In the middle of February '03, Porto will depart for Turkey to start the first leg of the Europa League knockout round, and their opponents are Denizlispo. Previously, Porto defeated Rio Ave 2-0 at home in the 20th round of the Portuguese Super League and Maritimo 1-0 in the Portuguese Cup to advance to the last eight.

In the game against Rio Avey, Mourinho started the rotation system again, and Deco and Alenichev were put on the bench by him. In this game, Lao Lei did not have an assist and scored, but successfully planned the attack of two goals. In the 13th and 67th minutes of the first and second halves, Maniche and McCarthy scored goals. The first goal started with a sudden acceleration after Ray stepped forward, disrupting Rio Ave's defensive formation, and after McCarthy headed back to assist Maniche to score. The second goal was Maniche who reciprocated, after receiving a direct long pass from Lao Lei after breaking the ball, he drove straight into the penalty area with speed and crossed in front of the goal, and McCarthy easily blocked the football in front of the goal. The score of 2:0 ensured that Porto continued their unbeaten run at home.

In the Portuguese Cup match against Maritimo, it was Deco who opened the deadlock with a direct free kick in the 34th minute. It was also the only goal of the game, with Deco's goal sending Porto to the last eight of the Portuguese Cup, and so far Porto have been on all three fronts this season without any major problems. Jose Mourinho is also very happy with the current situation, which is already a very desirable result, although there are occasional flaws in the process. But not enough to affect the big picture.

With the prestige of consecutive wins, Porto came to Turkey with the confidence of victory. But they just got off the plane. I felt the unusual thing about Turkish football. They got off the plane and saw a lot of Turks, but they weren't their fans. It's not a welcome ceremony for them, it should be said that it is more appropriate to dismount. Blood-red banners "Welcome to Hell", sheep's heads, and incomprehensible but hostile scolding..................

Looking at the Turks full of excitement in front of them, to be honest, such a scene is rarely frightening. Although I had seen the brutal images of Turkish fans on the Internet before I came, when I was really there, it was a completely different feeling. Mourinho looked at the situation in front of him, had a headache, and hurriedly let the players get in the car. I don't want the player's emotions to be affected too much. This has almost become a regular program for Turkish fans to treat foreign teams, harassing, intimidating, and disrupting the fighting spirit, state and mental state of the opposing players.

Since the development of football in Turkey, Turks seem to have injected their belligerence and blood into their football culture. Since then, Turkey's football culture has always seemed to be belligerent and bloody, with constant riots and troubles. Compared to the famous English football hooligans, Turkey's football hooligans are not weaker than others. In the semi-finals of the 2000 Europa League, Leeds United played Galatasaray on the eve of the night of riots. One of the most famous cases is the life of two British fans who ended forever on the streets of Istanbul.

However, far from abating, the football hooligan culture in Turkey is on the rise. In such an atmosphere, the Turkish team only needs to play at their home stadium. It's going to be extra difficult. Because in order to be extra careful of the Turkish fans, the referee on duty will always have a more obvious bias towards the home team when the game is played in Turkey. But it's just a vicious approach. It emboldened the fans in Turkey even more. And at this time Lao Lei they are suffering, the "cheers" and "care" of Turkish fans.

The buses in Porto are extremely slow to watch. Surrounded by a group of Turkish fans in the center, Turkish fans kept banging on the body and windows of the Porto bus. And at the same time shouting something. Mourinho asked Brito to call the local police station, but the answer was that the police station was currently understaffed and would have to wait an hour. Although he had a premonition in his heart, after he really heard it, Mourinho couldn't help but scold his mother. He told the players to close the curtains, not to look out, not to care outside.

After the Porto bus finally arrived at the booked hotel, the Porto players, who were frightened, did not need to be reminded by Mourinho, and stayed in the hotel very obediently, without any intention of going out. However, the matter was not over, and when the players were about to rest in the evening, a loud noise of Turkish fans could be heard outside the hotel, preventing them from sleeping and resting. At the same time, there were constant phone calls coming in the players' rooms, all of which were harassing calls from Turkish fans. It wasn't until the early hours of the night that the local police arrived late to disperse the gathered fans.

The next day, most of the Porto players got up with dark circles under their eyes and yawning. Seeing the player's state, Mourinho could only wave his hand helplessly and announced that he would continue to stay in the hotel today to rest, no need to step on the field, and adapt to training. Although angry, Mourinho could only helplessly, and the matter was sworn by Porto Club to appeal to UEFA, and there would be no result. Denizlispor could have explained that this was just a spontaneous action by the fans, and at most it was a public apology on behalf of the fans. Porto can only grit its teeth and swallow this dark loss, and it is neither the first nor the last club to suffer this bitter fruit.

Lao Lei has been in his heart for the past few days, and he has accumulated a lot of anger because of the behavior of Turkish fans. This is the first time he has been treated like this by the opposing fans, and compared to the little unpopularity he received in Portugal, it is simply a pediatric. As the commander of Porto, the old Reech was the most harassed last night, with a constant stream of harassing phone calls. In the end, he was forced to unplug the phone line directly, which could be regarded as quiet.

In the end, there was even a strange Turk who knocked on the door of Lao Lei's room, but fortunately, Costa Laodao, who was in the same room as Lao Lei, sensed that something was wrong. Since Porto is a room with a direct one-story package, no one should come up at this time. And under Mourinho's ban, no one will call room service at this time. This Turk who claims to be a hotel attendant. In Costa's eyes, it's more like a fan of Denizlispor sneaking in. Sure enough, after calling the hotel staff to confirm, the fan was taken away by the hotel security. When I was taken away. He also had a pot of fresh animal blood in his hand, and if Lao Lei opened the door rashly, it was estimated that he would become a bloody man. This situation made Mourinho furious, and the person in charge of the hotel was directly scolded by him for an hour, and it was only after continuous apologies and promises of compensation that it was over.

After several days of harassment, the atmosphere in the Porto team became dull, and no one was in the mood to play and joke as usual. Seeing such an atmosphere, Mourinho could only frown. Don't know what to do. Although he also understands psychology, he is not a professional psychiatrist after all. He didn't know anything about such an enlightened player in such a situation.

At 6 o'clock in the evening on the day of the game, Denizlispo's home stadium was already packed. Although the stadium is not large, it is no smaller than other large stadiums. Although the Turkish fans are a bit rude and savage, they have to admit that they are qualified fanatical fans. Denizlispor is not a big club in the Turkish Super League, it is a small club. The opportunity to play in Europe is very precious to them. So its fans are naturally desperate to go further, and to be honest, Denizlispo has made it so far, and their home stadium or fans have also contributed a lot. But nothing is too much, and too much fanaticism will eventually turn into violence. Money, faith, love, nothing more.

In the dressing room, Mourinho was making his final speech. This time he didn't talk about tactics. Instead, the focus was on motivating the players, who were not very excited about the harassment of the past two days. And Mourinho's job is to refresh them and cheer them up. "Guys. I know we've been treated unfairly these days. But that's not a reason for us to lose the game, on the contrary we should try harder to win the game. Sue the Turks, they can't scare you! Go and sue them, we are here to kill them!! Sue them, who is the strongest!! ”

"Kill them!" Mourinho's words completely hooked up the resentment in the hearts of Lao Lei and them in the past few days. If you don't want us to win, then we just have to win cleanly and show you, that's what all the Porto players are thinking at this time.

When the Porto players followed the referee out of the players' tunnel, what appeared in front of Lao Lei was a picture of fanaticism to the extreme. He saw a picture of the severed head of a dragon hanging in the stands, dripping with blood, with the words "We are going to be dragon slaying warriors today." ”

When introducing Porto's appearance list, there were boos, except for boos, Lao Lei and the others couldn't hear any other sounds. This series of obvious hostile moves not only did not make the Porto players feel uncomfortable, but made their fighting spirit even higher.

And Lao Lei, who was holding back the fire in his belly, raised his hands here and made a gesture of King's Landing, with a spark of disdain in his eyes.

The stadium was suddenly silent for a second, as if someone had suddenly pressed the mute button.

The surrounding Turkish fans seemed stunned by Lao Lei's move, and it was the first time they had seen someone do so. But then there was an even louder boo, accompanied by insulting gestures and words that were common around the world.

But what they saw was that Lao Lei closed his eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.

There is also a comfortable smile on the corner of his mouth, which is exactly like the expression of a beautiful woman in a bikini when she sees the beach, the sea, and a beautiful woman in a bikini when she is on vacation.

However, this comfortable smile is indeed so annoying and extremely annoying in the eyes of the Turkish fans at the scene.

And as the boos grew stronger, the smile at the corners of Porto No. 13's mouth seemed to bend even wider.

The fierce commotion had already begun before the game had even begun. (To be continued......)
