Chapter 97

In the next few days, Lao Lei stayed by Kayla's side every day, no matter whether she was filming or resting, trying to make up for the time that the two of them had been vacant before. Kayla is also very happy for such days, and Lao Lei has shown thoughtfulness and gentleness during this time, which makes the little girl very useful. You must know that this is a few classic romantic tricks borrowed from Lao Lei's brain after making up for many love movies, candlelight dinner, violin accompaniment, fireworks and roses. Although there is nothing special and new, Kayla is already very satisfied, which is very different from the previous old Ray's expression.

Time always flies very quickly in the days of this kind of honey blending oil. Lao Lei is about to report back to the Porto team to prepare for the second half of the upcoming fixture. After Lao Lei finally boarded the plane under the reluctant gaze of Kayla, Lao Lei sat on the seat and had to sigh that it was really a gentle township and a hero's mound. In the days he spent with Kayla that day, Lao Lei felt that his physical state had weakened, and overindulgence was the main reason. After Lao Lei made up his mind to go back, he had to resume his daily training state immediately, otherwise...... Thinking of Mourinho's furious appearance, Rao is old thunder couldn't help but shudder.

In the days after returning home, Lao Lei locked himself in the fitness room to adjust his physical condition. On the day of reporting, Lao Lei finally recovered his previous physical state, looked at Alenichev, who was heavily punished for excessive relaxation, and couldn't help but rejoice in his foresight, so that he was not affected by the cold of Mourinho's winter. Then, in the time of the resumption of the Portuguese Super League, the players began to resume training. From the physical to the tactical in all aspects.

At the start of the second half of the season, Porto will first face the challenge of Ferreira at home in the round of 15. It's race day. Porto fans, who had not been there to watch the game for a long time, couldn't wait to pour into the Dragon Stadium. Get ready to cheer on the team in the first game of the second half of the season. Although the weather is still cold, there are already many fans wearing single clothes, shouting and singing at the same time, resisting the cold weather with passion. Before the game even began, the Porto fans entertained themselves in the stands with a huge chorus and crowds.

However, in contrast to the enthusiasm of the Porto fans, the form of the Porto players did not immediately enter the form at the beginning of the game. The winter break has just ended, and the players still need to use the game to slowly get back to the game. After the start of the game, Porto dominated the field. But mistakes are also constant, and there will always be some deviations in the small coordination on the offensive end. And it is precisely because of this that Porto was unable to break the deadlock in the first half of the game and could not score.

For example, in the 34th minute of the first half, after Porto's attack in the front court was blocked by Ferreira's defense, Lao Lei successfully counter-attacked on the spot in the front court. Lao Lei saw the opportunity to break a through stopper, stuffed into Ferreira's penalty area, and gave it to Maniche who was inserted forward. But Maniche's stop was a big hit, without anyone interfering. Stopping the ball directly at Ferreira's centre-back wasted a superb chance. And that's just one of the chances Porto squandered because of their mistakes.

Despite this situation on the field, the Porto fans still understood the players. But if they understand, it doesn't mean Mourinho understands. In order to knock the players who beat themselves. In the dressing room at halftime, Mourinho was furious, pulling the players out one by one to reprimand, even Lao Lei was no exception. Mourinho wasn't really that angry. It's more about motivating the players to get back into shape faster and get ready for the next games. And Mourinho's hair dryer. Sure enough, it worked in the second half.

In the second half, Porto's players were more active on the pitch, although they were not able to get back to 100 per cent all at once. But for paid Layla is obviously enough. In the face of Porto's fierce attack, Ferreira's defense suddenly became stormy. In the second half, after Lao Lei turned on the Devil Muscular Man, the dribbling attribute of Lao Lei in this game was increased by 10% on the additional skill column. At least this allowed Lao Lei to recover his best state directly on the dribbling, and even faintly exceeded the original level.

In the 61st minute of the second half, Lao Lei won the ball in the midfield and dribbled forward to face Ferreira's midfielder. got a 10% bonus, and when the old thunderbolt was holding the soccer ball under his feet, he suddenly felt a lot more proficient. The right foot stopped and buckled, and then made a gesture to break through from the left, and then suddenly the outside of the right foot flicked the instep, and then the whole person broke through Ferreira's midfield defense from the right as soon as he picked up speed. After these few movements, Lao Lei suddenly felt much smoother, and the time spent was reduced. In this way, Lao Lei broke through Ferreira's first line of defense.

In the face of Ferreira's players who were pressing up next, Lao Lei quickly changed direction twice, and he easily got rid of it again. Mourinho, who saw it on the sidelines, sighed lightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt that Lao Lei's speed and frequency of action were much faster. Well, Mourinho blamed that on the gains of the old Ray during the holidays. After Lao Lei broke through two Ferreira players in succession, he continued to dribble the ball and came to the edge of Ferreira's penalty area.

Ferreira faced Lao Lei's breakthrough and suddenly had two of Ferreira's defenders wrapped up. Before they could completely surround themselves, Ray didn't look at the outside of his left foot and tossed the ball across to Deco, who was picking it up. Because Lao Lei's breakthrough attracted a lot of Ferreira's defensive strength, Ferreira's defense line is now completely disrupted. Deco faced a flawed Ferreira defence and made an easy through ball to give McCarthy a superb one-on-one chance. McCarthy also lived up to expectations, scoring Porto's first goal in the second half. 1:0, Porto took the lead in the 63rd minute.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Benny! Our top scorer brought us the goal again, calmly pushing the ball so that Ferreira's goalkeeper could do nothing. Of course, we can't forget Deco, who provided him with the assist. and Remaya, who contributed a series of beautiful breakthroughs in front, really have to sigh that Reima's ability to break through with the ball has become more and more general-like. He's still improving, and buying him is really the most valuable transfer Porto have made in recent years. It is not difficult to see the preference of Porto's commentators in these words, which is also the attitude of the whole Porto at present, in a word, Lao Lei's expression, which makes them very satisfied, very satisfied.

However, in the next game, Porto did not usher in the expected succession of goals, and kept passing by the goals. Porto's forward line shot boots, in this match forgot jì at home. Even McCarthy, who scored a goal, missed several good opportunities in succession. However, because Porto has an absolute advantage on the field, they are not afraid of Ferreira's counterattack, and Ferreira's state is not much better in comparison. Although no goal was seen, the Porto fans soon found a new cheer to watch - Lao Lei's breakthrough performance.

Although Porto did not score again, in the next game, Lao Lei launched his breakthrough show in the midfield. All kinds of breakthrough actions are used at the feet of Lao Lei, picking the ball and passing people, Φ tricks.......... the fans who see Porto keep chanting wonderful. In today's game, Lao Lei also broke through to highlight the state, and with a super-level performance, Lao Lei felt the feeling of a breakthrough maniac.

In the end, Porto defeated Ferreira 1-0 at home and won another game. In the same round, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon encountered a lot of trouble, were forced to draw, and were further distanced by Porto in the standings. This made the media, who had expected Benfica and Sporting Lisbon to seize the opportunity of the winter break to close the distance with Porto, could not help but sigh that it seems that this season's title is destined to belong to Porto.

Although the match was won and Lao Lei also showed some improvement in the game, it did not make Mourinho happy. In the following training session, Mourinho trained the Porto players as punishment for the game's poor performance. After the game, Lao Lei received two evaluations, in addition to praise, there was also a different evaluation by the media.

They believe that as a midfielder, Lao Lei's frequent dribbling style of play is extremely risky. Once the midfielder fails to pass and is cut off, it will make the opponent directly face your last line of defense, this dangerous style of play, in their opinion, is a kind of limelight, not serious style of play. Although there are also excellent backs like Redondo in front, no one will compare the old Lei with Redondo now, and the gap between the two is too big.

Lao Lei disdainfully ignored such views of the media, and Mourinho did not talk to Lao Lei because of the remarks of these media. To be honest, the words of these media are not completely unreasonable, and the forward insertion of the ball at the back is indeed a double-edged sword kick. But what they don't know is that Mourinho is confident in Lao Lei's self-regulation and control ability, and he believes that Lao Lei will make the right choice at the right time. And Lao Lei also thinks so, admitting that he broke through with the ball too many times in this game, and the number of passes was slightly reduced, but this was based on his own breakthrough against Ferreira's defense with great certainty. And in this game, Lao Lei thought that more breakthroughs would be more threatening to the opponent, so he did so. At any time, Lao Lei's style of play is in the service of victory, and if it takes Lao Lei to defend to win, Lao Lei will focus on defense as a whole without complaint.

Unaffected by any news coverage, Porto continued their daily training sessions and prepared for the game. However, there are Porto fans, who have reacted greatly, and launched a saliva attack on these media on the Internet.

But it's none of that matter to Lao Lei and Porto, who are walking with great poise on their way to the title. (To be continued......)
