Perfect Center

Chapter 166 Yellow Card! Positional Advantage!
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"Dortmund's formation is 4-3-3!!"

"Goalkeeper: Burki!"

"Defenders: Schmelzer, Hummels, Papastathopoulos, Piszczek!"

"Midfield: Shinji Kagawa, Weigl, Sahin!"

"Forwards: Reus, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[I feel that this formation's offensive firepower is still very strong! ]
-
[It shouldn’t be a problem to win against Porto! 】
-
[The level of the teams in this year's Europa League is very high, including Liverpool, Manchester United and the Europa League champion Sevilla! ]
-
[Porto's style of play is quite simple, but their defense is a bit messy! ]

"Porto's formation is also 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Casillas!"

"Defenders: Kurt, Indy, Layun, Varela!"

"Midfielders: Sergio Oliveira, Hector Herrera, Ruben Neves!"

"Forwards: Marega, Aboubakar, Brahimi!"

"Real Madrid's goalkeeper, Casillas, joined Porto as a free agent in the summer window of 15, and he continues to be in a very hot state in the Portuguese Super League!"

"I believe Casillas is also the first goalkeeper that many fans know. He rejected Robben's one-on-one chance in the 10 World Cup and amazed the world! He continued the Spanish dynasty in the 12 European Cup and brought the team to the top! And just last year, he shed tears and said goodbye to his white home after 26 years!"

"Joining the Portuguese giants Porto, joining this strong team that basically plays in the Champions League every year, also means that Casillas' transfer is definitely not for retirement!"

"Let's look forward to what kind of performance Casillas will give us in this game!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[Casillas is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world! ]
-
[It’s strong, but Dortmund’s fierce firepower in this game is hard to stop! ]
-
[I think De Gea at Manchester United can take over from Casillas, he is performing very well! ]

Beep!
With the referee's whistle, the Europa League match officially begins!
The game just started.

Porto, playing away from home, launched a crazy attack. It was obvious that under the arrangement of head coach Peseiro, they wanted to get off to a good start and launch a threatening attack.

"Porto showed a crazy offensive at the start!

"Under Peseiro's coaching, Porto's offense is also very good. They are third in the Portuguese Super League in terms of goals scored and tied for second in terms of goals conceded!

"Their offense was very concise!"

"Brahimi's high-speed advancement on the wing! His ability to dribble past opponents is still very strong! He is among the best in the Portuguese Super League!"

"Pass it to Abubakar who is running in!"

“Shahin’s positioning is very experienced and he immediately went towards Abubakar!”

Brahimi dribbled the ball across the center circle, reached the 40-meter area, and passed the ball to Abubakar.

The moment Abubakar received the ball, Shahin pressed straight towards him.

There was no exciting center of gravity game, and Abubakar's dribbling skills were obviously not as good as his teammate Brahimi. He wanted to pull the ball and change direction to break through.

But the experienced Shahin obviously won't give him this opportunity.

As Abubakar pulled the ball poorly, Shahin seized the opportunity, leaned forward, and poked the ball directly away from Abubakar's feet. "Abubakar's ball control skills are not very good!"

"Shahin grabbed the ball with ease!"

When Sahin was about to pass the ball forward, the Cameroon international became ruthless and secretly hit Sahin's waist with his elbow.

"what!"

Before the football left Shahin's feet, he screamed in pain and fell to the grass.

Beep! ! !
The referee blew the whistle without a doubt, and Abubakar's elbow was raised to the sky. It was difficult for him not to see this vicious foul.

"I'm going to get a card for sure this time!"

"What's wrong with Abubakar? This action is too reckless! It's like he didn't even think it through! It's like a beauty without a brain!"

"Sahin was knocked to the ground by his elbow. He looked very painful! Dortmund fans also shouted deafening curses at Abubakar!"

"The Cameroon striker looked innocent. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't! From the slow-motion replay at the scene, it was a completely retaliatory foul out of frustration!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[I am dying of laughter! He wants to get away with this foul? This move is too obvious! It's like he is possessed by the Black Mamba! ]
-
[Porto committed a lot of fouls in the league, especially Aboubakar, who committed the most fouls in several games in a row! He didn't get many cards.]
-
[On the other side, Dortmund formed a sharp contrast with him. This season, it was this yellow and black team that committed the fewest fouls! ]
-
[Xia Han seems to have committed very few fouls. I don't remember any fouls.]
-
[The above poster, you forgot a game, the one against Hertha Berlin, the referee faced a penalty kick situation, but he didn't give a penalty kick, instead he gave Xia Han a yellow card haha! ]

Players from both teams quickly rushed to the scene. Abubakar stood next to Shahin, made an innocent expression on his face and spread his hands to indicate that he did not mean it.

The referee ignored his explanation and immediately took out a yellow card from his pocket and showed it to Abubakar.

Sahin, who fell on the grass, was pulled up by his teammates. He shook his head and indicated that he was fine, just a little painful.

Command area.

Porto's head coach Peseiro had a gloomy face and stared at Abubakar on the field in silence.

"How stupid! Did you listen to my tactical arrangements before the game?!"

"As the attacking team committed a foul and got a yellow card at the beginning of the game, it's meaningless! Instead, it wasted our attacking opportunities. Now it's Dortmund's turn to attack! Idiot!!!"

The ball changes, Dortmund's offensive phase.

According to the previous arrangements made by Tuchel and the coaching staff, the progress on both fronts was very smooth.

"Royce drives straight in from the wing!"

"It's very fast! Porto's defensive players surrounded them immediately!"

"One defensive player won't do! Royce's offensive attributes are very strong. He can easily seize the opportunity in a one-on-one situation and create threatening offensive opportunities!"

"Dortmund's offensive players all have positional advantages! Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang and Reus can beat Porto's defensive players in one-on-one battles!"

The Rocket looked calmly at Herrera and Ruben Neves who were pressing towards him.

He easily changed direction and broke through Herrera's blockade. Then he used his skills to shift Neves' center of gravity with continuous feints, and sped up to rush directly to the outside of the penalty area!
