Chapter 123: Thoughts are Clear

Updated: 2013-04-11

Jadel was a little silent during the two days of training, this big man has a relatively delicate heart, his temper is not as rough as he seems on the outside, otherwise it would not have been Dick on the first day of training to give him a dismount, he went to run laps without a sound. [Full text reading. 】

After four years in Porto, although he was a goal-scoring scorer when he was in Brazil, it was in Porto that he really became famous on the European continent, and Porto's goal rate of more than one goal per game gave him the opportunity to be selected for the Brazilian team, although his style was incompatible with Brazil, but in any case, Porto was a springboard for him to go to the world.

To say that there is no emotion, it is a joke, how to say that I stayed for four years, and when I left, it was considered an amicable breakup, originally Jadel thought that he would not meet Porto this season, because Porto is playing the Champions Cup, and Atletico Madrid is playing the League Cup - who knew that Porto did not even make it to the group stage of the Champions Cup, and then coincidentally met with Atletico Madrid in the third round......

Of course, Jadel is not willing to lose, he has not won any European glory in Porto, and with the strength of Atletico Madrid, it is quite possible to challenge for the championship in the UEFA Cup - meeting Porto does make Jardel a little entangled.

Dick had noticed this—although he was a bit heartless in reality, he still cared about this kind of thing.

"I know you have feelings for Porto...... I had only been in Atletico for half a year and it was a bit difficult for me to leave, let alone four years. But don't forget, what did you choose to join Atletico for...... Prove yourself in the top flight, prove yourself in Europe! …… Well, I was there to move you, but isn't that the reason that moved you? In Porto, you don't have a lot of chances in Europe, but now at Atletico you have good chances. Don't miss out on this opportunity, understand? ”

Dick didn't say anything like "I know you, I know you", he just told Jardel that when you joined Atletico Madrid, you wanted to prove yourself in the top flight and in Europe, and now it's a chance to prove yourself in Europe - if you leave Porto and Porto wins the UEFA Cup, will you lose face?

A word wakes up the dreamer.

What's there to struggle with? After playing in Porto for four years, he scored so many goals, how to say that he is worthy of Porto's salary for himself, and when he left, he brought a transfer fee of 20 million, and he was worth 2 million US dollars from Brazil to Porto at that time, which is ten times as much!

I don't have anything to be sorry for Porto, of course, there is affection, but it is not a reason why he will be soft on Porto in this game - if Atletico Madrid is eliminated by Porto because of his softness, then why did he leave Porto?

Determined this, Jardel has nothing to be depressed about, a professional player, very few people can play in the same club from start to finish, and it is common to meet his old club, if this is hypocritical, then what is there to play?

Dick was relieved after seeing that Jardel was clearly in a much better mood in training over the next two days, and Porto's attacking ability has dropped so much that their results in the league have also been declining, but their defense is still quite good, and Jardel, a top striker who is familiar with Porto's backline, can play a considerable role in this situation - his performance will determine Atletico's performance in this game.

"Deco is a guy who needs to be valued."

After solving Jadel's problem, Dick began to think about other things - the first is to freeze Deco - although Deco is still not famous, he is already the core of Porto's midfield, his characteristics are not the same as the average midfielder, he is used to organizing attacks in a deep position, in other words, his current role in Porto is somewhat similar to Belleron's current role at Atletico Madrid, organizing from the back and occasionally attacking forward.

Originally, after having Makellele, Dick didn't worry about the defense of the opponent's attacking midfield, but in the face of a midfielder like Deco, he could only put this task on Baraha, who had excellent running ability and a large range of movement.

"Reuben, your mission in this game is to keep an eye on that Brazilian dwarf, you know? He's the source of Porto's attacking midfield, and with him in mind, Porto are half as much of an attacking threat...... Juan, Ruben is in charge of marking, you have to have a lot of range of motion in this game, bypass their frontal defense, attack from both wings, and try to kill them for me when Jadel attracts their attention! ”

Dick had done this in his training before the game, he didn't plan to use the cards in this game, because it wasn't the time to experiment, and because he had already built up enough confidence in the previous games – just a Porto, do we have to use the goal card to beat?

If I'm careful enough to use a goal card in front of Porto, then what do I have to beat all the Western coaches and make a myth of my own?

The revision of the goal card is certainly a little disadvantageous in terms of its use, but this kind of thing can only be used to assist, in the final analysis, to gain a firm foothold in this world and reach the peak, in the end, it depends on its own efforts.

After thinking in this way, Dick felt that he had completely mastered his thoughts, and had reached the great harmony of life—the so-called he was strong, the breeze was blowing on the hills, he was horizontal, and the moon shone on the river......

On November 24, Atletico welcomed Porto at home.

For Porto, they are in a bad situation right now - Jardel has been the biggest key to Porto's points grabs in the last four years, with the support of his goals, Porto won three league titles, and last season they were runners-up, and now that such a striker has left, Esneider is completely unable to make up for the void caused by Jardel's departure, although there are many rookies in the midfield and backfield, but their results have inevitably declined, and they are entangled with Sporting Lisbon, who have returned to form. Coupled with the strong rise of Braga and Boavista, although the old rivals Benfica have also performed poorly in the league this year, the competition for the league is more intense, which also makes them distracted in the league.

Being eliminated from the Champions League group stage is a huge blow to Porto, which means that their income will shrink this season, so for coach Dorivar, although they have just beaten Alves 1-0 away in the last round of the league, extending their lead over Sporting Lisbon to three points, he still has to let his players play with all their strength - after being eliminated in the Champions Cup, they will have to achieve a better result in the League Cup. will make his position more stable after the end of the season.

It's just that when facing Jadel, whether it is Porto's defenders or coach Dorivar, there is a little drum in their hearts - in the past four years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jardel has ruled the whole of Portugal, and his goals have helped Porto win three league titles and one league runner-up, and only one Nuno can fight against him? Gomez, and even Gomez, in terms of goal rate and deterrence, is far from comparable to Jardel!

In the past, they watched Jadel help them destroy the city and become invincible, but now, they have to face this terrifying siege weapon!

This kind of deterrence makes Porto's preparation basically revolve around Jardel, how to contain Jardel, if Jardel is not to score, how to break through Atletico Madrid's door through counterattacks while containing Jardel...... It's all something they're thinking about – but Dick is a natural pretext for Jadel, where his role is to pull the run and pull it out, and then create opportunities for Belleron, who is already behind his team-mates on the wings.

This may not be pleasant, but after Dick talked to him, he also felt that it seemed that it would be very good, at least to lead the team to victory, and not to let himself score against his old club, as if he had killed his old club with his own hands, which was not good......

So in the game, Jadel began to pretend to attack himself, but constantly pulled the opponent's defense out of the penalty area to create opportunities for his teammates.

So Porto was out of luck.

Dorriwal is actually very familiar with Jadel, he knows that this is a striker who is quite eager to score goals, he has to be that arrow figure at all times, and then use his own shot to win for the team, plus the particularity of this game, he never thought that Dick would let Jadel be a cover, let alone that Jadel would be so willing to be a cover!

It's not scientific! Absolutely unscientific!

But unscientific things happened in front of everyone, when the defenders of Porto were almost all focused on how to contain Jadel, Atletico Madrid launched a beautiful attack, after Vicente broke through on the side, when he saw that Jadel in the penalty area was being stared at by the opposing defenders, he immediately passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, and the forward Belleron received the ball at the front of the penalty area, took a step into the penalty area, and then shot vigorously with his right foot, A close-range shot flew into the gate guarded by Baia!

When the Porto people have not come to their senses, Atletico Madrid's attack worked again, Belleron took the ball at the front of the penalty area, saw that Jadel once again attracted the attention of the opposing defender, and did not pass the ball to him, but directly to Camoranesi who was inserted on the side, because the attention of the Porto defenders was on Jadel, Camoranesi easily appeared in the penalty area, and then faced the attacking Baia calmly pushed the far corner, 2-0!

Atletico Madrid won the game in the first half, seeing that they were already two goals behind, and if they conceded again, there could be a massacre, Dorival sensibly adopted the tactics of recycling the defense, and at the same time kept a good defense on other Atletico Madrid players, which made Dick slightly disappointed, he thought that Porto would press the attack or relax the defense of Jardel, in that case, Atletico might be able to kill the opponent at home......

The final score was 2-0, Atletico Madrid beat Porto at home, and took a solid step towards the fourth round - Dick once again solidified his self-confidence and increased his confidence in his group of players, and he felt that his goal for this season was very close, because the team's run-in was basically completed.
