In the first half, after 10 minutes of surprise, with Porto's shrinking defense, he gradually became mediocre.
Atletico's attack is very fierce, but they can't break through the midfield defense of Porto's five men. Simao and Maxi occasionally break through on the side, but they can't form a big threat. They can't open the defense of Porto. Aguero and Fran in the middle are watching. Let alone break through, they just don't want to pass.
Forty five minutes passed quickly. The fourth official raised the flag of one minute of make-up time. The fans of both sides thought that the score in the first half would not change. Some people held it for a long time and were ready to go to the toilet. Some people cried for more than 40 minutes and drank all the water. They were hoarse and ready to buy something.
At this time, Atletico Madrid suddenly launched a fast attack on the side. Maxi broke through a hulk and went straight to fusile. Meleres quickly moved to the side to help defend.
Maxi quickly crosses the middle to find Aguero.
Fernando knows Aguero's strength, now he is close to Aguero. As soon as Aguero takes the ball, he immediately pulls Aguero's shirt. He would rather foul than let Aguero have the space to take the ball easily.
Aguero felt the pressure of the defense. He didn't take the ball, rubbed it with the instep of his foot, and it curled to Fran.
Fran was also watched, and Alves was always with him.
However, although the 30-year-old Fran is not as smart as Aguero, he is much better than the 21-year-old Aguero in getting rid of the opponent's defense.
Fran found that it was a curve ball and didn't stop. When the ball came to him, Fran turned around Alves directly.
Alves is ready to stick to Fran and not let him turn around or shoot, but his attention is on Fran. He doesn't notice the change of the curve of the ball. When Fran turns around suddenly, it's too late for him to follow Fran again, and the ball also goes around him.
It was a very clever escape, and there was a burst of cheers and applause in the stands.
Fran won't pay attention to the applause in the stands. He's past Alves, but the assistant defense players are not far away. His time of handling the ball is very short.
But that's enough for Fran to shoot.
Two steps to catch up with the ball, Fran in the right edge of the penalty area shot.
The ball was flying fast against the turf, but the angle was right. Helton leaned slightly, ready to kneel down and hold the ball in both hands.
It was a regular save, but the ball was too fast, the opponent didn't shoot much in the first half, and Holden was not excited enough. Before his action was finished, the ball hit his palm and flew into the net between his legs.
2: 1
ah!
Fran didn't expect to get in. Seeing the ball rolling into the net, he cheered and ran to the stands.
What's the goal?
Atletico Madrid fans didn't think of it at the first time. When they realized that the ball had really scored, they stood up and cheered for the stadium.
The Porto fans are silent, the Porto players are speechless. When they see the goalkeeper's defensive action, they think it's all right. They didn't expect that Helton was put through the crotch.
Helton shook his head in shame. He just became the team leader and gave a big gift to his opponent. He lost his face too much. How can he raise his head in front of his teammates in the future.
There was only one minute in stoppage time. After Porto lost the ball, the first half was over.
When he returned to the dressing room to rest, Ferreira didn't blame the players. He played very well. If it wasn't for Helton's fault, 1-1 away game would be a score to celebrate.
However, Ferreira pulled Helton aside and chatted alone for a while. Ferreira, an old coach, knew that he could not blame Helton at this time. He comforted Helton, which means that 1:2 is not too bad. There is still a chance in the second half to let him not have psychological burden and perform well in the second half.
Ferreira's heart massage is still very effective. It's easier for him to accept this way of communication for a non talented player like Helton.
After the start of the second half, Porto didn't rush to attack. As Ferreira said, 1-2 is not an unacceptable score. They still play according to the established tactics, fighting for the midfield, breaking the ball and combining the side with the middle. They fight tenaciously when they don't have the chance and boldly put in their troops when they have the chance.
Compared with Porto, Atletico Madrid, which has won the Champions League for the first time in ten years, is a bit impatient.
Coach recino was an excellent goalkeeper in his time as a player. As newspaper gave him the definition of "classic". Classic said that Abel never took part in the attack and stayed in front of the goal line for almost 90 minutes in the game.
As the head coach, recino has been the goalkeeper coach since his retirement. In the 2004-05 season, Ferrando, who believes in one-to-zero principle, coached Atletico Madrid. Recino is his assistant coach. In the 2006-07 season, recino coached Levante, who is the team with the least goals in La Liga.
After the team's 2-1 lead, recino wanted the team to defend and keep the 2-1 victory, but Aguero, Fran, Maxi, Simao and other offensive players thought that they should take the opportunity to expand the victory and strive for more goals at home. Otherwise, with Porto's fighting capacity and defensive ability today, the 2-1 score is very dangerous.If he is a senior coach who has been in charge of the team for many years, even if the players have other ideas, they will give in to the authority of the head coach. However, recino is just a fire coach who has been in charge for less than a month. How can Aguero and Fran listen to him completely.
In the second half, Atletico's thinking was not so unified. The players who followed the orders of recino and the same conservative players were less forward pressure, while the offensive players were less defensive and less deep, which brought more opportunities to Porto's attack.
In the 54th minute of the game, he suddenly pulled from the middle to the side. Meles gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who gave the ball to Greek defender setaridis from the side.
It's the first time for setaridis to play against Gao Xiaodong. He didn't take Foul Tactics and wanted to use his body to fight against Gao Xiaodong.
As soon as they got in touch with each other, setaridis found that the small Chinese player was just a small tank. His body didn't pass Gao Xiaodong and his speed was completely exploded. Gao Xiaodong threw setaridis away and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Porto's three strikers have different relations with Gao Xiaodong, but they all have confidence in him. They know that the old setaridis is hard to prevent Gao Xiaodong, and they all jump into the penalty area for the first time.
Falcao was the most closely marked, but he still got the landing point, but under the interference of uyfalusi, the ball flew out of the bottom line.
Referee Webb gave the goal.
Atletico Madrid continued to attack after serving, but the ball was blocked again in midfield. The full back did not dare to assist in the half court. Relying on midfield alone, no matter Simao or Maxi could pass the ball to Aguero and Fran.
In the middle, Raul Garcia ventured to drive the ball forward, trying to open up some space for his teammates, but Gao Xiaodong caught up with him from behind and shoveled the ball to Fernando.
Fernando's long pass, fast break to find Hulk, Hulk with the ball cut in, kill to the combination of full back and center back.
Atletico's full back and centre back quickly closed the door, trying to block Hulk in the periphery of the restricted area. Hulk did not wait for the opponent to encircle, but shot the near corner of the goal.
Atletico goalkeeper Franco is in better form than Helton, holding the ball out of the baseline with both hands.
Porto got the corner again, Gao Xiaodong and sapluna played a tactical cooperation, sapluna passed the ball into the penalty area again.
Rodriguez headed the ball to the front of the penalty area at the back point, and Meireles followed the volley and the ball flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.
Under the command and control of Gao Xiaodong, Porto's attack wave after wave, which made the front of Atletico Madrid frightening.
The applause and cheering of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands are less, and the fans are worried. Where are they in the mood to cheer.
Atletico's goalkeeper coach Luciano couldn't bear the pressure of defense. He used veteran manu to switch to Raul Garcia to strengthen the defense in midfield and try to keep the 2-1 lead.
