Midfielder

Just as Lin Yi reminded, not only Baia needs to pay attention to the Swedish bald guy, but the entire Porto team needs to pay attention to the dangerous guy, especially the Porto team's defense line, which always makes some small mistakes in recent games.

Facing the Celtics, who have lost their powerful center forward Hartson, Mourinho is most worried about the bald guy from Sweden. It was this guy who flashed twice in the game against Boavista, which made Porto's city rival suffer in its home court.

Old demon, this is the most pertinent evaluation of this Swedish bald guy by many people. The 32-year-old Swede has a bit of ghostly demonic aura in front of the goal. He can always smell the opponent's most fatal weakness, and then stab you silently.

The knife of this old guy will definitely take your life. Boavista was kicked out by this old demon at the last minute.

This old monster didn't have any particularly good shooting opportunities throughout the game. It can even be said that he had hidden behind Hartson. When everyone's eyes began to look at the more ferocious Hartson, this old monster suddenly came in the 80th minute.

You can also say that he was lucky. If it weren't for the defender of the Boavista team who stretched his foot to touch the football, he would not have seized the opportunity to shoot at all, but you must not ignore one thing, that is, this old monster always seizes such opportunities in the game.

His shooting may not be so chic and beautiful, or it can be said that there is nothing special about his shooting. Sometimes it is just a very ordinary shot, but it can knock the goal at the critical moment. This is the most chilling part of this old monster. It is a fatal blow that is not gorgeous.

Until entering the final of the League Cup, this old monster has scored 9 goals, ranking second in the League Cup scorer list, and the winning goals accounted for the vast majority. This kind of killer at the critical moment is the most terrifying. His calmness in the final shot makes people feel suffocated.

Moreover, the goal scoring rate of this beast is very amazing. He has scored a total of 42 goals in various competitions so far this season. This is the crazy performance of the Swedish bald man in the Celtics. This is also the killer in front of the goal that has given Mourinho the most headache so far.

If there is a strange feeling of mutual restraint between Lopez and Mourinho, but his lethality in other games is not so strong, but this Swedish bald man has been continuing his threat in front of the goal, which is more like a shooter's instinct.

Especially this guy who is only 1.77 meters tall is often submerged among those tall and strong Scottish people, but the moment he suddenly appears, it will make all the goalkeepers facing him feel cold. Now Baia will face the most direct threat from such a guy.

Although Dallei is now ranked first in the League Cup scorer list, he is only one goal ahead of the Swedish bald man, but don't forget that behind Dallei is the powerful and extremely creative midfield organization group of Porto team.

Whether it is Deco or Lin Yi, or even Costinha or Alenichev, they will create the best shooting opportunities for Dallei at critical moments. Even Dallei's partner Kapshu can make good balls for his companions in front of the goal, which is why the Brazilian scores frequently.

Moreover, Dallei's keen sense of smell and good luck also helped him a lot in many cases. At least three of his goals were scored directly after Lin Yi or Deco's shots were saved by the goalkeeper. This season's good luck and Dallei's state are perfectly matched.

And the Swedish bald man obviously did not have such a good treatment. Behind him stood a group of rough men from Scotland. They did not know how to do technical work at all. There were many times when the Swedish bald man was the one who could create opportunities in the Celtics.

Compared with Hartson's powerful center forward who was like a signboard in front of the goal, Mourinho often focused on the Swedish bald man, Henrik Larsson, a Swedish international who was the least like a Nordic player in terms of playing style, and an absolutely deadly killer in front of the goal.

This guy is also a goal-scoring machine who has scored nearly 200 goals in the Celtics. Mourinho does not want his team to become the commemorative milestone of the Swedish bald man's 200th goal. He wants to make this group of Scottish people a stepping stone for Porto to reach the top.

"Carvalho and Jorge, your task in this game is to keep an eye on this guy and don't give him any space to use. Compared with Sutton, Larsson is the most terrifying offensive weapon for the Scottish. We must not become the second Boavista team."

"Especially when Hartson has been confirmed to be unable to participate in the game, this guy will become more dangerous. You must ensure that you are highly focused in the game, keep an eye on him, and bite his shadow tightly, and don't give him any chance."

After the training the day before departure, Mourinho deliberately marked Henrik Larsson's name on the blackboard in the conference room with a symbol, and he also arranged a special person to guard this Swede. The fierce Carvalho will directly confront him.

On the day before departure, Mourinho not only told his players what to pay attention to on the field, but also changed the formation of Porto after careful consideration. Lin Yi, who had just crawled out of the hospital, was put on the substitute list.

Facing the 3-5-2 lineup that Celtic might put out, Mourinho changed Porto's defense line to a 4-back configuration. The Scots' side cross has always been their most common trick, so this time Porto's two full-backs have a heavy task.

In addition to Baia still being the goalkeeper, Paulo Ferreira, Carvalho, Jorge Costa, and Valente will form the most solid defense line of Porto, and Maniche and Alenichev will also work with the full-backs to block Porto's two flanks.

They will face the Celtics' Petrov and Lennon's successive attacks, and Agathe and Thompson will also cause them a lot of trouble. This is the main reason why Mourinho will readjust the back line to 4 people. Stability is more important than anything else at this time.

In the final of the League Cup, whoever makes fewer mistakes can laugh to the end. Only by suppressing the opponent's offensive characteristics can Porto take the absolute initiative on the field. The behavior of greed and risk-taking should never appear on the field of the final. Mourinho needs to stabilize now.

Deco will continue to occupy the position of front midfielder. His steady organizational ability will lead Porto's offense, and Costinha will also hold the back midfielder to participate in the control of the midfield. The partnership of Dallei and Kapshu in the front court is still the main means for Porto to capture the city.

In particular, Dallei's recent state has been very hot. This Brazilian who can be regarded as a great accomplishment is also gearing up to win the title of the top scorer of the League Cup, and he also wants to defeat the Swedish bald man with a perfect performance on the field and win the championship trophy.

Mourinho did not explain to Lin Yi in private why he was not allowed to play. Even during the individual training, this wretched uncle did not take the initiative to talk to Lin Yi about this issue, which made Lin Yi a little depressed after the list was announced.

He has tried to recover in the shortest time, just to participate in the League Cup final. For him, this is the first European final. He doesn't want to fight all the way and finally miss the final, but now Mourinho has personally denied his starting position.

And this has nothing to do with his current state. In the training in the past few days, Lin Yi can be said to have adjusted his body to a state of war. Even Deco and others said that this kid is like a full spring, fierce and scary.

But this time Mourinho didn't seem to see these, and had no intention of letting Lin Yi start. Even when the two of them were training privately, he didn't say anything, which made Lin Yi confused. He didn't know if he was not doing well enough.

Finally, it was assistant coach Brito, the middleman, who told Lin Yi that Mourinho made such an arrangement for his physical recovery. After all, if he went head-to-head with the barbarians like the Scots on the field, no one knew what would happen.

The final would definitely not be a polite stage, and those Scots would not show mercy to a little guy like Lin Yi. Such a battlefield would bring unpredictable dangers to Lin Yi, and Mourinho did not want this little guy to take risks.

And no one could guarantee whether Lin Yi's calf, which had just recovered from an injury, could support the whole game. For safety reasons, Mourinho put him on the bench this time, and he really needed a point on his bench who could come on the field at any time to support the offensive firepower.

"In the final, both teams will carefully test each other. Offensive scenes are not common. In the stalemate, we must have someone who can open the situation, and you on the bench are the key that can be used at any time to open the stalemate."

"Don't worry, Jose won't leave a knife like you on the bench for too long. When you shine, it will be the best time for us to kill those Scots. Your good knife must be kept at the most fatal second to see blood."

Britto comforted the little guy in front of him. He knew what it would feel like to be on the bench in such a final, so he would communicate with him at this time. It was really more difficult to expect Jose to speak than anything else.

In the eyes of that tough guy, the only most important thing for the players is obedience. He doesn't need to explain anything to anyone, especially to the little guy Lin Yi. He needs this kid to have absolute discipline and not become arrogant because of his talent.

Although Lin Yi was a little depressed about not being able to start the game, he could only accept this arrangement. After all, the uncle was thinking about him, and this was the most important thing he learned from Mourinho, that is, obedience to the head coach.

On the flight to Seville, most of the team were talking about the beautiful Spanish girl and the upcoming game, only Mourinho and Lin Yi were a little silent.

It was just that one person was considering the on-the-spot response, while the black-haired little guy was wondering if he still had a chance to stand on the grass in the final. . .

(It will probably be released on Sunday... I hope those who have monthly tickets will help keep it, I hope I can have a chance to rush to the new book monthly ticket list... In addition, today is really happy, the Dragon King has been arrested, and the next one is Director Cui? Could it be that this old guy was retired because he was involved in these things? That's why he was retired? Anyway, I feel that this matter is not over yet. Someone of these damn scum has to go to jail! One by one, none of them is good!)
