Chapter 261 Saint Cassie
After winning this crucial game, Bury's road to defending the title suddenly became smooth.
And Bury also left for Porto the next day to participate in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Porto can also be regarded as a strong team in European football. It is the last UEFA Champions League team in the non-five major leagues so far.
And now in their formation, there are also a few players that Zhang Chong is very familiar with.
Among them, the most famous is the old Saint Cassie.
After his departure from Real Madrid, he spent the last of his career here.
Another thing Zhang Chong is more familiar with is their right back Dalot.
The young kid then moved to Manchester United and gradually took a place on the right side of Manchester United.
But objectively speaking, there is still a certain gap between Porto's strength and Bury, and Bury's normal performance should not be a big problem.
Of course, for Bury, the biggest disadvantage is the physical problem.
After the national team game, they had just played a fierce battle with Manchester City, and many players' stamina gauges were already empty.
Helpless, Zhang Chong could only rotate.
In this game, Burry's starting lineup is Mendy, Klaus, John Fox, Dick William, Robertson, McDermott, Madison, Chen Ming, Traore, Keane Jr., Harland.
Among the players in the midfield, except for Krause and Madison, they are all substitutes, which is a hidden danger for Bury.
After the start of the game, Porto was not conservative, but used the advantage of the home court to attack!
This is actually a correct choice. After all, if you don't take advantage of the home game to get a few more goal difference, going to the away game is really unstable.
Zhang Chong is not too polite, since most of his midfielders are rotation players, then we also start to engage in counterattacks and score more away goals!
No.15 minutes, Porto took the lead, Varys broke through from the right and crossed, and Abu Bakar in the middle scored in front of the goal!
This former monster is now also wandering in many clubs. Fortunately, he has been in excellent form recently, leading Porto to triumph in various competitions.
With this ball, at 1.8 meters, he can still grab this point in front of two central defenders who are taller than him, which shows that he is in very good physical condition.
Behind the away game, Zhang Chong did not change his strategy, but continued to ask the players to attack according to the original plan!
He firmly believes in the offensive ability of his team!
No.203 minutes, Traore broke through the opponent's left back Maxi Pereira with his personal ability, and then made a cross!
Harland in the penalty area leaped high and overwhelmed the central defender Felipe to complete the header!
It's a pity that the ball was bravely resolved by Casillas.
Although Casillas is old, he can still see the shadow of his top goalkeeper in some moments.
No. In the 208th minute, Chen Ming made a breakthrough in front of the penalty area, and then directly kicked a long shot!
The ball hit a lower left corner, the ball was extremely fast, but Casillas took a diving dive and threw the ball away!
The corner of Zhang Chong's eyes twitched, Casillas is in good condition today...
Since Casillas left Real Madrid due to problems in the locker room and his own state, Zhang Chong has paid little attention to his games.But seeing him today, Iker Casillas still has some of the style of the year.
After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and an aging superstar is also a superstar!
No.305 minutes, Burry played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt. Keane and Chen Ming made a continuous two-for-one cooperation and broke into the penalty area.
But this close shot was still blocked by Casillas with his body!
Harland looked at the old goalkeeper in disbelief, and he even wanted to reach out and touch the old goalkeeper's material.
Casillas smiled at him with a calm expression on his face.
I have seen more big scenes than you have played in games.
In the first half, Bury had far more chances than Porto, but under Casillas' brave performance, the score was still [-]-[-], and Porto took the lead!
During the intermission, Zhang Chong did not criticize the players. After all, the lagging behind the score has little to do with them. The main reason is that Casey's role is too prominent.
However, Casey is old after all, it is difficult for him to maintain a high level throughout the game.
Therefore, Zhang Chong's arrangement is still very simple, continue to attack!
After the start of the second half, Bury still threatened Porto's gate repeatedly with his powerful frontcourt attack.
But Casillas' performance was very stable, and he never allowed Bury to break through his own goal!
In 4 minutes, Traore made a pass from the right. Harland in the center was just about to grab the point, but Casillas took the first step and hit the ball over his head!
After Porto's midfielder Torres got the ball, he threw the ball directly to the frontcourt with a big kick!
Porto striker Costa had the upper hand in the fight with John Fox. After he controlled the ball, he passed an overhead ball directly into the penalty area!
And Abubakar understood it, used his speed to seize the advantage of the body, and then inserted into the penalty area!
Mendy has already attacked immediately, but Abu Bakar is faster!
He rubbed the ball lightly before Mendy, and the football changed its trajectory immediately!
And Abu Bakar also bypassed Mendy, caught up with the football, and easily scored the ball!
Two to zero!
The home fans were very excited, this goal gave them hope of advancing!
Now Zhang Chong frowned tightly.
Two to zero is a big advantage. If this score is maintained until the end, Bury will face a lot of pressure when he returns to the home court.
But [-]-[-] has become a fact, Zhang Chong had to let the players calm down, try to score a goal quickly and get a precious away goal.
However, in this game, Casillas seemed to be back to his peak state. He blocked in front of the goal and made Bury return without success every time!
At this time, Porto has also fully retreated and wants to keep this score until the end!
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
No. 703 minutes, Dick William, who had already pressed up to the midfield, suddenly slipped when he was dribbling the ball!
How could Abu Bakar on the side miss this opportunity, he quickly started and broke the ball!
And he began to accelerate all the way, forming a single sword!
At this time, there was no one within three meters of him, only John Fox behind him was desperately chasing after him!
Mendy also abandoned the goal and attacked, trying to block the angle of his shot!
But Abubakar, who was in excellent form in this game, directly chose the hanging goal!
Mendy stretched out his hand in despair, but he couldn't reach the ball at all!
He could only watch the football slowly fall into the goal!
Three to zero!
This is a score that no one expected!
At this time, the shooting ratio between the two sides was [-] to [-] for Bury, but the score was [-] to [-] behind!
