In this game, Porto ended with a score of 4:0 and a comfortable victory over Lens at home. This result has caused a lot of concern in Portugal and France, and even in Europe as a whole. Although the Europa League is becoming less and less influential than the Champions League, it is still in the name of European competition after all. The teams that can participate in the European competition are the best in their respective leagues, and the Europa League is already in the third round of the knockout round, and the rest is not soft persimmons, such a score is surprising. Coupled with Lao Lei's declaration before the game, the two add up to have an even greater impact.

To be able to say that kind of thing before the game, and to actually achieve it, requires absolute confidence in one's own strength and a strong mental element. If the arrogance without strength is the arrogance of Yelang and the frog at the bottom of the well, then the arrogance of the powerful is domineering. Just like Riley, the head coach of the Lakers in the NBA's showtime era, after winning the championship, he vowed to defend the title next year. When he really leads the Lakers to defend their title a year later, who won't be able to make a sound of invincibility and unstoppable?

The disparity of 4:0 is enough to ensure that Porto can advance to the fourth round of the knockout round. I didn't believe that the Lens team could stage a miraculous comeback on their home turf under such circumstances, at least from the table of this game, the outside world did not see any possibility. Mourinho was also full of praise for Lao Lei's table after the game, and was very satisfied that Lao Lei completed the task he gave him perfectly, and this score could make Porto's schedule a little easier.

And with the effect of this game, Lao Lei's fame in European football has risen to a new level. At the same time, Lao Lei's value is also increasing again, among which the French "Team Daily" deliberately made Lao Lei's current table, prospect expectations and value after the game. A comment was made. They wrote: "The young 21-year-old Portuguese talented midfielder, after the stunning watch of the '02 World Cup. Although he surprisingly did not choose to transfer, he stayed in the country. But his influence has not waned. Everyone saw his dominating table in the Europa League. Although Lens is a French team, we have to admit that at the Dragons Stadium, they were completely unable to fight back.

The young Porto commander was flawless throughout the game, organising, attacking and controlling the tempo. The Lens team was like a headless fly, toyed with by him between applause. 2 goals. One assist, one planning, nothing to find fault with. Such a young age, such a good ability to control the game, and not a weak ability to defend and score. We have only one word to describe his future. In world football, where good midfielders are scarce, once he enters the transfer, it is bound to cause many giants to rush wildly. The time is this year. Whether it's next year, we don't know, but it certainly won't be for long. The Portuguese Super League can't tolerate this Godzilla.

About how much he is worth. We give an estimate of 18 million+. Considering his position at the back, as well as the influence of the Portuguese Super League, although his current performance in the Europa League is excellent. But that's not enough. When adding in his age, this is a conservative estimate. Of course. As the season progresses, if he continues to perform well in the Europa League. I believe that at the end of the season, this value will rise. “

At the same time, Portugal's other two young rookies, Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma, are also making a splash in European football. In the second round of the Champions League qualifying round, Sporting Lisbon was eliminated by Inter Milan, who had more strength and experience, despite a score of 2:0 over two legs. But against Inter Milan, Quaresma and Ronaldo's wonderful performances on the two wings also made the giants pay attention to the two talented young Portuguese talents.

The rise of three young Portuguese talents, such as Lao Lei, Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma, has gradually been accepted and recognized by European football as the title of "Golden Generation Replacement" given by the Portuguese media. This made the Portuguese media excited at the same time, but it was also a pity, because Postiga, who was once named after Lao Lei and others, had fallen into the Premier League at this time, and the title of parallel goods began to start. But no matter what, from Lao Lei and others, the Portuguese media see the hope of the rise of Portuguese football.

At the same time, Scolari's new Portuguese team has been regrouped for a warm-up match against Greece. Young players such as Lao Lei are all listed, and at the same time, this time Figo and other veterans have not been called up to the team, this is a new Portuguese team. For the first assembly of the Portuguese team after this World Cup, the Portuguese media still paid a lot of attention. It is widely believed that Scolari's purpose this time is to train and select new players to complete the change of blood of the Portuguese national team.

However, Scolari's call-up made Mourinho almost go crazy. Because Scolari almost took away the entire main central midfield of Porto, except for Costa, a veteran, all five people, including Lao Lei, were called up by Scolari into the national team. To this is added a Maniche in the front court. Porto had a total of six players in the squad and were spotted by Scolari. When I saw these call-up lists, Mourinho scolded but you Scolari is staring at me Porto. At this time, if Lao Lei is present, he will definitely say to Mourinho seriously, this is that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, who called you Porto's table this season is so good, plus most of them are Portuguese locals, if you don't look for someone to look for.

Although Mourinho was full of reluctance, he could only make substitutions. After all, preventing the player from playing for the country is not a glorious thing anywhere, and it is easy to cause conflicts between him and the player. However, he still found Scolari directly by phone and asked him to promise that he would give Lao Lei and the others enough rest time before relieving himself. And Scolari doesn't want to have a problem with Mourinho, after all, Porto is a major part of the national team this time, and it is not a good thing to have a gap with his manager. And Scolari didn't come and didn't want any player to play the whole game, except for the goalkeeper, all have a fixed playing time, which is equivalent to an interview, who enters and who doesn't speak on strength.

After getting the news of the call-up, Valente and others in the Porto team, except for Lao Lei, were very excited. Although Ferreira and others have also been selected for the national team, they are just playing warm-up games and have not entered the real main lineup. And anyone with a discerning eye knows that Scolari is going to select new players into the main squad this time to make up for the lack of personnel at the end of the golden generation. When they think about the European Championships in Portugal a year later, they are all excited. Playing in the World Cup or the European Championship in your home country is an opportunity that almost all players cherish, and this experience is basically once in a lifetime.

Looking at the excited Ferreira and others on the side, Lao Lei, who has long been in the main position of the national team, is naturally the old god, not happy with things, not sad with himself. Last night, he received a call from Scolari, and the two men talked for an hour. Scolari promised Lao Lei's main position on the phone, and told Lao Lei that he would play for 30 minutes at most in this warm-up game. After some conversations, although they have not talked face-to-face, they have only met at the World Cup, but Lao Lei still has a good first impression of Scolari.

"I really envy you guys, you can play in the national team game." At this time, Lao Lei's ears came Deco's voice with undisguised envy. As soon as he turned his head, Lao Lei looked at Deco with envy in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say to comfort his teammate for a while. Although Deco's strength is good, it has been difficult to be selected for the Brazilian national team for a long time. In addition to the fact that Brazil's attacking players are full of talent, there is also Deco's simple and European-oriented style of play, which is not favored by the current Brazilian style. This is the general trend and environment that cannot be changed, and Adecco has no way to make changes at all.

After being silent for a while, Lao Lei could only pat Deco on the shoulder helplessly, and jokingly comforted: "Otherwise, you can come to the Portuguese team." Anyway, with so many of our teammates in the national team, you will definitely not suffer. Originally, Lao Lei thought that Deco had heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly. But he didn't see Deco like this, but instead saw him stunned for a few seconds, and then showed a thoughtful look. Old Lei Xin said, no, I was really moved by what I said. He remembered one thing, this year Deco was already able to apply for Portuguese citizenship. In my heart, if Deco really joins the Portuguese team, it will not be a bad thing. In this way, Deco can not only participate in the national competition, but also be a strong addition to Portugal's strength, which is a win-win thing.

But don't let too many people know about this matter, otherwise I don't know how much trouble it will cause. Lao Lei whispered to Deco: "If you really have this mind, I can call you and ask Phil to see what he means." Deco looked at Lao Lei with a sincere face, nodded gratefully, and then replied in a low voice: "I still have to contact my family and agent, and when the time comes, I will decide and inform you." Lao Lei listened, nodded, and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. I thought to myself, such a big thing needs to be considered.

However, Lao Lei was almost sure in his heart that this matter would definitely come to pass. Because in Deco's eyes, he sees the desire for the national team, the extreme desire, to know that the World Cup will always have an irresistible attraction for players.

He felt that he should have a good talk with Mendes, their mutual agent. After all, if Deco wants to join the Portuguese national team, the help of this agent is indispensable, and the difficulty is not just changing his nationality. (To be continued......)
