Chapter 188

The day after the game, the match between Porto and Bayern Munich became the focus of major media coverage. After the news of Bayern's 2:3 defeat to Porto at home spread, it caused an uproar in European football for a while. Everyone knows that Bayern are in a slump, but no one thought before the game that Bayern would lose on their home turf, and it was a slightly ugly loss. Even the German newspaper "Kicker" criticized without scruples: "At the Allianz Arena last night, the team that played against Porto was just a pseudo-Bayern team with a mental imagination and an amateur style. ”

In fact, the impact of this game on German football has only just begun. In Germany, the voice of German football reform is loud and loud, and there is a tendency to become more and more mainstream. The voices of conservatives, who had a slight upper hand because of the third-place finish in the '02 World Cup, began to diminish. It is reported that a group of legendary fathers of German football, such as Beckenbauer, have begun urgent consultations with the German Football Association on the reform of Degu football. In addition, Karn, who staged the butter hand scene in the final stage of the game, also became the target of public criticism.

Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Porto and Lao Lei, and what the outside world gives them is a voice of praise for merit. Especially Lao Lei, with this game, his personal reputation has risen to a new level. In Portugal, it has even emerged that Lao Lei should be the voice of the leader of the Portuguese national team at this year's European Championships. In the eyes of these people, compared to Rui Costa and Figo, who have been in ups and downs in both AC Milan and Real Madrid this season, Lao Lei, who is in hot form and very stable, is undoubtedly more qualified to become the leader of the national team.

Although these sounds are still very small. But it's like a seed, it will take root sooner or later. It grows into a great tree in the sky. Now when the media is reporting on Lao Lei, the words "new star" and "genius" are starting to diminish. His status as a powerhouse star is beginning to be recognized. Compared with Ronaldo and Quaresma, Lao Lei is undoubtedly firmly in the lead. Portugal's Sport newspaper even made such a prediction: "This is the year of Reima. The rising star's rise to the top is astounding. There is no doubt that he will be one of the most talked-about in this year's summer transfer market. As for his worth, it is estimated that no one can make an accurate estimate now. Regardless, Remaier managed to reach the first peak of his career. ”

In addition, some small tidbits of this game have also attracted great attention. The fighting style between Lao Lei and Bayern fans, and the story between Lao Lei and Demichaelis and Jeremes have attracted the curiosity of many media. Soon the lip pundits cracked the old ray after Porto's second goal. In the face of Demichelis's words, the word "Demichelis Roundabout" suddenly became a hot search word. Lao Lei's small action of tripping over Jerry Hearts was also betrayed in slow motion and exposed to everyone. In this regard, England's "The Sun" said: "Every club that wants to bring in this young Portuguese player in the summer should think about it before buying him. That is, whether his own head coach has the ability to submit this new generation of bad boys in European football. ”

In an interview with the media after the game, Jeremes and Demichaelis also faced the camera and criticized Lao Lei, saying that Lao Lei has no professionalism. on this. Lao Lei only replied in front of the camera: "I never said that I was a good gentleman." That's my style of play, it's enough to have people who like me. As for what other people think of me, who cares. Anyway, I don't care. Such a straightforward answer. made Lao Lei's character a hot topic of discussion again. However, in the end, these became the nourishment that made Lao Lei's fame rise. Now as the agent of the old Ray. Mendez is the busiest and receives a lot of calls every day. There's about transfers, there's also about commercial endorsements. In Mendes' words. It's like: "I'm and caught a chicken that lays golden eggs." ”

However, this storm of public opinion was soon attracted a lot of attention by the other 1/8 knockout matches that began later. One of the most eye-catching is the rivalry between Super Laco and Juventus, as well as Real Madrid and Manchester United. Among them, Super Laco once again showed his true colors as a giant killer, defeating the Serie A Old Lady 1:0 at home and taking the lead. If the result of this game is normal and acceptable, then Manchester United's 3-1 away win over Real Madrid shocked everyone.

The first thought of everyone after learning about this result was that today was almost April Fool's Day. The famous Galaxy Battleship lost three shots in a row in front of the Red Devils Manchester United, and such an outcome may not have been predicted by anyone before the game. Even the most ardent Manchester United fan would have guessed that his team would win so easily and smoothly on the road. However, after seeing the whole process of the game, you have to be like this, and it is normal for the result of the game to be like this.

I don't know if it was inspired after watching the match between Porto and Real Madrid, but the tactics arranged by Ferguson in this game are the same as those of Porto against Real Madrid, pressing close to each other and attacking on the wing. On the defensive end, under the leadership of Keane, Real Madrid's superstars were forced to even dare not break through with the ball in the end, and the spikes of Manchester United players became the nightmare of Real Madrid's superstars in this game. On the offensive side, Salgado's right side was plugged by Willis's wing king Giggs, and the starting point of the three goals was Giggs's left side. Due to the collapse of the defense on the right, Real Madrid's defence is almost undefended for Manchester United.

Manchester United's tactics in attack are very simple, which is to keep high balls and attack Real Madrid's back line. Queiroz used the diminutive Bravo to play double central defence, which became the biggest failure. The two of them were unable to put up the slightest resistance against the tall, strong Manchester United players. The King of the Small Box scored two goals and Ryan Giggs scored a goal as Manchester United beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. It could even be argued that if it weren't for a couple of saves from young goalkeeper Iker Casillas and David Beckham's goal from a direct free-kick late in the game, Real Madrid would have suffered a historic defeat. The first meeting of this season's Champions League between these two giant clubs that created countless topics in the summer of '03 would end in such an ending that I am afraid no one could have imagined.

After the game, Queiroz and Ferguson had a direct conversation, Beckham faced his old boss and a series of pre-match gimmicks, none of which were as attractive as that scoreline. At the Bernabeu Stadium, the moment the final whistle blew, the stands once again appeared with a white handkerchief with La Liga characteristics. Real Madrid fans use this way to express their dissatisfaction with the team's table, why we have the best players, but play such a bad game, this has become a question for every Real Madrid fan after the game. Florentino's one-a-year superstar recruitment policy is beginning to be questioned. The whole Real Madrid team was inevitably condemned by the media and fans. In front of the galactic battleship, the wind and rain are shaking.

No one would have thought that in the second leg, the old and spicy Ferguson would give Real Madrid a chance to turn the tables. Even if Keane received a red card for stepping on Zidane in this game, he will miss the next leg of the battle between the two teams. The major media in Europe ended their reports with the words that Real Madrid's Champions League road ended again this season.

While these public opinions are intensifying, Porto have returned to their training base and quietly prepared for the start of the next round of the league. Although the next league game is against arch-rivals Sporting Lisbon, Mourinho still tried his best to start with Porto's second-tier squad in consideration of the fitness and form of the players. All the main players stayed in the training base and did not take them to Lisbon. In the end, Porto's second team was also away from home, with tenacious defense, withstood more than 90 minutes of bombardment at the José Alvalad Stadium and achieved a difficult draw. In the second half of the season, Porto still maintained their unbeaten record.

After returning to their home stadium, Porto will face the challenge of the national team on their home turf in the next round of the league. The chaos caused by the first meeting between the two teams this season has not been forgotten by the fans. Lao Lei also remembers his red card very well, and he has been secretly gearing up for a long time. Although the second leg of the 1/8 knockout match with Bayern Munich will be ushered in four days later, Mourinho still put him off the starting list at the insistence of Lao Lei. However, Mourinho also gave Lao Lei some restrictions, first of all, the playing time was only half a game. Then no matter if Lao Lei takes the card, or the opponent fouls Lao Lei and takes the card, Lao Lei will be replaced immediately. This is also Mourinho's consideration for fear of Lao Lei's injury and trouble, and Lao Lei is indispensable if the current Porto wants to go further.

The time soon came to the day of the game, the referee of this game, was specially appointed by the Portuguese Football Association in consideration of the actual situation of the game, and was a well-known referee of the Portuguese Super League with extremely strict law enforcement. Under the referee's control, the Nationals' foul defensive tactics were useless. Although the national team also said before the game that they wanted to give Porto an ugly look at the Dragons Stadium, only 6 minutes into the game, they themselves were beaten hard by Lao Lei. After Lao Lei won the ball in the front court, he drove straight in.

After hitting the wall with his teammates twice in a row, Lao Lei took the ball directly to the front of the penalty area of the national team. Outside the big forbidden area, Lao Lei used the strength of his whole body to directly hit the door with a strong blow like anger. A soccer ball is like a cannonball out of the chamber, hanging straight into the dead end. The Nationals goalkeeper had no choice but to watch the football go into the net.

After scoring the goal, Lao Lei also ran to the bench of the national team excitedly, took off his jersey, and then lifted it high in front of the bench of the national team.

Porto's No.13 shirt fluttered in front of the Nacional bench.

Like a battle flag that symbolizes the conqueror.

And next to it, there is a smug smile, very proud.

Lao Lei once again told everyone that there is a character in the world called Jairs.

And that's what he is. (To be continued......)
