Next, I will arrange the tactics for the second half: "Forward line: Cody, Edinson, in the second half, you should move as far as possible to Porto's wing and take their defensive players out; Erling, the middle is left to you, you can retreat a little, and make full use of your physical advantage. "

"Okay, boss. "Nico Williams, Marco Verratti, and Dani Olmo hurried back.
"Ashraf, Theo, the two flanks are handed over to you. Use your speed, skills, and physical advantages to bravely rush forward. After reaching the opponent's penalty area, if the opponent's defensive players follow Cody and Edinson to the flanks, you must decisively cut inside and shoot. I will blow up the opponent on both flanks." Mourinho deliberately gestured various possibilities and response strategies on the tactical board, and instructed Ashraf Hakimi and Theo Fernandez.

We are Porto, we will not be defeated easily! "Maximiliano Pereira's words inspired the players' fighting spirit, and everyone clenched their fists.
