Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 82

Faria didn't care about the devil's training for newcomers, and the recipe Mourinho got from Barcelona made Young's body change a lot within two months.The teenager's weight has not increased significantly, but the muscles in his legs are much stronger, which can help him better control his body balance when he stops suddenly and changes direction, and it will not affect the overall flexibility.

Two training sessions a day gradually allowed Yang to develop a tacit understanding with many teammates. He could use the pass to accurately find the runners without relying on a flash of inspiration. After several substitute appearances, Larry Ya's players have become accustomed to Mourinho's two different tactical arrangements. Yang is not on the field and focuses on counterattacks from the side, and Yang plays to enhance the control of the midfield.

The playing time of the defensive midfielder Pena has been further compressed. The depressed Portuguese prefers to go out to find friends to relax. As the frequency increases, the local media soon picked up photos of him drinking in bars, and drinking during games and training. It was strictly prohibited by Mourinho. Pena was sent to the reserve team for half a month, and Mourinho recalled him until Leiria urgently needed a lineup rotation.

It was this half a month that allowed Yang to secure his position as the starting midfielder, and his contribution to the team is obvious.Until December, Leiria showed a terrifying momentum of scoring points. He remained unbeaten against the lower league teams. Bartolomeu even offered to raise Mourinho's salary. He wanted to keep this A baby coach who makes opponents shudder and fear.

In the first half of the season, Leiria beat Saguiero [-]-[-] away, Vazim [-]-[-] at home, Ihuaka [-]-[-], Santa Clara [-]-[-], and Guimarão Si and Setubal, this mid-range team that was not expected to win a precious six-game winning streak.

In the first [-] rounds of the Portuguese League, Leiria only lost to Sporting Lisbon and Maritimo. In the away game against Benfica, they even got back a point from the tie. The Portuguese football media began to exclaim.

Here comes the wolf!
Mr. Chairman, who was overjoyed, has a very regrettable thing that has been buried in his heart. Sometimes he can't help but want to blame Mourinho. Why did you just choose to rent Young instead of buying it?
Bartolomeu looked at the statistical data in the newspaper and his heart was bleeding. In the [-]th round of the league, Young handed in a report card with one goal and six assists. If this data is any team's No. [-] No one will be surprised by what the players have achieved, but it is extremely terrifying to put it on a teenager who has just turned [-].

Even Luis Figo did not start at Sporting Lisbon until he was 19 years old, and he only scored his first goal in the No. 14 league round. It is true that if Figo arrived in Leiria, he might have become the youngest thigh of the team, but with Compared with Young, the most proud superstar in Portugal at present, it will inevitably appear too harsh.

Many mid-range teams in the Portuguese League have already sent letters or telegrams to Leiria, asking about the current ownership of Jan Rodriguez. How much Bartolomeu hopes he can say that he is a player of Leiria. In short, the prices offered by the chairmen of several clubs really moved him, but the contract that Mourinho rented Young didn't even have a buyout clause, and the last hope of making a fortune for Mr. Chairman was snuffed out. up.

Maybe no one will believe it, but this young man who is ranked ninth in the assist list is still holding a youth training contract, and his salary is pitifully lower than that of other people on the list. With this momentum going on, the best result that Leiria can reap is to try to let Yang fulfill his one-and-a-half-year loan expectation. If he can't earn money, at least he must earn some results, right?
But he didn't know that Young had already been targeted by the three giants of the Portuguese League. The scouts of Sporting Lisbon and Benfica included him in the list of players to focus on this season. They had already figured out Young's origin , so I didn't communicate with Leiria at all.

This piece of fat grows on Porto. Everyone knows that the northern tycoons are well-known in Portuguese football. If they want to get Yang out of Porto, the price they will pay will definitely not be small. They are still waiting, waiting for Yang to take over this season. Let's see if it's worth digging him in with a big price.

As for Porto, which has an absolute advantage in this matter, they don't need to worry too much. Young's performance can continue to be amazing, and Porto is naturally happy to see the results. Sell ​​it to Leiria after the deadline.What Pinto da Costa really cares about is Mourinho, a coach who can control the overall situation and slap Fang Qiu, not a little guy who is dispensable to Porto with a saturated lineup.

……

In mid-December, Leiria will usher in another difficulty in the middle of the season. They need to go all the way north to the Asantas Stadium, where the temperature is the coldest but the most passionate in Portugal, where they will challenge the Blues on the banks of the Douro River. This is also the first time Young stands on the opposite side of Porto.

Because of the strategic abandonment of the Portuguese Cup and the absence of European competitions, Leiria, who is focused on the Portuguese League, has a very loose schedule in early December, which gives Mourinho plenty of time to study the next Opponents, and the one he is most concerned about is the menacing Porto.

Faria's physical training and injury control have achieved excellent results. Leiria is currently unavailable. Mourinho can naturally come up with the strongest starting lineup. Before going to Porto, he was on the training ground Expressed his attitude to the players.

"So far, we have only lost twice in the league, which is better than the same period last season. I have seen everyone's performance. Fewer backcourt players have maintained the same defense as before. Intensity, so as to give the striker more room to play, our goals have nearly doubled compared to the same period last season, and the number of goals conceded is eight fewer.

I am very proud of you, but this season Leiria has not been able to get three points from the three giants. I still have a grudge about the loss to Sporting Lisbon.Speaking of the next opponent, Porto, who is already red-eyed because of chasing league points, I hope you can show a more aggressive momentum than them. "

Everyone in Leiria looked at each other. They knew that as long as Porto could be eliminated next, the team would overtake Benfica and rise to No.3 in the league. This has exceeded everyone's previous expectations. Leiria can get such a result?
"Porto's main midfielder Deco, I don't need to remind everyone of his strength. He is an absolutely chilling guy on the offensive end. In order to limit his performance, we can no longer adopt tactics of opening and closing. Must be based on defense to ensure that the midfielder will not lose control when playing away.

The defense has not been adjusted, Lothar is still the starting goalkeeper, Valente is on the left, Amilton is on the right, and Patrick and Briggs are partnered at the center back.There are many changes in other positions. Our starting formation is 4-3-1-2. Marovic is delayed, and Thiago and Pena assist him to form a three-back system.

The position of the front midfielder is Young. Your task will be heavier than others, so be mentally prepared. Del Rey and Paltrow are paired as two forwards. Without the support of teammates on the wing, the two of you will get very little help. If the situation was ugly in the first half, it is better to retreat as much as possible to help the defense. I will make adjustments according to Porto's field arrangement. "

Marciel and Cervantes, who were not selected for the starting lineup, seemed a little frustrated. Mourinho took the excitement or anxiety of the players into his eyes, but he didn't specifically say any words of comfort. Brito winked.

From the day he became Mr. Bobby Robson's assistant coach, Mourinho understood a truth. For the changes in the mental state of the players, the coach can only play a supporting role, and more often they have to adjust by themselves.

……

In Porto in December, the sea breeze engulfed the fog floating on the Douro River, adding a touch of coldness to this northern Portuguese city. It may be because tourists sniffed the smell of wine and sneaked into the wide streets and narrow alleys. The old city The exuberant vitality in the past has become a bit bleak.

When everyone from Leiria arrived in Porto, it was rainy and gloomy outside the car window. The thick cloud made people feel depressed and gloomy. It rolled wildly in the low altitude, as if there really was a giant dragon hiding in it, with wings slightly When it vibrates, there will be wind and thunder agitation.

The Porto people on the banks of the Douro River don’t hate this kind of weather. They claim to be descendants of dragons, and they enjoy the cloudy and rainy sky above the city. Perhaps there are countless grandpas or fathers in the house at this time, giving their children They tell the legend of the dragon of the Douro River.

Yang pressed his hand on the car window, and seemed to be able to feel the sound of raindrops rolling down and wind blowing through the eaves outside. Others were still cursing the damn weather, but he only had the joy and nostalgia of returning to his second hometown in his heart.

Coincidentally, there is another person who feels the same way as Young. Mourinho, who is sitting in the front row, leans on his forehead and thinks of the years spent with Mr. Robson in Porto.

After arriving at the hotel, Mourinho did not issue any instructions. Today's weather is obviously not suitable for stepping on the field. Going to training in heavy rain may cause a few colds before the game. This is simply not worth the candle.

He just met with a few scouts that Leiria sent in advance to investigate, and then gathered the coaching staff in his room, preparing to discuss the intelligence obtained by the scouts internally, so as to make a new deployment for Porto.

"The latest news confirms that Porto's main goalkeeper Vitor Baia is injured and may be replaced by second goal Paul Santos. The other injured, Carvalho, Alenichev and Costinha cannot play. The situation Good for us."

"The depth of their bench is too thick, and this level is not considered a muscle injury at all. Let's wait until tomorrow's starting lineup."

　The game is coming again, please bookmark and recommend, the second update is still at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and the match against Porto is about to start~
