Continuously overthrowing their most direct competitors in the league, Porto has left their former opponents behind at the beginning of the league. Their crazy offensive tide has submerged all opponents in the Portuguese Super League, leaving only a mess after their ravages.

Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, these once equal opponents have been defeated by Porto. The gap of six points has been opened in five games. In the league standings, such a far-reaching advantage has made a good start for Porto's defense journey.

With five consecutive wins, Porto entered the European war with such a cool league record, and according to the Portuguese media, God took good care of them. Although there are giants like Real Madrid in Group F, Porto's first game is against Belgrade Guerrilla.

Although it is an away game, all Portuguese people treat this game with an optimistic attitude, especially after Porto won the UEFA Cup. Such competitors in the second and third tier leagues in Europe are no longer taken seriously by too many Porto people.

This is a Serbian club with a typical Yugoslav style. Although they don't have a brilliant past like Belgrade Red Star, their performance this year is obviously better than their former big brother, but for the Portuguese media, this is not a problem.

Who is Porto? The champion of the last UEFA Cup, what a great name, just this name can scare many clubs in the second-tier European leagues, is that something that a small Belgrade guerrilla team can win? Are you kidding!

Before Porto set off from Portugal, those media reporters who sang praises to the team probably had already written their articles. Maybe they were just waiting for the score of this game to come out, and then they could fill in the blanks and hand it in directly. At least in their opinion, there would be no surprises in this game.

Their European champions are now going to conquer the Champions League, and teams like Belgrade are just their first victims.

Maybe in that Yugoslavia team that is very unfamiliar to them, only one person's name can be considered a big name, but it's just in the past tense.

Matthäus, the only big name in Belgrade Red Star, but he is no longer the absolute leader who once led the team to win the World Cup in Italy. He is just a novice who has just turned from a famous player to a coach.

Although Mourinho was also a novice a year ago, he now has the title of UEFA Cup champion on his head, while Lothar Matthäus is still just a student. Anyway, Portuguese fans have nothing to fear from this German.

Perhaps Porto's strong performance in the UEFA Cup last season gave these Portuguese people such strong confidence, and the perfect start of this season also made too many people regard winning the game as an inertial thinking. Maybe many people are not used to watching Porto lose.

At least in their view, only an absolute giant like Real Madrid in Group F can bring enough threat to Porto. Teams like Marseille and Belgrade Red Star are at best stepping stones for Porto to advance to the next round of games.

In the eyes of these people, the second-tier league teams in Europe are no longer a difficult problem for Porto to overcome. Now the Portuguese have to consider how to overthrow those absolute giants, such as Real Madrid in the same group, or some other giant clubs.

This sentiment is not only spreading among the media and fans, but even the players of Porto have begun to dream of winning the game away from home.

Even the always humble Deco has become a little arrogant in front of the camera under the crazy pursuit of the media. He even said very directly in an interview with the Spanish media: "If it is a one-on-one confrontation with Zidane, I am confident that I can beat him on the court."

The team's commander has begun to become a little confused. Can you still expect anyone in Porto to calm down now?

Dalei and McCarthy said in front of the camera that they will definitely score as many goals as possible in the Champions League. Dalei hopes that after winning the top scorer of the UEFA Cup, he can also shine in the Champions League.

Now the only ones who can keep a cool head in the Porto team are Lin Yi and Mourinho. However, Lin Yi doesn't know whether he can play, so he doesn't need to say anything.

"I don't need to say anything for the game that hasn't started yet. My task now is to fight for the game, not to let my butt be on the bench. As for how I will perform in the Champions League, let the game answer this question."

Lin Yi obviously doesn't want to be surrounded by all kinds of questions, especially those reporters' questions with ulterior motives. For Lin Yi himself, it is better to hide in the corner as an invisible knife than to be a target that attracts attention.

Mourinho saw the undercurrents of the Champions League when he was in Barcelona. No team that appeared in the Champions League was easy to deal with. Even teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid have fallen on some inconspicuous clubs.

The current Porto team is not strong enough to look down on others. Don't forget, this is the Champions League. The teams that can appear here are all the best in various leagues. Even if there is a little negligence on the field, Porto may be doomed.

Mourinho did not remind his players before the game that this is a Champions League game, and every game is the toughest confrontation.

If you want to keep winning, you must first put the damn title of UEFA Cup champion behind your mind. There are no weak players in the Champions League.

Although Mourinho has warned these arrogant players in advance, they still ran into trouble at the home of Belgrade Red Star.

Completely controlling the game, Porto did this at the opponent's home. They even had a terrifying ratio of 70% to 30% in the ball possession time on the field, but the opponent's goal was not broken by Porto's absolute ball control.

Belgrade Guerrilla is not afraid of the ugly scene, especially Matthäus is not afraid that the defensive style of play will cause boos from the home fans, because the opponent is the champion of the League Cup, and this title has given Guerrilla enough reasons to play defensive counterattacks.

Let you control the ball and let you calmly organize the attack in the midfield. Matthäus set up enough interception lines for Porto in his own half.

As long as Porto's attack group presses over the half court, what awaits them is fierce tackles and pure German-style physical confrontation. Coupled with the delicacy of these Serbians, Porto has the advantage on the field, but can't knock down the opponent's tightly organized barriers.

Deco and Dallei were completely stared at by the Serbians. As long as the two of them tried to get the ball, they would inevitably be sandwiched by two or three opponents at the same time.

Deco, who had just recovered from an ankle injury, was completely helpless by this fierce pressing. It was a luxury for him to face the goal of the Guerrilla team. He could only pass back and forth, and occasionally one or two unconventional passes could provide some help to the forward line.

Mourinho kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines. He was not unprepared for such a bad situation, but the guys under him had lost their usual calmness and only thought about how to quickly eat up the opponent, just like they did in the Portuguese league.

Lin Yi followed assistant coach Brito to warm up and prepare, while watching the headache-inducing situation on the field. He didn't know what he could do now, but the excitement brought by the Champions League game had begun to spread in his body.

But the tough Matthäus instilled the German style in the Guerrilla team. These Serbians, who are very delicate in their own skills, once they have a fierce will, they can bring more trouble to the Porto team.

Before the end of the first half, it started to rain heavily in Belgrade. The fierce rain began to pour on the grass of the stadium, and the poor field began to accumulate water quickly, which made the Porto team, which originally had an advantage in technology, begin to lose its sharpness.

The reprimand during the halftime break made the Porto players start to play the game with full spirit, but God seemed to like to joke with these guys. In the second minute after the start of the second half, the guerrillas used a counterattack to win a corner kick opportunity.

This was the only corner kick for the guerrillas so far in the game, but it was this corner kick that made the Porto people taste the bitterness. The veteran Drulovic, who had played for the Porto team, took a free kick, and the guerrilla striker West blocked it with his back, and their young shooter Deribasic made a supplementary shot and scored.

They pressed the opponent for nearly 50 minutes, and then were knocked down in this way. The twisted line drawn by the football in the heavy rain, and the magical back block, including the final supplementary shot, all happened so strangely. It was basically not a shot, but more like a passive rebound.

But no matter what, the ball has already gone in. As for how it went in, no one cares. The whole of Belgrade is cheering for this goal. The guerrillas are already leading 1:0 at their home stadium, and there is not much time left for Porto.

Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at Mourinho the second the goal was scored. He didn't know if this wretched uncle would remember him.

But Mourinho still frowned on the sidelines and didn't look at his substitutes. Maybe he was still thinking about something.

This blow has awakened many Portuguese people from their dreams. . .
