Chapter 263: Porto's Strong Formation
David naturally wouldn't admit that he was going to watch the game with another woman, so it took him a long time to come up with a relatively acceptable reason.
However, he underestimated the sensitivity of a girl, and not everyone was as inexperienced as he was.
"Hmph, it's still lying, this guy must have an appointment with a beautiful woman, what kind of big beauty can make him leave me aside?" Miranda was not convinced.
Sometimes a woman is interested in a man, and then it is not far from generating some other emotion.
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not David's means of retreating!
If David knew Miranda's thoughts, he wouldn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
After breakfast and exchanging phone calls, David and Miranda parted, and he was really worried that if he continued to be with this natural stunner, would his willpower completely collapse.
He went back to his room and took a cold shower, which finally made his anger subside.
It's time to care about the team and the final.
When he met with Loew in the afternoon, David learned about the situation of the team and the situation of the opponent, and he already had a rough outline in his mind.
I have to say that Porto is also unlucky.
In the second leg of the League Cup semifinals, Porto's main scorer Postiga withdrew because of a red card, and he couldn't play in this final at all, and Porto lost the team's strongest scoring point all of a sudden.
You know, Porto is such a good striker, and whether it is Capjo or Delrey, even if it is not a good striker in the Portuguese Super League, it can't even reach ten goals in a season, how can it threaten the goal of Notts County!
Porto is equivalent to cutting off an arm!
The Notts County first team has already recovered from the widespread flu, and the team currently has no injuries, and can face the final with the most neat lineup, with obvious innate advantages.
However, David still feels that Porto should not be underestimated, they are not good at attacking, as long as there is no problem with the defensive system, they are still the opponent who is difficult to deal with, which I believe Loew should also know.
Take a look at Porto's squad, although the value is generally not high, but they are all powerful players, if there is no such foundation, Mourinho alone, he does not have the ability to bring Porto to this level.
Although the old goalkeeper Baia has retired from the Portuguese national team, his 80 appearances in the national team are still impressive enough, even if his performance is not consistent at times, he is still a reliable link in Porto.
In terms of central defenders, Costa, a veteran who has played for the team for more than ten years, and Emmanuel introduced by Mourinho at the beginning of this season, even if they lose Carvalho, their defensive ability is still excellent.
The two full-backs, Valente and Pacos Ferreira, both of whom are the main players of the national team, are solid defensively, fierce and capable, and although they do not help the team much in attack, Mourinho really does not need their attack.
Defender Costinho is Mourinho's most trusted player, and the most important part of Mourinho's defensive system is to ensure the safety of the defense in a large area, and he has lived up to the trust of the manager.
Up front is Brazilian Magician Deco, and although the Brazilian is destined to leave Porto next season, Mourinho is extremely reliant on his attacking performances.
Right midfielder Alenichev is a typical fast horse on the wing, born as a winger, with excellent skills, but there is a certain disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation and physical fitness, and it is often seen that Mourinho is replaced and rested in the second half of the game.
Left wing-back Maniche is a midfielder, with hard feet and a good long-range shot, often roaming behind the striker in search of opportunities, and at the same time defending quite well, I am afraid that in the absence of Postiga, Maniche will take on more of the goalscoring burden.
As for the two strikers, perhaps Mourinho sent them on to make up the numbers, but David couldn't see any threat to them anyway.
This is probably the starting lineup of Porto in this game, most of which are Portuguese internationals, however, as many media say, this set of lineups is still a certain gap from Notts County, and in terms of value alone, I am afraid it will not be doubled.
If you ask yourself, in fact, Mourinho is still very envious of Loew, regardless of the starting lineups of both sides, only counting the bench, Notts County doesn't know how many streets to throw Porto out, and he has no cards in his hand.
If Mourinho is the manager of Notts County, then he will definitely die happily now, with Notts County's excellent attacking foundation and a mature defensive system, he is confident that he will lead Notts County to win the Champions League.
It seems that he should really go out if he has a chance, instead of continuing to nest in the small Portuguese Super League, where the platform is too small to allow him to reach his full potential.
Don't look at Porto, there is no opponent in the Portuguese Super League, but if it is taken to Europe, I am afraid it will not have much influence.
Don't talk about the Champions League, which giant team hasn't won the Champions League!
David doesn't know what Mourinho thinks and doesn't want to know because he already has Loew and it's enough.
However, David had to face a problem, and although this problem may not appear, the probability of it actually appearing is actually very large.
If Loew really has an unbeatable record in Nottscounty, will the German Football Association extend an invitation to him?
In the previous life, the current coach of Germany, Worrall resigned because of 2 draws and 1 loss in the group stage of the 04 European Cup, and Germany is still facing the serious problem of aging in this life, and I believe that this result will not change much.
In his previous life, after Worrall's dismissal, he was the national team coach of the Golden Bomber Klinsmann, although he did not have any coaching experience at that time, but it turned out that he did a good job.
However, in this life, Loew's coaching performance may be much higher than in the previous life, so will Loew enter the sight of the German Football Association in advance?
Even if the DFB still chooses Klinsmann, Loew continues to coach in Notts County, and as Notts County gets better and better, and even enters the list of giants according to David's ideals, can the DFB still be tempted by Loew?
It's hard to imagine this scene!
If the DFB does extend an invitation to Loew, David does not know what choice Loew will make.
No player or coach doesn't want to play for your country.
Can Loew resist such temptation?
David really doesn't know! (To be continued.) )
