There is no surprise in the Champions League draw, but it doesn''t disappoint Porto people. After all, Porto and Villarreal are the only two fish bellies in the last eight. Porto has only one seventh chance to draw Villarreal, and six seventh chance to draw the giants. It''s too greedy to complain about bad luck.


    The start of the Champions League quarter final is still early, Porto''s main task now is to win the Portuguese League Cup.


    The cup was held only last season. The participating teams are all professional members of the Portuguese Football Association. The competition is divided into five rounds. In the first round, the participating teams are the low-level league teams below the Portuguese Super League and take two rounds of elimination.


    The promotion team and the last 10 teams (including the promoted team) in the Portuguese Super League last season were divided into three groups by drawing lots, with three teams in each group. The single round robin competition system was adopted, and the group leader was promoted.


    The six promotion teams and the top six teams in the Portuguese Super League last season were divided into three groups with four teams in each group. The single round robin competition system was adopted. The first team in the group was promoted and the second team with the best performance was promoted.


    The semi-finals and finals are eliminated in a single match. If the two sides draw in 90 minutes, the penalty shootout will be carried out directly.


    The difficulty of winning the League Cup is not low, but the champion can not get the qualification of next season''s European games, so it is meaningless to win the League Cup. All teams don''t want to fight to death in this competition and affect the league. Therefore, almost all teams take the cup to train.


    However, in the final, due to the championship has been very close, whether it is another into the final of Benfica or Porto, all attach importance to the game.


    Benfica lost the hope of winning the title early in the league, and the Portuguese Cup was eliminated, leaving only the Portuguese Cup to be contested. They attach more importance to the title than Porto.


    At 7:45 p.m. on March 21


    the stands of the Dragon stadium were full of fans from all over Portugal who came to watch Porto and Benfica''s Cup final.


    This is the first Portuguese football champion of the season, although the chicken ribs, but of great significance.


    With it, Benfica can avoid the result of nothing, Porto can also realize the dream of a treble.


    For Gao Xiaodong, the actual significance of the cup final is obviously more than others.


    According to the regulations of the system, if the League Cup champion wins, Gao Xiaodong will be able to get two system points, in addition to the red envelope reward of the system.


    After returning to Porto, scoring is getting easier and easier. After being promoted to professional B, Gao Xiaodong has 12 system points, and the two points of the Carling Cup champion will win a league match. It''s nothing, but the red envelope reward is very attractive to Gao Xiaodong. He hasn''t received the red envelope for a long time. Gao Xiaodong really wants to know that if he wins the League Cup this time, what will he do What can Tong reward.


    At home, Porto is still an old opponent. At the beginning of the game, Porto is active and ready to solve the problem within 90 minutes.


    Benfica is more active than Porto. Although their strength is weaker than Porto, they can''t fall down. In the national Derby, even if they lose, they can''t be counseled. If they lose, Benfica''s fans can accept it. If they counseled, they will be scolded to death by the fans.


    Benfica''s running is very positive. In the front court, besides Cardoso, who is too tall and doesn''t need to defend back, other veteran players like Aimar and Reyes, or potential newcomers like DiMaria, all actively defend back to the front of their forbidden zone.


    Porto''s preparation for this match is not as good as Benfica''s, and they don''t have enough respect for their domestic opponents because they have reached the last eight in the Champions League.


    At the beginning of the game, Porto could still compete with Benfica, but 15 minutes later, their players in the middle and front court were surrounded by Benfica. Gao Xiaodong looked around and felt that he was surrounded by his opponent''s players, and it was hard to find the pass point except backward.


    Ferreira''s face is grim. He didn''t expect Benfica to play so well. It seems that the opponent is determined to win the championship. Ferreira sighs and thinks it''s necessary to remind the captain Gao Xiaodong. Otherwise, Porto may lose the ball.


    The commentator said: "Benfica is crazy. It seems that they are going to make a big news in Porto today. DiMaria is very active today. As Benfica''s most popular rookie, a team has offered him 20 million euros, but he can''t compete with Gao Xiaodong. Maybe that''s why DiMaria is fighting so hard today. He wants to prove that he is no worse than Gao Xiaodong... "


    Porto coach Ferreira thought, a little slow action, did not wait for him to remind Gao Xiaodong, Benfica scored.


    The first 20 minutes of the game, Di Maria along the flank even two people, and then single Porto right back fusile.


    Fuxilai fought and retreated, trying to wait for his teammates to come up to help defend, but DiMaria suddenly cut across and killed directly into the penalty area.


    Although fuxilai moved across the past, he didn''t follow firmly. He didn''t believe that DiMaria would enter the penalty area from the side of the penalty area.


    However, DiMaria was very determined to break through, and actually led the ball into the restricted area. Facing the Porto centre back sapluna, DiMaria slammed the ball and swung past sapluna, ignoring his teammate Cardoso, and even ignoring Reyes, who was in front of the restricted area, he directly used his left foot outside to kick a curved ball and shoot the back corner of the goal."Danger


    "Outer instep


    "It''s a shot!"


    "Better pass."


    ……


    It was a very unexpected breakthrough and shot. Porto goalkeeper Helton was not on guard and could only watch the ball run to the back corner of the goal.


    Bang!


    DiMaria was out of luck and the ball bounced out of the corner between the crossbar and the post.


    At this time, the lack of an experienced captain Alves showed up. The young centre back Rolando was still in a daze, while Benfica striker Cardoso had moved to make a supplementary shot. He headed a little and sent the ball into Porto''s goal.


    1: 0


    in 21 minutes, Cardoso''s supplementary shot gave Benfica the lead.


    The noisy dragon stadium quiets down. Porto, who has won brilliant victories in the league and the Champions League, has fallen behind. Porto fans can''t believe their eyes.


    The commentator said sternly: "Porto didn''t play well in the first 20 minutes today. It seems that they underestimated their rivals and didn''t take Benfica seriously. These young people forget that the national derby is always a different game. No matter how bad Benfica''s state is this season, they will always adjust their state to the best in the national Derby. Fortunately, the time to score is the best Earlier, Porto still has a chance to draw. Next, Porto must be serious and go all out to win the first championship cup of this season and boost their morale for the next quarter final of the Champions League. "


    This is the first time for Gao Xiaodong to take part in the championship competition as a team leader. Unexpectedly, he was beaten in front of more than 40000 fans at his own door. Gao Xiaodong was a little angry.


    When Benfica people celebrate, Gao Xiaodong just wanted to call his teammates over for training, but Ferreira called him first.


    "Xiaodong, you can''t play like this. It''s not a competition for the chicken ribs championship. It''s a national Derby. We must play as a national Derby, otherwise we will lose."


    Gao Xiaodong patted his chest and said, "don''t worry, coach, the team will change soon."


    Back in the past, Gao Xiaodong immediately forward 20 minutes running is not active, playing too show off a few teammates furious.


    "Hurry up and cheer me up. Run and fight. NIMA, playing football is not a treat. We need the champion and the scene. Today we have to abuse them. Who won''t run in a while and who will hide in the fight? Get off the court immediately! The coach said that such a player should not participate in the Champions League


    The vast majority of Porto players are using Porto as a springboard to go to the five major leagues. If they want to be favored by the five major leagues, the Champions League is the best stage. Listening to Gao Xiaodong''s saying that they can''t play well in the Champions League, they dare not neglect it. Their spirit has all come up.
