[Football] King Of Europe

At the same time, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home dressing room. %し

The newly appointed Real Madrid coach Manuel Queiroz opened the door of the locker room with a smile on his face. In the locker room, Real Madrid players sat in twos and threes, and did not express anything about his arrival.This situation made Queiroz's smile fade, but soon, the Portuguese smiled enthusiastically again.

Even though his heart is full of complaints, but now, he has no way to express them.

As the godfather of Portugal's "golden generation", Queiroz, who has trained many outstanding players such as Figo, Rui Costa, Baia, Cotto, etc., has a very good reputation in his country and has the support of many Portuguese fans. However, this is not included in Spain.

Accepted the invitation of Red Devils coach Ferguson last year, went to Manchester United as an assistant coach, and after successfully leading Manchester United to overwhelm Arsenal last season, Queiroz naturally attracted the attention of Real Madrid.Florentino fired old coach Vincent Bosque and instead invited Queiroz to Madrid to coach.

For Queiroz, Real Madrid has an unparalleled attraction. Going to Real Madrid means that he can cooperate with Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham and other world footballers, which is why he is happy to go to Real Madrid.

However, the reality is not so beautiful.

It is true that this star-studded team has many outstanding superstars, but this means that his status is depressed.You know, there are many players in this team who are more famous than him. If one day all members of Real Madrid take to the streets, he must be the best one to be recognized by the fans, that's right.

Commonly known as: background board.

Manuel Queiroz is not satisfied with the current situation. After all, he wants to be in a dominant position. However, in a giant like Real Madrid, such an idea becomes a luxury.He doesn't have much to do with those superstars with very different personalities, and trying to coordinate their playing time is even more of a headache.

——I don’t have much control over this team.

He has known this for a long time, and desperately wants to change, but his efforts have had little effect.

For example, when he entered the locker room at this time, if those young players would have stood up to greet him in the days of the Portuguese youth team, how could it be like now-they just ignored him.

But in the first half of the game...

Well, they're ahead anyway, aren't they?

He knows what the media say about him and Mourinho, the duel between Portugal's best coaches.In fact, before this game, he still had a little bit of anticipation, and even specially called out the two games between Real Madrid and Porto in the Champions League last season to study their playing style.

But soon after the game started, he knew that he had done nothing.

Because of the way Porto played, they simply gave up the game.

Deco actually doing nothing in midfield?Sebastian was double-teamed?Porto strikers have misfired?

Bullshit!

This is not at all a normal level for Porto.

But Jose Mourinho was determined to give up, and there was nothing he could do. Could it be that he rushed to Mourinho, grabbed his collar, and ordered Porto to play a game seriously?

He didn't have this thought. Besides, Porto gave up, and they could just play easier.

Apparently, his players thought so too.

So much so that they were all chatting in twos and threes, without any nervousness.

Queiroz coughed lightly, and finally attracted the players' attention: "Everyone played very well in the first half..."

I don't know who blew the whistle: "Porto has given up, of course it's good."

There was laughter in the locker room, and no one took that team seriously.

Queiroz shook his head helplessly, thought about the 3:0 score, and finally swallowed all the other words.

If he still nags after playing to this score, the players will definitely annoy him to death!

"Will Mourinho make changes in the second half of the game?" The fans in front of the TV heard the commentator say. "Will he make adjustments to Porto's current lineup and change the tactics in the first half?"

"Did they have tactics in the first half?" This was the doubt of some viewers in front of the TV.

"If strict defense is considered a tactic." The person beside him shrugged. "Obviously, it didn't achieve any results."

If it works, then the score will not become such a disparity of 3:0.

"I don't know what adjustments Mourinho will make. Obviously, if you continue to play the way you played in the first half, Porto is likely to usher in a shameful score. Real Madrid has completely played at their home. Lost momentum, if they keep the same, they will be beaten even worse in the second half."

Accompanied by the detailed analysis of the commentator, the 15-minute intermission passed in a flash, and players from both sides began to enter the field one after another.

Queiroz seemed very satisfied with Real Madrid's performance in the first half and did not make any adjustments to the lineup. However, Porto's changes were big. Mourinho replaced two players in one go!

"Mourinho replaced McCarthy and Jancoskas! Instead of Ricardo Fernandez and Pedro Mendes! A very generous substitution, which suddenly used up one-third of the substitution quota Two... It looks like he's going to make some changes!"

Indeed an astonishing change!

After the two sides exchanged the field, Porto launched a wave of fast breaks. Deco's midfield scheduling was very fine. The two players who had just replaced in the frontcourt interspersed with each other. When everyone thought Deco would pass the ball forward He slammed his heel and knocked to the other side.

After receiving the ball, Sebastian made a long pass almost without any thought, and a momentary inspiration told him that this line was the best——

——After all, it was an opportunity to change that came with great difficulty, so how could it be possible not to do your best for it?

Just as he expected, the ball passed through Real Madrid's defense line, just before the formation of Real Madrid's defensive encirclement, it bounced and killed it.Jankauskas, who had just been put on the field, rushed past Elguera who was intercepting energetically, and knocked the ball to the front of the penalty area with one kick!

McCarthy jumped high, and the football fell into the net!

Real Madrid goalkeeper Igor Casillas didn't seem to understand what had happened as he watched as the header slid into the goal.Taozi knew that such a close-range header would be difficult to save even if he concentrated on it, but his distraction for a moment - it was unforgivable!

But a whistle saved him!

The linesman from Italy blew the whistle in his mouth and raised the flag to indicate that the goal was invalid!

"Porto, Porto are celebrating! But unfortunately their event had to be terminated, unimaginable, the ball was offside!"

The attack scene just now was replayed on the big screen. McCas was already in an offside position when he headed the ball.

The Porto players looked incredible.

"The ball was cancelled, and the line referee saw it clearly... offside first! This is probably a big blow to Porto!"

The audience in front of the TV kept saying "ohhhhh", and the commentator sighed regretfully.

"Obviously Jose Mourinho's instruction for the second half was to play a fast break. He replaced Jankauskas and McCarthy, which means that Porto's lineup is completely inclined to attack. They should want to take advantage of the early stage. During the opening period, Real Madrid's defense was unstable, and they slacked off to steal a goal. This strategy is undoubtedly correct, and they were infinitely close to success. Just one minute into the second half, they organized a header—”

——However, offside first.

The Porto fans sighed in disappointment, and at the same time the Real Madrid fans were shocked, they almost thought the ball was effective!

The blue and white legions on the field were a little frustrated without exception, but quickly cheered up again, they didn't have extra time!

Only for so long!

When Real Madrid was still immersed in the first half success, when they were still a little loose and slack.Only by taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the White Army, can they increase their chances of winning.

The fast break just now was an attempt, and they were infinitely close to success——

pity!pity!

After the start of the second half, Porto played a wave of offensive that could be called a storm, and even Real Madrid had to avoid the edge temporarily.McCarthy, Jankauskas, and Delly's Trident were fully fired, and Deco and Sebastian dispatched in midfield. For a while, long-range heavy artillery was in sight.

Such a reckless bombardment!

"Jankoskas' low shot...off the goal! It hit the left post and flew out of the baseline!"

"Sebastian gets the ball, he's double-teamed by Zidane and Figo... he's going to lose the ball, Real Madrid are about to start a counterattack... wait, wait, woo hoo, Sebastian Bastian! He passed the ball to Del Rei... shot! Ooooh, Iker Casillas! Great Iker Casillas, he rubbed the ball with the tip of his finger!"

"...a corner kick!"

"Free-kick from Deco! A curveball... hits the wall!"

The fans in the stands exclaimed one after another, and the adrenal hormone soared to the extreme.The narrator is already excited to the extreme——

——Yes, this is the game he wants to see!

——A head-to-head duel!

Everyone knows that Porto's paper strength is not as good as Real Madrid's, and everyone knows how eye-catching the Galaxy Battleship Starlight is-but they are not invincible, they also have flaws!

When Porto was full of kicking casually and had no intention of fighting, Real Madrid naturally felt extremely easy to kick out; however, when Porto became serious and began to use their best methods, Real Madrid also felt the pressure.

Porto!

Such a crazy attack - they are only one goal away!
