Chapter 510 Young Porto
In the last game before the last 16 of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Betis away.As long as it encounters the word "Royal", Atletico Madrid will play as Real Madrid.

As a result, the poor Real Betis was humiliated 4:0 by Atletico Madrid at their home court. Although Caesar only scored one goal, he contributed two assists.

Griezmann made his debut in this game. He formed an offensive trio with Adrian and Caesar.

Although Simeone doesn't know how much room for improvement the Porto players will have in the future, judging from their performance in the domestic league, this group of young people must not be underestimated.

There are not no such examples in history. Van Gaal's Ajax, Deschamps' Monaco, Mourinho's Porto, including Dortmund this season, let a group of young people get together, and the burst of power will be huge.

In order to ensure that the team can adjust its state to the end and give it enough rest, Simeone made a certain degree of rotation to the lineup.

What is gratifying is that most of the new players have integrated into the team well. Although Emre and C. Rodriguez don't have many opportunities to play, they can contribute wonderful performances as long as they appear.

After defeating Real Betis, Atletico Madrid went to the Dragon Stadium to challenge the host Porto here.

Vitor Pereira is the new coach after Villas-Boas. Under his leadership, even though many main players have left, Porto still maintains considerable competitiveness.

They are about to face Atletico Madrid, the defending champion of La Liga and aiming to win this season, at home. This is no small challenge for Porto.

However, that is only the opinion of the outside world, and the Porto team is very happy that the team has drawn Atletico Madrid.

On the training ground, the players who have finished a stage of training are chatting, while Pereira is discussing the tactics against Atletico Madrid with the assistant coach.

Otamendi is a new star that the team dug out from Sarsfield. He was born in 88 and has already occupied the main position of the team.

In this game, he will be entrusted with the important task of marking Diego Costa.

Alex Sandro said: "Diego Costa is a player with quite flexible skills at his feet. Regardless of his height and ugly appearance, don't take it lightly."

Otamendi imitated Sandro's tone and muttered: "Nagging, like an old lady."

Seeing that Sandro was going to make a long speech again, Otamendi said impatiently: "Okay, I get it, isn't it Costa, I'll show you."

"Yo, you're bragging again." Danilo sat aside. He was actually not qualified to say Otamendi. After all, as a full-back, he was known for his outstanding offensive ability. This only shows that his defensive ability is too poor.

Otamendi glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, Caesar likes to pull the edge the most, you have to be careful, don't be smashed into a sieve by others."

Danilo blushed and yelled: "Who has been bullied into a sieve? Besides, he can bully me, but I won't bully him."

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Pereira yelled at the right time: "Okay! Go get the vest and fight in groups!"

The two got up muttering, and behind them were Ronaldo and Moutinho. These two are the technical core of the team, controlling the team's offensive rhythm, and they are the core of doing their part.

Unlike the previous defenders who seemed relaxed, Ronaldo and Moutinho obviously lacked confidence in the team's fight against Atletico Madrid.

"Their midfield strangling ability is very strong, and they must play the ball in time." Ronaldo said to Moutinho, and the Portuguese added: "Vidal is a bit reckless, and we can take advantage of this at that time."

Obviously, the Porto generals will play this game as a final. Everyone, no matter whether they are proud or humble, care about this game very much.

On the other hand, the Atletico Madrid generals who just got off the plane were not focused on the game at all.

"It's my first time in Portugal, and it doesn't look any different." Cork looked around on the road.

Atletico Madrid generals didn't think there was anything special about this game, it's just Porto, can it turn the world upside down?

Simeone noticed this and trained these guys well in the next day's training.

"I knew you were starting to underestimate your opponents again. Porto is their league champion, and they played very well in the group stage. Let me tell you, don't think that your main position is stable. If I find out who is passive and sabotage, don't even think about going to the game!"

Only now did the players pay attention. After all, no one wants to offend the coach, but he will really keep you on the bench.

But having said that, the players don't know much about Porto, so although they pay a little more attention to their mentality, they don't know what tactics the opponent will adopt tactically.

Simeone's idea is very simple, to respond to all changes with the same, after the opening, it is better to defend first.

On the day of the game, the sky in Porto was very clear, which was a good weather for playing football.

The Dragon Stadium can accommodate more than 5 spectators, which is a huge driving force for Porto to continue to move forward.This name sounds quite domineering. Every fan who comes to watch the game considers himself a part of the team from the bottom of his heart.

This sense of belonging is also the main reason why Porto fans still support them although Porto has been selling stars.

They sang cheering songs and dressed up the Dragon Stadium quite hotly.

While warming up, Caesar glanced over, a blue ocean.

Their South Stand has even entered the game state. The fans are shirtless and jumping non-stop, enlivening the atmosphere of the stadium.

"It's so energetic." Costa said standing aside.

Caesar said: "Just like their players, they are young and energetic. Be careful in this game, and don't be overwhelmed by their 'youth storm'."

"Don't worry, as long as we play normally, there is no opponent we can't win. Let alone Porto, we have also won Bayern, Real Madrid, and Barcelona."

In the locker room, Porto coach Pereira is arranging the final tactics.

"Atletico Madrid is very strong. To be honest, our players are not as capable as them. But we have an advantage, that is, we are young." Pereira said to the surrounding players, "Use our speed and impact to take the initiative in the game. Even if it is Atletico Madrid, I believe you can win the game."

Porto's starting lineup in this game will be the top lineup in 5 years, even 3 years later.

Goalkeeper Ayrton, Jess, Sandro, Otamendi, Danilo on the back line, and the three midfielders are midfielder Mangala, Moutinho and Ronaldo.On the forward line, there are two wingers Varela and Izmailov, and forward J Ma.

This lineup is full of offensive power, and at the same time, they are also full of confidence in themselves.
