PS: In the last few chapters, because of Lao Lei's emotional drama, it has been a little messy. Writing emotional dramas is really not what weeping ghosts are good at. It's better to hurry back to the game.

In the end, the match ended with Porto's six-goal victory over the Poles in Warsaw, and the Porto fans watched their own team's slaughter show with excitement throughout the game. In the 78th minute of the game, Ivan, who came on as a substitute, received a clever through ball from Deco and went on the next trip. At the post-match press conference, the Pole manager in Warsaw claimed that he did not attend due to physical reasons, and the whole press conference became a one-man show for Mourinho.

This joyful victory also made Mourinho, who has never had a good impression of reporters, rarely spend the whole press conference with a smiling face. After this game, it will undoubtedly make the next leg of the home game of the Poles in Warsaw meaningless, which is undoubtedly good news for Porto, who will be attacking on the third line this season. Jose Mourinho has decided to use the game to make a massive rotation and plan the physical fitness of his players for long-term goals.

In the news report the next day, Porto's 6-0 victory attracted great attention in Portugal, even in European football. The competitiveness of a team that can play in European competitions, no matter how weak the league is, is recognized. Because of this, Porto's 6-0 victory shows Porto's extraordinary strength. And Lao Lei, an important direct participant in this massacre, once again showed his face in European football and became famous.

Lao Lei's fame accumulated in the World Cup has been slowly forgotten by fans. If Lao Lei takes advantage of the superior performance in the World Cup this summer. If he landed in one of the giants of the English, Spanish and Italian leagues, then he should have already been the focus of European football by now. However, he chose to stay in Portugal. Naturally, the attention of the Portuguese Super League is not so high. Except for some clubs that are still not giving up, forgetful fans have long begun to slowly blur about Lao Lei. This Europa League match. will continue to awaken the memory of their World Cup. The inflated fame because of the World Cup began to slowly become solidified, and outside of Portugal, Lao Lei began to slowly have his own influence.

On the second day after the game, Lao Lei, who came downstairs to breakfast, saw the headline of the newspaper news in Joseph's hand, "6 climaxes of the dragon course". Lao Lei, who was in a good mood, smiled, and just last night he received another call from Kayla, and learned from the phone. In the coming week, Kayla will have fewer scenes, and she will have more time to communicate with Ray. This news undoubtedly made the resentful man Lao Lei's heart like a flower. Today Lao Lei can have another day off, and tomorrow he will go with the team to Villado Conde to prepare for the 5th round of the Portuguese Super League away against Rio Ave.

Porto's schedule has been really not easy in recent times, and after playing Rio Ave, the Portuguese Cup will be ushered in soon. Then the sixth round of the league will be the main event, with Porto hosting Sporting Lisbon. At present, in the Portuguese Super League standings, Porto is at the top of the table with 12 points with a record of four wins. Followed by Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. They ranked second and third with 10 points and 9 points. As things stand, the sixth round is likely to be a game-changer in the standings. Faced with this situation, Mourinho is determined to win. In addition to competitiveness. That's because in terms of this season's schedule, Porto, who are on the third line, can only play the role of a leader in the league, in case it becomes a chaser. There's a good chance you'll end up being dragged down.

It was the evening of September 20 at the Rio Ave Stadium. Porto and Rio Ave were already in their positions, just waiting for the referee's whistle to blow. Rio Ave is another must-win opponent for Porto. Because for Porto, who have to make a difference on all three fronts. There are very few opportunities to make mistakes in the league, and one of those mistakes is not getting the three points they deserve against a team like Rio Ave who have long been in the bottom half of the Portuguese Super League.

Deco and McCarthy were put on the bench for Jose Mourinho's schedule, so Ray will need to take more responsibility for this game. If in the previous game, Deco shared a large part of the pressure on Lao Lei in the front court, then this game he will return to the situation of Leiria's shoulder, at least in attack. He had to control, sort out and organise Porto's attack by himself.

Seeing a lineup like Porto, Rio Ave did not hesitate to put more defensive energy on Lao Lei, in addition to configuring Lao Lei with a special follower in the midfield, as long as Lao Lei passed the midfield, he would face the two. This kind of treatment made Lao Lei feel like he had returned to Leiria for a while. Within minutes of the game, Ray was back to picking up the full run of the Leiria period, and then the whole team revolved around him.

In the Portuguese national team and Porto, due to the two excellent forwards of Rui Costa and Deco in the frontfield, it is limited or not necessary to run like Lao Lei. At this time, Deco was not present, but it just provided Lao Lei with this opportunity to relive the old dream. In order to cooperate with Lao Lei's style of play, Mourinho also deliberately replaced Deco's position with a defensive midfielder, so that Lao Lei can actively cooperate with Lao Lei to counterattack whether he is in the midfield or in the backfield.

Although this arrangement is a bit of a loss for Porto's offense, it does have a good effect on the defensive end. In addition to the strong pressing at the back, Porto can also press high up front with the addition of this defensive midfielder. Maniche himself also has good defensive ability, and the pressing combination composed of three people from him, Lao Lei and a defensive midfielder directly paralyzed Rio Avey's backfield organizational ability. This has also led directly to a significant decrease in the offensive threat of Rio Ave. Jose Mourinho is happy with the result, and for Porto, who play in the third line, consistency is paramount, and a good defence can provide enough consistency.

Besides, although a part of the attack power is sacrificed. But Mourinho believes that Lao Lei will not disappoint him, and Lao Lei did not disappoint Mourinho. In the 17th minute of the first half. Lao Ray and Maniche teamed up to break the ball in front of Rio Ave. He then played a one-two with Maniche and got rid of the defenders who came to intercept him. Then dribble the ball straight into the middle.

Ivan, who came on as a substitute for McCarthy, pulled out of the penalty area very tacitly and made a collision with Lao Lei. Although the two have not played together for a long time, they have quickly regained the cooperation of the Leiria era since Lao Lei arrived in Porto. In the face of Lao Lei's nudge of the pass, Ivan stepped on the momentum and pulled back directly, creating an opportunity for Lao Lei to step forward and face the opponent's goalkeeper directly. In the process of chasing the ball, Lao Lei jumped lightly. Escaping a tactical foul by a Rio Ave player, he rushed straight into the box and faced the goal directly. Facing the opposing goalkeeper, Lao Lei calmly nudged the Rio Ave goalkeeper's feet, and the football rolled from the near post into the Rio Ave goal. Due to the proximity, Rio Ave's goalkeeper could not fall to the ground and could not do anything. Lao Lei helped Porto break the deadlock and led Rio Ave 1-0 away.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Reima took the lead in helping the team break the deadlock. Porto's aggressive pressing up front had already been a brilliant counter-attack on the spot. It's a counter-attack again, and Porto have set off a storm of counter-attacks this season. It's hard to stop it so far. Seeing that the goal was scored, Mourinho shook his fist lightly and the game was won.

In the next game, Rio Ave paid attention though. Porto were not given another chance to break the ball up front and counter-attack. But equally, their attack was still unable to threaten Porto in the early game. Faced with such a situation. Lao Lei was not in a hurry to continue to strengthen the firepower of the offensive, so he maintained this stalemate and balanced situation. Lao Lei believed that he was in the back. When Rio Ave couldn't sit still and pressed out, there was a good opportunity. Try to win the game as easily as possible, which is also an extra requirement for Mourinho to the old Reti.

And things were just as Lao Lei thought, in the 65th minute of the second half, Rio Ave finally couldn't sit still and pressed out to attack. This is also the opportunity that Lao Lei is waiting for. In the 71st minute of the second half, Lao Lei faced Rio Ave's players in the front court, directly carried away the opposing players with his body, and grabbed the ball. And then it was a big foot and hit the gap in the Rio Ave half. At this time, Ivan had already tacitly started running. It was a quick tackle, a pass, a run, and a chance for Ivan to get a one-on-one chance before Rio Ave's defence could come to his senses. Ivan faced the goalkeeper of Rio Ave and calmly pushed the far corner to score, rewriting the score to 2:0, which can be regarded as Lao Lei's return assist. Porto once again succeeded with a counter-attack, which left the head coach of Rio Ave helpless, which was too fast and too sharp.

In the end, Porto easily won Rio Ave away from home with two goals from Lao Lei and Ivan, and achieved an excellent result of 5 league games and 6 consecutive wins in the season. In the same round that followed, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica also won their opponents and continued to bite Porto. This season's Portuguese Super League has once again become a drama of the three-nation hegemony of the traditional Portuguese Super League.

In the Portuguese Cup a few days later, Lao Lei was put in the stands by Mourinho, and it was Lao Lei's turn to rest for a game. Porto, under the leadership of Deco, won a clean 3-0 victory over the Portuguese team Mafra and successfully advanced to the next round.

After this game, Porto started the new season with seven consecutive wins and no defeat. Scored 22 goals and conceded only one goal in seven games. Even if there is a reason why the opponent in the game is slightly weaker, such a performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has already made the media exclaim, who will stop the dragon of Porto.

Sporting Lisbon has become the first choice of the media, and it will have a direct dialogue with Porto at the Stadio de la Dirón in the sixth round of the Portuguese Super League.

Whether Sporting Lisbon upset Porto away or Porto continue their winning journey has become the focus of attention across Portugal.

Porto also had their first real test of the new season. (To be continued......)
