At a time when the outside world was stormy, Mourinho showed his ability to control Porto, and the Porto team did not have any impact from the outside. Porto continued to follow their intended objectives, making steady strides on all three fronts. Deco himself was not affected by public opinion, and when he chose to become a Portuguese citizen, Mendes had already envisioned this situation, and he was mentally prepared. His joining the Portuguese national team is not due to these changes, but then he needs to use his strength and performance to eliminate these unfavorable remarks and win the support of the fans.

It was fast forward to the end of April, during which Porto maintained their usual desperately steady dìng. It is a big disappointment for some teams who are hoping that Porto will be influenced by public opinion and their results will slip. Especially in the league, the main rivals for the title have turned their attention to the second-place Champions League place because of Porto's stability, in the words of the media: "Unless a miracle happens, this season's Portuguese Super League title will not be thought of by any other than Porto." ”

In terms of the league, from the 23rd round against Maritimo to the 26th round against Morelentiens, Porto Shun Shun Lì won 3 and drew 1. In the Portuguese Cup, Porto also managed to defeat Setúbal and advance to the final. Although Deco's absence has damaged Porto's strength, the reason for Lao Lei's ban is that he can concentrate on domestic league and cup competitions.

In the away game against Maritimo, Porto reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation, and Lao Lei will not play for a while. Completely vented in this game. In the 12th minute of the first half, Lao Lei broke the ball in front of the court. He used a beautiful back-heel pass to assist McCarthy to score a goal. Followed by. Immediately after 3 minutes, Lao Lei hit the goal with a beautiful free kick with the outside of his right foot at the edge of the penalty area to expand the score. The successive goals conceded in a short period of time made Maritimo's players a little dizzy, and Porto also took advantage of this opportunity to score a wonderful long-range shot again by Maniche five minutes later. Before the halfway point of the first half, Porto sealed the victory with a score of 3:0.

The fans of Maritimo who came to watch the game were completely stunned. They didn't expect the team's rout to come so quickly. Mourinho also accepted it when he saw it, lest Maritimo's players become angry and cause injuries again. The match ended with a score of 3:0, and Lao Lei's own dominant table Xiàn conquered the major media. After the game, some media even used the words "Hungry Godzilla swallowed Maritimo alive" to express Xiàn Lao Lei's unstoppability in this game.

Porto then rushed to Setúbal for the semi-finals of Portugal. In this match, Setúbal continued to show his old and spicy nature. In the face of Porto, which lacked Deco, they specially arranged an airtight encirclement and interception for Lao Lei. The impact of Deco's absence was thoroughly exposed, and Setúbal focused his defensive firepower on Ray. Considering Lao Lei's running ability and growth breakthrough ability to get rid of. Saibatur sent two players to keep an eye on him at all times, and Lao Lei was closely guarded in recent times.

After 30 minutes of entanglement in the first half, Lao Lei decisively changed his offensive mode and did not frequently cut forward and run. Instead, he stayed honestly at the back, while also pinning two Setúbal players to Porto's half, weakening Setúbal's backfield defence. Meanwhile. Lao Lei began to frequently use long passes to organize Porto's attack, and the two wings became the main arrows. After training not to look at people passing. Lao Lei's passing became faster and faster, and he often chose the route of the pass before receiving the ball. After briefly throwing off a defender with a run in the backcourt. Make a quick pass before a defender presses it up. It was only by this time that Porto's attack picked up again.

Before the manager of Setúbal could react, Maniche finally scored the first goal of the game in the 44th minute of the first half. Ray found McCarthy with a long ball from the back, and McCarthy grabbed the defender and used his chest to stop the ball to Maniche who cut inside. Maniche made a slight adjustment and immediately fired a long-range shot that hit Setúbal's centre-back, played a line change and flew into the back of the net, and it was the only goal of the game.

After progressing to the final of the Portuguese Cup, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief that Porto will have an easier schedule ahead. This is undoubtedly a timely rain for Porto, who are currently injured. In addition to Deco, Alenichev and Ferreira were also found to have minor injuries that require recuperation. The impact of the hectic schedule brought about by the three fronts is beginning to be felt. Luckily, though, there haven't been any major injuries in Porto.

And Lao Lei also found another deficiency of his own in this game, his left foot. Although Lao Lei's left foot is not bad, in the face of the opponent's intentional targeting, he will be habitually uncomfortable, not smooth, and difficult to deal with. Otherwise, Lao Lei would not be such a wolf in this game, and he was honestly blocked in the backfield. Although his own method still worked in the end, the feeling of being forced by his opponent to fight back head-on was still very unpleasant for him. Soon there was an additional exercise in his left foot in his daily training content, and Redondo also had a strong guiding role in this regard, after all, the most amazing breakthrough of the Argentine's career was done with his left heel.

After the match against Setúbal, Porto will travel to Coimbra to take on Universidad de Coimbra away. Porto were unexpectedly held to a draw at home by Université Coimbra in this match, with the two sides drawing 1-1. Because of the teammates running back and forth, their physical fatigue led to a sluggish state, so Lao Lei had no way to do it alone. Although in the 50th minute of this game, Lao Ray assisted McCarthy to score a goal. But just three minutes later, Universitiate Coimbra took advantage of a mistake by the Porto centre-back who was substitute for Costa to equalise. After that, Porto did not achieve anything in the face of a dense defence of the University of Coimbra. Although there was no choice but to draw, the advantage accumulated in the standings still made the other competitors despair about the championship battle.

In the next game, Lao Lei had to sit in the stands and watch from the wall. Porto's first leg of the fifth knockout round of the Europa League against Greek side Panahinaikos kicked off at the Stade d'Oro. The absence of Deco and Lao Lei, as well as the fatigue of the team and the injuries of some of the main players, made Mourinho reluctant to put on a defensive counterattack. Porto, which lacked a commander, did not play the galloping counterattack that fans had in the impression of fans at home, but was besieged by the opponent, which was very wolf-like. And Panasinaikos' header goal in the 67th minute of the second half also forced Porto to swallow the bitter fruit of the home defeat. Although Porto are confident that they can qualify in Greece after the return of Lao Lei and Deco, a defeat still left the whole team depressed.

And Lao Lei vented this frustration on the next Porto opponents Braga and Morelens. In these two games, Porto won comfortably 3:1 and 4:1 respectively. In the last time against Braga, Lao Lei had an unpleasant relationship with the fans of Braga, and this game can be regarded as a combination of new and old hatreds.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Lao Lei played with Maniche on the left side, got rid of the defense, and burst into the corner area with the ball. After using a Φ trick to flick Braga's defender in the corner area, Lao Lei burst along the baseline towards the penalty area. McCarthy cut forward smartly, received a cross pass from Ray, and scored with ease. Porto took the lead played with composure and doubled the lead in the final stages of the first half when McCarthy headed in a corner.

At the beginning of the second half, Porto had a blitzkrieg organized by Lao Lei, and Maniche scored a goal to rewrite the score to 3:0. Deco made his first performance since recovering from injury in the 70th minute of the second half. Jose Mourinho needs to get Deco to find his form for the next game. Lao Lei also did as Mourinho instructed at halftime to give the ball to Deco as much as he could. Of course, after all, he had just returned from injury, and Deco's performance was not excellent, and his mistake allowed Porto to concede a goal in the 82nd minute. However, this is the price that Porto are willing to pay, and a single goal conceded will not have any impact on the victory.

After this game, in the match against Morellense, Lao Ray and Deco appeared together again. Old Ray, Deco, Maniche and McCarthy, the four scored a goal each, and the multi-point, powerful firepower made Morerence have no way to parry. Porto used a hearty 4-0 victory to practice for the trip to Greece, and at the same time, Porto was only one step away from the league title. Porto are now 10 points clear of Sporting Lisbon in the standings, and as long as Porto can beat Setúbal in the 27th round, they can win the league title three rounds ahead of schedule.

Before that, though, Porto will need to complete their trip to Greece to take their next step in the Europa League. At the Athens Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, Porto's game against Panahinaikos was not easy. Panashinekos is one of Greece's top giants and has a strong record of reaching the Champions League final, although their results have declined in recent years, they are not easy to deal with when they return to their home stadium.

Due to the defeat in the first leg, Porto will only be able to press out and attack in this game, while Panasinaikos will undoubtedly opt for a conservative counter-attacking strategy.

So 10 minutes before the game, Mourinho shouted in the Porto dressing room: "Attack! By attacking!! Sue these Greeks, we Tamar are here to crush their dreams. Here, I'm king!! (To be continued......)
