Chapter 119 Lin Yi's Trouble

When the match between Porto and Real Madrid on the Iberian Peninsula came to an end, the entire schedule of the Champions League group stage also came to an end. After months of fighting, 32 teams have reached the knockout stage. Just waiting to see who his next opponent is.

Although Porto and Real Madrid played sparks in the first half, just like their second half, with no worries about qualifying, Group F has long been out of the attention of others. Compared with the desperate fight, they are a group of soy saucers.

Unlike Group F, which has been confirmed before the final round of the game, several other groups still have suspense about qualifying before the final game, including traditional giants like Inter Milan and Bayern. Everything is held in the hands of others.

Not everyone can be like the Porto team. In the case of consecutive draws in the first two games, they immediately won three games in a row. Sometimes football games also pay attention to some weird luck, such as Inter Milan. The luck in the Champions League group stage is not very good.

Not only did they suffer a big somersault in front of Arsenal, the 5:1 score was bloody, and even Moratti was furious for that fiasco. This is not the most unlucky thing for Inter Milan. Under the attack of Locomotive and Dynamo Kiev, they lost consecutive points in the away game.

In the end, whether they qualify or not depends on the faces of others. The Champions League is like this sometimes. You are a wealthy family, but there is absolutely no fear here.

No matter who you are, as long as you get in the way, you may be overturned by others at any time, especially those strong players outside the five major leagues. Anyone may cause trouble for the teams in the five major leagues, like the Porto team. Once planted the banner of the Portuguese Super League leader on the Bernabeu stadium.

Now the ambitions of the Porto people are not only raging in the group stage, they want to make the name of the "Dragon" of the Porto team resound throughout Europe.

However, the clear qualifying situation in Group F has made them less concerned, and only the unlucky Spaniards still remember the crimes that the Porto team did at the Bernabeu. More outsiders just saw a score, 3:2, Real Madrid won at home.

Maybe many people will pay the price for their carelessness, especially when the Porto team broke out as the second in the group, this kind of cover-up that is not obvious maybe only its future opponents really care, and the rest are just Treat this as a normal game.

When the final qualifying list is listed, some people are happy and others are worried. It is not uncommon at this time for the giants to lose their horses. The Champions League is always full of various possibilities. No one stipulates that only traditional giants can be sideways here. Let's go, it's normal for anyone to lose.

The eight teams that qualify as Group No.1 are: Lyon, Arsenal, Monaco, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, AC Milan.

The 2 teams that qualify as Group No.8 are: Bayern, Lokomotiv Moscow, Deportivo, Real Sociedad, Stuttgart, Porto, Sparta Prague, and Celta Vigo.

This time, there are many new faces in the champions of the Champions League, but many old strong teams have lost their chains at this time. Inter Milan failed to perform a miracle of saving itself at the last moment. It and Lazio became the first to fall behind. The traditional strong teams have all been reduced to the UEFA Cup.

Now Inter Milan is not the most troublesome. After all, there is Moratti, the chairman who spends a lot of money. There are already signs that the building is about to collapse.

After being directly eliminated by Porto from the UEFA Cup semi-finals last season, this group of Blue Eagles who had finally made it to the European Champions Cup once again fell into the sand at the juncture of the group stage, and they couldn't die anymore Dead, the UEFA Cup may no longer be meaningful to them.

The promotion of the Champions League represents a rich return on money. Even Da Costa has publicly stated in the team that if he enters the quarter-finals, he will use part of the income from TV broadcasting and ticket sales as the team continues to move forward. Bonuses, one more reward for every step forward.

Being able to enter the knockout round with an unbeaten record has already made Porto's popularity in Portugal soar, especially the two group matches against Real Madrid, which boosted the Portuguese. When the European Cup is approaching, the Porto team His performance is undoubtedly adding points to Portuguese football.

Now even the city of Lisbon, which is on fire with the Porto team, has begun to have a gathering place for Porto fans. However, they often have a little friction with the Lisbon fans, but they can use the results of the Porto team to despise those Rival fans.

Now that the popularity of the Porto team in Portugal has reached a peak, tickets for the Dragon Stadium are no longer as easy to buy as before.

This is the benefit brought by the Champions League, so Da Costa dared to give his promise, as long as he can continue to move forward, he is willing to pay a high bonus.

When the Da Costa family was able to reach out to save the Porto team when it was on the verge of death, then when the team was on the rise, they would have no reason to give up fighting for better results. Money is definitely not Dakos at this time The problem in the eyes of the tower.

As long as he can win, especially in a game like Real Madrid, Da Costa is willing to spend money on it. He is not a stingy boss.

He already loves this group of boys, even if he sees Florentino now, he will not think that his team is lower than the opponent.

Don't forget, it was us Porto who let you go at the Bernabéu!Otherwise, you still have to follow our ass around now!
However, when Mourinho saw the qualifying list, he also scratched his head a little, because neither Inter Milan nor Juventus he expected were in the second tier.

"Oh, it's a bit of a miscalculation. I knew it would be better not to release water at the Bernabeu." When the assistant coach Brito heard this sentence, he was a little dizzy. Don't treat those wealthy families as dishes.

Listen to what this means, if Mourinho doesn't let go of the water, the team of Real Madrid's level will be won by the Porto people if they want to win?If those Spaniards hear this, how embarrassing are the more than 8 Madrid fans you let the Bernabeu sit.

There is no way, Mourinho's appetite is so big, especially now that he has no pressure on performance at all, and he has relaxed his mentality.

Now he is thinking about what kind of opponent he will throw to the Porto team when the UEFA Champions League group draw is held on December 12th, the giants?Dark horse?
An English combination like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea is likely to meet Porto. After all, the opponent has three places in the first position, and Real Madrid has been completely excluded. The chances of going to England are the greatest.

With the experience of competing for the UEFA Cup with the Celtics of the British Isles last season, Mourinho also has a general understanding of the style of the British Isles clubs. They are more pursuing fierce physical confrontation. Pursue the speed of attack, and the game is always full of impact.

Although the level of the Celtics is considered a mid-to-upper level in the Premier League, Mourinho is not shy about this style.

At most, it will be a confrontation with the point of a needle, or a life-and-death confrontation at worst. Whether it is the Porto team or Mourinho, this method is acceptable, or it will stand still in the man-like offensive frenzy!Or let this kind of big wave directly beat to death, which is more straightforward.

Now the last thing Mourinho wants to hit is those teams from Italy, especially traditional giants like AC Milan and Juventus.

"I'd hate to run into those Italians more than the English because they know how to take advantage of two rounds, it's a terrible group of opponents, they have patience and time, and they know how to use the little players on the field. The trick, the Italians, is too cunning."

Mourinho is not afraid of the Englishman's onslaught, it will be a head-to-head contest at best, and he will either win or lose.

But once fighting with an Italian team, the experience in the game will play a decisive role. Compared with those opponents, what the Porto team lacks the most is the experience of this kind of Champions League knockout match. I'm afraid it can only be played by others.

Even if Porto's offense is sharp enough, Mourinho doesn't want to challenge the Italians' chain defense. There are not many Italian teams like Lazio who are used to making fuss about offense. That kind of slow defense is very difficult. It may directly kill the offensive inspiration of the Porto people.

Mourinho is not yet fully sure that his strikers will pierce the concrete defense line. The Italian will never give the Porto team too many opportunities to infiltrate. A player like Lin Yi who is used to looking for opportunities while dribbling, Likely to be met with vicious shoveling.

For so many years, how many football geniuses have fallen at the feet of the Italians? Likely to be lost in the crowd of Italian defenders.

"If we're lucky, I'd rather touch England and France than fight the Italians on the pitch."

Mourinho looked at the names who qualified first in the group. Lyon and Monaco are his best opponents. If he fights against them once, he may have a chance to win. After all, Porto has the experience of playing against Marseille. For the teams in Ligue [-], they can have less psychological burden.

The English team is Mourinho's second choice in the opponent column. Anyway, the top three in the Premier League now seem to be more aggressive in offense, but not as strict as the Italians in defense. Playing against these Englishmen, It is a direct dialogue on the court.

"If I could choose my opponent, it would be Monaco, Manchester United or Chelsea. I would not choose Arsenal because their skills are too good. I don't want to deal with that old French man. Any of these three opponents will do. ’ said Mourinho and Brito.

"Manchester United? Arsenal? God, Jose, do you think we can beat these teams? Don't forget, Ferguson is not Queiroz, he doesn't make mistakes on the sidelines, I should really touch you if you have a fever Now, if I were to play against them, I really can’t imagine what it would be like to win, you know, even the Monaco team is not so easy to deal with, don’t forget, they are the first in the group stage.”

"The only one here who is as inexperienced as us is probably Chelsea, but the owner from Russia has turned that team into a luxury army, and now maybe Real Madrid can compete with them for more money. , can we really beat them?"

"If we were to play games against these teams, my God, I'm afraid I don't even have the courage to stand on the sidelines. If we really want to go to Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford, I'm a little scared now thinking about it. Jose, I can only pray to God that we don't run into them."

Brito looked at Mourinho's analysis and selection, he was a bit confused, at least in his opinion, these opponents, no matter from any aspect, were stronger than the Porto team, at least he didn't know how to deal with it. These traditional giants confront each other, and the names of those opponents are simply too terrifying.

Brito looked at the list of names in front of him, and he felt a little dizzy. The collision with Real Madrid has not been over for a long time. Maybe he will run into a rich family again?God!Aren't you playing with our Porto team?Still win?This is no different from dreaming in broad daylight.

"I don't have the habit of raising my hands and surrendering before the game. Anyway, I have entered the knockout round. I don't have any pressure. It doesn't matter who I meet. Just like what we did at the Bernabeu, even if I go to Stamford Bridge, I will Also let Lin Yi tear down their piers."

Mourinho has now made it clear that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Da Costa has not given him any competition goals in the Champions League, so he can let go and play, play and roll, and be a rogue. Anyway, as long as he can cause trouble for his opponent, He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

The most important thing is that when Lin Yi saw the list, he looked exactly like him, and the little black-haired guy made a point of saying that.

"Don't touch those teams in Ligue [-]. If you want to choose, it is better to directly touch the giants. It is more enjoyable to play. Even if you lose, you are willing."

Mourinho appreciates this kid's courage, just like himself, even if it is a hard bone, he still has to pick the big one and take a bite, the small one?boring!
However, he did not hear the second half of the conversation between Lin Yi and Faria. If he had, he would definitely retract his previous comments.

"A team playing Ligue [-] has to go away to listen to the boos and insults of the French. You don't know. Last time I heard those French curses in Marseille, I almost bit my tongue. French sounds too awkward. It’s not as real as the English’s standard pronunciation of FUCK YOU.”

Lin Yi doesn't care who his next opponent is. Compared with that unknown opponent, he now wants to figure out how to practice free kicks, especially after watching Beckham's round moon scimitar. , He is more like enriching his offensive arsenal.

As a qualified midfielder, he not only has to think about how to use various passes to tear apart the opponent's defense, but also needs to make his shots always threaten the opponent's goalkeeper, and his shots. . .According to Brito, most of the time it's like a rescue, which is a disaster.

However, most of the time, Lin Yi's breakthrough is the sharpest weapon. Even if he shoots from a long distance, he can't guarantee that he will kill the opponent. He can also use the simplest push shot in the penalty area to penetrate the opponent's goalkeeper. Fingers off.

Now Lin Yi has seen his own shortcomings, he wants to make up for it, and he also has time to do all of this, he is still young and has a lot of time.

It's just that this job is hard for Faria, he has to stay with this kid on the training ground for two more hours after Lin Yi's extra training every day.

The flames of the Champions League have been temporarily extinguished, but the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese Cup will continue. After returning from Spain, the Porto team has re-entered the league to grab points, but now there are not many teams still clinging to them. In the end the courage was gone.

Who would mess with these lunatics when they are full and have nothing to do?Look at what happened to Real Madrid, and weigh your own weight. Most teams in the Portuguese Super League now regard the match with Porto as a kind of hard work. Lose less and win. This is how most teams idea.

Even so, the Porto team did not let go of the opportunity to ravage others. After losing the game against Real Madrid, they put all their energy in the Portuguese Super League. The four consecutive victories within a month completely overwhelmed all Opponents have cut off attempts to take points from Porto.

This group of Porto lunatics scored a total of 13 goals in four games. Among them, Dalley and McCarthy, two strikers, each scored a hat-trick. Now the Portuguese Super League's scorer list is completely It became these two guys competing.

However, when these two stingy guys bet in private, their bet for the top scorer was only 100 euros, which made the whole Porto team a little speechless. It is estimated that the main reason is to let others know that this is the case, Gomez Si can find a noodle and hang himself directly.

Although Benfica's Gomez also scored 11 goals in the middle of the league schedule, but compared with the two lunatics of the Porto team, that is not the slightest difference. This fat man even regretted spending a lot of money to buy Gomez back.

But no one can imagine that Lin Yi, who has always been very good-tempered, got into trouble in the last Portuguese Cup match before the UEFA Champions League grouping.

And it's quite a hassle. . .

(Watching the album of Yao Ming’s injury on Chaoting Wutai yesterday, I felt a little bored... This guy has paid too much for the national team, and the grandsons of the Basketball Association have the nerve to ask him for training fees. I really tortured them Man! Alas, wishing the NBA would start sooner in the endless wait.)
