Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 164 Everything is OK

All the Porto fans in the Asantas Stadium are cheering. In their view, the score of 4:1 in the first round has basically established the final victory of the Nerazzurri. This is not to look down on the offensive ability of the Italian team at home. , but when Porto scored four goals in a row when they were behind, Lazio did not fight back with a performance that could be put on the table.

The players of the Blue Eagles didn't want to stay in the noisy atmosphere of the Asantas Stadium for another second. After bowing and apologizing to the away team's stands occupied by the Lazio fans, they all walked into the player tunnel. Mancini's face looked like Very embarrassing, the Italian young coach seems to have a hard time accepting that his team was defeated by a big score, especially this opponent is a Portuguese club that has had dismal results in European competitions for many years.

But after a moment of hesitation, Mancini took the initiative to come to Porto's coaching bench. He politely waited for Brito, Faria and other assistant coaches to hug and celebrate with Mourinho before stepping forward to the Setubal people. He stretched out his hand: "Congratulations, Mr. Mourinho, your team is great, but we haven't conceded defeat yet, see you in the next round."

Porto's coach seemed to be familiar with such words. He smiled and held Mancini's hand, and gently hugged the Italian: "The game is indeed not over yet. Karian said the same thing, but don't think of Porto as a proud and conceited team, in your home court, we still have something to fight."

The reporters who originally wanted to capture the confrontation between the two young marshals moved away from the camera in disappointment. From the handshake and hug actions, they could not find anything that could set off a storm of public opinion. Focus on Porto, who are all but clinched in the final, and maybe there's news for the players who scored a stunning four goals.

On the way to the locker room of the home team, Mourinho met Da Costa who was waiting for him. Mr. Chairman was surrounded by several members of the board of directors. Neo grinned, shook hands with them one by one, and then joked: "Gentlemen, you welcome me so warmly now, when something more worthy of celebration happens later, what method will you choose? "

Da Costa patted Setubal on the shoulder and said: "Last year I thought Porto was going to fall out of the European theater, but now we are almost going to the final of the Europa League. It's really embarrassing, Jose, Go to the locker room and celebrate with the players, we old men won't waste your time."

……

Mourinho received the good news on the second day that UEFA did not impose an additional penalty on him for pulling Castroman to prevent Lazio from throwing a fast throw-in. That is, the Setubal man would only be banned. One game, although this is an act that interrupts the process of the game and violates the spirit of fair play.

There are still many days before the second round match with Lazio. The next opponent that Porto needs to face is Naval. This is also a semi-final level contest, but the event is changed to the Portuguese Cup.The players of the Nerazzurri were very excited after playing a good game. Several main players asked Mourinho for help. They wanted to play consecutively to help the team win another place in the final.

Porto's coach simply rejected these requests. The whole season is gradually coming to an end. The main players are more physically exhausted due to the number of starts and the intensity of the game. Continuous starts will only increase the risk of injury.Therefore, he still uses his own rotation mechanism, focusing on the players who did not appear in the roster against Lazio, and pulled out a lineup that is also strong enough to crush the opponent.

Goalkeeper Nuno Espirito, who had been on the bench for a long time, got the first chance for a long time. In front of him stood Secretario, Pedro Emmanuel, Ricardo Costa and Mario Silva's regular rotation players, Paulinho Santos, Thiago Moreira and Young occupy the midfield. The teenager who was replaced early against Lazio is in good physical condition, but Mourinho has no intention of letting him Played nine 10 minutes.

Porto's opponent in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup is Naval. They eliminated the home team Sporting Lisbon in the last round. At the Ciantas Stadium, Porto can't take it lightly, so he has prepared enough backs on the bench. As for whether the hole cards will be played, it depends on Naval's quality.

Porto's coaching staff did a lot of preparation in advance. Boas' scouting team got back a lot of information about the opponent, and the Blue and Whites didn't give the opponent any chance. In the 7th minute of the first half, Jan Found Candido Costa with a super long overhead pass that spanned the half. Porto's left winger made an inverted triangle pass back in the penalty area. Tass Stadium leads 1:0.

中场休息时穆里尼奥按照预定的战术调整用卡普乔换下了扬，波尔图也就此从4-3-3变阵4-4-2，扬考斯卡斯和卡普乔两个高点顶在前面，坎迪多科斯塔和塞萨尔佩索托分列两路。

In the 63rd minute of the game, Thiago Moreira stole the ball in his own half to organize a counterattack. After several consecutive short passes from the central and frontcourt players, Porto successfully scored into the hinterland of Naval's penalty area again. Cesarpe Soto made a cross easily without supervision. Capucho overwhelmed the opponent's defender at the back and threw the ball into the goal. Porto led 2:0.

Mourinho did not make more adjustments, and the main players who were eager to fight on the bench could only withdraw their troops. Porto won Naval without bloodshed and successfully broke into his first final of the season.As for the result of the other semi-final, Leiria successfully defeated Ferreira at his home court, which means that Mourinho will face his old club again in the final of the Portuguese Cup.

As for the Portuguese Super League, according to the current situation, Porto only needs to win three more games at most before they can take home the Portuguese Super League championship trophy.Because this game is relatively close to the second round of the UEFA Cup, Mourinho continued to hide his main players. Not only did Del Rey, Deco and Jorge Costa not enter the squad, but Lian Yang was also not in the starting lineup. .

Consecutive battles at the Asantas Stadium made the Porto players very excited. Marco Ferreira rode through the barriers alone in the first half and scored a goal, although he was equalized at the beginning of the second half. But at the end of the game, Thiago Moreira plugged in from the back row and scored a super world wave long shot that shocked everyone. The opponent's goalkeeper stood there stupidly without any reaction, Porto 2: 1 Morrison.

After winning this league, the Blue and Whites have reached 75 points in the Portuguese Super League rankings. The second place Benfica is more than ten points behind them. I was thrown away by more than 20 points, and I couldn't even see the taillights of Porto's car.
