It was a fantastic start, better than Atletico's three minute goal at home.
Atletico is the first leg of the knockout, or the home, a goal is not safe.
Porto this is the second leg, had played 2-2, even if Atletico chase a goal, Porto can still rely on away goals and eliminate Atletico.
Coach Ferreira was relieved. He immediately came to the sideline, pressed his hands down, motioned the players to keep their rhythm steady, and then waved back to make the players contract and fight back.
Ferreira's approach is somewhat conservative, but with yesterday's lesson from REXOS, both the players and fans of Porto can understand it and just win. It's too big to take the responsibility of losing at this time.
Porto back, only just scored in front of Falcao top, Gao Xiaodong, Hulk, Rodriguez stand in the middle line, others are in their own half.
This is to set up the chariots and horses and wait for the atletians to attack.
Need to score two goals in order to advance, do not attack is a chronic suicide, recino even if more conservative, this time also have to let the players out.
The fighting capacity of Atletico Madrid is still very strong.
Atletico Madrid has Simao and Maxi, and there are Fran and Aguero who are good at grabbing points in the middle. Their main attack is on the flank. When the flank is opened, the opponents can help defend on the side. The small cooperation of Aguero in the middle, Fran and Raul Garcia can show their power.
Although Simao is 30 years old, he is still the first choice for Atletico Madrid to attack.
After the restart of the game, Simao stormed Porto's right back sapluna.
Sapluna is a rare tall full back, while Simao is only 1.7 meters. If he grabs the header, Simao can be blasted to pieces by sapluna, but when there is space, it is impossible for sapluna to prevent Simao's breakthrough.
But Porto suffered a big loss in the last game. This time Rodriguez paid attention to defense.
Rodriguez is fast, he is against Simao, Simao is difficult to get rid of.
However, in the last home game, Atletico's full back Antonio didn't dare to assist much, and this time it's time to fight hard, Antonio also assisted half-time.
Antonio Lopez is also a speed full back, with excellent free kicks. After his frequent assists, Rodriguez and sapluna also resisted his double fast combination with Simao, and Meireles had to defend to the side.
This is exactly what Atletico wants to achieve.
In the ninth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid reversed the ball several times in the side and middle. Meireles followed the ball several times in a row. After all, the ball was faster than people. When Aguero split the side again, Meireles didn't catch up. Simao and Antonio successfully played a two two pass. Antonio successfully broke through the bottom and found Fran quickly.
Porto's defense is not a decoration, Rolando followed Fran closely, and carried the Uruguayan with his body, finally forcing Fran to head high and the ball flew out of the bottom line.
"It's a good defense! Rolando's stuck! With height interference Fran, otherwise dangerous, but can't let the right side be hit through, continuous pass several such ball, don't say Rolando, even Alves can't stop
Zhang Lu expressed concern about Porto's right side defense.
Liu Jiandao: "there are few tall full backs. It seems reasonable."
Zhang Lu said: "sapluna's speed is not slow, but not too high. He has a high center of gravity and a slow turn. In fact, during the winter break, Porto bought a fast full back named sissokho, but in such a game, Ferreira dare not let him play."
After a success, Atletico Madrid found a breakthrough and continued to put in forces to attack Porto on the right.
In the 18th minute of the match, Aguero moved Porto's back Fernando to the side, while Simao pulled to the front of the penalty area.
Aguero hit his heel and passed it to Simao. Simao made a fake move to the top of the penalty area before catching the ball, then suddenly dribbled past Alves to enter the penalty area.
Alves fortunately left a heart, not full to the middle, see Simao cheated, he turned around a few steps, before Simao shot, a fork like tackle, Simao even people with the ball shoved out of the bottom line.
Alves ran too fast. He was 1.88 meters tall and did the same movements as a gymnast. When Alves wanted to get up, he found that his thigh was painful. Knowing that he was injured, he quickly lay down and made a gesture of substitution.
Porto fans in the stands were cheering for Alves' beautiful tackle when they were shocked to see that Alves didn't get up and made a substitution gesture.
The commentator exclaimed: "Alves is the mainstay of Porto's defence. His role is not inferior to that of Gao Xiaodong. If he is injured, Porto will be in great trouble. Now Atletico are attacking hard. If Alves is injured again, the situation will not be good."
Coach Ferreira heart a sink down, "team doctor team doctor! come on! Stretchers. " Ferreira's anxious words were broken.The stretcher came on and lifted Alves down. The team doctor regretfully said to Ferreira: "thigh muscle strain, at least to rest for two weeks."
Ferreira wiped the sweat on his head. He didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He was happy that the injury was not serious. He was worried about whether he could pass the race.
"Coach, who's going to play?" Emmanuel again cautioned cautiously.
Ferreira pondered for a moment, said: "only for sissokho, let sapluna play in the centre back."
"There is no captain on the field. "
Emmanuel reminded again.
Ferreira just realized, "yes, Emma, who do you want to wear the captain's armband?"
There are Gao Xiaodong and Helton on the field. Gao Xiaodong is the second deputy. However, he is too young, and Helton's ability and personality can't convince the public, which makes it difficult for Ferreira to choose.
Emmanuel said: "let's be captain of Xiaodong. If he can live in town, he's afraid he can't
Ferreira thought that the current situation was so dangerous that he could only let Gao Xiaodong be the temporary captain, so he called Gao Xiaodong to the sideline and personally put the armband of the captain on Gao Xiaodong's arm.
"Xiao Dong, you are Porto's youngest captain on the field. Now the situation is very bad. It's up to you on the field."
With that, Ferreira patted Gao Xiaodong heavily on the shoulder.
Fifty thousand people were watching Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong felt his heart beat a little faster. He didn't expect that the armband of the captain should be worn on his arm. It's a great honor. The 19-year-old captain is still a famous Porto. There are not many in the world. In an instant, Gao Xiaodong's vanity was greatly satisfied. He waved his fist at Ferreira and said: "let's go Heart! We'll make it
"Fat man is captain, fat man is captain!" Xiao Le caught the monkey's arm in surprise.
Monkey is also very happy for Gao Xiaodong, said: "did not expect Alvis injured to make Xiaodong, 19-year-old captain, the world is rare."
The commentator saw Gao Xiaodong wearing the armband of the captain and said in surprise: "the 19-year-old captain, the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League, the youngest captain in the history of Porto, and the youngest captain of the Portuguese Super League. Even in Europe, he is one of the best. Well, let's see, he is! This is one of the youngest in European football. The other two 19-year-old captains are Alonso and Sacco. Now let's see if Gao Xiaodong, who wears the armband of the captain, can surprise us? "
