By the time Leiria's bus arrived at the Magalhais Stadium, Leiria was already packed with home fans who had come to watch the game. Leiria is a small city in the central west of Portugal with a combined population of only 100,000, but this artsy metropolis has spared no expense in supporting its home team. Every match day, a large number of fans come to Magalhayes Stadium to cheer on Leiria.

Today, however, it was clearly even hotter, not only because it was the first race of the new season, but also because the opponent was their arch-rival, Université Coimbra. It sounds more like the name of a university, but the team's origins are legendary, and it has a close relationship with the University of Coimbra. The team was founded by a group of amateur students and is by far the longest-running school sports organisation in Portugal. After the professionalization of football in Portugal, the University of Coimbra Ball Club was formed by the student union of the University of Coimbra, which led this amateur team to professional football. The number of fans of this team is now supported by the generations of students and alumni of the University of Coimbra due to its long history, ranking 4th in Portugal, after the top 3 of the Portuguese Super League.

The city of Coimbra is stronger than Leiria in every way, and due to the proximity of the two cities, they also have a Portuguese Super League team. The competition between cities is gradually given to the competition in football. The game between them is also known as the "Leish River Derby", of course, in terms of team strength, these two teams are not giants, so this derby is also rarely paid attention to by the outside world except for themselves. However, this did not reduce the intensity of competition between fans and teams. And last season Leiria suppressed the University of Coimbra, which made the Leilia happy for a season. The University of Coimbra, on the other hand, is always thinking about revenge, and the defeat against Leiria last season also led to the dismissal of the head coach of the University of Coimbra.

Both teams have changed their managers for the new season, which has caused a war of words between the two cities before the first game of the new season begins. On the one hand, the newspaper La Vida de Coimbra said: "Leiria is crazy enough to make a halfway monk a translator the head coach." I've even seen the massacre of Leiria at the University of Coimbra. Here, the "Leiria Sports Newspaper" immediately shot back: "I don't know who was killed by us last season, I have never seen such an arrogant loser, and he actually expressed contempt for the winner." ”

"Last season was just history, the future we were looking for."

"The future is really a joke, how I don't know that the future is said by a mouth. It seems that college students are going back to school to continue their studies, and they only know how to talk big, but they can't support themselves. ”

While Lao Lei was practicing hard behind closed doors, the media in the two cities had already begun to warm up for the game. If Mourinho hadn't banned reporters from interviewing, Lao Lei would not have been able to train so calmly and in space. Before the game, the media in Coimbra repeatedly used Mourinho to come out and use him as a point of attack. It seems that Mourinho's pre-match declaration of victory is also for a reason, and Coimbra's media have not known that their reports have angered a very special manager, but it is no wonder who has made Mourinho still famous.

Shortly after Lao Lei and the others walked into the locker room of the stadium amid the cheers of Lei Lei, the cheers suddenly turned into huge boos, and the bus from the University of Coimbra arrived. By the time the players from the University of Coimbra got off the bus, the boos reached their peak. Although there are also fans of the University of Coimbra who come with the team, after all, they are too numerically advantageous to do anything. There are also a lot of security guards and police outside the stadium to maintain order, as long as there are signs of conflict between the fans of both sides, they will come forward to take away, so as not to break out of a big conflict, the riot behavior of fans has always been the highlight of the stadium security work.

After the old Ray and the others quickly changed into their jerseys in the locker room, Britto led them out of the locker room for a warm-up exercise. In the stadium, there were already a lot of Leiria fans seated, and when they saw that the fans of the team had come out to warm up, they immediately cheered loudly. Lao Lei was wearing a substitute jersey and doing a simple pass to warm up, and he was also looking for his family in the stands, but he never saw it. Under the cheers of the fans, Lao Lei couldn't stop having an idea, I want to be a hero, I want to get their cheers. Of course, when the University of Coimbra team came out to warm up, the cheers suddenly turned into boos.

Old Ray looked at the players from the University of Coimbra with interest to see what their expressions were in this situation. It's a pity that Lao Lei was a little disappointed, it seemed that they had long been used to this situation, and their faces were calm, and they didn't care about the boos of the Leiria fans. Laio, who was next to Old Ray, came to his side and whispered, "Leima pay attention to the other party's bald head No. 25. “

Lao Lei followed his gaze and saw a bald guy facing the vicious, turned his head to look at Laio and asked, "Is he very powerful?" “

Raio said with some meaning: "His name is Keelho and he plays in a defensive midfield position. Known for his fierce defensive movements, he has a nickname in the Portuguese Super League, and everyone calls him a 'killing machine'. Today, if you get a chance to play, he's the most troublesome guy against you. After hearing this, Lao Lei looked at the bald Keelho and nodded, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

After the warm-up time, Brito called the players back to the dressing room, and Mourinho had to give the final tactical training and speech. By the time the players from both teams had returned to their locker rooms, the commentators on the pitch had their work.

"Hey, everyone. I'm an old friend to everyone, Florno. The new Portuguese Super League season has begun, and in the first game we have met the pesky Universidad de Coimbra, hoping that our team can kick their ass hard and kick them back to the University of Coimbra classroom. ”

Florno's voice also caused echoes and laughter from the fans present. As the commentator for Leiria's home stadium, he doesn't say anything bullshit and fairness, it's a football derby full of grudges. Justice is nothing in this moment, football comes first.

"Oh, big guy. I just got a message. Our new manager, Mr Jose Mourinho, spoke to the media before the game and made the winning message. And Mr. Mourino, the new head coach of the University of Coimbra, also made a winning statement in the subsequent interview. Well, hopefully our head coach can live up to what he said, a meal from the University of Coimbra. "Although Forano doesn't trust Mourinho a little bit in his heart, he still has to help his own people on this occasion, and he also hopes that Mourinho has a real level."

"It's good that I already have the starting lists of both teams in my hands. First of all, the goalkeeper of the Leiria team: Lemato No. 1, and the defender: Ze. Antonio 7, Victor. Moreno No. 16, Ben. Arnold No. 5, Raio No. 8, midfielders: Andre No. 10, Ruben. Brigido No. 6, Silas No. 11, Hugo No. 25, Bruno No. 12, Striker: Ivan No. 9. Calabar, the team's main defender last season, was unable to play due to injury, and he was replaced by substitute midfielder No. 11 Silas. Without Calaba's barrier in the midfield, it is not whether Dauciras can fill the vacancy in Calaba's role, which is the key to today's game and one of the highlights. In addition, the main lineup of last season is basically the same, and it is not known whether the tactics have changed. Then there are the starting goalkeepers of Universitate Coimbra: Peze No. 1, defenders: Euripedes No. 2, Nunez No. 4, Borg No. 5, midfielders: Moraes No. 7, Grillo No. 13, De Mello No. 50, Coelho No. 25, forwards: Amesan No. 6, Sogu No. 18, Valente No. 23. It seems that Mr. Mourino is very confident, he has put out a 4-3-3 attacking line-up, I really don't know who gave him the confidence, you know that this backline of Leiria has been tested by the teams in the Portuguese Super League last season. “

While Florno was giving some information about the two teams, Mourinho was in the dressing room doing the most difficult game mobilization. He waved his hands, like an orator, and exclaimed passionately, "Guys, this is the start of a great season." When I was asked before the game if I would feel pressured to face the University of Coimbra at the start of the race, I just replied 'we will win'. This season we are aiming for European competitions, who cares what bullshit about the University of Coimbra, we want European teams. They have come to the door, and they are the tribute of our best flag. The head coach of this team went so far as to say before the game that they would win. Listen to the cheers of the fans outside and tell them this is Leiria, this is Magalhayes, and we're the fucking hosts. ”

Mourinho said, came to the door with a "bang", pushed the door of the dressing room hard, and said: "Go and tell them that our territory is here, and it is not their turn to come here to spread wild." Kick them back into the classrooms of the University of Coimbra! Go ahead!! Mourinho's words instigated the blood of Deleria's players, and their will to fight reached its peak. The players walked out of the locker room in high spirits, raising their heads one by one, like proud warriors. Lao Lei was also excited at this time, and he couldn't wait to play right away, but because he was only a substitute at the moment, he could only look at this group of starters with envy and go to the tunnel to line up for admission.

"All right, gentlemen and ladies. The first game of the new season in Leiria is about to begin. The players from both sides came out and first let's play for our captain Ben. Arnold cheered. "The next entrance ceremony is the best embodiment of the extreme. When the players of the Leiria team were introduced, it was a huge cheer, and when it came to the players of the University of Coimbra, there were boos from the audience. This is the passion of football, this is the big scene of the war between mortal enemies, there is no mercy, and the winner is king.

When it came time to guess the coin, Ben got the full force to pick the side, and the ball was won by the University of Coimbra. After taking their respective photos, the players of both sides held a handshake ceremony. Of course, between two rival teams, you don't want to see any loving pictures. The players of Leiria and the University of Coimbra both had cold faces and shook hands with the opposing players in front of them. Then, the football was placed in the center of the pitch, and the referee had already started to check the watch, and soon after that, there was a "beep", the whistle was blown, and the game began.

"Well, the referee blew the game. The first round of the 2001/02 Portuguese Super League season between Leiria and Universitaria de Coimbra began. Attacking from left to right, the away team Universitatea Coimbra in the blue jersey and the home team Leiria in the black and white jersey attacking from right to left. Away Universitario Coimbra won possession first. The commentary on the local TV station also began.

The home commentator Volano passionately commented: "Universitaria Coimbra serves. Oh, striker Amesan immediately cut forward after the pass was returned, and Grillo in midfield made a pick pass to pass back to Amesan. It seems that want to fight a raid, who will stop them. … Roar, well done. Raio, our vice-captain, steals the ball from the feet of Amesan. Nice defense. Oh, and the referee blew the whistle to signal it was a foul. Well, although Amesan fell to the ground, it was a clean defense, and the decision was debatable. ”

However, the players from the University of Coimbra did not do it and surrounded Raio. And Leiria, for her part, is not to be outdone.

"What do the players of the University of Coimbra want to do, do they want to make trouble? This is Magalhayes, so they'd better figure it out. “

The competition started in a fierce atmosphere at the very beginning.
