The old Rebenfica Bright did a qiē that naturally caused great controversy after the game. Although Benfica won, they did not have the slightest joy of winning. Lao Lei used the whole act of reading the newspaper to tell them that the victory you ushered in was thrown down by me with disdain. And the character of Lao Lei will be retribution, which is also a deeper impression on the outside world in this game. At the same time, it also made the outside world a little pitiful for Benfica's experience, a hairy boy, a person who was driven away by themselves, who would have thought that such a combination would bring such a big embarrassment to Benfica.

After the match against Benfica, Porto began to prepare for the Europa League semi-final against Lazio. Lazio, one of the seven sisters of Serie A, have not had a very good time this season. From 1998 to 2000, it was the peak of Lazio, and the three fronts were star-studded and first-class. However, in the 21st century, Blue Eagle has run into financial troubles. The team had to sell star players to maintain itself, and by the 02-03 season, Lazio's squad had lost Nesta, Crespo, and Nedved, and the team couldn't even pay the players' salaries for a while.

It was in this situation that the united Lazios showed unity and fighting spirit and won the half-league title. However, they failed to create a miracle after all, and after losing 1-0 to Reggina in the 18th round of the league, Lazio showed a lack of stamina. Even so, they are still in the top four of the Serie A table, reaching the last four of both the Coppa Italia and Europa League. However, this also made the burden on Lazio not easier after the end of the season. They also need to retain their fourth place in the Champions League for next season. This is only good news for Porto. Because they are facing a Lazio team that needs to be distracted.

After Lao Lei heard Lazio's information, he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for this group of people in his heart. In today's increasingly commercial football. Such loyalty and professionalism are becoming more and more rare. There is no vanity under the fame, this is how Lao Lei felt after watching the video of Lazio's game. Although there is no star-studded feeling in the lineup, there is still a group of strong stars in the team, and their tactics focus on the whole, there is no obvious core, everyone is the core, and everyone can play to their best ability. In Lao Lei's heart, there is a hint of jealousy towards Lazio, which is not an easy opponent to deal with.

But wait for the game to really start. Lao Lei could feel that the other party seemed to be unable to give full play to his strength. Tired, that is, tired, after carefully observing each other, Lao Lei could find that they couldn't hide the exhaustion in their eyes and running. This made Lao Lei feel both fortunate and a trace of pity and regret. Fortunately, Porto's chances of winning have increased greatly, but unfortunately and regrettably, they have met a good opponent, but the opponent is not in shape. But it's a pity, it's a pity, and appreciation is appreciative. When he arrives on the field, Lao Lei will not have any compassion, and will always go all out to fight for victory.

The first leg between the two sides was played at the Stadio Dragons, with Porto fielding their strongest 4-2-3-1 line-up as usual. And Lazio also lined up the strongest lineup they could put out, setting up a 4-4-2 formation. Jose Mourinho was keenly aware of Lazio's fitness problems before the game, so he instructed Lao Lei to speed up the pace as soon as he started. To drag Lazio to death by running. It may feel like a bit of a win, but it's undoubtedly the best strategy right now. Besides, professional football is like this, after grasping the weakness of the opponent, it will fight to the death.

After the start of the match between the two sides. The first is Porto's possession. According to Mourinho's instructions, Lao Lei brought Porto's rhythm to the fastest at the beginning, and did not stabilize for a while as before, and then slowly try to do it. Because compared to Lazio, Porto's biggest advantage is that they are full of energy, which is the advantage of getting out of the league early. Porto's main players, after this period of rest, are all full of body and fierce.

On the sidelines, Lazio's head coach Roberto Mancini knew what Porto were playing after watching the opening. But he could only smile helplessly, this was a conspiracy, even if he knew that there was a dead end ahead, he could only go down. On the field, although Lazio wanted to control the rhythm, slow down and play slowly. It's a pity that Lao Lei and Porto's players will not give them this opportunity, and the fierce and fast pressing again and again makes Lazio have to follow Porto quickly. Although Lazio is a team with good skills in Serie A, they are not good enough to be able to play well under Porto's full pressure.

Throughout the first half, the ball and the transition between attack and defense were very fast. If Lazio can score a goal first, it will undoubtedly be the best situation for them. It's a pity that Porto's active pressing made their offensive impossible to organize at all, and the helpless high-altitude ball hanging in the penalty area was also blocked by Costa and them. And their soul of the season, Argentine worm Lopez, without the strong support of the midfield, his previous flexible and spiritual running position has also disappeared from the field. Kostiani, who was on his side, gave the bug a lot of pressure and blockade. After the bugs that served as lubricating in the front court were restrained, Lazio's attack was like a chariot stuck in a swamp, unable to move and lose its attacking power.

Although Porto did not break Lazio's defense in the first half, Mourinho was still very satisfied, because he saw the deep exhaustion in the eyes of Lazio who came off the field. This will be the biggest reliance that Porto can rely on in the second half, and Mourinho is now glad that the competition in the Portuguese Super League is not as fierce as Italy's, so that Porto, who are also fighting on three lines, will not be as tired as Lazio. In terms of strength, Lazio is definitely not inferior to Porto, and now such a situation can only be said to be predestined.

At halftime, Mourinho did not make any tactical changes, but only let Lao Lei continue the strategy of the first half, and he believed that Lazio would not last long. On the Lazio side, Mancini also had nothing to say, because he didn't have anything to do. Physical disadvantage is impossible to compensate for with tactics. He can only hope that his team can score first, so that there is still a slight chance of victory, and the Italian team behind the lead is the toughest team in the world.

Hope is plump, but reality is often skinny. Porto's defence was very solid and solid and did not give Lazio any chance to take advantage of. All the stars who don't have it, the shortcomings of the team that pays attention to the whole are exposed at this time, that is, when the team is in trouble, no one can stand up and turn the tide. At least in this game, Lazio did not have such a player in the team. By the 61st minute of the second half, Lazio's situation on the pitch was already on the edge of the cliff, and the players' movement was already weak. At this time, Mancini reluctantly began to make substitutions, and then let the team's formation retreat, and he was ready to secure a draw.

However, Porto did not intend to give him such an opportunity, and with a wave of Mourinho's hand on the sidelines, Lao Lei led his teammates to start bombarding Lazio's defense. Although Lao Lei has not had any outstanding performance so far, he is the biggest contributor to the current situation. It was Lao Lei who used his full-court running organization to make Lazio, who originally wanted to keep the draw and win, to speed up with Porto.

In the 67th minute of the second half, the first goal of the game was finally born. Facing Lazio, who was short of body, Lao Lei won the ball in the front court, and after forcing two Lazio defenders in a row with his speed, he used a precise through plug in the middle of the pile to give McCarthy a one-handed chance. McCarthy broke the deadlock with a cool push.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Benny McCarthy!! Calmly pushing and helping the team open the door to victory again. The Lazio players are no longer able to run, and our victory carnival is coming. ”

After that goal, the tired Lazio players still didn't seem to give up hope, and a single goal conceded was not enough to lose the semi-finals. They are still gritting their teeth and facing the bombardment of Porto. Cramps, a number of Lazio players in a row have cramped one after another, but they still stubbornly returned to the pitch and continued to fight.

However, their efforts did not pay off, and Porto's attack continued to break through their defence and score goals. In the 74th minute of the second half, Porto scored again. Deco broke away from the edge of the box before a long-range shot found the back of the door for Lazio again. Porto scored two more goals in succession, the first was in the 80th minute of the second half, McCarthy received a corner kick from Deco, and his header was saved by Lazio goalkeeper Peruzzi.

The second goal occurred in the 88th minute of the second half, when substitute Ivan took a penalty kick from Deke and Chuang Zào, calmly pushed the middle, and deceived Peruzzi to make a contribution. Porto extended the score to 4-0, which could already have allowed them to qualify directly for the Europa League final and a ticket to the Stadio Olimpico in Sevilla.

Lazio's players fought until the last minute but were unable to score a single goal. After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the fighting spirit of the Lazio players finally collapsed. Stankovic, López, and Corradi ............. fell to the ground with a bang, standing speechless, bowing their heads and silent.

At this moment, applause, loud applause, the Porto fans at the Stadio de la Dragons showed their respect for the Lazio players in this way. For warriors and fighters, everyone will have a sense of respect.

On the pitch, Lao Lei and the Porto players did not celebrate the victory, but gave hugs to the Lazio players.

Once again, Lao Lei discovered another thing to love about football. (To be continued......)
