There is a dream called football

Chapter 103 Four Forwards

"José gambled."

Mourinho replaced Alberto, replaced Costinha, removed the midfielder, and added an offensive point. With 10 minutes left, Mourinho did choose to gamble.

Ferguson's hands are shaking because the situation at this time is too exciting. If Manchester United does not concede the ball, then they will have the last laugh. If unfortunately they concede the goal, then 3 to 3, Manchester United will lose one away goal.

Disadvantage is eliminated.

The fans who can come to Old Trafford to watch the game all know football, and they also know the situation at this time, so they are all worried about their team.

"Cheer up, guys." Scholes reminded his teammates to strengthen their defense and hold on until the end.

Ferguson did not make any substitutions. On the one hand, he was satisfied. On the other hand, he also suffered the disadvantage of being conservative. He might as well maintain the pressure on his opponents. Putting Ronaldo and Solskjaer in front is a threat to his opponents.

If your opponent dares to attack too hard, then watch your back.

The pass couldn't be opened, and Maniche rounded the ball, which was a volley. Manchester United had already suffered from Maniche, and this time they were prepared. The ball whizzed towards the goal. Howard jumped in and did not knock it down.

But the ball was also hit high.

Old Trafford went bang.

Scholes has a dark face, he really shouldn't let this guy shoot.

Mourinho called to Maniche, "Stop shooting from long range and be patient."

Now that there are three forwards in front, long-range shooting is not the best option.

After a while, Mourinho felt that it was not enough, so he asked Li Qiao to stand at the front, which meant adding four forwards.

"Crazy!"

At this time, Ferguson still didn't understand the true nature of the Madman, and it was the first time he encountered a team that played four forwards.

Li Qiao passed the ball to McCarthy, who responded with his heel, but the force of the pass was too weak. Li Qiao leaned up and kicked the ball, as if he was picking up the ball. Naturally, he did not hold it down, and the ball flew away.

But Ferguson is increasingly seeing the weakness of his defense, so don't be intimidated by his crazy style of play.

"Hold on, kids."

At this moment, a scene that made Manchester United fans suffocate with nervousness happened when the opponent got a corner kick.

Mourinho waved his hand, and the team's two central defenders also came up. It seemed that they were adopting a "do it or die" attitude.

Manchester United also retreated, even Ruud van Nistelrooy came back, and all 11 people stood in the penalty area.

Some Manchester United fans had already turned their backs and did not dare to watch any more. The ball was too tense and Deco was already at the corner flag.

He held out a finger.

Porto players were running in the penalty area and out of position, and Manchester United defenders were also man-marking, marking players in their own defensive zone.

Li Qiao was lying in ambush at the back point. If the ball could miss the big man's head in the middle, that would be his chance.

Because Li Qiao knew that when Deco extended a finger, he was looking for the big man in the middle of the penalty area. Under normal circumstances, he would have nothing to do.

Deco hit a curve ball into the middle of the penalty area. The big men all jumped up to fight for the header, but no one could head it. The person in front swayed, and Li Qiao, who was in the back, did not touch the ball.

"Get back to defense quickly."

Mourinho regrets that he missed the mark and did not have much time left for Porto.

The fourth official raised the stoppage time sign and added 4 minutes. Ferguson was not satisfied with the long stoppage time. He pointed to his watch to indicate that there was a problem with the stoppage time.

At this time, even Baia had already pressed into the midfield. He waved his teammates to come up, "Come on, I'll kick off."

All his teammates pressed into the opponent's 30-meter defense zone. There were many people in this area. Baia kicked the ball into the penalty area.

The first point was that O'Shea jumped up and hit the ball. He was originally going to hit the ball, but he hit it a little bit off and slightly, and the ball fell to the left side of the penalty area, just at Li Qiao's feet.

This was an opportunity. Li Qiao took a kick, but it was wrong. The ball hit the Manchester United player and was refracted.

Then slowly, slowly.

In!

"Handball, I got a handball." Neville meant that Li Qiao's shot hit his hand and should have been a penalty kick, but the referee ignored it and the Porto players were already celebrating before the referee announced the decision.

The 10 teammates were like a mountain suppressing Li Qiao. He was pinned down at the bottom. Everyone was very happy.

And Mourinho ran 70 meters, slid to his knees passionately to celebrate, his suit was ruined, and his relationship with Manchester United fans was ruined, but it didn't matter, as long as he could win the game.

Because the ball happened suddenly and messily, Ferguson's first feeling was that there was something wrong with the ball.

"There is something wrong with the ball. No. 7 had a handball before taking the shot."

The referee ignored it and signaled the celebrating Porto players to go back to the game. The score became 3-3.

There were almost 2 minutes left for Manchester United, and Ferguson also made substitutions, with both Forlan and Saha coming on.

Fight!

At this time, the Manchester United team anthem sounded, and after a brief disappointment, the Manchester United players began to attack fiercely. Scholes took the first long shot, and the ball hit the ball high.

On Porto's side, everyone returned to their own half. Manchester United goalkeeper Howard also followed Baea's example and rushed through the half, but suddenly Li Qiao rushed towards Howard like an arrow from a string.

This made Howard a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to rush the ball, so he wanted to pass Li Qiao and feinted with his left foot. When he was about to pull the ball, Howard didn't have the right to call him a forward after all, so Li Qiao stretched out his foot and broke it.

The next second, Old Trafford was as quiet as death. Seventy thousand people watched Li Qiao running around half-court with the ball until he kicked the ball into the goal.

All players from the Porto bench rushed out. Porto won, completely won. There was only a small patch of blue, like a drop of water in a volcanic lake, but this drop of water cooled the entire active volcano.

Mourinho did not celebrate this time, and he did not need to stimulate the Manchester United fans. Maybe... European coaches have changed, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.

Ferguson looked dull, but one thing was certain, that is, he would have to continue looking for a goalkeeper in the summer.

The biggest problem for Manchester United in recent years is that they don’t have a good goalkeeper, so...

Howard knelt on the ground with a bitter look on his face, and his teammates just touched his bald head. Maybe he was not destined to belong to the red Manchester United.

The last 30 seconds were spent in depression, Manchester United lost the game at Old Trafford, and Porto advanced to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

Mourinho was lifted high into the air by his teammates after the game, and his Champions League dream continues.
