Chapter 347: The Youngest Captain
It was a fantastic start, better than Atletico's when they scored in three minutes at home. E Xiao『Say Ww W. 1XIAOSHUO. com
Atletico Madrid was the first round of the knockout round, and a goal was not guaranteed.
This is the second round for Porto, and it has already scored 2:2. Even if Atletico Madrid chases a goal, Porto can still eliminate Atletico Madrid with more away goals.
Head coach Ferreira was relieved. He immediately came to the sidelines, pressed his hands down, signaled the players to stabilize the rhythm, and waved back to make the players shrink and fight back.
Ferreira's approach is a bit conservative, but with the lesson of Rexos yesterday, both the Porto players and fans can understand that it is enough to win, and it is easy to pull the ball if you take too many steps. At this time, losing No one can afford the responsibility.
Porto retreated, only Falcao, who just scored a goal, was in front, Gao Xiaodong, Hulk, Rodriguez stood on the center line, and everyone else was in their own half.
This is setting up chariots and horses and waiting for the Atletico Madrid people to attack.
You need to score two goals to advance. Not attacking is slow suicide. No matter how conservative Resino is, he has to let the players attack at this time.
Atletico Madrid, who are united and determined to attack from top to bottom, still has a strong combat effectiveness.
Atletico Madrid has Simao and Maxi, and in the center there are Forlan and Aguero who are good at grabbing points. Raul Garcia's small coordination can show its power.
Although Simao is thirty years old, he is still the first choice for Atletico Madrid's offense.
After the restart, Simão stormed Porto's right-back Sapruna.
Sapruna is one of the rare tall and large full-backs, while Simao is only 1.7 meters. If he grabs a header, Simao can be blasted to pieces by Sapruna, but when there is space, Sapruna has to think It is also impossible to prevent Simao's breakthrough.
But Porto suffered a big loss from their opponents in the last game. This time Rodriguez paid attention to returning to defense.
Rodriguez is fast, he guards Simao, and Simao is very difficult to get rid of.
However, in the last home game, Atletico Madrid full-back Antonio did not dare to assist more, but this time it was time to desperately, Antonio also assisted halftime.
Antonio Lopez is also a full-back.
The free kick is very good. After his frequent assists, the double fast combination with Simao made Rodriguez and Sapruna also resist, and Meireles had to help defend from the side.
This is exactly what Atletico Madrid wanted to achieve.
In the 9th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid poured the ball back and forth from the side and the center several times. Meireles followed several times in a row. After all, the ball ran faster than people. When Aguero split the side again, Meireles Rice did not keep up. Simao and Antonio successfully played a two-over. Antonio broke through the bottom and successfully found the ball to Fran, who was about to plug in.
Porto's defense was not a show either. Rolando followed Fran closely and carried the Uruguayan with his body, eventually forcing Fran to head the ball high and the ball flew out of the baseline.
This defense is good! Rolando is stuck in the position! Interfere with Fran with his height, otherwise it will be dangerous, but you can't let the right side be penetrated, pass the ball several times in a row, let alone Rolando, it is Alves I can't stop it either.
Zhang Lu expressed concern about Porto's defense on the right.
Liu Jiandao: There are very few tall full-backs, so it seems reasonable.
Zhang Ludao: Sapruna's speed is not slow, but it is not good if it is too high. The center of gravity is high, and the turn is slow. It is a disadvantage. In fact, during the winter break, Porto also bought a full-back with a fast speed. Sokojo, but in a game like this, Ferreira wouldn't dare play him.
After one success, Atletico Madrid found a breakthrough and continued to invest in troops to attack Porto's right.
In the 18th minute of the game, Aguero moved Porto's midfielder Fernando to the wing, while Simao pulled to the front of the penalty area.
Aguero tapped his heel and passed it to Simao, who made a fake move towards the top of the penalty area before receiving the ball, and suddenly dribbled the ball past Alves and entered the penalty area.
Fortunately, Alves was careful not to go all the way to the middle. Seeing that Simao had been tricked, he turned around and took a few steps. Before Simao shot, he made a tackle like a big fork, taking Simao with him. The ball tackled the baseline.
Alves ran too fast. He was 1.88 meters tall and did the movements like a gymnast. How could his muscles bear it? When Alves wanted to get up, he found his thigh hurt. Next, made a gesture of substitution.
The Porto fans in the stands were cheering for Alves' beautiful tackle, and they were stunned when they saw that Alves didn't get up and even made a gesture for a substitution.
The on-site commentator exclaimed: Alves is the mainstay of Porto's defense. His role is by no means inferior to Gao Xiaodong. If he is injured, Porto will be in big trouble. Now Atletico Madrid is attacking tightly. If Si gets injured again, the situation will not be good.
Head coach Ferreira's heart sank, Team doctor, team doctor! Hurry up! Stretcher. Ferreira was already anxious and speechless.
The stretcher brought Alves off the field, and the team doctor regretfully said to Ferreira: Thigh muscle strain, at least two weeks of rest.
Ferreira wiped the sweat off his head, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow, the joy was that the injury was not serious, and the worry was whether the test against Atletico Madrid could be passed.
Coach, who will play? Emmanuel reminded carefully from the side.
Ferreira pondered for a while, and said: We can only replace Hisokoho and let Sapruna play as a central defender.
There is no captain on the field yet.
Emmanuel reminded again.
Only then did Ferreira come to his senses, That's right, Eman, who do you think should wear the captain's armband?
There are Gao Xiaodong and Helton on the court, two team mates, Gao Xiaodong is the second team mate, but he is too young, and Helton's ability and personality are not convincing, making it difficult for Ferreira to choose.
Emmanuel said: Xiaodong should be the captain, if he can control the situation, Helton might not be able to.
Ferreira thought that the situation was so dangerous now, and Gao Xiaodong could only be the temporary captain, so he called Gao Xiaodong to the sidelines, and personally put the captain's armband on Gao Xiaodong's arm.
Xiaodong, you are the youngest team captain in Porto. The situation is very bad now. It's up to you on the field.
After finishing speaking, Ferreira patted Gao Xiaodong's shoulder heavily.
The 50,000 people in the audience were looking at Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong felt his heart beating a little faster. He didn't expect to wear the captain's armband on his arm. This is a great honor. There are not many 19-year-old captains in the world. Right, Gao Xiaodong's vanity was greatly satisfied in an instant, he waved his fist at Ferreira and said, Don't worry! We will advance.
The fat man has become the captain! Xiao Le grabbed the monkey's arm in surprise.
Monkey was also very pleasantly surprised, and said: I never thought that Alves' injury would make Xiaodong a 19-year-old captain, which is rare in the world.
The on-site commentator saw Gao Xiaodong wearing the captain's armband, and said pleasantly: The captain's armband is on Gao Xiaodong's body. The 19-year-old captain is the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League and the youngest captain in the history of the Porto team. It is also the youngest captain in Portugal, even in the whole of Europe, it is one of the best, well, I see, this is one of the youngest in European football, the other two 19-year-old captains are Alonso and Sakho, Now let's see if Gao Xiaodong, wearing the captain's armband, can surprise us?
