If Gao Xiaodong doesn't make up the defensive side, sapluna will become a sieve. Gao Xiaodong makes up the defensive side, and it's easy to be pierced in the middle. In this case, it's certainly not good to rely on Gao Xiaodong's back. Ferreira decisively let Meireles and Gao Xiaodong partner with double back midfield, and pulled Rodriguez back to play in the midfield. The formation also changed from 433 to 442.
Meireles came to the back midfield position Gao Xiaodong can finally help defend the flank safely, while Aimar has meleres to mark, so it is very difficult for him to break through or pass the ball.
After 20 minutes of the game, Porto slowly pulled back the disadvantage of the field, but to break through Benfica's goal, they still need a breakthrough point to break through Benfica's defense.
Last season, when Gao Xiaodong fought against Benfica on behalf of REXOS, he relied on the iron barrel formation and quick counterattack to win and draw with Benfica. The process was very difficult, mainly relying on Gao Xiaodong's long-range goal.
This season, most of Gao Xiaodong's teammates are members of the national team. Everyone's level is similar to Benfica's. naturally, he doesn't need Gao Xiaodong's back as a scorer.
In the 35th minute of the game, Rodriguez cooperated with fusile and Lucille in a series of short passes on the flank. Fusile broke through to the bottom line, Benfica defender and Porto forward Lisandro did not reach the top, and the ball was snatched by Hulk at the back point to head the ball to the front of the penalty area.
When Hulk headed the ball, Lucio had already made an encirclement to the front of the penalty area. When the ball arrived, Lucio bent his bow and arrow at the front of the penalty area and volleyed through Benfica's goal.
The stadium of light was silent.
Luciano, who scored two goals in a row in the Champions League, was very excited. He ran to the stands and roared at the fans.
The goal in the field of the arch rivals excited the Porto fans. They stood up and chanted Lucio's name.
Benfica couldn't accept such a score at home. After the game started again, they quickened their pace and made more offensive moves.
At this time, Porto's double back Gao Xiaodong and meileles showed great power. They ran tirelessly and intercepted Benfica's attack in the front of the restricted area. Occasionally, there were fish who missed the net and were also defused by the tall central defenders Alves and Rolando.
In the first half, Porto took the lead 1-0. After the second half, Benfica put DiMaria on the right side. This change has received a miraculous effect. The angels on the left side mainly break through and pass, and they were restrained by Gao Xiaodong and sapluna 20 minutes later. The angels on the right side can not only break through and pass, but also cut in, pass and shoot, although fusile is also very good Excellent full back, but still can't keep up with the rhythm of DiMaria. Meleres assists in defense, DiMaria cuts in and plays in the middle left by meleres, while Rodriguez's back defense doesn't help. Porto's left wing is basically paralyzed.
After less than 10 minutes in the second half, DiMaria made a cross to help Cardoso get through Porto.
Then Porto launched a counterattack, but their left side was firmly suppressed by DiMaria, Rodriguez was isolated in front, and they had to rely on hurk, sapluna and Gao Xiaodong from the right side to attack.
Benfica's strength is very strong, Suazo's speed is amazing, Aimar's dribbling and passing is good, Gao Xiaodong does not dare to leave his position too much, he is the back waist, the first thing to do is to defend well, so he can only insert the long-range shot and run back quickly after shooting.
However, with more and more long-range shots from Gao Xiaodong, the opponent's defense of his long-range shots is more and more strict, and there are people coming forward to interfere at any time.
Although Gao Xiaodong still has a chance to start, he can't be as well prepared as before.
The interference of the opponent, the goalkeeper's concentration and Gao Xiaodong's inability to make full use of his strength greatly reduced Gao Xiaodong's long-range shooting power. In the first half, he failed to score three long-range shots, and in the second half, he failed to score three times, which made Argentina's players dissatisfied.
Lu Qiao, who just scored, said to Gao Xiaodong: "don't shoot in waves, pass more."
Gaoxiaodong see long-range shot failure, also ready to make a change, but Lu Qiao said face to face, gaoxiaodong or unhappy, said: "in the first two games, why don't you say I wave shot, do your work well."
"I have to do a good job," Lucio said
Gao Xiaodong said: "I have to work well."
"It's two less words. Time is running out." Alves saw that they were going to quarrel, so he came quickly to separate them.
In the following match, Gao Xiaodong reduced his shooting and tried to pass the ball after inserting it.
However, the pace of the national derby is very fast, and the confrontation is very fierce. Gao Xiaodong can withstand the fierce confrontation, but his passing and catching skills still can't keep up, and there are many mistakes in passing. However, Gao Xiaodong can run, and most of the mistakes are destroyed by his fast closing and chasing back, which makes team leader Lu Qiao unable to criticize.
Right attack is not smooth, left is suppressed, can only rely on the middle of Lucio and Lisandro, but Benfica prepared very well today, the middle of Lucio and Lisandro's defense is very targeted, Lucio scored a goal, and then was marked to death, behind the time is mediocre.
In the 65th minute, DiMaria finally scored. After he cut inside, he passed two people in a row and volleyed well in the front of the restricted area, making the score 2-1In 68 minutes, Ferreira made a substitution adjustment, replacing Rodriguez and Fernando, letting Fernando play in the back and pushing Gao Xiaodong to the left wing position.
This is a new change. Gao Xiaodong has never played left front before. The effect of this change is similar to that of DiMaria. Standing on the left front, Gao Xiaodong no longer needs to pass and receive the ball. He just needs to pass the ball to the penalty area or steal a shot.
There are two strong wingers on both sides, and the speed of the two wingers is also very fast, which makes Benfica's flank defense very tight, especially Gao Xiaodong's ability to defend on the left is much better than Rodriguez's. after he retreats, he is like a full back on the sideline and a back waist in the middle. His excellent sense of position and strong body make Gao Xiaodong's defense easier DiMaria was soon restrained by Gao Xiaodong and Fu Xilai.
80 minutes later, Porto's two flanks became active and took the initiative again. In the 83rd minute, Gao Xiaodong and Fu Xilai cooperated on the flanks. Gao Xiaodong forced the bottom pass and Lisandro managed to score 2-2.
In the 90th minute, Benfica made a big attack. Gao Xiaodong grabbed some sticky ball from the side to get DiMaria. He made a high-speed breakthrough along the blank side, dodged the rash tackle of Martins in the middle and killed to the side of the restricted area. At this time, Lisandro was in the front. As long as Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, Lisandro went to the meeting alone.
"Give it to me! Pass it on to me
Lisandro raised his hand for the ball, but he was uneasy. Although his position was the best, Gao Xiaodong also had the chance to shoot. Because of Gao Xiaodong's relationship with Argentina, Lisandro worried that Gao Xiaodong would work alone.
However, in full view of the public, how could Gao Xiaodong do such a stupid thing? He did not hesitate to cross the ball to the front of the penalty area and gave Lisandro the chance to go to the meeting alone.
Lisandro didn't waste Gao Xiaodong's pass. He broke Benfica goalkeeper quem's ten fingers with a single volley and changed the score to 3-2.
Benfica made a crazy counterattack in three minutes of stoppage time, but the back midfield composed of Fernando and meleres performed well, blocking Benfica's attack wave after wave, and finally Porto defeated Benfica away from home.
