The Ball at Your Feet

: 327 The Stalemate of the Competition

"I don't know what Porto has to play now. Obviously, even God is not on their side. Zhao Yaning can play this kind of ball. I can think of no other reason except God's miracle."

Thierry's words caused Wenger to tilt his head and open his mouth, "Does he believe in God? I think Chinese people believe in Buddhism."

"No, the reporter interviewed him. He is an atheist, you know the Chinese..." Thierry curled his lips and did not continue.

Wenger also changed the subject with interest, "The significance of this ball is very significant. Compared with the goal itself, his will to the Porto players is even more devastating."

In fact, in terms of the goal itself, it is not a particularly difficult goal. The opponent's goalkeeper has fallen to the ground, and the defender has not been able to block it in time. What Zhao Yaning needs to do is to get to the position in time, and then shoot the ball with one kick.

Compared with Rivaldo's barb from outside the penalty area, this ball is really nothing. But the problem is that the background of this ball is the Champions League final after all, and it is a goal to reverse the game. The meaning of this goal is very different.

The meaning is different, the time is different, the goal is naturally different.

"What we are looking at now is who will be smarter on both sides in the next time."

When Wenger spoke, Porto also made a substitution adjustment. Alenichev replaced Alberto, and at the same time midfielder Kostija was replaced by forward McCarthy. Porto made two adjustments at once, and even adjusted the formation to 433.

"I remember that Ranieri made this adjustment when he was facing Chelsea..."

"It's different." Wenger immediately replied, "In that game, Monaco was sent off a man. The midfielder was at a disadvantage. It was the deterrence of Zhao Yaning that supported the midfield situation. Chelsea’s replacement of one person is tantamount to liberating Zhao Yaning and naturally lose faster. But in this game, Monaco has already achieved a great advantage in the midfield. Porto’s Deco was completely locked. I can’t attack, and I am unable to compete with Monaco for midfield control. So instead of playing with Monaco in midfield with 442, it’s better to go to a midfielder, strengthen the attack, and fight hard.

"But doing it the same way, isn't it a bit of gambling?" Thierry asked rhetorically.

"What the football coach does is gambling. The more gambling substitutions, the greater the effect. I just don't know if the Porto substitutions this time will work."

The substitution of Porto was seen by Zhao Yaning. There was one missing midfielder and his pressure was naturally much less. After getting the ball again, he began to attack at the front of the penalty area. In the game just now, he noticed that the opponent's left back, Costa, also slowed down. He also ran for seventy minutes, and didn't have much strength to do any more moves. And Zhao Yaning also seized this opportunity, trying to make some beautiful cooperation with Jiuli.

Dribbling, accelerating, changing direction and shaking... After trying to play Mendes a few times, Zhao Yaning made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the penalty area. When Jiuli received the ball, Zhao Yaning had already ran towards the penalty kick. point.

But Giuly's state is really not good enough. After he got the ball, he was cut off by Costa when he was snatched by Carvalho.

Zhao Yaning inserted into the penalty area, the midfielder was out of place, Deco received the pass, turned around and kicked the ball to the side of Alenichev who quickly inserted it!

"Porto's quick counterattack! Very fast!"

Alenichev, who had just been replaced, hadn't run much yet. Now it was just when he was full of energy, he dashed in strides, and at the same time he kept looking back at the position of his teammates, but behind him, The approach of another person made him even more concerned.

"Maikon has caught up!"

Maicon's astonishing speed of chasing made Thierry excited. Monaco is indeed a team that attacks better than defense, but when this pair of wing players get serious, their strength is definitely the best in Ligue 1!

When Alenichev turned and was about to cross, Maicon had already jumped over. He slammed his shovel in front of Alenichev, blocking the route of the cross, and then waited. When he stopped completely, he turned over and got stuck in position, stretched his foot to steal the ball.

The extremely smooth defensive action also made him break the ball. Then, he kicked the ball out of the sideline and solved the danger.

"A great full-back." Wenger was also interested in his defense. "Really a good player."

At this time, Porto also got a chance for a throw-in. Costa threw the ball out, and it was Mendes in midfield who received the ball. After Mendes passed the ball to Deco, Deco did not immediately make another pass, but rushed towards Monaco. Line of defender.

This made the players of Monaco a little flustered. They thought Porto's style of play was a shot after a quick pass. Deco's impact was beyond their expectation.

Squelach made it up for the first time, which also made an empty space behind him. Deco passed the ball with a kick, and Alenichev, who got the ball, shot it with a kick. The ball flew over Roma's hands and fell into the Monaco net!

"Oh, no!" Thierry yelled angrily.

It's already the 77th minute. At this time, a goal was lost and the score became a 2-2 tie. This is really not good news.

"How can I lose the ball at this time?" Thierry couldn't help but want to swear. "We have the winning ticket, but we lost the ball in an instant! Oh... Is that coach insane?"

At this time, Mourinho screamed and rushed into the field. After a slip and kneel, he stretched out his arms towards the sky-Thierry had never seen any coach who celebrated his players' goals like this.

Wenger didn't speak. At this time, he began to look at the Portuguese on the sidelines seriously for the first time.

What he is doing now, Wenger is very indifferent: a coach, after his player has scored, ran on the court to play on the court, it is really out of dignity. There are many ways to motivate players, why use this method? Not elegant enough.

But on the other hand, he also noticed the strength of the Portuguese. Being able to use a substitution to activate the team, and at the same time able to stimulate the player's strength with excellent tactical details, this person's strength is absolutely extraordinary.

Thinking of those interesting rumors about Chelsea, Wenger did not say much. It seems that next season, the Premier League will be very lively.

At this time, Monaco has already kicked off.

Losing the lead so quickly made the players of Monaco feel a little depressed. Zhao Yaning tried to cooperate with Roten several times, but there was no good chance. Obviously, the opponent had made up his mind to play an overtime game~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but this is not what Zhao Yaning wanted. . An advantage game, because the opponent's two counterattacks kicked overtime? This is too aggrieved.

Once again, the ball was given to Roten, Zhao Yaning pointed to the penalty area and ran up by himself.

Rothen looked inside the penalty area and gave a long pass to Morientes. The Porto defenders still didn't relax their entanglement with Morientes. He didn't even have room to turn around, let alone head the ball. He flew the header with a header and once again handed the ball to the forward Zhao Yaning. And Zhao Yaning's hand pointed to the left, which made Cavallo subconsciously want to go there to block his pass to Morientes, but it was the mistake of this step that made Zhao Yaning pass him from his right. Reached the restricted area!

"Zhao Yaning has entered the penalty area! Two guards are defending!"

Both Carvalho and Valente followed Zhao Yaning, on the one hand to prevent him from shooting, and on the other hand to prevent him from passing the ball to Morientes. Even Baia was attracted by his steps and moved, for fear of being humiliated by him again. At this time, Zhao Yaning suddenly raised his thigh, and just as Baia fell to the ground to save, Zhao Yaning's leg was retracted, and the ball was passed to Jiuli on the right.

When Jiuli got the ball, he faced half of the empty goal. He didn't hesitate to raise his leg and shoot!

"Oh my God! Jiuli missed the ball in front of the empty goal!"

It's been eighty-four minutes to look at the world, and Thierry couldn't help but want to buy Guri. But at this time, seeing Jiuli, who was kneeling on the ground in the restricted area, buried his face in his hands, he really couldn't swear.

At this point, the players' efforts should not be underestimated. Faced with an empty goal, a goal must be scored. Who else would be more uncomfortable by Jiuli himself? If this game really loses, will he regret it for life?

I can only pray that the game will not be lost...
