Now it's in Leo. Stade Ave, where the 11th round of the Portuguese Super League is underway. The team of Rio Ave has a very special nickname, and its fans call it "The Big River". The reason is that this is a team that advocates attack, which is already their tradition, and the team's attack is like a big river, flowing endlessly. In a way, Mourinho is exactly what he needs at this time. His new tactical content and style of play need to be tested in actual combat on this kind of team that does not pay much attention to defense, and will give the players a good opportunity to get acquainted with it.

At this time, the Rio Ave stadium was huge. Because of the attacking nature of the team, their fans are always in a passionate state of mind, and you will never hear a moment of silence in this home stadium. Leiria's visit has stimulated the fans here, and the miracle of Leiria's small club has spread throughout Portuguese football and has become the focus of attention of many fans. Rio Ave fans hope that their team can face this team that is high-spirited, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and when you are famous, you will become the target of everyone's attacks for no reason.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Rio Ave's players took the lead in attacking on their home turf. At the beginning of the game, he frantically suppressed the formation of an encirclement and suppression of Leiria. In this game, Leiria's Railo and Ivan did not play, and both of them were found to be in a state of extreme fatigue after being examined by the team doctor. The absence of Raio has brought great hidden dangers to Leiria's defence, and no team will easily change their starting choice at the back. In the arrangement of the back line, the players complement each other and change defenses, in addition to rich experience, but also by a good degree of tacit understanding as the basis. Just eight minutes into the game, Leiria suffered from it.

The centre-back, who came from the substitute for Raio, had a problem judging where to land when dealing with Rio Ave's high ball from half-time. He stepped up to the top, and it was a free gift for Rio Ave's strikers. After his ball, there is a huge gap in front of him, which allows him to do whatever he wants.

At this time, Ben had to leave the player he should be marking and run over to fill the position. At this time, the striker of Rio Ave, who instinctively chased the ball, did not pay attention to the player who was marked. The striker of Rio Avey, on the other hand, caught the gap and made a diagonal pass to create a one-on-one chance for the unguarded teammate. The player made the last blow of the net, and Lemato in the box easily pushed it into the net. At 1:0, Rio Ave gave Leiria a dismount, and if you want to win, take it yourself.

After 10 minutes, Rio Ave's attack receded and Leiria's chance to counter-attack came. Old Ray is responsible for the control of the rhythm in the backfield, André is mainly responsible for the deadly pass at the back of the field, and the position of Ugo and Bruno is closer to the middle, which is the current central axis of Leiria.

After the match between Setúbal and Sporting Lisbon, Lao Lei was already a calm person when he kicked the ball in front of defenders. The frontcourt pressing of a team like Rio Ave hardly poses any trouble for Lao Lei.

Under the interspersed running of Lao Lei, Leiria's running ball is very smooth, and gradually the enthusiasm of Rio Ave's frontcourt players can not be maintained, after all, being carried away like a dog does not play a role, so no one's enthusiasm will be high.

After a few games as the core of the organization, Lao Lei keenly grasped Rio Ave's lax state, which is a fighter. In a situation where there was no player from Rio Ave to defend, Lao Lei found Ugo on the left side of the front with a long pass. A sudden long ball attack left Rio Ave's defenders a little mentally ill-prepared. After winning the ball, Hugo took a few steps into the box and when he caught the attention of Rio Ave's backline, a return pass found Andre in the middle.

Andre, who is closer to the opposition penalty area than the midfielder, has greatly increased his threat to the opposition goal. Andre, who has a full range of skills, can pass, shoot, and defend. This allows Leiria to have the ability to play positional battles in the front court, but in the past, he relied on the back and forth impact of the three of Ivan, and now the attack method is more diversified.

Now after Andre gets the ball, it is directly a pick pass, looking for Bruno who is in front. It was an anti-offside position, and Bruno faced the onrushing goalkeeper with a light pick. 1:1, in the 20th minute, Leiria equalized, an attack led by Lao Lei.

Looking at the old Ray who was in command on the field, Brito said to Mourinho with a smile: "The speed of progress of Reima is really amazing, and now he can do a good job in the position of the organization." It reminds me of when I was training his short passes and dribbling, and that was the case at that time. ”

"Yes, it's a good thing to have such a disciple. At this rate of progress, Reima will soon make a presence in Europe. Mourinho said with some relief.

"Have you ever thought about taking him to Porto. To get to this kind of power, you need the support of your own descendants in the locker room. And it just so happens that a small club like Leiria is certainly not the place where Rema should stay for long, if he can follow you to Porto. It's a good thing for both of you. ”

"I haven't mentioned it to him yet. When it comes to the end of the season, who knows if there will be any accidents, everything will wait until the end of the season. ”

Leiria and Rio Ave, who lost Laio, played attacking football, and the defence was pressed very high, and the two sides fought fiercely near the midfield, without the slightest sign of weakness or retreat. In terms of strength, Leiria still has a slight upper hand, but due to the run-in problems that still exist in the new tactics, Leiria has lost a lot of offensive opportunities.

In the 25th minute, Lao Lei suddenly stepped forward and played a one-two-one match with Andre, which is their usual coordination style in training in the past few days. However, Andre's subsequent direct pass did not form the necessary tacit understanding with Ugo. Ugo still habitually pulled to the side, and did not move forward into the penalty area. If this combination is successful, it will be another excellent one-knife opportunity.

When Ivan and Raio are not there, there is also a disadvantage that is the competition for set-pieces. Corners and free kicks sent to the penalty area, the scramble for the first drop point fell into the disadvantage, all of them did not seize the opportunity, the tall old Lei did not have any ability in the header, only the role of blocking people and pulling. After the most André also had to take a lot of free kicks directly on goal. However, with Andre's footwork, he was still a little less enthusiastic in the direct attack of the free kick.

Because of this, Rio Ave was able to play his small moves unscrupulously when his own half was unfavorable. The action is well controlled, it can just disrupt the attack, and you don't have to get a yellow card. It's this defensive strategy that makes it difficult for Leiria to attack up front.

Seeing that the team's attack was blocked, Mourinho came to the sidelines and shouted: "Reima, Reima. While shouting, he also pointed to Rio Ave's half, signaling Lao Lei to increase the number and intensity of insertion when attacking. Lao Lei nodded at Mourinho and signaled that Zhilu had said.

In the 35th minute, Lao Lei received a cross from Carrabar in the midfield. First, he slammed the ball with his right foot, and the ball changed direction and rolled towards Lao Lei's left foot. The center of gravity of Rio Ave's defenders immediately shifted to the left, because Lao Lei had been thoroughly studied by the head coaches of various teams, and found that Lao Lei's outstanding Fang Shi was always simple and direct, and even the basic change of direction was rare.

But this time it was different, the ankle of Lao Lei's left foot turned outward, and the football rolled forward along his left foot. At this time, the center of gravity of the defender is still in a state of translation, and it is too late to adjust the posture. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lao Lei accelerated forward to break through the defender, and at the same time waved his right hand back, knocking out the hand he reached for his jersey. After the breakthrough, Lao Lei looked at the open field in front of him, and felt relieved, his breakthrough in the past was to wait for the other party's physical strength to be insufficient, so that he could stage the feeling of doing whatever he wanted now.

"Croquettes!" The commentators were all surprised. Perhaps no matter who made this move on the court, they would not be surprised, but Lao Lei was an exception. With Lao Lei's continuous brilliant performances, Lao Lei's technical characteristics have always been the attention of major sports newspapers. From the former pure defensive giant, to the organizer, from the unreliable long pass to the ability to launch a long pass attack, and now it can break through in the conventional state, every time Lao Lei uses his fast attack is a surprise to everyone.

After breaking through, Lao Lei found Andre to cooperate. The two used successive passes to completely shake off the opposing defenders. Afterwards, Andre fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box to open Rio Ave again.

In the ensuing games, neither side scored again. The first half ended 2-1. In the second half of the game, the Leiria team continued to dominate, but due to coordination problems, they did not break through Rio Ave's goal again. And Lao Lei's breakthrough did not achieve good results after being noticed by Rio Avi. After all, this move is not difficult to defend, and Lao Lei has not reached a very mature point in this move now, and the threat is still not great.

It's a truth that there is a penalty for consistently wasting good chances in the game. Leiria, who continued to waste good chances, was equalised by Rio Ave in the 70th minute of the game. was cut off by a mistake in the front court, and this time Rio Ave took a direct long pass with a big foot, and Lao Lei didn't have time to interfere at all.

The Rio Ave striker grabbed the ball and fired a long-range shot straight from outside the box. Playing at the level of the world's waves, Lemato had no way to do it, and the ball drilled into the corner of the upper right corner. This is a fairy ball, and Mourinho also spread his hands to show helplessness.

In the following games, despite the help of the devil's muscles, it did not help the team change the score. Rio Ave stepped up Ray's defense, leaving Leiria's organization chaotic and denied a good chance. André's form slipped in the second half, and it can be seen that the impact of the injury on him has not fully recovered, at least not in the best physical condition. Leiria, who was incomplete in this game, was held to a draw away by Rio Ave and tasted the first draw of the new season 2:2. Behind them, Sporting Lisbon comfortably beat the national team 2-0 and followed closely by three points.

There was no time to do too much rest, and Lao Lei and they had to go non-stop to challenge Morerence away. And the devil's race has just begun.
