185 Soldiers come to block the water and cover the soil

The weather is not good. Monaco has more than 00 days in a year, with plenty of sunshine, but it started to rain lightly in the evening in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

Under the drizzle, Louis II's stadium was as enthusiastic as fire. Situ Yunbing and Ferreira shook hands before the game. Originally, encounters in Europe were a low probability event for many teams. Situ Yunbing and Ferreira were strangers, but when they met on the field, they respect each other from the heart. Respecting their opponents was also self-respect and the most basic attitude towards this job.

After this confrontation, regardless of victory or defeat, Monaco and Porto are likely to end in the short term. If you want to meet again in this season's knockout match, you will have weak hope unless Chelsea loses to Atletico Madrid today.

The players of the two teams walked into the Louis II Stadium with a resolute expression. The fans in the stands immediately gave deafening cheers.

"Good evening, everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Today we will live comment on the match between Monaco and Porto at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco. In the last round of the confrontation, Porto lost to Monaco at home. Now Monaco is leading Porto points in the group standings. It can be said that if Monaco can beat Porto at home today and Chelsea is not losing to Atletico Madrid, then Monaco will advance to the top 16 of the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule, because Monaco will lead Porto by 6 points. Even if Monaco loses in the last two rounds, Porto wins all, and the two teams have the same points, but because Monaco has an advantage in terms of the record of playing against the two teams, Monaco will still beat Porto to advance to the top 16.

So this game is a life-and-death battle for Porto. They not only cannot lose, but also must win, because even if it is a draw, Monaco only needs to win one victory in the last two rounds, or Porto cannot win in both rounds, Monaco only needs one draw to advance to the top 16.

The situation sounds a bit complicated, but it is actually very simple. Porto must score points away today!

But Monaco, which set a one-game winning streak in Ligue 1, may not give them such a chance.

Let's take a look at the lineup of the two teams.

Monaco 4

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonheng, Moreau.

Midfielder: Perez, Nkuru, Matic.

Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Since the new season, Monaco's offensive trident has started high and ended high. First, Suarez and Falcao provoked a large number of attacks. In the past month, Garez Bale has ushered in a big explosion, making Monaco's Trident the number one attack combination among the top five major European football leagues.

Porto today 442

Goalkeeper: Hulton.

Defenders: Sapnaru, Alves, Rolando, Perea.

Midfielder: Berluschi, Fernando, Merreles, Rodriguez.

Forward: Hulk, Farias.

The lineup arranged by Ferreira today is somewhat surprising. Italian midfielder Berluschi served as the right forward, Argentine striker Farias entered the lineup, and Romanian international Sapnaru was activated at the right back position.

In such a life-and-death battle, Porto's formation and offensiveness were obvious at a glance, and they were at least more active than at home.

Okay, the pre-match kickoff ceremony has ended, let’s wait and see who will win in this game!”

The European battle has made Situ Yunbing focus unprecedentedly, because if he leads the team to play in Ligue 1 for a long time, the team styles they encounter are too homogeneous. The team styles in the same league are very similar. However, not to mention the opponents in the European battle, they have a strong foundation for hard power. The coach's coaching style, team style, and skills are obvious.

Such a confrontation will make Situ Yunbing look forward to it, and at the same time be alert.

I was afraid of being beaten by my opponent and turned to myself and was confused and didn't know the reason.

Even though Ferreira has nothing to do with her resume, it is always right to be cautious.

When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Porto took the lead in kicking off.

The midfield and backcourt passed the ball, and passed the ball from the wing. Before entering the offensive dangerous area just after halftime, Rodriguez made a cross!

This made Situ Yunbing frown. Will the effect be good if this passes?

meeting!

Because Porto has a high center Hulk, who can stand on the spot when facing strong battles!

He won the confrontation with Vertonheng, took off at the front of the penalty area and headed the ball to Farias who was in the forward.

Seeing that Rias had a chance to shoot in the penalty area, he had a chance to shoot. Before the football landed, Benatia turned around and ran, then jumped and raised her legs to barely cleared the ball out of the baseline.

If he doesn't hit this kick, then the Argentinian Farias will definitely be alone!

call!

Situ Yunbing let out a long sigh. Although he was not sure about his inference yet, Porto's style of play was obviously a huge change from the last game at the Dragon Stadium.

In the 4th minute of the game, Monaco initiated a fast break in the backcourt. Moro dribbled the ball from the left and just arrived near the center line, but saw Beluski and Sapnaru hit Garez Bale in front. It seemed that Porto was clearly visible to focus on Garez Bale in defense today.

Morro gave the ball to Matic in the middle, and the latter quickly pushed forward and attacked. After attracting Merreles to defend head-on, he shortly passed the ball to Suarez's feet. The latter quickly completed the wall-to-wall cooperation with Perez under the pressure of Fernando's tight pressure. After the ball was released, he turned around and inserted forward. The straight pass sent by Perez was just controlled by Suarez in front of the penalty area. His spike changed direction but Rolando stretched out his foot to break the ball.

Porto successfully defended, Merreles passed the ball diagonally in the backcourt to the right, and Berluschi quickly advanced after halftime and then crossed the ball into Monaco's penalty area.

This time, it wasn't about looking for Hulk, but about Farias.

It seems that their style of play is somewhat similar to Monaco. They both hit the opponent's penalty area as quickly as possible in counterattacks. The difference is that Porto's offensive method is a bit similar to British rushing, just sending high-altitude balls into the opponent's penalty area, while Monaco is much more flexible and delicate, and different measures will be taken in different situations.

Because the ball was flying in the air for too long, it gave Monaco's back full adjustment time. Farias had no problem running, but Benatia took the lead and headed the ball easily.

After the minute, Porto tried to make a cross from the left again. This time, Perea assisted and passed Rodriguez's pass in half and made a 45-degree cross from the wing. Hulk inserted into the penalty area and completed the header. De Gea hugged the ball smoothly.

At this time, Situ Yunbing could basically determine what Porto was making today.

First of all, Porto learned from the previous game and paid more attention to protection of the space behind the back line to avoid being beaten by Monaco and being directly blocked behind.

Furthermore, although they had many players in the middle of the last game, their offense was ineffective and their defensive interception efficiency was not high. Today, Ferreira removed one midfielder and turned to another forward.

The advantage of doing this is that it can share the pressure of Hulk and give Hulk more room to play.

Finally, it was attacking, completely giving up the attack in the middle, which was a bit similar to Bordeaux's offensive tactics against Monaco. The difference was that Bordeaux played more delicately on the offensive end, and the players' personal skills and active running team cooperation were interspersed in Monaco's defense line to find opportunities.

Porto was a bit rougher, using Hulk as a bridgehead, Farias was more flexible and faster, but in fact, the configurations of most Premier League teams in the past decade were basically the same: double strikers, one high and one fast.

Compared to Bordeaux's physical advantages, it is natural for Porto to take advantage of Hulk's advantage of being tall and strong.

In the 12th minute of the game, Porto cleared the ball in the backcourt. When the football flew to the frontcourt, Vertonheng and Hulk jumped at the same time to compete for the header, but the two collided!

After landing, Vertonheng fell to the ground and hugged his head, while Hulk also touched his head and seemed to hurt.

Although the football was controlled by Nkuru, the referee still stopped the game and signaled that the Monaco team doctor enter the court to check the situation of Vertonheng. When a player suspected of having a head injured, the game must be suspended.

When the team doctor entered the court, Situ Yunbing called Modesto to the front of him. He simply passed the tactical instructions to Modesto, and then asked Modesto to convey them to his teammates on the court.

There is no problem with Vertonheng, but the collision just now made my head a little confused, and it really hurts!

Modesto conveyed Situ Yunbing's tactical instructions to his teammates on the court and then the game continued.

When Porto once again turned from defense to offense, he wanted to push the offense forward from the wing, but found it became a bit difficult!

Berluschi on the right just dribbled the ball and was robbed from Moro from the front!

Morro obviously stayed away from the full-back defense area, but this made Berluschi feel a little panicked. He subconsciously passed the ball across the middle to the middle, trying to give it to Merelles, but the football was cut off by Matic halfway through.

Merelles could not have expected Porto's offensive to be cut off by his opponent before halftime!

Matic intercepted the ball and pushed forward the offense even more shocked Porto's defense line.

I just finished defending a wave of attacks, but I hadn't had a rest yet and was about to encounter an opponent's attack again.

Anyone else would be a little nervous.

Matic dribbled into the 30-yard area in front of the goal, and Fernando came to block the ball head-on. At this time, Gareth Bale quickly cut in, and Matic passed the ball shortly to the left front.

Alves and Sapnaru tightened their inside defense and tried to close the goal against Gareth Bale on the left side of the penalty area, but Gareth Bale hit the ball with one shot!

Suarez, who had just entered the right side of the penalty area, faced the cross from Gareth Bale, and he used his right foot to push the ball towards the left rib of the penalty area!

The moment Gareth Bale made the ball, Alves moved to the middle of the penalty area. As a result, Bale continued to step forward after getting the ball. Suarez's pick-up pass flew over Alves' head.

When he turned back to the front area in front of the goal, Gareth Bale jumped high at the top corner of the small penalty area and shook his head and put the ball back!

Falcao followed up with the goal behind the back point in the middle to drive Rolando to follow the defense, and Alves also returned to the left side of the middle in front of the goal. Gareth Bale shook his head this time and brought the ball back. The football landing point was at the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area.

Alves and Rolando had no chance to defend themselves. The sudden stop and turn around in a short period of time were not the strength of their tall and mighty central defender.

What caught my eye was that Suarez volleyed without making adjustments to the ball!

In order to suppress the football and not fly, Suarez deliberately tilted his body and swung his legs even more, and the downward trend was significant.

When the football he shot went straight to the left of the small penalty area, Suarez himself was a little upset.

The ball looks like it's heading for Alves!

But because the ball was too fast, Alves couldn't react. The football bounced at the ground less than 20 cm at his feet and then quickly bounced up and headed straight for the lower left corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Helton rushed to the spot in a hurry, obviously beyond his reach!

The football flew directly into Porto's goal!

Suarez breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and pointed at Garez-Bell.
Chapter completed!
