Chapter Ninety-Four: Rest and Training

The entire Leiria team returned to Leiria with deep exhaustion. Jose Mourinho took a day off to give his players a good rest. However, Mourinho himself did not have any time to rest, with Leiria having another Portuguese Cup last-eight tie at their home stadium in midweek. Mourinho, who originally fantasized that he could go hand in hand on two fronts, completely understood at this time that the model of two-front combat was impossible to achieve in Leiria, at least in the current Leiria.

In Mourinho's mind, he has chosen to abandon the Portuguese Cup, and Mourinho is already planning to field all substitutes in the midweek game, and even has plans to poach a few people from the youth team to play this game. For Mourinho, if the substitutes win unexpectedly, it is a windfall, and if they lose, they will not take it too seriously, take it seriously.

On the sports news report the next day, Lao Lei once again made the limelight. "Godzilla who flew up", "single-handedly, turned Porto's 3 points into 1 point", all kinds of praise thought of Lao Lei. If it weren't for the goal and clearance of the most rear, I believe that Lao Lei would be the first choice for major newspapers to criticize, even if it is not Lao Lei's defense, I believe that Leiria will not have the chance to catch up with the most rear. The football world is so realistic, sometimes it is a difference of one goal and one goal, and it is often the difference between heaven and hell. At this time, our Godzilla was lying on the bed with big characters open without any image, opening his mouth wide, and falling asleep.

There will be a league match against last year's Portuguese Cup runners-up, Maritimo, in the evening of this evening. In the summer, the transfer has maintained its main squad very well, and its strength is not weak. However, as long as there are no surprises, Sporting Lisbon should have no problem winning this opponent at home.

And that's exactly what happened, with Sporting Lisbon comfortably beating Maritimo 2-1 at home. This allowed Sporting Lisbon to finally get rid of Leiria in the standings and lead Leiria by 2 points.

Despite the apparent scoreline, Maritimo only managed to save face in the last minute of stoppage time. The goals for Sporting Lisbon were scored by Jardel and a man named Cristiano. Ronaldo's young player.

Jardel's goal is not surprising, and with this Jun's state of averaging more than one goal per game this season, it is surprising when he does not score. The youngster, who came off the bench in the second half, was the one who caught the eyes of Sporting Lisbon fans, dazzling his bike, his blistering pace and receiving an assist from Quaresma to score his first goal in the Portuguese Super League. Although the genius had a great reputation before that, nothing was as convincing as a real goal. If Cristiano was still a little unworthy of the reputation of Portugal's "Four Little Kings" before, then there is no such situation now. After the game, the Lisbon media had taken the lead in giving him the slogan of "Lisbon Double Stars". A new star rises again in the skies of the Portuguese Super League.

The emergence of young players in Portugal this season has even caused the Portuguese media to exclaim that there is a successor to the golden generation. And people like Lao Lei, Quaresma and Postiga have already confirmed their position as the main force of the team, and like Lao Lei is even a stable core, this group of Portuguese post-80s players began to grab power. At the moment, it seems that Lao Lei is firmly in the first place among the four, followed by Quaresma and Postiga, and Cristiano is the last. Of course, this is only the current ranking, and it is not uncommon in the world of football to fall very quickly after becoming famous at a young age.

However, it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and Zhang Ailing's words are still not wrong. Portugal's "Four Little Kings", which have been wildly hyped by the Portuguese media, have slowly attracted the attention of many European football circles. The Portuguese Super League, which has now been reduced to a star processing factory, is destined to fail to retain stars and talented players, and Portugal, which is full of football talents, is naturally an important place for many clubs to tap young talents. And these four young players are also slowly entering the observation reports of more and more club scouts.

Following this trend, the training base of Leiria Club also has more strangers dressed in black and holding cameras and notebooks during daily training. And Lao Lei is their target, but they don't know that this piece of jade already has a master, at least in the next 2 or 3 years.

However, Lao Lei doesn't know everything, and maybe he doesn't know the way. What he is most interested in now is the issue of improving his own strength. After the match against Porto, Lao Lei put his absolute speed and acceleration training on the agenda. He had to admit that the feeling of falling down every opponent at great speed and running after the wind was very ** and very cool. This time, he clicked on the training scene of absolute speed. Lao Lei felt that he should have figured out the tricks of the system, so he entered the training ground very easily and plainly.

This time it was a very ordinary runway, there was a meat ball standing on the runway, and the bald head was holding a burger about the size of his head and munching wildly, and he couldn't see his eyes, only a big mouth that was completely open. Beside him lay a huge tire-like thing that I don't know what it was. After the big fat man saw Lao Lei, he reluctantly took away the Big Mac's burger and said, "Welcome to the absolute speed training." Ask the host to tie this rope around their waist and we can start training. ”

Looking at this big fat man with a simple face, Lao Lei tied the rope to his waist with some suspicion. Seeing the big tire-like thing behind him, his heart said that it seemed to be very normal, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Lao Lei's heart became.

After Lao Lei tied it, the big fat man stretched out his fat big palm and said, "Please eat this hamburger first." Lao Lei saw that no matter how big the fat man was, there was a hamburger the size of a biscuit, although he suspected fraud in his heart, but in order to train Lao Lei, he could only take one bite and eat it in his mouth. After entering the mouth, he felt that something was wrong, Lao Lei felt that his heart was beating faster, his face was red, he was sweating profusely, his head was a little confused, his lips also had a feeling of swelling, his mouth seemed to be able to breathe fire, his tongue was unconscious, and he shouted: "It's spicy!" Water, water, water! ”

Lao Lei instinctively pointed at the big fat man's potion, and at this time, the big fat man pointed to the distance of about 30 meters in front of Lao Lei, and said, "There is ice water there." You only have 10 seconds. Lao Lei looked forward, and a table appeared in front of him, with a large glass of ice water on it. At this time, the instinct to survive erupted with a huge amount of force and rushed forward. It's a pity that the big tire worked at this time, although Lao Lei was almost about to burst his eyeballs, but unfortunately the time was up when there was still 1 meter.

The ice water disappeared, and Lao Lei fell to the ground weakly, feeling that his tears had flowed irrepressibly. Lao Lei could only lie on the ground, like a tired dog, protruding his tongue and panting.

At this time, a huge figure covered Lao Lei's body, and Lao Lei looked up and saw a harmless smiling face of humans and animals, and asked weakly, "What kind of chili pepper is in it?" ”

"Hell Pepper! Rare. The big fat man answered the question with a smile, looking friendly, but Old Ray swore that although he couldn't see the big fat man's eyes, there was a sinister gaze coming out of his eyes. Well, the first training failed, start again. In this way, Lao Lei saw a biscuit-sized hamburger again, and Lao Lei looked up at the sky and shouted: "The soul is light!" I was so naΓ―ve!! ”

After getting up the next day, Lao Lei still left in his mind what he looked like at the end of training yesterday, which looked like Ouyang Feng, the duckling in an old movie "East Becomes West" that Lao Lei had seen in his previous life. As a result, Lao Lei has not touched anything containing chili peppers for a long time, which makes Cintia wonder if his cooking skills have declined.

The generals of Leiria, who had already rested for a day, were about to start planning to resume their daily training again. However, the training situation in the past few days will still be very relaxed, mainly focusing on physical recovery, and only a few training sessions with the ball. At the end of the day's training, they were told that they didn't need to play in the next Portuguese Cup, and they just needed to recover as soon as possible.

This move made Leiria's starters cheer, including Lao Lei, after all, he is not a machine, and this month's games and rushes have greatly consumed his energy, even with the blessing of the devil's flesh and blood.

However, Mourinho asked them to sit in the stands on the day of the game and cheer on their team-mates. Lao Lei planned to call his family together, and the family hadn't been out together for a long time. On the day of the match three days later, Lao Lei sat in the stands with Mi Ji and Joseph, Cintia and his teammates to watch Leiria's match against Belamar.

This time, Mourinho brought the first-team substitutes and two midfielders from the youth team on the pitch to form Leiria's second-tier team. Mourinho's tactics for this set of plastic surgery are defensive counterattacks, and it depends on God's will whether he can take it down or not. At this time, Mourinho still had a vague hope in his heart to lose this game, and he could concentrate on Leiria in the title race at the end of the season despite the Portuguese Cup. Jose Mourinho also has to admit that he has clearly been a little immature in the rotation of his squad this season, after all, this is the first time he has coached a team for such a long time, and it will become a valuable experience in his coaching career.

And after the game started, when Bellamar saw that Leiria sent a substitute lineup so politely, he naturally pressed it heavily and wanted to eat this big gift in one bite. However, I don't know if these players want to show themselves too much in front of Mourinho, the Leiria players on the field are very hard, although they are slightly inferior in counterattack, but they have achieved their ultimate in defense. Bellamar's offense doesn't seem to have much to do in the face of such a defensive line.

The score remained 0-0 until the 88th minute, when Leiria was awarded a corner. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Leiria's substitute striker scored a header to help the team beat Bellamar with a header. 1:0, Leiria advanced to the semifinals of the Portuguese Cup.

Faced with this result, Mourinho didn't know whether to be happy or distressed, and shook his head with a wry smile. It only takes two games to touch the championship, and this ** voice is getting louder and louder in Mourinho's heart.
