Midfielder

Chapter 89 Crashing into a Luxury Battleship

The experience of escaping death in Belgrade reminded the entire Porto team that in the Champions League, no opponent is easy to deal with. Don't always think that you can swagger here just because you are the UEFA Cup champion.

The former glory began to fade away from the Porto team after a rainy game. This is what Mourinho needs.

Letting these guys wake up from the heavy rain in Belgrade will always be more effective than holding their ears to warn them. People who have never been beaten will never have a long memory, because they will never know what pain is, but the lesson learned this time It's already hurting these guys.

Especially those guys who were still arrogant before the game. Now a heavy downpour has made them a little wilted. They have paid a enough price for their arrogance. This draw is for Murry For Neo, it’s not too bad.

Mourinho did not get angry in the locker room after the game, but his silence may be more frightening in the eyes of many players, including absolute main players like Deco, who all behaved honestly in the next few days. I was sweating profusely on the training ground and was not lazy enough to steal.

Even the reporters who were familiar with them couldn't get anything valuable out of these guys' mouths. Mourinho didn't give anyone a gag order, but everyone consciously kept their mouths shut. All the energy is focused on training.

Rather than pointing his nose at these guys and reprimanding them, Mourinho chose to let the real game educate these guys who had become arrogant.

"UEFA Cup champion? Sorry, there are no strong opponents who can appear in the Champions League without the halo of various honors. The only championship title we can win, in the eyes of the teams in the five major leagues, is more Like a not-so-funny joke."

"This game will allow you to understand your position in the Champions League. You can get a point from Belgrade. This result is not bad. At least we are not at the bottom of the group. One point has reminded you that this is not Portugal." In the Super League, you can’t do whatever you want.”

Mourinho's speech, which did not sound like a rebuke, touched the nerves of the Porto players even more. Now these guys have consciously put away the arrogant attitude at the beginning of the season, at least in the Champions League. On the other hand, they still need to learn, they are still just challengers.

There is no team that throws up its hands and surrenders here. If you want to win the game, you must become as fierce as a wolf. An embarrassing draw is allowing these Porto people to regain their wolfish nature that has been worn away by the halo of honor. , this punishment is actually not too bad.

The Porto team and Partizan Belgrade struggled to draw 1:1, which may have caught many Portuguese people by surprise. The media, including the Porto team, opened fire on the players on the field after the game. They were arrogant and arrogant. These have been for a long time. Criticisms that had not been seen before began to appear in the newspapers.

Although many people are looking for various excuses for Porto's unexpected draw, such as heavy rain, unsatisfactory venue, and playing away from home, it is obvious that these reasons are not agreed with by others, at least not Some people think this is a problem.

Even the Porto club knows this. All objective conditions are nonsense. The main reason is that these guys are not serious enough.

Especially when they had an absolute advantage, they wasted offensive opportunities wantonly. In the first half, they had several opportunities to break through their opponents, but their lazy movements and overly relaxed mentality ruined that. A hard-won offensive opportunity.

As Mourinho himself said in an interview after the game, the result of the game is real, but if the team could seize the opportunity, it could have led 2:0 at the end of the first half. They still had an absolute advantage in the opening period, but it was all squandered.

However, this tough uncle and Lin Yi, who was the absolute hero of this game, both said in the same tone when asked by reporters that they both believed that the Porto team could successfully pass the test of the group stage and would definitely qualify for the second round. Competition Qualification.

It is very important to keep a clean sheet in the first game, especially on the road. The team will definitely qualify from the group and advance to the top 16.

It's just that the predictions made by the two of them were drowned out by more topics. Some people just thought that these two people were talking big words. Maybe they wanted to use this method to cover up the embarrassment of the team's defeat. Anyway, from beginning to end Not many people really care about this.

Even Porto's first game in the Champions League failed to attract more attention. Compared with aristocrats such as Manchester United, AC Milan, and Real Madrid, they are more like a group of bumpkins from the countryside. UEFA Cup champion? It's better not to make those wealthy families laugh about this title.

Even the media, the mouthpiece of the Porto team, began to criticize their team mercilessly. One can imagine how badly Porto played in this game.

Not to mention those Lisbon people who go to the show with a gloating mentality. They have been waiting for their old rivals to make a fool of themselves. This game has given them enough reasons to criticize the most direct competition in the league. opponent.

"To occupy the top spot in the Portuguese Super League is not a great achievement. One Champions League game brought them back to their original form."

Villarinho, the big mouth who has been in trouble recently, became restless again after watching this game. Perhaps seeing Porto lose on the field is his only pleasure now and the best way for him to relieve his nervous nerves.

It's just that the black-haired little guy scored again in the game. Every time when Lin Yi scored, Villarinho was the most uncomfortable. He always remembered the underwear that told him to get out and the middle finger that was raised high.

However, Mourinho chose to stand at the forefront of the team at this time. If his players did not perform well, he could shut the door and scold them, but if reporters and mortal enemies wanted to help, sorry, this uncle would not give you this opportunity.

What is your own player? That is, you can scold him 800 times a day, but as long as others say a bad word about him, you will immediately slap him.

"Criticism and accusation from Lisbon people? Excuse me, is a team that didn't even make it to the Champions League group stage qualified to laugh at others?"

Like Mourinho, Lin Yi's answer left the Lisbon media speechless. This kid is like this, either he doesn't talk or he chokes you to death.

All reporters who were ready to get words from him ended up being asked back by him and unable to answer, so Portuguese reporters basically knew a principle, that is, don't mess with that black-haired kid, otherwise, he will choke you to death with words.

Especially when you want to make trouble for him, you will always be bitten back by this kid, and his little face like a little boy will also be very fierce.

Porto has become the main topic of Portuguese football again because of this game. In addition to the quarrel with the mortal enemy, more fans are still discussing how it can get out of Group F. An unexpected draw has made them lose the two points they must get.

As the only representative of Portuguese football, some neutral fans still hope to see Porto get through the first round of games, at least that can earn some face for Portuguese football. Don't forget that the European Cup will soon start in Portugal.

Another game in Group F was uneventful, or there was no suspense. Real Madrid, who was preparing to hit its 10th Champions League, sat at the Bernabeu Stadium and defeated Marseille, who came to find trouble, with a neat 4:2.

Figo, Carlos, and Ronaldo opened their own goal accounts in this game, and the alien scored two goals. Real Madrid lost a goal in the first half, but relied on an extremely powerful attacking group to directly hit the French in the face with four goals.

The great Bald Zidane in the Real Madrid midfield assisted two of the goals. He personally planned to murder the club from France.

Real Madrid's strong state is obviously a warning to other opponents in Group F not to take any advantage from it. This terrifying Galaxy battleship cannot be stopped by anyone. Their goal is to plunder the championship trophy again.

If Porto still wants to get out of Group F, then the next two games with Marseille cannot be lost. At least they have to take 4 points from the French. Otherwise, they can only bite the super battleship of Real Madrid with their teeth.

However, Mourinho's team did not gain nothing. The little guy who saved the team in the last few seconds was the highlight in the eyes of many people. Lin Yi once again conquered those fans with his feet. His first show in the Champions League was not perfect, but it was definitely worth recalling.

In this game that many people regarded as the most unsuccessful game for Porto this season, this black-haired little guy began to shine in the European arena.

The last-minute volley saved the team almost at the moment when the 90-minute game entered the countdown. Lin Yi's precise shot became the biggest topic. From the League Cup final to the Champions League, the black-haired kid is writing his own legend.

But now Da Costa is obviously having a headache, because the black-haired kid has attracted more and more people's interest. Next season? Even Da Costa himself is not sure whether this kid will be publicly lured by others with a huge transfer fee during the winter transfer period.

The better Lin Yi performs, the farther he is from Portugal. The temptation of the five major leagues is far higher than that of the Portuguese Super League. Da Costa understands this very well.

And only by letting those outstanding guys go out can they gain more honors. If Figo had not left Portugal, would he still be the Footballer of the Year? Can he still be the well-deserved absolute number one in Portugal?

The answer must be no, so now Da Costa can only pray to God to let the boy stay in the team for a while longer. At least this season, Porto will keep this rising star, and the Champions League needs him. As for Lin Yi's future, no one knows.

Now the only thing that Porto can be thankful for is that they still have half a month to adjust their status, but the next opponent is really a headache. It is a derby game in the Iberian Peninsula. I don't know if the Spanish super battleship will crush the self-esteem of Porto people.

Head-on collision with the super luxurious Galaxy battleship, an absolutely unequal battle. . .

It's not even a single-digit number of votes, which is too disappointing... Uh, this subscription is really not enough for an average of 300, so depressing.)
