On the night when Barcelona arrived in Porto, Lao Lei asked Ronaldinho out, and as the host, he should also treat his good friends well. Old Ray knows that Ronaldinho, like other Brazilian players, loves barbecue and nightclubs. However, Lao Lei will not go to the nightclub, and the barbecue is still negotiable. Lao Lei specially called the chef for this purpose, held a small barbecue party, and called Costa and a few other Porto players.

However, Ronaldinho did not come alone, with a short young player with him, and the elder Lei felt that he only looked 15 or 6 years old. Seeing Lao Lei who came out to greet him, Ronaldinho showed his trademark bucktooth smile and greeted Lao Lei with a hug. Then he pointed to the short young man next to him and introduced: "Introduction, his name is Leo Messi, you can Messi, Argentine, 16 years old, very talented." “

Originally, Lao Lei didn't care about this short young man, and thought that he was the little brother who had a good relationship with Ronaldinho. It wasn't until he heard Ronaldinho say that his talent was very good that Lao Lei paid attention to it. Geniuses are arrogant, and geniuses like Ronaldinho are even more so, and if he praises him and says that the talent is very good, then this person must not be simple. Lao Lei stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "My name is Lei Maya, you can call me Lei Ma." The young man named Messi was obviously a little shy, and he was embarrassed to reach out and hold Lao Lei's hand, and said, "Just call me Leo." Seeing Messi's expression, Lao Lei had a good impression of him. Such a youthful expression, Lao Lei doesn't know how long he hasn't seen it, young people in the West are precocious. It's so open that Lao Lei can't accept it.

Although it is said that there is no alcohol at the party, only some alcoholic beverages. Let Ronaldinho complain slightly to Lao Lei. But fortunately, the chef's barbecue made him very satisfied, and at the same time, he almost knew the usual style of Lao Lei. I didn't care. A meal can be regarded as a joy for the guests and the host. Of course, in the middle, there is also an indispensable quarrel that does not admit defeat. After another bet, Lao Lei sent Ronaldinho and Messi away. As for the bet, it's a sports car.

Since he made a bet in front of everyone, it would be a loss of face if he lost again, Lao Lei has also burst out with great enthusiasm in the past few days, and he has stepped up training and adjusted his state. Such enthusiasm for training naturally attracted the attention of the whole team of Porto. Under the revelation of several people who attended the party. Soon even Mourinho knew about the bet between Lao Lei and Ronaldinho. In private, Porto's teammates also patted their chests to ensure that they would not release water and help Lao Lei win a sports car back. Even in daily training, Mourinho jokes about that. He would often shout from the sidelines, "Hurry, hurry, try!" Reima's sports car depends on you. Every time it caused everyone to laugh, Lao Lei could only bury his head and ignore this group of unscrupulous people.

It was 7 o'clock in the evening on the day of the game. The warm-up match between Porto and Barcelona still aroused the interest of many Porto fans. Although the attendance rate is not as high as usual, it is still very impressive, and the seats in the stands of the Dragon Stadium are also seven or eight percent sitting. After the match against Real Madrid. Porto fans are desperate to see Porto play against the giants. The two meetings with Real Madrid have given Porto fans confidence, so they are also very keen to see Porto beat the giants. After all, such treatment. Porto fans have already encountered it. Although it was only a warm-up match, the fans of Porto showed absolute enthusiasm. The atmosphere of the Dragon Stadium is very warm.

Both sides of the game were already on the field at this time. Due to the nature of the game as a warm-up match. So naturally, it won't be as rigid as a regular game. As soon as the players from both sides came up, it was like saying hello to each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. In such an atmosphere, when the live DJ introduced Barcelona's starting line-up, the Porto fans also gave a rare cheer to the visiting team.

Porto wore the home team's blue and white jersey, while Barcelona wore a gold away jersey. In terms of line-up, Porto fielded their strongest 4-2-3-1 formation, while Barcelona played in a 4-3-3 formation. At the back were captain Puyol, Anderson, Marquis and Blonkshorst. Three midfielders at the back Pena, all-round midfielder Motta, and forward midfielder Gyuli. The front three are Kluivert, Saviola and Ronaldinho.

It is worth mentioning that due to the long period of not being able to integrate into the Barcelona lineup, Quaresma did not enter the starting lineup and sat on the bench off the field. He looked at Lao Lei on the field, his eyes were a little complicated. At first, he went to Camp Nou with full pride, but the situation was not as good as he imagined. Unable to integrate into the team for a long time, his days on the bench have been getting longer and longer. Due to the lack of enough game time, he was able to compare with Lao Lei in Portugal, but the distance between him and Lao Lei has become farther and farther.

Even his younger brother Cristiano Ronaldo, who is far away at Old Trafford, has a better life than him, Ferguson gave Ronaldo absolute support and ensured that he had enough playing time, and Ronaldo's table was gradually picking up, and his table was at the level it should be. To make matters worse, Quaresma's position in the national team has become precarious, with Scolari relying more heavily on Benfica's Simão than his lack of playing time. Compared with Lao Lei, who is currently popular all over Europe, Quaresma's life is really different.

And Lao Lei naturally didn't notice that there was a frustrated old man on the bench in Barcelona, who showed jealousy to him. At this time, the game on the field has already begun, and Barcelona is not a strange opponent to Lao Lei, he has played against them in the copy of the system, but it was Barcelona during the Cruyff period. Although the Barcelona tactics of Rijkaard's time were different from those of Cruyff, there were some similarities, such as the same emphasis on possession and the same emphasis on attacking instead of defending.

After the start of the game, it was first Barcelona who had possession. Looking at the opponent's skillful and smooth reversing of the ball, Lao Lei believed it, and it is estimated that no matter when, this ability to control the ball will be Barcelona's housekeeping skills. Although Lao Lei was actively running with Kostiani on the field, he also knew in his heart that it was too difficult to cut off the football at Barcelona's feet like this. Barcelona's passing control is fast and accurate, and the defenders are very controlling. And Lao Lei didn't plan to break the ball, his strategy was to force the opponent's pass back and let them pass back. In Lao Lei's view, whether it is Cruyff's Barcelona or Rijkaard's Barcelona, there is a fatal weakness, that is, the scheduling of the opponent is not enough. When the transmission control can't consume enough body of the other party, then it's boring counting. In the face of a dense defense, it is often the most common tactic to consume the opponent's body and then take the fatal blow when the opponent is tired.

This was the case with Cruyff's Rijkaard's Barcelona, who had plenty of possession but were disproportionate to their possession. Although Lao Lei is not a professional head coach, he can also think that against such a Barcelona, a sharp, fast, and impactful counterattack is their dead end. And now Lao Lei is playing on the field with this idea, he commanded his teammates to retreat in formation, and played a gesture of counterattacking tactics. And Porto's players have long been accustomed to Lao Lei's orders on the field, so they obediently retreated, ready to counterattack.

Faced with such a situation, Barcelona's midfield position took the initiative to move back a little and began to use long passes to dispatch Barcelona's attacking personnel in a wide range. In the sixth minute of the first half, Motta played a long ball to Ronaldinho, who was up front. In the face of Lao Lei's grabbing, Ronaldinho did not dare to slack off, and while resisting the interference of Lao Lei behind him, he stretched out his right foot to stop the football steadily. The football was like sticking to his feet, which allowed him to do the next moves without having to make too many adjustments.

With a light pull ball turn, Ronaldinho turned to face Lao Lei. His right foot kept moving around the soccer ball, and his body swayed in various ways, but he just didn't touch the soccer ball. Lao Lei was also very stable at this time and did not stretch his legs, he knew that as long as he stretched his legs, he would definitely be directly cleaned by Ronaldinho. As a good friend, Lao Lei is naturally very aware of Ronaldinho's strength. In the 02 World Cup, Ronaldinho had Rivaldo and Ronaldo's presence on his head, which was not his Brazilian team and could not really play Ronaldinho's strength. And Lao Lei knows very well that Ronaldinho's own strength at this time is not inferior to the current Rivaldo and Ronaldo, and even faintly born. And the gap is widening, and he's still growing.

Seeing that Lao Lei was not shaken, Ronaldinho did not mean to be anxious at all. He looked at Saviola on the other side and made a gesture of wanting to pass the ball. However, the pass was flicked off the outside of his left foot and into Kluivert, who was slotting in diagonally from the middle. Lao Lei was also deceived by him, and let the football roll past him without blocking it. And in the stands of the Dragon Stadium, there was also an exclamation, Ronaldinho's current moment was exactly the same as Lao Lei's non-watching pass. Although this kind of pass is not Lao Lei's first creation, it is also a surprise to Porto fans to see Ronaldinho use it.

Porto's defence was also clearly lacking in this regard, and Costa did not keep an eye on it when Kluivert rushed out. By the time he rushed over to block, Kluivert had already adjusted and was ready to shoot. Although the shot eventually missed the post, it really shocked the Porto backline in a cold sweat.

Lao Lei saw that the football did not score, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and prepared to continue the game.

And when he turned around, he saw a familiar smiling face with buckteeth.

Full of good-natured triumph and fun.

Although he is a good friend, Lao Lei is still very unhappy.

Deliberately turned his head away from Ronaldinho's face and returned to his position, ready for the game.

The heart said, "Let's see!" Hum!! (To be continued......)
