Chapter 290
After Gao Xiaodong made a high-quality long shot, assists became more frequent. He thought Guarin, a newcomer, would stay behind to defend, but he didn't expect Guarin to be a raw guy. Today is the first time in the Champions League, and I didn't know how to help the team's big shots wipe their butts. Seeing Dynamo Kiev being suppressed in the half, Gao Xiaodong and Meleres both intervened in assists, and he actually ran to the frontcourt to assist.
Guarin was also very lucky. He just assisted, and the captain Lucho's adventure was intercepted by Dynamo Kiev's midfielder Vukoevich, and then a long pass hit the frontcourt and found his teammate Milevski.
Milevsky, who is 1.90 meters tall, is a Ukrainian footballer. He is strong and has excellent skills. Although he is not good at heading, his judgment of the landing point allows him to grab the header before Rolando.
A lion shook his head, and Milevsky flew the ball to the extremely fast Guinea Bangura.
Bangula stopped with her chest forward and quickly drove the ball towards centre-back Alves.
Gao Xiaodong and Melles were both frightened. Melles cursed at Guarin: "Bastard! Who made you assist?" He ran back desperately with Gao Xiaodong to see if there was any chance to make up for it.
Let you all run up, don’t you know what you do? Captain Lu Qiao was anxious and gloating when he saw this scene.
Fernando, sitting on the bench, was as complicated as Lucho. Now he was competing for a position with Guarin. He actually hoped that Guarin would make a mistake so that he would have the chance to dominate the position. However, he was also worried that Porto would lose again, and the prospect of Porto qualifying in this game would be slim.
Nearly 50,000 Porto fans in the stands were even more nervous. The singing of the song came to an abrupt end, and everyone was nervously watching Bangula, who was driving the ball and Alves who was defending.
Without the protection of the midfielder, in the huge space, a tall defender like Alves cannot stop a speed striker like Bangula.
Alves retreated quickly, hoping to compress Bangula's dribbling space and wait for his teammates to support him.
But Bangula did not give Alves a chance. He trolled the ball and changed direction and ate Alves with his speed.
Alves chased after him desperately, but when he was about to reach the penalty area, Bangula suddenly stopped and changed direction.
Bangula was not tall and prepared, and changed direction very quickly, and directly threw the bulky Alves aside.
Undefended Bangula broke into the penalty area and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goalkeeper Helton with a foot arch.
1:0
The Dynamo Kiev, who played away, took the lead in the score.
More than a thousand Ukrainian fans cheered and although the voices were weak, they could be heard throughout the game because the Porto fans at the entire Dragon Stadium were silent.
Dynamo Kiev head coach Semin was extremely excited. He waved his fist hard and roared angrily, "Calm the grass!" and turned around and hugged his assistants.
Porto's head coach Ferreira was very annoyed. To be cautious, he also lined up a three-middle midfielder formation in the face of the weakest opponent in this group. Unexpectedly, when the opponent counterattacked, all three-middle midfielders were not in the position, allowing the opponent to score easily.
The commentator on the scene said angrily: "Where is the back midfielder? Where is the back midfielder? Are you going to post a missing person notice?"
Chen Qiang, sitting in the stands, said to Monkey and Xiao Le speechlessly: "What's going on? Why is Xiaodong so anxious today? All three back midfielders ran up."
The monkey said: "I don't know, Gao Xiaodong is indeed a little anxious today. Maybe it was because he lost the last game against Arsenal."
Xiao Le said: "It's a bit abnormal today and I'm eager to score a goal."
On the field
Melleres could not criticize Gao Xiaodong, because he was the celebrity in the coaching and chairman's heart, so he cursed Guarin.
Guarin was scolded and said, "You can assist, why can't I?"
Gao Xiaodong was both angry and anxious, and funny, thinking to himself, this bastard’s IQ is really touching.
The Porto players were very anxious to concede one goal at home, and the offensive was higher and higher, trying to equalize the score in the first half.
Dynamo Kiev is an old martial arts world and a regular visitor to the Champions League. They have their own way of survival. Although they have contracted again after leading, they have invested more troops when they counterattack, hoping to steal another one while Porto is in a hurry.
Porto is even more an old UEFA Champions League. Although he is eager to equalize the score, he does not forget to defend. After Gao Xiaodong and Meleres were cheated by Guarin once, they were much more cautious. They no longer intervened at the same time. When one of them assists, the other stayed in the back.
On the contrary, Guarin, the young man who was in a vague way, unconsciously intervened frequently, hoping to score a goal to make up for the mistake of losing the ball before.
In the 38th minute of the game, Porto won the best goal opportunity. Lucho, Meleres and Risandro made wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt. Lucho opened a gap in the dense middle and broke into the penalty area.
Faced with Dynamo Kiev's siege, Lucho had no chance to kick. He knocked the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Meleres pulled his foot and shot angrily. The ball was blocked by the post. Fucilei, who assisted the ball from the wing, rushed to the bottom line and passed it to the goal. Hulk used his strong body to squeeze out the defensive player and scored five meters away from the goal, but the ball slipped out.
The two consecutive must-scoring opportunities failed to score, which made the Porto fans sigh to the sky.
This was Porto's best and last shot in the first half. Dynamo Kiev then tightened the defense. Porto could no longer create a greater threat and could only return to the locker room with the disadvantage of falling behind by one goal.
After entering the locker room, Lu Qiao lost her temper first and said to head coach Ferreira: "The midfielder was responsible for conceding the ball in the first half. When the opponent counterattacked, there was no one in front of our defender."
Lu Qiao's arrow pointed directly at Gao Xiaodong and the local gang.
Risandro said with a helping voice: "The opponent shot several times in the first half and hit our penalty area several times. He shot three times in total, and once into the penalty area, and he scored the goal."
Melleres retorted: "We are not alone. I greeted Guarin when I went up, but he went up to assist."
Gao Xiaodong also said: "I told Guarin too, let him guard the back and I'll go up."
Guarin said stubbornly, "I think they can't even pass the half. There are two central defenders behind them, so they go up to assist."
Guarin means that the two central defenders are incompetent, and the two central defenders Rolando and Alves are both local gangs.
Team deputy Alves was annoyed and said, "You know, with such a big space, even three defenders can't deal with two forwards, let alone two."
Ferreira had a gloomy face because this was arranged by him. Now it proved that he was not considering his employment. He waited for the players to say almost everything and said: "Don't argue, the game is like this. We didn't expect Dynamo Kiev to shrink so much, so there were some problems in offense and defense. In the second half, we changed the formation and played 433, Fernando, you play Guarin for the midfielder, Xiaodong, you and Hulk play left and right wingers, and Risandro continues to play center."
Fernando had a premonition that he might play at the end of the first half, but he thought it would be 65 minutes later, but he didn't expect Guarin to be so powerful that he contradicted several big guys in the locker room, but was replaced by the coach during the half-time break.
