I don't know if it's a coincidence, the opening match of this European Championship happened to be played at the Dragon Stadium in Porto. This is not only the home of the Portuguese team, but also the home of Lao Lei. As the king of Porto, Lao Lei has an incomparable appeal here, even superstars such as Figo are incomparable. From the Portuguese national team, you can walk out of the hotel and get on the bus, and you can see countless banners with the name of Lao Lei along the way. The people cheered loudly at Lao Lei in the bus, as if it was a pilgrimage.

This frenzied spectacle is infecting all Portuguese players. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, they have always heard that Lao Lei enjoys such a status in Porto. But no matter how you listen to it, it is not more shocking than what you see with your own eyes. This kind of scene is what all football players are pursuing, raising their arms and shouting. Looking at the crazy Porto fans along the way, the other non-Porto Portuguese players almost felt like this was Lao Lei's independent kingdom. This made many people, including Ronaldo, feel a little jealous of Lao Lei in their hearts.

But in fact, when you think about it, this is also what Lao Lei deserves. Two League Cups in two seasons, 1 Portuguese Cup, 1 Portuguese Super Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 UEFA Champions Cup, a total of 7 glittering trophies. There is no player in football who can pat his chest and say that he can do better than Lao Lei. When thinking of Lao Lei's 22-year-old age, the madness of the fans can be understood, which should be reasonable.

By the time the Portuguese bus finally arrived at the Dragon Stadium. The fans and reporters at the scene were boiling. Security personnel did their best to maintain order on the scene, but they were unable to stop them. The only way to call for help is to call for help. The appearance of such a scene should be taken for granted. As the host of this European Cup. The favourites to win the tournament and Portugal deserve such treatment. There is no doubt that the Portuguese national team will be the big star of this European Championship.

When the players got out of the car, Lao Lei got the biggest cheers. After all, this is Porto, after all, it is Lao Lei's territory, and the number of local Porto fans who come to watch the game is the largest. When Lao Lei appeared in front of them, the cry of "Godzilla" resounded throughout the scene. The call of the Porto fans made Lao Lei feel very good. Considering that he will be leaving Porto this summer, such a scene can only be seen once. One less time. So he cherishes it and it is necessary for him to play a fantastic game at the airport in front of the fans of Porto in this European Championship. This will be the last thing he will say to Porto before leaving.

As the opening match, the Dragon Stadium has become the focus of the world's attention at this time. Portuguese dignitaries and celebrities gather here. At this time, the final opening ceremony was being held, and the blue Greek fans and red Portuguese fans had already poured into the Dragon Stadium, and it was already crowded with people. The commentators from various countries were also introducing the final situation of the opening ceremony. The scene was lively. The crowd is full of voices, this is a big scene, a grand event in football.

When the opening ceremony is officially over, the real appetizer of the day is about to be served. Wait until the Portuguese players come out of the tunnel to warm up. The scene erupted in the highest decibel cheers of the day, which is the momentum that only the host can have. This is also in the tournaments, as long as the strength of the host itself is not too bad. It will be the main reason why other teams don't want to run into it too soon. The mental and psychological strength that the support of the people of the whole country has brought to the national team players is incalculable.

And the on-site director is also very interesting. The camera was frequently given to Lao Lei's body, so that his figure appeared more on the big screen at the scene. And this really stimulated the Porto fans at the scene. They even forgot that this was a national team event, and called Lao Lei's name, making people feel like it was a Porto game. The magical and sweet season that has just passed still makes these Porto fans unable to extricate themselves, and Lao Lei's status among Porto fans has reached a peak at this time.

And Lao Lei's beckoning and nodding in return were all responses that could get a louder decibel cheer. At this time, the commentators from various countries who had nothing to do also introduced Lao Lei on TV. They all said that the Portuguese superstar's performance in this European Championship will directly determine whether Portugal can go further and win the final Delaunay Cup.

Soon after, the Greek players also came in for a final warm-up. Lao Lei looked at Reghhar, who was still expressionless, and was still an expressionless Greek player, and the vigilance in his heart was strengthened again. Compared to the last meeting, this Greek team has more confidence in it. Iron-clad tactical discipline and fighting spirit will not create a team that is too inferior in any way. And as long as you are careless, they will give you a heavy blow.

Although he admires that Reghar can train the team like this, Lao Ray still hates this team in his heart. In Lao Lei's opinion, the combat power of this team may not be underestimated, but it is too boring. Compared with Regjar, although Mourinho is also pragmatist and triumphant, he is more passionate about football than Reghar. In other words, Mourinho is more emotional, more adventurous in his bones, and his football can appear iron-blooded, not just iron-blooded.

However, at this time, the Greek team still attracted too little attention. Even though it beat Spain in the group stage to qualify, the outside world still didn't pay enough attention to it. However, this is also human nature, people are looking after the kind of team that shines with stars and plays beautiful football, and it is natural to ignore the civilian team like Greece. However, such neglect is often very fatal, especially when this civilian team has its own characteristics.

Before the game, the prediction for the outcome of the opening match was overwhelmingly in favor of Portugal. In terms of the major bookmakers who have given guesses about the outcome of the game, the odds of Greece are also much higher than those of Portugal. Some Portuguese fans don't even care about winning or losing, but how many goals Portugal can win. Such an optimistic atmosphere has affected the atmosphere in the Portuguese team. In terms of value, strength, lineup and so on, Portugal has an absolute advantage. The players didn't take Greece seriously and were too optimistic.

Lao Lei also noticed such an atmosphere. For such an overly optimistic atmosphere, Lao Lei also has no good way. The optimism of some Portuguese players now is even difficult to understand in Lao Lei's view. It's like as soon as they get on the playing field, the Greek team will stick out their necks and wait for them to come and cut them. He's not a manager and can't have enough of an impact on his team-mates in that regard.

To make matters worse, Scolari himself seems to be under-emphasizing Greece. He is also aware of the atmosphere in the Portuguese team. But in his opinion, it may be normal to have such a situation in the face of Greece, so he did not take steps to knock the players up. Now Lao Lei only hopes that after the game officially starts, his teammates will not be too relaxed because of excessive optimism, adding any unexpected difficulty to this game.

When the pre-match warm-up was over, the players returned to the dressing room to make the final preparations before the game. At this time, Scolari was also making his final pre-match speech in the dressing room, and unlike Mourinho, Scolari's words were more rational and lacked Mourinho's inflammation. This made Lao Lei's batch of Porto players a little uncomfortable, without Mourinho's yelling, it always felt like something was missing.

In the face of Greece, Portugal, as the host, took the initiative to attack. In terms of lineup, Portugal fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation. In the goalkeeper position is Ricardo, in the back line is in addition to Costa's position is played by Deportivo de la Coruña's Andrade, the remaining three positions are completely Porto's combination. In the position of the midfielder, it is the old pair of Lao Lei and Kostiani.

Up front, Deco is a midfielder, Figo on the right wing, Simão on the left, and Pauletta as the last striker. When Scolari's starting line-up was officially reported, it caused an uproar. Although there was speculation before the game that Rui Costa would be put on the bench by Scolari, when it did happen, it was still incredible. After all, the midfield master of the golden generation has been selected as a striker for the Portuguese national team since he became famous.

And this time, he became a substitute in the European Championship held in Portugal, which made the older generation of Portuguese fans sigh. But here's the problem, as long as Deco doesn't play well in this game, there is no doubt that he and Scolari will face a frenzy of criticism from public opinion. After all, a Brazilian head coach and a Portuguese player of Brazilian origin can turn a Portuguese player on the bench as soon as the media adds fuel to the plate, and it can become a complete conspiracy theory farce.

At this time, the players are standing in the players' tunnel, ready to enter. Listening to the enthusiastic cheers of the fans outside, Lao Lei felt that his whole body was excited. No matter how many times, when he hears such cheers from the fans, he is always excited and enthusiastic.

When the players of both sides really appeared in the stadium, the entire Dragon Stadium erupted in a tsunami-like cheer, and a big battle was about to begin.

Surprisingly, however, not long after the start of the game, Portuguese fans, who had been waiting for victory and goals, found that they needed to worry more about the safety of their team's door first.

"Hmm!!!!"

The exclamations of the Portuguese fans resounded throughout the stadium. (To be continued......)
