I can increase the scoring rate in football

In modern football, every mature league will have at least one "derby".

According to rumors, the word "derby" originally only described the horse racing in Derbyshire, England. The locals described the "race between horses from Derbyshire" as a derby battle.

Later, the British people extended it to other sports fields, such as fierce competitions between two teams from the same city.

The two Derby teams started out because of some real-life conflicts, and eventually developed into using football to resolve the dispute.

Even if this "contradiction" does not arise in reality, in the long league, the two Derby teams will have more or less conflicts.

In short, "contradiction" or "grievance" has become the bond between Derby.

For example, the Milan Derby in Serie A, the Double Red Club in the Premier League, etc.

But what if the conflicts are not so intense and the grudges are not so deep?

In the field of Jinyuan football, people will spontaneously "kidnap" the two most successful teams in the league together and call them "El Clasico".

Porto and Benfica are actually the products of this situation.

In fact, before the 1990s, Benfica was the big brother of the Portuguese Super League, winning far more league titles than Porto and Sporting Lisbon.

Even in the 1960s, there were great superstars like "Black Panther" Eusebio, who reached the Champions League finals many times and won the championship twice.

but now...

"Haha, is that guy the 'clown'? He really looks like a clown!"

Everyone on the Porto bench looked relaxed.

Although it is a Portuguese national derby, it is obviously difficult for Benfica to compete with Porto this season.

In fact, Benfica's business philosophy makes it difficult for it to become a real giant.

Porto is a famous "black shop" in Europe, and that's because they really spend a lot of effort on buying and selling and discovering new stars.

But Benfica is like an unpretentious agency, or a transit station.

Those young and energetic rookies can use this club as a stepping stone to rush to the five major leagues; it can also allow those outdated superstars to make a good transition when they retreat to the second or even third tier.

In short, Benfica's captain changes almost every year, and the conditions for becoming captain are also very simple, that is, based on the length of service.

Even so, there are still many players who give up this title and leave here after playing in a hurry for two or three seasons.

If a team makes major changes every season, it is destined to fail to reach higher glory.

Therefore, if Benfica wants to win the Portuguese Super League championship, they can only wait for Porto to perform poorly in a certain season.

Last season, Porto gave up the Portuguese Super League championship; this season, Benfica is basically out of the question.

"I dare say that Lei's extraordinary skills are better than his!"

"Lei, do you think so?"

Everyone in Porto was laughing and joking, not as nervous as a derby match at all.

The "clown" everyone calls him is a player from Benfica.

Of course, calling him a clown is not to slander him, but his nickname is really "Clown".

Pablo Aimar, former World Youth Championship champion.

We call him clown because his dribbling and ball control are pleasing to the eye, just like the clown dancing the gorgeous tango steps in the opera house.

Aimar, who has "retired" from the five major leagues after playing for Valencia and Real Zaragoza, is 31 years old this year.

Although he is still Benfica's main striker, it is difficult for him to replicate the dexterous dance moves he once had.

On the court, Aimar always hesitates when controlling the ball, seeming to be debating whether to pass or dribble.

But just by thinking about it, the opportunity had already disappeared, causing Benfica's frontcourt attack to be extremely awkward.

The teammates were laughing and joking, but Lei Yu didn't respond.

In his view, ridiculing a struggling veteran is a despicable act.

Everyone gets old one day. A new generation replaces an old one. Age should not be an excuse to be laughed at.

Under the impact of Porto, Benfica, playing at home, was crumbling.

Less than 12 minutes into the game, Hulk assisted Varela to score the first goal, helping Porto lead 1-0 away from home.

The leading score and advantageous situation made Porto's bench extremely relaxed.

Almost everyone thinks that this trip to Lisbon is a public trip.

Seeing his own attack failing 30 meters in front of Porto's goal again and again, Benfica head coach Jorge actually replaced a starting player at the 37th minute of the first half.

Seeing this signal, Villas-Boas on the sidelines chuckled confidently: "The old guy can't stand it anymore!"

What Hoher replaced is also a forward, and he is also a World Youth Championship champion.

He is none other than Aimar's national team teammate and friend, Rabbit Saviola, the guy known as "Maradona II" who almost replaced Messi.

Of course, the title "Maradona II" no longer belongs to him.

Like Maradona, Saviola's first stop in Europe was Barcelona.

For this Argentinian who just scored 11 goals and won the Golden Boot in the World Youth Championship, Barcelona is cultivating him as its main force.

But due to his acclimatization, Saviola was loaned out after just three seasons.

During this period, he moved to 3 clubs and even joined Real Madrid, but in the end he was not kicked out.

Now, the 29-year-old Saviola can only come to Benfica to join his friends and help the club play out his last remaining enthusiasm.

In the 44th minute, Saviola forced a breakthrough in front of the Porto penalty area and used a falling foul to help Benfica get a well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt.

Seeing Saviola sitting on the court for a long time before reluctantly getting up, those die-hard fans who knew his past were all moved.

"Rabbit is too hard-working!"

"You're still working so hard at this age, come on!"

Amid waves of cheers from the fans, Saviola made a fake running screen for Aimar. The ball was kicked out by the latter and flew directly over the wall into the net.

1 to 1!

Seeing that the score was tied, the Stadium of Light instantly erupted into a huge cheer.

Looking at the excited fans around them, Saviola and Aimar hugged each other excitedly, as if they had returned to the era dominated by them.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the halftime break with a tie.

"Tch, you're so lucky, this can even make him equalize!"

Villas-Boas curled his lips and walked in the tunnel with a dissatisfied look on his face.

He doesn't have any "veteran sentiment".

He was unable to open up the score even though he had 67% of the ball, which only shows his incompetence as a coach!

"Lei, don't go back to the locker room, warm up outside!"

"Boss, there is no Chinese derby in this game! Do you really want me to play half-time?" Lei Yu joked.

"I told you to warm up just as long as you want. Why is there so much nonsense!"

Boas was obviously still angry. Looking at Falcao, Hulk and others who had just left the field beside him, Boas couldn't help but complain:

"Laugh, why are you laughing?"

"You guys who are going up the mountain, can't you beat the ones who are going down the mountain?"
