Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 125 The Damn Injuries
Porto soon ushered in the home game against Beiramar. On the one hand, it was affected by domestic public opinion, and on the other hand, it did not want to disappoint the fans at the Asantas Stadium. Mourinho also expected the team to play Afterwards, they got some leading advantages before consecutive away games, so Porto, with the prestige of four consecutive victories in the league, still came up with half a set of main players.

Goalkeeper Vitor Baia, Ibarra, Carvalho, second team teenagers Ricardo Costa and Ricardo Silva on the back line, midfielder Pavlin and second team player Pedro Olivi After the delay, Yang served as the single attacking midfielder, and Capucho, McCarthy and Candido were on the front line.

At the beginning of the first half, Young used a precise long pass to directly find Benny McCarthy. The South African striker's header bombing helped Porto take the lead.In the 27th minute of the game, Candido's three-person breakthrough on the right tore a huge gap in Bellamar's defense, and then sent a cross to the goal. McCarthy slyly passed the ball from his crotch. With one omission, Capucho, who was ambushing at the back point, made it overnight, and the score came to 2:0.

At this time, everyone thought that Porto would win as easily as before, but this was not the case. At the end of the first half, a shovel from the midfielder of Bellamar knocked down Yang, who was advancing with the ball. On the ground, the boy clutched his ankle and rolled several times on the ground.

Rafat took someone up for an examination and directly made a substitution gesture to Mourinho. Yang's ankle seemed to be seriously sprained. During the observation by the team doctor, the entire foot was swollen, and the inside of the ankle was still ok. A few stud marks are visible.

When the stretcher team lifted Young off the field, Mourinho started to get angry at the fourth official. The referee didn't even give a yellow card for such an obvious foul. With a famous midfielder, no head coach can stand this kind of stimulation.

Seeing Yang lying on the stretcher and sweating, Mourinho felt a fire burning from his chest to his head. He stepped forward and pressed the shoulder of the fourth official to let him see the boy's injury. Can't even get a yellow card for a tackle?

It may be that his hand was too close to the referee's neck. The fourth official thought that Mourinho had used a chokehold on himself, so he stepped back two or three steps to the side in fright, and communicated with the referee. After that, he sent the Porto coach directly to the stands.

You know, this is the Asantas Stadium, the home ground of the Nerazzurri. The angry shouts of the Porto fans almost drowned the referee team, but even so, it still can't change the fact that Mourinho was caught in the stands , Faria sat with him closest to the coach's bench, while Brito temporarily took over the command.

No one expected that the bad things in the first half turned out to be just the beginning. Paredes replaced the injured Young during the intermission, but within a few minutes of the second half, Ricardo Carvalho did not make any contact. Suddenly fell to the ground under such circumstances, and Rafat, who returned to the sidelines after being sent to the hospital, ran up again without even wiping off his sweat.

"Mr. Rafat, my right gluteal muscle is very painful, and I still feel like being pulled when lying on the ground..."

After checking for a while, Rafat sighed deeply: "Son, your gluteal muscle must be strained. It's a pity. Not only can you not continue to play in the game, but you will feel tingling pain even when you go up and down the stairs or even stand up and sit down." , don’t move around, I’ll call the stretcher team over.”

Seeing that Carvalho was also being carried down on a stretcher, Mourinho slammed the water bottle in front of his face, splashing his and Faria's shoes and trousers wet. Littleto came on for Jorge Andrade, who had been exhausted at the Bernabeu.

The Portuguese seemed to be a little distracted. He didn't react until he missed Bellamar's striker in a defensive look. He pulled and dragged the opponent down in the penalty area. He directly ate the yellow dot package. The striker made a penalty Ball, Bellamar 1:2 Porto.

Two main players were injured and left the field. At this time, the Nerazzurri had already shown a little decline. Before Mourinho commanded Brito to warn the players to concentrate, Bellamar relied on the left side to send out The tactical corner kick scored again, the striker who was pulled down by Andrade scored twice, and took the ball away from Baia while laughing.

At nearly 10 minutes into the game, Pedro Oliveira, a 17-year-old midfielder from the Porto II team, was stepped on by a Beiramar player during a close-range defense. The scene was chaotic and the referee did not There was no call for a foul, and after the fight for the ball ended, Pedro hopped his feet and sat on the ground.

A fan of Porto said in an interview after the game that the TV broadcast of the whole game did not allow him to remember any player, but the face of the team doctor Rafat left a deep impression on him. Hearing this, The reporter with the microphone also nodded deeply.

Lafayette helped Pedro untie his sneakers. The toe cap of the little guy's left thumb was almost turned over, and the swelling was almost [-] times its original size. The old team doctor didn't dare to turn back. Seeing the faces of everyone in Porto on the coach's bench, the two hands that were turning in circles also moved weakly.

Porto's third substitution spot was also used up due to player injuries. Brito replaced Pedro Oliveira with young player Zuka promoted from the youth team. This young man was not even ready yet. He was forced to start his Portuguese first show.

At the end of the game, because the ball hit Ricardo Silva's arm in the penalty area, the referee awarded Beiramar a penalty again. Although Baia saved it bravely, he was later The supplementary shot that came destroyed the hopes of the Porto people, Beiramar 3:2 Porto, quasi-lore!

The score was finally fixed at this number. The Asantas Stadium was full of disappointed sighs. The away draw against Real Madrid made them extremely proud, but the home loss ended the four-game winning streak in the league, which made it difficult for the fans to accept. Porto The injury of the players made them sad while not making many radical moves, but Mourinho, who was sitting in the stands, had already felt the dejected atmosphere.

When he returned to the locker room, the players sat silently on the bench, not daring to say a word. Losing to a middle and lower team is indeed difficult for Porto, which is in full swing, but team doctor Rafat immediately It brought a news that made everyone completely powerless.

Porto's captain, Vitor Baia, suffered some minor injuries during the first save of the penalty kick. He insisted on going to the infirmary for examination after the game. It turned out that the soft tissue injury near the knee was found, and it was another recovery time It is difficult to judge the bad injury, and the main goalkeeper was damaged at this point in time. How can Porto win or lose against Real Madrid at the Asantas Stadium?
Mourinho put his hands on his forehead, and even cursed seven or eight bad words. Why did this damn wave of injuries come at this time? !
