Midfielder

A game may determine the fate of a player. A game can make you reach a peak that you dare not even think about.

Lin Yi is now at this stage. Porto and Boavista have entered the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup together, which is a rare glory for Portuguese clubs in recent years. Lin Yi, who created Porto's 6:0 strong counterattack, will naturally be in the limelight in the newspapers.

"Powerful reversal!", "Porto's revenge!", "Magical mixed-race boy!" Such titles have become commonplace in the past few days.

Some people have even begun to say that another golden age of Portugal has arrived, and the leader will be the new generation represented by Lin Yi.

Even Lin Yi has a headache when he sees this title. He knows very well what he can do. He is definitely not as powerful as these guys boast.

Even after that game, he is still the youngest in the Porto team. He still has to train hard every day.

No one, including Brito and Mourinho, treated him as a star. As long as he was lazy, the punishment was still cruel.

No matter how fierce the outside world's praise was, at least under Mourinho's eyes, Lin Yi was still the little guy from the youth team.

Lin Yi still had a lot to learn. Mourinho even added some training to Lin Yi one day after the game. He needed this kid to clearly realize what he was still missing.

"Don't think of yourself as a star. Your current task is to train yourself well, not to think about how to communicate with the media every day!" Mourinho said after seeing Lin Yi being interviewed outside the training ground.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm not that stupid. I know what they want to do." Lin Yi knew it himself, and he was not dizzy yet.

The photo of the man was still in the necklace on his neck. The guy was once the glory of a city. He was successful and received cheers from tens of thousands of people. But when he was sinking, except for his mother by his side, those reporters and media had already left.

No one will pay attention to a waste, so Lin Yi knows very well what the media attention means. It is shit. It is a passing cloud and you can see some water vapor. It is a fart. It has no other effect except making you feel sick after smelling it.

It is undeniable that this is an era where it is too easy to become famous. Mendes even gave such an example to Lin Yi. Suppose in the five major leagues in Europe, an unknown rookie scored a very beautiful goal, or he overturned a super team with a goal.

Then only TV and newspapers will immediately start their propaganda machine. In just a few hours, the value of this rookie can be multiplied by hundreds of times. This is not a dream, this is the reality in the current football world. Now the road to fame does not need to fight, but only needs to be built.

You no longer need to rely on various honors to embolden yourself. As long as you show fascinating abilities in one or two games, the power of the media will make you a star of tomorrow, or the next Maradona and Pele.

As for what you can become in the future, no one cares. The media and reporters only care whether they can get more salary this month because of this news. As for your future life and death? Please, when you have no news value, who will care what you have done.

As long as the media think so, everything is possible. This is the impetuous world. Honor and tradition have gradually become outdated.

Although Lin Yi still has to get up from his bed in the dormitory every morning and roll to the training ground to support Mourinho's shouting, he has begun to become a darling of the city of Porto. More and more people are crazy about him, especially... those aunts...

Lin Yi became famous in one battle. Who is the most depressed person now? It must be Villariño, because he only made 100,000 euros from this kid.

If he could be more generous and offer a decent contract, even if he didn't like this black-haired little guy, he could be a money counting machine there to count the proceeds from selling Lin Yi, instead of sitting here depressed like now.

Not only this reason makes Villariño melancholy, but now many newspapers are looking back at the photo of Lin Yi giving him the middle finger, and the grievances between the two people have begun to be put on the table and talked about.

Now many media have begun to expose the details of Benfica's refusal to give Lin Yi a contract. Even some people inside Benfica have begun to accept anonymous interviews. They even said that Villariño wanted to ban Lin Yi.

This made Villariño very passive. After all, if he treated a team's rising star like this, he might attract more Benfica fans to attack him, and even make the management full of various criticisms.

One is a 15-year-old boy, and the other is a club politician who is over 50 years old. Fans are definitely more emotionally inclined to the players themselves, especially Lin Yi is still a child in the eyes of many people, which makes Villariño even more passive.

Those aunts who feel the most sorry for Lin Yi have begun to refute Villariño's idiotic behavior through various channels. In their view, bullying a little boy is such an evil behavior that it must be resolutely cracked down.

"That boy's face is really taking advantage." Mendes wiped the sweat from his forehead when he saw the women's delegation so excited.

The opposition of the fans is not the most troublesome thing for Villariño now. Anyway, this kind of protest will not make him lose his job immediately. What he is most worried about now is the team's performance, which is the answer sheet to test the ability of a chairman.

The most troublesome thing now is not that Lin Yi and Mourinho have achieved success in Porto, but the final battle that is about to come, that is the war between Benfica and Porto, which may determine who the final winner is.

There are only two rounds left in the league. The gap between Porto and Benfica is only one point. Their last opponent is very weak. It can be said that the result of the last round of the game is already determined. The 3 points are basically in the bag and will not run out of their hands at all.

But the most crucial battle is the direct collision between the two teams in the penultimate round. Whoever can defeat the opponent may have locked the final championship. Now, whether it is Porto or Benfica, they can't afford to lose this battle.

Porto is now lagging behind, and it must win to surpass the other teams in the standings, but Benfica can choose to keep a draw. It only needs a draw to keep its first place. As for the final league title, it is within reach.

Moreover, the last game is on the opponent's territory. They can choose to defend and counterattack in the Dragon Stadium to gain a point. As long as the league title is not lost, Villariño believes that the team can give up the so-called dignity.

His appointed coach Tony is not prepared to do so. He even responded by attacking with all his strength in the previous league game. He needs to win the game with offense, instead of preparing to welcome a draw with an iron bucket formation.

Tony wants to prove that he is better than Mourinho, so he can't shrink in front of the opponent, and Benfica's glory will not allow them to do so. This may be the first time Tony confronts Villariño head-on in adjusting the lineup.

As a dignified coach, he hopes that the team can kill the opponent on the field, instead of relying on defending to win a point to ensure the championship.

Yes, the championship is a symbol of a coach's ability, but from the day Tony took over Benfica, what he did most was not to lead the team forward, but to try his best to erase the traces left by Mourinho here.

Although Benfica has always maintained its first place in the league, Tony is very clear that it is because Mourinho brought the team to this position, not him. Even if he can lead the team to win the league championship in the end, some people will say that he is a guy who picks up bargains.

It was the good foundation laid by Mourinho that gave him an advantage. Although such remarks have not appeared yet, there have been many voices among Benfica fans who hope that Mourinho will return, which is undoubtedly a slap in Tony's face.

Even if Tony wants to choose to defend, he may end up with nothing in the end. Look at the performance of those Porto players in the League Cup. Defending will not change anything, and may only lose more miserably.

So this is the first time that Tony is so tough in front of the chairman. Damn it, the worst result is that he will get out of here anyway, so it is better to let Benfica and Porto have a strong collision, at least he will not have any regrets.

No matter how ugly Villariño's face is, Benfica's training in recent days is still mainly based on attack. Even if their opponents have just staged a good show of 6:0, Benfica is ready to choose to use offense to deal with everything. This is Tony's choice.

Although this is the second time he has endured the contradiction of his head coach, Villariño still doesn't want to do too much at this time. This is not only because Tony advocated signing him, but more because he doesn't want to have any more branches before this game.

Because of Lin Yi's success, he has been attacked by some directors who are on the opposite side of the club. If he does too much now, maybe he doesn't have to fantasize about Benfica's dynasty anymore. He may not even be able to serve a full term and will have to get out.

Benfica and Porto, maybe this battle involves more than just victory or defeat, it also includes honor and grudges.

"Things on the field should be resolved on the field." This is what Lin Yi said to Mourinho after a day of training.

"I will make that fat guy feel very sorry for the euros that slipped away from his eyes. 100,000 is really too cheap. I will let him know what he lost."

Grudges, victory or defeat, use a game to resolve, it's a very good idea. . .
