Benfica team, their situation may be worse.

Not only is the physical consumption a bit large, but also because such consumption did not bring goals, Mourinho can't let the players relax now. There are only 45 minutes left in the whole game, and they must solve the opponent within these 45 minutes.

Otherwise, all their efforts will seem a bit ridiculous. After all, no one will pay attention to how many shots you have and how beautiful your attack is.

The result will be the premise that determines everything. If you can't win the game, everything will be in vain. Mourinho knows very well that winning is the hard truth.

Mourinho seized every moment to tell his frontcourt players how to break the opponent's attack more effectively. At some point in the first half, Porto's attack seemed too slow.

"Play the ball faster, so that the pass becomes an opportunity to find loopholes in the defense, and the four of you should move more flexibly when attacking, and don't let the opponent stare at you." Mourinho pointed at Lin Yi, Deco, Dallei and Kapshu and said.

Lin Yi panted and nodded to indicate that he understood Mourinho's order. This kind of intense physical contact was the first time for Lin Yi. He fought hard enough in the first half, but it was obviously not enough.

The short halftime break was spent in such rapid breathing. After completing all the instructions, Mourinho clapped his hands, indicating that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"There are still 45 minutes left. My requirement is to win the game! This is our territory. Letting them take away one point is our shame!"

The Porto guys replaced all words with the loudest shouts, which already represented their determination to win the game. They will continue the crazy offensive momentum in the first half until they win the game.

But everything was not as good as they expected. When the second half was just lit and Mourinho had not yet stood firm on the sidelines, Benfica's first shot directly opened the door guarded by Baia.

This was a complete accident. It was a goal that annoyed the Porto people, because Simao's attack did not directly pass through Baia's ten fingers, but Paulo Ferreira's foot that stretched out to stop Simao's shot determined everything.

A damn change of line, Baia's prediction of the direction of the football became his mistake. When the football went into the net from the other side of his save, Baia's eyes looked so helpless.

The unexpected loss of the ball made the whole stadium silent. Is Porto going to lose? I'm afraid no one knows the answer...
