Chapter Ninety-Eight: Before the Coming (1)

"Benny! Benny!! Single Knife, Shot!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! In the 20 minutes of the first half, Leiria was the first to break the deadlock. Remaia's instigation, Andrea's playmaking, McCarthy's shot, this is Leiria's most classic attacking combination in the second half of the season. Remayer didn't look at people and became the shining pearl of this offense. "The Municipal Stadium in Braga was quiet for a while. Now every game, every goal may be the last to decide the league title. So Leiria's players, after scoring the goal, looked excited and stacked up Roshan.

Braga, who was already not high in fighting spirit because of no desire and no desire, now shows a ball, and his fighting spirit is even more low. Mentally relaxed, they let go of the game and did not retreat, but boldly attacked and played offensive football with Leiria. The scene is fast-paced and looks good. The fans of Braga, who are already famous for their madness in Portuguese football, have fully expressed their enthusiasm. Braga's cheers and cheers on the ball were evident from Leiria's boos on the ball.

The resistance was not very strong, so after taking the lead, Leiria's players appeared relaxed. However, Braga, who has no baggage in his heart, played a super-level performance on the offensive end. When handling the ball, it looks very elegant, and plays the most classic Iberian Peninsula style of play. The offensive wave, wave after wave, endlessly, echoed the cries of Braga fans.

Lao Lei, who was in the midfield, slowly felt uneasy. His teammates were too relaxed, giving Braga's players too much space, and now the opponent's interest has been played, the passing and running are well combined, and the break is particularly difficult. Lao Lei felt that running alone was no longer enough, and was about to remind his friend loudly.

At this time, Braggi played a delicate attack, and two or three people in a row touched the ball on the flank, breaking through Leiria's wide defense. Braga's wingers crossed in front of goal, and their strikers flanked in place and made a deft block. In the 25th minute, Braga equalised.

This goal made Mourinho on the sidelines very dissatisfied, his own disciples were too relaxed, you must know that the victory will not run into your hands by itself. If you make the other party crazy, the result will be difficult to control. He rushed to the sidelines and scolded his disciples, hoping to get them back together. However, the nerves sent down do not mean that they can be tightened up. Especially when they just conceded a goal, the morale of the players was a little low and a little frustrated.

Leiria's fans, who had followed the team to Braga, were a little depressed, knowing that a loss in one game at such a critical moment could determine the outcome of the entire season. Although I am very confident in the strength of my team, I inevitably lift my heart.

The same goes for Kayla in the stands, and Kayla is not the kind of girl who doesn't understand the ball. She knows how important all the games during this period are to her boyfriend, and if she can lead the team to win the league championship in the first season, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement, and it will play a good role in setting the stage for Reima's future career. Leiria's fans didn't know that the beautiful girl sitting in the middle of him, looking nervous, clenching her fists and wearing sunglasses, was the real girlfriend of her darling.

And the situation of Leiria's players after conceding the goal made them even more uneasy. Everyone could not sit still, and every now and then they had to stand up and let out a cry of rejoicing. The Braga fans, on the other hand, played their passion to the highest point of the first half so far.

This kind of emotion makes it impossible for Leiria's players to concentrate their attention. And because the Braga players were stimulated by the goals and the fans' voices, they were very excited at this time, and in turn launched a crazy rush against Leiria in the front court. This made the mentally ill-state Leiria players handle the ball in their own half of the court and look flustered, and Old Ray couldn't control the ball well at all. Under the pressure of the other party, their teammates often choose to drive big feet to the front court very helplessly and impatiently.

It didn't work out well, though, and it wasn't a familiar attack for Leiria. McCarthy, who was up front, was under the control of Braga's defenders and couldn't hold the football at all. Braga thoroughly grasped the situation on the field and suppressed Leiria.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, couldn't sit still, and walked nervously back and forth in a small area on the sidelines, yelling at the disciples on the field from time to time. This can only be used as a supervision, football is not basketball can be called a timeout and rearranged. Jose Mourinho will have to wait until half-time before he can coach his players.

At this time, Lao Lei had already returned to the front of the penalty area, and wanted to help the team stabilize the situation first. At this time, Carabar's pass was light, and Braga's striker grabbed it first, forming a good offensive opportunity. Lao Lei is quick with his feet, and he directly slids and shovels the ball. Lying on the ground with a stab, the ball was handed to a terrified Calaba, and Braga's threatening attack was eliminated. This made the Braga fans in the stands stand up again and exclaim. Kayla almost wanted to yell, are you trying to ruin my boyfriend's first championship?

After turning Caraba, he faced the pressure of Braga's players again, and in a hurry he chose a more secure way, driving directly to the front court and flying out of the sideline. Exhaled, turned around and pulled Lao Lei up from the ground, and hugged Lao Lei gratefully. If it weren't for Lao Lei's timely counterattack just now, if Braga had become an attack, it was very likely that he would have been scored again. In that case, it's going to be a really hard game to say, and then it will affect the competition for the league title. In that case, Calaba would be a sinner.

In fact, Lao Lei wanted to lose his temper very much at this time. However, when I thought of the mental state of the team at this time, I endured it, and now is not the time to blame, but to appease. Lao Lei clapped his hands to encourage his teammates, and pressed his hands down to make a gesture to show calm. This onslaught was still a big drain on Braga's players, and in the 40th minute of the first half, Leiria finally stood firm. However, there was not much time left in the first half, and the first half was 1:1, and the two teams played to a draw.

Such a result has already made Braga fans very excited. Some people are starting to fantasize about their team beating Leiria at home. If it happens, it will be a surprise gift for Braga fans. And judging from the situation in the first half, it is indeed not impossible.

At this time, in Leiria's dressing room, there was a silent silence. In the first half, their performance was indeed extremely bad. However, to their surprise, they waited for a long time and did not see Mourinho walk in to give a lecture. After waiting for a while, Britto opened the door and entered. He looked at the players staring at him and said, "Your heads, you want me to talk." He said he wouldn't make any changes in midfield, he had everything set up and all that was left was the executioner. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be a word of blame, but what it actually means is that I have done my job, and it is your responsibility to play badly, and you have not played well.

The words may have put Leiria's players to shame more than Mourinho scolding them. Especially in the first half, several players who frequently made mistakes that should not have been made, Calaba and Raio have lowered their heads, and the two of them are the most serious. Jose Mourinho played beautifully, and that guilt would have made these players even more motivated. Among the Leiria players after a while, the flash of fighting spirit is the best proof of this.

At this time, Mourinho was sitting in the coach's box on the sidelines, with his hands on his chest, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. Braga's commentator also noticed him, and joked with a smile: "It seems that our team is putting a lot of pressure on Leiria." Look, our Mr. Mourinho, was he beaten stupid by us? Ha Lu Ha. It also caused a burst of laughter from Braga's grandstand fans. Hearing this somewhat sarcastic laugh, Mourinho himself did not make any statement, but only a clear chill flashed in his eyes. His heart was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Soon, Leiria's players came out. Their mental outlook has clearly changed a lot from the first half. When they came on the pitch, they didn't look at Mourinho's face, but went straight to the pitch, as if they had forgotten about the manager. Such an attitude also made some Braga people think that Leiria was infighting. The on-site commentary was even more mercilessly sarcastic: "Roar, hey, Mr. Mourinho, can't you control this group of children under your command?" ”

But as soon as the second half started, everything was different for Braga as it was in the first half. Braga were once again pressing like in the first half, and they didn't have the same effect as they did in the first half, with Leiria's players clearly running more aggressively, passing and receiving the ball on the run. Once again, Leiria played her own run-and-run ball, and Ray was at the heart of their passing.

Braga, who could no longer break the ball easily, was slowly forced back into their own half. In the 54th minute of the second half, Lao Lei and Andre played a tacit cooperation with Andre again in the midfield. This time, Lao Lei pulled to the left side where Ugo was, and after playing a one-two with Ugo on the side, Lao Lei unexpectedly went to the bottom by himself.

When he met Braga's defenders on the baseline, Lao Lei once again used a long-unused Φ trick to play Braga's right wing-back who thought he had stopped him. The appearance of the Φ trick once again made the fans in the stands exclaim, which was the greatest manifestation of the imagination of genius. The difference is that the Braga fans are a little scared and exclaim, while the Leiria fans are proud to exclaim, and Kayla is the proudest, this is his own man.

The old thunder that broke through along the bottom line made Braga's defense line jump. Perhaps the image of Lao Lei's usual passing is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Braga's central defenders only blocked Lao Lei's crossing angle, and ignored the small shooting angle, even their goalkeeper. It's no wonder that most of Lao Lei's goals this season are long-range shots from outside the penalty area, and when there are shooting opportunities at other times, they are mostly passed to his teammates who are better positioned. It's a kind of habitual thinking.

But what they didn't know was that it was the old thunder who was on the field today. Young people who are nourished by love will always make unusual and unexpected moves. In particular, Lao Lei held back for a whole first half, and the team's situation could only make him choose to defend and not be able to make a good performance on the offensive end. He was holding his back today to get a goal.

At this time, Lao Lei directly chose to volley vigorously into the near corner. The shot that was out of the way of the Braga defence, fast past the goalkeeper's hands, flew into the goal, crashed into the net, and rushed into a large bag. 2:1, Leiria finally exceeded the score again and took back the initiative in the game.

After scoring the goal, Lao Lei ran directly to Kayla's stands, drew a big heart shape with his own hands, and blew it towards the stands. Kayla looked at Lao Lei's action, and was naturally full of sweetness.

Mourinho, on the other hand, did not celebrate, but turned to the position of the on-site commentary, and waved a slap in the face with his right hand, wondering if Lu Dao was deliberately facing this direction.

The two masters and apprentices, one shows love and the other pays tribute, complementing each other.
