The time came at 6 o'clock in the evening of August 17th, and the Dragon Stadium in Porto was already full of people. The stands have become a sea of blue and white, the passionate Porto team song floats over the Dragon Stadium, and the sound of more than 50,000 people singing in unison is like the roar of a dragon, which is terrifying. Lao Lei's No. 13 jersey has been widely seen in the stands. Lao Lei is using his extremely fast speed to become the new favorite of the Dragon Stadium. In a corner of the stands in Porto, a huge banner was already hung, on which was a cartoon image of Godzilla wearing the number 13 jersey. This is the hope of the fans of Porto, and Lao Lei can be like the giant monster Godzilla, exerting great power at the Dragon Stadium and becoming the patron saint here.

In the dressing room in Porto, Mourinho was making the most difficult mobilisation, boosting the morale of the players: "Guys, this is the beginning of a great journey! So it needs a great start to tell your opponents that this is not their territory. Tell them that if you strayed into the dragon, you will die!! Instigated by Mourinho's words, the morale of the Porto players was high, and Lao Lei also felt that he was suddenly full of morale. Compared with Oliveira's slightly Sven coaching style during the national team, Lao Lei prefers Mourinho's very emotional agitation and guidance.

Facing Porto, the biggest favorite to win the Portuguese Super League this season, the coach of the Portuguese Super League underdog Guimarães decisively sent a 4-5-1 formation and put on a defensive counterattack. After the start of the game, with the exception of their number 8 striker Toscano. The rest of the Guimaraes players were firmly confined to their own half, and the dense defenders at the edge of the box were like driving a bus in front of their own goal. Seeing the opponent's posture, Lao Lei unceremoniously took over the control of the rhythm of the game on the field.

As more and more games are played, and after the experience of the World Cup, Lao Lei has become more and more experienced. For a team that is in this position, you need to be more patient, and you can't give the opponent a chance to counterattack because you are too impatient. In the face of this kind of team, if the opponent is the first to score. That's a lot of trouble. It's going to be a tough battle.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Lao Lei had slowly moved his position to the front. With a reliable defensive line behind him, Lao Lei can safely step forward to assist. In the first 14 minutes, Porto attacked in front. Although the fight is impressive. But there will always be something lacking in the door. McCarthy, who just arrived for the new season. The tacit understanding with Porto's attacking line personnel in the front field will take more time to cooperate. For example, in the 9th minute. Deco once sent him a subtle through the middle. But before that, McCarthy had only made a gesture to the middle, and by the time Deco passed, he had already pulled down the wing.

And Mourinho's task to Lao Lei is to decisively step forward to support and help the team break the deadlock when the team's attack is difficult. At this time, Lao Lei formed a continuous short pass cooperation with Deco and Alenichev, advancing the football to the front of Guimaraes' penalty area, and pressing Guimaraes' defense into the penalty area, like an ellipse. Alenichev faced the opposition's left wing-back, split the ball with a man, and used his speed to force the bottom. When it came to the bottom line, Guimaraes' defence was squeezed even more flat, and there was a defensive vacuum at the edge of the box.

And Alenichev's pass was clever not to choose a cross-cross into a crowded box, but to cross the box. Old Ray got a pass from Alenichev on the edge of the box, and at this time Guimaraes had two players blocking and trying to fly to block the eye. At this time, the gap in front of Lao Lei's shot is too small, and if he chooses to choose a long-range shot at this time, it is likely to hit the defender and pop up. So after he made a feint of long-range shot, the falling right foot did not touch the ball, but the outside of his right foot flicked to the right, setting up a turret for Deco next to him.

During the training, Lao Lei learned that Deco has a good long-range shot. And this time Deco did not live up to Lao Lei's kindness, and hit a low flat ball with a powerful volley. The ball slid quickly across the turf and into the bottom left corner of the net, and he scored Porto's first goal of the new season to give his side a 1-0 lead over Guimaraes at home.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Deco! The Brazilian, with a beautiful powerful volley, helped his team take the lead. Of course, we can't forget Remaier's selfless assist. With the passionate commentary of the on-site commentator in Porto, the stands resounded with the cry of "Deco, Deco". Deco, who has been unable to join the national team for a long time due to the surplus of Brazilian talent, has received great respect and recognition in Porto, and this resounding cry at the Dragon Stadium is the best proof of this.

Deco, who is shy and low-key, is also a rare passion because he scored the team's first goal of the new season. Came to the corner flag area, and came to a chic slippery kneeling. Then he turned to greet his teammates to congratulate him, and when he hugged Lao Lei, he also specially expressed his gratitude. Lao Lei has a good impression of this mild-mannered Brazilian and is one of the players he has the best relationship with at Porto. He has also heard about Deco's national team encounter, thinking about the Brazilian national team's match with Rivaldo Gronnaldinho in the front midfield, Lao Lei can only secretly sigh for Deco's bad luck.

Mourinho on the sidelines saw his team's goal and only clenched his fist lightly, and then applauded his disciples to show his satisfaction. For a goal from a team like Guimaraes, Mourinho can't be too excited. Looking at Mourinho's applause on the big screen, Porto fans were a little sorry not to see the passionate celebration of the legendary Mourinho players.

After the restart, Guimaraes, who were behind, did not rush to press out and attack, but continued to shrink into their own half, and it seemed that the one-goal deficit in the first half was still within the range they could tolerate. Seeing this situation, Mourinho was very domineering and asked the team to continue to press the attack. looked at the head coach of Guimaraes on the side, and snorted coldly in his heart, saying in his heart that with your Guimaraes's counterattack has not yet reached the point where it can make my Porto jealous.

In such a situation, Porto's possession rate is on the rise. Because in the game, even if Guimaraes got the football, he couldn't control it, and under the pressure of the Porto frontcourt players, he could only choose to pass forward with big feet in order to get a breather. The number of touches of the ball from the start of the game to the present in this isolated situation by their lone striker. Not even a hand has arrived. When possession is at its highest. At one time, it reached the level of three seven open. And the biggest beneficiary of this situation is undoubtedly Lao Lei, because of his running organization, the number of passes is rubbing to a new high.

And in the 35th minute of the first half, Lao Lei completed his most brilliant performance of the game. After winning the ball in midfield. Pulled to the side where Maniche was. After a one-two with Maniche and got rid of the defenders around him. Accelerate straight forward along the side. Push to the bottom line. Facing the first defender to come up, Lao Lei buckled the inside of his right foot in the process of running. The whole person stopped as if he had violated the laws of physics. When the defender is forced to stand still, he turns his left ankle outward and slams the ball against it, which rolls forward and passes under the defender's crotch.

Ray then accelerated himself past the defender and then caught up with Guimaraes' right wing-back to take control of the ball. With the right wing-back blocking the inside lane, Lei had no choice but to take the outside lane and move forward along the touchline. Just when the right wing-back wanted to squeeze Lao Lei out of the touchline and put an end to Lao Lei's breakthrough.

Lao Lei's signature move Φ trick, the first time it appeared at the Dragon Stadium in Porto, the right foot deliberately missed the football, the whole person did not slow down, and then the left foot flung back, and the football bypassed the right fullback from behind and appeared on the inside. The entire Dragon Stadium let out a neat exclamation for Lao Lei's performance this time. More than 50,000 Porto fans stood up to see what Ray would do with the ball next, looking like his subjects saluting the king.

Lao Ray accelerated to cut inside and shook off Guimaraes' right wing-back, who was panicking because the ball was suddenly gone. After Lao Lei regained control of the football, he cut along the baseline into the penalty area. Lao Lei's continuous breakthroughs on the wing completely disrupted Guimaraes' defensive formation, and when he was about to enter the small penalty area, before Guimaraes' defenders pressed up, he crossed in front of the goal. McCarthy, who has excellent explosiveness, touched the ball before Guimaraes' defender. A left-footed push from the inside of the left foot broke Guimaraes' goal again, and at 2:0, McCarthy scored his first goal in an official match for Porto.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Pretty! Indescribably beautiful!! Reima's breakthrough became the perfect note for this goal, and McCarthy drew a perfect end to it! The two Leiria players from last season, in Porto and in the Dragons, played a great chemistry. In the face of such a beautiful goal, in addition to the commentators, the fans of Porto also screamed and celebrated with excitement. At this time, they are extremely confident that the No. 13 young man who hugged McCarthy on the field at this moment will become the leader of Porto's revival.

In addition to the praise from the fans' teammates, the elder also received a thumbs up from Mourinho. The speed with which Lao Lei integrated into Porto surprised and relieved Mourinho. For this disciple who has been personally excavated and cultivated, Mourinho always has more feelings and expectations in his heart.

The score of 2:0 was maintained until the end of the half. Even after falling behind 2:0, Guimarães did not force out, and this patience made Mourinho a little impressed by Guimaraes' manager.

In the 60th minute of the second half, the score was still 2:0. At this time, the head coach of Guimaraes finally couldn't sit still, he had to die anyway, and it was time to give it a go. In the 69th minute, the number on the scoreboard became 4:0, and in 10 minutes, Porto penetrated Guimaraes' door twice with their over-driving counterattacks, completely making the game out of suspense. Among them, Lao Lei contributed, one indirect and one direct assist.

On 73 minutes, Lao Lei was replaced by Jose Mourinho, leaving him alone to receive applause from more than 50,000 Porto fans.

With three assists, one indirect assist and 95 successful passes, Ray delivered a dominant statistic in his first competitive game at the Dragons.

And from this match, the Dragons Stadium began a fierce legend. (To be continued......)
