    Although they were placed in the group of death, Newcastle fans did not show too much disappointment. After all, given Newcastle's current status, any team participating in the Champions League must go all out.  And in this group, Newcastle has no chance of qualifying. In addition to Real Madrid, Newcastle is fully capable of defeating the other two teams. What's more, even against Real Madrid, Newcastle is not without a fight.  force.

    Of course, this is what the local media in Newcastle said, but within Newcastle, the players are gearing up and waiting for the upcoming Champions League. You know, this is also a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves.

    After finishing their respective national team tours, the players returned to Newcastle to start training. Although they all seemed a little tired after running back and forth, they were still full of energy waiting for the start of the game.

    The ten players introduced by Newcastle this season are all capable players who have already gained a certain reputation in Europe. However, except for Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi who have won the Eredivisie championship, Kufuor has won the Bundesliga championship and Mark  Except for Lele, who won La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid, no other player has won a significant championship in the club, including Lucio, who has won the World Cup - so they also hope to win the championship.  A breakthrough in the cup!

    However, although the players are high-spirited, Mourinho has to consider their physical problems. This year, there are fully fifteen international players in the Newcastle team.  And they are basically the main players. It is still a mystery how well the physical condition can be maintained after returning to the national team for a week to play a fierce game.

    At this time, those players who are not national players are more trustworthy. After all, they have had a good rest for a week and do not have any physical problems.

    So in the fourth round of the league, Mourinho put Nie Fei, Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Trabelsi, Hart and other main international players in the stands.  The combination of Given, Kufuor, Dawson, Woodgate, Bernard, Speed, Janus, Robert, Dyer, Shearer and Bellamy performed well.  power.  Robert, who was not selected for the training camp of the French national team this time, seemed to have something to prove. His two wonderful breakthroughs in the first and second half created two penalty kicks. Shearer hit both of them, and then he drew a beautiful kick in front of the penalty area.  Newcastle scored the third goal. Newcastle defeated Everton 3-2 in an away game and jumped to fourth place with nine points. Everton's Chinese player Li Gang did not play in this game due to injury.

    After winning this game.  Newcastle can finally calm down and concentrate on preparing for the upcoming group match at home against Porto.

    After this game, Newcastle has good news and bad news. The good news is that through two penalty kicks in the last game, Shearer ranked first in the Premier League scorer list this season. This is since he retired from the England national team.  It was his first time, but it is worth mentioning that the other player who scored five goals and tied for the top scorer list with him was also a veteran.  Shearer's strike partner in the England national team during the 1996 European Championships, the 37-year-old veteran Sheringham. After helping newly promoted Portsmouth score a hat-trick in a 4-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers, Sheringham also  Scoring five goals in four league games cannot help but amaze people.

    The bad news also came from Shearer, after the game against Everton.  Shearer felt some discomfort. After examination, it was confirmed that Shearer had a mild muscle strain in his right leg. Although it was not serious, he would definitely miss the Champions League home game against Porto. He lost his number one spot in the first game of the Champions League.  The striker is not good news for Newcastle.

    The opponent is Porto. There is not much difference for Mourinho and Newcastle players. It is just a Champions League group match. Even if Mourinho is Portuguese, it does not mean that he  There is something special about Porto.  But for Pei Wei.  This game is worth pondering.

    Historically, Mourinho can be said to have started his career in Porto.  It took two years to bring this veteran team, which had been ranked fifth in the Portuguese Super League, to a glorious point - winning the league and UEFA Cup double crown in the first year, and winning the league, Champions League and UEFA Cup in the second year.  The treble of domestic cups directly made Mourinho famous and became the leader of the new generation of young coaches in Europe.

    However, now, Mourinho did not go to Porto. He stayed in China for three years and is still unknown. Although Porto won last year's league championship after hiring former Spanish national team coach Camacho, it failed to  Winning the UEFA Cup, without the command of Mourinho and the core midfielder Deco, the current Porto team is not the winner in history.This year's Champions League winner is Porto.

    Some of his own actions have shattered the myth of the first dark horse in European football since the new century. Pei Wei is proud but also has some regrets. In 1991, after Red Star Belgrade, he became the first Israeli team in the six major African leagues (Italy, England, Spain).  , Germany, France and the Netherlands) winning the Champions League as a team may never happen again.

    Even after Ajax won the championship in 1995, the Champions League was only exchanged back and forth between the four major league teams of Italy, England, West Germany, and now, it is estimated that they will not have this opportunity.

    "Since the opponent is PortoJose, then use this victory as the starting point for your glory. Whether Porto succeeds or not is none of my business, but your success is closely related to me."

    As a strong team in the Portuguese League, although Deco has long been recruited to the Chinese League by Pei Wei and has become a Chinese citizen, their strength is still strong. This can be seen from their lineup in this game. The goalkeeper  The former main goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, Baia was once known as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe in Barcelona. The four defenders from right to left are Paulo Ferreira, Carvalho and Jorge Costa.  and Valente, a standard Portuguese national team defense line. The midfield double midfielders are Maniche and Costinha, the two offensive midfielders are Mendes and Russian international Alenichev, and the forward line is  Partnered by South African forward McCarthy and Brazilian Del Rey, although two main players were poached this year, right midfielder Quaresma was bought by Barcelona and forward Postiga was bought by Tottenham, their overall strength is not  Been too affected.

    In response to the opponent's lineup, Mourinho arranged a four-three-three lineup to attack, with goalkeeper Given, defenders Trabelsi, Woodgate, Lucio and Bernard, and double midfielders Makelele and Genna.  Si, the attacking midfielder Nie Fei and Robert served as the left winger, and the forwards were partnered by Viduka and Ibrahimovic. It seems that although the opponent's tactics are to strengthen the center, Mourinho's tactics are still bold-that is, to attack the center and break through  Use your strongest point to win!

    Not being able to play in the league for three consecutive games (suspended for two games, he also failed to play in the last round of the league because he participated in the national team game), made Ibrahimovic feel very depressed. As Newcastle's biggest success in the summer  The investment (22 million in a package to acquire Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi), even if Trabelsi is worth 5 million, then Ibrahimovic is worth at least 17 million, which is more than Nie Fei and Lucio  (higher), played three games, but only contributed one indirect assist and one direct assist, which is obviously a loss.

    It is precisely because of this that Ibrahimovic is eager to prove himself in the game. After the game started, he seemed extremely active on the court, frequently withdrawing from the penalty area to ask for the ball, and then used his skills, speed and  The power continued to torture Porto's defenders.

    However, Porto's defense, which is composed entirely of Portuguese national players, is naturally not all ordinary people. When Ibrahimovic gets too much of the ball, they immediately begin to use double-teaming to deal with Ibrahimovic, but even if  This failed to completely curb Ibrahimovic's offense, because Ibrahimovic is not a player who can only dribble. On the contrary, Ibrahimovic attracts enough defensive forces from the opponent while also being able to help his teammates attack by distributing the ball.  The biggest feature of cloth.

    In the 28th minute, Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei played two beautiful one-twos in a row, then used an acrobatic backheel to get rid of Carvalho's defense, and then passed the ball with an exquisite diagonal pass.  To the left side of the penalty area, Robert, who came in at high speed, passed the ball directly to the goal without stopping. Viduka beat Costa six meters away and scored with a header!

    "Viduka scored! A powerful header! But before that, Ibrahimovic's performance was even more exciting!" Williams shouted loudly: "Although he was not directly involved in this goal,  But no one can deny his role in this goal!¡±

    Ibrahimovic curled his lips, what he wanted was not just this.

    In the next game, Ibrahimovic played even harder, and Newcastle completely controlled the situation on the field, suppressing Porto at home so that they couldn't even breathe. However, Ibrahimovic's luck today is still not very good.  , several shots either missed or were bravely saved by goalkeeper Baia.

    After wasting a lot of opportunities, Newcastle still expanded the score in the second half. After receiving the ball from Ibrahimovic, Nie Fei broke through the defense of the opponent's two defenders from the wing, and then cleverly distributed the ball to the goal near the baseline, inserting  Janus, who assisted, shot a volley from 13 meters in front of the goal and broke the net, 2-0. Newcastle basically confirmed the victory of this game.

    But Ibrahimovic received another red card, although this red card was a bit unjust - he had already received a yellow card for excessive movement in the first half, and before the end of the second half, he had received a yellow card for grabbing the ball in the frontcourt.He raised his foot too high and was sent off with a second yellow card by the referee - although Newcastle still won the game, Ibrahimovic's goal will be delayed for some time.
