England, Germany, Portugal and Romania are in a group in the European Cup.
If both England and Germany are eliminated from the group stage, then Portugal and Romania will advance?
This is the destruction of traditional powers by the golden generation.
Portugal's golden generation led by Figo and Rui Costa.
Romania is a golden generation led by midfielder Hagi.
The former is in his prime, while the latter still has some vitality left.
It's unkind of me to make such an outrageous prediction.
…
May 29th.
Portugal National Stadium.
The Portuguese Cup final is about to begin.
This stadium is a regular venue for the Portuguese Cup final and has 37,000 seats.
But because the fans were too enthusiastic, at least 50,000 people poured into the stadium today, which was within a safe range.
Among these fans, there are probably more than 3,000 fans belonging to Moreirens.
This small Portuguese team has exploded in popularity this year. In the past, their home games had less than 1,500 fans. Now there are 3,000 people coming to Lisbon to watch football. I have to say that the Portuguese champion has inspired too many people's football dreams.
There are probably more than 35,000 fans belonging to Sporting Lisbon!
exaggerate!
This data is really exaggerated.
This is not Moreirense's game, this is simply Sporting Lisbon's game.
Moreover, Sporting Lisbon in recent years has not had such strong appeal.
Li Gui surpassed Li Kui, and the second team was more popular than the first team.
Most Sporting Lisbon fans have not seen a championship for at least three to five years.
Now that our youth training team is competing for the Portuguese Cup, who will we support if we don’t support him?
As for Porto, only 10,000 fans came, which was quite a stretch.
But I can actually understand it from the perspective of a Porto fan.
Before this year, they were the absolute hegemons of three consecutive Portuguese Super League titles!
During this period, almost all of them were double champions.
It’s too embarrassing to compete in the Champions League and the Europa League.
I am used to seeing strong winds and waves.
The result this season?
After losing Jardel, a goal-scoring maniac, Porto fell behind Boavista in the league, allowing a civilian to disrupt their ten-year plan to dominate the Portuguese Super League.
Fans also want to watch a game!
Even if you win a mere Portuguese Cup, it won't be good.
Therefore, Porto fans are not interested at all.
This also resulted in Moreirens receiving home court treatment here.
Moreirens is still in the regular lineup.
Porto saw that it was the finals, so they also brought out their main lineup.
Worth mentioning on the front line is their right winger Cappuccio.
According to Portuguese naming habits, this is obviously not his real name, but there is no need to go into details.
Because the characteristic of Cappuccio as a player is not in his name, but in his identity.
Yes, he is one of the members of Portugal's golden generation.
As soon as Deng Kai saw him, his heart was beating fast.
The glory of Portugal’s golden generation?
Brother, you have to work hard, you must explode!
The three players in the midfield are all very distinctive.
Attacking midfielder Deco.
Defensive midfielder Emilio Peques.
Versatile midfielder Ricardo Andre Sasso, his father Antonio Sasso is one of the top ten stars in Porto team history, a proper second generation player!
The four players on the back line are Rubens Jr., Alger Fuchs, Jorge Costa, and Carlos Alberto.
Goalkeeper Ilario.
The "championship trophy that Ronaldo missed" attribute that Deng Kai refreshed today is a weak shooting bonus.
unlucky!
It’s not that the effect is unlucky, it’s the name of the drop that’s unlucky!
Ronaldo: Damn, both using it and scolding it?
Beep!
With a whistle, the game officially begins.
Although not many media came, the fans were enthusiastic.
Players from both sides are also very committed.
After a trial in the first three minutes, Porto undoubtedly controlled the ball.
They began to attack under Deco's organization.
In the fourth, seventh, 11th, and 18th minutes, Porto launched quite threatening attacks.
But Moreirens had a good mentality today, and the players defended very hard.
For a while, Porto was a little confused.
The team's offense, organization, and defense are all dependent on each other.
To put it bluntly, if the forward attacks well, the opponent will be greatly compressed, the midfield will be easier to organize, and the defense in the backcourt will not be challenged, and everything will be prosperous.
But today Porto's forwards clearly did not complete the task.
Their offensive quality is not high, they have a strong midfielder, but their forwards cannot seize opportunities.
Several one-on-one attempts from the wing failed to succeed.
To be honest, Moreirense's full-back defense was so bad that he almost vomited blood.
You can't even win this, how do you think your offense can improve?
Alex: WTF?
Serafim: MMP!
Since Porto does not have a high-quality offense, the midfielder of the team headed by Deng Kai immediately became energetic.
They are constantly expanding their defensive range.
Originally, the three lines were reduced to one and a half lines by Porto, and the distance between the forward and the center back was no more than fifteen meters.
But now with the midfielder pushing forward, the distance between Moreirens' forward and defender is almost 30 meters.
The expansion of the formation means that the defense is more layered and there are more points for passing the ball.
What follows is an increase in ball possession.
Deng Kai began to frequently pass the ball to his teammates.
The situation changed from Porto pressing Moreirense to the situation where both sides were able to control the ball and go back and forth.
If you really want to count, Moreirens has fewer attacks.
But... almost every attack they made hit the opponent's offensive third zone and ended with a player's shot.
As for Porto's offense, many of the goals are lost in the pass-and-receive cooperation between the wings and the frontcourt.
Both offenses are very threatening if they are successful, but the difference is huge if they are not successful.
The former will not be hit on counterattack because they have to wait for the opponent's goalkeeper to kick the ball.
But the latter... After someone steals the ball, he immediately counterattacks. It's easy to catch your defense off guard.
In the case of equal possession of the ball and equal opportunities, the side that is obviously more threatening in attack will have an increasing advantage.
Moreirense began to play the ball in the Porto half for a long time.
At this time, although Porto could maintain a certain degree of possession, their possession of the ball had changed from effective possession with the purpose of actively launching an attack to ineffective possession with the purpose of avoiding the opponent's attack.
According to the League of Legends, the economic gap between the two sides has widened at this time.
The blow to the morale of Porto's players as they missed the league championship was reflected at this time.
It's not that the players actively want to perform poorly, it's just that they can't get motivated.
If you can't be with the girl you like the most, some people will fall in love with someone else, it's all the same.
This kind of person is not bad in nature, but his behavior is really scumbag.
As the core midfielder of Porto's shining team, Deco is keenly aware of this.
He began to take the initiative to speed up and tried to rely on his own personal ability to fight back the situation.
He has the potential to be a superstar, and he has really achieved this.
