Chapter 374

Porto's return to Portugal on the third day ushered in the challenge of League opponents alladoma.

As Porto is 17 points ahead of the second place Sporting Lisbon in the league, and there are only seven rounds left in the league, if Porto wins this round and Sporting Lisbon loses or draws, then Porto can win six rounds ahead of time.

However, due to the second leg of the quarter final of the Champions League in the middle of next week, which is a life and death battle with Manchester United, Porto dare not disperse their physical strength and energy into the league. Anyway, it is only a matter of time to win the championship, so Ferreira plans to Send a pure substitute team to play and let the main players rest for a few more days.

But what Ferreira didn't expect is that Gao Xiaodong refused to rest and insisted on playing and starting.

Ferreira was very surprised. He couldn't figure out what Gao Xiaodong meant. There was no lack of Gao Xiaodong in the Champions League, so he resolutely refused to let Gao Xiaodong play.

Gao Xiaodong saw Ferreira's attitude was very firm, so he told Ferreira that he had bet with his friends that he could start 30 games in Porto. He didn't want to lose this gamble. He hoped Ferreira could start himself, even if he played for more than ten minutes.

Looking at Ferreira's hesitation, Gao Xiaodong said he hopes to cheat and confuse Manchester United.

Although Gao Xiaodong's reasons are far fetched and wonderful, because he is only 19 years old, Ferreira thinks Gao Xiaodong is still a child and has a heavy heart to play with. In addition, cheating is really a good smoke bomb, so he agrees.

So in the match between the home court and aradoma, all the main players of Porto sat on the bench, only the core of midfield Gao Xiaodong took a group of second team players to play with aradoma.

If Porto's attitude is perfunctory, then there is no difference between allardoma and perfunctory. In the first half of 30 minutes, Gao Xiaodong scored twice to help the team lead by 2 goals. Then the fat man fell to the ground with a false injury and asked to be replaced.

This has caused great fear among Porto fans. Gao Xiaodong is absolutely the key factor in the second leg match with Manchester United. Although Alves is back from injury, Gao Xiaodong's injury will have a greater impact than Alves. Although

was still in the field, Oporto's substitute players were awesome, and scored two goals in the second half, and home court 4:2 beat the Arab League to win the league championship.

After the league, Porto put all their energy into preparing for the Champions League quarter final.

Compared with before the start of the first leg of the quarter finals, the views of the outside media and fans on Porto have completely changed.

The fish belly has become a black horse, the rough Gao Xiaodong has become a supernova, Falcao and Hulk have become potential stars, and the second rate champion has also become a Champions League gene.

Before the start of the quarter finals, Porto's odds of winning the championship were at the bottom of the top eight. After the first leg, due to Villarreal's 1-1 draw at home by Arsenal, Bayern lost to Barcelona 0-4 away. Now Porto's odds have surpassed Villarreal and Bayern, and are even with Manchester United and Liverpool.

Although judging from all the 2-2 matches after the reform of the Champions League, the probability of Manchester United's promotion is only 10%, and Manchester United have never won in Porto, because Manchester United are much stronger than Porto, neither the media nor the fans are sure that Manchester United will be eliminated.

On April 15, the first match day of the second leg of the Champions League quarter final took the lead. Bayern, who lost 4-0 at home, and Liverpool, who lost 3-1 at home, struggled for promotion in the first leg. However, their opponents Barcelona and Chelsea were in good condition and didn't show any carelessness. In the end, Barcelona drew Bayern 1-1 at home and Chelsea were in a dangerous 4-4 at home Wupu.

Although Barcelona and Chelsea were all promoted in the first game, the players and fans of Porto felt a chill.

Because of the desperate giants, Liverpool showed extremely strong fighting capacity. If it wasn't for the popularity of Chelsea, Liverpool might even complete a reversal away from home with a 3-1 defeat.

The Red Devils Manchester United and Liverpool are a pair of enemies with similar style. They are good at playing against the wind. The 2-2 away score and England's curse at the Dragon stadium are not safe at all.

On the morning of April 16, Manchester United manager Ferguson took Ronaldo to the pre match press conference after finishing adaptability training at the Dragon stadium.

Ferguson said: "first of all, I would like to announce good news to the fans. After evaluation, it is confirmed that Ferdinand has fully recovered. Since last Friday, he has been training normally for three days in a row and has done well. Therefore, in the second leg against Porto, he will start. Ferdinand is very important for us, he can love to bring different feelings to the game at any time, that's what we need. To be able to regroup Ferdinand and Vidic is the result I need. They have been in touch this season, which is the cornerstone of our solid defense

"In addition, Berbatov and Anderson are also back from injury, they will bring more changes to our attack. With the return of these three injured people, we have greater confidence in breaking the unbeatable circle at the Dragon stadium and completing the reversal.""Recently everyone is talking about Macheda as the new Solskjaer. I hope I can play him in the Champions League knockout. I think he will have a chance, but he needs to be patient

"Ronaldo didn't do well in the first leg, but I believe he will play an important role in this leg. He is the best player in the world and I believe he has the ability to help Manchester United win the Champions League again."

"In addition, the recent Portuguese media hype about Gao Xiaodong's injury, I think it is a conspiracy, Gao Xiaodong will appear in the evening game, in addition, Gao Xiaodong can't change the game, we won't rely on the opponent's main injury, similarly, I don't think the return of Alves will prevent us from breaking their gate."

Cristiano Ronaldo was very subdued in the first leg. This time, he went back to his motherland and played against his rivals in the domestic league. Cristiano Ronaldo is very eager to have a good performance.

"We are going to win at the Dragon stadium because we are number one in the world and I believe I will score," the World Footballer told reporters when asked

"Porto has never lost to a club from England in Europe. Why do you have such a strong confidence?" asked Portuguese journalist Maria

Ronaldo said: "I'm feeling good now, I believe the best games are coming and I'm ready for that. Porto did well in the first leg. But the Champions League knockout is two rounds, only in two rounds of events have excellent performance, can be promoted

Maia continued: "Porto star Gao Xiaodong has scored eight goals in the Champions League. Many people think he is better than Ronaldo in Lisbon. Do you agree with that?"

Ronaldo said disdainfully: "I am the best player in the world. I think so since I was a child. I don't want to compare with anyone. I repeat, I am the best player in the world. Manchester United is the best team in the world. We will be in the top four tonight."
