In the first round of the Portuguese Super League season, Porto played Guimarães at home, and finally Porto defeated Guimaraes with a score of 4:0, giving themselves a good start to the new season. In his post-match press conference, Guimaraes' head coach also said he was convinced: "The team that played better won the game, it's as simple as that. Although there is a lack of tacit understanding in some small details, this is quite normal. They have played a completely different tactic for the new season, with new players coming in, and I'm sure that will be resolved soon as the season progresses.

I have to say that Mr. Mourinho has done a very good job. In this Porto, I see the champions and they will be strong contenders for the Portuguese Super League title this season. Remaia also showed his quality, today he was completely in control of the tempo of the game, led us by the nose and played very good statistics. I don't think the Portuguese national team will have to worry about the choice of its midfield commander for the next 10 years. “

In the face of Coach Guimaraes' statement, Mourinho also took advantage of the situation to stage a good buddy, saying that Guimaraes is also a very competitive team. When asked about Lao Lei, Mourinho did not hesitate to praise him, saying that Lao Lei played a quality game. The first press conference of the season ended in a harmonious atmosphere. In the sports newspaper the next day, Remaia, Mourinho and Porto became the three most frequent terms. Among them, for Lao Lei's performance, many media have crowned him with the new titles of "Heart of the Dragon" and "Porto Engine".

And the city of Porto. There is even a sports program that specially invited several football experts to give a detailed explanation of Lao Lei's performance. Every pass. Every offensive choice, every forward cut. I explain it in detail. It made a group of fans who watched the excitement increase a lot of football knowledge and at the same time took another step forward on the road to becoming a diehard fan of Lao Lei.

However, compared to the praise and harmony on Porto's side, the other two giants of the Portuguese Super League have not had such a good time. Sporting Lisbon's performance against underdogs Maritimo in the first round shocked everyone. In this game, Sporting Lisbon did not show the invincible momentum of last season, but was overwhelmed by Maritimo who retreated from the defense, and the attack was lackluster. Jardel, who scored 42 goals last season, was just six minutes into the game. He was tackled by Maritimo's defender and the injury is unknown. Without the prolific goalscorer's role as an arrow up front, Sporting Lisbon's attack appeared directionless, like a headless fly, scrambling around.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Maritimo also led Sporting Lisbon with a successful counter-attack, forcing them into a corner. In the end, in the 67th and 83rd minutes respectively, relying on the goals of Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, they finally narrowly defeated Maritimo away. After the game the head coaches of both sides. There was a big war of words over Jadel's injury, and it was lively. Regardless, however, Sporting Lisbon's performance was unconvincing, and it could compete with Porto for the Portuguese Super League title.

And on the other side of Benfica. It's also not going well. Although after the World Cup, they are constantly moving and attracting enough eyeballs. The first is to bring the former striker Gomez back to the Stadium of Light. Benfica took advantage of the fact that Fiorentina, one of the seven sisters of Serie A, declared bankruptcy. Re-recruit Gomez into his command. All Benfica fans were boiling over the moment the transfer was announced, and everyone was fantasizing that Gomez could lead Benfica back to glory. Besides. They also brought in Camacho, who ended his career as head coach of the Spanish national team after the World Cup.

Such a succession of big moves made Benfica highly favored before the game. However, judging by the results of the first round. The truth is not as rosy as Benfica fans imagined. In the first round against Saibatur, Benfica were stubbornly held to a draw by Saibatur at home, and the two teams exchanged scores. Throughout the game, Benfica's style of play looked a bit chaotic and unstructured. And Gomez, who had high hopes, also missed opportunities repeatedly in the debut of his return, and his performance was bleak. If it were a normal day, Benfica might have been able to explain the result of this game with the excuse that it needed more time to grind. However, with Porto's performance in the lead, Benfica's performance has attracted a wave of distrust.

"Okay, I'm hanging." Old Ray laughed and hung up Claudia's phone. Since dinner that day, although Claudia has not come out to meet Lao Lei again due to work reasons, a phone call before going to bed every day is indispensable. After hanging up Claudia's phone, Old Ray flipped out Kayla's phone in his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment but still called, but the call was unanswered. Old Lei stupidly threw the phone aside, and then he entered the system and started tonight's training. The crack between the romance between Old Ray and Kayla began to slowly get bigger and bigger.

After the first round of the league, Porto temporarily accumulated three points and topped the Portuguese Super League standings with a goal difference of four. In the first month of the league season, Porto were greeted by a relatively relaxed schedule. The opponents in the next three rounds are not strong enough to pose a threat to Porto. Porto will face promoted Gil Vicente and O'Hannes in the second and third rounds before returning home to face Bellamar in the fourth round. However, after the first four games of relatively easy games, Porto are about to have a busy schedule. In addition to the league, the Portuguese Cup and the Europa League will start one after the other. In order to prepare for the next fixtures, Mourinho began to adjust the playing time of his players in these four rounds of the league.

In the away game against promoted Maj Vicente, Deco, McCarthy and Alenichev all played just 60 minutes. Before 60 minutes, Porto successfully sealed their second win of the season with a score of 3-0, and successfully secured three points. In the 11th minute of the first half, Gil Vicente's goal was broken. Lao Lei received Deco's ball with his back to Gil Vicente's goal in the front court, and under the interference of Gil Vicente's defenders, he turned around against the football and immediately sent a precise through stopper. The ball passed through the gap between the defenders, and McCarthy swerved and stepped forward to form an offside position, and without adjustment, he pushed directly to help Porto break the deadlock first.

Then, in the 33rd minute of the first half, Deco assisted Maniche to score a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, changing the score to 2:0. Then after halftime, at the beginning of the second half, Lao Lei used accurate long passes to create a killing opportunity again. McCarthy flicked Gil Vicente's defender and headed the ball to Alenichev, who burst into the box and fired a powerful shot to make it 3-0.

In the rematch, Porto travelled to the Stadio Jose and challenged Ohannes away. Compared to the opponents in the first two rounds, Ohannes is significantly stronger. At O'Hannes' home turf, Porto is no longer as easy as the first two rounds. Although in the 7th minute of the game, Lao Lei relied on a long-range shot to score his first goal in Porto. But just five minutes later, Ohannes was back in color. Deco, Ray, and McCarthy made mistakes in their coordination, and were cut off by Ohannes' defenders and launched a quick counterattack.

Porto's backline showed a noticeable lack of preparation and concentration. In the penalty area, he missed the midfielder who cut in front of him, allowing him to easily get a cross from his team-mate and get his header home. Thus, Porto got their first goal of the season. Jose Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, expressed his frustration and felt that the backline was largely responsible for the goal conceded.

And after the equaliser, O'Hannes set up a bus formation at home. With the help of the cheers of the home fans and the home advantage, Ohannes used a tenacious defense to keep Porto's attack out again and again. It wasn't until the 71st minute of the second half that Porto went beyond the score again with a corner. After the corner, Costa fought for the first point and scored a beautiful header. O'Hannes' goalkeeper did his best to keep the shot out, and McCarthy scrambled to finish before O'Hannes' players could clear the ball. It's a pity that this follow-up shot was finally blocked by Ohennes's defenders on the goal line with their bodies.

However, the football did not go out of the penalty area, and after a chaotic battle in the penalty area, the football fell in front of Lao Lei by mistake. This time, Lao Lei's powerful volley finally helped Porto exceed the score again and complete the brace of the game.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Remayr! Remayr!! A powerful kick slammed the door open to Ohannes again. When the team was in a tough battle, he stepped up again. 'The goal here was a relief for the Porto fans in front of the TV and it was a tough game that they all expected.

Porto finally got three points with two goals from Lao Lei and continued to lead the standings. However, after the game, Mourinho was still harshly critical of his players. He thinks that the recent media praise has made his disciples a little fluttery, and they need to be beaten well.

And the beating proved to be effective. In the home game against Bellamar, Porto's players bounced together and won the opponent with a score of 2-0 and managed to take three points. Porto started the new season with four wins in a row. In the game, Lao Lei did not get assists and goals, but he instigated the offensive of all two goals and helped the team win the opponent steadily.

And in this game, Porto did not send all the main lineup, Alenichev and McCarthy sat on the bench. The aim was to prepare for the first match of the first leg of the Europa League three days later, at home to the Poles in Warsaw.

Lao Lei ushered in his first appearance in European competitions. (To be continued......)
