Since the introduction of Bosman, the top leagues of the rest of Europe have gradually become the star factories of the four top leagues of Serie A, English Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga. Ajax, Benfica, Marseille and other continental giants are inevitably starting to decline, and the league they are in is also due to the general trend, and their competitiveness and attractiveness have declined sharply. As a result, most of these leagues are dominated by the traditional giants in the league, although these giants are not competitive in the Champions League, but they can still be powerful in their own league by virtue of their historical status and influence.

It is no surprise that the Portuguese Premier League is no surprise and for the Portuguese sports media, they are accustomed to Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon in the last three of the Portuguese Super League champions. The rise of any dark horse in any season will arouse their great enthusiasm.

Leiria, which has been unusually strong at the beginning of this year's league, has begun to take shape as a dark horse in the eyes of the media, and now it depends on how deep this dark horse is, just a qualified spoiler, or can wrestle with the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, and hope to get involved in the Portuguese Super League championship. Even if the opponents in the first four rounds of the game are not strong opponents, they can win them all, and the performance of averaging more than 2 goals per game and conceding only one goal in total is strong enough, and the next question is whether this is their extreme performance, or there is room for it. And the fifth round of the Portuguese Super League, the home game against Porto, in their opinion, is the best way to test.

Although Porto had a bad start to the tournament, with only one win, two draws and one defeat in the first four rounds, it still did not damage its reputation as one of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League. Although the media has criticized Porto's monetization, it still blames more on the fact that it has not yet entered the state. Its lineup, personnel strength and combination are among the best in the Portuguese Super League. Porto also attach great importance to this game of Leiria, which is currently the first in the league, and their head coach Paulo also said frankly in an interview with Porto's local media: "Although we have a weak start, after all, the league has just passed five rounds, and I believe that we are still a team that has always had the ability to win the championship, and now it is only temporarily at a low point." Leiria has been doing well for the new season, being top of the league is a great result and if we can beat them at their home stadium, I think it will be a good incentive for us. ”

Then under the processing of the media, his words became concise and to the point: "Leiria is the best stepping stone for us to cheer up than Porto". It sounds like treating Leiria as if it were nothing, and achieving victory is like digging for something.

After the media conveyed these words to Mourinho, the young manager, who had already shown his eloquence in front of the Portuguese media, did not disappoint the media, saying: "I don't know what the coach of Porto thinks, we are the first in the league and they are only 11th in the league. I really don't know where his pathetic self-confidence comes from. Fueled by the media, this war of words began to slowly spread to the players of both teams.

Porto's striker Postiga said unceremoniously: "I don't know what to be proud of as a translator manager, we are Porto, what is Leiria? Who knows. ”

This angered the Leiria generals, and the striker Ivan sarcastically shot back: "Maybe he should be a diplomat, his mouth is much better than his feet." He's a duck egg now and I'll keep scoring against Porto.' ”

Porto's goalkeeper Baia also said without showing weakness: "He said he was going to score. Let's hope he doesn't speak outright. Gradually, most of the players from both teams were involved in this war of words, which attracted the attention of the vast majority of Portuguese fans, and the match will also be broadcast live nationally.

Finally, the fifth round of competition day has finally arrived. Lao Lei also wants to make a comeback impatiently, after all, he has not had any soul points for 2 weeks, and he will start for the first time and accept the cheers of the home fans, Lao Lei is very much looking forward to it. Of course, Lao Lei has not been idle in the past two weeks, and he has finally raised the short pass to 75 after training hard, further improved the strength and speed to 82,75, and has risen to 70 in terms of breaking the ball and stuck position, and has received a lot of training from Gattuso. In the next period of time, Lao Lei also temporarily plans to reduce the amount of force and speed training time, after all, the difficulty of improving in the later stage is gradually increasing, Lao Lei plans to spend more time on passing training and defensive training in the next time, so that his physical advantages can be maximized.

Now in Leiria, due to the media hype, the fifth-round match against Porto has also become the talk of the whole city, and the-for-tat between the twins, the coaches, has also made the gunpowder of this game skyrocket. When Porto arrived in Leiria, they were greeted with the most intense cheers and welcome from the Leiria fans, with Postiga being the most enthusiastic. Before today's match, Postiga couldn't help but say in an interview with the media: "We're going to win, 3:0, 4:0, who cares what happens to Leiria?" This made the media excited, and this is another good subject. While the iron is hot, some media asked: "Postiga, what do you think of Godzilla No. 13 in Leiria, Remayar?" ”

Maybe he was confused, or maybe he did it on purpose, Postiga asked suspiciously, "I'm sorry, I don't know what Remayr is talking about, Godzilla is really a funny title?" This sentence has stirred up a thousand waves, and some time ago the media reported, few people will not know about the old thunder. Whatever the actual situation, the media has already defined it as a deliberate provocation. The No.13 of Doreya is not a good baby, and looking at what he did in Ferreira, he is simply the most daring rookie in the history of the Portuguese Super League. There is no doubt that the media will definitely tell Lao Lei what he said, and he is very much looking forward to what Lao Lei will react to and what response he will have in the game. In fact, some ** companies in Portugal have opened a handicap for when Lao Lei will fight openly on the field, and have also received a lot of bets.

The media also stopped Lao Lei before he got on the bus. After the media bombardment some time ago, Lao Lei is now more than able to deal with it, and he will not be overwhelmed. When the media conveyed Postiga's words to Lao Lei, Lao Lei said with some astonishment: "Did he really say that? Naturally, the media nodded desperately to indicate that's right, that's what he said. Lao Lei was really puzzled, because in this war of words, he honestly didn't say a word, although this was Mourinho's order, for fear that he would say something irrational. But Lao Lei didn't know that he was lying down and was shot, but he didn't respond in a high-profile manner according to the media's meaning, just smiled slightly and said: "I hope he can still talk like this after the game." After speaking, he immediately got into the bus and ignored the questions of the media behind.

By the time Leiria had warmed up in the dressing room, Mourinho unexpectedly didn't set up any tactics first, but took out a few newspapers and began to read: "Leiria is a good opportunity for Porto to regain their strength, and a victory over the current top of the standings will be a good stimulus to Porto's low morale, after all, in terms of strength, Leiria is not comparable to Porto." There are a few other newspapers with me who compare us to a poor robber and Porto to be the hero who captures us. It seems that in their eyes we should be inherently inferior to Porto, and we are the clowns who should be given points by Porto. Mourinho's voice began to get louder and louder, and the body language began to slowly become fierce and inflammatory.

At this time, the players in Leiria in the locker room were all instigated by Mourinho, and Lao Lei was no different, he still remembered the words of his ancestor who was willing to cut his body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse. Looking at the sparkle of battle in the eyes of his teammates, Mourinho nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I don't know what you guys think, I'm very unhappy anyway. We're number one in the league, and now I want you to tell them who's the number one in the league, to tell them we don't care who the opponent is, to tell those bitches that we're fucking better than anybody. Go fight, go and tell them this is Leiria, it's Magal Hayes. Mourinho used his words to raise Leiria's morale and fighting spirit to the highest level, and the players almost screamed out of the dressing room.

After the players left, Brito approached Mourinho and asked: "Do you really think we can snipe at Porto at home, on paper we are more than a step behind." ”

'There's no way around it, we're just a small club and it's impossible to compete with them in the squad. However, football is not about strength on paper, it is about playing on the spot, and it is common for the weak to beat the strong. Now what I'm expecting is that the opposing manager will take us lightly and that will give us a few levels of better chances of winning, otherwise it will be a tough battle. ”

"It's not worth it to give up for anything, it's not worth it to do your best for this race, the league is a marathon."

Mourinho smiled helplessly and said: "I also know that this is not good for the rest of the schedule. But you know that our goal this season is to finish in the top four or even in Europe", Brito nodded and continued, "It is very difficult to reach European competition with a small club like Leiria, in addition to the quality and personnel, a large part of it is not confident. Because players are used to thinking of themselves as underdogs, when they meet strong teams, they lack the energy and confidence to lose to them, and take losing to them for granted. If you want to enter the top four, Europe, with this mentality, you can't succeed, even if you are lucky enough to enter the European war, it is just self-inflicted. That's not my style, my style is that even if you're better than me, I'm going to bite you off and even bite you to death. And Porto is the best choice for us to find this kind of confidence, the name is big enough, and the state at this stage is not very good. You get the idea? “

Brito nodded, indicating that he understood, and said with some concern: "This is a gamble, if you lose, the player will be hit hard, and the collapse is not necessarily, it will directly affect the whole season." ”

"How is it possible to come up with a miracle without taking a little risk. If you don't make a risky move, you can't win. ”

However, what happened in the dressing room on the other side may have disappointed Mourinho. Porto's coach Paulo not only did not take it lightly, but took it quite seriously. Tactics are being carefully arranged: "Costa's main striker of the opponent, Ivan will be handed over to you, this is a typical point-grabbing striker, I believe it is not a problem for you." Andre is the heart of their playmaking team, with Carvalho ....... Deco keeping an eye out for the number 13, who has a tough style and a great runner who is an important part of Leiria's defence. Dribble less in midfield and get through the midfield as quickly as possible to limit his role. When the player was gone, Paul whispered, "You have to win, otherwise this position will be really shaky." ”

The atmosphere in the passage was solemn, and when the referee team walked out of the hall, the field resounded with thunderous cheers, mixed with boos towards Porto.

Lao Lei enjoyed the cheers of the fans, and his heart was very happy. When Florno reported Lao Lei's name, "Godzilla, Godzilla" broke out in the stands, cool and crooked.

"Beep" whistle, soon after the game started, Lao Lei felt that this game was not so easy, and he felt at a loss.
