Chapter 125: Died of Cold

Although it is midweek, Ke Yan can't feel the atmosphere of training in midweek, because Porto is a team that has qualified for European competition after all, in addition to the league on the weekend, it may also face cup matches in midweek, as well as European matches, if the schedule is tighter, it may even be three games a week, which is a very big pressure for the players, after all, everyone is an ordinary person, and no one can not collapse under such high pressure.

Although Porto is a strong team, but their player lineup is not at all as good as those European first-line giants, because most of their players are young players, some players will be poached into larger clubs after a little fame, and the team's player turnover is very fast, so this team needs to prepare two sets of lineups to deal with the challenge of multi-front operations, and it is often seen that in different games, Fernando sent different starters to play.

The midweek game was the first leg of the Europa League quarter-knockout round, Porto's away game against Shakhtar Donetsk, and Ke Yan was also on the team's bench for the first time after entering the first team, and followed the team to Donetsk.

After coming to Porto, it was the first time that he had come to play in a country other than Portugal, which was new to him, and he always felt that if he didn't play, he would have taken a free trip with the team.

Although it's already March, but Ukraine is still quite cold, at least Ke Yan thinks so, most of the other teammates of the team are used to flying all kinds of flying in the north and south, and the climate in various places is also relatively familiar, coming to a new environment, they can quickly adapt to the local weather, but for Ke Yan, a player who comes to such a high latitude for the first time, it is simply unacceptable.

This is the first time Ke Yan has worn a padded jacket since he came to Europe, but fortunately, Joseph reminded himself and brought a padded jacket, otherwise, Ke Yan felt that he would definitely not be able to hold on to the hotel, so he would freeze to death in Ukraine.

Ke Yan nested in the hotel for a day, no matter what he did, he didn't go out, there was air conditioning in the hotel, at least it could be warmer, and the other teammates went out to all kinds of wandering, as if they were here for vacation, but Ke Yan felt that he was guilty of coming here.

But even if you don't want to go out, you still have to go out when it's time to train and compete.

Shakhtar Donetsk's home stadium still has geothermal heat, which makes Ke Yan feel better, at least the lower half of the body will not be cold, and the upper body still feels cold, when training, Ke Yan is wearing a long-sleeved training jacket.

"Anyway, you still have a lot of time to play in places like this, you have to try to get used to the local climate, and we're okay now, but in Ukraine, I asked if you go to Northern Europe or Russia in the winter, I think you'll freeze to death." Cassie said to Ke Yan while training with Ke Yan.

Ke Yan nodded and said, "This is the first time I've come to this kind of place to compete, of course I'm a little unaccustomed, if I come out more, then I will definitely have no problem." ”

"It's better to get used to it as soon as possible, after all, there is a high chance that it will snow in the middle of the game on the Nordic and Russian sides, and then it will be really difficult." "I've been to Moscow before, and it's good that there is no blizzard, otherwise the game would have been interrupted, and it would have been a real ordeal if the game hadn't been interrupted." ”

"If possible, I wish I wouldn't be competing in those countries for the rest of my life." Ke Yan shook twice and said.

The warm-up was over soon, and Ke Yan hurriedly ran back to the locker room, which was still relatively warm.

In today's game, Ke Yan is a substitute player, and he must sit on the bench to watch the game before he goes on the field, for this, Ke Yan has a lot of complaints, even if he brings a padded jacket over, Ke Yan feels that if he sits on the bench and does not move, it will definitely be very cold.

But it can't be helped, that's how Fernando arranges his tactics.

'Today our goal is to keep the draw and try to win as much as possible, this is at the opponent's home stadium, as long as we have an away goal, it is a good result, the opponent is not weak, we can't take it lightly.'

Fernando said the goal of this game, now the team is fighting on multiple fronts, and it is necessary to develop the right strategy in some games, otherwise the players will definitely have problems if they fight so hard in every game.

It's March, and the competition for the championships has reached the most critical stage, the league has eight or nine rounds to go, and the cup has entered the semi-finals, and the Europa League has also entered the key knockout rounds.

The game officially started, the Porto players played very cautiously, but the players of Shakhtar Donetsk were very excited, they are now home advantage, and they must try to extend the advantage as much as possible in the home stadium to win the game.

Fernando's tactics are very conservative, defensive-oriented, but there are some differences from Ke Yan's favorite defensive counterattack, although the team's tactics are now defensive-oriented, but they have not given up the initiative to attack, from the perspective of the field, the two sides are actually still a five-five situation.

However, the set-piece method of breaking the goal is a bit unstoppable, and the players have tried their best, but when they can't stop the opponent's attack, they can only use tactical fouls to block it.

However, it was this set-piece that allowed Porto to concede the ball first, Shakhtar Donetsk's forward midfielder is obviously very good at scoring from set-pieces, and the set-pieces kicked are very tricky, Casillas has tried his best to save, but there is no way, the ball still flew into the goal.

After conceding the goal, Cassie looked very frustrated, there was really no way to lose the ball, whether it was directing the wall layout or the final save, he had really done his best.

Fernando hammered his thigh, this conceded goal was something he didn't expect, he thought of a lot of defensive strategies, but he didn't expect that the opponent took the lead in breaking the door with a set-piece.

Ke Yan sat on the bench, buried half of his face in his padded jacket, shivering with cold, but he was still very clear about the situation on the field, it was precisely because the players on the field did not implement Fernando's tactics well that the opponent would have this set-piece opportunity, and in the final analysis, it was because the attacking players in the front court were too aggressive that this goal was conceded.

Ke Yan shook his legs frantically, muttering, "It's really cold."
