With seven games to go, Porto are 17 points ahead of second-placed Sporting Lisbon, and if Porto win two more games in a row, they will make club history by winning the league five games in advance.

If Sporting Lisbon loses, Porto could even hope to win the title six rounds earlier.

After playing in the Portuguese Super League, Porto turned all their attention to the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United.

There's been a lot of spat about Manchester United and Porto in recent times.

Although in all four Champions League quarter-finals, the most watched is the red-blue clash between Liverpool and Chelsea, the battle for supremacy between Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and the match between Porto and Manchester United is only slightly more focused on than Arsenal and Villarreal, the attention of the club executives, coaches, players, fans and even retired celebrities of these two clubs is on their own games.

As one Porto fan said, "I don't have any regrets about missing out on 10 matches, the game between Manchester United and Porto is all I have." ”

Manchester United are the defending champions and the favourites to win the title, and they don't take Porto seriously, even when they mention Porto, they only pay lip service to it, and the war of words is mainly provoked by Porto people whose self-esteem has been stimulated.

Obviously, as long as it is a match against Porto, Ferguson will remember that game five years ago, "We were really robbed that time, obviously a robbery. It was like a game in front of us, with Scholes' clear goal disallowed. What's even more ridiculous is that Cristiano Ronaldo was tripped on the ball and the referee awarded Manchester United a foul, and then they used that free-kick to score. ”

"We've done enough 'homework' with Porto now. This week I was holding a DVD of the Porto games and I watched the footage of their last six games. They won at home to Arsenal and they played well in that game. ”

'It's going to be difficult against the Portuguese team, but at Old Trafford Porto can only get one result and that's a loss, Porto have a good forward line and I just want the back line to focus and not give the opponent an away goal. ”

In the end, Ferguson called on the team to work hard for the five crowns, "Now we have the hope of winning five titles, there is no five crowns on the European continent, although it is a bit difficult, but the pressure is also an inspiration, we have to be brave to be the first, we are used to being the first." ”

In an interview, Ronaldo said: "Porto is also very strong, the top 8 is not easy, they have a good coach, there are good players, but Manchester United is stronger, this is recognized by the world, the game will also prove this, Gao Xiaodong? ”

Former Manchester United captain Keane also supported his team: "Porto are not men, they are bitches, they have skills, they are cunning, I remember the meeting five years ago, the opponent fell as soon as he touched it, faked falls, delayed time, so Manchester United must score first, otherwise there will be trouble." ”

Ferguson and Ronaldo's words are no problem, Manchester United's whole team is worth more than three times that of Porto, and Ronaldo's worth alone is almost equivalent to the whole team of Porto, so it is already very polite, although Keane is not polite, but Keane has that stinky temper, he will do it if he doesn't agree, and he can still be expected to talk more than Sven.

The respect and politeness of the strong also have a high flavor in their bones, which makes the weak angry even more than disdain and contempt.

Especially a team like Porto, which has been rich and noble, they are angry and they are not so polite when they speak.

Captain Alves has only just returned to training and it is uncertain whether he will be able to play in the crucial game at Old Trafford, but he made a declaration of battle: "The whole world is optimistic about Manchester United, but I think we still have a chance, as long as we can score on the road, everything is possible to get back at home, Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world, but we can guard against him. ”

Gao Xiaodong, the vice president of the young team who has become popular recently, also challenged Manchester United, "Nothing is impossible, the battle between these two Champions League winners and three Champions League winners, Ronaldo doesn't know me? I don't know him, but he will always remember me after the game." ”

You can not listen to the words of the captain, but you must listen to the words of the deputy of the senior team.

Since the vice president of the senior team is unhappy with Ronaldo, his teammates must help out his anger.

Porto's new left-back Sissokoho has made a terror threat to Cristiano Ronaldo. "For me, Cristiano is no different from a normal person! if I were to start, I would look after him like any weak opponent!"

And Porto's Brazilian striker Hook is more aggressive than Sissokoho, and he directly attacked Manchester United's "popular fried chicken": "Who is Ronaldo? Is he the world footballer who loves to cry? If he wants to cry, we will accompany him!"

Fernando was a little shameless in his kneeling and licking of the team's vice-president, "I think Gao Xiaodong in the Portuguese Super League is greater than Ronaldo in the Portuguese Super League, and the current Gao Xiaodong can also defeat the current Ronaldo, and the future Gao Xiaodong will definitely surpass the future Ronaldo." ”

Porto's most famous star, Deco, who now plays for Chelsea, also supported Porto, "Manchester United are strong, but they are not invincible, Premier League teams like to play fast, Porto don't want Manchester United to control the tempo, to slow down the game, in addition, Manchester United's main central defender Rio Ferdinand is injured, which is good news for Porto. ”

Inter Milan had just been eliminated by Manchester United in the quarter-finals, and Ferguson openly said that Porto was a robbery five years ago, Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho was very unhappy, and when he received an honorary doctorate at the University of Lisbon, he supported Porto and said, "Porto will definitely beat Manchester United in the quarter-finals and even lift the Champions League trophy again, I have coached Porto, I have implanted the winning gene for Porto." ”

On the Internet, the war of words between Porto fans and Manchester United fans is more lively than that of the players.

Manchester United fans are dismissive of Porto, believing that Porto are simply not worthy of being Manchester United's opponents, and it is a pride for Porto to die at the hands of Manchester United.

Ronaldo's fans are even more angry with Porto and Gao Xiaodong, in addition to Ronaldo's birth at Sporting Lisbon and old grudges with Porto, but also because the provocation of Porto players before the game is too disgusting, Ronaldo fans think that Gao Xiaodong, Hulk and other Porto players just want to use Ronaldo to become famous, they are all arrogant villains, and predict that Ronaldo will use goals to teach Porto's arrogant villains.

Porto fans believe that United have never had the upper hand against Porto, but they are enigmatic arrogant and unsightly, and they say that Porto will teach United another lesson and let them not be so arrogant against Porto.

Both Manchester United and Porto think they can win, but as a third party, the opinion of the media and bookmakers is more objective, and the initial handicap in Europe and Asia before the game is Manchester United concede one and a half goals, and there is not much suspense about the outcome of the game, and the suspense lies in how many Manchester United can win in the first leg.

The major European media are unanimous that Manchester United will definitely win the first leg, the suspense is that Manchester United without Ferdinand, can they keep the goal from conceding, if Porto scores away at Old Trafford, with the Premier League team's record at the Dragons Stadium, Manchester United has hidden worries.

Even in the Portuguese media, no one is optimistic that Porto will win, only the "Record" and "Competition", which are close to Porto, said that it is not a dream to hold on to it and get a draw.
