Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

It wasn't until the end of the first half that Lopetegui stood up from the bench and walked towards the player channel calmly.

Instead of going back to Porto's locker room, he stood at the entrance of the player tunnel and high-fived every Porto player who came off the field, and encouraged them by the way.

Looking at Mourinho and Chelsea players who walked into the locker room without saying a word and without looking back, Lopetegui was secretly excited, and the situation was developing in a direction that favored Porto.

The current situation is indeed favorable to Porto. At the end of the first half, the score is still 0-0, leaving only 45 minutes for Chelsea.

Those commentators who crazily criticized Porto for being too conservative in the first half also changed their words one after another——

"It was 0-0 in the first half. It's not good news for us. Porto's defense is very tenacious. If we don't win in the next 45 minutes, then the second leg will be very difficult. It's not easy to fight."

The Chelsea commentator's words are more in line with normal people's thinking. If Chelsea can't win Porto at home, it will definitely be more difficult away.

"Lopétegui's tactics are very clever. They gave Chelsea and Mourinho a taste of the bus. Chelsea obviously did not expect Porto to defend strictly. They lacked effective countermeasures. They were stunned! Maybe they lost In addition to the miraculous performance when facing the miners, I have already said that he can only abuse vegetables..."

Hearing this tone, you know it is the media in Catalonia.

In the Porto dressing room, Lopetegui was cheering on his players.

"Boys, you performed very well! Throughout the first half, we didn't concede the ball, and we didn't even let them play too threatening offense. We must continue to do this in the second half, at least at the beginning. Continue to defend."

"Once the time exceeds 75 minutes, they will become more and more impatient. Stamford Bridge is their home court. Home court means advantage and huge pressure. When they are overwhelmed by pressure, it is Our chance!"

"Jackson, Ricardo, Yahine."

Lopetegui suddenly called the names of Martinez, Quaresma and Brahimi, and the three immediately raised their heads.

"Did you see Chelsea's empty backline?"

The three nodded frequently, and Lopetegui continued, "Is it as tempting as Belcanto's cozido? But you can't taste it yet."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, Lopetegui slapped his hands, and the expression on his face became fierce, "When the game enters the last 15 minutes, we will eat it in one bite. Think about those who look down on us. What kind of expression is it? Isn't it very touching?"

……

Mourinho, as Lopetegui thought, was in a hurry.

It's just that he was in a hurry to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Mourinho took out the notebook he carried with him, "It's dense defense again, which we are best at."

The players all laughed, and Mourinho waved his hand, "We played too simple in the first half. Porto's central defender Maicon is not short, and the simple cross is not a big threat. And he keeps crossing, space It will be compressed smaller and smaller, which is not conducive to our cooperation."

"Toro, in the second half, you have to move out of the box. If Maicon and Martinsindi don't follow, you shoot from long range."

"Then what are they going to do?"

Mourinho smiled slightly, "Behind the Maicon, his speed is not as fast as yours. Let them see your sense of smell."

Make a wish and nod secretly, Mourinho's arrangement is very targeted.

"Also, Eden, Alexis, in the second half, you need to go outside more."

Seeing that Hazard and Sanchez were a little confused, Mourinho pointed to Porto's two full-backs and explained, "As long as you open up the space, their full-backs will definitely step forward and defend. There's room."

Mourinho circled the two ribs of Porto's penalty area on the tactical board, "Felipe and Ivan don't overlap, you go diagonally!"

"If they don't defend, you shoot directly, but their central defender has a high probability of making up, and you pass the ball to the middle, with Toro's containment, William, this is your chance."

The little afro William nodded frequently, and Ivanovic asked, "What if another central defender goes to defend William?"

"Then pass the ball to the rear, no matter which side it is, pass it to the rear." Mourinho pushed the tactical board away and looked at Wishing, "Sandro is only 1 meters tall, and Danilo is 81 meter tall. Mi 1, Toro, I think you'll tell them what cruelty is."

……

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, Porto still defended, Chelsea still chose to attack, but the commentators no longer criticized Lopetegui.

They boast that Lopetegui's tactical choice is appropriate, young and mature, and even Lopetegui's sitting on the bench has become a well-known evidence.

On the contrary, Mourinho stood on the sidelines and directed the game, and in the eyes of the commentator, there was nothing he could do...

But just 5 minutes into the second half, Lopetegui couldn't sit still because he found that Chelsea's tactics had changed.

Wishing was pulled out of the penalty area. Before Lopetegui could figure out Mourinho's tactical intentions, Wishing received a pass from Fabregas and took a long shot.

This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, and Porto's defenders were caught off guard. No one stepped forward to block it in time, and the football roared and flew towards Porto's goal.

Fortunately, the shooting angle of the wish was a bit positive, and Porto's goalkeeper Fabiano was also very focused, saving the football from the bottom line.

Next, Chelsea's corner kick did not pose a threat. It was cleared by Maicon's header, and Chelsea reorganized the attack.

Although the wish failed to break the goal, it sounded the alarm for Lopetegui. He suddenly remembered that the wish had a long shot, and he could also lift the ball and the fallen leaf ball. This must be guarded against, but who should guard against it?

Without hesitating for too long, Lopetegui waved his hand, allowing the faster central defender Martinsindi to go out of the penalty area with Wishing and closely guarding.

Fabregas and Mourinho on the sidelines looked at each other, and they saw what each other meant from each other's eyes, playing on the side!

Fabregas is very experienced, and he gave the ball to Sanchez on the right twice in a row, allowing him to attack first.

When Porto's defense leaned to Sanchez's side, Fabregas suddenly passed the ball and distributed the football to Hazard who had been waiting for a long time on the left.

Hazard immediately followed Mourinho's request and dribbled the ball outside to attract Danilo. Felipe Luis took the opportunity to run diagonally.

Hazard passed the ball and Felipe Luis received it in the gap between Danilo and Maicon, who had no choice but to block it.

At this moment, William suddenly stepped back and ran to Maicon's original position.

Seeing this, Martinsindy immediately let go of his wish and went to fill Maicon's position, and Sandro on the other side naturally wanted to fill his position.

Mourinho's tactics at halftime worked!

Wish immediately ran in the direction of Martinsindi, and at this time Felipe Luis also rushed in before Maicon robbed and sent a cross.

Martinsindi immediately turned around to fight for the header, and Maicon also came to help, but Wishing feinted, changed direction, and rushed towards Sandro again.

"Later!"

Then Maicon yelled that he and Martinsindy had been duped.

But it was too late, Wishing had already leaped high, overwhelmed Sandro, and hit his forehead heavily on the football!

Faced with Wishing, who was more than ten centimeters taller than himself, and rushing up again, Sandro couldn't even jump up, and could only watch Wishing twist his waist and shake his head in the air.

Then watched the football fly into the far corner of the goal!

1 is better than 0!
