Against Kivicente, Mourinho made a rotation at the start of the second half, and Lao Lei was also substituted. In the second half, both sides lost the motivation to continue the game and spent the next 45 minutes dreary without a goal. In the end, Porto ended the game with a score of 3:0 and managed to get the score.

The day after the game, Mourinho's first words after the team assembly were: "Now we can talk about our opponents, Lens." In his speech, Mourinho gave an order to the whole Porto team, which is to end the suspense of this round at home. If the Lens team knows that Mourinho will not be able to dish dishes like this, I don't know if it will be directly fried. Mourinho's attitude towards the Lens team, instead of being cautious or even fearful as the French media thinks they are, is so confident that they are a little disdainful.

In his mind, he never thought that Lens could pose any threat to his Porto. He has watched the video of the Lens team's game, and the style of play is typical of French football ground coordination. In Mourinho's opinion, this is too slow, not concise and effective, and he believes that Porto's defence can easily stop it in the face of such an attack, as long as it does not make mistakes. As long as the defence is fine, he does not believe that the Lens defence can withstand the attacking line of Porto led by Lao Lei.

The time soon came for Porto to host Lens in the third round of the Europa League, and Lens kept saying that they would win until the pre-game. Porto, on the other hand, are too lazy to bother with such an opponent with too much self-confidence, and under the leadership of Mourinho, they carefully prepare for the things that need to be paid attention to in the game. Before entering the pitch though. Lao Lei was still stopped by some French reporters slowly.

"Are you confident of beating Lens?" "What do you think of Lens's strength?" ”。“ What do you think of the shape of this round? ”……… At first glance, these questions seemed to be no problem, but Lao Lei was still very unhappy. In the tone and eyes of these French journalists. There is a sense of pride that doesn't know where it comes from, as if Porto are facing some tough opponent who is difficult to defeat and is at a disadvantage. Lao Lei looked at the French reporter in front of him lightly, and then said: "Our goal is to solve Lens in one game." ”

After saying that, regardless of how these French reporters reacted, Lao Lei squeezed a way out of their middle and left his encirclement. The French reporters were stunned by Lao Lei's words for a while before they came back to their senses. looked at Lao Lei's back, and suddenly became noisy. "Who does he think Pol is? Manchester United. Real madrid? It's really arrogant", "it's really arrogant, it's rude", .......... French journalist's reaction was like a pot of boiling water, restless.

However, the Portuguese reporters on the side looked at these French counterparts coldly, and they were secretly refreshed by Lao Lei's words. Although France's table in the '02 World Cup is really not complimentary, the World Cup and European Championship in '98 and '00 still make French sports journalists proud of their country's football, even to the point of being a little arrogant. They are facing a country like Portugal that has not won any detached heavyweight titles. There is always a little contempt involuntarily, and it looks a little rampant. As for Portugal's table for the runner-up in the 02 World Cup, it has already made them automatically blocked.

And just now, Lao Lei so bluntly looked down on Lens's victory declaration, which naturally hit the sore spot of these proud French journalists. It's no wonder they reacted so violently. At this time, they were already planning how to make the old thunder ruthlessly arranged after the game. Lens finished runners-up in Ligue 1 last season, although they were unable to make it through the first round of the group stage in the Champions League. But the strength is still guaranteed. They don't think Porto have the quality. You can win this round in the first game. To secure victory in this round, Porto must have at least a three-goal difference at home. Once Porto did not reach such an advantage in the competition. Lao Lei's words will be taken out by them and sarcastically ridiculed, even more so once it is a draw or defeat.

Just when the French reporters were worried about how to satirize Lao Lei's arrogance, Lao Lei had already come to the locker room in Porto, changed his clothes, and prepared for the game. Mourinho saw that Lao Lei came to the dressing room a little late, so he asked Lao Lei what the reason was. Lao Lei naturally told the truth, he smiled indifferently, patted Lao Lei's shoulder and said, "Since you have said it, you have to do it, don't embarrass me." “

At this time, Lao Lei's words outside quickly spread, and it caused a brief exchange of media between France and Portugal, and the Porto fans who came to the scene soon knew all about it, including some fans who watched the broadcast. Now things are also making a big fuss, once Lao Lei does not realize what he said, he will definitely be greatly ridiculed by the outside world. Lao Lei's interview video was quickly posted on the Internet by the French media, and even the official website of UEFA was pinned to the top of the video, which immediately caused a large number of fans to watch.

The attention of the third knockout round of the Europa League has increased dramatically, which has given broadcasters and advertising sponsors some surprises. The Porto fans at the scene also quickly made a new banner with a declaration of "Lens, there is only one game between us" to support Lao Lei's words. Such a big movement, Lens naturally knew about it. Hearing the news, the manager of Lens lost his temper and excitedly encouraged his players to kill Porto in one game at Porto's home stadium and slap Lao Lei well.

By the time the players on both sides were already standing and waiting for the referee's whistle, Lao Lei could feel that the bad Lens players were throwing hostile glances at him. But Lao Lei didn't care, such a formation couldn't scare him anymore. Of course, if the players of Lens dare to play any tricks on themselves, Lao Lei will not mind telling them in person in this game that this is his home field.

Lens played a 4-3-3 attacking formation and it seems that they are really confident in their quality. And this happened to fall into the arms of Mourinho, who specially instructed Lao Lei in this game. Speed up the offensive and defensive tempo of the game and hit the Lens team's counterattack hard. The style of football in Ligue 1 tends to be slower and more technical. Playing three inches, Mourinho specially practiced Porto's counter-attacking tactics a few days before the game. A big meal was prepared for the Lens team.

Only then did the Porto players know that Mourinho had already begun to calculate the Lens team and had made a complete tactical and strategic plan. Looking at Mourinho with a cold face, the players couldn't help but sneer, and secretly planned that they must not mess with Mourinho in the future, otherwise they would not know if they were really sold. Mourinho, who was proud in his heart, didn't know how his reaction would be if he knew what his disciple was thinking at this time. Looking at the attacking formation of the Lens team on the field, Porto's players are more confident. Strategically, they already have the upper hand.

After the start of the game, Lao Lei deliberately followed Mourinho's instructions to speed up the rhythm of passing and cutting, and did not slow down and control the game as before. So the opening stages looked a bit chaotic and didn't have the feeling of Porto holding on to the situation in the past. Seeing this situation, Lens thought that it was the result of his own strength, but he didn't know that Porto was just luring the snake out of the hole.

Sure enough, seeing such a situation, the Lens team even let go of their hands and feet to fight against Porto. However, they failed to notice that their attack, despite its magnitude, did not pose any real threat to Porto's defence. Even the head coach of the Lens team was suddenly fascinated by the situation on the field and did not pay attention to the essence of the phenomenon. Mourinho glanced at the Lens manager, who seemed to be in a good mood. He snorted coldly in his heart, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, the fans of Porto really thought that the Lens team had the strength to disrupt the organization of Porto, and began to cheer for the players on the field with louder singing.

After the start of the game. Old Ray did receive some extra "care" from the Lens players on the field. But he didn't care, after all, he had already received a lot of such "care". And Lao Lei is not a person who suffers losses and does not fight back. In the ninth minute of the first half, Old Ray hung up on the side of the clothes of the Lens players. Jumped up across the air and landed on the grass after that. The tearful performance began. Amid the violent boos of the Porto fans, the referee cooperated to show a yellow card to the players of the Lens team to show his impartiality in law enforcement. In addition, Lao Lei will often inadvertently greet his elbows, knees, and toes to the Lens players at angles that the referee can't see during the game, and give a good "salute" back.

After such a routine, it has already made Lens's players secretly grit their teeth, but they are a little helpless. Because after the game started, Lao Lei did not take the forward insertion, but honestly stayed in the backfield, mainly defending, so that the players of the Lens team could not find any good opportunity to retaliate. In their hearts, they thought that Lao Lei was afraid of retaliation, so he shrank in the backfield. How did they know that Lao Lei was just waiting for an opportunity to organize a counterattack, waiting for an opportunity to switch from defense to attack.

In the 21st minute of the first half, such an opportunity finally came. At this time, the Lens team had completely let down their guard and completely pressed out of the formation. At this time, Lao Lei completely played the role of his mixer in the midfield. With a vicious tackle, the ball was cut off from the feet of the Lens midfielder. As soon as he got up, he immediately caught up with the football, and at this time there were only four defenders in the Lens half, and there was plenty of space for Porto to play on the counter-attack.

After the old thunderbolt grabbed the football, he just glanced up, and then before the Lens defender pressed up, he directly sent a precise long-distance through ball. The ball rolled past the feet of the two Lens defenders, and in one fell swoop it completely cut through the Lens defence like a scalpel. McCarthy swerved and stepped forward, using his excellent explosiveness to shake off the defenders of Lens, and there was only the goalkeeper of Lens in front of him.

After taking a step into the box, McCarthy fired directly at goal, catching the Lens goalkeeper off guard halfway through. The ball passed by his feet and rolled straight into the goal. 1:0, Porto took the lead.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Fast! It's so fast!! Hahaha, look at the stunned Lens players. Hey, boys, see, that's our fight back. It's been a long time since I've seen a counter-attack like this, and the main thing is that fewer and fewer teams are playing against us in the face. I really want to thank the "brave" Lens team, haha!! “

After seeing the ball scored, Lao Lei also ran straight to the front of the Lens team.

Stopped, stretched out his right index finger, signaling that this was the first goal.

In order to cooperate with Lao Lei, the Porto fans in the stands suddenly had tens of thousands of index fingers.

The head coach in front of the bench of the Lens team suddenly turned the color of pig liver. (To be continued......)
