Chapter 138 Exchanging gifts and the Portuguese people who are making great progress

After returning to the club, Li Zhao quickly adjusted his condition back and actively prepared for the next round of the league. However, what he did not expect was that before the 22nd round of the league was about to start,

Li Zhao also unexpectedly received a gift from the Women's Volleyball Team of Country C.

"Coach Lang knew that you went to cheer for them that day, and she felt very grateful. She had originally planned to bring the team members over for a visit, but because it conflicted with her work plan and the distance was inconvenient, she decided

She had to give it up. But she still specifically asked the organizing committee for the game ball used in the finals as a gift to you. Oh, it also has her signatures and the signatures of all our women's volleyball players!" She was entrusted to deliver it.

The person who gave the gift is also a staff member of the Country C women’s volleyball team called Xiaoye.

"Thank you! You probably haven't eaten yet, why don't you go to our canteen to eat first." Li Zhao greeted warmly.

"That's not necessary. Although I still have time to come over and deliver gifts, I also have many other tasks and need to rush back as soon as possible." Xiaoye responded.

"Then please wait a moment. I also have a gift here that I need you to take back to give to them. It shouldn't take up too much of your time."

As the saying goes, it is indecent to come back without reciprocating. Inspired by this gift, Li Zhao also happened to think of what kind of gift he would give them in return.

After a while, Li Zhao handed a football to Xiaoye and said: "I accepted the volleyball, and this football is our return gift. It has the signatures of all the first-line players of our club and the head coach Mourinho. It's troublesome."

You brought it back to them. Also, help me pay tribute to them and say hello to them. I hope the women's volleyball girls can go further and further on this path."

This way of exchanging gifts is also very interesting. It can be regarded as reciprocating a favor in another sense. Naturally, Xiaoye would not refuse. He accepted it with a smile and returned to life with this request.

"Oh, the day before yesterday, we were cheering for the women's volleyball team together. I don't believe she didn't see me. Why was it that only you got this gift in the end!" Han Han appeared at the side and said.

"There is only one ball, and they and I are from the same sports world, who do you think it should be given to?" Li Zhao asked this rhetorical question.

"What do you mean, you said you look down on people in our entertainment industry?" Han Han originally meant to be joking, but Li Zhao's answer obviously made him not want to hear it.

"I didn't mean that. I was just stating a fact. Don't use any kind of circle attack!" Li Zhao naturally knew that he would not be able to gain much advantage by quarreling with someone like Han Han who started his career in the literary world.

Yes, so I resigned myself to it very wisely.

"That's true. Although I may not be well-known, I am involved in a large circle. Not to mention the literary and entertainment circles, I am also somewhat famous in the sports world like you. That's just how I compare with you.

3:1." Han Han said proudly.

Ridiculing each other like this became a common situation after the two of them met, and everyone became accustomed to it after seeing each other more often. The arrival of Han Han's crew brought some new fun to the originally boring life of the players, and even some

Players will also occasionally go to the crew to play a temporary role in their spare time.

Although the crew also had to pay a fee for this, it was indeed at least double the cost of hiring these professional players. From this point of view alone, they have already made a fortune.

In addition to using the team's off-season time to shoot some content, home game days are also an excellent time for them to capture scenes. The Han Han crew, who are still a little new to this aspect, also worked with several radio stations responsible for live broadcasts.

The staff worked together and conducted a lot of screening to finally achieve the best shooting effect of the film.

During the summer trading window, the Portuguese club spent a lot of money to introduce many strong players in the league to strengthen the depth of the bench, and finally made up for the last shortcoming of the team. Coupled with the return of the Li Zhao brothers, they have until

At the end of this season, we were able to maintain the strongest lineup. Therefore, in the subsequent series of games, we ushered in a further explosion in league results.

On February 28th, they challenged the newly promoted Vitoria team in an away game. The Portuguese taught the opponent a good lesson. The home team turned away and the home team was unable to parry. For a while, the gate frequently caught fire. In the end, the Portuguese easily defeated the opponent with a score of 4-1.

In the 23rd round of the league, the Portuguese team was still in good condition after returning to home. Facing the challenge from the mid-range team Cruzeiro, the players showed their composure and finally defeated their opponent 3-0.

The Portuguese continued to advance rapidly in the next four rounds of the league and achieved an impressive record of 3 wins and 1 draw, thus surpassing Palmeiras in the standings and once again reaching the top spot.

During this period, the Brazilian Cup quarter-finals were also held. The Portuguese opponent was the powerful Botafogo, but they still could not stop the Portuguese's progress. After two contests at home and away, the Portuguese

In the end, they defeated their opponents with a total score of 5-2 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The next opponent in the Brazilian Cup quarter-finals is last year's league champion Corinthians. The first leg of the contest between the two teams will start a few days later on September 28.

Although the Portuguese is playing away from home this time, the impact is actually very limited. Since it is a derby in the same city, travel fatigue is naturally out of the question, and there is no need for mobilization before the game. In addition, the stands support both sides.

The number of fans is also evenly matched, so the opponent's home field advantage becomes less obvious.

Not long after the game started, the two sides were already full of fierce confrontations, which is also inevitable in derbies over the years. The Portuguese players rarely suffer in physical confrontation, let alone

As several young guys in the team mature physically, their advantages become more obvious.

On the other hand, Corinthians on the opposite side, during the transfer period at the beginning of this year, several main players in the team were traded, coupled with the departure of Tite, their entire technical and tactical changes have been great. Although it is still traditional

A strong team, but its performance in the league so far this season has been unsatisfactory, and it is currently only ranked in the middle of the standings.

The Portuguese now happens to have two of Corinthians' main players from last year on the bench, so the balance of strength and weakness has already been reversed.

However, it was Corinthians who scored the first goal. Despite facing many problems, they still have many players who can stand up to the challenge, and the strike combination of Rodrio and Romero is in their hands.

The sharpest offensive weapon. In the 26th minute of the first half, the two of them used an almost perfect cooperation, and the latter pried open the door of the Portuguese.

The backwardness in the score did not change the mentality of the Portuguese. Although it has been relatively smooth recently, there have been many fierce battles over the years. In comparison, the situation in front of them is nothing at all, so

They still look calm and unhurried. As the lineup matures, their team is more than enough to cope with any situation that may occur. Since there are no problems with tactics, special adjustments are necessary, but more attention must be paid to defense.

The Portuguese's counterattack came soon. In the 31st minute of the game, the brothers Li Zhao and Leonard used similar cooperation methods to fight back. The latter went straight into the gap in the penalty area and completed the equalizer.

Towards the end of the first half, the Portuguese got another free kick opportunity from a pretty good position. Li Zhao, who has reached a sufficient level in this skill, is now the team's top free kicker, and his free kick

The ball was also unsolvable. After bypassing the wall, it fell at a high speed and suddenly changed its arc angle, entering the net from the bottom corner on the other side of the goal.

This move is a new free kick trick he created by combining the elevator ball and the leaf ball - "Three-Body Meteor". It is said that the inspiration came from the popular novel called "The Three-Body Problem".

The Portuguese still maintained their ball control advantage after returning in the second half. In the 68th minute of the game, Li Zhao scored twice with a "flying meteor" outside the penalty area, helping the team expand the score advantage.

Although Rodrio's controversial fall in the Portuguese penalty area near the end of the game won them a penalty and he took the penalty himself, it still failed to change Corinthians' 2-3 home defeat in the first leg.

the result of.

Winning this victory and having three away goals will undoubtedly make it easier for the Portuguese team in the future, and it also provides them with favorable conditions for a better layout in the second round.

Time has quietly entered October. After easily defeating the mid-to-lower team Coritiba in the away league on October 3, the next 29th round of the league will be a big test. They will
