541 Mourinho facing the old master

readx;

After the win over Udinese, Inter Milan returned to Milan for a short break and had to start a new away campaign, this time to Portugal!

Because, in midweek, they welcomed the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals!

Before Chen Xi left for Portugal, Carolina had already left Milan and went back to Liverpool to study. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Chen Xi's careful care in the past few days, Carolina's body has no problems for a long time.

And, when she tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, she seemed to be in love with it.

Before leaving, I went crazy with Chen Xi again!

…… In the Champions League in midweek, there were a number of strong conversations between the giants.

However, Jose Mourinho's return to the Dragon Stadium with Inter Milan still attracted the attention of many fans and the media!

As we all know, Mourinho led the team to the European finals for two consecutive years in Porto before he began to make a name for himself in European football!

Therefore, it is generally believed that he has inexplicable feelings for Porto!

In an interview, Mourinho also gave a positive answer, but he also said that his feelings for Porto will not affect him to lead the team against his old boss.

"Yes, I have very good memories in Porto. I will never forget the two and a half years I spent there. However, now I'm the coach of Inter Milan. I have an obligation to lead Inter Milan to victory and progress to the next round of the Champions League. So back at the Dragons, I won't hold anything back! "Mourinho is frank and says what is in his heart!

In addition to Mourinho, Inter Milan defender Carvalho also returned to the Dragon Stadium for the first time.

He and Jose Mourinho expressed the same sentiment: "I spent four years in Porto. Among them, there have been ups and downs when they couldn't play the main force, and there were also the glory of reaching the finals of European competitions for two consecutive years. So, it's going to be the most memorable time of my career! As a professional, I'm going to put my personal feelings behind me at the Dragons in midweek. Maybe I'll get back together with my old teammates before or after the game, but on the field, I don't have any reservations! ”

In addition to these two former Porto-natives, Chen Xi is also a key figure in this game.

Because, it is precisely because of his crazy performance in the European finals for two consecutive years that the Porto team has won the runner-up twice in a row. For this reason, he is also known as Porto's nemesis by the media.

In this game, she met Porto again, and the media naturally wanted to interview her!

In response to questions from the media, Chen Xi showed his determination to win this game: "Porto is a great club. They have given birth to countless great Portuguese superstars. They have also created their own brilliance. As for the European finals of the last two seasons, I think that's a thing of the past. It's the game in front of us that's all it takes, and at the Dragons Stadium, we're going to do our best!

As runners-up in last season's Champions League, Porto are nowhere near as strong as last season. Although they are still among the five teams in Portugal's top flight, it will be difficult to reach the final of the Champions League again.

Porto have only won four, drawn four and lost three in the last 11 rounds of domestic league games, and their form is far from ideal. The current manager, Marc Corcelo, is the team's third coach this season.

Obviously, Mourinho's departure is a huge blow to Porto.

Of course, in addition to the departure of the manager, the transfer of key players in the team, such as Deco, Alenichev, Carvalho, Ferreira, Delle and Mendes, has also greatly reduced the strength of the team.

Therefore, put aside the gimmick of Mourinho facing the old master. The media generally did not think that Porto could stop Inter Milan's progress!

…… February 24, 8:45 p.m.!

The first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals between Porto and Inter Milan will officially start at the Stadio d'Oro!

Before the start of the game, the Dragon Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 fans, can be described as a hot spot.

A lot of Porto fans came to the scene, and in addition to wanting to see the team win a victory, they also wanted to welcome the man who brought Porto glory!

Yes, although Mourinho gave up the remainder of his contract with Porto and switched to Inter Milan.

However, in the hearts of Porto fans, he still has an extremely high status!

Therefore, in the stands today, the fans also unfurled a lot of banners welcoming Mourinho back to the Stadio de Dragons!

"Welcome back, Jose!"

"Jose, this will always be your home!"

"We will never forget the joy you brought us!"

"Come home often, Jose!"

…… A series of slogans made Mourinho, who has always shown himself as a cool brother, have to be moved.

Before the start of the game, he walked out onto the pitch and waved his thanks to the fans in the stands.

Of course, he still restrained his tear ducts and did not let the tears flow.

Mu Maniac...... He will never show his weakness in public!

"Oh, what a touching scene! The fans of Porto welcomed Mourinho in their way! Jose Mourinho also waved in response. Although the commercialization of football is becoming more and more serious, it is undeniable that the human touch on the football field has not diminished because of this! As the commentator of this game, Karachi was also moved by such a scene.

"Okay, let's get down to business, let me first introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides......"

"The home team Porto is in a four-four-two formation today, and the goalkeeper is still the Portuguese old goalkeeper Baia. At the back, Sitaridis was lined up with Ricardo Costa, Emmanuel and Valente. In midfield, the defensively strong Boshingwa, Meireles, Costinha and Maniche were very defensive. Up front, Quaresma and McCarthy, who returned from Barcelona, are on the line. The only regret is the heart of their midfield, Brazilian genius Diego is out today due to injury. This will have quite an impact on their offense! ”

"The visiting Inter Milan team is still in a four-three-three formation. Goalkeeper Toldo. From right to left, the backline is Zanetti, Materazzi, Carvalho and Zambrotta. The midfield is still a combination of Essien, Stankovic and Cambiaso. On the front line, Recoba and Edison are separated, and Adriano is in the middle! Vieri was put on the bench......"

…… While Karachi was introducing the line-ups of the two teams, a series of pre-match ceremonies were almost underway.

Chen Xi is no stranger to the Boleros Stadium in Porto, as he played here at last summer's European Championships.

Although the final stadium to win the championship was the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, it still left a good memory for Chen Xi!

Before the game started, Chen Xi found that one of the players on the other side was staring at him doggy.

That's the opponent's number seven Quaresma!

Before Ronaldo became famous, he was the recognized successor of Figo in Portugal.

And, following in Figo's footsteps, he landed at Camp Nou and became part of Barcelona.

It's a pity that the winger, with his flashy skills, has no room at Camp Nou. After just one season and one goal, he was sent back to Portugal as a trade-in add-on. However, the team changed from Sporting Lisbon to bitter rivals Porto!

Although this deal is a bit involuntary, it still makes him a traitor in the hearts of his old club Sporting Homebourne fans!

has had a bumpy career, but the Chinese kid who is more than a year younger than himself has risen all the way to become a top superstar in today's football. This made Quaresma feel a little unwilling.

He had watched some of Chen Xi's video highlights, and he thought that he could do all the fancy moves that Chen Xi did, and he could even do them more beautifully. In this way, he also thinks that he is not much worse than Chen Xi. What he lacks is just a chance to prove himself!

Therefore, this direct dialogue with Chen Xi has become an opportunity for him to prove himself in his heart!

Chen Xi didn't know what this Portuguese man was thinking, he had the impression that although this guy had good strength, he didn't have the luck of a wealthy family. He said that he had the opportunity to join Inter Milan in the future, but it turned out to be a famous parallel import!

Of course, with the advance of Mourinho's arrival at Inter Milan, Chen Xi is not sure whether that transfer will happen.

…… Honk!

The referee's whistle interrupted Chen Xi and Quaresma, who were thinking about each other!

"Okay, the game is on......"

It is not difficult to see from the lineup of the Porto team today that their idea today is to defend and counterattack.

Obviously, Marcelo is very jealous of Mourinho, his predecessor who had achieved wireless success in Porto.

Therefore, after the start of the game, the Inter Milan team playing away occupied the absolute initiative.

At this time, the Porto fans in the stands also put away their pre-match warmth and began to cheer for their team and boo for the Inter Milan team!

However, these boos did not interfere with the Inter Milan team's skillful attacking coordination at all.

Although Porto has four midfielders with good defensive ability, it is still difficult to stop the attack of Inter Milan team in layers!

As soon as the game started, the Inter Milan team formed a number of threatening attacks in a row!

Among them, in the eleventh minute, Adriano forced a shot from the front of the penalty area after shaking off the void, and it hit the crossbar and popped up, which really shocked the Porto people into a cold sweat!

Compared with the continuous offensive of the Inter Milan team, the attack of the Porto team can basically only be launched through counterattacks!

Quaresma as a winger and Boshingwa on the right were the two points of their counter-attack!

Among them, Quaresma's performance is particularly active!

He constantly switched positions on both flanks and showed no weakness when facing Zanetti and Zambrotta.

His feet were embroidered as if he were embroidered, and he constantly made dazzling dribble movements, which also earned him wave after wave of cheers from the Porto fans.

Jose Mourinho, who advocates wide attacks, also cast an admiring look at the compatriot.

In his opinion, if Quaresma can play more concisely when it matters most, he can definitely become a first-class winger!

Moreover, he is still fantasizing about whether to poach him next season and form magical wings with Chen Xi.

Just when Mourinho was yy, Quaresma used one of his feints to shake Zambrotta and then crossed!

The ball was sent to McCarthy in the middle, but unfortunately when he faced Carvalho, who was about his own height, he did not take advantage of it at all, and the ball was easily pushed out of the penalty area by Carvalho.

The expectant Porto fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.

Seeing that Carvalho, who was still a Porto defender last season, has now put on the blue and black striped shirt and built a strong fortress in front of the Porto team's attack, many Porto fans feel a little sad.

In the twenty-eighth minute of the game, something even more sad happened!

Porto saw an opportunity to counter-attack and pressed heavily in the hope of sneaking one.

Who knows, without the playmaker in midfield, the ball was easily cut off by Essien during the pass.

The Ghanaians did not hesitate to send the ball to the feet of the retreating Chen Xi!

Chen Xi received the ball and turned around, and took it to the middle, and after a feint shook Mereles, Chen Xi suddenly stuffed the ball to the left rib of the penalty area!

Adriano understood, leaned on the opposing defender, plugged in at high speed, and controlled the ball first!

Taking advantage of the situation to lead into the penalty area, Adriano resisted Ricardo Costa with his body, and directly picked up his left foot!

Although Ricardo Costa lost his balance in the physical confrontation with Adriano, he still made the move of falling to the ground and blocking it for the first time!

His leg that blocked Adriano's path did touch the ball, but not only did he fail to block it, but instead let the ball deflect off his foot and turn it into a lob shot that flew towards the back post!

This made Baia, who had already blocked the angle in front of him, very frustrated, and although the other defender, Emmanuel, had already run back to the goal and made a flying hook move.

But he couldn't prevent the ball from crossing the goal line and he kicked it directly into the net from the inside!

“egoal! egoalegoalegoal,égolégolégol,égolégolégol,égolégolégol!!! Ade! Ade! Ade~~~~~~~~~~ Riano!! After a slump after the winter break, the former Inter king is back in form! That goal just now showed the perfect combination of his body and speed! Of course, a large part of this ball is also credited to Edison, who sent him a precise through ball! Edison proved with his performances that not only can he deliver crosses from the flanks, but he can also play through balls in the middle!! Karachi exclaimed!

More than 3,000 Inter Milan fans who came to Porto with the team also gave a huge cheer!

On the sidelines!

Mourinho didn't celebrate as wildly as he used to say, he just clapped his hands on Adriano's goal.

The Porto fans retained respect for him just now, and naturally he can't rub salt in the wounds of the Porto fans!

On the field!

After the goal, Adriano first rushed to the stands where the Inter Milan fans were, celebrated wildly, and then remembered Chen Xi, waved him over, and gave Chen Xi a hug!

It was just three minutes after that goal.

Chen Xi returned to his position and sent a full moon scimitar to Adriano on the side!

It's a pity that Adriano's header was not as powerful as his shot, although he fought for the top, but the header was a little weak, and the ball was easily obtained by Baia.

Seeing Chen Xi's continuous wonderful performances, Quaresma on the Porto side seemed to be stimulated.

Constantly take the initiative to ask for the ball, and then attack the Inter defence on both flanks.

It's a pity that after his successive breakthroughs, Zanetti and Zambrotta, two experienced players, are also familiar with his style.

While he was there performing fancy foot movements, Zanetti and Zambrotta often ignored him. Instead, after he activates it, he puts it on again.

In this way, while it is still difficult to break the ball at the feet of Quaresma, who has a good sense of the ball, it also makes it difficult for Quaresma to break through their defence. More often than not, he can only force a cross from the gap. The quality of such a cross can be imagined!

So, he was basically frozen.

In the next game, it was Porto's young midfielder Meireles who performed remarkably.

Not only did he play hard in his short defense, but he even ran to the front from time to time and threatened the door of the Inter Milan team with his long-range shots.

He joined Porto this season, so Mourinho doesn't know him very well.

Therefore, there were no tactics against him either.

However, after several long-range shots in succession, several of Inter's midfield defenders also made voluntary adjustments to strengthen their defense of him on the edge of the penalty area.

Another long-range shooter, Maniche, was set up by Mourinho to defend his surname before the game.

During his time in Porto, he often relied on Maniche to score key long-range shots, and he naturally knew the power of Maniche long-range shots!

In this way, it is basically difficult for Porto to pose much of a threat to Inter Milan in attack.

Although Inter Milan gained a lot of chances, they were unable to change the score again before the end of the first half.

Inter Milan went into the break with a 1-0 lead!

…… In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the Porto team made personnel changes.

Cosiro strengthened the attack with Brazilian striker Fabiano for Bosingva!

In terms of lineup, Porto has a number of well-known stars in the squad this season.

Diego was a Santos duo with Robinho when he was in Brazil. And Fabiano's name was even bigger than Kaka of the same team when he was in Sao Paulo.

It's just that they don't show the same adaptability as Robinho and Kaka after landing in Europe.

Diego was not used to the fierce competition in Europe, and as a result, he suffered a series of injuries. Fabiano, on the other hand, couldn't find a sense of goal in the Porto league. He has only scored two goals so far this season, so it is naturally difficult to earn the trust of the manager.

If it weren't for the fact that the team is behind now, he wouldn't have been able to play at all!

After Fabiano came on the field, he strengthened the offensive of the Porto team to a certain extent.

There were more points of contact in the front court, and there were also sparks between him and Quaresma.

At the beginning of the second half, Quaresma, who suddenly pulled to the middle, received Fabiano's chest back and came with an outside instep shot!

The shot left Toldo unresponsive in front of goal, but the arc was too big and it grazed the far post and went wide.

This also made Quaresma lament the bad luck again!

Fabiano's arrival increased the pressure on Inter's defense, but it also reduced the depth of their midfield.

Inter Milan have made it easier to get through midfield when attacking.

In the 66th minute, Chen Xi, Recoba and Adriano played a wonderful front-court cooperation!

Chen Xi advanced with the ball in the middle and suddenly sent the ball to the feet of Recoba on the left side!

After attracting the defence, Recoba was ready to take advantage of the situation and push the ball to Adriano in the middle.

However, Ricardo Costa's outstretched foot was only to hook the ball back at his feet.

In the face of the bouncing ball, Recoba directly volleyed with his left foot!

The ball sinks hard and flies straight to the far corner!

Unfortunately, Baia made a world-class save to keep the ball out of the line!

As the clock entered the final twenty minutes, the Porto team had to step up their attack.

In this way, there is also more room for Inter Milan to counterattack behind them!

In the seventy-second minute, the Inter Milan team played a wonderful counterattack!

Zanetti made a sliding tackle to cut off Mereles' side of the ball before slotting it to Stankovic in the middle.

Stankovic turned and handed the ball to Recoba, who was retreating!

After receiving the ball, the Uruguayan was also like Chen Xi, advancing along the middle with the ball!

After shaking off Costinha, he sent a scalpel-like through ball towards the right side of the penalty area!

The ball passed through the gap between Emanuel and Valente, Chen Xi inserted it at high speed, and in the face of Recoba's comfortable pass, Chen Xi seemed very relaxed, he did not use the more familiar right foot, but took advantage of the situation with the outside of the left foot to eject!

In the case of almost forming a single knife, Chen Xi took such a difficult way to shoot, I really don't know if he is very relaxed, or if he is bold!

However, Chen Xi's shot was completed very beautifully!

The ball made contact with his left foot and flew towards the goal at breakneck speed!

Even though Baia had already attacked, the ball flew through the inconspicuous gap between him and the near post into the goal behind Baia!

This moment...... The Dragons Stadium fell into a dead silence!
