It's 4 p.m. the next day, because it's midweek, and the fans who come to watch the game don't sit in the stadium full of 30,000 people, about two-thirds of the stadium's capacity.

In 15 minutes, the game will begin. A thin light mist drifted by, the Municipal Stadium became hazy, the temperature of 23 degrees was just right, the sun gradually slipped to the northwest, and the home crowd began to build momentum.

In the tunnel of the players, the players of both sides are also ready, the referee is in front of the players to start leading the players in, Sporting Lisbon lined up the traditional 4-4-2 formation, and the starting striker is Eder, who was once called Portugal's "new golden generation" with Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma? Postiga, the other striker is Delle, a player with a story.

He is one of the few players to have played in all three of the Portuguese Super League, and his brace in the UEFA Cup final under Jose Mourinho in 02/03 was his pinnacle, when his performance saved the heart of Porto president Da Costa, who had to be given emergency treatment at the podium due to chest pain caused by too much tension after the team was held to a draw.

Dellay is a brilliant player, but at this time he is in the twilight of his life, and he is already a 33-year-old veteran! Wu Xiaomu was placed on the bench, and it was clear that the head coach was more cautious in his use of personnel, and the game was on the verge of getting off the ball, with Sporting Lisbon winning the kick-off, and Postiga and Delle were standing in the centre circle ready to kick off.

The referee blows the whistle and the game has begun!

Postiga flicked the ball towards Delle, who quickly flicked it back to Moutinho behind him, and the midfield talent who had been trained in the Sporting Lisbon Academy took the ball out and moved it horizontally to his midfield partner Roshenbach! Roshenbach took advantage of the situation and kicked the ball deep into the side of Braga in the half, and the Russian international Ismailov was speeding down the wing, trying to catch up with the ball, but unfortunately the ball was too strong to go beyond the bottom line!

Lisbon handed over the ball, Braga threw the touchline ball, the ball quickly hit the back of Lisbon, the 20-year-old young goalkeeper Patricio quickly attacked, a big foot broke the ball, the ball flew towards the front of the visiting team, Delle was very lucky to get the ball! He knocked the ball with a backheel, the Braga defenders were not ready for the opening kick-off, and Joopeira made a mistake with Polish goalkeeper Kiscek!

The two conceded the ball, and the shrewd Postiga stole and hit the empty goal, and the game was only in the third minute, and Postiga helped the visitors lead, 1:0!

Postiga opened his arms to celebrate, he hadn't felt this way for a long time, he loved the feeling of the world at his feet! "I, Eder Postiga, is still the striker who can score goals! In the past, those things were all small accidents, and I was the one who could score goals! ”……

The game went on and the visitors got off to a fantastic start, and they didn't expect it to be the only bright spot for Sporting Lisbon in the first half, and later football history will use this game to explain a far-reaching personnel change in Lisbon, and Wu Xiaomu was the biggest beneficiary of that change!

Braga took control of the tempo of the game after falling behind, because once the ball was passed to Sporting Lisbon in front, especially Postiga, there was no need to expect him to pass the ball, and he scored at the beginning of the opening game back to Portugal, at this time Eder may feel that he is the only existence in the world, and the highlights of his striker partner Del Lai in the half are spreading his hands, shaking his head, roaring and hanging his head.

In the first half of stoppage time, Ismailov broke through on the side, and passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the Braga penalty area near the bottom line, Postiga got the ball again, Braga's defenders were used to his way of playing, and concluded that this gentleman would never pass the ball, and then verified their conjecture, Postiga, who was surrounded by three people, was snatched away by Joao Pereira before he could even finish shooting, and Braga almost succeeded in the next counterattack.

Delley pulled out the gap as the defenders gathered around Postiga, and as soon as the ball came through, it was a good one-on-one shot, but he ran again for nothing. If you have played football, you should have a feeling, and if you meet those who are particularly "alone" on the court, if he has excellent skills and strong skills, it will be fine, but if he is the kind of second-rate person who carries the ball to the wilderness, and taking the ball means giving up the ball, then I think unless everyone has a particularly good temper, at least they will complain, and it is not an exception to fight on the field.

At this time, Delley's chest was like a volcano about to erupt, but as a veteran, the wind and waves were coming, so he held back and wanted to have a good "discussion" with his partner in the locker room, and Dellay went down with a black face at halftime.

And Postiga should be thinking in his heart, "It's a pity that I didn't score a brace, why can't my 10 teammates really play around me?" Okay, let's see how good I am in Postiga, and score two more in the second half! Who am I? I'm Eder. Postiga! ”

In the first half, coach Paulo Bento has been standing on the sidelines with a solemn face, no one will turn a blind eye to the current situation of the team, although the team is now leading by 1 goal, but even the visiting fans have to admit that in the more than 40 minutes after the goal, the home team has created many threats, as if it is a matter of time before the goal is broken, if it were not for the young goalkeeper Patricio to play bravely, many times to fly to save, Lisbon's goal would have been lost!

The poor performance up front also affected the players at the back, and everyone seemed to be a little distracted, with the exception of two strikers, one out of anger and one out of contempt. Seeing the performance of his players, Bento made a difficult and bold decision in his heart......

In the locker room, Postiga sat on the bench, put his shirt over his shoulder, lowered his head and prepared to untie his shoes, Delle was about to walk towards Postiga, and was about to "discuss" with him what happened in the first half, when the door to the locker room was pushed open, and the manager walked in, stopped in front of the tactical board, looked at Postiga who was untying his shoes with his head down, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened his eyes and said: "Gentlemen, half time is over, we are one goal ahead, But I think we're all feeling some pressure, we were too passive after taking the lead, we had to make a change in the game, in the second half Wu came on and replaced Eder, and at the beginning Braga will definitely continue to press and chase the goal this morning, use your speed to attack Braga's loose backline! God willing, you will surely reap the rewards. After a slight pause, he added, "Duoduo and Dellai work together, I think the effect will be better." Speaking of this, the head coach seemed to remember something, and then looked at Postiga, who was looking up with a puzzled and shocked expression, and said, "Eder, you should rest for this game and prepare for the next game."

Paulo Bento seemed to be relieved, he should have been holding back this sentence for a long time, although he knew what might happen when he made this decision, a relaxed expression appeared on his face, and finally he didn't have the feeling of fear in the first half!

Postiga has recovered from the shock, knowing that he is the scorer and the team is still ahead of Braga, he can't imagine being substituted! What international jokes?! "Are you sure you want to replace me? I'm a scorer! Are you blind?! ”

He looked at the head coach with a questioning look and a little anger, as if he was trying to restrain his emotions, but in the end he still couldn't hold back, and the slightly trilled high voice: "Why? The manager also seemed to feel the need to explain: "There were some areas in the first half where you weren't perfect, after all, you were new to the team, you need to improve a little bit of team awareness, you know, we had a couple of good moments in the first half that were wasted......

"What does that have to do with me, maybe next time I'll score and I'll score two goals by then!"

"You need to calm down first, I'm the head coach of the team, I understand your feelings, if you feel hurt, then I apologize to you, everything will wait until the game is over, you have a good rest, the team will have a Champions Cup match with Barcelona next" In fact, the manager has already conceded at this point, showing a low profile to a player in public, and said that the team will reuse him in the future.

Postiga stopped talking with an unhappy face, he seemed to have some reason left, so although he was unhappy, he shut up, his gloomy face was dripping, and he threw the wet towel on the floor of the locker room in hatred. Compared with other Mu Ne's teammates, the young Wu Xiaomu has been "watching from the sidelines" from beginning to end.

Next, the head coach looked at Wu Xiaomu with a slight imperceptible smile: "Relax in the next game, enjoy the game, you will love this feeling!" ”

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it, Coach!" Wu Xiaomu was fearless, he didn't care who listened, he said what he felt. At this time, Postiga must think: Ahh “

Just as there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, does a hero have an age limit, and how is genius defined? There is no standard answer, Wu Xiaomu will practice his answer next, the hero doesn't care about the source, and he doesn't care about age!
