Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 174
Monaco's trip to Portugal is relatively low-key, and the situation may not be bad. As long as Porto does not get the superior result, Monaco still has a chance to qualify, but what if it loses the game as a guest?
Then the situation will fall into a state of extreme crisis, so Situ Yunbing is not at ease, but he does not want to express his nervousness to the team.

The generals of Monaco are gearing up and making full preparations, and they are about to fight at the Dragon Stadium.

Porto has not performed well in European football since reaching the top of the Champions League in 2004. The Portuguese giants are in the limelight. Five years have passed, and Porto's position in European football has not improved much.

However, Porto has become addicted to opening black shops in recent years. They are really good at the transfer market, and they have done many big deals that are talked about, making a lot of money.

On the evening of October 10, Monaco visited the Porto Dragon Stadium, and the stadium was full of seats and the atmosphere was hot.

Porto fans also know that the fate of the team is likely to be decided in back-to-back matches with Monaco, and they will naturally create a strong momentum at home to deter the Ligue [-] champions.

Situ Yunbing, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked into the Dragon Stadium calmly. He had no intention of stealing the spotlight. It might be an exaggeration to say that this is a life-and-death battle for Monaco. At least Monaco still has a chance to lose. If you lose one game, the next game will be a life-and-death battle without any suspense when you return to the home court. Even if you win, you will still have to beat Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.

As the coach, he naturally doesn't want the team to go to that point, so it is impossible to relax too much in this game. When he is forced into a desperate situation and then counterattacks, Situ Yunbing doesn't want to really go through that dramatic turning point. It will attract more attention, but if it fails, he will bid farewell to this world.

Porto coach Ferreira is a native of Portugal and has come to the 20th year of coaching. Before that, he basically coached in Portugal. He has coached Benfica twice. He has coached Porto since 06. This is the reason why he coached this team. fourth season.

In fact, Ferreira is somewhat helpless. Porto does not seem to have the ambition to expand into Europe. Since Mourinho, Porto seems to always talk about the Champions League, but never try to try again to win the championship. wonderful taste.

Because they are selling people every year, and they are training new players every year. For such a team, probably many coaches who are pursuing will lose patience.

When the starting players of the two teams came out, Situ Yunbing glanced at Porto's starting lineup. Basically, they are all powerful players, but it is absolutely nonsense to say that Porto has a champion. This can be regarded as a factor that makes it difficult to go far in the Champions League, but Porto's overall strength to compete for second place in the group is still very strong.

Situ Yunbing seldom underestimated his opponent, unless it was really a sewer, but for an opponent like Porto who was well-known and not weak, he had no reason to underestimate him.

"The third round of the UEFA Champions League Group D group stage kicks off today, and we are broadcasting live from the Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal, to explain the match between Porto and Monaco at home.

After two rounds, both teams scored 3 points. They both beat Atletico Madrid to get 3 points, and both lost to the favorite Chelsea in this group.

The next confrontation between the two teams is likely to directly determine the fate of their respective qualifying.

Porto's starting formation today is 451.
Goalkeeper: Helton.

Defenders: Fucilet, Bruno Alves, Rolando, Perea.

Midfield: Mariano Gonzalez, Meireles, Fernando, Freddie Guarin, Cristian Rodriguez.

Forward: Hulk.

Monaco's starting formation today is 433.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonghen, Moreau.

Midfield: Perez, Nkuru, Matic.

Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Both teams have sent out the strongest lineup today, and they both hope to take all 3 points from each other. Let us see who will have the last laugh after 90 minutes. "

With the whistle of the referee, the game kicked off.

Monaco took the lead in the kick-off, and the team first passed the ball backwards in the midfield. In the away game, it is best to be cautious, and it is best to let the whole team enter the game state as much as possible.

When Porto's formation was slightly pressed and began to harass Monaco's passing organization in the frontcourt, Monaco suddenly accelerated. Vertonghen sent a long pass from the backcourt, and the football did not pass Alves' head in the frontcourt.

Porto's two defenders, Alves and Rolando, are strong, tall and strong defenders. It is a bit whimsical to simply want to penetrate their defense line with a high-altitude ball, unless they really need to retreat too far. far ball.

Porto also did not dare to take it lightly, and Monaco's unmatched momentum in the league made them quite afraid.

Porto is very similar to Monaco in the middle of the midfield, and they are all composed of three giants.

Meirelles, Guarin, and Fernando are all tough defensively. Meirelles and Guarin are stronger than Fernando in terms of offense.

Because of this, most of Porto's road attacks still rely on the joint advancement of Meireles and Guarin, with Meireles as the main and Guarin as the supplement.

In the 6th minute of the game, Porto’s attack from the road encountered a powerful sniper attack from the middle of Monaco. Meirelles advanced forward after cooperating with Guarin Chuanqie, and was forced in front of Nkuru. , but the protection of the ball is of a certain level. He turned around the protection of the ball, resisted the harassment of Nkuru, and then passed the ball to Mariano Gonzalez, who was pressed by Moro on the wing. After pushing the ball to the outside line, he accelerated the ball to the bottom, and sent a cross before the baseline to the front of Monaco's goal.

Because of his strong and muscular body, the Brazilian striker Hulk also has the same name as the American Marvel character Hulk, so he does have a taste of the Hulk on the green field.

But this time in front of the middle goal, Hulk was unable to take off under the pincer attack of Benatia and Vertonghen.

Modesto controlled the ball from the wing, Porto's left forward Rodriguez immediately went up, Modesto tried to protect the ball, Rodriguez stretched his leg and broke the ball out of the baseline.

Situ Yunbing carefully observed the running positions of the Porto players. When Rodriguez made an attack, Mariano Gonzalez on the other side was retreating quickly, and the midfielder was also on the way. This shows that Porto Be wary of Monaco's counterattack, they want to kill the source of Monaco's counterattack, and at the same time prepare the defense line in advance.

Situ Yunbing is not in a hurry, and hopes that the players will calm down and face the game.

Porto's positional battle failed, and Monaco's positional battle was not threatening.

In the 11th minute of the game, Suarez, who retreated to respond, barely passed the ball diagonally to Gareth Belle's line under the situation of Fernando and Rolando's front and back attack. Before Meireles had come to the penalty area On the left side, Gareth Bale did not rush, but chose to shoot directly.

The football flew straight to the left of the center of the goal, and goalkeeper Helton moved the ball a step and held the ball firmly in his arms.

Monaco created a shot on goal but did not threaten.

Situ Yunbing gestured to the team on the sidelines, be patient!

After 15 minutes of the game, Porto's tactics basically surfaced. Relying on the organization and connection of Meirelles and Guarin in the middle, the two wings created opportunities for Hulk in the middle.

Basically very conventional, not too unconventional features.

Monaco seemed a little anxious, because they launched medium and long-distance passes to try to create a direct threat. Porto's defense also remained calm and did not give Monaco many opportunities.

In the 19th minute of the game, Porto's offensive was frustrated. Meireles was successfully intercepted by Matic, but at the same time Guarin followed up and waded the ball away. This caught Monaco by surprise, but fortunately Nkuru The replacement was timely, and he quickly came to Guarin to press down. Guarin was forced to pass the ball to the right. The ball is sent diagonally to Hulk.

Vertonghen went up early to steal the ball before Hulk touched it.

Monaco's zone defense is still very successful. After Situ Yunbing adjusted his tactics, Monaco's defense is obviously more difficult for opponents to penetrate than in the past, especially when facing teams that are not strong in breakthrough ability.

After stealing the ball, Vertonghen saw that Guarin and Meireles took the initiative to run in front of Matic and Perez. It seemed that they wanted to grab the ball at any time, as long as Vertonghen passed them the ball.

Rodriguez rushed to Vertonghen from the wing to steal the ball. Vertonghen knocked the ball sideways and passed it to Moro. The latter stopped the ball from the wing and watched Porto's overall formation retreat. Knowing that he had to race against time, he immediately observed the situation in front of him, and then sent it straight with his foot on the ground!

The football rolled from the side of the backcourt to the left of the center of the frontcourt.

Meireles chased back diagonally but had no chance to steal the ball, and Morrow didn't seem to pass the ball to Gareth Bale.

Fernando ran to steal the ball, but he was a little surprised by a quick kill from the side.

Suarez!

After Suarez took the initiative to run, he moved the ball horizontally to widen the distance with Fernando, and then turned around and accelerated forward. Fernando immediately stopped and turned back to chase. At the same time, Alves rushed forward to defend Suarez. Alves because He is tall, so he has already made up his mind. Suarez and football, only one can pass.

This is the most calm and correct judgment as an excellent central defender.

But Suarez did not continue to control the ball. He passed the ball diagonally to the outer edge of the penalty area on the left front.

The audience saw that Suarez's passing line was not very good, because Porto's right back Fucilai was obviously closer to the football, but Suarez quickly advanced after the ball, and he looked at Fucilai while running there.

Fucilet is his teammate in the Uruguay national team, so he knows Fucilai very well, and at the same time, he also knows his teammate Gareth Bale!

Suarez can objectively judge that Fucilai will be surpassed by Gareth Bell in the acceleration!

I am sorry!

Fu Xilai thought that he would be able to catch up and intercept the ball first, but Gareth Bell, who overtook from the outside, was so powerful!

When Gareth Bell was three meters away from the football, he was already neck and neck with Fu Xilai. When he was one meter away from the football, Gareth Bell suddenly cut across the body in front of Fu Xilai. Panic, I hurriedly started to pull!
But it was too late, Gareth Bell passed the ball the moment he touched the ball!
After crossing in front of Fu Xilai, he took advantage of the opportunity to cross with his left foot!

Suarez rushed past Alves in the front. Alves' frontal defense is absolutely top-notch, but in this situation of sudden turns and stops, he will definitely become slower compared with the fast forwards. .

Suarez advanced to the left of the middle of the penalty area, and another defender, Rolando, naturally came to block him.

At this time, Gareth Bale's cross has also flown in, but it is not looking for Suarez in the front point. The football flies two meters behind Rolando, and Rolando has nothing to do!

He turned around and looked, and the picture that caught his eyes was extremely shocking!
The cross from Gareth Bale spins and falls with an outer arc!
Falcao made a strong follow-up and dived to the top!
The whole person jumped forward and headed the ball towards Porto's goal in the air!

In this process, no matter Falcao's actions or effects, it definitely has the impact of visual explosion!
The football flies straight to the center of Porto's goal like a cannonball, and the angle is not tricky, but the speed of the ball wins!

Goalkeeper Helton could only block subconsciously and instinctively, but his raised left arm failed to touch the football!

The football flies into the Porto goal!

Situ Yunbing on the sidelines clenched his fists and did not show a smile. Instead, he had a ferocious facial expression and secretly gnashed his teeth.

In the Dragon Stadium, there is a hidden dragon coming to the world!
