Monaco is relatively low-key in his trip to Portugal, and the situation may not be bad. As long as Porto does not get the advantageous results, Monaco will still retain the opportunity to qualify, but what if he loses the game in this game?
Then the situation will be in a state of extreme crisis, so Situ Yunbing is not relaxed, but he does not want to express his nervousness and spread it to the team.
The Monaco generals were ready to make a big move at the Dragon Stadium.
Since Porto reached the top of the Champions League in 2004, it has not performed well in European football, giving people a flash in the pan. Mourinho led this team to win the UEFA Cup first and then the Champions League, which made the Portuguese giants very popular. Five years have passed, and Porto's position in the European football territory has not improved much.
However, in recent years, Porto has become addicted to opening black stores. They are indeed good at dancing in the transfer market, doing many big deals that are talked about, and making a lot of money.
On the evening of October 21, Monaco visited the Porto Dragon Stadium, and the stadium was full and the atmosphere was booming.
Porto fans also know that the team's fate is likely to be decided in a back-to-back match with Monaco, and will naturally create a strong power at home to shock the Ligue 1 championship.
Situ Yunbing, who was in a suit and in a casual and elegant suit, walked into the Dragon Stadium with a calm expression. He had no idea of ​​stealing the spotlight. If this was Monaco's life-and-death battle, it might be a bit exaggerated. At least Monaco still has room for one loss. If this loss is lost, the next game will be a life-and-death battle without any suspense. Even if he wins, he will still have to fight Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.
As the coach, naturally I don't want the team to go that far, so it is impossible to be too relaxed in this game. Being forced into a desperate situation and then counterattacked. Situ Yunbing doesn't want to really experience that dramatic turn. If it becomes, it may attract more attention, but if it fails, he will also say goodbye to this world.
Porto coach Ferrera is a native of Portugal and has been in his 20th year in coaching. He has basically coached in Portugal before, and has coached Benfica twice. He has coached Porto since 2006. This is his fourth season in coaching this team.
Ferreira is actually somewhat helpless. Porto does not seem to have the ambition to enter Europe to expand territory. Since Mourinho, Porto seems to have always kept the Champions League championship, but he has never tried to try and taste the wonderful taste of winning the championship with his own hands.
Because they sell people every year and train newcomers every year, for such a team, many coaches who pursue them will lose their patience.
When the starting players of both teams came out, Situ Yunbing glanced at Porto's starting lineup. They were basically powerful players, but to say that Porto has a championship appearance, it is absolutely nonsense. There is a lack of explosive style and can become a star, which is also a factor that is difficult to go far in the Champions League. However, Porto's overall strength competition is still very strong in the group.
Situ Yunbing rarely underestimates his opponent unless it is really a gutter. However, he has no reason to underestimate the opponent like Porto, who has a reputation and is indeed not weak.
"The third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage started today. We will broadcast live to explain the game of Porto's home match against Monaco at the Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal.
After two rounds of games, both teams scored 3 points, both of which beat Atletico Madrid and lost to Chelsea, the popular team in this group.
The next confrontation between the two teams is likely to directly determine their respective qualifying fates.
Porto's starting lineup today is 451
Goalkeeper: Hulton.
Defenders: Fucile, Bruno Alves, Rolando, Perea.
Midfielders: Mariana Gonzalez, Merreles, Fernando, Freddy Guarin, Christian Rodriguez.
Forward: Hulk.
Monaco's starting lineup today is 433
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonheng, Morro.
Midfielder: Perez, Nkuru, Matic.
Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.
Both teams sent the strongest lineup today, and they both hoped to go against each other.
The opponent takes 3 points, let’s see who will laugh to the end in 90 minutes.”
The game kicked off with the referee's whistle.
Monaco took the lead in kicking off. The team first passed the ball in the middle and backcourt. In the game, it was best to be cautious and let the whole team enter the game first as much as possible.
When Porto's formation was slightly pressing and began to harass Monaco's pass organization in the frontcourt, Monaco suddenly accelerated, and Vertonheng delivered a long pass in the backcourt, and the football did not pass Alves' head in the frontcourt.
Porto's two defenders, Alves and Rolando, are both strong defenders with strong physical and powerful men and great power. It is a bit whimsical to simply try to penetrate their defense through high-altitude balls, unless they really need to retreat too far.
Porto also dared not take it lightly, and Monaco's unrivaled momentum in the league made them quite afraid.
Porto is very similar to Monaco in the middle of the midfield, and they are all composed of three strong players.
Merelles, Guarin and Fernando, all have tough defenses. Merelles and Guarin are stronger than Fernando in terms of offense.
Because of this, Porto's mid-lane attack was mostly driven by the joint efforts of Merleles and Guarin, with Merleles as the main and Guarin as the auxiliary.
In the 6th minute of the game, Porto's attack in the middle was subjected to a strong sniper in the middle. Merreles was pushed forward after cooperating with Guarin and was pressed forward in front of Nkuru. He had never made any moves. Breakthrough was not his strength, but the ball was protected at a certain level. He turned around and resisted Nkuru's harassment, and then passed the ball to Mariana Gonzalez. The latter encountered Moro's frontal press on the side. He pivoted the ball to the outside line and accelerated the ball to the bottom, sending a cross in front of Monaco at the bottom line.
Because of his strong body and strong muscles, Brazilian striker Hulk also has the same name as the American Marvel character Hulk, so he does have a bit of the Hulk on the green field.
However, this time, Hulk failed to jump under the attack of Benatia and Vertonheng. Vertonheng took off and headed the ball, and the football flew to the other side outside the penalty area.
Modesto controls the ball on the wing, Porto's left forward Rodriguez immediately grabs it, Modesto tries to protect the ball, and Rodriguez stretches out his leg to break the ball out of the baseline.
Situ Yunbing carefully observed the running of Porto players. When Rodriguez was robbing, Mariana Gonzalez on the other side was quickly retreating, and the midfielder was also on the way back. This shows that Porto was alert to Monaco's counterattack. They wanted to kill the source of Monaco's counterattack, and at the same time, the midfield and backcourt defense line was ready in advance.
Situ Yunbing is not in a hurry and hopes that the players will calm down and face the game.
The positional war in Porto was not successful, and there was no threat to Monaco's positional war.
In the 11th minute of the game, Suarez, who was retreating to the receiving end, barely passed the ball to the line where Gares Bell cut in under the attack from Fernando and Rolando. When Merelles had already arrived at the left side of the penalty area, Gares Bell did not rashly break out, but chose to directly take a kick.
The football flew straight to the left in the middle, goalkeeper Helton moved a step and held the ball firmly in his arms.
Monaco created a shot hitting the goal, but there was no threat.
Situ Yunbing gestured to the team on the sidelines and kept patient!
After 15 minutes of the game, Porto's tactics basically surfaced, relying on the middle organization and connection between Merreles and Guarin in the middle, the two wings create opportunities for Hulk in the middle.
It is basically very conventional and does not have too unique characteristics.
Monaco seemed a little anxious because he launched a medium and long pass to try to create a threat directly. Porto's defense line also remained calm and did not give Monaco many opportunities.
In the 19th minute of the game, Porto's attack in the middle was hit. Merelles was successfully intercepted by Matic, but Guarin, who followed up, swept the ball away from the side. This caught Monaco off guard. Fortunately, Nkuru made up his position in time and quickly came to Guarin to press. Guarin was forced to pass the ball to the right. Gonzalez saw that Moro was about to come up and press it closely, so he didn't have time to make a change in the control of the ball, so he drove the ball diagonally.
To Hulk.
Vertonheng stepped forward and intercepted the ball before Hulk touched the ball.
Monaco's joint defense is still very successful. After Situ Yunbing adjusted his tactics, Monaco's defense is obviously more difficult for opponents to break through than in the past, especially when facing teams with poor breakthrough ability.
After intercepting the ball, Vertonheng saw Guarin and Merreles running to the front of Matic and Perez. It seemed that they would grab it at any time, as long as Vertonheng passed the ball to them.
Rodriguez rushed from the side and wanted to intercept the ball. Vertonghen made the ball across the side and passed it to Morro. The latter stopped the ball on the side and watched Porto's overall formation retreat. He knew that he had to race against time, so he immediately observed the situation ahead and then ran directly to the ground with one kick!
The football rolled from the backcourt side to the left side of the frontcourt.
Merreles chased back diagonally but had no chance to intercept the ball. It seemed that Morro's ball was not passed to Gareth Bale.
Fernando ran to prepare to intercept the ball, but he was surprised that one person quickly broke out from the side.
Suarez!
After Suarez successfully took the initiative to get the ball horizontally and opened the distance with Fernando, then turned around and accelerated forward. Fernando immediately stopped suddenly and turned back to chase. At the same time, Alves rushed up to defend Suarez head-on. Because of his tall figure, Alves had already made a good sense. Only one of Suarez and football could pass.
This is the calmest and correct judgment as an excellent central defender.
However, Suarez did not continue to control the ball, and he sent the ball diagonally to the edge of the penalty area in the front left.
The audience saw that Suarez's passing route was not very good, because Porto's right defender Fucile was obviously closer to the football, but Suarez quickly stepped forward after taking the ball. He ran and looked at Fucile.
Fucilei is his teammate in the Uruguay national team, so he knows Fucilei very well. At the same time, he also knows his club teammate Gareth Bale!
Suarez can objectively judge that Fucile will be surpassed by Gareth Bale in acceleration!
So sorry!
Fucileben thought he could get back first and catch up and cut the ball off, but Gareth Bale, who overtook from the outside, was shocking!
When Gareth Bale was three meters away from the football, Gareth Bale was already running side by side with Fucilai. When he was one meter away from the football, Gareth Bale suddenly cut across the position in front of Fucilai. Fucilai was immediately panicked and hurriedly wanted to start pulling!
But it was too late, Gareth Bale passed the ball the moment he touched the ball!
After cutting across to Fucilai, he took the opportunity to cross the left foot!
Suarez rushed past Alves through the front. Alves was definitely top-notch in front defense, but in this kind of sharp turn and quick stop, his comparison with the fast forward must have become slow.
Suarez stepped forward and went to the left side of the middle of the penalty area, and another defender, Rolando, naturally came to block him.
At this time, Gareth Bale's cross had already flew over, but it was not about Suarez at the front point. The football flew over two meters behind Rolando, and Rolando had no choice!
He turned around and looked at it, and the picture that caught his eyes was extremely shocking!
Gareth Bale's cross ball was spinning and falling with an external arc!
Falcao followed up with the fish jump to the top!
The whole person jumped out and rushed forward, and pushed the ball towards Porto's goal in the air!
This process is definitely filled with the impact of visual explosion, both Falcao's movements and effects!
The football flew straight like a cannonball and the Porto goal was on the upper right side of the middle. The angle was not tricky, but the winning rate was due to the fast speed!
Goalkeeper Helton could only subconsciously block the ball with instinct, but his raised left arm failed to touch the football!
Football flew into Porto's goal!
Situ Yunbing on the sidelines clenched his fists and did not show a smile. Instead, his facial expression was a bit ferocious and his teeth were secretly clenched.
Chapter completed!
