Chapter 113 Challenging Greatness

The crazy performance of the Porto players made the Bernabeu fall into a brief silence. Although there were also insults and counterattacks from the fans, those guys who had already entered the locker room would not care about these. Making the opponent unhappy was their greatest wish.

The on-site report of AS had already used all the language they could imagine to criticize the provocative behavior of the Porto players.

"A group of barbarians", "uneducated opponents", "Another group of Catalans taught by Barcelona's translators!"

But these accusations could not change the fact that the boos of the Madrid players at the Bernabeu had been trampled under the feet of the barbarians.

Refutation, abuse, these actions can only make these Spaniards more depressed, because the opponents don't care about their various threats and intimidation.

However, the crazy roar and fearless wildness of the Porto players made Queiroz, who was directing the Real Madrid players to warm up on the sidelines, feel a little uneasy.

If he could choose the game time, Queiroz would not want to meet the crazy people of Porto at this time, especially since Real Madrid has lost two games in the league recently. He does not want to fight with a group of crazy people.

Losing to Deportivo La Coruna has pushed Queiroz to the edge of the cliff of dismissal, but in the derby in Madrid, they were sneaked by Atletico Madrid before the end of the game. This embarrassing defeat may have completely exhausted Florentino's patience.

Maybe now Florentino began to miss the old coach Box who was expelled from Real Madrid. At least that kind old man would not let Real Madrid fall into a bitter struggle in the two-line battle. Florentino is really worried that Real Madrid will be empty-handed this season.

The names of coaches who can be associated with Real Madrid are beginning to appear in the newspapers. From Capello to Lippi, the names of world-famous coaches are constantly tied to the future of the Galaxy Battleship. At this time, no one cares about what Queiroz is thinking.

Queiroz has heard more and more calls for dismissal. The Galacticos he led has reached a point where no one can tolerate it anymore.

Ranked fourth in the league, 8 points behind the top, Real Madrid can only desperately chase after Deportivo La Coruna and its arch-rival Barcelona, ​​not to mention Valencia, which is still at the top of the standings.

Although the Real Madrid team is still very harmonious and there is no news of any infighting in the locker room, Queiroz can feel that his control is declining.

This is the helplessness of being a coach in a wealthy club, especially for someone like Queiroz, who does not have any particularly strong club honors, which can't suppress the many big names in the team all the time. For a team like Real Madrid, there are not many other things, but there are a lot of big names.

Now Queiroz not only has to consider the problem of results, but also how to adjust the playing time of the six superstars, which gives him a headache.

Not only is the recent sluggish state of Real Madrid making Queiroz feel uneasy at the moment, he is more worried about Real Madrid's poor defense.

Now we can only use the word "full of holes" to describe the Real Madrid team's defenders this season. In the past, there were still Carlos and Salgado who could support the back. Although their assists were basically suicidal charges, they were still useful.

But when these two guys were completely rested due to thigh strains, Queiroz was a little crazy. He began to miss the time when these two guys were on the court, even if they had caused trouble for Casillas like a sieve.

After all, Carlos and Salgado still have their own skills. Look at Pavón, Bravo and the unlucky guys sitting on the bench. Queiroz now has a black line on his forehead. It's really worse than one group. This is the current situation of the Real Madrid team's defenders.

The defense can't be kept up, and the offense can't be topped up. This is the embarrassment that the Real Madrid team's back line must face now, and there is no solution yet.

This is a football war where even a draw is unacceptable to the people of Madrid. Queiroz no longer cares about how many goals his defenders will lose. He can only beg his forwards to score one more goal than the opponent.

Otherwise, he is ready to pack up and leave Madrid after the game. Florentino will definitely not keep him.

Now Queiroz can only force a novice Ruben into his back line, and Elguera is also pulled back from the midfield to be a defender.

Although the central defenders Pavon and Bravo still look so unreliable, Queiroz can't find a suitable replacement now.

Such a back line is enough to make Queiroz tremble. He only hopes that this defense line will not be broken by the opponent at the Bernabeu.

In the position of the defensive midfielder, he can only rely on Beckham's dedication to make up for the shortcomings in defense, but how many times can his strength alone save the crisis? Queiroz has no idea in his mind, so he can only gamble like this.

Zidane, Figo and Solari are lined up on the forward line. A diamond midfield may be the way to maximize the French's power at this time. Queiroz can only pray that the French who have been fighting continuously will not have any problems at this time.

Real Madrid threw its two sharpest guys on the field in the forward line. It is unknown whether the combination of Ronaldo and Raul can successfully tear apart the defense of Porto.

The only one Queiroz does not have to worry about is Casillas. Whether he can withstand the attack of Porto depends on this magical goalkeeper. I really don’t know whether this is Casillas’s luck or sorrow.

Compared with Queiroz’s painstaking efforts, Mourinho seems very relaxed at this time. Winning the game, tying the opponent, or losing this match, it makes no difference to him. Now he and Porto have no pressure at all, and any result is the same for him.

Anyway, he has been forced to this point by the opponent, and he has nothing to regret. As long as it is not a big defeat, he can accept it.

4-5-1 formation, without any pressure, Mourinho has decided to use this game to sharpen the sharp blade in his hand.

Lin Yi and Deco's double front midfielder tactics were used for the first time in front of a traditional giant. This is what Mourinho wants to verify the most. Conquering Marseille is just the beginning. This tactic that allows the offense to be more free must find the sharp feeling that Porto needs most in front of such a strong team.

"I give you absolute freedom on the field. You two can switch positions at will. Whoever organizes or attacks, it's all fine. Anyway, there is only one goal, which is to tear open the opponent's defense. You two decide what method to use."

On the forward line, Mourinho chose Dalrey. The recent continuous battles made McCarthy's muscles a little tired. In the absence of the need to fight desperately, Mourinho chose the safest way. For him, the knockout round is the time to fight for his life.

This is a game about honor, but it is not worth it for Mourinho to use the players' bodies to make a gamble with unknown consequences.

Maniche, Bosingwa, Costinha, Mourinho's personnel combination makes Porto's midfield more flexible, and they can attack or defend.

There was no change in the defense line, except that the center back was replaced by the old captain Jorge Costa, which would make the Madrid players feel more uncomfortable when attacking.

"Get ready to play. After 90 minutes, I will accept the boos from the whole stadium with you on the sidelines. I hope that at that time, everyone on the opponent's face will be full of frustration. Just like you said, we will conquer the Bernabeu with our own feet!"

When Mourinho finished speaking, he had already opened the door of the locker room. He was also the first person to enter the player's tunnel.

22 people from the two teams filed out of the player's tunnel, and they were greeted by applause on one side and boos on the other. The Madrid players treated the "guests" from afar with a clear attitude, while those Porto players held their heads high to accept such boos.

Even when the players shook hands with each other to show friendship, the expressions on the faces of the Real Madrid superstars seemed a little serious.

Especially when these people passed by Lin Yi, people like Elgra and Paven looked at the black-haired little guy with a bit of hostility. They knew that all these wars were because of this little guy. In this game, they would not let him become the protagonist.

Lin Yi didn't have time to care about what kind of information these people's eyes revealed. His eyes were only on one person from beginning to end. When the Frenchman came to him, Lin Yi whispered to him.

"I said that I would come here to decide the winner. I hope that what awaits us today is not a draw. I guess you mean the same thing."

Zidane was a little stunned when he saw the smile on the face of the little guy in front of him. He didn't expect that this kid still remembered the agreement in Porto.

But soon Zidane returned to normal. The moment he passed by Lin Yi, he also gave his response.

"Real Madrid is the owner of the Bernabeu. I will entertain your team here, but the way to entertain is with goals."

"Then let's see whose knife is sharper. See you in 90 minutes." Lin Yi said to Zidane when he turned and left.

This is Lin Yi's duel. This kid has prepared his weapons. The 90-minute war will start when the whistle sounds.

Take a deep breath and look up at the sky. There is only one voice in Lin Yi's heart, "This will be my stage..."

Sometimes, you have to try to challenge greatness, because you may be on the road to greatness. . .

(Second update, I will try to update the game process in succession. If allowed in the next few days, I will try to update more. Hey, the NBA is very lively recently. Jordan, Kobe, James, debate, it seems that there is another topic, who is the greatest player in history... I guess there is no end to this topic. Time will always eliminate batches of people, and the former greatness will become dust, but this season's NBA can be lively, haha.)
