After Ray introduced Kayla to his teammates, he immediately began training. Kayla was allowed to watch by Mourinho, and Ray was afraid that Kayla would be bored, but to his surprise, Kayla looked interested. However, Kayla's interest is only in Old Ray. In addition, even Lao Lei's teammates worked harder and worked harder when they trained. It seems that as long as men are in front of young and beautiful women, no matter what they have to do with themselves, they have to compete with each other and strive to perform better. The effect of the training was a little surprising even for Mourinho, who was supervising and directing on the sidelines.

In the next two days, Lao Lei and Kayla spent a few days in the ordinary but happy world of the two. But soon Mrs. Sharman arrived, and the mother and daughter talked for a long time in the bedroom on the second floor of Lao Lei's house. Old Ray sat uneasily in the downstairs parlor, fearing that Mrs. Saman would resolutely disagree with the two of them, and he knew that she had always been a little dissatisfied and hostile to him. Lao Lei will not break up with Kayla because she disagrees, but if the relationship is not approved by her family, it will be a big harm to Kayla.

Fortunately, the negotiation results of the mother and daughter were good, and although Mrs. Sharman still had some unpleasant expressions, she did not have the obvious look at Lao Lei as before. However, Kayla was taken to Hawaii by her the next day, and the crew's vacation arrived, and she was going back to work. Although Kayla is gone, Lao Lei is still in a good mood, after all, the relationship between him and Kayla has made a big breakthrough.

Lao Lei, who is in a good mood, showed a good form in the next Portuguese Super League. In the seventh round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto host Maritimo. Facing this team in the middle and upper reaches of the Portuguese Super League in recent years. Porto played more easily than expected. In the eighth minute of the first half, Lao Lei helped Porto take the lead at home. Lao Lei formed a tacit understanding with Deco in the frontcourt. I do two two-over-one combinations in a row. Deco had managed to shake off Maritimo's defender after receiving a pass from Ray's heel. You can choose to go straight into the box and give McCarthy, or you can choose to shoot from distance yourself.

However, he only hesitated slightly, and was immediately pulled down by a tactical foul from behind by Maritimo's defender who seized the opportunity. Porto were awarded a free-kick near the line of the penalty area, which was won by the old ray from the feet of Deco. Because in the last round against Sporting Lisbon, he scored a beautiful free kick with the outside instep, which made Lao Lei eager to try the Beckenbauer-style outside instep free kick that he used to swing his leg on the spot in the World Cup.

Although Deco was a free-kick appointed by Mourinho, since the old ray wanted it. Deco, who has a good personality, agreed. The two men stood in front of the ball at the same time, and Deco had to cover for Lao Lei. Although Lao Lei kicked a beautiful and stunning outside instep free kick in the world, but only this once, he never had any performance in the official game. Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Lao Lei's free kick footwork is still in the training stage and has not yet reached the actual combat stage. As for the performance in the World Cup, it was more due to luck. Therefore, Lao Lei's free kick is not within the scope of the opponent's defense. The same can be said of Maritimo whose goalkeeper has fully focused his attention on Deco. Completely ignored Lao Lei.

With the referee's whistle, Lao Lei immediately waved his right foot, but did not touch the football, but swiped over the top of the football. And Maritimo's goalkeeper didn't move. Then Deco came from behind, took a few steps, and came to the front of the football. Get ready to shoot with your feet. Maritimo's goalkeeper looked at it and said it was so. How can you fool me.

But what happened next made him stunned. Deco didn't touch the football either. Instead, Lao Lei, who had been standing on the edge of the football and was ignored by him, waved his right foot for the second time. With a loud bang, the outside instep of the right foot slammed into the football, which flew up and drew a small outer arc, flying over the wall of Maritimo's player platoon, and then flying directly into the near corner of the goal.

Maritimo's goalkeeper didn't react at all and watched as the ball flew into the goal. After seeing the ball scored, Lao Lei's heart was filled with great satisfaction. If anyone who has put in enough effort and is rewarded accordingly, the satisfaction is unknown to outsiders. This is also for some people to eat their own cooked dishes, with the money they earn, they will feel extra happy. Old Ray jumped on the spot excitedly, waving his hands, and from then on he would have another scoring weapon in his arsenal.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Nice, nice outside instep curling ball! What do I see?!! Swing the outside of the leg on the spot, Beckenbauer's missed free-kick. Lei Ma had such a performance on the stage of the World World Cup, but the outside world generally speculated that Lei Ma was just a stroke of luck. But now these speculations can be rolled into the trash. I declare that our Godzilla, already armed with German artillery !! Porto's commentator said excitedly. It's a blessing for a football fan to see a long-lost stunt resurface, especially if it's used by a team that he supports.

On the sidelines, Mourinho was also relieved, looking at Lao Lei who was surrounded by his teammates with joy. He knew that his beloved apprentice had grown up again, and at the same time brought Porto a weapon to break through the dense defense. As Porto shows more and more obvious championship appearance in the new season, more and more teams in the Portuguese Super League have chosen the tactics of defensive counterattack and put on a dense defensive formation when facing Porto. Although Mourinho is confident in his team's attacking prowess, he is also somewhat uneasy in the face of football's permanent problems and dense defense.

Set-pieces are the easiest way to break down this dense defence, and Porto are missing such a free-kick player. Deco's footwork is good, but his free-kicks are not of a very high standard. And now Lao Lei has shown a certain strength in the free kick, there is no doubt about Porto. Porto will have more options in the future on free-kick options and routines. As a result, Porto's threat from set-pieces will increase somewhat. In addition to scoring goals, it can also make the opponent restrain in terms of fouls. It is also a good thing for Porto to fight positionally and penetrate dense defensive lines. And that's one of the reasons why Mourinho is so happy.

And this kind of utility has been initially reflected in this game. Maritimo's players defended in a threatening place like the penalty area, looking timid and less decisive than before. Lao Lei's free-kick played a threatening role. In fact, as far as Lao Lei's current free kick footwork is concerned, it is difficult to score another free kick like that just now in the same game. But the Maritimo players also speculated that Lao Lei's skill should have just been achieved, in terms of stability and control. It's not good, otherwise it wouldn't have been played against them. But they just didn't dare to give Lao Lei another chance. Some things are like this, as long as they make a start, for Mo people, they may enter a vicious circle that can never be solved.

And Maritimo's timidity gave Porto another chance to strike at it in the 38th minute of the first half. In this game, Lao Lei was in a good mood and seemed very active, and frequently stepped forward to assist. This time he combined with Deco and Maniche up front. Three people were at the front of the penalty area in Maritimo. Form a continuous short pass coordination. Then Lao Lei suddenly dribbled the ball to pull the side, and Maniche also tacitly inserted diagonally into the middle of the penalty area. Lao Ray's deft pick and pass passed through the gap between the two Maritimo players and came exactly before Maniche's running route.

Maniche flicked the outside of his left foot. Run straight to the baseline defense line with the football. Then near the baseline, before the Maritimo defender's sliding tackle came over, swept the ball towards the goal. The route was well chosen. Between the Maritimo goalkeeper and the defenders, they did not dare to touch easily. Handle this ball. In the middle lane, McCarthy relied on his explosive power and stepped forward alertly. However, a tackle shot that fell directly to the ground sent the football into Maritimo's goal for the second time. With this goal, Porto ended the first half with a 2-0 lead at home to Maritimo.

After the start of the second half, the manager of Maritimo made a move, but it did not play a significant role, and the situation was under the control of Lao Lei and Porto. In the 66th minute of the second half, Maritimo finally couldn't help it, and after substitutions, he sent out a three-striker formation and launched a fierce attack on Porto. And in the 74th minute of the second half, Maritimo's courage finally achieved a result. With a chance to break the ball on the spot in front of the court, it was their striker who scored a beautiful header to pull a goal back and change the score to 2:1.

After the goal, Maritimo was more aggressive, launching a more fierce attack on the offensive end. And when their centre-backs are around the centre circle, it's easy to imagine how much space is left behind them for Porto to counter-attack. In the 86th minute, Lao Lei used a pre-judgment defense to know Maritimo's passing route in advance, and waited for the opportunity to cut off the through ball sent by their midfielder. Then he kicked the ball towards Maritimo's half, and this time it was Alenichev's turn to show time for the fastest Porto player in old Lei's normal situation.

He used his pace to shake off all Maritimo's defenders and get a one-on-one chance. After dribbling past Maritimo's goalkeeper with a feint, he easily scored the ball in the face of an empty goal. And the score of 3:1 also helped Porto seal the victory of this game. Porto fans, once again ushered in a victory at home.

After the game, Porto won all 7 games and accumulated 21 points, ranking at the top of the table.

Listening to the happy cheers of the fans, Lao Lei couldn't laugh at this time.

Because he thought about the opponent in the next league game.

He will return to Leiria, to the place where his dream began, wearing the Porto shirt and facing his old master. (To be continued......)
