Just 10 minutes into the game, the Portuguese league leaders were 1-0 behind third-division side Alcochetans. It was a surprise to everyone before the game, and Alcochetans got off to a dream start. With a one-goal lead, they can be more resolute in defending and counterattacking, and they can even defend directly with the tactics of swinging the bus. You must know that this kind of tactic is a huge problem faced by all the attacking teams and attacking players in world football, not to mention Leiria's team, which is not known for its attack.

But fortunately, after a series of hard battles in the league, the Leiria players, who have greatly improved their psychological quality, although they were a little frustrated because of this goal, did not mess up their own lineup because of it. The tenacity that characterizes a strong team is evident in this Leiria.

Leiria, who conceded a goal first, adopted a more cautious style of play and did not rush to recover the score and pressed too hard. Lao Lei stayed in the front court more at this time, and Caraba behind him took on the role of a protector more. Feeling that it was extremely difficult to penetrate the short pass in the front court, Lao Lei also had to take out the long pass that he had not yet used, and signaled his teammates to increase the number of long shots to pull Alcochetans' defenders out of the penalty area, and not blindly kill them in the penalty area.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, looked at Lao Lei, who was directing his teammates to adjust the attack on the field, clasped his hands to his chest, and smiled with some relief. Brito, who was on the sidelines, walked over and whispered, "José, don't you indicate some tactical changes?" Now the advantage we have achieved in our tactics is too small. “

"Instructions? Isn't Reimama instructing? Mourinho replied lightly, with a hint of relief in his tone. It's not often that Mourinho is a perfectionist, but it's not often when the team is behind.

"I'm happy, Brito. Reema finally had a bit of a sense of commandery, and he began to read the opposing defense, as well as adjust the offensive focus of his teammates in time. In the first two months of the race, Reima barely had to think on his own, which was my tactical decision. In just one week, he can make this kind of progress, and it is not easy. He didn't let me down, Brie. If Reima keeps up this rate of progress, Brie, and perhaps a future football superstar will be born in our hands. Mourinho seemed to be very talkative and continued to his own heart. Who would have thought that the layman 2 months ago would now be a well-known future star in Portuguese football.

Just when these two people were very pleased and appreciative of Lao Lei's progress, Leiria on the field finally slowly took the initiative on the field because of Lao Lei's command and kicked out his due performance. The only drawback may be that Lao Lei's long pass does not seem to be precise, and the three consecutive long passes are divided into sides, either so big that Ugo and Bruno can't reach the whip, or they go directly out of the sideline. However, Leiria's teammates also know that Lao Lei's trick has only been practiced for a short week, and it is understandable that coupled with Lao Lei's good popularity in the team, no one blames Lao Lei.

And now because the Leiria players have obviously increased the number of long-range shots in the past few minutes, the players of Alcochetans have to force out. In this way, Leiria's players can play with short passes in the front court, and they become more relaxed. In addition, as a Portuguese Super League team, the quality of Leiria's players is also significantly higher than that of the opponent, which makes the success rate very high when facing a defense line that is no longer congested, when Ugo and other arrows choose to break through one-on-one. And at this time, Alkchestan's counterattack was also completely suppressed by the backline of Leiria, which has performed the best so far this season, and basically there was no chance to get up, and Alcochetans's counterattack was knocked out, leaving only defense. After all, the game still has to be played by the players, and in this regard, Leiria has an innate advantage of suppression.

All that's left is a matter of when the goal will be scored. The disparity in overall strength made Alcochetans' defence look shaky. In this situation, either Alcochetans' goalkeeper was superbly capable of keeping the goal intact, or Leiria's players collectively did not bring shooting boots and killed themselves.

Sure enough, in the 30th minute of the first half, Leiria, who had been attacking for more than 20 minutes, finally equalized. However, this goal has nothing to do with Lao Lei's long pass. Lao Lei played a wonderful offensive switch with Ugo and Bruno in the front court, with Lao Lei as the central axis, Ugo and Bruno unexpectedly came to change sides. The abrupt move finally made a big hole in the already shaky Alcochetans' backline, and Hugo got an unmarked long-range opportunity.

Hugo took a powerful outside volley and the ball made a strange arc that went straight to the top right corner of the goal. This time, Alcochetans' 34-year-old goalkeeper Joe made a world-class save, which can almost be said to be the best save of the career of this veteran goalkeeper who has been in the third division. This time, Joe jumped up quickly with a fiber-like reaction speed and used his palms to lift the ball off the crossbar.

This made Ugo, who was already about to cheer for the goal, hug his head and regret this powerful long-range shot that felt good. Leiria was given a corner kick and both Raio and Caraba, who had just returned from injury, were in the Alcochetans penalty area to fight for the ball. Andre no longer took the corner from Bruno, and this time Leiria's men pulled off a brilliant tactical deception. Raio and Calaba pressed forward together at the referee's whistle, a move that caught the full attention of Alcochetans' defenders and goalkeeper Joe in the box. Ivan, on the other hand, unknowingly, slipped to the back point. In fact, Bruno's corner was indeed sent to the back post. By the time it dawned on Alcochetans' player and goalkeeper Joe, it was too late to make up for it. Ivan was unmarked at the back post and easily tipped the ball into the back of the net.

In the 30th minute of the first half, the score was rewritten to 1:1. Leiria's players finally let out the sullenness in their chests. They can imagine what Mourinho would have been scolded and scolded if he had entered the dressing room with a score of 1-0 down.

After the equalizer, Leiria wanted to take advantage of the morale boost and overtake the score in one fell swoop. It's a pity that Alcochetans' players retreated more resolutely in the penalty area after conceding the goal, and did not attack because they lost the goal, which seems to be what Alcochetans' coach ordered before the game, and the score of 1:1 was within his acceptable range. As for the Leiria side, although they also increased the number of long-range shots again, it is a pity that most of the long-range shots in the rest of the first half were not of high quality and did not give Alcochetans enough threat to the goal.

In the end, the first half ended in a 1:1 draw. Leiria's players were still relaxed and returned to the dressing room with a smile and a smile. However, the player looked at Mourinho's grim face with a look of obvious dissatisfaction. Everyone put away their relaxed looks, and the atmosphere in the locker room fell silent.

"Are you happy with where you are, because you are in the top of the league and you feel complacent. It seems that the media hype has made you not even know who you are. I didn't carelessly underestimate my opponent this time, what right do you have to despise my opponent. Once we start failing, I'm sure people will say, 'Look, this is the real Leiria.' How can that kind of team keep going like this? ’“

Leiria's players listened to Mourinho's words, and they couldn't help but feel a little guilty in their hearts. Jose Mourinho was not wrong, they were careless at the start of the game, otherwise it would have been so easy for Alcochetans to catch and score. They have been at the top of the Portuguese Premier League table for two months in a row and have won all of them. This made this group of players, who had not been the focus of the media, start to be a little fluttery. Jose Mourinho has long been aware of this phenomenon, and this Portuguese Cup is a good time for Mourinho to knock on his own players. In Andre's absence, and when Ray is not yet comfortable as a playmaker, this game will definitely make it difficult for Leiria to have as smooth sailing as before.

After criticizing the whole team, Mourinho began to criticize Lao Lei personally. "Reima, I'm very unhappy with your performance in the first half. What did you do in the first half that was a little bit of a fit for the core of your organization? This kind of criticism convinced Lao Lei, and it was true that Lao Lei had no chance to perform at all in the first half. On the offensive end, in terms of statistics, there is no achievement, and Alcochetans's defensive strategy makes Lao Lei rarely have room to play on the defensive end. Of course, this is only a performance in terms of statistics, and when Lao Lei's attack was frustrated, the command was still worthy of recognition. However, Mourinho's accusations seem to be justified in terms of statistics, and of course this should be Mourinho's agitation.

Sure enough, he continued: "Reima, if you are still like this in the second half, I will replace you, do you know it?" Lao Lei's personality of not admitting defeat came out at this time, and he didn't speak, but just nodded at Mourinho, with unshakable firmness in his eyes.

Mourinho didn't have any tactics in place, and it is expected that Alcochetans' tactics will not change much. Their goal is to get another point on the counter-attack, and if they can't, they will drag the game to penalties, so that the two sides are on the same starting line, and the impact of the difference in quality is almost minimized.

In the second half, as soon as he came up, Lao Lei immediately turned on the devil's muscles and wanted to defeat Alcochetans in one go. In the second half, Lao Lei began to run wildly with his signature, and there was not much pressing, but with his own running, Lao Lei began to mobilize Alcochetans' defense on a large scale. Alcochetans' players, who had already consumed a lot of physical strength because of the defense, inevitably let their defense start to have problems because of Lao Lei's large-scale pulling.

In the 60th minute, after receiving a pass from Bruno on the right flank, Lao Lei was alert to see the hole in the defense of Alcochetans' players in the middle. Lao Lei first took a few steps to the bottom line, and after opening up the space, he immediately returned to the middle. Ugo came up on the left and there was no defender in front of him. Ugo shot with ease, and this time he opted for a bocce ball and aimed it straight into the bottom left corner of the net.

Joe, who was blocked by his teammates, was powerless this time. Leiria finally overtook the score, and this goal has basically sealed the victory of the game, and the attacking Alcochetans is not a threat.

Alcochetans, who had to be attacked because they had been overtaken, began to show more and more gaps in its rear. This finally gave Leiria's best defensive counter-attack a place to use.

In 80 minutes, Lao Lei's long pass finally came into play. After he broke the ball, he saw a wide space in front of him. A long pass to find Ivan in front, strictly speaking, this pass is still too powerful, but Ivan, with his personal ability, still rushed in front of Joe who attacked, and got the football first. Facing the empty goal, he easily rewrote the score to 3:1.

When the overall situation has been decided, Mourinho directly used up the three substitutions and replaced the three main players Ivan, Ugo and Bruno to prepare for the next Portuguese Super League. After that, Leiria still had a chance to extend the score, but the substitutions didn't get their chances. The score of 3:0 was maintained to the halftime.

Brito, who was on the sidelines, came to Mourinho's side and said: "Two assists, Reima is doing well. “

"The opponent is only a third-division team, and the next league game is the biggest test", Mourinho said with some concern, looking at Lao Lei who was celebrating with his teammates on the field, "When the time comes, it will not be so easy." “
