Midfielder

The power of more than 30,000 men in skirts is still very fierce. At least the commentator on the scene also joked about this weird scene during the introduction of the players. But the wild Scottish men on the scene were not interested in listening to this. They were more interested in hearing this. I want to cheer for my team.

Compared with these stout Scottish men in skirts, the fans from Portugal seem a bit too conservative, but there are also a few long and eye-catching Portuguese beauties who will add a bit of charm to the Olympic Stadium under the watchful eyes of the live cameras. .

However, the fans at the scene focused more on the game. The 22 people on the field were the focus of their attention. The next 90 minutes will be for these guys to provide support for the entire stadium. 60,000 people came to participate in a fierce competition.

Lin Yi looked at his teammates standing on the field. Maybe at this moment he wanted to be one of them, but looking back at Mourinho's expressionless face, Lin Yi still chose to respond obediently. He sat on the bench and, alas, who knows when he will actually play.

"The damn team doctor doesn't know what he said to this uncle, so now I can only sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity. Hey, I want to play." Lin Yi sat on the bench scratching his head, He looked at his teammates on the field with great sadness, but he could only sit there helplessly.

Although the group of tough Scottish men in the stands made Lin Yi's stomach twitch, it did not affect the official start of the game. As the referee blew his whistle in the center circle, The UEFA Cup championship battle between Porto and Celtic has officially begun.

Perhaps the cheers of nearly 60,000 people deeply stimulated these guys running on the field. These players seemed much more excited than usual when participating in the game. The referee did not even have time to get to his position. The Porto team A quite threatening attack has been completed.

Deco did not waste the good opportunity of the Porto team to take the lead. After Dallay and Kapusu kicked off the ball, Deco, who came up from behind to receive the ball, quickly used a fake move to get rid of the opponent's high center forward Sutton, who stepped forward to intercept, and then Dribbling the ball from the center, he quickly broke into the Celtic half.

After Deco kicked off the ball in the center circle, he broke through very quickly, which caught the Celtics a little off guard. Furthermore, Deco also played a long one-on-one with Maniche in the middle. The space in the frontcourt opened up gave him a very good passing opportunity.

At the moment when the opponent's defender came close to press, Deco had successfully passed the ball. About thirty meters away from the goal, he passed the ball laterally to Dallei, who was advancing quickly, and he His movement also drew the attention of a defensive player.

Being the top scorer still makes Dallay the most dangerous figure for the Celtics to defend. Mialby pounced on Dallay at the moment when he advanced. The Scotsman tackled fiercely. The interruption directly caused Dalley to lose the opportunity to take a leisurely shot.

However, the astute Brazilian did not let the attack be intercepted by the opponent here. He had already pushed the ball horizontally before jumping to avoid the tackle. His strike partner Kapusu seized this rare opportunity. The offensive opportunity was just a volley from outside the penalty area.

Kapusu's timing of shooting was very good. When the defenders' eyes were attracted by Deco and Dallay, he suddenly jumped out. This shot from outside the penalty area was very sudden, but This guy may have been too excited and didn't quite get his position right.

The football that was pulled out did not fly directly into the air as Kapushu wanted. Instead, it flew forward quickly against the tip of the grass. The speed of the football sliding on the grass was not as fast as expected, which made Celtic The goalkeeper of the team had ample reaction time.

Kapushu's ground ball failed to successfully knock on the opponent's door, but was directly thrown sideways by goalkeeper Douglas. This shot failed to turn into a goal, making Kapushu hugged it with both hands in frustration. head, and cursed something loudly on the spot.

However, Kapusu's sudden shot from the top of the arc outside the penalty area still caused more than 30,000 Scottish fans in the Olympic Stadium to let out huge exclamations, and Celtic goalkeeper Douglas even more It was an expression of strong dissatisfaction with his defensive players.

Douglas roared loudly at several of his defenders, reminding them to cheer up because he could not be the savior forever.

Indeed, if it weren't for Kapusu being too hasty before taking the shot and failing to adjust his body's center of gravity in time, perhaps this volley had already knocked on the door of the Celtics, and goalkeeper Douglas could have reacted to the shot. , also thanks to Kapusu's mistake.

Celtics head coach Martin O'Neill loudly reminded his players on the sidelines to stay awake at all times. The shot just now also reminded this courageous coach that Porto's attack Sharper and more ferocious than he imagined.

Mourinho also waved his hands helplessly at the edge of the coaching bench because the attack failed this time. At the moment when Dallay scored the ball at the top of the arc, Mourinho had already stood up and thought that the ball should be He could score, but the final result of this attack still left him a little disappointed.

If the game could take the lead at the beginning, then Porto would be able to smoothly grasp the initiative of the game, but now it seems that this quick attack only awakened the Scots and made the opponent more cautious in dealing with Porto's attack.

"Kapschu's shot always lacks sufficient accuracy at critical moments. If he can seize every opportunity like Dalley, maybe I don't have to consider introducing any forwards this summer." Mourinho also sighed softly for that shot.

Assistant coach Brito also knows why Mourinho is so melancholy. Compared with Dalley's high efficiency, Kapschu, who has begun to decline, is obviously no longer an excellent striker. Even if he can create scoring opportunities for him, it is difficult for him to seize them.

Kapschu is more often just a passer on the field or attracting the attention of the opponent's back line. He has only contributed 8 goals to the team in the entire league, even less than Postiga, who has not played for a long time due to injury.

When Mourinho and Brito communicated privately, this point was mentioned more than once. Brito could hear a general idea from Mourinho's words. It seems that the aging Kapshu will gradually move away from Porto's future after this summer.

Mourinho's transformation of Porto's forward line is imperative. In order to cope with the European Champions League next season, Mourinho can no longer use such inefficient forward players, and the European war field can't give you so many opportunities to waste luxuriously.

But in this situation, he can only rely on Kapshu and Dallei to stir up the opponent's penalty area. Porto can't find a qualified substitute to replace them now. Alas, he can only endure that guy continuing to waste opportunities.

As Mourinho worried in the coaching bench, Porto's opening attack failed to score, but directly woke up those fierce Scots. The opponent began to carefully organize its own defense, which was directly reflected in the corner kick taken by Porto.

Deco's corner kick from the left was already tricky enough. The strong rotation of the football made Celtic goalkeeper Douglas dare not rush to pick up the ball, but the Celtic defense line did not leave Porto any chance to compete for the header in the penalty area.

Even a brave guy like Carvalho was stuck behind by the sturdy bodies of the Scottish people. No Portuguese could successfully form a header threat at the front, middle and back points. Those Scottish people did not leave any chance for their opponents in their strengths.

After the attack planned by Deco, the Celtics quickly entered the state of the game. Every position began to use their most fierce defense to create trouble for the Porto players who were preparing for a large-scale attack. From this moment on, the game has entered a stalemate.

However, Porto still occupies an absolute initiative in the attack. Deco's wanton wandering in the front court puts great pressure on the Celtic defense line. This ubiquitous Brazilian always finds opportunities to pass the ball or directly threaten the goal.

Although Martin O'Neill had reminded his midfielders more than once on the sidelines to entangle Deco, the cunning Brazilian always found a way to penetrate the opponent's defense when the opponent's defenders were not paying attention, and he continued to create a deadly threat.

Four minutes after the start, Deco made a comeback. He cooperated with Dallei in a short pass at the front of the penalty area and almost broke through the Celtics' defense, which forced Celtics defender Valgaren to foul Dallei who had already started to move forward.

Heavy gunner Maniche was responsible for the direct free kick from 25 meters away, but his heavy artillery was blocked by Larsson standing in the wall, and Porto defender Paulo Ferreira found a chance to kick from the outside.

His low right-foot shot from 15 meters away went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. Douglas, who once again became the Celtics' guardian, rushed to the left and hit the ball out. Celtic fans have been subjected to two severe mental tests in less than 5 minutes.

However, just as Porto continued to besiege the Celtic team's goal, Costinha, who had been hovering near the midfield and intercepting the opponent's pass, suddenly fell to the ground without the ball, which made Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, feel his heart tighten.

Looking at Costinha's body rolling on the grass and his painful expression, as well as his right knee tightly hugged with both hands, Mourinho almost squeezed out a swear word from his teeth, "Damn, this damn injury!"

This is definitely a very bad accident, and this accident has disrupted Porto's offensive rhythm. Those Porto players who watched Costinha being carried out of the field on a stretcher were a little overwhelmed. Including Deco, they all looked solemn.

Because no one knows what kind of changes this damn accident can bring to Porto, is it good? Is it bad? No one knows. . .
