Arriving at the Schalke Stadium, there were thunderous cheers, and the Lions fans waved their scarves crazily. All Millwall people were at ease at the moment, and at the same time they also felt disdain for Porto!
How about going all out to do those little tricks?
Didn't we score a goal?
"Millwall finally opened Porto's gate! Ronaldinho not only seized the opportunity to take a quick free kick, but also passed a scalpel-like through ball. The ball penetrated Porto's defense.
Straight into the space on the right side of the penalty area! Porto's ball
The players were confused by Henry's movement! Judging from the moment Ronaldinho passed the ball, the ball was aimed at Henry, so Henry was in an offside state. This is undoubtedly an offside kick, but
, while the ball was rolling, Henry
Ran away, his departure intuitively told everyone that this pass had nothing to do with him, and he was not involved in this attack! He was passive offside! Millwall cleverly took advantage of the changes in the offside rule, Porto's
The players were waiting for the referee to call a free kick for them, so they relaxed their vigilance. They only reacted when Larson entered the penalty area. Valente did not follow Larson, and Henry was also unmarked in front of the goal.
Wilson's assist and Henry's goal were as easy as training!"
Henry ran backwards towards the corner flag area, his face full of surprise and happiness, his right hand pointed at Ronaldinho, his left hand pointed at Larson, and waved to them.
Damn it, come here quickly!
This ball must be celebrated by everyone!
Ronaldinho laughed and rushed to Henry, apparently trying to get Henry to dance a samba with him. Larsson and Nedvěd high-fived and ran over together. As soon as they were together, Alonso jumped up from behind.
Nedvěd's back. De Rossi roared and ran over...
The Porto players were divided into two groups. One group ran to complain to the linesman, while the other group surrounded the referee to protest, accusing Millwall of being sneaky and sneaky! They were opportunistic! They were stealing the game.
victory!
On the sidelines, Mourinho, who had remained calm and cold since before the game started, exploded!
He roared excitedly to the referee on the field, but he did not run into the field, so he could only roar at the fourth official.
He is like a soldier on the battlefield facing a dangerous battle between life and death. His expression is furious and crazy. His aura is tragic and helpless.
"Henry was offside! He interfered with the game! Interfered with my judgment of the players! It should have been an offside! There was no assist from Larsson behind, and there was no goal from Henry behind! Your law enforcement level is simply shit! How can you enforce the law like this?
A vital game? F--h! You are helping Millwall exploit Porto! You are simply accomplices to football's first-tier war criminals!"
The fourth official, with a face as dark as carbon, avoided Mourinho's criticism, turned around and whispered into the microphone to relay Mourinho's words and deeds to the referee.
At this moment, Aldrich turned to look at the furious Mourinho, raised his right hand, raised his index finger, slowly put it in front of his mouth, then chuckled and shook his head!
Jose Mourinho!
It's your turn to shut the fuck up!
After doing this, Aldridge turned his head and continued to look at the court. He happened to see the Millwall players celebrating the end of the game in the opposite corner flag area and collectively raised their right hands in Aldridge's direction to make a thumbs-up gesture.
That was once Ronaldinho's exclusive move. Now, it has become a regular gesture used by Aldrich's disciples to communicate or resonate with him during the game.
Aldrich immediately gave them a thumbs up, both on his left and right hands.
Mourinho's blood surged. He was momentarily provoked by Aldridge and lost his temper. First he felt that Porto had been unfairly treated, and then Aldridge seized the opportunity to fight back. He walked towards Millwall's coaching bench.
He took two steps and yelled angrily: "Aldrich Hall! You are not ashamed, but proud of it? What are your players doing? They are playing with shameless means!"
When Mourinho protested earlier, his assistants and some other coaches also came behind Mourinho on the Porto coaching bench.
It seems that he is quite "strength in numbers".
Aldridge heard Mourinho's criticism and suppressed his smile. When he turned to face Mourinho again, the coaches and players on the Millwall bench all stood up and came immediately.
Around Aldridge, Millwall suddenly seemed even more majestic.
Aldridge showed a ferocious look, looked at Mourinho with sharp and cold eyes, and retorted sharply: "Do you really think of me as a gentleman? I didn't make the rules. You should talk to FIFA about you.
demands. Firstly, I did not ask my players to use behaviors beyond technical football movements to play, and secondly, I did not direct Porto’s players at that moment.
Standing there stupidly with your hands up and telling the referee what to do. My player scored a goal, a beautiful goal, why can't I be proud? Why can't I be proud of them? Mourinho, you guy
-Mom, tell me, what should I be ashamed of? Madman? Are you only crazy when you win? From now on, I will teach you how to face failure!"
Mourinho's face was ashen. The coach from Porto beside him took another step forward. On Millwall's side, there were three players immediately, Neil, Pedretti, Villa, and two coaches.
Jenson and Craig, the five of them also took a step forward. At the same time, Jenson and Craig raised their arms at the same time and pointed at each other with warning expressions!
Dare to come?
Who is afraid of whom?!
The referee ran over. In order to get rid of the entanglement of the Porto players, he first showed a yellow card to the most angry Mendes, then ran to the linesman, showed a yellow card to Carvalho, and finally came to the sidelines.
In the coaching area, through the fourth official's report, he did not hesitate to issue a warning to Mourinho. Mourinho tried to say something else, but the referee directly gave him an ultimatum: If you talk too much, you will be killed.
Sent off!
Mourinho quickly calmed down, and the Porto coach, who had clearly crossed the line, was directly ejected from the field by the referee.
When the referee left, he only exchanged a few words with Aldridge.
To outsiders, it seemed that Aldridge was really suspected of "bribing the referee" because the scene of the two people chatting hastily did not seem to have a tense and serious atmosphere. It was like ordinary greetings.
In fact, the referee just asked Aldrich to restrain his emotions and not add to the chaos of the game.
To put it bluntly, the subtext is: Ignore the guy next door who is making trouble. If it gets really big, you will be in trouble too!
The turmoil on the sidelines has settled.
Mourinho walked back to the coaching bench and returned to his cold appearance, but now his expression looked slightly sinister. The hand on the ceiling of the coaching bench was clenched into a fist. A detail was captured by the live broadcast camera.
He lightly hit the ceiling with his fist.
He understands better than anyone that this game in Porto is dangerous!
Millwall makes no mistakes and Porto has almost no chance of winning.
After all, they are not a first-class, mid-to-upper-class player team.
On paper, they cannot compete with Millwall.
In essence, the weak fights against the strong.
In such a game, the watershed is the "first ball"!
If the tie is maintained, the outcome of the game may be 37. As time goes by, Porto's probability of winning will gradually increase, but it will not increase significantly.
If the weak team scores first, the outcome of the game may become 64. Porto will have the advantage, but it will not be overwhelmingly dominant.
If the ball is lost first, then the probability of winning or losing the game will plummet, falling from 37 to less than 19!
Why?
Even if we regard football as a statistic, wealthy teams will lose and play a very bad game.
However, how many games have the giants scored first and were reversed in the end? People may remember many classic games that were reversed, but ignore that there may be less than 10 games out of 100.
Especially considering that today is a neutral position, neither team has more external factors to support!
Mourinho knows that as the game goes on and the tie is maintained, Porto can slowly get closer to the same probability of winning as Millwall. Then, he waits for the opponent to make mistakes and seizes that precious opportunity.
However, now Porto has lost the ball.
One ball, just one ball, was a huge change that fundamentally reversed the overall situation!
This conceded goal also cost Porto two yellow cards for the midfielder and defender!
There is another point, perhaps Mourinho himself is unwilling to admit it, but this factor has an extremely significant impact on the game!
No matter how impressive and majestic Mourinho is before the Champions League final, how elated he is with Chelsea, his seriousness and pragmatism towards the game will not change.
So in order to restrict Millwall, he studied many Millwall games, league games, Champions League games, many, many more.
Organize and summarize all Millwall's key points and key offensive changes, and then designate a combat plan.
Before conceding the goal, everything seemed successful. Even though Porto was severely suppressed, the situation did not go beyond Mourinho's expectations.
Only that goal!
Millwall took advantage of the changes in the offside rule to create a new tactical routine in an instant. This routine is very deadly!
Because what is tested is not technical ability, but the defensive player's ability to react and judge the overall situation. This ability is invisible and happens in an instant!
In that ball just now, except for the referee calling Henry offside, there was almost no remedial measure!
Unless Valente sticks to Larsson in an absolute sense, even if Carvalho and Costa rush into the penalty area without reaching out to signal, if no one restricts Larsson, the defender will
If the front midfielder fails to retreat immediately, Henry will be frozen, but Nedvěd's subsequent insertion will form the most threatening point in the penalty area!
In other words, within an instant, Porto not only had to judge that Millwall was using passive offside to confuse the line of sight, but at the same time, the second offensive point after prevention must be in place. Finally, at least the midfielder line and the back line were still in place. It is necessary to maintain the overall coordination and tacit defensive movement!
These three points combined, expect Porto to fully adjust after being caught off guard.
Even thinking about it, Mourinho knows it’s impossible! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
