Chapter 120 Flying Kick and Swinging Fist

In the eyes of many Portuguese fans, Lin Yi has always been a very good-tempered little guy. He basically never turned cold faces to the fans.

Although when this kid was on the court, he was desperately trying to grab every ball, and when he was fighting, he was ruthless enough, especially his knife-like pass fiercely killed the opponent's defense, but rarely Some fans saw him clash with his opponents on the court because of the confrontation.

The only time when Lin Yi had an overrated performance on the court was also because of the personal grievances between him and Villalinho, and nothing else was involved.

Even if he was knocked to the ground by a fierce shovel from the opponent's defender, this kid just quickly got up from the turf and continued to run on the field.Fans rarely see Lin Yi initiate physical or verbal conflicts with others, and he seldom responds to the other party's harsh words.

According to Lin Yi's own words, if he doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with those idiots, it would be easier to shut them up with a goal.

Brito always said that Lin Yi, a little guy, didn't know how to use the rules on the field. Sometimes, he didn't even have the basic awareness of self-protection, but Lin Yi still went his own way on the field and insisted on his own playing style. For him , The most direct way should be used to kill the opponent.

If your opponent stabs you, don't hesitate, you should give him a backhand instead of spending your time talking to the opponent.

However, Lin Yi's playing style has also made Mourinho tell him more than once that he must learn to protect himself on the court, and don't let himself become the target of the opponent's harm. Some subconscious protective actions are necessary. This is Professional performance, not fear of opponents.

Although Lin Yi promised time and time again that he would not forget these things in front of them, once he entered the field, he forgot all his instructions, and he still charged frantically. Nor can it prevent his nimble footsteps from cutting into the most dangerous areas.

But now Lin Yi's reputation in Portuguese football is getting bigger and bigger. Everyone knows that there is a little guy with black hair who shut up tens of thousands of Spaniards at the Bernabeu. Those opponents in the Portuguese Super League have included him in the list of dangerous people.

Originally, a midfielder like him who dribbled a lot of people was bound to be taken care of by the opponent's defenders. Now that his popularity has soared, this situation has become even more serious. Lin Yi's violations on the field have become more serious. More and more, he encountered more tackles and collisions in the game.

Since the two games against Real Madrid ended, Lin Yi has encountered at least two dangerous tackles from behind in the Portuguese Super League, and all of them were against the person and not the ball. It's just that this little guy is lucky. The two fouls didn't do him much harm.

However, after the foul, the opposing player did not express any apology, and even one guy even yelled at Lin Yi, "Get up, you little guy, don't pretend to be injured there to get sympathy from others, don't think that you How great it is to be in Spain!"

But the unlucky guy didn't wait for Lin Yi to jump up from the turf to deal with him, he was pushed away by Dalley, and seven or eight Porto players immediately surrounded him. If the referee hadn't separated the two sides in time, maybe that guy would have been killed These Porto lunatics are beaten up.

The provocateur, like Dalley, was sent off by the referee with two red cards. When this unlucky ghost was off the field, the excited Porto fans threw down at least a thousand bottles full of drinks. The grandson's head According to a conservative estimate, at least dozens of packages were smashed out.

Afterwards, when the Portuguese Football Association punished the Porto team for their ineffective supervision of the Dragon Stadium, Da Costa paid the fine very neatly. He didn't even argue with these people, and he didn't even complain at the very least, but he then took charge of the venue management. The staff left a word.

"The next time something like this happens, give each Porto fan who comes to the Dragon Stadium a bottle of drink for free, and ask for a particularly hard bottle."

And Lin Yi's support group of aunts was even more excited and severely cast aside this despicable act of hurting their little Zhengtai on various occasions.

But now many Portuguese Super League teams have set up their defensive fronts near the midfield in order to contain the Porto team's offense.

The purpose is to attack Lin Yi and Deke's front midfielder duo. These opponents are driven crazy by the crazy pair of midfielders of the Porto team. Even if they play double midfielders, sometimes they can't stand it. These two guys, maybe it's safest only if they push away from the restricted area.

Deco and Lin Yi must be brought down before they enter the dangerous zone, and these two guys must not be allowed to run near the penalty area. They can be marked by special personnel close to them, and they can be allowed to pass the ball, but they must not be allowed to surpass others. It is possible to prevent Porto's attacking group from threatening its own goal.

In particular, Lin Yi, who seemed a little weak in physical confrontation, has become the first choice for those strong defensive midfielders who are ruthless and desperate to tackle.

Now when Lin Yi is interspersed with running in every game, there will be fixed people around him to mark him. The opportunities for free movement like before are becoming less and less, but the threat Lin Yi brings to them is also getting bigger and bigger. As he got bigger and bigger, his passing speed also became faster and more accurate.

"Bring him down! Rather give them a free kick from 30 meters away, and don't let that kid pass the ball wantonly on the field! Don't let him perform in front of the penalty area! Put the Porto team's midfield transportation line, must Cut it off completely! Cut it off!!!”

This is no longer a defensive task assigned by the head coach of a team to his players. Now this sentence seems to have become popular in the Portuguese Super League. Every team that competes with Porto must regard this as a Routine business to do.

Especially the restrictions on Lin Yi have become the responsibility of those defenders. Even if they use fouls, they have to keep Lin Yi and Deco out of the danger zone!

The increasingly fierce defensive moves and the obviously harmful interception methods all greeted the double front midfielder combination that the Porto team relies on most.

Although the whistle of the referee can bring the Porto team a free kick closer to the goal or even a penalty kick, but watching Lin Yi fall, get up, and fall again and again on the field, Mourinho has been present more than once While complaining to the fourth referee about the opponent's intentional foul.

"It's like seeing a murder on the sidelines. When they put their feet on a young man who was only 16 years old, I don't know if they have a feeling of guilt in their hearts. I can feel that they are very disgusting."

"Unable to stop the Porto team from attacking, my opponent chose the dirtiest and nastiest defensive method on the pitch."

"Malicious fouls will hurt the life of a professional player, but my opponents don't care that such mistakes continue to exist on the court. I really don't know if there will be another tragedy like Basten. One can only hope that football stadiums don’t turn into slaughterhouses and that there is some humanity.”

Mourinho is not worried that this passage will cause him any trouble, even if he may face a high fine, he doesn't care, he has to fight back, he can only hope that such criticism can attract the attention of the referees, at least In this way, Lin Yi can be protected on the field.

But what can referees do?Apart from showing a yellow card or a red card, they couldn't completely prevent those opponents from continuing to attack Lin Yi.

Although they can verbally warn their opponents seriously, or even send them off the field directly, they cannot stop the idea of ​​​​fouling the opponent. They can warn the opponent not to do it again, but this does not work at all. It became a habit to stop Lin Yi.

The violation of Lin Yi on the field is still continuing. During the match against Leiria, this trend has become more and more serious. In order to defend Lin Yi, the opponent would rather pay for a midfielder to be sent off than to use killing. Sexual tactics, at least three of them received yellow cards for this.

You have to admire that little guy Lin Yi's lethality on the field. Even under such a tight defense of the opponent, he can still find opportunities for the striker to score on the field. His pass is still falling and colliding. Penetrating the opponent's line of defense.

Throughout the game, Lin Yi created a total of seven free kick opportunities in front of the penalty area, and two of them were directly hit by Deco with a curve ball.

Leiria's defense started with a foul, and it ended helplessly in a foul. The price they paid was completely in vain, but their head coach didn't think there was anything wrong with their defense. In the press release after the game Yes, his attitude still looks tough.

"We gave the opponent too much freedom in the midfield, maybe because this is the home court of the Porto team, the referee's law enforcement has also been affected by the outside world, we have a lot of legitimate defensive actions and we were fouled, and we were sent off. man, so we were unlucky and lost the game."

Leiria's coach's statement provoked Mourinho's tough counterattack. This is his territory, and he doesn't want to listen to this guy's nonsense anymore.

"Sorry, I don't really know what the other side is talking about. I only saw a group of butchers on the field. Professional players? Sorry, I can't see any professionalism in the opponent in this game. Except when they fouled, they Can kick someone's ankle and shin very professionally."

"The Porto team has never put any pressure on the referee. If I can, I am very happy to do so, but the reality is in front of me. My players are still suffering continuous injuries on the field, and most of the time it is the opponent's intention. Yes, I can only express one outrage at this."

This is the principle that Mourinho believes in. When you talk nonsense, then I can only use a more ruthless counterattack to block your mouth, because I don’t want to hear you barking there. Since you choose to fight in front of the public, then I How can I save face for you?I don't want to give you face, I'm still used to you?
The resumption of the war of words did not cause much trouble, because a team like Leiria is really not at the same level as the Porto team, otherwise they would not have lost 0:4. He was pushed to the forefront and once again became the focus of public attention.

Mourinho and the opponent's coach continued to argue at the press conference, and when Lin Yi was off the field, Faria could clearly see the kid rubbing his ankle. For this reason, Mourinho Immediately after the game, Lin Yi's training and the chance to play in the next league match were suspended.

"I want a healthy midfield core, not a playmaker full of injuries. You are only 16 years old. I don't want you to have 30-year-old knees and ankles. From now on, do recovery physio every day. , when your bones are not fully developed, don't be entangled by injuries!"

Mourinho's stern attitude this time was beyond the imagination of others. He even immediately arranged for the team doctor to give Lin Yi a general examination. It's like letting Lin Yi go.

"Boss, I've said it all. It's okay. They can't hurt me at all. When they were playing football on the street, those people's movements were more brutal than theirs. Didn't I get hurt anyway? These are trivial things, don't worry." It was so troublesome, but the ankle was a little uncomfortable, so I only rubbed it twice."

Seeing such a big battle, Lin Yi was a little helpless and complained to Mourinho. Although he had suffered a lot of violations in these games, apart from feeling a little pain in his calf and ankle in this game In fact, Lin Yi didn't think there was any big problem.

And he also began to pay attention to protecting himself in the game, but the opponent's black feet are everywhere, and sometimes he is hard to guard against.

"I am the coach. What you have to do now is to obey. There is no room for bargaining. The knockout round of the Champions League is about to begin. I don't want to see you on the injured list. If we want to continue to go down, you is essential, so you must give me a quiet rest."

Although Lin Yi protested against Mourinho again, Mourinho would never give him this chance. He is the head coach and has the right to decide all this, and Mendes also thinks that Lin Yi is in this state. It is really not suitable for continuous combat, especially when the opponent obviously has the intention of hurting people.

But Mourinho's arrangement only lasted for one game. In the league where Lin Yi was forced to rest, Porto met Ferreira at home. Less than 20 minutes into the game, the opponent's midfielder With a tackle, Deco flew out of the sideline with the ball.

The clearly visible row of stud prints on Deco's calf forced Mourinho to make substitutions and adjustments. For the first time, the Porto team faced no attacking midfielder.

However, the rhythm of the game is still under the control of the Porto team. Even if there are two less playmakers, the current Porto team cannot be stopped by anyone. Dalley and McCarthy each scored a goal in the first and second half. Team Leyla's resistance collapsed completely.

Although the game was won, Mourinho had to let Lin Yi return to the team. His plan to give the kid a few days off had to be cancelled, because Deco had to rest for two weeks due to his calf injury. Lin Yi must take over Deco's command on the field.

Lin Yi was very happy to be able to play football. For him, it was much better to fight head-to-head with his opponent on the court than to use his ass to grind cocoons on the bench.

But God always makes the world full of variables every day. Three days before the start of the UEFA Champions League knockout draw on December 12, the Porto team ushered in the semi-final opponent of the Portuguese Cup, which was just eliminated from the UEFA Cup. Join the team.

The Braga team was already suffocated because of being eliminated this time. When they met the Porto team head-on, they lost an unlucky ball in the first half. Lin Yi kicked straight in the middle. Plug, even after touching the heel of their defender, he changed the line directly into the net.

The laughter in the dragon stadium completely angered this group of Braga players. At the beginning of the second half, they began to press crazily, especially the few shots at Lin Yi, which were even more vicious. The referee Even two yellow cards failed to suppress the anger of this group of guys.

Lin Yi had no way to dodge this kind of flying kicks. He had been knocked to the ground at least five or six times in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and the opponent didn't seem to intend to let him continue. Chance to catch the ball.

Pooh!When Lin Yi stood up from the fall again, he spat hard at the turf, "Damn it, these grandchildren are endless!"

This kind of endless tackle also aroused Lin Yi's anger for the first time, and he also put his opponent down on the turf in a subsequent steal.

When the other party rushed towards him with a face full of anger, Lin Yi didn't care that this guy was a bit taller than him, and went straight to meet him.

However, the referee was the first person to arrive at the scene of the incident, so he would not let such a conflict escalate, and immediately separated the two angry guys, and he also specially warned the two people not to continue like this, Otherwise, he doesn't mind sending anyone off.

Lin Yi also just wanted to use this kind of counterattack to tell his opponent that he is not easy to provoke, if he really has darker feet than anyone else, a guy like him who is used to playing on the street will definitely not have soft feet, so he will not fight with the referee. What to distinguish, he spread his hands to indicate that he has no problem.

But when Lin Yi was about to turn around and leave, he clearly heard the guy who was half a head taller than him scold behind him, "Bastard!"

For this kind of insulting and offensive language, the referee will never be soft. He was about to draw out a yellow card to warn the opponent, but someone was faster than him.

When the referee was surprised to see a foot kicked out of his side, causing a tall man of more than 1 meters to fly, he was completely stunned.

Not only him, but the entire Dragon Stadium was stunned, and the kick was just a prelude. Tens of thousands of people watched Lin Yi rush out from the referee, grab the opponent, and gave him a hard K. In the flashing picture, someone has already seen the tragic scene of the unlucky ghost with nosebleeds flying all over the place.

In the eyes of the tens of thousands of people in the dragon stadium, at that moment just now, they could only see the fists waving non-stop and the kick that flew up.

"Damn it!" was all Mourinho said when he saw this scene. . .

(Looking forward to the first game of the Miami Heat, the success or failure of the Big Three will be decided this season...)
