Chapter 336 Later, someone looked like him
After meeting with his old friend Neves, Jiang Yuan met privately with Mendes who was resting in Porto. The two met at a local pastry restaurant. It was the busiest time of the day, but the restaurant was closed because of their meeting.
"Jiang, I have already done some research in the Portuguese league about what you told me last time."
Mendes crossed his hands in front of him with a serious expression. The owner of the pastry restaurant was guarding the door. If anyone wanted to come in and buy something, he would drive them away without hesitation.
"But there is one thing I don't understand, why do you want shares in the Portuguese First Division team?"
Mendes raised his doubts. It was not new for top league players to acquire second-tier league teams in both football and basketball. However, at Jiang Yuan's age, it was not a good idea for him to focus on team management...
“I just want to understand the football industry at a deeper level.”
Jiang Yuan made up an excuse and muddled through the question: "So... is there a suitable team?"
Mendes took out a document from his briefcase, spread it out in front of Jiang Yuan, and explained in detail: "Currently in the Portuguese League, the only team with financial problems is Lexon Ish, but their financial problems are not serious. If you want to acquire them..."
At this point, Mendes paused and looked up at Jiang Yuan's eyes: "I went to Lexon Ish in person. Do you know how much you need to pay if you want to get 80% of Lexon Ish's shares?"
Mendes held up five fingers: "5 million euros!"
hiss--
Jiang Yuan took a breath. He didn't expect the price of a Portuguese League team to be so exaggerated. It was really outrageous.
5500 million euros is a considerable expense, not to mention for individual acquirers, even for some family businesses.
Jiang Yuan's current weekly salary is only 26 pounds, which is equivalent to 1700 million euros per year. Taking into account some goal bonuses, winning bonuses, and image rights, the total salary will not exceed 2200 million euros.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan also has a private youth training base in the country, for which he has to pay no less than 150 million pounds every year. From this point of view, if Jiang Yuan wants to acquire 80% of the shares of Lexon Ish, it will take at least three years.
As Jiang Yuan's agent, Mendes is aware of Jiang Yuan's income level. 2000 million euros in after-tax income is top level in the Premier League, but if he wants to acquire a Portuguese League team, this income is not enough.
"So I don't really recommend buying Lexon. If you like running a team, a second or third division (semi-professional) team would be a good choice."
Mendes turned to the next page of the document, which showed several alternative plans.
The gap between each league is very large, especially between the Portuguese First Division and the Portuguese Second Division. To acquire a Portuguese First Division team, Jiang Yuan needs to pay no less than 5500 million euros, but if it is a Portuguese Second Division team, the price will drop to 800 million euros, or even lower. Because Jiang Yuan had signed a short-term endorsement contract with adidas before, he could accept the price of 800 million euros.
In this regard, Jiang Yuan said...
“I still prefer Lexon Ish.”
Jiang Yuan took two aspects into consideration. The first was the overall level of the team. Lexon Ischia was considered a strong team in the Portuguese League.
Then there is the youth training system. Lexon Ish's youth training system is very outstanding among all the teams in the Portuguese league.
80% of the shares are priced at 5500 million euros, but Jiang Yuan does not need 80% as much. He only wants the shares that allow him to decide on the player transfers and youth training of Lexon Ish.
Jiang Yuan really wants to take over Lexion, which Mendes doesn't understand. However, considering Jiang Yuan's age, it is understandable that he has an entrepreneurial dream.
The two had a final discussion, and Jiang Yuan expressed his demands. After analysis, Mendes said that if Jiang Yuan just wanted to have shareholder voting rights in player transfers, then 10% of the shares would be enough for him to do a lot of things.
But if Jiang Yuan wants to directly control the youth training of Lexon Ish, the shares he needs will not be less than 51%, which is the so-called absolute control, which requires a lot of money.
For an athlete's income, salary is only a part of it. Commercial endorsements or image rights are equally important. So Mendes said that if Jiang Yuan needs money, he can look for endorsements now and let Jiang Yuan sign the contract in December, so that he can get a pretty good compensation.
As for why it was chosen after December, it is because this year's Golden Globe Awards will be announced in mid-December.
"This has nothing to do with me, right?"
Jiang Yuan didn't understand what Mendes meant. Chelsea was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the first half of the year. Even if Jiang Yuan won the Golden Boot, he would not be able to win the Ballon d'Or. As for this year's Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo is definitely the first favorite, followed by Messi.
“I don’t need to win the Ballon d’Or”
Mendes smiled and said: "The Golden Globe Awards are ranked. As long as you appear on that list, your commercial value will increase many times online, so your next endorsement must wait until the Golden Globe Awards list is announced."
Well……
Mendes had to be the one to take care of all the details. The two of them had dinner together in the restaurant, and then Mendes gave Jiang Yuan a black Mercedes and was responsible for taking Jiang Yuan to Lisbon.
Putting aside the acquisition of Lexon Ish, as a professional player, Jiang Yuan ensures that his focus is always on the game. This is Chelsea's first Champions League game this month and also the highest level game Jiang Yuan has faced since the Asian qualifiers.
Although the opponent Sporting CP is not as famous as the Bundesliga giants Dortmund, it is also one of the top super teams in the Portuguese Super League.
"Good luck!"
Mendes stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Yuan.
What agents like are athletes with business ambitions!
……
At 10:19 am on October 2th, Beijing time, at the Estádio José Alvalade stadium, players from both teams were already in their positions in the player tunnel.
Standing in the player tunnel, Jiang Yuan could hear the shouts coming from outside very clearly. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Yuan even heard the home team fans shouting his name.
When playing in the Portuguese Super League in the first half of 15, Jiang Yuan played against Sporting CP in the league as a starting player of Porto, so for Sporting CP fans, Jiang Yuan can be considered an old acquaintance.
Unfortunately, there was no player in the Sporting CP team that Jiang Yuan knew.
"Jiang, go forward."
Zuma pushed Jiang Yuan's back and squeezed forward. This guy was very excited in every away game, and this time was no exception.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and then waved to the players behind him, and the players from both teams walked out slowly.
"woww!"
"Sporting CP~Sporting CP!"
"Portuguese sporting!"
"Woahh~woahhh~!"
The Alvalade Stadium has a total of more than 5 seats. Whenever there is a hot Champions League match, the stadium is always full. Although Portuguese fans are not as crazy as English and German fans, they are still very enthusiastic.
"Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai!"
"This is the live broadcast of the third round of the 16-17 UEFA Champions League Group G match between Sporting CP and Chelsea at home. I am He Wei, the commentator of this game, and I am Liu Jianhong, the commentator."
"We can see that the players from both teams are already in position on the field and the game is about to begin"
"The referee blew the whistle! The game begins!"
"Now let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams. First is the home team Sporting CP. As the third in the league last season, Sporting CP's status is unquestionable. And today, Sporting CP played their most accustomed 4231 formation, and I believe they will go all out in the match against Chelsea."
Sporting CP (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper: Patricio
Defenders: Schelotto, Coates, Ruben Semedo, Zeghelaar
Midfielders: William Carvalho, Elias, Markovic
Forwards: Gerson Martins, Dost, Ruiz
Head coach: Jorge Jesus
"Then it's the visiting team Chelsea, wearing all-black jerseys and all-black shorts. Jiang Yuan, who didn't play in the last league game, is back in the starting lineup today."
"Jiang Yuan, Ibrahimovic, Hazard, Pogba... Chelsea also has its full main lineup today!"
As commentator Liu Jianhong said, both sides attach great importance to this game. There is no way around it, Chelsea and Sporting CP are first and second respectively, and the points difference is only 2 points, and there is also a covetous Dortmund behind them.
There are only two qualifying spots in each group, and neither Chelsea nor Portugal have yet secured qualification for the knockout stage.
For Sporting CP, their goal is to qualify from the group stage, while for Chelsea, there is only one goal, which is to finish first in the group.
If Chelsea does not advance as the group leader, they will most likely face Bayern or even Real Madrid in the round of 16, which is something that all Chelsea fans do not want to see.
As soon as the game started, Sporting CP took advantage of its home advantage and launched a quick attack on Chelsea.
Coach Jesus has obviously designed tactics specifically for Chelsea. After all, Chelsea has a notable feature this season, which is that they are basically in poor form in the first 10 minutes of away games. For Sporting CP, this opportunity must obviously be seized.
Snapped!
Elias made a long pass to Martins at the front on the right. Jiang Yuan tried to stop the ball with a sliding tackle, but unfortunately he failed.
As the team's top scorer, Gelson Martins' first reaction after getting the ball was not to cooperate with his teammates, but to dribble forward by himself.
Hazard followed on the side, retreating little by little. Although he was running towards Martins, Hazard would not actively participate in defense if it was not necessary. This was the privilege Mourinho gave to the Belgian superstar.
Hazard was just a cover, the core defensive player was still Kante. While Martins was dribbling the ball, Kante turned sideways, stepped back while staring at Martins' feet, ready to rush up and make a steal when the opportunity was right.
Martins was very smart and knew that Kante had good defensive ability, so he took the initiative to approach and passed the ball to Ruiz who ran to the middle to catch the ball.
At the same time, Markovic, who originally played as an attacking midfielder, suddenly ran to the left. This was a cross-run between him and Ruiz in the frontcourt. The rapid running changes of the two made Pogba feel a little uncomfortable. He could only choose to guard Ruiz and leave Markovic to William who was returning to defense.
"Stick to him!"
Kante shouted, signaling Pogba not to pass the ball to Ruiz, but his reminder was still a little too slow. As soon as Kante finished speaking, Ruiz threw a high ball to the wing, and Schelotto, who had just finished the pass, arrived just in time.
"Schelotto, one-on-one with Azpilicueta on the wing, the position is very average, you can choose an inverted triangle"
"Jiang Yuan didn't make an inverted triangle immediately. He rushed back and stuck to Martins. Now Schelotto can only pass the ball or pass back. Let's see what Schelotto chooses."
"Bicycle on the side, shake it, and pass it directly!"
"Beautiful! Azpilicueta kicked Schelotto's cross away. In the 14th minute of the game, the home team got a corner kick in the frontcourt. The Angolan midfielder Carvalho was responsible for the corner kick."
"Club de Portugal!"
bang bang
"Club de Portugal!"
Bang bang bang!
The fans at the scene cheered, and players from both teams moved towards the Chelsea penalty area. Martins and Semedo stood together. Pogba patted Jiang Yuan's butt, and when Jiang Yuan looked over and blinked, the latter understood and pushed Schelotto away in front of Pogba.
Snapped!
After a corner kick, Zouma got the first penalty kick. The French central defender tightened up and shook his head, heading the ball directly out.
William and Elias were competing for the second penalty kick. In the end, Elias was one step faster. He kicked the ball with the instep to shake off William, and after finding the angle, he took a long shot.
Snapped!
Zouma put his hands on his hips and twisted his upper body to the side. Elias's long shot finally hit his shoulder and was then kicked out of the sideline by Kante.
"what--!!!!"
"Roar!!!"
Zouma roared, and Courtois and Jiang Yuan hugged his head and rubbed his hair hard.
Jiang Yuan even began to hypnotize Zouma: "The best defender in the world! You are the best defender in the world, Kurt, you are awesome!"
Zuma grabbed Jiang Yuan's hand: "The best defender in the world!!!"
OK, judging from the current situation, Jiang Yuan's hypnosis should have been successful. In this game, Zuma is the world's number one defender, and no rebuttal will be accepted!
[Awesome! Zuma is really ruthless. Is there anyone who knows English who can translate what Xiao Jiang and Zuma are talking about?]
[Heading the ball to clear the ball and blocking the long shot, Zouma is in really good form today. I feel Chelsea will win this game. Sporting CP is no match for Chelsea at all]
[I don’t care whether Chelsea wins or not, as long as Jiang Yuan can score a goal, I’m a fan of inferior people]
[Don’t open the champagne, the Portuguese team is not weak at all, okay? Look at No. 77, he is probably only a little over 1 meters tall, but he runs really fast]
[What's the point of running fast? No matter how fast you run, you can't be faster than Jiang Yuan. Before this season even started, Xiao Jiang's speed value on FIFA was already 88, the fastest team in the top five leagues!]
[Jiang Yuan is indeed awesome, but the protagonist of this game is destined to be my cavalry general Kurt Zouma. If Chelsea lose a goal today, I will take off my clothes and run naked]
[Okay, brother, follow one]
[Sportivo's attacking line is still OK, but Zouma is in super good shape today, so Sportivo probably has nothing to lose. Fortunately, I was smart and bought Chelsea to win alone. I feel like I have made money today. Brothers, can you recommend any good foot massage shops in Yuhang District? They must be regular ones.]
【Why should it be formal? 】
[You are such a fool above me. You asked the formal questions and the rest are informal. With your intelligence, you will probably be treated like a monkey if you play professional football.]
[No, no, you misunderstood, I just want the formal one]
【Chelsea, go! 】
Zouma's stunning performance not only amazed the fans who stayed up late to watch the game in the CCTV live broadcast room, but also amazed the audience on the scene.
Judging from the situation in the past ten minutes, it is definitely not an easy task for Sporting CP to break through Chelsea's defense today.
"Zeherald, throw the ball out quickly, Ruiz passes it directly back to Elias"
"Elias, kick a high ball into the penalty area!" "Elias's crossing ability is average in Sporting CP, but we can see that his high ball is quite good."
"Inside the penalty area, Dost and Terry were fighting. Dost had the advantage in position and Dost got the first point!"
"Head the ball back to Martins!"
Dost is nearly 2 meters tall, and even a strong backcourt like Chelsea is at a disadvantage in physical confrontation. The Dutchman did a good job of header the ball in front of Martins, and the ball did not bounce.
"what!"
Martins used his body to push Kante away from the side, suddenly accelerated forward, and stepped into Chelsea's penalty area.
At this time, everyone in the Chelsea camp was quite nervous, but fortunately, it was Zouma who was responsible for defending Martins alone, and Zouma's competitive state today was obvious to all.
In the Chelsea penalty area, Zouma rushed forward to defend Martins alone. Martins knew that he was no match for Zouma in physical confrontation, so he changed direction decisively, and Zouma immediately followed.
However, just as Zuma was about to stop Martins, the Portuguese accelerated in the opposite direction, scaring Zuma so much that he quickly stepped out with his right leg.
boom!
Zuma's thigh tripped the accelerating Martins, who fell to the ground.
"shit!"
Jiang Yuan felt something was wrong, and he and Ibrahimovic quickly ran to the referee: "Hey, nonono, it was the No. 77 who bumped into us, it has nothing to do with our players!"
Dost was ready to push Jiang Yuan away, but that was no longer necessary because before Jiang Yuan could finish his words, referee Pest blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.
"..."
"Penalty! Oh my God, Sporting CP got a penalty in the 28th minute of the game!"
"The penalty was created by Sporting's right winger Gerson Martins, but I think it was mainly Zouma's mistake."
"Zuma's reaction to the change of direction was too slow!"
As Liu Jianhong said, the main reason why the home team was able to get a penalty was Zouma's mistake, because in that position, Zouma's main defensive method should have been to block Martins' shot, rather than trying to make a steal.
Because of the series of wonderful performances in the last minute, Zuma seemed a little inflated!
"..."
Zouma turned his head and looked at Courtois behind him. Courtois was also looking at him, and his expression looked like he wanted to bite Zouma.
Others are like gods one minute and ghosts the next, but you are different. You are gods one minute and ghosts the next.
How the hell do you play this!
"Beep beep beep!!"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
There were false whistles on the field. After discussion, Gelson Martins, who created the penalty, took the penalty himself.
A run-up and a shot, a standard lower right corner, plus Courtois himself is not the kind of goalkeeper who is good at saving penalties, Martins' penalty successfully helped the team score the first goal.
"GOLO!!!"
“GOOOOOOOO—LLLLLL—OOOOOOO!!”
"Gelson...Martins!"
As the Portuguese commentator turned up the volume to maximum, the atmosphere in the entire Alvalade Stadium reached its climax.
In front of the visiting team's bench, Mourinho clasped his hands across his chest with a horrible expression.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zouma will be scolded to death by this Portuguese man during the half-time break!
Swah——
After a full sprint, Martins slid to his knees outside the court. Because his calves were relatively short and the contact area with the grass was small, Martins' sliding distance was much farther than that of other players, which had a strong visual impact when viewed from the scene.
In the penalty area, Jiang Yuan put his hands in his pockets and looked at Zouma on the side. The latter touched his nose and finally just smiled.
"O Sporting naceu um dia~"
"I'm so happy~"
"Nos aprendermos ama-lo~"
"ea traze-lo no coracao!"
Portuguese songs sounded on the scene, and Martins' goal allowed the home team, which was originally at a disadvantage, to regain the upper hand in momentum.
Sporting CP currently has a total of 4 points in Group G, and if they can win this game, they will replace Chelsea and become the first in Group G!
As Sporting CP is ranked first in the group after 3 rounds, it can basically be announced that they have advanced to the knockout stage.
In this regard, two CCTV commentators gave the following comments.
"Chelsea must find a way to find scoring opportunities. It is very embarrassing to fall behind away from home because in this situation, the home team can take away all the momentum of the away team little by little and control the game."
“Although Chelsea is the first seed and Sporting CP is the third seed, we also know that both teams are giants in their respective leagues. If we have to compare them... just like we said before the game, Chelsea may not necessarily win Sporting CP!”
Unconsciously, the scales of victory began to tip towards the home team. Mourinho outside the field became a little anxious and waved his hands wildly to signal the players to attack.
At this time, the advantage of the giants' background was reflected. Although they were one goal behind in the away game, the Blues' players, except Zouma, were still in a good mentality. Hazard seemed to be fine. He dribbled the ball and turned around in the frontcourt, and then completed a 5-1 pass in the penalty area under the gaze of 2 people. It was just a pity that his follow-up shot was saved by Patricio.
Because of Zouma's previous mistake, Mourinho asked Marcos Alonso to warm up outside the court, but in the next few minutes Zouma's condition began to improve, so Mourinho had to let Alonso go back first.
Having a player like Zouma in the team, Mourinho couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, because you couldn't analyze his condition in this game based on a wave of defensive performance. He headed the ball away and blocked a long shot in the last minute, and the next minute he sent a penalty directly into the opponent's striker's mouth. The duality of the Frenchman was clearly revealed.
Around 40 minutes into the game, Hazard fell to the ground outside the penalty area, giving Chelsea a chance for a direct free kick, but the position was a little away from the center of the goal, and Jiang Yuan's elevator ball did not have enough strength and was held in Patricio's arms.
"Fuck!"
Jiang Yuan roared angrily, and Hazard and Ibrahimovic ran over to comfort the set-piece player briefly.
The only good news is that it is only the first half, so Chelsea still has a chance to catch up.
"Beep!"
At the end of the first half, there was silence in the away team's locker room. Mourinho and Brown walked in side by side. The two Portuguese coaches stared at Zouma on Jiang Yuan's right. The latter shuddered and lowered his head silently.
However, when the score was behind, Mourinho's focus was to catch up, so the matter of criticizing Zouma was temporarily put on hold.
"I don't know why you are so nervous. There were obviously many opportunities in the front court, but you just couldn't use them. Do you know why? Eden and William, can you two stop strolling in the front? I feel like I can play better than you. Are you still top players..."
Mourinho was giving a speech, and Jiang Yuan felt a strange pressure on his right thigh.
?
Jiang Yuan turned his head and found Zuma looking at him with an aggrieved expression.
"No, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yuan was startled, because looking at Zuma's expression, it seemed that he was not far from crying.
Zuma licked his lips and whispered: "We won't lose like this, will we?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Yuan imitated Mourinho's tone and said, "It's just one goal for them. It's not like we can't win the game, right?"
At this point, Jiang Yuan leaned on Zuma's shoulder and said softly: "Actually, I didn't exert much strength in the first half."
Zuma:?
"When I exert my strength in the second half, the opposing defense won't be able to withstand it."
"Jiang, Kurt, are you two listening to me?"
Mourinho suddenly yelled, scaring Jiang Yuan and Zouma so much that they sat up straight immediately. Even Hazard and Pogba next to them were affected. These two unrelated people were not scared by Mourinho's voice, but by Jiang Yuan and Zouma's sudden reaction.
"Listening, listening"
Jiang Yuan and Mourinho looked at each other, then glanced at their teammates present.
"come on!"
At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho made some targeted adjustments to the team's tactics in the second half based on the reasons for the loss in the first half.
There are no changes in personnel, but in the second half, Jiang Yuan will move to the middle as much as possible, and Hazard will also go to the wing.
4231, the defensive players in Sporting CP's backcourt are not densely packed. Mourinho hopes to break through the defence of Sporting CP through the crossing movement of Jiang Yuan and Hazard.
The idea is good, but the specific effect it can produce depends on the actual situation in the game.
In the 51st minute of the game, just 6 minutes into the second half, Pogba presented an almost perfect confrontation defense in the backcourt. The French midfielder used his body to block Markovic's position, and then decisively passed the ball to Hazard.
"Hazard, turn around, Carvalho is trying to block him, but Hazard is not fast, let's see if Carvalho has a chance."
"Change of rhythm! Hazard used his classic change of rhythm, causing Carvalho's steal to fail. Hazard dribbled the ball and crossed with Jiang Yuan in front!"
"Hazard comes to the left and Hazard is still passing!"
"Oh my God!"
His performance last season was mediocre, but this season Hazard is a real superstar. His continuous dribbling directly inspected the midfield defense of Sporting CP. After a wall play with Azpilicueta, Hazard successfully got the ball to the left bottom line.
Jiang Yuan was not idle either. Because Hazard was on the left side, he stood in the middle of Hazard's position and kept reaching out for the ball.
Hazard looked up at Jiang Yuan, but now Jiang Yuan was surrounded by defensive players and there was no angle for shooting. As the Sporting CP defense line shrank, Jiang Yuan and Pogba also made a cross run. Jiang Yuan, who originally played as a left winger, came to the right. Chelsea now has two right wingers, namely Jiang Yuan and William.
"Look at him!"
William pointed at Ruiz behind Jiang Yuan, and tried to get rid of Zehrar. Jiang Yuan looked back and distanced himself from Pogba.
Putting Pogba in the middle was a very smart choice made by Chelsea in this attack. Pogba's tall stature allowed Hazard, who originally couldn't find the direction to pass the ball, to see an opportunity. The Belgian superstar made an inverted triangle pass in the air, and Schelotto jumped up but didn't touch it.
Although Hazard is famous for his dribbling, his passing ability is really no joke. The ball flew past Schelotto and Coates one after another, and suddenly fell when rushing towards Pogba.
Pogba started to move and glanced at Jiang Yuan behind him before receiving the ball.
!!!
Snapped!
Pogba stared at Carvalho as he jumped, then tossed the ball behind him with a flick of his head. Jiang Yuan, who rushed up from behind, kicked the ball forward with the outside of his right foot and successfully took the ball away from Pogba.
Of course, Pogba was not idle either. After landing, he helped Jiang Yuan with screen and successfully blocked Carvalho who wanted to intercept Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan moved the ball sideways outside the penalty area, looked up and swung out with his right leg.
Shoot with the outside of the foot!
"!"
Patricio was fully focused and jumped out. He was 1 meters tall and stretched his arms with all his strength, but he was still quite a distance from the ball.
“GOOOOOOO—LLLLLLLLL—OOOOOOOOOO!!!”
"Jiang Yuan!"
"Jiang Yuan scored with a shot from the outside of his foot!"
"Chelsea equalized the score at the beginning of the second half. Oh my God, it's Jiang Yuan again. He stood up at this critical moment again!"
"Chelsea 1:1 Sporting CP!"
In the camera, Jiang Yuan jumped a few times after completing the shot, and before the ball entered the net, he was already running towards the left corner flagpole.
Some balls are like this, the player already knows whether the ball can go in or not the moment he kicks the ball.
"what--!!!!"
Jiang Yuan was about to slide to his knees, but was stopped by Hazard who rushed up halfway. The two of them collided directly. Hazard stood on tiptoe and hugged Jiang Yuan's neck: "good job good job good job..."
The directors of high-level sports games are all very knowledgeable about sports. As soon as Jiang Yuan scored a goal, the on-site director turned the camera to the home team fans at the Alvalade Stadium.
Rushing up from the right, young Ricardo Quaresma shot into the far corner with the outside of his right foot.
The diehard fans of Sporting CP remembered the figure of that man in their minds. In the camera, the fans' expressions were dull, and it was unknown what kind of mood the Sporting CP fans were in at that time.
