At two o'clock in the afternoon of April 20, the luxury bus of the Porto club arrived in Coimbra, the third largest city in Portugal, accompanied by more than 4,000 Porto fans. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there is no suspense about Porto winning the title with a 17-point lead over second place, after last season's unexpected snatching of the league title by Rexos, Porto fans are always a little uneasy, and they desperately hope that Porto will soon win the second title of the season.

Porto have one of Portugal's biggest fan bases, and the tournament, which could be crowned, has also attracted a large number of Porto fans who want to see the team make new history.

After defending the pitch at Coimbra, the Porto players acclimatised to the pitch and did a half-hour warm-up before heading back to the dressing room to await the start of the game.

Monkey, Xiao Le, Chen Qiang and others came to Coimbra in the morning with the fat fan group, they visited the University of Coimbra, which has a history of more than 700 years, ate Coimbra's fried sturgeon, and saw the church of Santa Clara in the afternoon, and then came to the stadium to wait for the start of the game.

The game took place at four o'clock, and around three o'clock, a third of the seats were already filled in the stands at the Coimbra stadium, most of whom were Porto fans from afar.

The fans of Porto and Coimbra are relaxed, Porto do not think that Coimbra can really beat Porto, and Coimbra fans do not see beating Porto as a task.

At 4:20, the players of Porto and Coimbra came out of the dressing room, Ferreira and Dominguez were old acquaintances, but they only greeted each other and did not communicate more.

Players who knew Porto and Coimbra also greeted each other, and the players Gao Xiaodong didn't know were talking to Hulk and walking forward, but a slender black big man stopped Gao Xiaodong.

"Xiao Donggao, I think it's okay to exchange jerseys with you after the game? I heard that I need to make an appointment to exchange jerseys with you, so I'm not too late now. ”

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head, since the Champions League group qualified, there have been more and more things exchanging jerseys, and it looks like there will only be more in the future.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, what's your name? Gao Xiaodong was joking with this big black man.

"You're really joking, I'm a big guy and I don't have any experience, my name is Edelchito, you can call me Eder, Xiao Donggao, you are my idol, your miracle of growing from an amateur player to a star is really touching, but unfortunately I, the striker, have not scored for Coimbra until now. ”

"It's the striker who will score sooner or later, I just hope you don't score today, oh, you can score, don't win. ”

"No, I'd rather not score than beat you. ”

The big black Edel seemed to have found a close friend and talked to Gao Xiaodong while walking.

Coimbra coach Domingos saw his stupid big striker talking and laughing happily with Gao Xiaodong, and sighed secretly, "It's a pity, if I have geniuses like Gao Xiaodong, Falcao, and Hulk, I can also be like Oliveira and Ferreira, but it's a pity that I only have players like Eder and Sugu in my hands." ”

Seeing the players from both sides come out, the stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and a third of the fans chanted the name of "Gao Xiaodong".

Since Porto eliminated Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong's popularity has increased dramatically, and now he has become the star of the Portuguese Super League, throwing away newcomers such as Moutinho, Veloso, Di Maria, and Coentrão, who were originally the same name as him.

Coimbra's on-site commentator sighed: "In terms of technique alone, Gao Xiaodong is even worse than Moutinho Veloso and Di Maria, but Gao Xiaodong can always play a huge role in key battles, which is the potential of the star and the reason why Gao Xiaodong quickly became famous." ”

At 4:30, with the referee's whistle, the 25th round of the Portuguese Super League finally kicked off.

The Coimbra team, which played at home, was not afraid of Porto who had just reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and played at a very high level after the opening, attacking like a cloud and defending like an iron wall.

Ferreira on the sidelines frowned, although he had been telling the players before the game, don't be careless, don't underestimate the enemy, win Coimbra, and prepare for Arsenal wholeheartedly, but the players still can't help but underestimate the enemy psychologically.

This can't be helped, after all, just finished playing the defending champion Manchester United, and eliminated Manchester United, it is impossible to make Porto's players pay attention to the mid-table teams of the Portuguese Super League.

In the first ten minutes, Coimbra pressed Porto to play, and the fans of Porto didn't care, they all looked relaxed, thinking that this was Coimbra's home stadium, and people must show it, they didn't believe that Coimbra could still win Porto.

In fact, Porto's players think the same way.

However, twenty minutes passed, and Coimbra still pressed Porto.

Thirty minutes passed, Porto had fewer individual performances, more active running, more coordination, but Coimbra still had the upper hand.

Coimbra's style of play is very technical, focusing on attacking on both flanks and not giving up on the penetration of crosses in the middle, which is also related to Domingos' tradition of advocating a return to Portugal.

In the face of Coimbra's overall counter-attack and fast passing, Porto played a little impatiently, the players couldn't calm down to organize the attack, the midfielders were bent on passing the lethal ball, Rodriguez and Hulk hated to pass everyone to score, Falcao shot regardless of the timing was good or not, and even Meleles and Gao Xiaodong couldn't help but want to solve the problem with long-range shots.

Coimbra is not a fish belly in the Portuguese Super League, Dominguez knows Porto well, and it is not so easy for Porto to beat Coimbra simply and roughly.

Ferreira shouted half loudly on the sidelines, but even the captain Alves and the team's deputy Gao Xiaodong were in an impetuous mood, where Ferreira could change by shouting a few words on the sidelines.

Look at the time of 35 minutes, Ferreira also gave up shouting and returned to the coach's box, he wanted to wait until halftime to adjust well, he couldn't break through the opponent's goal at halftime, at that time Porto's players should also understand what the problem is, take a step back and say, the match between Guimarães and Sporting Lisbon in the other stadium is still 0:0, even if Porto loses this game, they can still win the championship.

Coimbra grew more and more confident, and with 40 minutes played, they finally found a gap in Porto's defence through a patient cross-cutting combination.

Coimbra's successive attacks from the flanks caused an emptiness in the middle of Porto and the ball was passed to midfielder Miguel. When Pedro was at his feet, Pedro suddenly cut through the gap between Porto's centre-backs Rolando and Alves.

Coimbra striker Sugu quickly slipped past Fernando's side and chased the ball in the box before he was a push.

Porto goalkeeper Helton reacted quickly, he subconsciously blocked the ball with his foot.

But before the Porto fans applauded Helton's save, striker Eder, who had failed to score a goal in 25 games for Coimbra, stretched out his long leg and shoveled the ball into the back of the net.

1:0

Coimbra lead Porto at home.

Almost at the same time, news came from another stadium that Sporting Lisbon had taken a 1-0 lead over Guimaraes with a goal from Moutinho a minute earlier.
