When Lao Lei and others came off the field one after another, Mourinho sent the lineup of the second team of Porto to on the field. Facing Porto's second team, Tottenham finally had the upper hand in the game. scored two goals in the second half with such a decent score of 2:3 to end this warm-up game. The Porto fans in the stands were not annoyed to watch it, and for them the team's performance in the first half was enough to make them have higher expectations for the upcoming new season. In particular, this team has not yet completely succeeded in running in, and there have been some tacit mistakes in the small range of passing and cutting cooperation in the game. However, this is all within the tolerable range, and Da Costa, who watched the game, also expressed his praise for Mourinho's work in an interview with reporters after the game.

In addition, Postiga, one of the protagonists of this warm-up game, was replaced by the black-faced Hoddle at the beginning of the second half. At the end of the game, Hoddle and Postiga did not communicate at all, not even on the surface. With a blackface of Hoddle and a frustrated Postiga, it is conceivable that Postiga's career journey at Tottenham will not be too smooth. After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Postiga suddenly found Lao Lei, and in frustration, he threw down the sentence "This team is yours", turned around and left. Old Ray looked at Postiga's back, and suddenly felt that this person was not so annoying.

At the press conference, in order to avoid being ridiculed by Mourinho in person, Hoddle did not attend, but let his assistant coach come to the press conference. In this regard, Mourinho said a little boringly at the press conference: "I really picked the wrong opponent. Boring. "And the same disappointment as Mourinho is, of course, the journalists, the heated war of words. There's a fierce start, but there's a bland and uninteresting ending. And Tottenham are the whole team. I took a plane overnight that night and left Porto in disgrace.

However, there is still good news for reporters, that is, they were provided with a lot of news material during the warm-up game. The next day, the major newspapers appeared with the headline "The Right Choice", "What about the person who lifted my shoes?" The report was full of praise for this Porto, and by the way, it was mixed with ridicule of Hoddle and Postiga. Mourinho, as the head coach, and Lao Lei, as the core, naturally received the most praise. Some Porto media even commented: "This pair of master and apprentice who just came to Porto is bound to be recorded in the history of Porto." “

At the same time, some football commentators noted the performance of this Porto team on a tactical level: "Although it was just an insignificant training game, this Porto team under Jose Mourinho showed their embryonic form in the game. Excellent situational control. Whether in positional warfare or counterattacks, they have shown a certain level of attack power. In particular, the performance on the counterattack is even more amazing, so fast, concise, and lethal.

Other than that, this Porto defense surprised me the most. The back, midfield, and frontcourt all put in the defence and all performed well. The high pressing in the frontcourt, the large-scale sweep in the midfield, the solidity of the backfield, and the all-round. It's all impressive. Combined with their counter-attacking ability, this Porto team is bound to create an unstoppable counter-attacking whirlwind in the new season of the Portuguese Super League. “

These tactical comments did not receive widespread attention from the outside world at this time. In the eyes of everyone, Porto is a semi-finished product, and it is too early to discuss its future. And then after this season. When they look back at these comments again, they will feel that they have already seen the ending. Of course, anyway. Both Lao Lei and Jose Mourinho delivered a satisfactory debut score.

In the following time, Porto also played two warm-up matches in succession. The opponents were Lyon in Ligue 1 and Setúbal in the Portuguese Super League, and the two matches ended with a score of 2:1 and 1:1 respectively. In the match against Lyon. Lao Lei contributed an assist and did not score again. Porto scored in the 16th and 57th minutes respectively to give them a two-goal lead. However, in the 69th minute, Lao Lei and Deco made a mistake in the matching, and Lyon caught a chance to pull a goal back. Jose Mourinho was harshly criticised by the Porto squad for the goal he conceded, and it was the carelessness after the lead that led to the birth of the goal that he conceded. As a demanding manager, Jose Mourinho demands that his players focus and concentrate every minute of the game. For this reason, even Lao Lei, Mourinho's favorite general, did not escape reprimand.

And against Setúbal, it was completely the stage for Porto's substitutes. Most of the main players such as Lao Lei are on the bench to prepare for the upcoming new season. In two days, the 02-03 Portuguese Super League season will kick off and ignite the fire. After this period of training and warm-up matches, although Porto's lineup has not yet completed the complete run-in, it has also completed about 8 percent. After all, most of the main players of this Porto team are the original match, and Mourinho has not made a large-scale change. The only thing this Porto team lacks is the overall understanding of Mourinho's new tactics, which is not sufficient. In this new system defined by Mourinho, it is not yet possible to be like a fish in water.

After the match against Setúbal, Mourinho announced a day off after training the next day to allow his players to rest and prepare for the new season. Of course, a little warning and knocking is indispensable, although the player's private life has nothing to do with the team and the club in theory, but for the sake of the team's results and the player's state, the manager will still interfere with the player's private life to a greater or lesser extent. One of the most exaggerated is the rumor that the manager of the Red Devils Manchester United Ferguson is spying on the private lives of his players despite the fact that he is a private detective.

Because of Mourinho's beating, many players of Porto who had a lot of ideas had to give up the leisure program that they had planned in their minds and honestly stayed at home to rest. After this period of accumulation, Mourinho's prestige in the team has reached the level of indisputable. After Mourinho announced his dismissal, the players went home silently after freshening up.

And when Lao Lei returned home, he was faced with an empty house. Although the big house is good, old Ray now misses the days in Leiria and the days of staying with his family. Joseph and his party have not yet returned to Portugal, and it is not known if they are fascinated by vacation travel, and they have already left the Maldives to continue their vacation in Greece. Now Lao Lei can't contact them every day, and only occasionally calls a few days to exchange news.

After settling dinner by himself, facing the empty house, Lao Lei suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart. Sitting on the couch watching a boring program on TV, Old Ray took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Kayla. But there was no answer on the phone. This is the most voice that Ray has heard on the phone when he calls Kayla recently. Most of the rest was still taken by Mrs. Sherman, and Kayla picked it up very few times, and even if she did, she couldn't say a few words and hung up.

This started after Kayla joined a Hollywood blockbuster and started filming. In the first few days, a few weeks, Lao Lei was still acceptable. But slowly, Lao Lei's heart began to be unable to accept it, and the irritability in his heart began to accumulate slowly. Lack of time for communication is the biggest killer for any couple's feelings and relationships. Especially for young couples, impulsiveness and lack of life experience, it will cause more damage. If before, even if the two were not together, Lao Lei could still have an understanding of Kayla's daily life, what she ate, what she wore, what she did today, and what her mood was, then now Lao Lei is completely black about Kayla's recent situation, and he doesn't know anything.

When you can only learn about your couple from the Internet, it will be faster and faster to have problems in your relationship or even break up. Lao Lei pressed the phone, looked at the photo of himself and Kayla on the phone screen for a while, and suddenly fell on the sofa as if venting. Lao Lei's patience has reached a limit.

Turning off the TV, Lao Lei took a cold shower to suppress the anger in his heart. Just as he was about to go to bed and enter the system training, his phone rang. Old Ray thought it was Kayla calling, and happily picked up the phone, only to see that it was Claudia's phone. During this period of time, Claudia was the one who talked to Lao Lei for the longest time, and became the person who communicated with Lao Lei the most in his off-field life.

Old Ray exhaled, adjusted his mood, and then picked up the phone and chatted with Claudia. In the process of talking with Claudia, the depression in Lao Lei's heart subsided slightly. After the last call, Claudia once again invited Lao Lei to come out for dinner. Previously, Lao Lei had already rejected her invitations many times, and the reason was just one word - training. Although she had faced Lao Lei's obvious prevarication refusal many times, Claudia continued to enthusiastically invite as if she didn't know what to do.

And this time, Lao Lei chose to agree. He didn't know why he would agree to it, maybe it was for the sake of Claudia's many invitations, maybe it was to find someone to accompany him, or maybe he just wanted to take a small revenge on Kayla who ignored him during this time. In fact, after agreeing, Lao Lei immediately regretted it, and he didn't know how to answer if Kayla knew about it. But the matter has come to this point, and he can't bear to regret refusing.

In the end, taking into account Mourinho's instructions, Lao Lei chose the place of meeting at his home in Porto. Who doesn't know what kind of impact this choice will have on him, Kayla, and Claudia? (To be continued......)
