Chapter 379 Coimbra Is Not a Belly

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on April 20th, the luxury coach of the Porto club arrived in Coimbra, Portugal's third largest city, accompanied by more than 4,000 Porto fans.

Although there is no suspense for Porto, which is 7 points ahead of the second place, to win the championship, but after the league championship was unexpectedly robbed by Rexos last season, Porto fans are always a little uneasy. The second championship in the bag.

Porto is one of the teams with the most fans in Portugal. This possible championship game also attracted many Porto fans. They hope to see the team create new history with their own eyes.

After resisting the Coimbra Stadium, Porto's players adapted to the field, did half-time warm-up training, and then returned to the locker room to wait for the start of the game.

Monkey, Xiao Le, Chen Qiang and others brought Fatty fans to Coimbra in the morning. They visited the University of Coimbra, which has a history of more than 700 years, and ate fried sturgeon in Coimbra. After seeing the Santa Clara Church in the afternoon, I went to the stadium to wait for the start of the game.

The game started at four o'clock, and at around three o'clock, one-third of the seats in the stands of the Coimbra Stadium were already filled. Most of them were Porto fans who came from afar.

Both Porto and Coimbra fans looked relaxed. Porto did not think that Coimbra could really beat Porto, and the Coimbra fans did not regard defeating Porto as a task.

At 4:20, players from Porto and Coimbra came out of the locker room. Ferreira and Dominguez were old acquaintances, but they just greeted each other and did not communicate more.

The players that Porto and Coimbra knew also greeted each other. The players that Gao Dong didn't know were talking to Hulk and walking forward, but a tall, slender black man stopped Gao Dong.

"Dong Gao, I think it's okay to exchange jerseys with you after the game? I heard that you need to make an appointment to exchange jerseys with you. I'm not too late now."

Gao Dong scratched his head. Ever since qualifying for the Champions League, there have been more and more things to exchange jerseys. It seems that there will only be more in the future.

"It's not too late, what's your name? Why is your hair so long, pass me some experience." Gao Dong joked with the big black guy.

"You really know how to joke, a long head has no experience, my name is Edel Chito, you can call my nickname Edel, Dong Gao, you are my idol, the miracle of your growth from an amateur player to a star is really amazing I am touched, but unfortunately, my striker has not scored for Coimbra so far."

"It's the striker who will score sooner or later, I just hope you don't score today,

Oh, it's okay for you to score goals, but it's okay if you don't win. "

"No, I'd rather not score than beat you guys."

Edel, the big black man, walked and chatted with Gao Dong as if he had found a bosom friend.

Coimbra head coach Dominguez saw his silly big striker talking and laughing happily with Gao Dong, and sighed secretly, "It's a pity, if I have players like Gao Dong, Falcao, and Hulk in my hand Genius, I can also shine like Oliveira and Ferreira, but unfortunately I only have players like Edel and Sugu."

Seeing the players from both sides come out, enthusiastic cheers broke out in the stands, and one-third of the fans were chanting the name of "Gao Dong".

Since Porto eliminated Manchester United, Gao Dong's popularity has risen sharply, and now he has become the leading star in Portugal, throwing away newcomers such as Moutinho, Veloso, Di Maria, Coentrao, etc. It took a long time to go.

The on-site commentator in Coimbra sighed: "In terms of technology alone, Gao Dong is even worse than Moutinho Veloso and Di Maria, but Gao Dong can always play a huge role in key battles. This is the potential of a star and the reason why Gao Dongxun became famous."

At 4:3, with the whistle of the referee, the 25th round of Portuguese competition finally kicked off.

The Coimbra team, who played at home, was not afraid of Porto, which had just reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. After the start, they played at a very high level. come over.

Ferreira frowned on the sidelines. Although he had been telling the players before the game, don't be careless, don't underestimate the enemy, win Coimbra, and prepare for Arsenal wholeheartedly, but the players still couldn't help it psychologically. underestimate the enemy.

This can't be helped, after all, just finished defending champion Manchester United and eliminated Manchester United. It is impossible for Porto's players to pay attention to the Portuguese mid-range team.

In the first ten minutes, Coimbra played against Porto. The Porto fans didn't care. They all looked relaxed. They felt that this was Coimbra's home court. They must show that they didn't believe that Coimbra could win. Porto.

In fact, the Porto players think so too.

However, twenty minutes later, Coimbra is still playing against Porto.

Thirty minutes passed, Porto's individual performances were less, his running was more active, and he cooperated more, but Coimbra still had the upper hand.

Coimbra's style of play is very technical, focusing on the offense of the two sides, and does not give up the pass and penetration of the center. This is also related to Dominguez's advocacy of football returning to Portugal's football tradition.

In the face of Coimbra's overall counterattack and fast pass cut, Porto played a little impatiently. The players couldn't calm down to organize the attack. The midfielders wanted to pass the deadly ball. Rodriguez and Hulk wished they could pass Everyone scored, and Falcao shot regardless of the timing. Even Merles and Gao Dong couldn't help but want to use long shots to solve the problem.

Coimbra is not a big player in Portugal, and Domingos knows Porto well. It is not so easy for Porto to beat Coimbra simply and rudely.

Ferreira yelled for a while on the sidelines, but even captain Alves and vice-team Gao Dong were in a restless mood, and Ferreira's yelling on the sidelines could change that.

Look at the 35th minute, Ferreira also gave up shouting and went back to the coach's bench. He wanted to wait until halftime to make adjustments. He couldn't score the opponent's goal at halftime. At that time, the Porto players should also understand the problem. Where did it come from, take a step back, the game between Guimarães and Sporting Lisbon in another stadium is still, even if Porto loses this game, they can still win the championship.

Coimbra became more confident as they played. At 4 minutes into the game, they finally found Porto's defensive gap through patient pass and cut cooperation.

Coimbra's continuous impact from the wing created a void in Porto's lane, and the ball was passed to midfielder Miguel. When Pedro was at his feet, Pedro suddenly went straight to the gap between Porto's central defender Rolando and Alves.

Coimbra striker Sugu quickly passed through Fernando's side, and when he caught up with the ball in the penalty area, he just pushed and shot.

Porto goalkeeper Helton reacted quickly. He subconsciously blocked the ball with his foot and blocked it.

But before the Porto fans applauded Helton's save, forward Edel, who had not scored a goal in 25 games after joining Coimbra, stretched his legs and shoveled the ball into the goal.

Coimbra leads Porto at home.

Almost at the same time, news came from another stadium. A minute ago, Moutinho scored and Sporting Lisbon led Guimaraes.
