I Want to Be the King of Football

　　 The Alvalade Stadium on January 5 was brightly lit, as bright as daylight.

　　 There are no empty seats in the stands, with surging heads and loud noises.

　　 The performance of Sporting Lisbon this season was not ideal, especially at the beginning, which made the fans feel very dissatisfied.

　　Especially the loss of the Champions League qualifiers and the Super Cup, even more so that Bologna, the double champion coach, encountered a crisis of confidence.

Fortunately, as the season progressed, young players such as Sudong, Ronnie, Quaresma, Tonyto and Pepe gradually provoked the main players, although there are still major battles like Sudong and Nicolet in the process. , But overall, it's fairly stable.

　　 The Portuguese Super League ranked second, the UEFA Cup reached the top sixteen, and the Portuguese Cup has also been promoted successively. The three fronts go hand in hand. The team is in good condition. This also makes Sporting Lisbon fans place higher expectations on the team.

　　 For example, the Portuguese Super League should not just be satisfied with the second place.

　　 Work harder and pull the leader down?

　　 This is what the Green Lions fans expected when they walked into the Alvalade Stadium.

　　 The league is behind by seven points. If Porto can’t win this game and the opponents continue to expand their lead, then as the media said, the Portuguese Super League champions will lose their suspense early and become Porto’s possession.

　　 This is the last thing home fans want to see, but it is what some away fans who follow the team's expedition southward are looking forward to.

　　 Don’t think that there are not many fans in Porto’s expedition to Lisbon. They are also arranged in a remote corner by Sporting Lisbon. They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and at the same time are away. But they were not deterred, but they shouted with passion.

　　 There is still some time before the game started, but Porto fans are already chanting slogans uniformly.

　　 "Porto, champion!"

　　 Sporting Lisbon fans were also annoyed and started an organized counterattack.

　　 The scene was chaotic and deafening.

　　……

　　 The players of the two teams lined up and waited in the player tunnel to come out.

　　 are all Portuguese Super League teams and have many acquaintances with each other.

　　 What surprised Su Dong most was Pepe, who seemed to know a lot of people in Porto.

　　 Deco, Delle, and winger Clayton are all Brazilian players, among which Pepe and Deco are brothers.

　　 In Pepe’s words, the two of them left Brazil through the same channel. It is precisely because of Deco’s successful precedent that their fellow juniors followed and landed in the Portuguese Super League.

　　 At first, they talked happily, but gradually, the voice became a little louder.

　　 Especially Pepe, who seems to have returned to the team after making a ruthless sentence.

　　 "What's the matter?" Su Dong asked Pepe curiously.

"Nothing." Pepe shook her head, but soon thought of something, "Wait for a while, you have to be careful, Carvalho and the guy named Jorge Costa, playing very dirty. , There are many small movements and rough."

　　 Mourinho's team has a rough defense and aggressiveness, and Su Dong had learned it as early as last season.

　　 "Don't worry, I'm not easy to mess with." Su Dong smiled confidently.

　　 Peipei snorted coldly, "I have already told Dellai, if they dare to slay you, I will retaliate against their genius, how do they shovel you, I will shovel him!"

　　 Su Dong was taken aback when he heard it, and he dared to love them because this was noisy over there.

　　 In terms of fierceness and rudeness, Pepe said that he is second, and it is estimated that no one would dare to recognize the first.

　　 Every time this guy plays, he seems to be desperate against his opponent. He tries his best every time and fights every ball. His actions are very rough and brutal. He often wins cards and often provokes his opponent to yell at him.

　　 But that's weird.

　　 When Pepe was in Maritimo before, Sudong and Ronnie hated him for such fouls, but when he came to Sporting Lisbon and fouled his opponents, they felt quite enjoyable.

　　Ass decides the head!

　　Peppe’s Porto genius is Postiga. The striker has been righted this season, but his performance is not as good as McCarthy, so much so that there has been a voice in the Porto team that he wants to buy back the poorly performing McCarthy from La Liga.

　　 Last season, the two great talents of Portugal, Quaresma continued to move forward steadily, while Postiga was a little behind, even faintly surpassed by Ronnie.

　　Professional football is like this.

　　…………

　　…………

　　 Led by referee Lucilio Baptista, the two teams walked into the court slowly.

　　 At this moment, the Alvalade Stadium burst into cheers.

　　 The stadium broadcast is like the name of the dish, taking the lead in reporting Porto’s starting lineup.

Although Mourinho often uses a four-three-one-two forward formation, in the Portuguese Super League, they use the most four-three-three. This is obviously because Mourinho is strong enough for his team. Self-confidence.

　　 In the Portuguese Super League, which team can force Porto to use three midfielders.

The goalkeeper Baia, the defense line is Valente, Carvalho, Jorge Costa and Paul Ferreira, the three midfielders are Deco, Costinha and Maniche, and the frontcourt is Del. Lai is on the left, Postiga is in the center, and Capuccio is on the right.

　　 This is basically the main lineup of Porto this season.

　　 Although the midfield is a third midfielder, Deco's position has always been high, more like a midfielder.

　　Sporting Lisbon is also not too suspenseful.

The goalkeeper is Thiago, who has gradually replaced Nelson this season. The back line is Rui Jorge, Andre Cruz, Pepe and Queroga. The three midfielders are Rui Bento and Alberti. Ni and Barbosa, the frontcourt is a trident combination of Ronnie, Sudong and Quaresma.

　　 The offensive lineup is not suspense, the key lies in the midfielder.

　　 Boloni’s formation is also very consistent with his usual conservative and cautious characteristics. Taking Tonyto and adopting a three midfielder style of play, this is tantamount to indirectly telling everyone that the overall strength of Sporting Lisbon is not as good as Porto.

　　 Of course, this is also an accepted fact.

　　……

　　 With a whistle from Baptista, the game officially began.

　　 Porto has shown aggressive momentum from the beginning, which is also the biggest change since Mourinho took charge.

　　 In terms of mental outlook, Porto today is far more aggressive than last season.

　　 They are like hungry wolves, attacking Sporting Lisbon.

　　The striker presses up, the midfielder presses forward, the defense line pushes forward...

　　 This is Porto's high defense!

On the one hand, the overall strength of the team leads the Portuguese Super League. On the other hand, it is the current advanced European high-post defense and pressing tactics. The combination of the two, coupled with Mourinho’s more sophisticated and scientific training system, makes Porto perform in the Portuguese Super League. Out of amazing stability and combat effectiveness.

　　 To some extent, this season's Portuguese Super League team encountered Porto, and they were all beaten up like chickens.

　　 So far, the Portuguese Super League has played fifteen rounds, and no team has even beaten Porto. The same is true for the Portuguese Cup.

　　 Even in the UEFA Cup, Porto only lost two games. They both strategically gave up the away game after a big victory over their opponents in the first round.

　　 So, to some extent, no team has really beat Porto so far this season.

　　 This kind of strong self-confidence built through a long time victory, and Mourinho's aggressive tactics, made the whole Porto unstoppable.

　　 Even Su Dong has to admit that in terms of football, Porto is indeed the best team in the Portuguese Super League.

　　 can be used as an opponent, Su Dong’s task is to defeat Porto.

　　……

　　 From the beginning of the game, Su Dong felt Porto’s ubiquitous restrictions on him.

　　 He retreated, Carvalho always followed him, and Costinha was always around him.

　　 Because Porto occupies the midfield advantage, Sporting Lisbon's midfield can't be suppressed at all, so the single midfielder Costinha looks more like Carvalho, teaming up front and back to freeze Soto.

　　 And all the high balls, Jorge Costa always rushed up the first time.

　　 This 1.8-meter-high veteran has good jumping ability, and more importantly, he is very experienced, and he is quick to predict the course and the landing point.

　　 Two central defenders and a midfielder are like building a triangle prison, trapping Su Dong in it.

　　 Ronnie and Quaresma, who played bravely on the wing this season, also ran into trouble tonight.

　　 Especially Ronnie on the left.

　　Paul Ferreira played with Sporting Lisbon last season. This player is really good defensively and comprehensively. This makes Ronnie who sticks to the ball not much cheaper in front of him.

　　 Quaresma did the same with Valente.

　　 On the one hand, Sporting Lisbon’s offense was targeted to contain, and on the other hand, Porto’s offense targeted Sporting Lisbon’s left ~www.wuxiahere.com~ which is Rui Jorge’s side.

　　 Rui Jorge is not very young, mainly assists, defense is not his strong point, so Mourinho will focus on arranging Capuccio to attack the left side of Sporting Lisbon tonight.

　　 But Porto also encountered a problem, that is, their lack of support in the middle.

Postiga can’t replace McCarthy. Delle was targeted by Quiroga. Deco’s back-in was Porto’s most important scoring method this season, but Milan’s old captain Albertini personally targeted the Brazilian midfielder, Rui Ben To and Barbosa acted from the side, which made Sporting Lisbon's defense also very solid.

　　 The tactics of the two teams are full of pertinence, not only for the opponent as a whole, but also for the restriction of core players in local areas.

　　 This made the game scene more dull, and neither side had a good chance.

　　 But the competition is still fierce.

　　 In the fourteenth minute, Rui Jorge fouled while defending Capuccio and was shown a yellow card.

　　 Three minutes later, Jorge Costa fouled while marking Su Dong and received a yellow card.

　　 In the 22nd minute, Pepe fouled Deco and received another yellow card.

　　 When the two teams can't play with each other, then they can only fight hard to see who can't help making mistakes first.

　　 The dull game entered the second half, and there was still no improvement.

　　 Rui Bento got a yellow card for a foul when he was inserted after defending Costinha.

　　 Sixty minutes, Sporting Lisbon received four yellow cards and Porto only got one. The situation can be seen.

　　Yellow cards are like handcuffs. With handcuffs on, your performance will naturally be restricted.

　　 Everyone can see that Sporting Lisbon is getting worse and worse.
