In the stands

The game hasn't started yet, and the fans are eating snacks and drinking drinks and chatting.

The monkey looked at the "Fatty Fan Group" behind him and said to Yu Debao: "It is about to celebrate the New Year, and the fan group is not half of the original in this kind of battle."

Yu Debao was not able to enter the competition list today, but he still came to Porto. In addition to watching the game, he spent the Spring Festival with Gao Xiaodong, Monkey and others.

Yu Debao said: "Most of them are at home waiting to watch TV."

The monkey said: “It’s not bad to be able to support Xiaodong in front of the TV. I remember that one year when the National Football Team was also the New Year’s Eve competition. CCTV repeatedly said that fans might be entangled in the Spring Festival Gala and the National Football Match. In fact, they were too self-made. Passionate, the fans don’t look at anything."

Chen Qiang smiled and said: "The Spring Festival Gala is the same as the National Football Team, and it is becoming more and more impossible to watch. It turned out that the Spring Festival Gala was supported by Lao Zhao's sketches. Now Lao Zhao can only cook cold rice."

Monkey said: "The national football team still wants to find Xiaodong to support. Look at the five local coaches running for the national football coach. In the campaign plan they launched, they unanimously stated that they would build a team with Xiaodong as the core, regardless of whether Xiaodong was willing to join. "

Speaking of this, Chen Qiang looked a little ugly, and said: "nnd, originally this was Gao Bo's idea. I hoped to use Xiaodong to boost the popularity of the national football team. I didn't expect the other four campaign coaches to follow the same pattern. They all said they would use Xiaodong as Core team building."

Xiao Le said: "That's not bad, no matter who becomes the head coach of the national team, Xiaodong can be selected."

The monkey said: "Sister Xiaole, in our country, who can be selected for the national team is not the head coach alone."

Chen Qiang said: "Yes, Xiaodong and the Football Association have conflicts, because the position of the chairman has not yet been determined. Fans are calling for Xiaodong to join the national team. The vice-chairmen have acquiesced to Xiaodong joining the national team. It's interesting, but when the five candidate local marshals did this, I heard that the people in the Football Association were very angry and thought Xiaodong was trying to force the palace."

The monkey sighed: "I didn't expect this to happen. Is the chairman of the Football Association sure now, President Chen."

Chen Qiang said: "Seven or eight out of ten are Vice Chairman Yang. It is estimated that it will be announced in early February."

At this time, the players from both sides came out of the locker room, and shouts like a tsunami broke out on the scene, and they couldn't hear each other. Monkey and Chen Qiang cheered together with the fans.

After the cheers subsided, the on-site commentator began to introduce the lineups of the two sides, and focused on introducing the newcomer Falcao to the fans, "...The Colombian Tiger is also here, he is the strongest rookie in the Portuguese Super League, and he came to Porto to play six games. In the game, he scored 6 goals, and his efficiency is higher than that of Gao Xiaodong during the Rexos era. Today, Sporting Lisbon will definitely guard against him. Let's see if the Tigers can show off again!"

On the field

After Porto and Sporting Lisbon exchanged their flags and emblems, the match finally began with a whistle from the referee.

Porto, who is playing at home, hopes to complete the first battle. Today, it has a 433 attack formation. Hulk, Falcao and Risandro play forwards. Gao Xiaodong, Meireles and Fernando play midfield. Launched a fierce attack on Sporting Lisbon.

Although Sporting Lisbon also came to the Dragon Stadium with the purpose of winning, they still have a clear understanding of the strength of the two sides. Bento put on a stable formation of 442, fighting for the midfield, trying to get from the midfield. After stealing, attacked Porto's penalty area, because this is the easiest way to score a goal.

After the opening, the two sides launched a fierce battle in the midfield, and everyone hopes to open the opponent's goal first.

Although Porto’s three strikers have physical, speed and skills, Sporting Lisbon’s players are very targeted in their defense. In addition to one-on-one marking, there are people who are ready to help defend.

The defense against Gao Xiaodong is even tighter. Except for Veloso's special defense, everyone else pays attention to cutting off Gao Xiaodong's forward and both sides passing lines, forcing Gao Xiaodong to pass back.

In addition to being more targeted in defense, Sporting Lisbon is also very decisive in fouling. As long as Porto poses a threat, they will foul immediately. They would rather give Porto a free kick than let Porto fight offense.

Obviously. The smooth sailing Porto’s preparation for this game and determination to win the game are not as good as the away game of Sporting Lisbon. Their strength is a bit higher than Sporting Lisbon. They are still playing at home, but the game lasted for half an hour. Porto was in The scene and the data do not have the upper hand at all.

On the sidelines, Ferreira's face became more serious. He knew that this game was definitely a fierce battle, but now it seems that he still underestimated the opponent's determination.

Today Hulk and Falcao are wingers, but Falcao prefers the position of the center closer to the penalty area. He often runs to the center habitually. He often overlaps with Risandro who plays in the center, and is in the middle. The wing left space for the opponent.

When playing a weak team, Falcao often has such a situation, but the opponent's speed of passing and receiving the ball is slow, it is difficult to seize the gap of Porto, but Sporting Lisbon is the top team in the Portuguese Super League. Their opportunities are terrible.

In the 35th minute of the game, Sporting Lisbon broke Hulk's cross pass at the front of the penalty area. When Falcao went to the center, their left-back Abel had already moved forward and immediately moved for the ball.

Veloso passed the ball to Vukcevic before Gao Xiaodong made a move, and Vukcevic passed Abel diagonally.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Moutinho was also well prepared, he quickly pulled the side, and Albert rushed to the right of Porto.

It was too late for Falcao to return to the defense at the moment, and Porto right-back Sapruna could only face the attack of Abel and Moutinho alone.

Sapruna was originally a tall central defender. He was slow, turned slowly, and was attacked by two people. He was instantly cleaned. Moutinho rushed into the penalty area along the bottom line and faced Alves. He assisted in the defense and passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. At this moment, full-back Abel had already crossed to the front of the penalty area.

Helton had closed to the near corner, but he didn't expect the shot to fly to the far corner. He could only stand there watching the ball into the net.

1:0

Sporting Lisbon took the lead.

The fiery Dragon Stadium instantly quieted down, as if God had poured a huge basin of cold water on his head...

The Sporting Lisbon people began to celebrate wildly, and it felt wonderful to be able to score goals in the rival's court.

Sporting Lisbon coach Paul Bento ran a dozen meters along the edge of the court with excitement. At this moment, he saw the dawn of victory.

Porto coach Ferreira's face turned black. It is very terrible to lose the ball first in the strong dialogue. The three forwards in front are not very defensive people. If they are beaten back by Sporting Lisbon, the next game will be very difficult. Hard to beat.

Ferreira knows that Falcao likes to run in the middle. As an old coach who has coached for decades, he knew Falcao is suitable for center forward after a week, but Risandro has always been the number one center forward. One candidate, Falcao just came to play center, let Risandro play the wing forward, Risandro is definitely not willing, so Ferreira can only let Falcao play the wing forward.

Judging from the previous game, the effect was not bad. You can score goals even in the middle and keep up with the defense. I didn't expect that the first time I faced a strong enemy, the gap was caught by the opponent.

Porto’s live commentator made a severe criticism of Porto’s performance: “From the beginning of the game, Porto has not played firmly enough, not fiercely enough, and has not tried their best. The players just seem to work hard and seem to want to win, and the opponents But he played him as a knockout, the result is definitely different...Falcao is not an all-around player like Gao Xiaodong, he can't play winger, let Falcao play winger, it is better to let Risandro play winger, or Double forwards, play the original 4312 formation, and the three forwards who are in bad condition will be allowed to play on the bench..."

Whoever is in a bad state is allowed to play on the bench. The commentator said so and the fans think so, but they have forgotten that the performances in front of the three Porto strikers are very good. It seems to be a waste to let anyone play on the bench, so Ferreira Just arranged the lineup of three forwards.
