After the match against Pacos Ferreira, Porto will face the challenge of promoted Macchivicente at the Stadio de Dragon. The highlight is that after the match against Ki Vicente, Porto will begin the third round of the Europa League. The opponents in this round of the game are undoubtedly more powerful than the Huashan Poles and Vienna, Austria in the first two rounds. In the third round, Porto will play last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Lens. Lens finished third in the first round of the Champions League group stage and were eliminated for the Europa League.

Being able to play in a top-level competition like the Champions League as a small club is undoubtedly a very good result for Lens. In any case, though, Lens was out of luck as they were in the same group as AC Milan, Bayern Munich and Deportivo La Coruna. However, it has to be said that it was lucky, because it met Bayern Munich, which happened to be uncompetitive in Europe, and was able to finish third and also participate in the Europa League.

The group that Lens is in is definitely the most talked about group in this Champions League. There was not only the humiliating exit of Bayern Munich with 2 draws and 4 defeats, but also the classic crazy match between Deportivo La Coruna and AC Milan. In the first round of the match, AC Milan defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-1, but in the second meeting between the two teams, Deportivo La Coruna won a jaw-dropping 4-0 scoreline. Let the name of Deportivo Super Laco be completely established in European football.

Originally, Bayern Munich's poor performance once gave Lens hope of advancing to the second round of the group stage, but Deportivo Lacoruna's crazy performance completely shattered their daydreams. Distraught, Lens could only turn his attention to the Europa League. European competition is an important part of any club's finances. This is especially important for a small club like Lens, which aims to go as far as possible in the Europa League. But it has to cross the threshold of Porto first.

Having said that you are the runner-up in Ligue 1, Lens is still very confident of beating Porto to advance. The manager of Lens has long made a declaration that he must qualify. And the media of the proud Gallic Roosters obviously think so, and have long been building momentum for this round of Europa League matches. Although Porto is a traditional giant of Portugal, and this season's table is also very good, but Lens, who has the strength of the French runner-up strength, definitely has a chance to beat Porto in their opinion, after all, the current points and competitiveness of French League 1 in Europe are still far higher than those of the Portuguese Super League.

This statement by the French media naturally caused injustice in the Portuguese media. Although when it comes to the confrontation in the country, the Portuguese media are not convinced by each other. There are many war of words. But when it comes time for the Portuguese teams to play against the teams of other national leagues, they must be united and united in their appearance. The media of the two countries started a war of words and took the lead in building momentum for this round of competition.

There are also media who have found Porto players such as Mourinho and Lao Lei because of this matter, but they have long unified their voice, saying that the main focus is on Kiwicente at present, and the game against Lens is not the most important thing for them to consider at the moment. Their statement made Lens proud. I thought that Porto would be so low-key because they didn't have self-confidence.

In fact, the Porto team is also a little puzzled by Mourinho's unified order, it stands to reason that Lens's strength is not enough for Porto to attach so much importance to it, be careful. Only Lao Lei vaguely guessed Mourinho's intentions. Thinking of a Chinese idiom that arrogant soldiers will lose, it seems that Mourinho wants to increase a few percent on the basis of Porto's original chances of winning. But in any case, Porto will have to deal with the game against Kiwicente first.

In this home game against Kiwicente. Jose Mourinho fielded a semi-main and half-bench line-up, with Deco and McCarthy on the bench. And Lao Lei still debuted as a starter. Mourinho gave Lao Lei a task, which was to do his best to seal the victory. So that he could rotate early and save up for the game against Lens, and the old ray did not disappoint Mourinho.

Just five minutes into the game, Porto broke the deadlock at home. After the opening, the Porto midfielders led by Lao Lei completely grasped the initiative in the midfield and completely controlled the situation on the field. Although Porto's lineup is slightly reduced in attack, it is better to defend more steadily, which can allow Lao Lei to put more energy into the attack.

In the 5th minute, Lao Lei played a delicate one-two with Maniche on the left side of the front. In the end, Lao Lei's straight kick made Maniche proudly dribble the ball directly into the penalty area of Ki Vicente. Maniche's powerful shot was saved by Kivicente's goalkeeper, but Ivan's alert follow-up shot in the back row allowed Porto to break the deadlock first. Ivan has not played many games this season, but he has been playing well and prefers the way he plays now to the way he plays compared to the sullen season in Porto last season.

He arrived at Porto last season with the halfway silver boot aura, but he didn't continue his frenzied first half at Porto without the environment in which the whole team fed him the ball in Leiria. The pressure from public opinion and fans made him even feel breathless. However, there has been a noticeable change since the arrival of Mourinho and Lao Lei, although he has not played much, but he has always played a bright spot, and now he has become an indispensable point on the Porto bench. In a word, he is very satisfied with his current state.

After the goal, Ivan smiled and found Lao Lei to celebrate together, and Lao Lei was also sincerely happy that his teammate and friend had found his form. Amid the cheers of the Porto fans in the stands, the golden duo of the Leiria period, Lao Lei and Ivan, happily hugged and celebrated in the corner flag area.

After the game restarted, Kiwicente lost his defensive psychological advantage and had to slowly press the team's formation out and play against Porto. In fact, it stands to reason that since Ki Vicente chose to play defensive counterattacks, he should not have pressed it out so early, at least not before the second half. But perhaps it was Kiwicente's head coach who thought it would be better to stick to it. The rest of the first half was not always a good time. Regardless of the difference in strength, he conceded a goal in the opening 5 minutes. The morale of Kiwicente's players was too bad, especially since they didn't report the idea of beating or drawing against Porto in the first place. In the case of lack of self-confidence. In this case, it is better to press it out and lose with dignity.

Although Lao Lei was also a little surprised that Ki Vicente would be pressed out so quickly, he didn't think much about it, after all, such a situation is the best and most beneficial for Porto. Sure enough, in the first half, Porto won the game with a score of 3:0 early. Ivan's goal was followed by Maniche and Lao Lei scoring goals each in the 21st and 35th minutes.

In the 20th minute. Ray's breakthrough on the edge of the Ki Vicente box resulted in a foul on the Ki Vicente player and a free-kick in a great position. In Deco's absence, the landlord was denied the free-kick. Seeing Lao Lei standing in front of the football, Ki Vicente's goalkeeper was still flustered. After all, now everyone knows that Old Ray learned Beckenbauer's free kick mastery, the name of the person, and the shadow of the tree. Even though Lao Lei has not scored a few direct free-kicks so far, it is still not taken seriously by the goalkeeper who is not Ki Vicente.

However, this time, Lao Lei did not choose to shoot directly. It's about making the illusion of a direct shot, before it touches the football. Suddenly change to a toe lightly. The football flew over the head of the frightened Ki Vicente's human wall, and Ki Vicente's goalkeeper was also a little panicked, and hurriedly stared at the flight path of the football, adjusting his position and posture. At the same time, Maniche had already tacitly fought out of the crowd. The first step came to the landing position of the football. Facing Ki Vicente's goalkeeper, before their defenders came up, they didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground. It's just a powerful volley. Kiwicente's goalkeeper couldn't react and could only watch as the ball flew into the near corner of the goal.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Clever free-kick combination. Rema and Maniche teamed up to juggle the entire Kiwicente defence. Look at the stunned expressions of their goalkeepers! The Porto commentator was also excited to express his appreciation for the free-kick cooperation.

With 2 balls in hand, the shape of the field has changed significantly. If the Kiwicente players were only demoralized before. Now it's time for the passion for the game to wane. Lao Lei's goal in the 35th minute was a further heavy blow to their passion for the game. Ivan was tripped by a defender after receiving a through ball from Ray in the Kiwicente penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty. This penalty was supposed to be a choice between Ivan and Maniche, but this time the two of them conceded the penalty to Lao Lei.

Lao Lei was a little stunned at first, he never gave a penalty, and he was not the team's penalty taker. But he soon came to his senses, picked up the football, and walked to the 12-yard point. Since it was a teammate's kindness, he couldn't bear to refuse, not to mention that he was also a little curious about the first penalty. Penalty kicks are not difficult to say, simple or not easy, but in terms of technical difficulty, it can be regarded as the easiest way to score. However, the biggest variable in penalty kicks lies in the players' own ability to adjust their mentality. There have been many football superstars in history who have fallen to penalties, the most famous of which is Baggio's penalty at the World Cup in the United States.

After placing the football at the penalty spot, Lao Lei did not retreat, stood directly in front of the ball, and then looked at the referee and signaled that he was ready. Such a unique way of taking penalties has aroused the interest of Porto fans. Lao Lei's own idea is very simple, so close, just hit the spot directly, without giving the goalkeeper time to think. If you don't make a mistake, if this can be saved by the goalkeeper, then you can only admit it.

With the referee's whistle, Lao Lei directly hit the goal with a strong kick, and the football flew to the left side of the goal. Although Ki Vicente's goalkeeper judged the right direction, the ball was too fast to stop. Lao Lei's first penalty kick in his career ended successfully.

And this game has lost its suspense here. (To be continued......)
