Chapter 104 French Trouble

Perhaps before arriving at the Dragon Stadium, Marseille Club President Boucher had not considered how embarrassing his situation would be in Porto. He was even a little embarrassed to shake hands with Da Costa beside him after the 90-minute game.

4:1, the bright red numbers flashing on the big screen deeply stimulated Boucher's nerves. He really hoped that all this was just a nightmare.

You know, just two days ago, when Marseille led the team to Porto, this guy still faced the camera of the reporter's interview and vowed that they would definitely win the game away and would attack the second round of the knockout stage with two consecutive wins.

Maybe the 3:0 victory over Belgrade Partisan at home gave Boucher and Marseille too much courage. The reality of having the same 4 points as Real Madrid also made these French complacently think that they could get out of the group stage very smoothly.

But the French seemed to have forgotten who was the culprit for Real Madrid's failure to win two games. It was the tough Porto team that successfully stopped Real Madrid's progress.

Maybe the French deliberately ignored all this, or maybe they thought they had the ability to win away from home. At least before the game started, they definitely didn't expect that this would be the outcome after the 90-minute game.

Otherwise, Boucher wouldn't have followed Marseille's charter plane to Porto, but he unfortunately met a group of lunatics. Those Portuguese never knew that those who came from afar were guests.

The only thing Mourinho and his Porto team could do to Marseille was the crazy attack and the deafening shouts of the fans, as well as two sharp knives that could take people's lives. The combination of Lin Yi and Deco stabbed four times in total, and each knife was fatal.

Reality has mercilessly awakened these French people. Second round? Forget it, let's think about how to play the next round.

If they were beaten so miserably by their opponents at the Velodrome Stadium, even the most elegant French fans would start cursing.

Perhaps what Boucher should consider now is whether Marseille will be surrounded by tomatoes and rotten eggs at the airport when they charter a plane back home.

Now not only Boucher is embarrassed and helpless at this time, but even the players of Marseille who fought for 90 minutes on the field hope that all this is just a nightmare from which they can't wake up.

But the crazy shouts of tens of thousands of people in the Dragon Stadium have long broken their pitiful idea.

This is not a nightmare, this is the real score, the real game, they lost, and they were pressed on the grass by those Portuguese and severely taught a lesson. Those four goals were like four heart-breaking kicks, all of which kicked them in the heart.

The opponent even locked the damn score at 3:0 before the end of the first half. If Porto hadn't relaxed its offensive nerve in the second half, perhaps the final score would be more than that, and Marseille might have lost even more miserably.

The African elephant was the only one in Marseille who never gave up the game. He also scored a goal in a standard center forward way before the end of the game.

With his fierce impact and powerful header, Drogba defended the honor of Marseille and himself with his own efforts. However, compared with him, his teammates had given up the possibility of winning the game before the end of the first half.

"If possible, maybe we should really buy that guy from Marseille. A guy who doesn't know how to admit defeat is very helpful to the team. If Marseille was not also in Ligue 1, maybe I would have bought him this summer."

When Mourinho looked at the dark and strong Drogba, he exchanged opinions with Brito beside him. It can be seen that Mourinho is still brooding over the loss of Drogba a few months ago. In his opinion, the people of Marseille really don't know how to use this black diamond.

If such a black iron tower is placed on the front line of the Porto team, then the attack of the Porto team may have a more three-dimensional feeling, and it will have an absolute initiative in occupying space, and Lin Yi and Deco will have more room for activities, but now all this is just empty talk.

"Okay, Jose, this guy is now sold for at least 18 million euros in the transfer market. Unless we can sell Deco or Lin Yi, otherwise, Da Costa will never pay so much transfer fee just for a striker."

Britto is telling the truth. You know, when Porto and Marseille were bidding a few months ago, the transfer fee of the Ivorian was only a few million euros. Now the value of this French Ligue 1 black diamond has at least doubled.

"Alas, that damn inflation." When Brito said this, he seemed to have forgotten that many clubs have offered more than 10 million euros for Lin Yi, and the crazy prelude in the football transfer market has just begun.

Drogba's efforts alone could not save the entire team. Although he took six shots and scored one goal in the whole game, Marseille only had nine shots in the whole game. Deco's free kick before the end of the first half had destroyed Marseille's confidence.

This damn free kick was caused by Van Buyten's foul on Lin Yi. The reckless Belgian was completely enraged by the little guy showing off his personal skills in front of him. A fierce tackle not only earned him a yellow card.

It also gave Deco a good free kick opportunity at the top of the penalty area. The fatal arc of the Brazilian's arched foot once again destroyed the fragile heart of Marseille goalkeeper Ruger. Maybe this unlucky guy really needs psychological treatment after the game.

This damn game has made him the most depressed person on the field. Even a French reporter asked Ruger after the game if the bald goalkeeper Barthes really landed in Marseille in a week. Does it mean that he is about to lose his position as the main goalkeeper.

Maybe this double blow will really make this poor guy collapse, and all of this is the nightmare brought to him by the Porto team, especially the black-haired kid. If it weren't for his ghost pass, there might not be such an embarrassing score.

During the halftime break, the Marseille players finally accumulated the courage to counterattack, but less than two minutes into the second half, Lin Yi's through ball completely defeated it. Dallei also successfully performed a hat trick because of this pass.

While watching the Brazilian running all over the field to celebrate his crazy performance, Drogba could only stand in the midfield depressed. Compared with the lucky guy, no one gave him any support behind the Ivorian, and he was accompanied by only helpless loneliness.

Lin Yi was substituted with 15 minutes left in the game. He contributed two assists and created a free kick in the whole game. The opponent's defense line also carried three yellow cards because of him. Among them, Van Buyten, the tragic guy, will face suspension in the next game.

The double-knife combination between Deco and Lin Yi has completely conquered the fans of the Porto team. Now no one doubts Mourinho's change of formation, and no one doubts that the black-haired kid can make the team's offense stronger and more penetrating.

The moment Lin Yi left the field, cheers and shouts that were almost worshipful resounded throughout the Dragon Stadium. This kid has become a well-deserved core.

At least now no one doubts that this kid can bring Porto not only goals, but also endless inspiration.

Facing the cheers of the fans, Lin Yi was not so excited. He just bowed politely to the fans around him one by one as a response.

Only Lin Yi himself knew that this was just his first step on the Champions League field. He wanted to win more, not only applause, but also honor.

"The feeling of starting is really intoxicating." Lin Yi smiled slightly as he stood on the sidelines and accepted the worship of tens of thousands of people.

"I hope that uncle didn't make a crazy decision on a whim. That damn bench should stay away from his butt." Lin Yi may have to pray for this only now. The cheers and shouts made him begin to miss the smell of the grass.

"I miscalculated the troubles we were going to face. We lost our usual rhythm of the game. I also underestimated the young man who could break through the Real Madrid goal. My team paid a heavy price for this." Marseille's head coach said to the reporters who came to interview after the game.

It can be seen that the French are still frightened by Lin Yi's two ghostly passes and his performance of passing through people like a thorn. The fatal pain brought by this game is enough to make them understand what is unforgettable pain.

Perhaps the people who should be dismissed by the furious Boucher now are the group of idiots responsible for collecting intelligence. It was their judgment that Marseille only made corresponding arrangements for Deco before the game started, and the black-haired boy had been forgotten by them in the garbage dump.

But the guy who poked them the most was the boy they thought would never play. Assists, shots, passes, the boy used all-round personal care to punish those who forgot him.

After successfully defeating Marseille, Porto has replaced its opponent in the standings. With one win and two draws in three games, they have accumulated five points. Porto has launched an attack on the knockout stage with an unbeaten record. Perhaps now the French will realize how much trouble this defeat has brought.

And this kind of trouble may happen again at the Velodrome Stadium in two weeks. . .

A few hours later, there is another trouble waiting for them. . . And Porto is also involved in it. . .

(Second update... Several people asked me about the fight between the men's basketball team yesterday. In fact, I said that fighting is okay, at least it is better than being dead. There are still fights in the NBA. In fact, fighting or not fighting is a problem. If you don't fight, people will say you have no backbone and are afraid of foreigners. If you fight, people will say you have no grace. Anyway, you have fought. If you are afraid of claws, I will say secretly... Beat you.)
