This warm-up match between Notts County and Porto is like a pure white handkerchief, which can erase many people's relevant cognition.

Although Loew recognizes Porto's quality, he does not think Porto can become Notts County's biggest rival in the UEFA Cup as David said;

Deco knows that Notts County may have a strong presence in League One, but he does not recognize David's blind confidence in Notts County's strength;

Jose Mourinho didn't take Notts County seriously, even if Notts County also qualified for the League Cup, but who knows if it was obtained through some kind of fair play or something, and what kind of strength a League One team can have!

Alonso knows that chairman David has bought a playmaker in Porto but has returned to Porto on loan due to labour certification issues, but he does not believe the midfielder could threaten his loan position when he arrives at Notts County next season

However, this match completely overturned their thoughts and thoughts, and even after the game was over for a long time, they still remembered it in their minds.

After a brief period of probing, the two teams began to compete according to their own tactical arrangements, with Notts County in control and Porto relying on excellent defence and baptism of counter-attacks to threaten the Notts County goal, and the first half of the game was evenly matched.

Loew stared closely at the game on the field, but he was very shocked in his heart, Porto's style of play will really give many clubs a headache, comparable to the concrete defense of Serie A, comparable to the rapid counterattack of the Premier League, the combination of the two, not to mention Notts County, even if the giants come, they dare not say that they can take advantage of it.

It seems that David is really not alarmist, if this half of the game is not Porto's extraordinary performance, then Porto definitely have the strength to dominate in the European competition.

Looking at the young marshal next to him, who was as young as himself, he admired it in his heart, and Loew couldn't help but have the idea of having a good fight.

Deco was also very surprised after half the game, and he already had the most intuitive understanding of the strength of Notts County.

Evenly matched or even slightly superior, in the competition with Porto, the Portuguese Super League giant, can still achieve such a scene, which shows that the strength of Notts County really cannot be described as the strength of the idle League One club, I am afraid that the general Premier League club is just like this, or even slightly inferior!

And Mourinho was also frowning on the sidelines, he didn't expect an ordinary warm-up game, Porto would be able to meet such a strong League One team, if England's clubs are all this kind of strength, then Porto really don't have to play in the League Cup.

As for Alonso on the field, after half the game, he was simply surprised.

Although he is confident, he is not blindly conceited, and his strength should be among the best in the midfield of the younger generation, but it cannot be compared with the top midfield masters.

However, it was his future teammate who he thought might not be a threat to him, and after his observation, he was stunned to find that this slightly short midfielder actually had the strength to impact the world's top midfielder, which made him feel very frustrated.

You can't threaten your position yet!

If he continues to improve, then the two may be called dual-core next season, but if he doesn't have a big improvement, I'm afraid he can only play as a substitute for others, and this situation is definitely not what he wants to see.

After understanding each other's strengths, both teams were no longer retained in the second half, and opponents of similar strength were more likely to arouse each other's fighting spirit, and this game was exactly like that.

Notts County relied on excellent overall attack and excellent individual strength to control the help, threatening Porto's goal from time to time, and Porto's strong midfield strangulation also made Notts County very uncomfortable, coupled with Deco's keen line of play in the counter-attack, Porto was also a threat to the Notts County goal.

The two teams gradually played a spark, and you and I went back and forth and threw ourselves into this inconsequential warm-up game.

However, the battle between the two teams ended in defeat for Notts County, which was a surprise to many.

It was not until the 80th minute of the second half, the score was still 0:0, and then, Porto's next attack simply broke through the Notts County goal, so simple that Notts County's goalkeeper Diego Lopes did not react.

After being scored, Carvalho sat on his knees with a dull expression and lost his mind for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, which was really embarrassing.

After coming to Notts County for a season, the Portuguese central defender has already been completely integrated into the team, but at that moment, he was in a trance after concentrating on fighting for almost a game, and he felt that the Porto striker Alenichev who had the ball was still his teammate, and the defensive action was sluggish, allowing the opponent to dodge himself and face the goalkeeper behind him to form a single goal.

In fact, Alenichev is still very puzzled, he knows Carvalho's strength very well, and he is definitely the world's top central defender, but which one is this guy playing?

No matter what Carvalho's thoughts are, there is no reason to let go of the opportunity when it comes, shoot first!

So Notts County conceded the goal.

It was also the only goal of the game.

Although the Notts County team-mates felt that the goal was a bit embarrassing, they could not blame Carvalho, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, although this mistake is really a bit strange.

This is the end of this game-changing game, and everyone has been reminded that although the winner and the loser are decided, it does not prevent the two teams from gaining their own gains.

Mourinho looked at Loew not far away, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Always take a long-term view, although this season has not achieved much in the league and the League Cup, but Mourinho has set his sights on next season's Champions League, without this strategic vision, can it still be called a madman!

The team lost its main central defender Carvalho last season, although he found a suitable replacement in time, but the decline in the team's defensive ability is an indisputable fact, and only through greater efforts of the defensive team can it be compensated, if Carvalho is still in the team, then he must have a greater certainty of the title.

What frustrates him the most is that the core of the team's midfield has also been sold by the short-sighted club, although he still stays in the team this season and can participate in the League Cup with the team, but what about next season?

If Porto want to do well in next season's Champions League, how can they not have this world-class midfielder who is capable of ranking in the top felt?

Looking at the equally good playmaker in the Notts County squad, he is full of envy for Loew.

The idea of finding a place with greater power once again came out of his heart irrepressibly, and Mourinho fell into deep thought for a moment.
