The halftime break passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court.

The reappearance of players from both sides won bursts of cheers from the fans at the scene.

The Crystal Palace fans were certainly happy in the midfield. The team took the lead and the balance of victory was somewhat tilted towards them.

They hope that the team will continue to work hard in the second half and continue to defend well until they take home the championship.

As for the Porto fans, they are a little worried in the midfield, but they do not lose confidence. After all, Crystal Palace is not a strong team in their minds. Although they conceded a goal in the first half, they were still the liveliest scene, so they are also confident.

The team was able to equalize the score until overtaken.

After Porto came on the field, they had nothing to say. They continued to look for opportunities to attack forward as they did in the first half, and their intensity was really quite high.

But Crystal Palace is not a soft persimmon, and its defense is relatively solid. Guarin and the others are more aggressive in pressing in the frontcourt, but Crystal Palace rarely makes mistakes. The midfielder's short passing ability is not weak, and they dare to do it in a small space.

Small range transfer coordination.

If you push harder, you'll probably have to kick the ball to clear the siege.

And because they pressed too hard, De Bruyne also tried to make a bold breakthrough in the middle. In less than ten minutes, he got rid of the ball in the midfield twice and advanced a long distance with the ball.

Wen Sheng was a little dissatisfied. De Bruyne was indeed good at holding the ball, but the problem was that he failed to grasp the timing and failed to pass the ball in time. In fact, he did not pose much of a threat.

In today's game, Porto was slow to enter the state. After all, this is the Europa League final. Even if Villas-Boas thinks highly of himself, he doesn't dare to attack without thinking. He needs to be more restrained.

Wen Sheng was not very nervous while standing on the sidelines. The players' defensive status was not bad, and Hills seemed to have found some tricks.

In the 47th minute, Hulk tried to get past Hills. Hills was very smart this time and did not stick to him too closely. Hulk tried to stop the ball and beat him in one go, but Hills, who kept his distance, glanced at him.

He saw through it, poked the ball decisively, and knocked the ball out.

In the 51st minute, Hulk made a comeback. This time he was prepared to attack Hills from the wing. Hills was very focused, kept his distance sideways, and made precise tackles with his feet. Hulk wanted to pull the ball, but ended up giving it to him.

Hills even put the ball on the ground while dribbling.

The most important thing is that this tackle was very clean and Caballo didn't show any sign.

The Porto players were a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.

Hills' defensive toughness is basically a one-shot deal. The key is to look at his interception accuracy. If the accuracy is not high enough, he will not be able to stop the opponent if he sticks to Hulk.

But Hills's footwork is relatively accurate. Like Kanter, he is physically weaker, but his steals are very accurate.

The scene was very tense. Seeing Wen Sheng still dancing on the sidelines, Villas-Boas felt that this guy was exaggerating. After all, you were leading by one goal!

In fact, Villas-Boas couldn't sit still and kept walking back and forth on the sidelines.

Time passed minute by second, and the second half had gone on for more than 20 minutes. His team didn't even take a few shots. In the second half, they stepped up their attack on the right side. Hulk caught a lot of balls, but at all

It didn't work as well as it did in the first half. Hills had a good rapport with his teammates and the chain ban killed them.

Villas-Boas made a substitution in the 67th minute, and young player James Rodriguez came on instead of Barrera.

This James Rodriguez was the same Rodriguez who later shone in the World Cup. Later, he went to Real Madrid and his development was not satisfactory.

When Wen Sheng got to know Porto, he learned that this talented young man was originally playing in Porto at this time. He also thought about introducing James Rodriguez, but this player is not cheap. Porto's termination fee is 36 million.

Euros, Crystal Palace can't throw this money at him even if it's a sell-off.

Porto is also famous for its dark shops.

What's more, Wen Sheng also had great doubts about this player.

James is an attacking midfielder, strong in offense and weak in defense. He is not an all-around player like De Bruyne, and his physical fitness is not as good as De Bruyne.

If James comes to Crystal Palace, the whole team will need to revolve around him. Under the dominant offensive tactics, the defensive tasks assigned to the midfielder do not need to be so many. James may not be a problem, but an advantage, but Crystal Palace

His skills and tactics are not like that. Whether James's slightly soft style of play can adapt to the Premier League is a big question.

After much deliberation, Wen Sheng felt that bringing in James would be a huge risk, so he might as well let it go.

Rodriguez came on to play Varela's position. It seemed that the breakthrough was not possible, so Villas-Boas decided to create a threat through passing the ball.

Rodriguez is most outstanding in his passing and shooting. The World Cup Golden Boot is no joke.

Wen Sheng immediately reminded Klein to limit Rodriguez's inward cuts. This little guy is very good at long-range shots, so he shouldn't be given too much of an opening.

Rodriguez's appearance did indeed bring great help to Porto's offense. With one more person to guide the team, and Porto running more aggressively, it was quite difficult for Delhi to defend.

They began to create murderous intent in front of the Crystal Palace.

In the 68th minute, Rodriguez passed the ball and Guarin's long shot from outside the penalty area was quite threatening.

Less than two minutes later, they made a comeback. Rodriguez passed the ball and Falcao headed forward and hit the side netting.

Wen Sheng was also very anxious. It was obvious that a different person had changed his style, and the Crystal Palace players had not yet adapted to their opponent's style.

"Press out!" Wen Sheng gestured, indicating that the players should strengthen the interception in the midfield and move the defensive front forward, because giving the opponent too many long-range shooting opportunities will definitely be miserable. Guarin and Moutinho both

You can do this.

Villas-Boas also signaled the team to continue to put pressure on Crystal Palace. He couldn't care too much about defense, and there was not much time left.

Porto created several good ones, but Falcao didn't know if he was really guarded today and actually missed two excellent opportunities.

In the 74th minute, Falcao received the ball with his back and turned around very deftly, but his shot after getting rid of it was really disappointing to the audience. A high shot wasted the previous turn.

In the 78th minute, after receiving a cross from Rodriguez, Falcao was 10 inches away from the goal.

Villas-Boas kept lamenting on the sidelines and wished he could go up and kick the ball himself.

Wen Sheng was as frightened as the Crystal Palace fans. Wen Sheng quickly replaced Derry with Matic. In the second half, Derry's defense began to fail and could not keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

Matic's appearance still didn't make much difference, and Porto was still getting opportunities.

Benatia and McCarthy had their hands full, but the good news is that Porto didn't score.

Crystal Palace's formation has long been pushed back by Porto. Now Wen Sheng's words are actually not very easy to use. The habits developed over a long time and the effects of fatigue have caused the players to go back on their own. De Bruyne is much smarter and won the

The ball is not passed in a hurry, delaying time.

Of course, he is not the only one who is stalling for time. The players at Crystal Palace are all suspected of stalling for time.

The coaches on the coaching bench and the players on the bench couldn't sit still and stood on the sidelines.

Wen Sheng replaced Klose with Zaha in the 86th minute. In the second half, Crystal Palace's offensive quality was too poor. After taking a one-goal lead, the players' mentality was a bit conservative. They took the initiative to defend too much and left too many players in the frontcourt.

Klose was all alone and didn't have much effect.

Wen Sheng's substitution was just to get Zaha, the new force, to run more in the frontcourt and try to see if he could stop the opponent's line from pressing so hard.

Singing songs, the Crystal Palace fans excitedly waited for Caballo's whistle to sound.

When the time came to stoppage time, Wen Sheng replaced Mertens with Stroman, and the three midfielders were properly on the court.

Logically speaking, this substitution should have been made earlier, but Wen Sheng was unwilling to do so. He was more eager to score the second kill than the players, so it was delayed until now.
Chapter completed!
