Mallorca's players are full of momentum. After gaining the advantage in the midfield, their offense began to become more and more crazy - this is the feature that Jose injected into Mallorca when he officially started coaching Mallorca, that is, offense, continuous attack, and attack to win everything. After winning the league and Champions League championships last season with offense, this feature has entered the bones of Mallorca players!

Even Jose himself is difficult to reverse this situation - this situation was created by him, and it is so powerful that Jose cannot change this style. It is not impossible to change it, but it will cause the performance to decline. The wise head coach will continue to use the current tactics when the players are in good condition until the team's performance slowly declines and seems inappropriate before using another better tactic through blood exchange - this is also the only way to make the performance better.

Jose had thought about strengthening defense and increasing the number of defenders to make Mallorca's playing style more stable, but the facts proved that doing so would reduce the results. So to a certain extent, Jose also compromised with reality. He would not let these players not get results when they were at their peak. In this case, messing around would have a huge impact on the entire team.

So now Mallorca's crazy attack, Jose can only let them continue to attack - he also likes to do this, tearing the opponent's defense with a devastating attack. Although he often concedes the ball, in most cases, they can always score more goals than the opponent!

It is precisely because of these factors that Jose thought that Mourinho deliberately retreated and led the snake out of the hole, but in this case, the players who had already attacked were able to recycle them, which would easily dampen their morale. Even if Jose's prestige is high enough to make them retreat willingly, it is not without danger to do so. First of all, Mallorca only leads one ball, and this advantage is nothing. Even if he retreats to defend, he may be equalized by the opponent. Secondly, it is easy to retract, but it is difficult to play out. Porto did not fall too much in the first half of the confrontation with Mallorca, and it is very difficult to gain their advantage.

Jose’s most natural idea is - do you want to lead the snake out of the hole? Then I will press it up and expand the leading advantage again before you counterattack! If you break the goal first, I will basically win this game. Even if you are lucky enough to score a goal with the counterattack, it will be just a draw! I can afford to bet! Both sides have similar opportunities. If I win, I can win two goals. If you win, you can only equalize the score. This is the difference between us. I have a bet, but you don’t!

Last time I was in the casino, you had enough capital and I took a risk, but this time the situation was just the opposite!

What made Jose even more confident was that he had already told Mallorca's players all the situations during the break, including the possibility of being counterattacked by the opponent to equalize the score - even if this happens, the players will not be affected too much. As long as the players' emotions do not fluctuate, the possibility of winning the game next is still extremely high!

Just like at the gambling table, you already have 15,000 chips, and the other party has only 5,000 left. Now the other party is betting on you in a shop. Even if you lose, it will be just a draw. If you win, you can clear the other party - what's there to be afraid to bet on? After all, the other party pays everything, and you only give a part of it! What's more, the cards in your hand may not necessarily lose!

Jose is also a gambler with a lot of gambling. In this case, he only has one choice, that is, bet! Should Mallorca score first or Porto win the score first...

Etoola reached the right and then received a pass from Beletti. Facing Valente who was rushing to defend, Etoo slowly controlled two balls, leaned his body to the outside line, and then quickly dunked the ball towards the bottom line and broke through!

His first move was quite fast, and no defender could react immediately. Valente was no exception. After being flashed by Etoo's first move, Etoo took the lead. He began to drive the ball to the bottom line. Valente quickly turned around and chased from behind. Etoo controlled the ball near the bottom line, and then followed the ball horizontally and broke into the penalty area!

Valente, who had been left behind by Etoo, dared not foul. He could only keep interfering with Etoo behind him. Drogba and Kaka in the middle were following up at the same time. When he was about to break through to the place close to the small penalty area line, Etoo decisively passed the ball!

Baia attacked and threw the ball before Drogba grabbed the point. The ball flew directly to the back point. Ram, who assisted forward, rushed into the penalty area and shot in a small angle against the rolling ball!

Amid the exclamation of Porto fans, the ball was above the crossbar - under Ferreira's press, Ram's shot failed to hit the front and directly hit the ball high.

However, this attack was enough to make Baiya sweat. If Ferrera had not filled the position in time, Ram would have just controlled the ball slightly, even if the angle was small, he would have just aimed slightly at his right foot and the ball would not be able to run away!

Ram waved his hand and felt quite regretful - this was his first time playing in a competition like the Champions League final. If he could score a goal, it would have quite positive significance for him!

"It's okay, keep attacking, there will be a chance to score a goal!" Jose slapped his hands on the sidelines and shouted. Mourinho listened from a distance, turned his head to look at Jose, and before Jose's eyes swept over, he quickly turned his head over.

"Let's take a look now. Is it your players who will expand their lead first, or will we counterattack and score goals first!"

Mourinho didn't know that this was actually an unfair gambling. After all, if he won a bet, it would be a draw. However, as long as it was a draw, there would be a fight next. At the same time, he also believed that it would be a considerable blow to the psychology of Mallorca players. Being equalized with two goals leads will not just make their mentality the same as when the game was just beginning - if you make a million in business and then lose this million, will you still be as calm as when you started doing business? This is human nature...

Baia drove the ball from a distance, and the ball flew into the center circle, and was rushed to the center circle by Mathias and pushed the ball down. In the high-altitude ball competition in the backcourt, Mallorca has an absolute advantage. Porto's two forwards are average in height and cannot be compared with Mallorca's two tall central defenders.

The ball that was pushed down landed at Alonso's feet, and Mallorca continued to attack.

"Mallorca launched an attack again... After the start of the second half, they still had the advantage on the court and kept suppressing Porto with offense! Porto has now started to recover. Their defense is quite good and did not allow Mallorca to continue to score goals. However, it would be bad for them to continue like this. After all, they are still one goal behind. Could it be that Mourinho is thinking of letting Mallorca's physical fitness decrease before launching a counterattack? This is not impossible, after all, they are only one goal behind..."

Faced with the current unreasonable situation, the commentators were also a little at a loss because the current situation was different from the usual game. The leading side was constantly attacking, while the lagging side instead launched a defense, making their comments and analysis unable to proceed smoothly, so they could only communicate about the situation on the field...

"Alonso got the ball...divided the side...Beletti inserted... He began to force a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Kaka, and Kaka shot from a long shot! Baiya flew over and saved the ball from the baseline, and Mallorca won the third corner kick in the second half!"

Jose looked at the watch and it was now the 70th minute of the game. In the 20-minute period in the second half, Mallorca's advantage was still quite large, but he was always unable to expand his lead. If Jose had already planned to slow down the pace and use skills to consume the rest of his time. There was no need to continue to attack hard, and winning a goal is also a win.

Alonso stood in front of the ball, Mallorca's Mattias came forward to assist, while Nadal stayed behind to defend.

Alonso took a corner kick, and the ball flew straight to the back point. Drogba jumped and planned to compete for the top, but Carvalho took the lead and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Maniche got the ball in front of Dakot, and then immediately passed it straight!

When Mallorca was preparing to take a corner kick just now, none of the three players in Porto's frontcourt returned to defense, and only Nadal Beletti and Senna remained in the backcourt to defend!

Porto's counterattack!

Deco received a pass from Maniche directly near the center circle. Delray and Alinichev in front of him immediately started running and attracted the attention of other defenders of Mallorca. Seeing Senna pushing up from the backcourt, Deco made a beautiful pass. While receiving the ball, he stretched out his feet and easily rubbed the ball backwards, lifted the ball directly from Senna's crotch, and then quickly turned around!

Deco is a Brazilian player who is very close to European football. His style of play is as simple as his appearance and rarely uses such fancy extraordinary movements. Senna did not expect this situation and was directly broken through by Deco!

This is the first effective breakthrough in Deco's entire game!

Senna was caught off guard and was broken through by Deco, but his reaction was quick, and he immediately turned around and chased after him. However, although Deco was not very fast, he was definitely not slow. Since he had already left Senna behind, it was not easy to catch up with him...

While Deco dribbled the ball, Mallorca's players were also quickly returning to defense, but it seemed that they could not be able to return to defense easily. Porto's counterattack was also as fast as lightning!

After dribbing the ball into the 30-meter area, Delre's running had attracted Beletti to the right. Nadal was forced to throw Alinichev to defend Deko. Deko quickly shot the ball in the run and passed the ball to Alinichev. After Alinichev received the ball, he broke into the penalty area and passed it back before Nadal came to block it...

Deko, who inserted into the penalty area, received a return pass from Alinichev, adjusted it slightly, took the ball forward one step, and then started the game!

The ball flew into Mallorca's goal! The powerful shot from the penalty area was futile! Cameni's save also became futile!

Mourinho on the sidelines suddenly opened his arms and jumped up, and the Porto fans in the stands also cheered loudly!
