Chapter 406 The Triple Crown Champion is dead and a madman is born
Porto's confidence lies in... they have finally reached their best form this season.
In the middle of last season, Porto fired the original head coach due to various reasons such as the team's record, the atmosphere within the team, and the struggle among the top management, and poached the league's relegation team to the fifth place in the league - José Mario.
·Dos Santos Mourinho Felish.
Fans call the manager Mourinho for short.
Mourinho's coaching style is quite tough, which is why Porto's team atmosphere further collapsed at the end of last season.
But after the management was unified, he received strong support this summer.
Of course, he was also under tremendous pressure.
If he cannot lead the team to defeat Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, and Boavista in the early part of this season, and cannot win a significant championship in the later part of the season, he will not be able to stay in this position until next season anyway.
Under heavy pressure, Mourinho entered a crazy state. In order to win and keep his players in good condition, he would do anything.
For example, in order to increase the confidence of the Porto players, Mourinho made a lot of nonsense in the "Bola" newspaper, and thus made the headlines of major European media:
"Mourinho: The Triple Crown is dead! Because I came with Porto - the Sporting Lisbon in front of me is no longer the Triple Crown-level team. In addition to defeating the Chinese team, they also
Nothing can be done!》
"Munirio: The UEFA Cup is not a great achievement, it is just a league of losers. If Porto plays this kind of competition, Porto can also win the championship!"
"Muorini: In my opinion, Deng Kai is not an outstanding player. He is weak and pitiful, but his weakness has not been discovered by others."
"Muoniri: Cristiano Ronaldo made inappropriate remarks to us last season. This may be a matter of education. He is a bad boy and has not received a good education."
Major media have arranged and combined the four words "Mourinho" all over the place.
Even if they can't remember the name of the head coach at all, they like the topic and traffic this person brings to them.
They sincerely hope that Mourinho can lead Porto to defeat Sporting Lisbon and survive in football for a longer time, so that they will not find topical reports without Deng Kai.
Only "Knowing Football Emperor" truly remembered this head coach, and emphasized the head coach's ability to the media, saying that this is a talented coach who will not be inferior to Maxa.
Considering that it is not easy for the public to remember Mourinho’s mediocre four words, "The King of Football" gave the crazy Porto coach an impressive nickname - Madman!
…
"Hello everyone, what you are watching now is the Portuguese Super Cup preparation program."
"The madman from Porto suddenly appeared and threatened that the Triple Crown winner was dead, sparking controversy."
"Today is the time for him to fulfill his promise."
"Mourinho actually has the confidence to say this, because this summer while retaining the two core cores of Deco and Jardel, they also introduced Costiani, Ferreira, Carvalho, Valente, etc.
Stars, the lineup has been significantly upgraded."
"As for Sporting Lisbon, they deployed a 433 formation today. So far, they seem to have not fully found a way to combine various players, and their performance is quite unstable."
"Porto players are:
Jardel, Postiga
Deco
Alenichev, Kostiani, Maniche
Valente, Carvalho, Costa, Ferreira
Baia"
"This is a 431 formation, defending and attacking. Almeida, a rising star from Porto's youth training, sits on the bench and is always ready to serve as a substitute. This is a national teammate of Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo."
“Sporting Lisbon’s side is:
Ronaldo, Drogba, Ronaldinho
Deng Kai, Guardiola, Kaká
Evra, Vidic, Barzagli, Maicon
Schmeichel"
"This formation can actually reflect Sporting Lisbon's thinking in this game. They did not regard this as a must-win battle, but more wanted to find the most suitable players and formation through the game."
"Evra, Vidic, Maicon, Kaká, Ronaldinho and other new players can illustrate this point."
"Otherwise, even if Matthäus and Deschamps are too old, and Toure, Veloso and Wu Xudong are all new players and will not play, at least Pepe should be able to play."
"As Sporting Lisbon's backcourt jack-of-all-trades, Pepe can perform at a relatively good level in all positions. He has moved to the left-back position, and he is better than Evra no matter what."
Evra:???
drop!
With a whistle, the game officially begins.
Sporting Lisbon is not proficient enough, and Porto also has many new players who need to adapt.
Both sides played in a chaotic manner for the first ten minutes or so.
Eighteenth minute.
Ronaldinho continued to cut in from the right and was finally brought down, creating a free kick from a distance.
From his personal point of view, his performance is quite good.
But in fact, after he passed the first person, Deng Kai had already moved forward near the top of the penalty area, giving him room for a long shot.
Cristiano Ronaldo was already making an anti-offside retreat, and the next second his shot hit the back post on the left side of the penalty area.
Ronaldinho undoubtedly delayed the fight.
Twenty-two minutes.
Ronaldinho passed the ball to Kaka on the same side and then ran forward. Kaka hit the wall without stopping the ball and made a pass. Ronaldinho made a successful pass from the wing.
This kind of simple coordination can be achieved without any communication or familiarity between Brazilian players.
However, Ronaldinho, who was at the bottom, rushed along the baseline towards the penalty area, and before Valente, who was rushing in, stretched out his feet, he passed to Kaka who was following him.
Then go around from behind Kaka.
Kaka followed up with his heel and put the football in the direction of Ronaldinho.
Samba football, enjoy the silky smoothness.
Ronaldinho raised his foot on the right side of the penalty area close to the small penalty area, inserted his right foot into the goal, and completed the attack from a small angle.
Although the football was saved by Baia in the end, it is undeniable that the two Brazilians showed their souls with this goal.
Drogba and Ronaldo, who were also asking for the ball in the penalty area, were stunned.
There was a lot of applause at the scene, which was people's appreciation for Ronaldinho's talent.
Guardiola frowned slightly near the midfield line.
this……
I'm afraid this is different from what Kaigou thought.
The reason why Kaigou moved from the right midfielder to the left midfielder was that he hoped to realize the compound playing style of Cristiano Ronaldo, Deng Kai, speed dog Rotor on the left, and Ronaldinho Kaka, Rotor and speed dog on the right.
The team achieves center symmetry on the left and right, with endless changes.
Now Deng Kai and Ronaldo's left wing is like this, but Ronaldinho and Kaka are obviously not like this.
