Midfielder.

Chapter 154

I really don't know what Coupe was thinking when he said "there is no task that the French can't accomplish" when he was interviewed by the media.

Maybe Lyon is too popular in Ligue [-], so even if someone reminded him that Marseille lost to Porto in the group stage, Coupe didn't care too much, maybe in the league, they will always beat Marseille. Kupe, in his own right, didn't take that result as a warning.

If they can win Marseille, it doesn't mean that the Porto people can conquer Lyon. Not only Coupe thinks so, but also many Lyon fans. Even the owner of the Lyon team, Aulas, who has always been very calm, thinks this is the Lyon team. A chance to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Compared with the cautious attitude of Porto team boss Da Costa in an interview, this time the romantic Frenchman is more aggressive.

But when da Costa closed the door, he said a word to Mourinho, "Kick those French guys' ass hard for me!"

Running wild on Porto's turf?Even the things that Manchester United and Real Madrid have never done, do you rely on your Lyon team?Damn, you are dreaming!

Although the Lyon team thinks from top to bottom that this is a good chance for them to break into the Champions League semi-finals, their coach Le Guin is not so hot-headed.

Lyon was very good at killing the Real Sociedad, scoring 3 goals in two games, and allowing the opponent to only shoot three times in the second round.

Reaching the quarter-finals with such a strong record is already a very remarkable miracle for a team that has just emerged in Ligue [-].

But Legon has not forgotten that the Lyon team he led just overturned a Real Sociedad, which is not considered a strong team in Spain, while his opponent just left Old Trafford with three points Porto, in this comparison, Le Guan does not think he has an advantage.

Even though Aulas seemed ambitious, Le Guin was not dazzled by the victory. He knew that the Champions League is not the one-acre three-point land of the Ligue [-].

This is not a place where the Lyon team says that they can do whatever they want. Although the Lyon team has the hope of winning three consecutive championships in Ligue [-] this year, in the Champions League, no one cares how good you are in your own league. Fierce, none of the teams that can break into the quarter-finals of the Champions League is easy to deal with.

Just like the group of Portuguese lunatics that Lyon encountered this time, Le Guon didn't think he could easily win the opponent in the first round.

Don't forget, the first round was held away. The Dragon Stadium has not been captured once in this UEFA Champions League. The group of Portuguese lunatics just killed Manchester United. Not to mention the level of morale. It is already terrifying to regret the crazy fighting power of the Manchester United team.

These days, who dares to say that they can double kill Manchester United in the knockout round of the Champions League?And both times, they completed shocking reversals after conceding the goal first.

Even if they change teams like AC Milan and Real Madrid, they can't guarantee that they will win when they face the English.

But that's what Porto did, not only did they win, but they made Manchester United resist their attacks in vain in both games.

The offensive ability of these lunatics really made Legan scratch his head a bit, and the head coach of the Porto team is also a very difficult guy.

A guy who can gnaw off a piece of meat from Ferguson's body is definitely not that easy to deal with, so Legon is now very cautious.

Calm and sharp, this kind of Mourinho's unique temperament made Legan very vigilant. He didn't want to repeat the tragedy of Ferguson's defeat in Maicheng.

However, this kind of caution and care is limited to Le Guin alone, not the entire Lyon team is so low-key, the morale of the French is extremely high.

Many French media have dispatched their own reporters in advance. Although they did not say that the Lyon team will definitely win the away game, they believe that their team will not easily lose to their opponents. Anyway, Ligue [-] is also one of the top five leagues. , and the Portuguese Super League can only be regarded as a second-rate league.

This is their own psychological advantage, especially since the group stage, the fierce momentum of Lyon's undefeated team has given them confidence.

Some people say that Porto's elimination of Manchester United was an accident. This view is accepted by many French people, but they are very grateful for everything Porto has done.

"It was Porto who created a good chance for us to enter the Champions League semi-finals, so in these two rounds of competition, we will not waste opportunities."

This is what a Lyon team columnist wrote in L'Equipe. Mourinho didn't say that the opponent was arrogant, but he also said that the result of the game would let the reporter know where he was wrong. No, that's not crazy imagination, just the ignorant idea of ​​a fool.

Dare to despise Porto so blatantly?In front of Mourinho, the person who said this is definitely a stick, he is provocative.

When Mourinho and the Porto team encountered such a provocative guy, they had one way to fight back, which was to let the final result of the game speak.

But before the game started, no one knew what the final result would be, so not many French people expressed concern about Mourinho's remarks.

An unnamed sense of self-esteem has infected the entire Lyon team, even in the moments before the game, they still do.

Coupe, De Flanders, Edmilson, Echin, Malouda, Müller, Diarra, Juninho, Govou, Luendula, Elber, look at Lyon's appearances Players can know where the confidence of this group of guys comes from. This is a very strong starting lineup.

Leaving aside Diarra, Malouda and other players who have made their mark in France, players like Govou and Coupe who can gain a foothold in the French national team have already made the Lyon team look more luxurious. What's more, their three lines all have stronger core players.

Elber, Juninho, and Edmilson, with these three Brazilian carriages, have already shown the strength of Lyon, a Ligue [-] giant.

These three guys have all represented the Brazilian team in official matches. Compared with Deco, one of the core of the Porto team, they seem more authentic.

People like Deco who have never even entered the gate of the Brazilian team will naturally not be looked down upon by their opponents. There are even French commentators who say in a joking tone that Deco is a "pseudo-Brazil". Compared with the luxurious troika of the Lyon team, it is simply a world of difference.

"On one side are people who have been forgotten by the Brazilian national team, and on the other side are two active Brazilian international players. This is the gap between Porto and Lyon."

Although the French media who said this sentence just wanted to suppress the morale of the Porto team to win Manchester United, but he obviously didn't know that it was an idiot to do so.

Even Scolari, who chose Deco to join the Portuguese national team, became angry after hearing these remarks, and publicly scolded the reporter for having a negative IQ.

"Deco's failure to be selected for the Brazilian national team can only show that Brazil has too many talents, but it does not mean that Deco is not a good player."

Scolari, who is a Brazilian, can't stand it anymore at this time. You can imagine how annoying the faces of those French reporters are.

But these are all comparisons deliberately created by those boring media. Deco doesn't seem to care much about this comparison, and neither does his opponent.

Facing Deco, who has been selected for the Portuguese national team, Juninho, the absolute core of the Lyon team, still appears relatively restrained, which is also his character.

"Porto are the strongest team I've faced in Europe, even though we played against Inter, Barcelona and Bayern."

"We can beat Bayern 2:1 in the group stage, but it doesn't mean we can beat Porto at the Dragon Stadium, which is a tough opponent."

You can say that Juninho is very kind, at least he is very wise not to belittle his opponents, and he doesn't want those boring French reporters.

If you insist on teasing the Porto people's fiery temper on the opponent's territory, maybe these idiots will soon know what they have done.

Like Lyon's strongest lineup, Mourinho did not leave any reserves for himself, and he also sent all the main players.

Baia, Carvaljo, Carvalho, Ferreira, Valente, Deco, Bosingwa, Costinha, Lin Yi, Maniche, McCarthy.

Except for Carvalho who replaced the injured Jorge Costa and Bosingwa who replaced the suspended Alenichev, the Porto team played with all their main players.

Fired the first shot at his own home court. Mourinho has no reason to let his opponent retreat calmly. He must win this game.

It's not because those French idiot reporters provoked Mourinho's temper, but because he doesn't want to lose points easily against opponents with the same conditions.

"Napoleon in the past could conquer Europe, but here today, on our territory, the conqueror can only be our Porto team!"

In fact, at this time, there is no need for Mourinho to make inflammatory speeches before the war, because those lunatics have already suffocated.

When the whistle of the game just blew, the group of lunatics under Mourinho had already rushed out like a whirlwind, and there was no one to stop.

Those French reporters may be too obsessed with belittling Deco, they even forgot who the most dangerous guy in the Porto team is now.

But someone will use a very effective way to remind them to pay attention to which guy will become the biggest threat to the Lyon team's defense.

Less than 2 minutes after the opening, Costinia intercepted Muller's pass with a beautiful tackle in the midfield, and then pushed the ball straight with a low kick.

Deco responded in the frontcourt, but when Diarra approached Deco, the guy smiled at Diarra and gave the ball away with a feint.

Before Juninho and Diarra could react, the missed football was kicked into the middle of the penalty area with one foot without stopping.

The cooperation of the three people, but two passes with one kick have successfully tore apart the Lyon team's defense line. McCarthy, who responded in the middle, volleyed with his kick.

Edmilson was deceived by the pass. Before he had time to appear in the most dangerous defensive area, he could only interfere with McCarthy with a tackle.

The South African's sprint was a bit too fierce this time. When he received the ball, his center of gravity had already begun to lean forward, and the shot was a bit inaccurate.

When Kupe reacted, the football had already slipped out of the baseline by rubbing against the goal post, but this sudden attack scared Kupe into a cold sweat.

If McCarthy hadn't run a little past, it is estimated that Kupe could only pick up the ball from the net at this time, and he picked it up this time.

Only at this time did Juninho see who the guy who just kicked the ball into the penalty area was the black-haired Lin Yi.

That was the dangerous person whom Le Gon had repeatedly told everyone to pay attention to before the game. That Lin Yi who was walking around like a ghost was the most dangerous.

The dark-haired little guy didn't get into a war of words before the start of the game, but for the current Porto team, he may be the deadliest weapon.

Even if Deco is still the core of the field, no one denies that in the current Porto team, Lin Yi is the winner more often.

As long as this kid is on the field, he can create murderous intentions anytime and anywhere, just like before, with a elusive through ball, let McCarthy directly face the goalkeeper. This is only the first attack of the Porto team in the first half. At this moment on the sidelines, there is already a smell of danger.

Even Aulas, who was sitting on the rostrum, felt a little restless at the moment. This French businessman may have realized for the first time that he was wrong.

Can help Lyon from the bottom of Ligue [-] to the championship of Ligue [-], you have to say that Aulas is a very smart and powerful character.

But when he heard the cheers in the dragon stadium, he realized that he had underestimated his opponent this time and provoked a group of very crazy guys.

This is Porto's home court, so amidst the cheers of the fans, these lunatics became more and more fierce, leaving no chance for their opponents to fight back.

Originally in Ligue [-], Lyon's midfield was their strongest position, but at this moment, their inherent advantages disappeared.

The Porto team didn't give them a chance to control the game in the first 10 minutes. Their impact caused the opponent's midfield to lose its proper rhythm. What kind of French elegance and Brazilian technology? Only the madness of the Porto people stands at the Dragon Stadium!
McCarthy's shot just opened the gates for Porto's ferocious attack, and in the ensuing time, their attack became more and more fierce.

Juninho tried to control the rhythm of the game on the field, but Mourinho would not give him this opportunity. He signaled to Maniche that this main artery of the opponent must be cut off. Since the Lyon team has such a fixed core, then Well, I'd rather sacrifice a man and kill him outright.

Mourinho did not deliberately request that the two sides must be opened, especially the left side. He chose to let Maniche take care of Juninho. He wanted to destroy the opponent's strongest weapon in the midfield. The Lyon team did not emphasize the center. ? OK no problem, we will strangle you in the middle.

Deco, Lin Yi, and Costinha, these three guys had already obtained Mourinho's permission before the game, and deliberately pressed forward in the middle.

Anyway, Mourinho has made up his mind. If he wants to use this game to destroy the opponent's confidence, I will attack wherever you are strong!
I just want to force you to change your inherent style of play in the end on the court. Mourinho has already prepared such a heart attack.

This guy who always has a very cold expression has such confidence that he can kill his opponent, especially the almost crazy performance of that kid Lin Yi after the opening, which gave Mourinho the guarantee to execute this order, so that kid can continue to go crazy , until the opponent starts to feel scared!
Even though Le Guin and his Lyon team had begun to step up their marking on Lin Yi, Diarra only understood the pain of Manchester United when he faced the kid.

How do you guard a kid who's roaming around in his half court?Follow him?That just makes your defense more confusing.

Don't follow him?That would be like what happened in the No. 19 minute of the first half, that kid will make you break out in a cold sweat at your negligence.

The Porto team captured another chance to score in the 19th minute. After receiving the ball in the midfield, Maniche directly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Lin Yi, who was inserted at high speed, directly knocked the ball with his back and heels in the air to the penalty spot. , Deco, who was grabbing a point in the middle, volleyed in front of the goal and missed the post.

When Kupe saw the football flying over, he had already raised his hands in surrender. He had no hope of being able to catch such a close-range volley.

But God saved him once again. Deco, who was not considered a killer in front of the door, failed to draw a successful conclusion to this wonderful cooperation.

But from Maniche's pass to Lin Yi's cross in the air, during the whole process, Lyon's defensive players didn't react at all, they were all stupid.

No matter whether it was Diarra, who was marking Lin Yi, or Edmilson, who was preparing to defend in the ribs of the penalty area, no one expected that Lin Yi would suddenly make such a kick.

It's not like Edmilson, a guy who has been famous in Brazil for a long time, has never seen a variety of performances, but this is too fucking non-mainstream!

Who has seen such a weird combination?In the air, with your back, or on your heels!It can still be so accurate!Is this fucking still alive!

How can people guard against this?Damn it, Diarra really wants to roar now, that bastard can use any part of his body to pass the ball, how can I keep an eye on him!Am I really going to the team doctor for a roll of bandages and tying myself to him like a mummy?
"Lin Yi!" "Lin Yi!" This kind of performance received tens of thousands of cheers and thunderous applause, and the entire Dragon Stadium was boiling.

"Wow!!! Amazing performance, just at that moment, I almost suspected that the guy wearing the No. 20 jersey is God himself!"

Although the guy in charge of the on-site commentary was a bit exaggerated, but now no one thinks that this praise is nasty, that kid is simply a god.

He dominates everything on the court, even if he faces a group of guys who became famous much earlier than himself, he can still kill them calmly.

Maybe it was just like what Diarra said, the only way to suppress him now was to use a bandage to firmly bind his legs.

Otherwise, you will never know what this kid will do next, his feet will always bring fatal danger!

(Looking at the little emperor responding to the boos and middle fingers of the Cavaliers fans with shots again and again, I really don’t know what he is thinking at the moment, revenge? For a team that has supported him for several years and worshiped him like an emperor , just use this way to repay, uh, I can only express regret. Maybe he will say that this is a response to the booing, but at the same time, I hope he will seriously think about why those fans treat him like this. In this world, There is no gratuitous hatred...)
