In fact, Porto's strength is not so bad.
More because of the failure against Xu Ning, he was scored by Xu Ning, and his mentality was a little strained.
As a result, the momentum was depressed, and it was like a flood.
The 5:0 score also means that the two-legged battle has lost its suspense in the first round.
Back at home, can Malaga still lose five to Porto?
At least this season, no team has yet been able to do that.
Real Madrid can't do it, Barça can't do it!
After finishing this game, Xu Ning said goodbye to his teammates and rushed to the Portuguese national team training base.
This is the first time Xu Ning has come to the national team to report.
The players of the national squad who did not play in the Champions League had already reported for duty after the weekend of the league.
When Xu Ning came, the training base was already lively.
Speaking of which, the atmosphere in the Portuguese national team is still very good, which is also one of the important factors for Xu Ning to choose the Portuguese national team.
The atmosphere in many of Europe's big teams is simply ridiculous.
Like the Netherlands, France, Spain....
The dressing room was like a farce.
Even the German national team had a scandal in which Podolski slapped captain Ballack.
At this point, Portugal is pretty good.
For Xu Ning's arrival, the players in the team called a welcome!
Finally have two thighs!
Originally, the Portuguese national team in this period was a little green, and Ronaldo could only carry it alone.
And Xu Ning, who seems to have a stronger scoring ability than Ronaldo, is here, and the burden on Ronaldo is undoubtedly much lighter.
The strength of the Portuguese national team has definitely risen to a higher level.
I'm afraid that the only ones who are not so happy are a few strikers, after all, Xu Ning's arrival will definitely crowd out their position.
But this is not necessarily a contradiction.
When Ronaldo arrived, the whole team was even more lively, as if it was a festival.
If it weren't for the tight schedule, the happy Ronaldo would have brought the whole team to a party.
Speaking of which, the Portuguese national team is not in a good situation right now.
This refers to the purely competitive level.
In the European qualifiers for the World Cup '14, Portugal was drawn in a group with Russia, Northern Ireland, Azerbaijan, Israel and Luxembourg.
In the same group, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan can undoubtedly only play the role of sending children.
Northern Ireland and Israel should play the role of spoilers.
Portugal and Russia are vying for the top spot in the group.
Generally everyone is more optimistic about Portugal.
However, after four rounds of group play, the group situation was very different from what everyone expected.
Portugal is very decadent!
So bad that Paolo Bento is almost out of class!
The first and second rounds were won by Luxembourg and Azerbaijan.
But in the third round, against rival Russia, it simply lost.
In the fourth round, when facing Northern Ireland, they were forced to draw by their tenacious opponents.
4 wins, 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, only 7 points;
And the opponent Russia won all 4 games, 12 points were full, directly throwing off Portugal 5 points!
These 5 points can determine life and death!
Even if Russia can defeat the opponent in the next round, as long as Russia does not make mistakes, Portugal will still not be able to catch up!
In other words, because it was forced to draw by Northern Ireland, Portugal has lost the initiative to qualify from the group.
According to the promotion rules of the European zone of the World Qualifiers, the first place in the group directly qualifies, and the second place in the group plays the play-offs.
Now, Portugal are likely to play the play-offs.
This is not a situation that can be changed by how much Portugal's strength increases, and it is so embarrassing that the initiative is not in its own hands.
Of course, with Xu Ning joining, the Portuguese fans are completely relieved.
Even if the play-offs are played, which second place in the group can withstand the bombardment of Cristiano Ronaldo and Xu Ning?
After the assembly, Portugal did not have time to practice together and went directly to Israel.
In this game, Xu Ning did not enter the starting lineup.
On the one hand, because Paolo Bento did agree with Pellegrini to use Xu Ning appropriately.
On the other hand, because Xu Ning was selected for the national team for the first time, he may not be well integrated into the overall tactical system of the team.
Xu Ning was also happy.
Because he knows that as long as he sits on the bench, he will have a 2:0 halo!
Even if Portugal has an accident on the pitch and comes on with two goals, it is enough to solve the problem.
Just in case!
However, he did not expect that something really went wrong in Portugal!
Due to the lack of joint training, the recent intensive schedule has led to a decline in the fitness of the players and poor competitive form, and Portugal were scored twice in a row by Israel, which was better prepared in the first half.
Ronaldo is also in bad shape on the field!
After all, the state is not easy to adjust.
Plus the Portuguese midfield organisation has always been a big problem and simply cannot suppress the opponent well.
Although the second half began with the game, Ronaldo, who gradually regained his form, used an inside cut to help his team get a city back.
But within minutes, Israel took advantage of Portugal's aggressive pressure to strike a quick counterattack and extend the score to 3:1.
All of a sudden, Portugal was stunned!
A terrible thought came to everyone's mind – Portugal wouldn't miss the World Cup, would it?
If Portugal don't finish second in the group, they won't even qualify for the play-offs!
Before this match, Israel was already ahead of Portugal because of the goal difference.
If Portugal loses this match, I am afraid that the second place in the group will not be guaranteed.
Terrible thoughts spread, causing everyone to almost collapse.
Ronaldo wants to make a difference, but now the team as a whole can't play, and it is difficult for him to rely on his personal ability to solve the battle as he gradually transforms into a shooter.
The Portuguese players on the field were even more like headless flies, playing messily.
Paolo Bento on the sidelines kept dispatching the command, wanting the team to play the overall advantage, but the morale was low and he hardly played much role.
Just when Paolo Bento was almost confused and desperate, he suddenly heard neat shouts from the stands.
"Xu Ning!"
"Xu Ning!"
"Xu Ning!"
The shouts came from the hundreds of Portuguese fans in the stands who traveled to the away stadium to cheer on the team!
These fans who are on the front line are more anxious than anyone else.
It's all this time, why don't you change Xu Ning to play?
They firmly believe that as long as Xu Ning plays, he will definitely change the situation.
Paolo Bento almost slapped himself.
How did he forget Xu Ning!
Super Bench, show me!
With a wave of his hand, he finally replaced Xu Ning in the 65th minute of the second half.
"You have no other mission!"
"Goal!"
"Give me a goal!"
"Make sure you equalize!"
Paul Bento has nothing to explain, anyway, Xu Ning is not familiar with the overall Portuguese tactics.
He could only hope for Xu Ning's magic!
He also believes that Xu Ning will be the key to changing the situation of the game!
If Xu Ning couldn't do it either, then he could only leave class to thank the world!
