Chapter 168 Porto Away

In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Costa will continue to be suspended. Simeone asked Baptistan to partner with Ringer. Adrian, who performed poorly in the last round of the Champions League, was abandoned.

When the two teams played, Yang Ma, who was broadcasting the Champions League, told the two teams about their historical records: "Atletico Madrid and Porto have played against each other four times in the history of the Champions League, all in recent years. , the overall record is that Porto has an overall advantage with 2 wins and 2 draws."

"The UEFA Champions League in the 08/09 season, that was the last time that Atletico Madrid could enter the Champions League knockout round. Atletico Madrid met Porto in the round of 2. Atletico Madrid drew 2:0 at home and 0:[-] away, because the away goal was conceded. Knocked out."

"The UEFA Champions League in 09/10 was the last time Atletico Madrid participated in the UEFA Champions League. They were grouped with Porto in the group stage, and they were double-killed in both home and away games. This directly led to Atletico Madrid being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League group stage that year."

"They met again in the Champions League this year. Although Atletico Madrid is better overall, Porto has more experience in the Champions League."

Porto played a 433 formation at home. They sold a lot of good players in the midfield and frontcourt in the summer, but the players on the back line are all very capable.

The Brazilians Alex Sandro and Danilo formed the two full-backs, while the Frenchman Mangala and the Argentine Otamendi formed the central defenders.

In the opening 10 minutes, both teams were making some attempts, and there was no substantial offense.Atlético Madrid have just completed a tough derby at the weekend, and although they beat Real Madrid, everyone was exhausted.

For Porto, although they are a first-tier team, they know in their hearts that Atletico Madrid is stronger than them, and they dare not rashly attack wildly as soon as they come up.

In the 12th minute, Porto's Josue made a cross from the right, and Barrera headed the ball in the middle. Tuva took the ball easily.

The opponent's offense appeared to be non-threatening, but who knows that soon there will be changes on the court.

In the 16th minute, Barrera earned a free kick for Porto on the left, and Linge also returned to the penalty area to help defend, and he was followed by the black and hard Colombian Jackson Martinez.

The opponent's Josue kicked the ball out. It was a pass and shot towards the small penalty area in front of the goal.Everyone is rushing in desperately. Atletico Madrid wants to clear the siege, and Porto wants to attack. With such a good free kick, as long as the offensive player touches it, there is a high probability of scoring a goal.

Ringer found that Martinez, the black hard guy beside him, had the fastest reaction, and rushed out in one go, unable to keep up at all.In a hurry, Ringer even wanted to pull someone, but the puller was a step slower. When Ringer raised his hand, the opponent had already dived to the top of the ball. At such a short distance, Courtois is not God, there is no way to save it.

"Wow~~~"

There were huge cheers in the Dragon Stadium, and Martinez was kneeling on the sidelines to celebrate.

They all know that this time they are facing a team that has just defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, a team that competes with Barcelona in the La Liga standings. They slaughtered the team at will, and they were able to break through the opponent's goal in the opening ten points. The Porto fans were very excited and cheered and celebrated.

Linger was walking back. Although he was not a full-time defensive player, the opponent scored goals under his defense, and he was a little disappointed.

"Next time if you can't keep up, you can start to help people earlier. Many people gather together in the free kick defense, and the referee can't see it every time." Uruguayan Godin came over and said to Ringer: "Looking at the situation just now, Their offensive ability is not strong, we are confident that we will not give them another chance, as to whether we can win or not, it depends on you.”

Ringer knew what Godin meant, and they could defend in the backcourt next, but now that the score is behind, the final result of the game will mainly depend on the offensive players in the frontcourt led by Ringer.

Relying on the momentum of the goal, the opponent attacked for a while.

In the 19th minute, Martinez's pass and the opponent's captain Lucho Gonzalez's shot was blocked by the Brazilian Miranda.

In the 25th minute, Fernando's pass and Martinez's shot went wide under Godin's interference.

Porto continued to attack, and Atletico Madrid also had a chance to counterattack.

In the 28th minute, Atletico Madrid counterattacked. As soon as Ringer took the ball in the midfield, he was knocked down by the opponent's Josue.

After 3 minutes, Ringer was brought down in another counterattack. Although this time Josue received a yellow card for bringing down Ringer twice in a row, Ringer frowned a little. It seemed that the opponent was planning to use foul tactics to stop you Atletico's counterattack.

In this case, the chances of counterattacking and directly attacking the goal will be reduced, but correspondingly, more opportunities for set kicks can be obtained.

Most of the set kicks rely on headers. Ringer is currently the most threatening point of Atletico Madrid, but his header ability is not strong. Porto's foul tactics inherently limit Ringer's offensive ability.

"Red card~~Give that bastard a red card!!" Simeone yelled the loudest from the sidelines. He knew that the team had just gone through a difficult derby match, and now the whole team is not in a good state.

Obviously the opponent also knows this, so they use fouls to interrupt their team's offense, trying to make their players even worse.

In the 35th minute, Raul Garcia made a pass from the bottom of the right. Ringer rushed up and seemed to get the ball, but he jumped over the ball and leaked the ball to the back point.At this time, the Porto players who were about to foul Ringer were caught off guard, but Turan, who was on the back point, was also caught off guard. With no one marking him, Turan hit the ball in one fell swoop.

"Oh~" Simeone and Fatty Boggs on the sidelines both hugged their heads and sighed together. This is a rare chance to score directly.

When the opponent fouls a lot, Ringer can only take more long-range shots from the outside, but his long-range shots today are not in a good state.

In the 42nd minute, Ringer's long shot from the left side in front of the penalty area hit the goal for the first time and earned a corner kick for the team.

Gabi is responsible for taking the corner kick, and Linge and his teammates are all in front of the goal.Since Ringer is not good at header ability, the Porto players mainly defend Thiago, Raul Garcia and other header ability, and the Porto captain Lucho Gonzalez is following Ringer , exactly 1 meters tall.

Although corner kicks are tactical, the kick-off player will know the gesture better than himself, but that gesture only means which position the kick-off player wants to drive the ball to. As for whether the ball can really fly there On the point, it's hard to say.

If every corner kick, the kick-off player can accurately drive the ball to the desired point, then the corner kick rate may be quite terrifying, and it will become a horror that is only a penalty kick, because the header is too close to the goal. It's hard for the goalkeeper to react.

Gabi also gestured, indicating that he was going to drive the ball to the back point, so Raul Garcia, Thiago, etc. were all ready to go back.

The corner kick was taken, and an arc was drawn in the air. Raul Garcia and others were squeezing backwards. Porto's defensive players also knew what this meant. Squeeze behind to participate in the defense.

Ringer was at the front point, but found that the ball did not hit the back accurately, but fell quickly and came towards the front point.

So Ringe immediately jumped up with all his strength, first took off and pressed Gonzalez next to him, and then shook his head to attack the goal in the face of the fast-moving ball.

"Lin~~ Beautiful head shake!!"

bang~
After the ball touched Ringer's forehead, it was pulled by the force of his swinging head, and there was an obvious refraction, and it flew towards the upper corner behind the goal.

Porto goalkeeper Helton didn't react at all, just turned his head and sent the ball past him.

Bang~!

Another bang, the ball hit the back post and bounced into the goal.

"Gooooool~~~~~"

"Lingoal~~Lingoal scored with a header to help the team equalize!!"

"Ringer~~Ringer scored with a header, and looked back at the moon to help the team equalize. If I remember correctly, this should be Ringer's first header in the Champions League." Keep a lot of records for Ringer.

"Atletico Madrid's header tactic is quite good this time. First, let a group of players point back to attract the attention of the defense, and let Ringer get a one-on-one opportunity in the front point. With the tactical cooperation of his teammates, Ringer lived up to everyone's expectations and finally helped Madrid. Athletic equalized the score!!" Ringer had already celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines, and the commentators were still explaining the header just now.

This is the case in many cases. Some goals scored by accident on the court will be considered as deliberate tactical cooperation.
