There is a dream called football

Chapter 113 The gap with the champion

At the 75th minute of the second half, Mourinho took another chance and replaced midfielder Costinha with Russian Alenichev.

But the more this happens, the less afraid Milan are. Ancelotti was a player when he was young, and he understands the defensive essence of Italian football very well.

Another five minutes passed, and it was the 80th minute. The score was still 2-0. At this time, Mourinho no longer wanted any beautiful football. He replaced high center forward Almeida and prepared to play long passes.

One look at Almeida's figure, and Ancelotti knew what his opponent was thinking, and the other forward, McCarthy, was actually quite tall.

Maniche went down the wing and Milan's defender followed closely. Even a fool could see that he was preparing to pass the ball, but Maniche just passed it back to Deco in front of the penalty area through an inverted triangle.

After Deco got the ball, he suddenly flicked his ankle and raised the ball high. The ball flew towards Almeida. Under the close contact of the opponent's defender, the strong center Almeida was still able to hold the ball, and he even succeeded.

Turn and shoot.

"OK."

Bang bang bang bang.

Mourinho began to applaud. This was a good start. Although it was a bit ugly, it was indeed effective.

Almeida is like a wedge inserted into the penalty area. It is impossible to always let the central defender face him directly, otherwise it will be a penalty kick if there is a foul.

Therefore, Brazilian goalkeeper Dida strengthened his range of activities, and he was going to pick off the first cross.

The tall Dida jumped up and reached about 3 meters with his arms fully extended. His control range was very large. After he stepped up his attack, Porto's long pass failed again.

Mourinho waved his hand and asked Almeida to compete with Dida for position, even if it was a foul.

Deco once again sent a cross. This kick was weird after all. It was not so close to the goalkeeper, but missed a lot. Dida quickened his pace. After jumping up, he was met by a big man. Dida's hand

A pounce.

The ball flew to the side and Li Qiao kicked the ball into the empty goal. Mourinho began to celebrate wantonly. It was an away goal.

"We got an away goal."

But Morais saw something strange on the court.

"Jose, we seem to have committed a foul."

"foul?"

Mourinho thought this was impossible. Dida and Almeida were outside the small penalty area when they grabbed the ball.

If it is in the small penalty area, then the goalkeeper is protected and cannot be touched, but outside the small penalty area, the goalkeeper is just like an ordinary player and does not have any privileges.

"What's going on?"

The referee's gesture was very clear, that was Almeida's foul. The referee believed that Almeida had collided with the goalkeeper.

"OMG."

Mourinho was furious, "Is it possible that all Milan's penalty areas are small penalty areas?"

Mourinho's cannibalistic expression angered the referee. He warned Mourinho but did not eject him from the field.

"Stop talking, Jose." Mores advised, but Mourinho was still furious.

As the game continued, this goal still hit the hearts of the Porto players, but then a bigger blow came one after another, that is, Milan scored again, and the score became 3-0.

The ball was so fast that the broadcast cameras didn't even follow it. It was Gattuso throwing a side ball, but he suddenly threw it forward like a grenade. Inzaghi followed up like a civet and lobbed the ball into the far corner.

The ball drew a large arc and flew into the back corner of the goal. The ball was a bit like the lob shot Juventus suffered by Dortmund in 1998, except this time Inzaghi completed the lob shot in the penalty area.

Mourinho will not argue about this ball at all, because there is nothing to argue about, and the ball from the sideline is not offside at all.

Mourinho smiled bitterly and wiped his neck. This was self-deprecating, but the score was 0 to 3. This was indeed a death sentence for Porto.

Li Qiao was alone on the court, and he didn't know what the future would be like. After all, Porto never met AC Milan in his previous life. If I remember correctly, Manchester United was the strongest opponent in the knockout rounds.

The game continued, and Porto continued to attack. At this time, the camera showed a small patch of blue in the stands. These die-hard fans were still shouting "Porto" at this time.

Porto.

Porto.

Porto.

Mourinho also saw his die-hard fans on the big screen and gave a thumbs up to these fans.

Fans are always the most powerful motivation for players. Seeing these fans, even if it is 0-3, Porto players still don't feel that they have lost.

Li Qiao forced Maldini on the wing. This time the Cavaliers felt the difference in Li Qiao. He seemed to be more ruthless.

Suddenly, Li Qiao took an arc and McCarthy got the header, but the ball was too high.

"That's it, that's how we should be in Porto."

But in the end, Porto failed to create a miracle in Milan. At the end of the 90 minutes, Porto still did not score a goal, and the score remained at a stinging 3-0.

At the end of the game, Mourinho did not care about his players, but quickly ran to the fans' stands, raised his hands, and Mourinho applauded his fans.

"Jose."

"Jose."

"Jose."

Mourinho felt that the best performance in this game was these lovely fans, and his team obviously failed.

The players slowly gathered around, and the fans did not scold or dissatisfy. For the first time, Li Qiao felt like crying.

I remember watching the Liverpool game in my previous life and singing the song "You'll Never Walk Alone". How heart-warming it was.

If Chinese football one day learns to have support when it loses and everyone is happy when it wins, then Chinese football will be great.

The fans shouted the players' names one by one.

When it was Li Qiao's turn, Li Qiao bowed to everyone.

Ancelotti did not leave immediately. When he saw this scene, he was also touched in his heart. It would be difficult for such a team to play in the next round.

"I have long heard that the Dragon Stadium is the most devilish stadium in Europe. It seems that the next game will be a tough battle."

It was midnight again, and the team left the San Siro Stadium on the bus. This trip to Milan was bitter. Many players had begun to accept that this was the team's last game in the Champions League this season.

Maniche sat next to Li Qiao with an unhappy look on his face, "Qiao, do you think our Champions League journey is over?"

Li Qiao really wanted to tell him about the miracle in Istanbul, but he couldn't, and it would be useless even if he did.

"I know football is round, so I believe we haven't lost yet."

Maniche chuckled and said, "You are such an optimistic guy."
