Midfielder

Chapter 97 The Soul of Porto

Real Madrid's attack failed to tear Porto's defense as smoothly as in the first half. Although they had many shooting opportunities, the absolute scoring opportunities were not as many as in the first half. Maybe Ronaldo and his guys now have to realize that they have wasted too many opportunities.

During the 20 minutes they besieged Porto, the gate guarded by Baia still could not be knocked open by them. Even Ronaldo received the ball and shot twice in the penalty area, but he could not get through Baia's ten fingers. The score of 1:1 has not been rewritten by anyone.

Now these proud Real Madrid players may have realized a very serious problem. Lin Yi's strange goal brought them a very big trouble. Now Porto will never easily give them control of the game.

The Porto players who have recovered began to forget who they were facing and how great the other side was. Now in their eyes, there are only 11 opponents from other sides, and only enemies who try to take victory from them.

Carvalho and Emmanuel, who began to become tough, used their courage and bodies to build a solid defense line in front of Porto's goal. They used the pursuit of physical confrontation to push Ronaldo away from the penalty area as much as possible, or let him have fewer shooting angles.

Such fierce confrontation also made Ronaldo gradually lose the opportunity to receive the ball calmly in the penalty area. Although this alien is still the killer that Porto needs to fear the most, it is no longer like the time when the game started. Ronaldo's chances are decreasing.

And Maniche and Bosingwa, who are responsible for the midfield wing defense, also firmly blocked the opponent's attempt to open a gap on the wing. Although Figo's extraordinary footsteps are still light and agile, Maniche's fierceness also made this Portuguese team's soul figure suffer the toughest sniping.

Now Figo, whose absolute speed is no longer at his peak, still has to rely on technology and experience to get past the opponent's defense, but Maniche is like a piece of sticky candy, firmly attached to him. As long as he wants to start, Maniche will definitely get stuck in front of him.

Although he is not tall, Maniche's persistence is his best weapon. This fierce guy uses a tough approach to fight Figo.

Just like what Mourinho told the midfielders in the locker room, the midfielders of Porto have thrown away their habits in the Portuguese Super League. They are using tenacious defense and destruction without aesthetics to completely disrupt the rhythm that Real Madrid is good at.

They keep in mind what Mourinho said, don't try to compete with these superstars to see whose skills are more gorgeous. Porto can now rely on the most practical method. Can't break it? It doesn't matter, just knock that guy down directly, which is more effective than anything else!

As long as they are not sent off by the referee, Mourinho allows these players to use any means to defend, including fouls and even intimidation.

As long as they can disrupt the opponent's best rhythm, as long as they can keep those people away from dangerous areas, they can do whatever they want. These players can decide on the field. He only needs the final result. As for the process, he doesn't care at all.

The boos of the Spaniards rang out in the Dragon Stadium, but soon their voices were drowned out by even louder roars. Now the supporters of the Porto team just wanted to watch their team continue to fight and let these kings from Spain understand whose territory this is!

Maniche, a defensive player who is often stubborn, is waiting for such an opportunity. He has no time or mood to play defensive awareness with Figo.

As long as Figo uses technology to pass him on the wing, then Maniche will directly knock down the top star of Portugal. According to what this guy said himself, he can't do embroidery work, but he is quite good at turning the game into a physical confrontation.

There was even a time when the commentator on the scene was worried whether Maniche would really kill Figo in the game. You know, this guy's fierce tackles and grabs have twice directly knocked Figo to the ground, and once Figo was knocked out of the sideline and fell on the billboard.

Although the referee gave Maniche a yellow card as a warning, he couldn't stop Maniche from continuing to fight against the gorgeousness with such ferocity.

Figo should now worry about whether he can survive. If he wants to open a gap in the attack from this guy, he may have to pay a heavy price. The European Cup next year is not far away, and Figo does not want to miss this last chance to win honor for the country.

Such a rise and fall has suppressed the wing attack of Real Madrid. It is a bit too difficult for a guy like Solari to get past Bosingwa's defense. This African tough guy will not let anyone pass through his defense zone easily.

Only Zidane was not completely targeted in the frontcourt attack combination of Real Madrid, but the power of one person seemed very weak at this time.

This is not that Costinha was lazy in defense, but the Frenchman was very smart not to trap himself in the encirclement of the Porto team. He was more likely to linger around the arc of the center circle to find the opportunity to organize the attack, but the difficulty was quite great.

Such a long distance also reduced his chances of directly threatening Baia's shot, and Ronaldo on the forward line also seemed a bit alone.

The only one who can cause trouble for Porto now is Beckham, who is hovering in the defensive midfielder position. His long passes are always so accurate, flat and fast, which always disrupts the rhythm of Porto when defending.

However, Ferreira has one less worry now. Carlos, who frequently attacked his defensive side in the first half, finally became quiet.

Without Carlos's 11-second 100-meter rapid assault, Ferreira's defense is less threatening. The Brazilian is now afraid to press forward easily because of Lin Yi's surprise attack. This is the result Mourinho wants most.

Only by cutting off Real Madrid's offensive wave can Porto find a chance to win. Now he is waiting for who will make this move.

You must know that in the second half, when Real Madrid was attacking non-stop, Lin Yi had already passed two passes directly behind the Brazilian. If it weren't for Dallei's poor cross, McCarthy might have successfully knocked on the door guarded by Casillas.

Even so, Casillas was frightened to death. Both headers brushed the goal frame and flew out. The distance was so close that he could not react.

Lin Yi seemed to have Carlos in his grasp. He attacked the left side of the Brazilian turtle defense desperately. He and Dallei frequently looked for opportunities to cooperate on this side. Every harassment initiated by him always made Carlos a little embarrassed.

Although Lin Yi's physique was not as solid as that of the Brazilian turtle, his dexterity and accurate passing always found the space behind Carlos in time. Every pass made the opponent uncomfortable. The unlucky Bravo had to come out frequently to clean up the mess for Carlos.

But who dared to expect this club-like guy to play a big role in defense? Among them, if Elguera had not foreseeing the bad luck in advance and turned back to chase and intercepted the ball with a fierce tackle, Bravo might have become the next sinner.

Such a mistake in the defense is intolerable to Queiroz. It may be the first time that he roared at Carlos and Bravo on the sidelines.

Now Queiroz doesn't care whether you are a superstar or not. If this damn defense loophole continues to be open to Porto, maybe it won't take long before he will be like his predecessor Box and will soon be kicked out of Real Madrid.

When facing his future, Queiroz will not take care of anyone's face. He must use his roar to remind these big names.

Even if Carlos will be dissatisfied after the game, it is not a problem that Queiroz needs to consider now. If this game cannot be won smoothly or loses very badly, then he may receive a call from Florentino to fire himself on the way back to the hotel.

Queiroz's rage and Casillas' dissatisfaction forced Carlos to stop his forward steps. An own goal was enough to make this Brazilian turtle depressed, and he didn't want to make himself a target of public criticism after the game.

This may be the first time that Carlos has done his job as a left back, although his defense is not that good compared to his offense.

The loopholes in the back line made Real Madrid's offense unsustainable. Even their two defensive midfielders were tied to the backcourt by Lin Yi and McCarthy. The four or five people in the frontcourt were obviously lacking in stamina.

Fighting, pulling, fouling, Mourinho used the ugliest method to lock Real Madrid's gorgeousness. Although the scene seemed very chaotic, the effect was obvious. Even if Real Madrid continued to attack, they seemed to have few ways.

Real Madrid's impatience began to increase their unforced errors after continuous setbacks in the offense. Even Zidane had passed two inexplicable balls in the frontcourt, and Ronaldo, who could not receive the ball, complained and waved his hands frequently at Solari and Figo.

When these superstars start to get anxious, they will make mistakes and encounter inexplicable situations just like ordinary players. Once such mistakes are spotted by opponents, they will definitely cause a huge disaster. Lin Yi is waiting for this opportunity.

This is the case on the football field. There are always some guys who suddenly go crazy. Sometimes they can help the team, but sometimes they can cause a lot of trouble for the team. Elguera made Queiroz experience a real journey to hell.

It was originally a plain horizontal pass. This is Elguera's habitual action in the defensive midfielder position. Compared with Beckham, his not-so-good long pass technology is naturally much worse, so Elguera rarely chooses to use long-distance passes to help the forward line.

But this pass, which should have been very safe, was messed up by this guy. When Lin Yi came up to press him, this guy did not choose to pass the ball in the first time. I don't know if Elguera's nerves short-circuited at this moment. He actually wanted to pass Lin Yi first.

But just when Lin Yi rushed over to steal the ball, this guy seemed to change his mind suddenly. He was already making a fake move to dribble the football, and suddenly moved sideways to try to kick the ball out. His hesitation and slow movements gave Lin Yi enough opportunities.

At the moment when Elguera hesitated, Lin Yi took a big step and tackled the ball to directly intercept the guy's weak pass.

"Intercept the ball! Lin Yi successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt!" The voice of the on-site commentary focused the attention of tens of thousands of people on the confrontation between Lin Yi and Elguera. The foot that kicked the ball away also became the focus of the audience. Almost all the fans of the Porto team clenched their fists at this moment.

Beckham, who had already started running in advance, never expected that his partner with a short circuit would make such a mistake, and it was only a dozen meters away from the penalty area. Maybe Beckham just wanted to say to Elguera, "FUCK YOU!"

When the top handsome guy in England was about to turn around and chase, the black-haired boy had already started to accelerate and rushed directly to the left rib of the penalty area. His starting speed had made Beckham lose the desire to continue chasing because the distance was really too big.

The two defensive midfielders were easily shaken away, and now Queiroz's buttocks were covered with 502 glue. It is estimated that he could not sit as steady as a mountain in the coaching seat. When he saw this scene, he was already standing on the sidelines nervously.

But the guys on the Real Madrid defense line were probably more nervous than him, especially when Pavan and Bravo saw Dallei and McCarthy also quickly advancing in the middle like swords, they seemed even more desperate.

Who to stare at? Who not to stare at? I'm afraid these two guys can't tell what they should do. Thanks to Casillas' roar, they didn't stay in a daze on the defense line, and Carlos and Salgado on the wing also began to move closer to the center.

3VS4 duel, an excellent offensive opportunity, now it depends on whether Lin Yi, who is rushing with the ball, can seize this opportunity. Even the on-site commentator was a little excited when he saw this scene, and everyone seemed to be looking forward to the birth of a miracle.

Perhaps because he had not learned the painful lesson from the last time, Paven was the first guy to rush over to defend Lin Yi. Then, he became the victim without any suspense, and tragically became a foil in a very gorgeous performance of Lin Yi.

Facing Paven who rushed over with clumsy hands and feet, Lin Yi had a hundred ways to pass him, and this little guy chose the most gorgeous way. When Paven rushed over to intercept Lin Yi, maybe he should really regret his recklessness.

At the moment when Paven approached, Lin Yi's right foot quickly flicked the football outward with the outside of his foot. When Paven's body center of gravity just moved, Lin Yi's movement suddenly accelerated. After that flick, he quickly flicked back again with the arch of his right foot.

"Wow! God, how did that little guy do that? What did we see!? Bull tail pass! Lin Yi used the way of playing idiots to make Paven act like an idiot. Look at the guy's expression. He didn't even know what happened! This is a great performance!"

While the commentator was still using his high-pitched voice to mobilize the atmosphere on the scene, Lin Yi had already cut into the penalty area along the ribs. His short-distance sprint made Paven not even have the chance to foul. Carlos, who had already retreated into the penalty area, had no way to stop this kid.

Only Salgado used his slender thighs to slide and tackle, but Lin Yi's continuous dunking action directly made this poor guy fly out of the baseline. This tragic background male No. 2 player could only use his body to make close contact with the billboard.

Pass! After Lin Yi shook off Paven and Salgado, he stuffed the ball directly into the most dangerous place in the penalty area without any hesitation. Carlos tried to block his shooting angle and Bravo was ready to defend.

The four defenders of Real Madrid have focused all their attention on Lin Yi. When the kid knocked the ball to the middle with a coherent movement, there was no one around McCarthy and Dallei who could interfere with them.

The great "Saint Casillas" has now completely become "Casillas left". What can this guy do alone? And he is facing two forwards from the other side. If those two guys are bad enough, they can completely use a two-on-one method to kill the Spanish goalkeeper.

There is no suspense in the shot. Casillas did not fail to judge the direction, but his save at such a close distance can only be a very helpless ending. The football with a whistling sound hit the net fiercely, accompanied by the cheers of the entire Dragon Stadium.

"The ball goes in! McCarthy broke the stalemate with a volley in a one-on-one duel! Porto is now leading 2:1!"

"Great shot, great assist, Lin Yi once again showed his opponent how terrible he is with his magical performance!" In the shouting of the on-site commentator, tens of thousands of people in the entire Dragon Stadium were almost standing in their seats and shouting Lin Yi's name loudly.

At this moment, Lin Yi also stood by his teammates' corner flag, raising two fingers high to the sky. At this moment, he was the soul of the Porto team.

Tough, fierce, and deadly, this is everything Lin Yi brought to the Porto team, and his two most deadly knives have been inserted into the chest of the Real Madrid team. Those noble Spaniards are watching their chests bleeding. . .
