There is a dream called football

Chapter 113 The Gap with the Champion

Chapter 113 The Gap with the Champion

At the 75th minute of the second half, Mourinho gave it another go, replacing the midfielder Kostinia and replacing the Russian Alenichev.

But the more this is the case, the less afraid Milan is. Ancelotti was a player when he was young, and he understands the essence of Italian football defense very well.

After another 5 minutes, it was 80 minutes, and the score was still 2-0. At this time, Mourinho didn't want any beautiful football. He replaced the high center forward Almeida, ready to play a long pass.

Looking at Almeida's figure, Ancelotti knew what the opponent was thinking, and the other striker McCarthy was actually quite tall.

Maniche went down the wing, and Milan's defenders followed closely. Any fool could see that this was about to make a cross, but Maniche happened to pass back to Deco in front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

After Deco took the ball, he suddenly flicked his ankle, raised it high, and the ball flew towards Almeida. Under the close contact of the opponent's defender, the strong center Almeida was able to hold the ball, and even turned around and shot.

"Ok."

Clap clap clap.

Mourinho began to applaud. This is a good start. Although it is a bit ugly, it is indeed effective.

Almeida is like a wedge inserted into the penalty area. It is impossible to always let the central defender face him directly, so that if there is a foul, it will be a penalty.

So Brazilian goalkeeper Dida strengthened his range of activities, and he was going to pick off the first cross.

The tall Dida jumps with his arms fully extended for about 3 meters, and has a wide range of control. After he stepped up his attack, Porto's long pass was misfired again.

Mourinho waved his hand and asked Almeida to compete with Dida, even if it was a foul.

Deco sent in a cross again. This kick was really tricky. It was not so close to the goalkeeper, but a lot farther. Dida quickened his pace. After jumping up, a big man came to meet him. Dida threw his hands.

The ball flew to the side, Li Qiao kicked the ball into the empty goal, Mourinho began to celebrate wantonly, an away goal.

"We had an away goal."

But Morais saw something strange on the field.

"Jose, we seem to have fouled."

"foul?"

Mourinho thought this was impossible. Dida and Almeida were outside the small penalty area when they grabbed the ball.

If it is in the small penalty area, the goalkeeper is protected and cannot be touched, but outside the small penalty area, the goalkeeper has no privileges like ordinary players.

"what happened?"

The referee's gesture is very clear, then Almeida fouled, and the referee believes that Almeida collided with the goalkeeper.

"My goodness."

Mourinho was furious, "Could it be that all Milan's penalty areas are small penalty areas?"

Mourinho's cannibalistic expression annoyed the referee. He warned Mourinho, but did not eject him from the pitch.

"Stop it, Jose." Mores persuaded, but Mourinho was still furious.

The game continued, the ball still had some blows to the hearts of the Porto players, but then a bigger blow followed, that is, Milan scored again, and the score became 3-0.

The ball was so fast that even the broadcast camera didn't keep up with it. It was Gattuso who threw the sideline ball, but he suddenly threw it forward like a grenade. Inzaghi followed like a civet and lobbed the far corner.

The ball took a wide arc and flew into the back corner of the goal. This ball is a bit like the ball that Juventus was lobbed by Dortmund in 1998, but this time Inzaghi completed the lob from inside the penalty area.

Mourinho will not argue with this ball at all, because there is nothing to argue about, and there is no offside when throwing the ball from the sideline.

Mourinho smiled wryly and made a gesture of wiping his neck. This was self-deprecating, but it was 0 to 3, which was indeed a death sentence for Porto.

Li Qiao was alone on the court, and he didn't know what the future would hold. After all, Porto had never met AC Milan in his previous life. If memory serves, Manchester United was the strongest opponent in the knockout round.

The game continued, and Porto continued to attack. At this time, the camera showed a small piece of blue in the stands, and these diehards were still shouting for Porto at this time.

Porto.

Porto.

Porto.

……

……

Mourinho also saw his diehard fans on the big screen, and he gave these fans a thumbs up.

Fans are always the most powerful motivation for players. Seeing these fans, even if it is already 0 to 3, Porto players still don't feel like they have lost.

Li Qiao forced Maldini on the wing, this time the Cavaliers felt the difference in Li Qiao, he seemed to be more ruthless.

Suddenly, Li Qiao took a round arc and McCarthy grabbed the header, but the top of the ball was high.

"That's it, that's how we should be at Porto."

But in the end, Porto did not create a miracle in Milan. At the end of 90 minutes, Porto still did not score a goal, and the score remained at a stinging 3-0.

At the end of the game, Mourinho didn't care about his players, but quickly ran to the fans' stands, raised his hands, and Mourinho applauded his fans.

"Jose."

"Jose."

"Jose."

Mourinho felt that these lovely fans performed the best in this game, and his team obviously failed.

The players gathered slowly, and the fans didn't scold or dissatisfy. For the first time, Li Qiao felt like crying.

Thinking of watching Liverpool games in the previous life, those songs that you will never walk alone, how heart-warming it was.

If Chinese football one day learns to have someone to support it when it loses, and everyone is happy when it wins, then Chinese football will be great.

The fans shouted the player's name one by one.

When it was Li Qiao's turn, Li Qiao bowed to everyone.

Ancelotti didn't leave right away. He saw this scene and was touched in his heart. It's not easy for such a team to play in the next round.

"I have long heard that the Dragon Stadium is the most devilish stadium in Europe. It seems that the next game will be a tough game."

It was midnight again, and the team left the San Siro Stadium in the bus. This trip to Milan was bitter, and many players have begun to accept that this is the team's last game in the Champions League this season.

Sitting next to Li Qiao, Maniche looked unhappy, "Joe, do you think our Champions League trip is over?"

Li Qiao really wanted to tell him about the miracle in Istanbul later, but he couldn't, even if he did, it would be useless.

"I know football is round, so I believe we should not have lost."

Maniche chuckled, "You are really an optimistic guy."
