Restricted Superstar

The two rounds of the Portuguese League passed quickly, and the momentum of Porto's triumphant progress continued unabated. After defeating Rexos at home in the UEFA Champions League, they led the second place by 15 points. There are still 9 rounds left in the league. Now, there is no suspense for Porto to win the championship. The only suspense is that they can win the championship a few rounds in advance. Δ 』 』』E novel Ww『W. ㄟ1XIAOSHUO. com

With the league at ease, Porto turned their attention to the Champions League.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Porto drew 2:2 away from Atletico Madrid and took a solid step on the road to promotion. Back at home, Porto can eliminate Atletico Madrid as long as there is an o:o draw Advance to the quarterfinals.

But Porto dare not stick to it. The opponent has many talented players. As long as they have a flash of inspiration, they may penetrate your bus. In addition, it is difficult to guarantee that their defenders and goalkeepers will not make mistakes.

In the last game, Porto conceded two goals, one was a flash of inspiration from Aguero and Forlan, and the other was a mistake by goalkeeper Helton.

In the first round, Porto played on the first matchday, and in this round, Porto played on the second matchday.

It is very beneficial for Porto to be able to rest for one more day and see the status of the opponents in the Champions League.

Because of the good away game, it was relatively easy for Porto to return home, but after the Japanese game ended, Porto immediately became nervous up and down.

The painting style of the second round is obviously completely different from that of the first round. In the first round, except for the game between Rexos and Bayern, they scored 5 goals, and the other three games combined only scored 4 goals. But this round, Bayern scored 5 goals. 7:1 slaughtered Rexos, Liverpool swept Real Madrid 4:0, Chelsea drew 2:2 away with Juventus, Villarreal beat Panathinaikos 2:1 away, four games A total of 19 goals were scored.

Rexos was beaten 12:1 by Bayern in two rounds, creating a horrible tragedy. Although Rexos has extremely poor experience in European competitions, the low level of the Portuguese League is also an important factor.

In addition, Chelsea drew with Juventus 2:2 away, and Villarreal defeated Panathinaikos 2:1 away. These two games show that in the life-and-death battle of the Champions League knockout, the influence of home advantage is not important. Big, fundamentally lies in one's own strength.

Obviously, after watching the game on the first match day, Atletico Madrid's confidence will be restored a lot.

After training the next morning, Porto's coaching staff immediately held a meeting with the players in the tactical room.

Ferreira said with a serious expression: Everyone has seen what the second round of the knockout round is like.

Life and death is like this, it is impossible to be as conservative as the first round, the score of 2:2 in the away game is not safe, we want to enter the top eight, we must win, no matter how good the defense is, there will be no mistakes, only the lead is the best insurance.

Assistant coach Emmanuel said: Atletico Madrid's offensive power is very strong. When they come to the away game, they have no other choice but to score goals. It is conceivable how much pressure our defense will bear. The impact of Aguero, Maxi and Simao, in addition to our defensive players concentrating 100% of their attention, other players must also actively return to the defense to avoid letting the opponent directly face our defenders. In addition, we It is also necessary to put enough pressure on the opponent in the offense, so that their defenders do not dare to press forward too much.

The players in the tactical room were also very serious, and there was no one who whispered. Obviously, the young players in Porto were all frightened by the brutal score in the second round. It was too scary. The strength gap between Rexos and the five major league giants is actually so large, and Bayern's current strength is not considered a top giant.

When Rexos lost 0:5 to Bayern in the first round, Gao Xiaodong was still thinking about what the score would be if he was in Rexos. Now he doesn't have to think about it, if he is in Rexos, The same is a disastrous defeat. This gap in strength cannot be made up by oneself, but the score may be better.

After the meeting was over, they were not allowed to go home at noon. All the players ate at the restaurant of the Olive Branch training base, and then rested in the player's apartment, waiting for the second round of life-and-death battle with Atletico Madrid in the evening.

After lunch, Ferreira and Atletico Madrid coach Resino participated in the pre-match press conference.

At the press conference, Atletico Madrid coach Resino seemed to find confidence and inspiration from today's game, saying that although Porto also has some talented players in the squad, his feeling is the depth of talent available. I will help my team to advance.

Then Resino explained this, Porto is very strong and has a few fast and very strong players, but we have better talents. Aguero is not only faster, but also has better skills and imagination. He is the second Messi, I think he can lead Atletico Madrid to the next round, in addition, Pongler, Forlan, Maxi, and Simao all have the ability to change the outcome of the game.

Resino even deluded himself that a draw in the first leg is not a bad result, they have taken a draw from here, but we can win in Portugal.

The calm and low-key Ferreira couldn't help but sarcastically said: A draw at home is a good result for Atletico Madrid, which will make them more motivated to play away games. Only one team can advance to the quarter-finals. I hope Atletico Madrid will be like us. Walk out of the Dragon Stadium with your head held high.

When Ferreira attended the press conference, Falcao broke into Gao Xiaodong's lounge.

Captain Gao, excuse me.

You're welcome, Tiger, come and sit down. Gao Xiaodong was very happy with Falcao's name, and Captain Gao was obviously much nicer than Gualin calling him Captain Gao.

Falcao said, No need, I just want to ask you a few words.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: You stand and ask questions, how should I answer, it feels similar to interrogating prisoners.

Falcao had no choice but to sit down and said, Captain Gao, I want to ask, do you have any objections to me?

Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: Tiger, where do you start with this?

Falcao said: But in the last game against Atletico Madrid, you gave me 6 passes and Hulk 20 passes.

I wipe, I remember so clearly, Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: Tiger, what can I say to you, Hulk and I have cooperated for a long time, we have a tacit understanding, and we are not familiar with you yet.

Falcao shook his head firmly: No, I remember a ball. I was in a good position and unguarded. I raised my hand for the ball, but you didn't pass it to me.

Nima, remember all this, Gao Xiaodong is about to be driven crazy by Falcao, Maybe I didn't see it, after all, the competition is so intense.

Falcao said: No, you saw it, and you met my eyes.

What the hell, what kind of glances do I give you to a big man, even if I glance at you, I may not necessarily see you, but I can't say this, because if I say it, I'm not arrogant, so Gao Xiaodong had no choice but to say: You are unguarded, I There are people watching here all the time, so it may not be possible to pass it on.”

I don't know whether he was persuaded by Gao Xiaodong's approachable attitude or accepted Gao Xiaodong's explanation, Falcao said: Thank you captain, you are the core of the team's offense, I hope you treat every striker fairly, I assure you, My scoring efficiency must be higher than that of Hulk, so I won't disturb your rest.

Falcao said good afternoon to Gao Xiaodong and went out.

Looking at Falcao's back, Gao Xiaodong smiled. It turned out that this guy who was as brave as a tiger on the court and as quiet as a sheep off the court was jealous.

I'll just give you a few passes and see how many you can score.
