"Shocked! The first batch of big dark horses in this Champions League has been killed, and the Manchester United dynasty is afraid to fall after today! -- A well-known portal on the other side of the ocean that starts with the "U".

......

Compared with the result of Super Laco's one-goal home win over Old Lady Juventus, which has long been famous in European football in recent years, Porto's 2-1 home win over Manchester United is undoubtedly better in terms of both unexpected and shocking effects.

Coupled with the global influence of the current Champions League competition, it was only natural that the first leg of the match between Manchester United and Porto was the headline of almost every news outlet in the world the day after the match.

However, Manchester United is Manchester United, and its status and influence are still superhuman, with the exception of the local media in Porto and Portugal, almost all reports about this game have written about the loser Manchester United as the protagonist, not the winner Porto. All the reports were about how bad, how sluggish, how aberrations Manchester United's performance was, and was followed by a long list of explanations of the underlying reasons.

As for the news about the eventual victorious Porto, it was just a passing pass in their humble corner, and a few casual words praised their bravery and bold tactics at home without fear of the giants Manchester United.

Such a vastly different treatment can be called a typical example of a standard angry person who does not pay for his life.

But that's not what infuriates Mourinho and Porto the most, what annoys them the most is that even after they beat Manchester United at home, these reports, which have just been harshly criticized for Manchester United, still end with cautious optimism that Manchester United will turn around at home and successfully qualify.

This kind of obviously disdainful and dismissive report content simply made Mourinho and the Porto players who had just won Ferguson and Manchester United in high spirits angry.

Maybe before the first leg, they didn't care much when they saw this kind of report, and even a little snickering in their hearts, because at that time, they were treating Manchester United with the mentality of following the gram, hoping that these reports could paralyze Manchester United and allow them to play Manchester United by surprise, but now the situation is different.

For the first time, they did not expect that Ferguson and Manchester United would be stupid enough to make the mistake of the first leg again and let them take advantage of it again. Second, they have just won at home to Manchester United, so the mentality is naturally different. In the past, the media praised Manchester United and belittled them, and they could accept it if they didn't have much confidence in beating Manchester United, but after the real victory, the situation and mentality were naturally different.

However, this is not completely beneficial to Porto, at least Mourinho has clearly found in his daily training that the training enthusiasm of the Porto players has improved significantly compared to usual. In that regard, they will undoubtedly benefit from going to the second leg of their knockout tie away to Manchester United.

Manchester United, by contrast, have been much less responsive to media reports. In addition to the fact that most of them have long been accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and have long been accustomed to the momentary strong winds and waves reported by the media, this is naturally inseparable from Ferguson's "education" of them in the past few days.

Although the 2-1 scoreline doesn't look so bad, after all, Manchester United only need to win 1-0 at home to Porto to rely on away goals to successfully qualify, but a loss is a loss, and the loss is a bit ugly.

After such a game, it is absolutely impossible to see a good look on the face of Alex Ferguson, who has always been strict with the army. If it weren't for the fact that the recent schedule is relatively dense and it is a critical period when players need to maintain their physical strength, Ferguson may not just put on a face and just use the "hair dryer" mouth to educate the players, but really practice hard.

However, despite this, Manchester United's dressing room has also lasted for several days of "rainy weather", interspersed with a few "thundershowers" from Ferguson, and the atmosphere has been solemn and sluggish, without the laughter of the past.

During this period, even Ronaldo, who is currently the most lively in the Manchester United team, honestly pretended to be a good child, and did not even dare to say a few words during training, let alone laugh out loud, for fear of bumping into Ferguson's brow.

In comparison, Li Lei seems to be at ease. Although he has also been silent and has been cold in the past few days, this is his normal state, not affected by the "extremely low pressure" around Ferguson.

Unlike the rest of the players, after the whole squad flew back to Manchester, Li Lei completely put the defeat against Porto behind him. Although he was also not in a good mood about the loss of this game, after all, he was on the bench for the whole game, and he was basically really involved in it, and he has always been a bystander, and his impact is naturally much lower than that of Howard, who has been gloomy every day in recent days.

What's more, there is something more important waiting for Li Lei to do than to indulge in this defeat, and that is a final to be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, at the weekend, where the first final of his career, the League Cup final, is waiting for him to conquer.

Every first time in life is always special, and Li Lei is no exception. Although it was a trophy to win the Carabao Cup, it was the first time for him to come close and be completely his, as he was the only one who started from start to finish in the Carabao Cup this season.

Stimulated by this first championship, although Li Lei did not show much difference on the surface, Richard and others still clearly felt the difference and changes in Li Lei in their daily training.

This is a kind of change in mental temperament, invisible and intangible, and if Richard were to describe it, they would probably say, "Now Lee is like a beast!" ”

"A hungry beast!!"

"A beast about to hunt and tear its prey apart!!"

"He's completely in shape!"

"Crazy!!"

"Horrific !!"
