Mourinho could no longer sit still in the visiting team's coaching booth.
Boloni of the home team was more nervous than him. He took command from the sidelines very early and issued his instructions from time to time.
Mourinho walked to the sidelines, lifted up his open suit with his left hand, inserted it into his waist, raised his right hand high above his head, kept pointing at the court, and shouted the names of Porto players.
Obviously, only Porto players understand what Mourinho means.
After standing on the sidelines for a while, Mourinho turned around and walked back, his brows furrowed, his right hand involuntarily scratching his lips and chin, his eyes somewhat anxious.
Bologna is still quite good.
If nothing else, Sporting Lisbon's defense is quite good.
This was one of the best defensive teams in the Portuguese Super League last season.
The difficulty of the game also surprised Mourinho. He did not expect Sporting Lisbon to be so tenacious.
Of course, the draw was also within his expectation.
For Porto, even if they can't win the away game, a draw is a good result.
At best, the advantage of winning the championship is smaller.
As long as they don't lose, Porto can accept it.
This is also a characteristic of Mourinho's coaching. He must strive to pursue the best results, but at the same time be prepared for the worst results. He even considered how to fight after falling behind.
…
"Postiga has not shown much performance in the last ten minutes, it's over."
Mourinho walked back to the coaching bench, and Faria came over.
He has been paying attention to the movements on the field, and is also analyzing the player's performance data through software. Postiga has hardly performed in the past few minutes, and his running has also slowed down a lot.
As a center, Postiga had no performance against the two Brazilian central defenders Andre Cruz and Pepe. This was not beyond Mourinho's expectation. What he wanted to do was
It is to use Postiga to consume the opponent's central defender.
"Let Jankauskas go up!" Mourinho said calmly.
He is making substitutions according to the situation prepared before the game and according to the situation on the field.
Porto's players know very well that after Jankauskas comes on the field, the team's tactics will change accordingly.
Clayton returned to his familiar left wing and Del Rey moved to the right wing.
"How is Jorge Costa?" Mourinho asked with concern.
In tonight's game, especially starting from the second half, he didn't know how many times he asked about Jorge Costa's consumption, which shows that this is what he is most concerned about in tonight's game.
"Overall, it's okay," Faria replied.
So far, Porto's two central defenders and midfielder Costinha have not made even a single mistake, and they have performed very well, even to some extent.
Everyone knows that by winning tonight's match against Sporting Lisbon, Porto will establish their title advantage in advance.
"Let Alenichev warm up and get ready," Mourinho warned.
There are still ten minutes left. As long as Jorge Costa has no problem with this point, Porto will make full efforts to create a goal and win the opponent in the final stage of the game.
This is what Mourinho planned before the game, to get the start and the finish.
Thinking of this, Mourinho couldn't sit still. He walked to the sidelines again and shouted to Jorge Costa and Carvalho, reminding them to pay attention to controlling Su Dong.
"Don't give him any chance!" Mourinho made no secret of his intentions.
The two central defenders on the pitch also nodded in unison.
Although he has only been coaching for one year, Mourinho has completely conquered the Porto players with his usual training and performance in games, making everyone convinced of him.
And the thing he warned the most before the game was Su Dong.
"By limiting Su Dong, Sporting Lisbon's offense will lose most of its threats!"
After receiving feedback from the players, Mourinho let out a breath and became confident again.
The direction of the plot does not deviate from the script he designed. As long as it follows this route, it will at least be a draw.
If Porto plays well in the last few minutes, they can definitely defeat their opponent.
…………

"In the 76th minute, Porto made their second substitution."
"Jankauskas replaced Postiga."
"Mourinho has made two substitutions, and there has been no movement from Bologna's side."
"Judging from the current game situation, Porto has the advantage. Mourinho made two substitutions to adjust the offense. If he continues to play like this, Sporting Lisbon's defense may be difficult to defend."
"Should Boloni need to change players to strengthen its defense?"
"We saw that Alenichev was warming up on Porto's side, and Nikolai and Sa Pinto were warming up on Sporting Lisbon's side."
"Perhaps Boloni is not satisfied with Su Dong's performance tonight."
"Indeed, with the active cooperation of the two central defenders Jorge Costa and Carvalho, and even Costinha, Sudong was isolated and helpless in the frontcourt, and his performance was lackluster."
"But when Nikolai is replaced, can he perform better than Su Dong?"
"Maybe switch to a two-center strategy?"
"But no matter what, Sporting Lisbon still has to make adjustments."
…
Su Dong once again retreated to the 30-meter area to receive the ball.
The pass from midfielder Albertini reached his feet accurately.
As soon as it stopped, Costinha caught up with him behind him.
Sudong didn't have to look back to figure it out, Jorge Costa and Carvalho must also be in a deeper position.
The midfielder lost power, and Sporting Lisbon was destined to have no midfielder to press forward and participate in the attack.
This resulted in that every time Su Dong received the ball, he could only pass it to the wing.
If Tonito or Joao Pinto are there, they will often become a point for Sudong to release the ball after getting the ball.
But now, Su Dong can only pass it back to Rui Jorge on the left.
After the ball was passed, Su Dong turned around and ran forward.
The left back received the ball on the left side of Porto's half and since Delle did not track back, Maniche was marking him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Rui Jorge passed the ball to Ronnie who was close to the left wing, and he quickly crossed into the middle.
Ronnie quickly passed the ball back, but Costinha and Maniche flanked Rui Jorge at the same time, forcing him to pass the ball back to the left wing to Ronnie.
Ronnie stopped the ball and faced Paulo Ferreira.
The former Setubal right back is as steady as an old dog. He doesn’t sway, fake, or change speed and direction...
The Madeira player looked up at the penalty area and saw that Su Dong, who had just pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball, was already in place and looking at his side. Ronnie knew clearly what Su Dong was waiting for.
Ronnie accelerated directly, trying to force a breakthrough along the left wing, allowing Ferreira to block it immediately. However, he suddenly stopped, dunked the ball back, and passed his left foot to his right foot. Ronnie's back was against the left sideline.
Facing the center, pull the ball back with your right foot.
This pull caused Ferreira to lose his position and exposed a passage to the penalty area.
Without thinking, Ronnie quickly sent a high ball pass with his right foot.
In tonight's game, Sporting Lisbon's two wings sent several crosses.
But without exception, most of them were grabbed by Jorge Costa, and Carvalho.
Su Dong did grab it once, but he didn't judge the landing point very well and missed the right spot.
But this time it's different.
Jorge Costa blocks Sudong's left side, and Ronnie's cross must pass over his head first.
When the Porto veteran saw the ball, his first reaction was that the ball was a bit high.
But the ball came so fast that Jorge Costa didn't have any extra time to judge. Su Dong stood behind him and got stuck in the position first, so he could only take off hastily.
At this moment, he felt in his heart that he could not hit the ball, but he also did not think that Su Dong behind him could hit the ball.
Although Su Dong is seven centimeters taller than him, the ball he cannot hit is still higher than Su Dong.
But what surprised him was that after he took off, he felt a huge pressure coming from behind.
When he jumped high, stretched his neck, and tried to head the ball, he felt the ball pass over his head on the one hand, and felt as if there was a huge mountain rolling in behind him.
This feeling was very uncomfortable and made his heart skip a beat.
When Jorge Costa jumped high, Su Dong also jumped up at the same time.
Neither of them took a run-up, they just took off from the same place, relying on their usual training and the strength of their bodies to support their entire bodies.
He has been accumulating strength and waiting for opportunities.
When Ronnie passes the ball, he knows his chance is coming.
He used all his strength and energy to jump as high as possible with his 1.95 meter tall body.
He felt like he was flying.
He longs to fly higher!
higher!
His eyes were originally on the back of Jorge Costa's head. After the Porto central defender took off, what he saw was the back, but as he also took off, he soon discovered that he saw Jorge Costa.
Above my head, I saw a football flying over from a distance.
not enough!
Higher!
Su Dong gritted his teeth and stretched his neck. He saw the football flying from the left and came to him in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, he completely lost his mind and could only rely on his instinctive feeling to stretch his head forward.
"Enough!!!!"
"Su Dong grabbed the spot!"
"Header!!!!"
“The ball went in!!!!”
"goalllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Su Dong's header blasted Porto's goal, one to zero!!!!"
When the ball was headed into the left side of the goal by Su Dong, goalkeeper Baia was beyond his reach.
And in an instant, the entire Alvalade Stadium went completely crazy.
All the fans rushed out of their seats excitedly, looking ferocious and shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Su!!!!!!!"
"Mars!!!!!"
Jorge Costa reacted the moment he landed. He turned his head as if in mourning, and saw Su Dong descending to earth like a god from heaven, appearing in front of him.
He knows better than anyone what losing the ball at this time means to Porto.
But Su Dong obviously ignored his mood, roared crazily, rushed out of the stadium, and went to celebrate.
