Chapter 147 Subversive game
This warm-up match between Notts County and Porto is like a pure white handkerchief, which can erase the relevant perceptions of many people.
Although Loew recognized Porto's strength, he did not think that Porto could become Notts County's biggest opponent in the UEFA Cup as David said;
Deco knew that Notts County might have a unique strength in League One, but he did not recognize David's blind confidence in Notts County's strength;
Mourinho didn't take Notts County in his eyes, even though Notts County also qualified for the UEFA Cup, but who knows if it was obtained through some kind of fair play or something, and a League One team has What kind of strength can it have!
Alonso knew that chairman David had bought a playmaking midfielder at Porto, but was loaned back to Porto because of a labour permit issue, but he doesn't think the midfielder will come to Notts next season The county queen can threaten the loan position.
......
However, this game made them completely overthrow their own thoughts and ideas, and even after the game was over for a long time, they were still reminiscing in their minds.
After a short test, the two teams began to compete according to their respective tactical arrangements. Notts County was in control of the situation, while Porto relied on excellent defense and baptism to threaten Notts County's goal. From a comprehensive perspective In the first half, the two teams were evenly matched.
Loew was staring at the game on the field, but he was horrified. Porto's style of play will really give many clubs a headache. It is comparable to the concrete defense of Serie A and the quick counterattack of the Premier League. The combination of the two , Not to mention Notts County, even if the giants come, they can't say how much they can take advantage of.
It seems that David is really not alarmist. If Porto did not perform exceptionally in this half of the game, then Porto definitely has the strength to be in the European war.
Looking at the young marshal next to him, who was as young as himself, with admiration in his heart, Loew couldn't help but give birth to the idea of having a good fight.
And Deco was also very surprised after half-time. He already had the most intuitive understanding of the strength of Notts County.
They are evenly matched or even have the upper hand. In the contest with Porto, the Portuguese super giant, they can still achieve such a scene, which shows that the strength of Notts County can’t really be described by the strength of an ordinary League One club. I am afraid that the average Premier League club will also However, even a little less!
And Mourinho was also frowning on the sidelines. He never thought that in an ordinary warm-up match, Porto would be able to meet such a strong League One team. If English clubs are all of this strength, Then Porto really don't have to play the UEFA Cup.
As for Alonso on the field, after half-time, he was simply too surprised.
Although he is confident, he is not blindly conceited. His strength should be among the best in the midfield of the younger generation, but he cannot compare with the top midfield masters.
However, it was his future teammates who he thought might not be a threat to him. After his observation, he was surprised to find that this slightly short midfielder actually had the strength to challenge the world's top midfielders, which made him feel Very frustrated.
You can't even threaten your position!
If he continues to improve, the two may become dual-core next season, but if he does not improve greatly, I am afraid that he can only help others, or even play as a substitute. This situation is definitely not what he wants to see. of.
After figuring out each other's strength, the two teams no longer reserved in the second half, and opponents with similar strength are more likely to arouse each other's fighting spirit, and this is exactly the case in this game.
Notts County relied on excellent overall offense and excellent individual strength to control the call for help, threatening Porto's goal from time to time, and Porto's strong midfield strangulation also made Notts County very uncomfortable, coupled with Deco's sharp counterattack. ball route,
Porto's threat to Notts County's goal is also not small.
The two teams gradually played a spark.
However, the contest between the two teams ended in the defeat of Notts County, a result that was beyond many people's expectations.
It was 80 minutes into the second half, and the score was still 0:0. Then, Porto's next attack simply broke Notts County's goal, so simple that Notts County's goalkeeper Diego Lopez didn't react.
After being scored, Carvalho sat on the ground with a dull expression and lost his mind for a while. When he came back to his senses, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. This is really embarrassing.
Coming to Notts County for a season, the Portuguese central defender has already been fully integrated into the team, but at that moment, he was in a trance after concentrating on fighting for almost a game. In a trance, he felt that Porto striker Alleni was holding the ball. Chev was still his teammate, and the defensive action was delayed, allowing the opponent to dodge him and face the goalkeeper behind him to form a single-handed ball.
In fact, Alenichev is still very puzzled. He is very aware of Carvalho's strength. He is definitely the world's top central defender, but which one is this guy playing?
No matter what Carvalho's thoughts are, there is no reason to let it go when the opportunity comes, let's shoot first!
So Notts County conceded the ball.
It was also the only goal of the game.
Although the Notts County teammates felt that the goal was a bit embarrassing, they couldn't blame Carvalho. Everyone makes mistakes, although this mistake is a bit strange.
This subversive game came to an end like this, and everyone got the reminder that they deserved. Although the winner was divided, it did not prevent the two teams from each having their own gains.
Mourinho looked at Loew not far away with mixed feelings in his heart.
He has always taken a long-term view. Although he has not achieved much in the league and UEFA Cup this season, Mourinho has already set his sights on the Champions League next season. If there is no such strategic vision, Can that be called a madman?
The team lost the main defender Carvalho in the team last season. Although he found a suitable substitute in time, the decline of the team's defensive ability is an indisputable fact. Only through the greater efforts of the defensive team can we face the To make up for this, if Carvalho is still in the team now, then he must have a greater grasp of the championship.
What depresses him the most is that the team's midfield core has also been sold by the short-sighted club. Although he still stays with the team this season and can participate in the UEFA Cup with the team, what about next season?
If Porto wants to achieve good results in the Champions League next season, how can they be without a world-class midfielder who is enough to rank among the top?
Looking at the equally good playmaking midfielder in Notts County, he was so envious of Low.
Once again, the idea of finding a place with greater power came out of his heart uncontrollably, and Mourinho fell into deep thought for a while.
