SPN media is still commenting on the possibility of promotion. Manchester United players have arrived in Porto, Portugal. As the second largest city in Portugal, this is also a famous Portuguese football city.
The reason is that this beautiful coastal city has a team named after this city, Porto!
Porto is the club with the most international competitions among the top three in Portugal, winning two European Champions Cups, two UEFA Cups and two Toyota Cups. Its domestic competition performance is also second only to Benfica! In 1987, Porto won 2-1 in the Champions League final.
Defeated Bayern Munich to win the cup, and won the subsequent European Super Cup and Toyota Cup.
In 2003 and 2004, under the leadership of Mourinho, the team went all the way, eliminated many European giants, and won the UEFA Cup and Champions League consecutively, becoming the second Liverpool team to win consecutive titles after 1975 to 1977.
The team that won the UEFA Cup and Europa League (including the previous Champions League) in two years.
Then he won the Toyota Cup that year, which also caused European giants to rush for talents. As a result, not only the star Deco was poached by Barcelona, but Carvalho, Ferreira and others were poached by Chelsea. Even the head coach was also blamed by Chelsea.
End! 2008-2009 Porto Portuguese Super League completed four consecutive championships.[
In the UEFA Champions League in 2009, 8 advanced to 4 in the first round. Porto fans saw the hope of creating a miracle again. The city was all welcoming the game at this moment and looking forward to witnessing this great moment. The Dragon Stadium was eliminated.
Champions League winner Manchester United!
The home team showed great confidence before the game and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to warm up before the game. Manchester United's warm-up at the Dragon Stadium became two hours. Ferguson did not arrange heavy exercise training, but only let the players adapt to the venue.
, the quality of the lawn for the Dragons players is very good and there are no problems at all. Usually before the game starts, the stadium staff will water the lawn to make the ball run faster on the grass.
The long journey made the Manchester United players look a little tired. Although the home team had generously given them time to adapt to the field, Ferguson did not use it. The field conditions were very good and there were no issues worth noting at all.
That's enough, I'll see you in the next game.
Porto did not embarrass Manchester United before the game at all. The more magnanimous the performance, it showed the confidence to eliminate the opponent. They did not want other clubs to always like to create some surprises or troubles for the visiting team before the game.
"This is an opponent worthy of respect!" Li Yu heard his teammates saying the same thing, and he himself recognized this sentence. However, he would not show any respect for his opponent on the field. What he had to do was
It’s about scoring goals, scoring as many goals as possible in the key battle, Manchester United said before the game
Strictly follow the work and rest schedule set by Ferguson. In the past, players were always given some free time when playing away games. This time, Ferguson clearly told the Manchester United players, "Stay in the hotel to maintain your condition. We are not here for vacation."
Yes, we are here to win the game!"
With the boss of Manchester United talking, the players certainly didn’t dare to make mistakes and stayed in the hotel. Even Li Yu and Ronaldo’s favorite Landlord game were not played the day before the game. There was really a bit of tension before the game.
Atmosphere, but for the Manchester United players, this is really not a big battle. Many players have won several championship titles, including the Champions League last season. In fact, the players know that this is just superficial.
The club attaches great importance to this competition, but it doesn't mean anything special.
In the tactical arrangement meeting the next morning, before the specific tactics were discussed, Ferguson looked around at the players below and then said: "The main players each have 100,000 pounds. If you win the game, this will be your bonus!"
"
"Oh my god, Manchester United has spent a lot of money this time. There is really no game before Ferguson mentions winning bonuses as soon as he comes up. Players from such a wealthy club have their own winning bonus clauses in their contracts. This kind of separate start
Prize money games are not like those in the Chinese Football League, where you can often hear news that club owners will bring as much cash as possible to the game site in order to encourage players to win the game, and they will be paid on the spot as long as they win the game.
This is a professional football match, not a gathering hall where money is shared on the spot. The players on the field are all professional players. This rarely happens abroad, and Manchester United will not prepare so much pound cash in advance.
All bonuses will be credited directly to your account!
For the first time this season, Ferguson also used such a move to tell the players that I just want to win the game and advance. You play well for me. If you win, I won't treat you bastards badly.
Of course the old man would not put it so bluntly, but the Manchester United players knew that they must try their best in this game, otherwise it would not matter if they did not get the bonus, and the boss's hair dryer stunt would be staged.
Haven't the British media been joking all the time? They say that Ferguson's wife has been advocating that Ferguson retire as soon as possible. The reason is very simple. The hair dryer at home has been missing for more than 20 years!
This is just a joke, but Ferguson's hair dryer stunt is also famous in British football. No Manchester United player wants to suffer a hair dryer treatment, and winning the game is the right way.
Li Yu also heard that the old man attached great importance to the competition, and nodded to show his understanding!
Seeing the players' reactions, Ferguson was also very satisfied and showed a rare smile these days, "Very good, the bonus is just a reward, winning the game is the purpose of our trip!"
"In tonight's game, we have to attack, and we have to attack fiercely from the beginning, so the task I give you today is to play a Manchester United-style game with the Dragons players and attack with all your strength from the beginning!"
Ferguson began to turn around and write down the starting players for this game and their corresponding positions on the tactical board.
4-3-3, as expected, the formation drawn by Ferguson is a complete offensive formation. Among the three arrows in front, No. 9 Li Yu is in the center, No. 7 Ronaldo is to the left, and No. 10 Rooney is to the right.
Manchester United's strongest three-pronged offensive combination all appeared, and they attacked fiercely.[
Ferguson did not mention the defensive issue that had been worried by the media before the game. Attack is the best defense. This time Manchester United is going to turn the tables and break the magical record of the Dragons players.
This is definitely a big gamble, but I have to admire Ferguson's courage. How many coaches dare to do this, but he dared to do it.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is a certain truth to this arrangement. Absolutely winning by surprise, taking surprises, and daring to take risks. Isn't this the characteristic of Ferguson's coaching?
But the more Li Yu listened, the more his blood boiled. It felt so good and so cool! This was the game he wanted. Nothing else. He must score goals and advance!
This may be the voice of all Manchester United players. There is no need to doubt the cohesion of Manchester United players and their sense of belonging to the club. For the glory of the team, they have to defeat their opponents!
In the words of Sir Alex Ferguson, "Manchester United's pride and fighting spirit are also reflected in their offense. Who has Manchester United been afraid of? Let the Portuguese witness the entire process of Manchester United's victory and advancement tonight!"
"Defeat them and advance"
Li Yu was also shouting along with everyone. It was strange to say that there was no discussion at all in advance, but the words he shouted were so consistent and neat!
In this campaign, Ferdinand returned to form a perfect defense with Vidic, Anderson played against his old club, Li Yu undoubtedly started in the starting lineup with Ronaldo and Rooney, and the talented youngster Macheda sat on the bench.
Judging from the starting lineup announced by Porto before the game, their starting lineup has not changed at all from the previous game, with Hulk, Rodriguez and Lisandro Lopez leading the way.
Both teams use the same attacking formation this time, 4-3-3!
The Chinese media will always describe such a game in a sarcastic way. Who would have thought of the end?
At 2:45 a.m. on April 16th, Yanjing time, the European Champions League entered the 1\4 finals and the second round competition was about to begin. Compared with the first round, the number of Chinese fans watching this time was more. We refuse to make complete statistics.
Nearly 2.5 billion Chinese fans will stay up late
Watching this game, some people may be watching the live broadcast with the intention of watching Li Yu's Champions League swan song, but more Chinese fans want to witness the miracle with their own eyes. In their hearts, they are no different from Manchester United fans, and no one will believe it.
Manchester United will leave the Champions League.
In the TV footage, Manchester United players were the first to enter the Dragon Stadium. There were no nice words to greet the Manchester United players.
"Brits, get out of the Champions League!"
"Kill them!"
"Look, the Brit is about to wet his pants!"
The Portuguese fans at the Dragon Stadium were filled with shouts, saying everything, but Li Yu didn't understand a word of it, and she was still thinking to herself, these fans are really like this, they have to learn a foreign language first if they want to curse!
Li Yu didn't understand, but there are many people in the Manchester United team who do. Anderson and Ronaldo are all players from the Portuguese Super League. Ronaldo is Portuguese. Although they are not British as fans say, they are
I also know that when I come here on behalf of Manchester United, I won't be greeted with any kind words. These are quite polite.
The Portuguese fans didn't say anything more, because then the home team Porto began to enter the field, and the cheers like a mountain roar and tsunami immediately sounded. However, you can still feel the difference from the cheers of Premier League fans. The biggest characteristic of Portuguese fans is
It's noisy. It's not as neat as the British fans. They can talk about anything. It's quite lively.
This situation can only be experienced in the stadium. The Chinese fans far away in China are listening to the official UEFA Champions League theme opening music. The familiar melody is ringing. Many Chinese fans know that the game is about to begin without prompting.
here we go.
Let’s take a few sips of beer to refresh ourselves. Of course it’s not Heineken. It’s not that Chinese fans don’t want to drink it. The key is that this brand is not easy to buy. The kiosk at the door doesn’t buy Heineken, so I’d better drink Qingdao! [
For most Chinese fans, Heineken's sponsorship of the Champions League is completely in vain!
The camera returned to the game scene. Players from the two teams had already chosen sides. The visiting team Manchester United stood in the center circle and prepared to kick off. Li Yu nodded to indicate that Rooney was ready. Turkish referee Cakir blew the whistle and Rooney
Immediately distribute the ball to Li Yu next to him.
Porto players kept rushing forward according to the situation in previous games. Hulk took the lead. The ball was at Li Yu's feet, but he thought about rushing towards the Manchester United midfield line. He completely ignored Li Yu's intention. Under normal circumstances, the opening
The player who receives the ball will immediately distribute it to other teammates, and then immediately move forward.
Li Yu didn't follow the rules of the game at all. He looked down on others, so he didn't pass the ball today. When he found that no one came forward to press him, Li Yu simply accelerated and charged forward.
"Be careful, stop him!" Meireles loudly reminded the defensive players behind him to pay attention to Li Yu's dribbling, and he rushed over to intercept it.
He had a deep impression on Li Yu. With his speed and strength, this young man was not a normal human being at all. He just wanted to slow down Li Yu's dribbling speed. As for stealing, he didn't even think about it.
The tiger came out of the cage, and Li Yu was at his best as soon as he came up. He looked up and found that Meirelles stepped forward without any panic, and his speed did not slow down at all.
Meirelles watched Li Yu rushing toward him, and his heart kept beating. Didn't you see anyone? He didn't know how to apply the brakes!
The Portuguese thought it was going to be a traffic accident, but in fact, if Li Yu was hit like this, it would be no different than a minor traffic accident. Broken ribs would be normal.
Meireles is also a ruthless person. If he stands in a key position but doesn't move, come on, it's a foul if he tries to hit someone with the ball. Do you understand?
Are you still walking? In the football rules, there is a foul action of hitting someone with the ball, but it is different from the basketball rules. The penalty is based on the possession of the ball. The ball is under the control of Li Yu and it is not a foul at all if it hits Meireles.
If there was a foul, it was a blocking foul committed by Meireles.
"Fuk!" Meirelles immediately uttered a curse word. This guy was really pretending. Fortunately, he hid in time, otherwise he would have died.
Meireles, who was so frightened, even forgot to make any small movements with his feet after Li Yu broke through. It was obvious that he was really scared and completely forgot about other things.
There were still more than 40 meters away from the goal, and Li Yu had already estimated the approximate distance in his mind. An incredible scene appeared on the TV camera. He actually swung his leg and shot from a long distance. The sound of "Boom!" resounded throughout the Dragon Stadium.
The fans were shocked, and their hearts tightened when they heard the sound. Don't go in!
Perhaps because he heard the prayers of tens of thousands of Portuguese fans at the scene, Li Yu's shot missed the goal and hit the billboard behind the goal. However, this shot was so powerful that it hit the back of the goal and hit the people there.
The radio equipment was smashed into pieces.
The closer Porto goalkeeper heard the muffled sound of the ball and the billboard more than anyone else, "God, what did this kid grow up on?"
It was enjoyable and inspiring. Li Yu hit a super long-distance shot right after the opening kick. Especially after the Chinese fans watched it, their sleepiness from staying up late to watch the game was instantly gone.
"This kid is the winner!"
"It's so awesome!"
"Incredibly handsome! Handsome! On point!"
Dialects from all over the country kept praising Li Yu, but some words were reserved for his son-in-law!
The fans who watched the live broadcast had such a reaction, and the Manchester United players were even more morale-boosted, attacking, and nothing else.
The momentum of Manchester United when they came up was completely different from the last one. It was as if this game was Manchester United's home court. It was much better than the last game. In fact, they had one more day of rest than the first round, but the players
Their state and morale are completely different.
After Li Yu's performance, it was Ronaldo's turn next. After Porto's pass was intercepted by Anderson in the midfield, it was immediately distributed to Ronaldo. After receiving the ball, the Portuguese showed the Portuguese fans what a gorgeous pass is.
People, after removing the ball from the outer instep
, dial right, and then dial the ball in the opposite direction with his left heel. People pedal their bicycles without touching the ball. Ronaldo came up with a ball-touching version of cycling, dialing left and right, making Porto's defensive player Fernando completely unable to find anything.
North and south, this guy fell down when he mixed garlic under his feet.
Seeing the wonderful performance of Manchester United, the happiest person is Ferguson. Li Yu and Ronaldo are in good condition. They have won half of today's game. The old man's red face is chewing gum and he is finally a little relaxed. But it would be better if he cooperates a little. At present
There is no problem with the condition, but the exquisite cooperation between the few people has not yet been demonstrated.
Don't worry, Ferguson will get whatever he wants. After Ronaldo broke through, he did not cut inside. Porto concentrated a lot of defensive power in the middle. Ronaldo continued to break in from the left. He was not focused on going to the dark side. While dribbling the ball at high speed, he also
Watching Li Yu's movement in the middle.
Where did that kid go?
Li Yu was behind him, suddenly accelerating towards the middle, and Li Yu's figure appeared.
Ronaldo immediately understood and knocked the ball outwards, and he immediately moved forward along the space between the opponent's center back and full back. Manchester United's attack performance today has been extremely perfect since the beginning. Ronaldo took away another defensive player like this, no
Porto doesn't want to send anyone to defend anymore, but there is no one to send at all.
Li Yu is getting the ball, will he do it to Ronaldo again?
The Porto players really had no choice. There were two people on Li Yu's side and Ronaldo followed him alone. Don't forget Rooney. The little fat guy was not a bad guy either. This attack formed a three-man Manchester United matchup in an instant.
Porto's situation with 4 defenders.
Ferguson had already stood up nervously, watching how Li Yu would distribute the next attack, "Quickly pass the ball!"
The old man was also anxious and couldn't help shouting. Li Yu on the field couldn't hear Ferguson's words. Just as Ferguson was worried, Li Yu didn't choose to pass the ball at all. He wanted to go it alone!
