Chapter 137: Control the Rhythm

In the first leg of the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup, Porto played at home against the national team, and for Porto, there was only one goal, and that was to win.

The Nationals have not been strong this season, but they have made it all the way to the semi-finals, which is already a miracle for them, and they will certainly want to perform another miracle against the strong Porto, beating Porto over two legs to reach the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup.

The Portuguese Cup is a very fair game, as long as it is a football club in Portugal, they are eligible to sign up, and all the way to the knockout round, high-level teams will only appear in the later schedule, and this is also a fair opportunity for them to play against top league clubs, although the chance of winning is very small, but it is not without a chance, the history of the Portuguese Cup is not without miracles, and even if they lose to the top clubs, for them, It's also a good experience to let them know where they are and the top clubs, motivating them to actively solve the team's problems and fight for a stronger team.

The national team, which is also a team in the Portuguese Super League, is also a top football club, and Porto is one of the three big clubs in Portugal, and this game should sound quite exciting.

However, the gap between the strength of the national team and Porto is still very large, and in addition, they now have to face Porto with Keyan.

Ke Yan's current strength is very terrifying, and Alain's matter, for him, cannot but be said to be an encouragement, which has made Ke Yan now burst out with a strong fighting spirit in the court, and this strong fighting spirit has also affected Ke Yan's current state from the side.

Ke Yan can say without exaggeration that his current self is definitely the best self after coming to Porto.

In the final, he must enter, and he must win the championship.

The game was one-sided from the start, and while the Nationals defence did their best to defend, they were slow to keep up with the young and energetic attacking duo of Antonio Contic, Dominguez, Koyan and Sarabio.

Coupled with the fact that Ke Yan is now very sober and in peak form, their backline will not be able to stop Porto's goal.

In the tenth minute of the game, Ke Yan helped Porto score a goal, and three minutes later, Ke Yan had already completed a hat trick, and the speed of this goal was a bit too terrifying.

"Ke Yan, don't rush too hard! Stabilize your emotions! Fernando shouted on the sidelines, Ke Yan worked very hard, which is a good thing, but now the game is only in the thirteenth minute, Ke Yan has done too many sprints and retreats, and the physical exertion is very huge, there is still so much time in the first half, Fernando does not want Ke Yan to run out of physical strength before the end of the first half, increasing the risk of injury to himself.

Ke Yan heard Fernando's shouts and felt that he had basically completed his task on the court, so he also obediently slowed down the pace of his game, and after taking the ball, he passed the ball to his teammates as much as possible.

At the end of the first half, Porto were already 5-0 up and it can be said that they had basically confirmed their place in the final.

Fernando was a little distressed when he saw Ke Yan panting in the locker room, and quickly told Lucas to warm up and prepare for the second half.

"I know your determination to win, but on the pitch you don't just have to go on a rampage." Fernando said to Ke Yan, "The game has two halves, I divide it into three stages, the first half of the game, you only need to tentatively attack on the line, find out the strength of the opponent, the middle of the game, is the longest and most difficult stage, this time you need to have a tug-of-war with the other party, and the second half of the game, is the period of sprint, if the team is behind, then you need to work harder, if the team is ahead, then you need to hold, but you don't know how to master the rhythm in this game, just kick on the field, Although this game is a goal, there will always be times when you can't score a goal, you have used up all your physical strength, how to hold on in the middle of the game? ”

Ke Yan gasped and nodded, but he was a little too anxious in this game, and his physical strength was already a little unable to run at the thirty minutes of the game.

"Pay attention to the rhythm control when you play in the future, usually watch more game videos between the teams you want to be, and learn how those top players control the rhythm in the game." Fernando admonished Ke Yan.

Ke Yan nodded, he didn't have to play in the second half, he could go to the shower and change into clean clothes now, and the sweat made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately, he was wearing a vest under his jersey, which partly absorbed sweat, making him not as uncomfortable as before.

Ke Yan took off his jersey, then took off the vest he was wearing inside, looking at the vest printed with Alain's photo, Ke Yan smiled, in this game, he took Alain out with him, and in front of Alain, he showed his strong side.

Thinking of this, Ke Yan can also breathe a sigh of relief, the mentality in the game is still the most important, it seems that Ke Yan must adjust his mentality, otherwise he will run out of physical strength after running for thirty minutes in every game, and the team will be finished.

Porto switched a relatively conservative tactic in the second half, they are already 5-0 ahead, and there is no need to attack as fiercely as in the first half, Fernando still hopes that every player can maintain their physical strength, not injured, the league title has also reached the most critical period, and the Europa League has also reached the semi-finals, and now at this point in time, if the player is injured, it is a very big loss for the team.

Porto ended up winning 6-1 and although the Nacional had an away goal at the Stadio de Dragons, it was useless for them to win five goals at home if they wanted to progress to the final and Porto have not scored away from home, or won by more than five goals, but what a difficult task for them.

Ke Yan walked into the player tunnel, the game has ended, it can be said that they have entered the Portuguese Cup finals, Ke Yan now needs to prepare, is the semi-finals of the Europa League, this is a more difficult field, for Ke Yan, he has no way out, since he participated in the game, then, he just wants to enter the final and win the championship!
