Mourinho shook his head, put the problem aside for the time being, and said in his heart that it would be said when the time came, the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, and he would talk about it when he saw the situation. However, the fans of Leiria are undoubtedly the happiest people at this time, and they are not interested in the schedule and the line-up, which is the job of the manager.

With two games remaining, they will be able to touch the title for the first time in Leiria's history, and it will be the first time in Leiria's history that they have won the title of a top-level domestic competition. And this Leiria team has given them the capital to do this dream, and now there is no team in Portugal that can say that they are sure to win this team. Magalhais Stadium had become their best place to celebrate, with Leiria's anthem reverberating over the stadium for a long time.

Three days after the end of this match, the 19th round of the Portuguese Super League started again. Leiria will be in Dos. The Bareiros Stadium travels to Maritimo, Sporting Lisbon's opponent in the previous round. This is the second meeting between the two teams, having met at the start of the season when Leiria narrowly beat Maritimo 1-0.

This time, facing Leiria, who was well-rested mentally and physically, Maritimo adopted a strategy of firmly retracting the defense and playing counter-attacks. They are already familiar with this set, and after Leiria's amazing form and results this season, opponents often use this strategy against Leiria.

However, after more than half a season, Leiria's progress and Lao Lei's progress are obviously incomparable. In the face of this kind of defense, they appeared to be calm and comfortable, using their own passes to dispatch Maritimo's defense, patiently looking for opportunities to attack.

Soon in the 15th minute, Ray found a good opportunity to see the gap between Maritimo's left wing-back and centre-back. Push directly behind him, allowing Ugo to blast their defenses with his own speed. When the person arrives, the ball arrives, in addition to the tacit understanding between the players, Lao Lei's long passing skills also show his own level. Lao Lei looked at his passing, and was very relieved, four hours, thousands of long passes are not in vain.

As long as Hugo is good, it will be a good opportunity, but unfortunately Maritimo's central defender is decisive and reaches out and pulls Hugola to the ground. The ensuing free-kick ended with McCarthy pushing the ball off the line. In turn, when it was Maritimo's turn to attack, when their midfielders tried to break through Lao Lei, Lao Lei didn't say a word and directly leaned on the top of his body, and the force was not small, knocking the opponent's midfielder to the ground.

It's not that Lao Lei can't put it down before he uses foul action, Lao Lei is intentional. This has almost become Lao Lei's habitual move, giving the opposing offensive player at the beginning of the game, come like this. You can call this a dismount, so that the opposing players do not dare to make random moves in front of you, of course, the effect is different. Sometimes it does receive such an effect, of course, there will be a little bit of intimidation, no response, or even more energetic. What Lao Lei is most afraid of is the kind of unresponsive, there is no emotional fluctuation, and the actions he does are meaningless. For the more energetic, Lao Lei's approach is very simple, countering violence with violence, suppressing strongly, and waiting for them to make mistakes and waste offensive opportunities because they are not calm. This often results in twice the result with half the effort on the playing field.

The game was clearly out of the range, with Maritimo's players appearing calm and not showing a hint of emotional instability. Maritimo plays cautiously, does not use too many numbers when attacking, and always puts defense first. To deal with such an opponent, Leiria can only eat the opponent slowly, and he can't eat a single bite.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Leiria took a chance. Lao Lei continued to run on his own, and the midfielder intercepted Maritimo's pass. At this time, Maritimo's midfielders were very active in delaying Lao Lei's first pass, in order to reduce the speed and threat of Leiria's counterattack. He blocked in front of Lao Lei, covering Lao Lei's passing vision, trying to force Lao Lei to adjust.

At this time, Leiria's counterattack tactics flashed through Lao Lei's mind, and at this time Ugo should be ready to insert on the left. Lao Lei didn't look at the left, and a big-footed long pass looked for Ugo on the left, and with the habits and speed of Ugo in previous games, he roughly estimated a position. And Maritimo's midfielder obviously didn't talk about Lao Lei going straight to the big shot, because he didn't see Lao Lei looking up to observe the situation on the left side. stretched out his feet in a hurry, but did not block Lao Lei's pass.

'Remaia made a long pass to the left, I didn't see him looking at the left. And it seems that there are no players on the left side. It was a mistake. ...................No, wait. Ugo, it's Ugo that's plugging in quickly. How Remaya saw him, it's incredible. Amid the exclamations of the commentators and the home fans, Ugo caught up with the football, and in front of him was an open field with plenty of room to play.

After Ugo brought the ball to the edge of the box, in front of Maritimo's defender, a beautiful back-heel bump cut straight inside. This time Maritimo was unexpected, and Hugo broke through the defenders with ease. At the edge of the penalty area, he raised his right foot and made a long-range shot. It was a feint, and after luring a defender out, a through ball found McCarthy in the box. McCarthy receives the ball and hits the goal from a tight angle. 1:0, Leiria took the lead away from home.

"It was a typical Leiria counter-attack, no more than three touches of the ball to form a shot. In Mourinho's tactical system, this counter-attack is the real core. It was a brilliant getaway and pass from Hugo and McCarthy's shot, but it was Remaier's pass that was the highlight of the goal. How the hell did he see Ugo on the left? ”

With a goal in hand, the rest of the game was simple, and Leiria was in complete control of the game. In the second half, Bruno's long-range strike gave Leiria a two-goal lead. Maritimo only pulled a goal back in stoppage time. With a score of 2:1, Leiria won and held Sporting Lisbon tightly.

And the next day, Sporting Lisbon also won the game with a score of 2-0 against Rio Ave. In the standings, the two teams continue to be in 1st and 2nd place with a two-point gap. In the eyes of the Portuguese media at this time, this year's Portuguese Super League title is a competition between Leiria and Sporting Lisbon. With 10 rounds of league remaining, the media believe that Benfica and Porto will only be able to qualify for the UEFA Cup this season, given the form of Leiria and Sporting Lisbon. However, the intensity of the ensuing competition was still beyond the expectations of most of the media.

Here, Leiria beat the visiting Ohannes 3-1 at home, and Sporting Lisbon beat Braga 2-1 away. In the next five rounds, both teams won five in a row. With only five rounds left in the league, the rivalry between the two teams has reached a fever pitch. Both teams are already unstoppable in their frenzied quest for points, and the other 14 teams in the Portuguese Super League have become spectators and spectators for them, and this is the season of the duo of Leiria and Sporting Lisbon.

According to the words of the media: "The two teams are like reaching the acceleration stage of the marathon, at this time, whoever falls behind first will lose the championship." Based on the current situation between the two teams, we expect that the league title will likely be won in the last two rounds of the league. In the final two rounds of the league, Leiria will face Benfica and Sporting Lisbon respectively. In addition to facing Leiria in the last round, Sporting Lisbon will also face Porto in the penultimate round. This is the season of the Portuguese Super League in 10 years, and the title competition is the most intense. The two teams do not give in to each other, and the competitive mood is pervasive between the two teams and the two cities.

What is even more exciting is that in the Portuguese Cup, Leiria and Sporting Lisbon. They will face Maritimo and Saibatur respectively if they defeat their respective opponents. The league title rivals will continue their rivalry in the final of the Portuguese Cup. For us, the best thing to do is to have two games in a row to decide two titles. Portuguese Super League Champion and Portuguese Cup Champion. Two games, two titles, that will be a rare event in Portuguese football in recent years. “

The media push and the rivalry between the two clubs have left fans all over Portugal hoping that what the media predicted would happen. Of course, it is a question of whether Maritimo and Saibatur say yes or not, although these two teams are slightly weaker in comparison, but football matches can happen anything. The Portuguese Cup is undoubtedly a great honour for these teams with no hope of winning the league, especially since they have reached the semi-finals.

Leiria and Sporting Lisbon won't have it that easy. At this time, Mourinho is also worried about the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup. The league title race has come to this point, and Leiria should have given up on the Portuguese Cup if he was more sensible, otherwise it would likely affect the league battle and lead to a loss for both sides. This is a very common statement among experts from the outside world at the moment, and even Mourinho is currently a little timid and hesitant because of this.

Mourinho, who had a little pain in his head, walked out of his office and came to the training ground to take a break. He saw Lao Lei, who was still "banging" on the training ground, sweating and practicing long passes, and shouted: "Lei Ma, come here." ”

In response to Mourinho's call, Lao Lei naturally ran over and asked, "What's the matter?" Head. ”

Looking at the sweaty old Lei, Mourinho's heart suddenly moved, and asked: "Reima, if it were you, would you give up another less influential champion who has a hope of winning the championship because of a more influential champion." “

When Lao Lei heard this question, his mind was stunned, and he looked at Mourinho's sincere gaze. Lowering his head and thinking about it, he also knew the meaning of Mourinho's question. However, he didn't think about this question himself, and scratched his head and thought about it for a while. Lao Lei raised his head and replied: "Head, I will fight for both championships." I'm going to do it all. “

"Why? It's likely to lose both. “

"Head. We are strong. “

Lao Lei interrupted Mourinho's words and said very firmly and directly.

Mourinho was a little surprised by Lao Lei's question, and looked at Lao Lei's determined and confident gaze. He suddenly figured it out in his heart, yes, his team is very strong, when did he become so timid. It's not my style, it seems that it's still the pressure of grades, which makes me suffer from gains and losses. Mourinho figured it out.

"Hahaha, that's right. We are strong! Since it is very strong, it is natural that both champions can be wanted. After Mourinho figured it out, he felt a sigh of relief in his chest and smiled.

"Don't practice, Reima, go back and rest. We have two championships! “

"Yes. Head. “

The dusk sprinkled on this pair of self-confident master and apprentice, which was golden and represented honor.
