 Irueta, who has been a coach for many years and has always led weak teams to defeat strong ones, obviously knows how to do ideological work better than Wang Ai, although they do not call him that.

At the beginning of the second half, the situation on the field still did not change significantly. There were offenses and defenses, and there were several threatening attacks. However, the defensive systems of both sides were relatively stable. For example, in the 59th minute, Belleron's quick counterattack

Pandiani made a pass in front of the goal, but the opponent's goalkeeper Baia struck out in time and fell to the ground. A few minutes later, Porto No. 18 Maniche lobbed the goal, and the football flew over Molina's head.

Just as he was about to enter the goal, he actually hit the crossbar. After rebounding, the arc was too high, and it jumped over the head of the alert Porto No. 9 forward, causing the follow-up shot to fail.

After escaping this crisis, Deportivo never gave Porto any chance. The defense composed of Andrade, Naibert, Romero, and Pablo was indestructible. As the game time became less and less, Laco

It is increasingly likely that Cote d'Or will receive a draw on the road, which makes the people of Porto, who have always lost more than they win against La Liga teams, even more anxious.

In the 76th minute, Deco's dangerous cross pass was destroyed by Molina. Porto forward No. 9 Jankos hit Molina in the left face with his elbow, causing Molina to fall to the ground in pain. Then Rome

Luo tripped Lithuania's most famous star in a defensive move.

The referee Merk remained silent. At the beginning of the game, he did not expect that it would be such a fierce and dirty game, so the enforcement standards were not strict. As a result, it was too late for him to control it now.

, can only barely maintain the "balance" when enforcing the law.

However, the referee's "weakness" allowed the Porto people to indulge themselves even more. Facing Depor's steel defense, their malice finally reached a climax in the 80th minute of the game.

After elbowing the goalkeeper, flying tackle Pablo, back tackle Naibet, and trampling Romero, Andrade, a former teammate, was the only stubborn central defender in Depor's defense who was not violated much. The Porto native

Finally the last bit of tenderness was torn away.

This time it was Porto's No. 10 player Deco who was in charge. He suddenly fell to the ground when he passed by Andrade during the attack. In the glimpse, no one could see how he fell to the ground.

, Andrade saw his former best friend fall to the ground for no reason, as if trying to cheat for a free kick. He felt funny in his heart. He walked closer, joked, and stretched out his foot.

But just when his toes were about to touch Deco's thigh and the game started, Rey's warning suddenly echoed in his mind. He knew that Rey would not joke with them in serious matters, even though they usually did so.

He plays along.

Andrade retracted his legs alertly, took two steps back, and carefully observed Deco.

Referee Merck walked over with a frown on his face. Deco, who was lying on the ground, suddenly became distressed and began to roll over. His teammates rushed to the referee in groups, gesticulating angrily and shouting violently.

Patting his thigh.

Andrade froze on the spot, dumbfounded. His former friend was rolling on the ground as if he had broken a bone. The noise around him was like a silent pantomime. It was intense and absurd. He didn't react until Merck showed him a red card. But no matter how he defended himself,

, his action of kicking towards the fallen opponent was still clearly seen by the referee. As for whether he touched or not, no one could see clearly except the two of them. At least it was "intentional to hurt" which was unquestionable.

Andrade walked to the sidelines in a daze, and saw Irueta and Rey with identical serious expressions. He couldn't bear it anymore, walked to the bench and sat down, covering his face and sobbing silently.

Huge sadness enveloped the former Lisbon darling, not only the pain of the ruthless betrayal of his former friends, but also the guilt of his teammates, especially Rey, who, after all, reminded him like a prophet.

Wang Ai didn't pay attention to Andrade, he was looking at Irueta. Goalkeeper Molina, double central defenders Andrade, Naibert, left back Romero, and right back Pablo were all attacked by the opponent.

As a result, Andrade, the only survivor, was directly kicked off the field by his opponent. Even midfielder Mauro Silva also accumulated two yellow cards. Deportivo's defensive system was already half-broken, and the next game was even worse.

It's stretched thin.

Irueta finally turned to look at Wang Ai and shook his head slightly. Wang Ai opened his mouth and had to turn back to the bench in frustration, and went to comfort Andrade. He understood that this was an away game, and a draw would be

Victory and small losses are acceptable. Irueta doesn't want him to get injured here, he wants to return to "Riaso without conceding" to win!

When Wang Ai turned around, Irueta replaced central defender Cesar and replaced right midfielder Victor to strengthen the defense. Deportivo, with one less player, fought tenaciously amidst the boos at the Dragon Stadium. Even Belleron and

Frandu withdrew from the half, leaving only Pandiani to worry about for the opponent.

Time passed slowly, and finally it came to the last minute of the game. At this time, Mauro Silva tripped the opponent's substitute forward Ferreira. Merck hesitated, but did not give any penalty. After all, the referee was not a fool.

, the Porto man's dirty playing style and Deco's exaggerated performance are just the acting skills of a primary school student in the eyes of the referee. He just has to do what he should do because of the regulations. But in discretion, it is another matter.

Already.

The game finally ended with 0:0 despite the difficulty of Depor's 10 men.

Faced with Andrade and Deco, who were bound to receive the most attention at the post-match press conference, Andrade, who was injured, refused to attend, and the captain Mauro Silva also refused to attend, but he would not attend the post-match press conference.

The press conference would make UEFA dissatisfied. Just when Irueta hesitated, Wang Ai raised his hand and asked to participate.

Faced with the indiscriminate bombardment from reporters, Deco said lightly: "He and I are indeed good friends, and I don't think it was an attack on me, but the referee made many misjudgments in this game."

Just when the reporters were preparing to use Deco's narrative as the content of tomorrow's report, near the end of the press conference, Wang Ai suddenly knocked on the table and stood up. Facing the reporters, he said seriously: "I don't think the referee has any

What's the problem? Even if it's Jorge's red card, I think the referee was not wrong under the circumstances. As for why Jorge didn't attend, it's because he was ruthlessly betrayed by his friends and he was hiding in the corner like a child.

We cry. We Depor are newcomers to the Champions League. We Depor are the poor among the big European clubs. In the minds of us fishermen, the Champions League must be a stage for those with the most superb skills and the most noble morals. But when we

When I came here with the heart of a pilgrim, I realized that some people here are dirtier than street football!"

After saying that, Wang Ai turned to look at Deco: "Anderson, your skills are very good, but no matter what achievements you have made, you are a shameless 'betrayer'! You kicked and injured six of our players and cheated us."

You have lost two of our absolute main players, and you seem to be about to win a victory while getting a draw?" At this point, Wang Ai's voice deepened: "However, you succeeded in irritating me, irritating our entire team, and irritating everyone.

We A Coruña! We will greet you at Riazor with five smooth stones and a sling!”
