Chapter 40: The Race That Begins in the Hustle and Bustle

There is still half an hour left in the eighth round of the Portuguese Super League, and the Stadium of Light, which can accommodate more than 65,000 people, is already in full swing. Because of the media hype, fans are also very enthusiastic about this game, this is not only a direct confrontation of the top three in the league, there are many grievance stories entangled, the unfading dark horse and the giants, challenging the old club's hatred. The match became a nationally broadcast event and the second time Leiria has made her appearance on the national stage. Some of Leiria's fans have come to the Stadium of Light to cheer for their team, and Leiria's performance in the first seven rounds has given them enough confidence and expectations.

And Mourinho became the protagonist in everyone's eyes in this game. The results were excellent, but because of the obstruction of the high-level, he left the Stadium of Light with some embarrassment. Now he is returning to the Stadium of Light with his magical division, who will take a gorgeous revenge on the old club or a new revenge on the old one, this is the biggest headline of this game hyped by the media. Benfica fans have long forgotten about Jose Mourinho, who only stayed in the Benfica dugout for three months and left amid their scolding. Originally, there should have been little connection between the two after Mourinho's departure. But no one could have imagined that just six months later, Mourinho would make a comeback with a team at the top of the table. Instigated by the media, Benfica's fans put up slogans such as "Judas", "We don't need Mourinho, just Toni", "Money-hungry translator, you can't take anything from the Stadium of Light".

Perhaps because the team was subservient to Jose Mourinho's side, Benfica blamed Mourinho for this dissatisfaction, even though Mourinho was nothing in their eyes. Not only do the poor hate the rich, but the rich will also be jealous but disdainful of the poor who turn over and press on their heads, "Dirt buns, no culture." ”

At this time, inside the Stadium of Light, Leiria's fans held a unique and eye-catching slogan, a large full-body portrait of Mourinho, with a bright red sentence on it: "Jose, there is only one Jose, you are our leader." Leiria fans expressed their gratitude and love for Mourinho with such words, and they knew that Mourinho's arrival triggered the transformation of Leiria's texture.

At this time, in the dressing room of Leiria, Mourinho was doing the most pre-match post-game mobilization. Looking at his disciples looking at their expressions seriously, Mourinho suddenly set off a wave of pride, Benfica I am back, I want to make a decision, with my own hands to build an excellent team. Mourinho exclaimed, excitedly: "Guys, I think everyone knows the story between me and Benfica, and yes I have an extraordinary emotion for this game. Last time I left in embarrassment with infamy and cold eyes, and today I brought you here, and I want Benfica to know that you should regret and regret my departure. I want them to know today that Benfica eats, it's the time of Leiria. Win this game, guys, for my sake and for yourselves, and tell them we're here to stir things up. Go tell us it's Leiria, we're proud of it, go kick their ass, man!! ”。 As he spoke, Mourinho bowed deeply to his disciples.

Leiria's players are also agitated at this time, although Mourinho has led the team for more than two months, but Mourinho has become one with them and has become a complete Leiria team. Leiria's players walked out of the locker room with high morale, like soldiers on the march. Mourinho, who stayed in the locker room, was silent for a few minutes, and then walked out of the locker room with a cold gaze, and walked towards the pitch with a determination and happiness.

It was Leiria's first home game this season at the top three of the Portuguese Super League. For Lao Lei, a newcomer to football, it was the first time to see such a magnificent stadium with his own eyes, and the first time he heard the huge sound of more than 60,000 people speaking at the same time. Seeing that Lao Lei was a little stunned, Ben stepped forward and said, "What, Lei Ma is nervous?" "You must know that the importance of Lao Lei to Leiria at this time is self-evident, if Lao Lei is abnormal, it will be devastating for Leiria, so Ben looked at Lao Lei with concern at this time.

Lao Lei came back to his senses, looked at Ben, and knew what his captain was worried about, shook his head and smiled: "I'm not nervous, I'm thinking about how to make these more than 60,000 people fall silent, and then obediently call me by my nickname, that must be very interesting." ”

"Nickname? Godzilla? ”

"No, it was obtained by the fans, and I prefer my original nickname 'Lei Ye'."

Listening to Lao Lei's Chinese voice, Ben was obviously a little stunned, and said stunned: "What? ”

"This is Chinese, which is equivalent to this group of people calling me grandpa, my grandson."

Hearing Lao Lei's explanation, Ben looked at Lao Lei with strange eyes, just like looking at a psychopath, asking more than 60,000 people to be grandsons, how much do you owe your grandson. In the end, Lao Lei was defeated in his gaze, and his heart said bluntly, how can foreigners know the essence of the language of my Heavenly Empire.

Suddenly there was a huge shout mixed with deafening boos from the field, "Judas", "traitor", "damn greedy translator", "You can never try to defeat the great Benfica, incompetent translator" ............. Lao Lei was stunned for a moment, looked to the sidelines, and sure enough, his head came out. Mourinho is still dressed in his trademark dark color, with a grim face, which makes people wonder what he is thinking. The commentators suddenly became excited, and said loudly: "Roar, roar, look at the boos and scolding that Mourinho received, the eagles expressed Mourinho's disdain and anger." I don't know what Mourinho, who seems to be calm at this time, is thinking in his head? You know, this is a treatment that only Benfica's century-old enemies are entitled to. The former Benfica coach who left Leiria didn't get even a shred of warmth? "The lively Stadium of Light ushered in the first ** of the day.

After the players from both sides lined up, Benfica, the 'eagles' of the Portuguese Super League, held a pre-match ceremony to release the club's mascot, the eagle. The majestic eagle, soaring above the Stadium of Light, proudly looks down on everyone in the stadium, for the Benfica people this eagle symbolizes Benfica, arrogant and uninhibited, looking down on the crowd. At this time, standing in the queue of Leiria, Lao Lei looked at the eagle and sighed, and said jokingly to Ben next to him: "Captain, look at this eagle, it looks really strong. It seems that there is a lot of meat, I heard that the taste of eagle meat is a must, I don't know how this one is? As if it were real, he made a snorting sound. Ben, who was standing on the side, ignored the unsparing old Lei, and scolded Denima in his heart, how could I think this guy would be nervous, this is the most unruly rookie player in the history of the Portuguese Super League recognized by many media, I am really blind. But fortunately, Lao Lei's words were not heard by Benfica fans, otherwise they would never have let the mascot of the team who wanted to eat them leave the Stadium of Light alive.

At this time, Benfica's head coach Toni took the initiative to shake hands with Mourinho in order to show his demeanor as a giant manager. Mourinho just gave him a look on his face, and then turned away, leaving Tony alone with his hand outstretched and a constipated look. Mourinho, the protagonist of this game, has always been the focus of the camera's attention, and this picture certainly did not escape the eyes of the various commentators. At this time, invariably, Da Lu smiled and said: "Ha Lu haha, look at Tony's expression, this is really an interesting scene, it seems to be the first time that the head coach of the Portuguese Super League has been so valued." Either way, we have to say that the young young marshal of Leiria is a special person. Of course, this does not include the commentators of the Benfica side who have already cursed.

As a result, Mourinho naturally received more boos, but he really didn't care at all and responded with cold noodles. At this point, the opening ceremony has ended, and the game is waiting for the referee's whistle. At this time, the camera gave a close-up picture of Lao Lei, after all, now Lao Lei is also famous, I don't know how many good people are waiting for Lao Lei to make any big news. However, because Lao Lei has no special actions and news in the last two games, giving this shot at this time is more like coping with things and going through the motions.

But no one expected that at this time, Lao Lei gave them an unexpected surprise. Since the camera was focused on Leiria's players at this time, the Stadium of Light was filled with boos. However, Lao Lei successfully raised the decibel of this boo to Lu.

I saw Lao Lei standing on the court with his waist crossed, with the appearance of a hanger I had mixed up, and when the camera was pointed at him, he suddenly smiled contemptuously, and then suddenly spit a big mouthful of saliva on the court, and then continued to smile at the camera, laughing so disdainfully. The image was suddenly zoomed in on the big screen in the stadium, and you can imagine how angry the Benfica fans would be.

Lao Lei's action caused a burst of excitement from the commentator and reporters on the sidelines, although it seemed to be just an ordinary action, but seeing Lao Lei's smile, no one believed that this would be an ordinary action, and they would think that this player was facing Benfica, Benfica fans, expressing disdain. The commentator's words were: "This young man made the Benfica fans hate him as quickly as possible." ”

The referee was alert in front of Benfica's players and came to the front of Lao Lei, and due to the lack of obvious evidence, the manager was unable to give any substantive decision. can only solemnly warn Lao Lei: "Leiria's No. 13 pay attention to his behavior and don't make any more moves to provoke fans." In this regard, Lao Lei, of course, pretended to say that he was just an ordinary spitting action, and he was a good child, how could he provoke the fans. The referee was also helpless, but after repeatedly admonishing him, he walked away. Before leaving, he said that I would keep an eye on you.

However, I believe that the TV broadcaster must be so cool that it is crooked at this time, and the ratings have been increased because of Mourinho's non-handshake incident, because Lao Lei's spitting has skyrocketed again. More and more people are attracted to this game, and of course there are some who want to see if Lao Lei and Mourinho will do anything eye-catching again in the game. This made the broadcaster almost want to send two big red envelopes to Lao Lei and Mourinho, and said that it is difficult to find someone who cooperates with our work so much.

In the end, it was Benfica who won the opening game first. With the referee's whistle, the game finally began.

And less than 3 minutes into the game, Lao Lei felt that this game would not be too easy. Lao Lei can feel that Benfica seems to have studied his team very carefully, including himself, and their arrangements are very targeted.

But fortunately, Mourinho also expected this situation and prepared for it a long time. It's not like when you play against Porto, you get overwhelmed.
