95. Europe's No. 1 black shop
Porto will probably last remembered in 2004, when Jose Mourinho led his side to a surprise Champions League triumph and then moved to Chelsea with his descendants, embarking on a path of no return for a mad coach. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Founded in 1893, Porto are not far behind Manchester United, having won eight more league titles than the Red Devils, and even in the 21st century, when the Portuguese Super League is sluggish, the number of stars they have produced, especially in the last 20 years, has completely stolen the limelight from Portugal's other two giants, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.
For example: Deco, Quaresma, Ferreira, Carvalho, Pepe, Fabiano, Boshingwa, Lisandro, Hulk (Hulk), Falcao, Moutinho, and the new J Ronaldo......
As a Portuguese Super League giant, Porto is good at digging out young and potential players from Portuguese-speaking countries in South America, and after two or three years of training, they are sold to major European giants at a high price, so in addition to being called "star processing factory", they also have a not very nice nickname: "Europe's No. 1 Black Shop".
Like what...... Manchester United's Brazilian golden boy, Anderson, came from Porto, and the Brazilian spent more than half a year in a hospital bed in Porto for a whopping transfer fee of more than 30 million euros (some say £20 million) for Ferguson, and then worked as a water cooler manager for four seasons at Manchester United - oh no, most of the time, the Brazilian midfielder didn't even get into the bench......
For another example, Maniche, nicknamed "The Maniac", defected to Porto as a free agent in 2005, and only a year later, the Portuguese black store sold the defender to a Russian Premier League team with a lot of money for 16 million, and it was a completely cost-free transaction.
Of course, I have to mention the Brazilian "Hulk" Hulk, who was still in the second division of Japan and Uruguay in 2008, he was tapped to Portugal, and then began the biggest counterattack of his life. Four years later, in 2012, he went to the Russian Premier League for 50 million euros - if it weren't for the presence of Qin Goode, he would have been the transfer bid king at the time.
Porto's operating model more or less reflects the survival status of small and medium-sized clubs in Europe and even around the world: excavation, cultivation, and reselling.
As two-time Champions League winners, Portugal's traditional giants, they still need to keep selling people to maintain their expenses, and the situation of other small teams can be imagined.
This is actually the status quo of all clubs except the Premier League, Bundesliga Bayern, La Liga Real Madrid and Barcelona since the beginning of the 21st century, especially under the multiple factors of financial crisis, economic downturn, and Jinyuan football, the rich clubs take all the world, and the weaker ones can only barely survive.
However, even so, the quality of this Porto team should not be underestimated, otherwise Ferguson would not have had to arrive three days early to warm up on the road.
In this Porto team, there are at least six players Qin Goode can be said to be thunderous:
Defenders Mangala and Otamendi, defender Fernando (all three of them later went to Manchester City for a high price), midfielders Moutinho (Portuguese national team midfield playmaker, Ronaldo's younger brother), James Rodriguez (J Ronaldo), striker Jackson Martinez (that is, the J Ma who transferred to Evergrande for 42 million euros in 16 years).
Even if you don't look at the others, these six players are enough to make a quasi-strong team.
In fact, the top three defenders are already in contention with the European giants, and all three are worth more than 30 million euros in an era of lack of good defenders.
To be honest, if you only compare the defensive ability, Porto's young and middle-aged backline can completely blow up Manchester United's old, weak, sick and disabled team......
So Ferguson didn't even think about taking a defensive stance on the opponent's Dragons Stadium, he waved his big hand at the beginning: "Attack!" Offensive! ”
Manchester United's red wave rushed over the white midfield line in an instant!
"Ahem, CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, welcome to watch our program in front of the TV at 3:45 a.m., today brings you the first leg of the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League quarter-knockout match between Manchester United and Porto......"
After Duan Yixuan coughed, he officially started the night shift.
"Everyone is very familiar with Manchester United, but most people are probably very unfamiliar with Porto, this is a traditional powerhouse of Portugal......
When he was still introducing the long history of the home team, the commentator Zhang Lu kicked him offstage.
Duan Yixuan looked up in amazement, only to see a red lightning bolt tearing through Porto's backline.
"Scholes' straight! Goode! Zhang Lu cheered loudly, "Shoot!" ”
“1-0!” Duan Yixuan reacted immediately, he hurriedly looked up at the live broadcast screen, and Qin Gude was already hugging his teammates in the picture, "The opening is less than three minutes!" Manchester United, playing away, scored first! The scorer is Qin Good! ”
Even if he couldn't identify the number of the rest of the United team, he couldn't be wrong about the red number 7 who had just shot on goal!
In this attack, Rooney and Qin Goode made a change of position adjustment in the run, Porto's defender Mangala and defender Fernando were a little overwhelmed for a moment after losing each other's markers, and the ginger head who was still near the center circle immediately shook his ankle and launched a through ball like an arrow close to the ground, thus sending the ball to the feet of Qin Good, who was successful in the anti-offside position.
He took just one step into the box and then calmly slotted his shot from near the penalty spot, giving the opposition goalkeeper no chance to think.
To be honest, he had barely shot at such close range, and at that moment, he felt how the goal was so big, it was almost like empty!
Porto's 33-year-old goalkeeper Elton was completely unresponsive, and he even thought striker Wayne Rooney had scored the goal.
No, how could Rooney have such thick and jet-black hair?!
"Patiently organize the attack!"
Porto's young head coach Bitor Pereira commanded his team from the sidelines.
The 44-year-old coach can be called "young marshal" in football, and after taking over the stall left by Villas-Boas, he led the team to last season's league title, the UEFA Super Cup and the Portuguese Super Cup.
In front of Manchester United, who attacked aggressively and cooperated with the whole field, he even asked his players to "patiently organize the attack"!
Look at his midfielders, the good-looking Moutinho is the heart of the team, but the skinny Portuguese can easily knock him over even Paul Scholes, Lucho Gonzalez is tall and has been on the continent for many years, but the team he played for last season was called Marseille - the same group stage opponent Marseille who allowed Qin Goode to score three goals and one pass in a single game!
Gonzalez, who has been in Ligue 1 for many years, has adapted to that kind of slow-paced game, and when he meets the Premier League giants, his legs are completely unable to keep up with the pace of Qin Goode, and even the stunned young Cleverley can snatch the ball from his feet.
"Porto have conceded again!" Duan Yixuan's voice had no regret, "Manchester United took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!" ”
Cleverley is noticeably smarter now, and his first choice after breaking the ball is to sweep it to Big Brother Scholes, and then sprint forward with his legs - if Ginger Head passes the ball to him again, he can immediately hand it to Qin Good...... Then just wait for the assist bonus!
Unfortunately, Scholes ignored him, and Jiang Tou picked up his right leg and made a long pass, which directly hoisted the ball past the last line of defense of Porto.
"Van Persie!" Duan Yixuan was slightly stunned, and then let out a cheer.
General Fan, who is nearly 30 years old, used his explosive power to block Otamendi behind him, and then he raised his eyes slightly and rose to meet the point where the ball fell.
He felt like he was flying in the clouds.
He then lifted his left foot in mid-air sixty centimeters above the ground.
He felt the ball hit the instep of his foot and bounced back forward!
"Non-stop cushion shot!" Zhang Lu felt great sympathy for Porto's goalkeeper.
The football jumped directly into the goal, and Porto goalkeeper Elton opened his arms, but he didn't even guess the direction correctly!
In the face of Manchester United's powerful firepower, he is simply air!
2-0! (To be continued.) )
