Chapter 115 Porto's Desperate Situation

"Yasin, what the hell are you doing!?"

Jiang Yuan, who was sitting in the second row of the bench, felt his heart pounding as he listened to Lopetegui's roar.

Of course, Yassin was talking about Brahimi.

Jiang Yuan should be sad because his teammates performed poorly, but for some reason, Jiang Yuan just couldn't be sad.

However, Jiang Yuan was sure that this had nothing to do with the fact that Brahimi was the starting left winger.

It really has nothing to do with it!
"Cheer up, we have to score another goal!"

Martinez waved his hands and shouted, "After conceding a goal at the start, the mentality of the Porto players must be very bad. As the captain, all Martinez could do was cheer the players on."

I don’t know why, although we used the same tactics as in the first round, this game seemed to be completely controlled by Bayern.

"FC Bayern, Stern des Südens!"

"FC Bayern!"

"..."

Muller's first goal in the 6th minute brought the Allianz Arena to a climax.

Those who can buy tickets for the Champions League knockout stage are all old fans. They have watched a lot of games, so they all know that if a goal is scored in the first 6 minutes, this game will most likely be a goal feast for both sides!

"Beep!"

In the center circle, captain Martinez was responsible for kicking off and the ball came to Casemiro's feet.

After scoring the goal, Porto was thinking about how to quickly equalize the score, so Casemiro did not hesitate after taking the ball and made a long pass to Quaresma's feet.

After getting the ball, the Portuguese star wanted to complete a one-on-one dribble on the wing, but unfortunately he failed to break through the double pressure of Thiago and Alonso, and had to pass the ball back to Herrera.

At this moment, Lewandowski rushed up, and so did Muller and Gotze. The three of them suppressed Porto's three midfielders respectively. Herrera could only choose to pass the ball to the full-back Reyes.

Lewandowski made an arc movement, bypassing Herrera and heading straight for Reyes.

In this way, Reyes had to pass the ball back to Fabiano for safety reasons. The Porto goalkeeper did not stop the ball and kicked it out of the sideline with a big foot.

Bayern's throw-in.

"Wow, the situation on the field is now one-sided. Porto, who lacks two defensive players, Sandro and Danilo, seems a bit passive in the situation. Obviously, Bayern's understanding of flank and rib attacks is superb, which has exceeded the limit of Porto's defense. In addition, Lewandowski and Muller's pressing will cause great trouble for Porto's backcourt passes."

"Yes, Alex Sandro and Danilo are indispensable defensive gates for Porto, but Coach He, I think Porto's main problem is not defense."

"Oh? Coach Zhan, if you have any opinions, feel free to share them with the fans in the live broadcast room, haha."

"What Porto lost was confidence. I feel that from the coach to the players, Porto was not mentally prepared for Bayern's home advantage and the strong high-pressure defense that Bayern displayed at the beginning of the game. We can see that compared with the first leg, Guardiola made a lot of tactical and personnel adjustments in this game, but Lopetegui did not. From this perspective, the 3:2 lead at home seems to have made Porto a little careless."

"I think what Coach Zhan said is right. The players' confidence on the field is... Hey, Bayern started to counterattack, Rafinha made a long pass, Gotze and Bernat played against the wall."

"It went over, Gotze successfully completed the bottom line, but his cross was blocked by Reyes, Gotze chose to pass back, the ball came to Boateng's feet, a 45-degree cross, and Badstuber headed the ball into the goal."

"The ball went in!!!"

"Badstuber's goal!"

"Bayern, who were one goal behind away from home, scored two goals in just 20 minutes. This is the charm of the Allianz Arena! This is Bayern Munich!"

After scoring the goal, Badstuber slid to his knees near the corner flagpole and responded to the fans' cheers with a roar.

After the director replayed the goal video, he immediately turned the camera to Lopetegui on the sidelines. The Porto coach now had a gloomy face and did not say a word.

The camera shot of Lopetegui also captured Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan, who was chewing gum, was already the calmest one on the Porto bench.

[They are all losers, losers, rubbish Porto, I’m fucking stupid]

[Damn, Brother Long, why are you so awesome? Can you get intercepted more often? If you keep doing this, Jiang Yuan won’t have a chance to play! ]

[What's the difference between Porto's wing and the TM road? Why is Torres always out of position? Can anyone tell me why? And Fabiano, why are you so bad? ]

[King Jiang, save me!!!]

[Your King Jiang can't help! ]

[To be honest, it is better to use Jiang Yuan than Brahimi. Brahimi has no defensive ability anyway, so it is better to use Jiang Yuan to strengthen the offense. Jiang Yuan at least dares to take action, but Brahimi just passes back when he encounters defense, and the offense depends entirely on Casemiro and Quaresma. This captain Martinez is also outrageous, playing as a center forward and playing invisible. If it gets darker, I'm afraid I won't be able to find him.]

[Don’t blame Porto, Bayern’s condition in this game is indeed much better than the previous game. At least Long Ge was really fierce in this game. Long Ge who didn’t lose the ball is still very good]

[Excuse me, is there something wrong with the coach of Porto? They were leading by one goal in the first round, but they played like this in the second half. They should go back to Spain to fight bulls.]

[The trolls are still very strong. As a Barcelona fan, I still think Porto will win, because it is hard to say whether Barcelona will win against Bayern, but there will be no problem against Porto! ]

[Hmm... Well, from another perspective, if Porto beat Bayern, wouldn't Jiang Yuan have to play against Messi? ]

[Fuck! Come on, Porto! Go, go, go! ! ! ]

…Just as the audience in the live broadcast room were dreaming of Porto’s reversal, Bayern’s attack began again.

Lahm made a cross from the right, Muller passed the ball to the back post, and Lewandowski scored with a header in front of the goal.

"Goal!!!!"

"3:0!"

"3:0!"

The hoarse roar of the live commentator rang out at the Allianz Arena. In the 27th minute, Bayern was leading by 3 goals.

The fans at the scene sang the team song and were extremely happy. They originally thought that this would be a evenly matched offensive battle, but now it seems that the home team is just unilaterally crushing the visiting team.

In sharp contrast to the atmosphere of the home team fans, the Porto fans who traveled to Germany to support the team were silent and had gloomy faces.

One of the boys, who was wearing a blue and white striped baby jersey, asked his father, "Dad, didn't we win the game before? Why can't we beat them now?"

The boy's father, also wearing a jersey with Quaresma's name on the back, touched the boy's head and explained: "Because they are all garbage!"

……

At the end of the first half, with Lewandowski's two goals, the score was fixed at 4:0. Porto was 3 goals behind in the aggregate score. Porto only had 45 minutes left to play. In the last 45 minutes, Porto had to score at least 4 more goals to win the game.

"Asshole! Aaaah!"

Lopetegui pushed over the tactical blackboard. He was very angry, but he didn't know who to be angry with.

"Hu Lun, calm down!"

Hemil grabbed Lopetegui's arm and tried to persuade him to calm down.

Lopetegui looked around the locker room, looking at the dejected players, and said angrily: "Calm down? You played so badly, I'm a bastard, I don't deserve to be the coach of Porto..."

"..."

Hearing Lopetegui's words, the players were all stunned. It seemed that their coach had been stunned.

Lopetegui was angry, of course, but as a coach, he had to take responsibility for the team's poor performance, so he changed the subject: "Jiang, Ruben, Pereira, you three start warming up now."

"In the second half, our tactics will remain unchanged. We will try to attack as much as possible and not have any worries..."

Although he said he was trying to attack, Lopetegui also understood that there was no chance of winning in this situation.

Facing Bayern, away from home, three goals behind.

Taking these three conditions into consideration, Porto is now basically in a dead end.

If Lopetegui prays to God, God will definitely reply to him: "Stop dreaming"

At this time, Quaresma, who had been holding grudges for a long time in the first half, suddenly stood up and asked angrily: "Hulun, shouldn't we adjust our tactics now?"

"Adjust tactics?"

Lopetegui smiled bitterly. As a coach, he could certainly see the problems with the team's tactics.

But the foundation of tactical execution is first-class players. What is the point of changing tactics when main defenders Sandro and Danilo are absent and main striker Brahimi Martinez is in a slump?
Lopetegui sighed and said slowly: "Let's play a defensive counterattack. This is the last chance. If possible..."

Defensive counterattack?

Jiang Yuan frowned. He really wanted to tell Lopetegui that they should not play defense when the main defender was not there.

But when he thought of Porto's poor performance in the frontcourt today, Jiang Yuan swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

Yes, defensive counterattack, high-pressure defense, passing and controlling the ball...

What’s the use of these?
All Porto could do was struggle desperately in front of Bayern.

……

"At the beginning of the second half, we returned to the game and saw Jiang Yuan warming up on the sidelines. I wonder when Lopetegui will put Jiang Yuan on the field today."

"According to Lopetegui's arrangement in the last game, I think Jiang Yuan should still play for 75 minutes in this game. What do you think, Coach He?"

"Haha, I think Jiang Yuan will play a little earlier this time. I guess 70 to 75 minutes. After all, Jiang Yuan's long shot in the first leg was still very amazing. As the head coach, Lopetegui should give Jiang Yuan more opportunities."

"Hey, Coach He, I don't quite agree with what you said. Porto is in a desperate situation right now. It won't be a good idea to send in a substitute in this situation. You know, in the first leg, Porto let Jiang Yuan come on as a substitute when the game was tied at 2:2!"

"I think there is not much difference between 2:2 and falling behind. As coach Zhan said, Porto is in a desperate situation now. To break out of a desperate situation, we must dare to try."

Unconsciously, the two commentators from CCTV 5 focused all their attention on Jiang Yuan who was warming up on the sidelines. As for commenting on the game, there was nothing much to comment on now. If Porto wanted to win, they had to score four goals against Bayern in the second half?
This is undoubtedly a fantasy!
