As expected, after the refereeing incident with Tondela, the attitude of the Portuguese Football Association was much more polite.

Not only did he not trouble Gao Yuan and Maritimo in the subsequent games, but even the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Fernando Gomez, personally inspected the Maritimo club, fully affirmed the construction and development of the club, and highly praised the great support of Chinese capital for the team.

His intention to show favor is like Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known to passers-by

And the change in the official attitude of the Football Association has also made Mendes stop a lot. It can't be blocked and blocked, and it can't be contained, and now even the officials are on Maritimo's side, even if it's Mendes, they can only stare dryly.

After all, Mendez is just a businessman.

Soon, the league reached the 17th round, which is the last round of the first half of the league.

Maritimo will be away from home to challenge the strongest opponent in the league, Porto, who is also the big brother in the "Portuguese Super League Three".

This round of the competition is also a contest between the first and second places in the current league standings.

In the previous 16 rounds, Maritimo won 14 and drew 2, accumulating 44 points; Porto 13 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, total 41 points.

In this game, as long as Maritimo can get 1 point, he will be able to secure the halfway championship.

Since the establishment of the Portuguese Super League in 2002, there have only been two seasons of half-way championships, and they have not won the final league championship of the year.

In other words, the half-marathon championship is an indicator of the championship of the season

In the mainstream European leagues this season, only the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich and the French giants Paris Saint-Germain, together with Maritimo for the time being, have not tasted defeat for the time being.

As for Maritimo's all-time unbeaten record, it was broken in the 9th round long ago, and now every round is breaking the record.

For the Portuguese league, it is a battle between the upstarts and the old kings, and it is also an important battle that will determine the title of the champion.

This battle touched the hearts of fans in Portugal and China.

Chinese fans have long regarded Maritimo, which is led by Chinese, as the home team. The degree of popularity in China even exceeds that of the rockets of Yao Ming's era. After all, there was only one Yao Ming in the rocket at that time, and the current Maritimo investor is Chinese, the coach is Chinese, the manager is Chinese, and the core players are also Chinese

Some domestic media jokingly said that Maritimo simply changed its name to "Chinese Team".

Especially some time ago, the turmoil stirred up by Gao Yuan's own hands has a strong ZZ meaning and ideological color. In the wave of opposition to unilateralism and hegemonism, Maritimo has become a pioneer in cultural export, a cultural symbol with a strong Chinese imprint. Nowadays, when many people talk about Chinese football, the first thing that comes to mind is Maritimo, Portugal's century-old club

At every Maritimo game, there are countless Chinese fans and spectators waiting in front of the TV; Every victory in Maritimo elicits cheers and applause from the ancient nations across the ocean

And these concerns have also brought a huge amount of prestige to Gao Yuan, and after the previous turmoil, Gao Yuan's reputation has almost skyrocketed exponentially. The "nuclear weapons modifier", which was originally thought to be out of reach, has now become a realistic goal that is likely to be achieved

But the more this is the case, the more Gao Yuan dares to spend reputation points casually. Like a miser, he carefully calculates the cost of each reputation and does not waste a little more than what is necessary to keep the players fit.

So much so that in addition to the league against Benfica, there was another draw, and he was not willing to use his prestige value.

In this game against Porto, he doesn't plan to use his prestige value, he wants to use his ability to lead the team to win

The outside world is very hyped about the finale of the first half of this league.

After Maritimo drew with Benfica, Porto coach Conceição's bizarre remarks, as well as Gao Yuan's relentless counterattack.

This wave of verbal battles has added a lot of gimmicks to this game and brought a lot of traffic.

The highly-anticipated battle will take place at the Stade d'Longos, one of Europe's most famous stadiums and home stadium of Porto.

FC Porto, is one of the most successful clubs in the history of Portuguese football.

Whether it is the number of titles, or the historical status, or even the prestige of the coach and stars, Porto is a well-deserved No1 in the Portuguese Super League.

Although the "top three in the Portuguese Super League" is recognized as a strong team in international football, the people of Porto do not agree with this statement, how can there be any Portuguese Super League top three but one super two strong

The first super league is Porto, in the eyes of Porto fans, they are not at the same level as ordinary strong teams such as Benfica and Atletico Portugal

Founded in 1893, FC Porto has a strong record and won its first two Portuguese Serie A titles. In the following decades, although it was once suppressed by Benfica and Sporting de Portugal, by the end of the 80s of the last century, the Portuguese league became the world of Porto, sweeping 28 league titles, 16 Portuguese Cup titles, and 20 Portuguese Super Cup titles.

In Europe, they also won the Champions League twice, unlike Benfica's "ancestors" who were "grandfathered" and declining aristocrats, Porto's two Champions League titles, one was in 1987, defeating Bayern Munich to win the championship; The other is that during 20032004, he first won the Europa League and then the Champions League, and the person who led the team to win the championship was the famous "madman" Jose Mourinho

And in that Porto team, Maritimo's current goalkeeper coach legendary goalkeeper Baia became the 11th player in Europe to win all the European titles

Compared with the other two giants of the Portuguese Super League, although Porto also has many shining stars in the history of the team, what makes people talk about it more is that it is a hotbed of world famous coaches.

Bobby Robson, Jose Mourinho and Villas Villasboas, all of whom deserve to be written about in the history of football coaching, have all left a glorious resume in this team.

And now, Gao Yuan, the coach from the football desert country, is about to come to the great Dragon Stadium to challenge Porto, which has bred countless famous coaches

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and the famous coach in the football world does not ask where he comes from

The Dragon Stadium is about to witness the take-off of an oriental dragon
