Chapter 87
At half-time, Porto's home dressing room was relaxed, and the advantage in the score and situation, combined with Lao Lei's good form today, gave them confidence to win this game. Mourinho did not make any tactical changes, but once again gave detailed instructions on some points that need to be paid attention to. Considering Simao's shot from the post in the opening stages, Mourinho was a little uneasy. And the Porto players who knew that their performance in the opening stage disappointed Mourinho, this time they did not dare to relax at all, if they made the mistake that Mourinho mentioned in the second half, they knew that there would be no good fruit to eat after the game.
The 15 minutes passed quickly, and when the game resumed, Benfica continued to defend the counter-attacking strategy, and it seems that they will not come out easily until the last moment. In the face of Benfica's defensive strategy, Porto unceremoniously took possession and controlled the tempo of the game. Porto have not opted for a passive time-wasting tactic at the moment, after all, a one-goal lead is not a solid advantage, especially against a team like Benfica. According to Mourinho, it is necessary to strive for a goal before he can adopt a time-consuming strategy very steadily.
At the start of the second half, it was clear to Benfica that there had been some small changes to his defensive strategy. The intensity of the defence was noticeably greater, and the second half was a relentless blockade than a small distraction in the first half. When defending, more tactical fouls were taken, and the fouls were very decisive, not allowing Lao Lei to easily get rid of the ball. Then the opportunity to move forward.
In the 51st minute of the second half, Lao Lei was again brought down by Benfica's midfielder at the back. However, the midfielder also paid the price for a yellow card. But this still did not satisfy the Porto fans at the scene, and the shrill boos. Again in the second half of the Dragons Stadium. Mourinho also rushed to the fourth official and complained angrily, believing that the referee's shot was too soft.
Lao Lei, who got up from the grass again, was not excited on the surface, but his eyes were already showing a bit of danger, which was an obvious foul deliberately aimed at Lao Lei. It seems that I have been in power for a long time, and I thought I was a sick cat, Lao Lei looked at the Benfica players and said silently in his heart. This time, Lao Lei faced Benfica's midfielder and once again made Cruyff turn. Just when he was going to get rid of the advance. The Benfica midfielder tackled directly on Lao Lei's left ankle, and now Lao Lei's left ankle is still faintly painful. Camacho, who has just arrived, didn't know what to do, and the foul tactics he arranged completely stimulated the dark side of the heart of the current Portuguese Super League boss.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Porto's attack in front was intercepted by Benfica's defence. Benfica's backfield drove the football to the front, and Benfica's midfielder, who had just fouled Lao Lei, was about to jump up to top the ball. Suddenly, there was a huge force behind him. Then he fell heavily on the grass, and the pain filled his whole body, and he couldn't get up for a long time, and the person who made all this was undoubtedly Lao Lei. Look at the Benfica players moaning on the ground. Lao Lei spat on the ground and stepped back nonchalantly.
The referee also found that Lao Lei's action was suspected of retaliation, but considering that this is Porto's home stadium. As well as Benfica's several fouls on him just now, he ended up just giving a verbal warning. This certainly does not please Benfica's players and Camacho. I just changed the role of Porto a few minutes ago. It was Porto's turn to watch from the sidelines and Mourinho's angry expressions. The Porto fans also booed in due course. It's not different from before, this time it's a very refreshing boo.
This Benfica midfielder, although he still stood up at the end of the game and could continue the game, but there was a trace of fear and hatred in Lao Lei's eyes. Lao Lei caught this glimmer of light, a sinister smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he decisively opened the devil's muscles. In addition to competing for the victory or defeat of the game, Lao Lei decided to do a few more things by the way to vent his anger.
This time the foul was regarded as Lao Lei's anger, and it was obvious that the referee found out the intention. But then it's not so simple, Lao Lei said hatefully in his heart. After the restart, Ray regained his image from his early days in Leiria and began a frantic sweep in midfield. Every Benfica player who touched him, either with new injuries on his body, or was directly put down, he couldn't find anything wrong with Lao Lei. Every time it seems that Benfica's players can only blame their own bodies for not having the strength of Lao Lei, and they can't fight against him, which leads to such a situation.
Watching his players, under the ravages of Lao Lei, wail and fall to the ground again and again, Camacho complained excitedly that he didn't get anything other than a yellow card. Looking at Camacho, who was in mania on the side, Mourinho looked at him coldly, snorted lightly, and said in his heart: "I actually thought of using this way to deal with Reima, it seems that you haven't seen the video of the previous Rema game." You must know that he has a record of consecutive injuries in the first few games of his career. I really don't know if you are stupid, or arrogant, really rude, Lei Ma said second, who dares to rank first. ”
Seeing that Reima had some tantrums on the field, Mourinho did not stop it, thinking that this might have unexpected gains, which might be a bigger blow to Benfica's momentum, just like Ferreira, who was injured by Lao Lei and injured 3 people in a row. Now Mourinho's only concern is that Lao Lei will not miss and get injured. However, Lao Lei proved to him with facts that although his style of play has become a lot quieter during this time, he has not lost any of his unscrupulous roughness at the beginning.
Benfica's midfield was upset by the humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex's old Ray, and the fact that the ball was passed to their feet was already developing in their eyes in an unfortunate way. In the 63rd minute of the second half, Lao Lei brutally used his body to squeeze Simão to the side, and then hurried up to chase the football not far away. This time, the Benfica midfielder who had been hit by Lao Lei came into contact with Lao Lei again, and he also ran over and waved his right foot to deal with the ball. Lao Lei looked at the situation. A sinister smile appeared in the corner of his eye, and he waved his right foot with all his might. Swinging towards the football, or rather thinking about the right foot of the Benfica midfielder.
A subtle "snap" sound. From the collision between the two, the Benfica midfielder, who immediately let out a loud wail, clutched his right foot and fell to the grass. While screaming, he rolled uncontrollably on the grass. And in order not to be too shocking, Lao Lei also rolled on the ground in a similar way, wailing. However, if you look at it in slow motion, you can find that Lao Lei is behind the leg. It reacted immediately.
In any case, Lao Lei's appearance at least deceived everyone present, and even Mourinho chuckled in his heart, thinking that something was wrong with Lao Lei. The more than 50,000 Porto fans in the stadium also looked at Lao Lei who fell to the ground with an anxious and worried face. Everyone knows what Lao Lei means to the current Porto, the core, indispensable. I have to say that Lao Lei's acting skills are outstanding. not only deceived his family, but also scared two women in front of the TV and notebook, and even one of them was an actor.
However, the worst result was already foregone, and Benfica had to face injury attrition. In the situation of passive substitution, the Benfica midfielder suffered a slight bone crack and could no longer continue playing. I don't know that Lu Dao will have to recuperate for a few months. And Lao Lei returned to the field to continue the game with a look of great pain on his face. added a lot of points to his tough guy image in front of the public, and by the way, he also faced Camacho with an iron face. made a helpless gesture of spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, causing Camacho's face to turn directly black.
To be honest, Lao Lei didn't expect that there would be such a situation as a broken bone, and thought that it would only hurt, so he squatted down and touched his right leg, and said in his heart that it seems that his strength has increased again. After asking the team doctor about the slight bone crack that would not jeopardize the Benfica midfielder's career, Lao Lei was relieved to forget about him.
At this time, Porto's on-site commentary also said with emotion and amazement: "I really don't know what Dao Leima's body is made of, how hard it is, the other party has broken bones, and he still has nothing." Either way, he shows us how a real man should deal with pain. I don't know who gave the Benfica players the courage to provoke Reima. You must know that the nickname of Lei Ma Godzilla was obtained because of his superhuman body and rough playing style. ”
And now the protagonist of this "who", Camacho is on the sidelines with a black face, watching the situation on the field. To be honest, Camacho had a feeling in his heart that stealing chickens and rice would not be successful, he originally wanted to provoke and disturb Lao Lei, but he didn't expect that he hadn't succeeded much, and his side had to reduce the number of people first. And the effect of this attrition is far more than that, just look at the current Benfica players on the field of physical contact with Lao Lei, how to avoid it, just like the original Ferreira players. No one wants to put their entire career under pressure for a game, and who knows that the next time Lu Dao will not be just a slight bone crack.
Seeing this effect, Lao Lei expressed his satisfaction, and in the face of deliberately using foul means to deal with his opponents, Lao Lei prefers to use the direct method of violence to counter violence, which not only has a quick effect but also has a good effect. Of course, under normal circumstances, Lao Lei will not be so rude, his code of conduct is that people don't offend me, I don't offend people. As long as the opponent does not intentionally make malicious fouls on himself, Lao Lei will not deliberately maliciously target others.
After watching the game restart, the old thunder who was rampant on the field, Porto fans finally felt the meaning of the name Godzilla for the first time, absolute strength, absolute roughness, and absolute ferocity. The Godzilla murderer who shocked Portugal at the beginning of last season completely showed his fierce side to Porto fans for the first time. Porto fans did not feel a little uncomfortable, but felt that such an old thunder was more suitable for the Dragon Stadium.
With Lao Lei re-energizing in the playmaking end, Porto organized waves of attacks on the field, pressing Benfica to the ground in their own half.
And in the stands of the Dragon Stadium, the cry of "Godzilla, Godzilla..." began to faintly sound
It slowly grew bigger and bigger, until it resounded over the Dragon Stadium.
And this time it means something different from the previous shouts. (To be continued......)
