There is a dream called football

Chapter 143 We Are the Boss in Portugal
"Football in the Iberian Peninsula has a Scottish flavor," explained Lopez.

Camacho is the Spanish coach, but he is also a pragmatic person. No matter how invincible he is before the game, he knows in his heart that Benfica is not as strong as Porto at this time, so the midfield transition should be simpler and focus on defense.

And Porto also put on the posture of a strong team, changing the bus tactics of the Champions League and becoming very strong.

Deco.

maniche.

Costinia.

Li Qiao.

McCarthy.

Del Rey.

All the players in the frontcourt played with one kick, just like Barcelona's football later.

"In Portugal, Porto really dominates," Lopez said.

The strength is reflected in the ball possession rate.

60% possession rate.

In the Champions League, Porto's ball possession rate is always behind, and the lag is not small.

Mourinho's style of play without possession rate is already a wonderful flower in the Champions League.

When Li Qiao took the ball in the front midfielder, Deco was already on the side. Li Qiao split his foot and Deco crossed at a 45-degree angle.

The ball flew into the box and McCarthy headed it in, but it went wide.

There was a bang in the stadium.

The Porto fans started their cry, they came to Lisbon, and what they wanted to take away was a victory.

*****
Camacho was standing on the sidelines. This was a situation he could have expected, so there was nothing to worry about.

He is waiting for the team's counterattack, and the arrow that can score for Benfica is Gomez.

The long-haired Gomez may be a striker born for Portuguese football. He is very good outside the Iberian Peninsula, but in Portugal, he can definitely be regarded as a striker.

After Benfica intercepted the ball in midfield, Thiago passed it to Simão, who is Gomez's teammate in the national team.

He aimed at Gomez's head and sent a curve ball. Gomez made an erratic movement, first circled in front of Carvalho, and suddenly circled behind Carvalho.

Carvalho was a little negligent and lost his defensive position. Gomez grabbed a header and hit a contra-angle, but the angle was not tricky enough, and Baia saved the baseline.

Mourinho gave a thumbs up, saying the ball was beautiful.

Regarding the Portuguese Cup match, Mourinho was still quite calm, so he still had the leisure to appreciate the game, but this calmness fell in Camacho's eyes, which was particularly dazzling.

Benfica's midfield is also very strong. As long as Porto relaxes the pressure a little bit, they can play a very sharp counterattack.

French midfielder Emmanuel Petty and Portugal international Simão are both midfielders who can deliver that deadly through ball.

However, when the game reached 35 minutes in the first half, Porto still scored first. This was Deco's goal.

The process of scoring was a bit weird. The forwards all ran out of position, but Deco suddenly did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he rubbed his arch and pushed a curved ball.

Goooooooooal.

The blue side of the scene boiled, while the red side calmed down.

The camera pushes to a slogan - Portugal's football capital will always be Porto.

This sentence is too sad.

But at this time Benfica, the proud Lisbon natives have no way to refute anything, the scene on the court speaks for itself.

After Porto celebrated, the game continued, but the emotions of the Benfica players were obviously hit.

Especially Camacho who is about to leave, he was going to leave a cup championship to the people of Lisbon before going to Real Madrid, but now it seems that it is very difficult.

******
With one foot piercing the cloud and an arrow, thousands of troops will meet each other.

Li Qiao seized an opening and sent a cloud piercing arrow to shoot. He remembered the feeling when he played campus football.

The long-range shooting like a cloud-piercing arrow on the court is sometimes the most domineering and refreshing way of shooting.

But just before the ball was about to fly into the goal, the goalkeeper Moreira soared into the air and saved the ball over the baseline with a single palm.

The audience exclaimed again, but the Benfica fans were silent. Porto felt as comfortable as playing an exhibition game in these 5 minutes.

Camacho couldn't sit still, he started his own rant.

"What are you all doing, it's Porto, not Real Madrid."

This word floated into Mourinho's ears, the madman is not happy, Real Madrid?Wasn't it also defeated by me?

When the atmosphere on the court is depressed, the action will become bigger and bigger. Sure enough, the smell of gunpowder in the derby was ignited by Thiago.

There are more people named Thiago in the Iberian Peninsula than Zhang Wei in China, but this Thiago is very famous, and he is the iron-waisted midfielder of Atletico Madrid.

When he couldn't get the ball, he was holding his breath, so when defending Deco, he kicked the opponent's knee directly, which annoyed Mourinho, because the ball was a bit useless.

Mourinho walked towards Camacho and shook his finger, "You can't do this, it's the last game for you, but we still have to play in the Champions League, you are sinners of Portugal."

Camacho spread his hands, meaning to mind my business.

On the court, Maniche and Thiago are already on top of each other. Everyone is Portuguese, and they are all that kind of titans.

"You want to kill Deco, don't you?"

"You are responsible for what you say, and I can sue you for defamation."

Maniche chuckled, "Be careful with your legs."

"Hehe, I will be careful, see you in the national team."

It is said that the Barcelona gang and the Real Madrid gang of the Spanish national team are clearly separated, but so is Portugal.

Sometimes a national derby will kill the friendship between players. This is the origin of the saying that football is war in a peaceful era.

Deco has a lot of experience in playing football. When he was kicked, his leg was off the ground, so it was a flawed injury and he didn't twist.

After the team doctor checked the cruciate ligament, he gave an OK gesture to Mourinho, while the referee on the other side gave Thiago a yellow card.

Five minutes later, Maniche kicked Thiago to the ground, and this time the referee decisively issued a yellow card.

Maniche smiled wryly, "My movements are so small."

But this is a retaliatory move, and no matter how small a retaliatory move on the court is, it still has to be paid off.

Mourinho crossed his arms and said dissatisfied: "Idiot, at least the revenge should be concealed, it's too obvious."

But after these two conflicts, the male hormones couldn't be suppressed, and the smell of gunpowder in Derby couldn't be suppressed either.

At this moment, there was a bang in the stands, and someone was setting off fireworks.

Li Qiao hates this kind of behavior the most. In his previous life, watching the Serie A league games, he was often covered in mist because someone set off fireworks.

Soon, the smoke began to fill in, and the visibility at the scene was greatly reduced.
