Midfielder.

Chapter 111 You are not yet champions
Lin Yi's words after the game were already on the headlines of the newspaper like a letter of challenge, but this little guy didn't care what trouble this sentence would cause him, he even asked Spanish reporters When it was time, it was still that indifferent attitude that could piss people off.

"It's just an ordinary Champions League group match. I don't know why you are so nervous. Are you afraid of possible failure?"

Lin Yi mercilessly recruited Spanish journalists into the army. At this time, he would not talk about gentlemanly demeanor to the opponent's mouthpiece. Anyway, these people didn't intend to say anything good by themselves. He didn't care about adding fuel to the fire. Anyway, this This kind of war of words, he will not let the other party take advantage of it.

As for how these people will understand what I said, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, the Porto team will visit the Bernabeu in two weeks.

At that time, let everything on the field prove who is the winner of Group F. It is better to do less things like bickering with a group of keyboard players.

However, before going to the Bernabeu for a date, the Porto team still has two league games and a cup match to be done, and there is also a head-to-head confrontation with Sporting Lisbon. People don't want accidents to happen.

Those radical Porto fans are clamoring that they want the team to go to Spain to be conquerors with [-] league victories and the League Cup semi-finals. They want the whole of Europe to see Porto The madness of the team and the fanaticism of the fans are also affecting the team.

Although Mourinho doesn't particularly care about maintaining an unbeaten record in the league, or winning the championship with all victories, there is nothing wrong with being able to stabilize the advantage in the league standings as much as possible before the start of the Champions League knockout round. When the knockout round starts, he must let the team Focus on the European war.

The task of three games in two weeks is not a difficult task for the current Porto team. The extensive rehabilitation of the injured has provided the Porto team with enough candidates, and they can fully cope with the schedule that has begun to become dense.

Reasonable rotation, fully tap the internal potential of the team, Mourinho has turned Porto into the real overlord of the Portuguese Super League, and now the only ones who can stop them are themselves. There is no one in the Portuguese Super League now Can really rely on strength to defeat them.

All the Portuguese sports newspapers are hyping up the achievements of the Porto team so far, praise, flattery, all kinds of reports have completely surrounded Porto, flowers, beauties, applause, cheers, these things have already rushed to these players without any scruples.

In particular, Lin Yi has become the darling of the media, not only because of his counterattacks against Spanish reporters, but also because this little guy has become the key to the Porto team's victory. As long as he is on the field, the team will definitely win. Take down the opponent.

Now there is no one who attracts the attention of others more than him. Not only are the names of those big-name clubs associated with him, but even the Portuguese national team has begun to get close to him. It has increased several times.

Even if Ronaldo has gradually gained a foothold in Manchester United, and his outstanding performance is no worse than those of his predecessors in Portugal, his current reputation in Portugal cannot hold back Lin Yi's rapid rise to fame. , Lin Yi has become Portugal's hottest hope.

No matter how calm Lin Yi was, he was only a 16-year-old kid, and the continuous bombardment of information still made him a little dizzy.

When Portugal is about to usher in the European Cup, they really need a good performance at the club level. At the time when Sporting Lisbon and Benfica have fallen one after another, Porto's strong performance is undoubtedly what they are most looking forward to. They also seem to be just icing on the cake.

It can be said that the media treatment that the Porto team has suffered has never been done before, including Lisbon himself who began to tout the Porto team's game.

This is a sound of praise, and now no one can calmly analyze the future for Porto. There are only praises around them.

"The pride of the Portuguese club", "No.1 in the Portuguese Super League", "We want to relive the madness of 1987", these bigger and bigger hats began to overwhelm the Porto players, and now no one is anymore Doubt the strength of these guys.

However, this way of excessive media exaggeration also made these Porto players start to become smug, which is a very dangerous signal.

Three days later in the Portuguese Super League, Mourinho encountered this big trouble. When facing away from Amadora, which was at the bottom of the league, Porto encountered the most tenacious resistance since the beginning of the league. They even once At an absolute disadvantage on the field.

This is an inconspicuous opponent, a game that was characterized by the media as a massacre before the start. It seems that the victory of the Porto people is a matter of course, but many people forget that there has never been an imperial victory on the football field Or, if you want to win, you have to give everything you have.

No matter who it is, as long as you start to relax yourself in the game, the opponent will usher in a relentless blow, and the Porto team is no exception.

The frequent victories made Porto relax their vigilance and their body. The undefeated record in the Champions League made everyone think that they are already superstars. What they care more about now is not whether they score goals, but whether their hairstyle Because scrambling has become ugly.

Everyone seems to have forgotten how to compete with their opponents, as if those opponents in the Portuguese Super League can be dealt with casually.

When facing the Amadora team, this emotion has spread to the field. An opponent with the lowest points is no longer valued by them.

There was no sense of tension. Although the Porto team suppressed their opponents after the start, they lacked a sharp feeling. The game was more like a show.

They rely more on skills to deal with their opponents. In the first 15 minutes of the game, the two cooperations between Lin Yi and McCarthy at the front of the penalty area were all completed with their heels. This was not because of the opponent's tight marking, but It's these two guys who think this way is pretty enough.

But this is not the Dragon Stadium. What they received for their performance was not the cheers and applause of tens of thousands of fans, but huge boos and endless abuse.

This pursuit of gorgeousness does not only appear in the frontcourt of the Porto team. Even Costinha and Carvalho, who have always been prudent, played tricks on the opponent's striker in the defensive position, and more than once, even After being cut off, they are still continuing the game.

The Porto team, which has always attached great importance to the overall formation of their defense, began to actively push the defense forward. Costinha's position has even stood in the opponent's half. A deadly gap to take advantage of.

Although Mourinho has already reminded his defenders with his voice on the sidelines, this senseless siege is still going on, but they have not been able to use this compulsive style of play to break the deadlock on the field. The opponent's counterattack is threatening the goal guarded by Baia.

If it weren't for the opponent's striker's poor ability to seize opportunities, the Porto team might have lost completely, but what the Porto team's pride aroused was the opponent's fierce counterattack. No one can show mercy when they are despised. Lin Yi also He paid the price for his playfulness.

Throughout the first half, he had been overturned by his opponent several times in a row because of excessive dribbling, and each time was so vicious. Although the referee showed a yellow card to warn the opponent, this situation still continued , Porto team is also the first time in the league has been treated like this.

But the Porto team did not find fault with themselves, but vented this complaint to the referee. McCarthy was even shown a yellow card as a warning because of the quarrel with the referee. There was no change in the score, but the mood of the Porto team Already started to get irritable.

They failed to score the opponent's goal until the halftime break, and the chances they appeared on the field were wasted time and time again, but no one cares about these. They think that as long as they want to win the game, maybe it only takes a few minutes. The score on the screen will be overwritten because they are Porto.

They can even draw with Real Madrid, they can go unbeaten in the Champions League, it's just a normal Portuguese Super League, no big deal.

But when they returned to the locker room and saw Mourinho's face, these guys suddenly realized that they seemed to be in trouble. Even Lin Yi and McCarthy, who always liked to joke, shut up consciously, and the atmosphere in the locker room changed. It was even a little depressed for a moment, but no one dared to speak at this moment.

Mourinho may have made his face so ugly for the first time this season. He closed the door of the dressing room without a word. On the blackboard in the locker room.

"Arrogance! Proud! Arrogance is sickening! The last 45 minutes I've only seen this poor performance from you guys, the winning streak in the Champions League has gone to your heads, you forgot How to respect your opponent on the field!"

"No matter who you are, you think you can be the focus of others on the field! Unnecessary mistakes, too much dribbling, you all forget what you should do on the field! All I see is performance! No game! I only I want to tell you that this is not a game, this is professional football!"

Mourinho's sudden roar resounded throughout the locker room, and his roar made all Porto's players bow their heads. As the guy said, the entire Porto team was sleepwalking an hour before the game, including Lin Yi even forgot his responsibilities on the field.

More often than not, they no longer put their opponents on the same level as themselves, and the game has been turned into a football game of cat and mouse by them.

But this time, they themselves have become rats, and their opponents have become hunters. Their arrogance and arrogance have gotten them into trouble. The rhythm of the game has lost control. Mourinho's anger has also made these guys understand themselves What did they do on the field.

"Don't forget! Just because you got out of the group stage, it doesn't mean you have lifted the European Champions Cup! You are stars in Porto, but in world football, you are just a group of rookies. Before you became champions, you already had the disease of pride!"

"If anyone still thinks he is a superstar, then please trouble him to change into his brand-name clothes now and get out of the dressing room immediately!"

After Mourinho said this, he didn't pay attention to these guys at all. He opened the door of the locker room and walked out without saying a word, leaving only a room full of bewildered players, including Lin Yi. At this time, he was also a little dazed, it was the first time he saw that uncle so furious.

When Mourinho got angry just now, his cold eyes still swept across Lin Yi's face. It could be seen that the uncle's anger was also directed at him. Now Lin Yi felt a little feverish on his face. The game itself is a bit too much, and that is not the attitude that the game should have.

"We..." Costinia and Jorge Costa seemed to want to say something, but the closed door made them speechless.

"Forget it, Jose, they only lost their cool heads because of the media's touting." Brito, who was chasing out, grabbed Mourinho and said.

"I don't want my team to be defeated by pride, it's a shameful way to lose, especially that kid Lin Yi, I have to warn him in a stern way, too many talents are ruined by this In the endless pursuit, I don't want him to be next."

Mourinho's serious attitude made Brito unable to refute. He could only let his partner try to calm down as much as possible, after all, there was still half of the game.

"Give them 15 minutes. If the situation doesn't improve in the second half, then I don't mind freezing a few people in the next game. Losing in Portugal is better than throwing people elsewhere.", Mourinho can Accept failure, but not be defeated by yourself.

The home fans may also be the first to see someone who has only stayed in the dressing room for less than 5 minutes before returning to the coaching bench, but those sensitive reporters can find that Mourinho's expression looks a bit unnerving. Feeling very cold.

No one knows what happened in the dressing room of the Porto team, but it will definitely not be a very harmonious and friendly scene. Just look at the black face of Mourinho. Those unlucky guys, at least It was repaired after being scolded.

After the intermission, the home fans who were still clamoring were still shouting frantically, Amadora will win!Get rid of Porto!
But after a few minutes, they found that those Porto people who were leisurely in the first half began to become fierce, especially the black-haired kid. His first touch after the start of the second half directly pierced Amado The back line of the cheerleaders.

With a fierce shovel, the Porto team's first offensive opportunity was almost made by Lin Yi with his small body. The opponent's 1.8-meter-long midfielder was directly intercepted by him with a shovel from the side. When the ball was under his feet, the kid turned around and pulled the ball to pass the ball, and there was an opening to pass the ball.

It's just that McCarthy's shot blasted to the outside of the goalpost, but the muffled sound seemed to be a signal to charge, which drove Porto's crazy attack.

In 10 minutes, seven shots, three direct free kicks, and four corner kicks, the siege of the Porto team reached a peak at the beginning of the second half. They continuously used passes and interspersed to mobilize everyone on the field. The penetrating attack began to frequently threaten the opponent's goal.

Lin Yi not only started to pass the ball again and again in the position of the attacking midfielder, but his two shots also made the fans of the Amadora team break out in a cold sweat.

Although the Porto team has not been able to rewrite the score, the control of the game has returned to their hands, but Lin Yi secretly glanced at the uncle on the coach's bench during the game, and his dead face was still tense It was very serious, which made Lin Yi a little nervous all the time.

The ferocious suppression forced Amadora to retreat to their own half. This crowded half was full of at least [-] or [-] guys. The shrinking available space prevented Porto's offense from hitting Open the opponent's door.

It's just that Mourinho didn't make any adjustments to the situation. He didn't even stand on the sidelines as usual. He just sat on the coach's bench without saying a word. This may be his first time. Be so silent during a match once.

God finally hasn't abandoned the Porto guys. In the 85th minute of the game, Dalley's kick kicked back, and Lin Yi volleyed head-on in the middle, although the football failed to go in directly. , but it hit the opponent's defender and refracted.

A very lucky goal that allowed Porto to take a 15th league win and three points from their opponents' territory, but the next day's training session, this group of Porto guys, everyone was better than usual I practiced for two more hours, and I was able to fight with real knives and guns.

Especially Lin Yi, he very consciously took the initiative to increase the volume during extra training. This time he didn't say a word of nonsense, and obediently followed Faria to do everything.

But Mourinho didn't intend to let this matter end like this. He made a substantial rotation in the second game against Wazim.

Lin Yi, McCarthy, Dalley, and Costinia all sat on the bench, and could only watch helplessly as the second-line substitutes killed their opponents with a score of 2:0, while they themselves, in 1 minute Didn't get any playing time.

"They don't play as freely as you, but they understand what they are doing on the field. If I find that you are still repeating the mistakes of the last game in the next game, then you will always sit on the bench!" Mourinho's warning In exchange, this group of guys nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Appropriate warnings can calm down this group of hot-headed guys. Mourinho doesn't want to let himself fall into this kind of passivity when he faces Real Madrid in an away game.

But this time Mourinho's iron fist, after all, brought this group of high-spirited guys back to the real world, and the Porto team returned to the most normal state, and the praise from the outside world began to be left behind by them.

Three days later, in Lisbon, this group of fierce guys sealed the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup with 2:0, without repeating the previous mistake.

A week later, on the plane to Madrid, a group of wolves and tigers were gearing up to fight their opponents.

(Tomorrow will probably be another update, and the day after tomorrow there will be more updates...Shen Si, Qi Hong, Jiang Jin, when these guys were investigated one by one, I really don't know what happened to the match that I saw in Wulihe in 2001 Is Oman’s game real? The joy at the beginning is now discounted... Those people who carnivaled together at that time, I really don’t know what kind of mood you will feel when you see this scene... I’m a little confused... )
