Chapter 172

How many games has Porto been unbeaten?

From the perspective of the league alone, since the 2011th round of the 12-18 season, Porto has not lost a single game.So counting this season's games, Porto has been unbeaten in 18 games in the Portuguese Super League.

European mainstream media did not pay attention to this. After all, Juventus’ 38-round unbeaten record in Serie A last season is still vivid. In contrast, a small Portuguese Super League with an 18-round unbeaten record, After all, it is nothing, even the Porto people themselves may not take it seriously.

But the Portuguese local media will not ignore these. They always have to find news, and if there is no news, they have to make news.

So recently everyone is concerned about who will end Porto's unbeaten record.Will it be Sporting Lisbon?Porto will host Sporting Lisbon on October 10.

Or is it Benfica?Then we have to wait until January 2013, 1, the 14th round of the league, when Porto challenged Benfica away.

As for other teams?Well... if you ask 100 random fans if they know any professional teams in the Portuguese Super League.

It is estimated that the answer will be "Porto", "Benfica", "Sporting Lisbon".Is there any more?I do not know.

The Portuguese Super League is a competition event in which the three giants take turns to sit on the pile.Since the official start of Portugal's top league in 1938, only two championships have been won by other teams. In the rest of the years, these three teams have shared the championship trophy.

Sporting Lisbon is slightly worse, only winning the cup 18 times, and since entering the 21st century, it has only won the league championship once; Porto is not bad, winning 24 times, and the league has won 10 times in the 8 years since the league was renamed the Portuguese Super League; Benfica It has won the most championships, winning a total of 29 championships, but only won 21 championships after entering the 2st century.

Therefore, if you want to find a candidate to end Porto's unbeaten record, basically you can only look for it from Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.

On the evening of October 10th, the Portuguese Super League ushered in the sixth round of competition. Porto played against Sporting Lisbon at home.

This is also the first time the traditional top three have played against each other this season.

Sporting Lisbon, who originally thought it would cause a little trouble for Porto, did not show the strength to fight back at the Dragon Stadium.

The two wingers Carrillo and Diego Capel were limited by Porto's two Brazilian full-backs; the promising young midfielders Adrien and Joao Mario were completely lost; the back line The Argentine teenager Rojo was broken 8 times by Shi Hao, who returned to the right, and scored the lowest score of 4.5 points in the game; even their Ding Haishenzhen Boulah Luz also lost his form and was bullied by Shi Hao and Martinez.

In the end, Porto, who played with the exhaustion of the Champions League, easily won 2:0. The reason why he only won 2 goals was because Pereira replaced the front trident one after another in the 60th minute.

In the 21st minute, Shi Hao received a diagonal pass from J Rodriguez and scored a goal, scoring his first goal in the Portuguese Super League; in the 55th minute, Martinez received Moutinho in the penalty area He passed the ball in seconds, turned around and shot successfully without stopping the ball, scoring his sixth goal of the season.

"An undisputed victory", "Porto is about to win three consecutive championships", after this game, various media sang the praises of Porto.

"This Porto team seems invincible. Letting go of Hulk did not reduce their attack power. The most important reason is Haoshi. This young player who was exchanged by Guarin has shown incredible form this season. He He directly participated in 70% of the team's goals, which not only filled the gap after Hulk left, but also increased the team's tactical diversity. However, whether Porto can continue this performance next season will be doubtful. J Rodriguez has been coveted by major giants for two years, and Haoshi has no shortage of suitors. Compared with their performance, I can only say that their minimum termination fee is too low..." A senior reporter said so.

"Shi is an important member of our team, he will not go anywhere." At the pre-match conference against Dynamo Kiev, Pereira emphasized, "And the club has not received a specific offer. Think that instead of caring about these rumors, we should focus on discussing tonight's game."

Shi Hao also attended the press conference, and he was also asked a similar question: "I heard that both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United intend to trigger your minimum release clause in the winter transfer window, what do you think?"

Shi Hao discussed this issue with Luo Yunhui on the phone two days ago, and Luo Yunhui also taught him some answer routines, which he had already practiced in front of the mirror in the hotel room: "To be noticed by such a rich family, I'm flattered. But I'm a Porto player now, I just want to play well for Porto. If a team wants to get me, they have to contact the Porto club first and get the club's permission before negotiating with me."

"Ancelotti said that he admires you very much and is willing to bring you to the Parc des Princes at all costs. What do you think?"

This question is more tricky, but it is actually a question that professional players, especially outstanding professional players, often encounter. Shi Hao answered without any questions: "Thank you Mr. Ancelotti for his great love for me. I can be recognized by a world like him." I am very proud that the famous coach appreciates me. But I am very satisfied with my life in Porto now, and I have not considered leaving for the time being."

It was obviously a match between Porto and Dynamo Kiev, but the topic was always diverted to Shi Hao's transfer rumors, which was really helpless.But this also shows from the side that Shi Hao is so hot now.

Luo Yunhui discussed this issue with Shi Hao on the phone. Manchester United just asked casually, but Paris Saint-Germain really wanted to buy Shi Hao. The winter transfer is over.However, Luo Yunhui advised Shi Hao not to rush to transfer, it is best to play a full season in Porto.

Luo Yunhui said that if he can continue his current performance, she will definitely negotiate a big contract for him when the summer transfer market opens.

How big is it?Luo Yunhui just smiled mysteriously, saying that if Dong Chuang transfers immediately, the contract will be reduced by at least half.

Naturally, Shi Hao could do anything.He still has work to do in Porto.

He also told the truth to the reporter, he is quite satisfied with his life in Porto.Although the level of the league is a bit low and there is no pressure, but the Champions League, a group of professional coaches, and a few very good teammates can promote his growth.

So he is in no rush to transfer.

Suppressing these distracting thoughts, Shi Hao stepped into the stadium and ushered in the third UEFA Champions League game of his career amidst the cheers of the fans.

Perez didn't pay much attention to this game, because Dynamo Kiev, which once produced a "nuclear warhead", is now not as strong as before, and this season's state is not very good. The first round of the Champions League was also defeated by Paris Saint-Germain 4. :1 blood slaughter.

Shi Hao didn't dare to underestimate this match.This is already the deadline for him to complete the hidden mission "Pie Feeder", and he must contribute more than 2 assists in this game.
