Taking advantage of the Santa Fe team's slight slack, the Portuguese launched a blitz attack in the frontcourt at the beginning of the second half and achieved the desired result.

In this attack, several Portuguese players first used each other to pass the ball to the feet of Harik on the left. The latter quickly advanced to the bottom line and then passed the ball. Although Harik's passing ability is slightly

Slightly inferior, but the accuracy is still very high when there is enough space. Li Zhao decisively inserted in the middle and got the ball first. After taking a few steps forward, he found Leonard in a more advantageous position, so the ball

He passed through the gap between the two opposing defenders.

Leonard had no defensive help from the opponent around him at this time, which may be because the opponent did not know enough about his threat. After getting the ball, he smoothly broke into the goal and faced the panicked opponent's goalkeeper with ease.

Successful shot from the far corner.

2-1, the Portuguese reestablished their lead.

After scoring the goal, Leonard seemed extremely excited and gave Li Zhao, who assisted him, a big hug. This was his first big goal since coming to Brazil, and it was also in the Copa Libertadores, so it has important commemorative significance.

Compared with the friendship between brothers Li Zhao and Wang Ziyi, the relationship between these two cousins ​​is not bad at all. And with Li Zhao as the intermediate link, the current relationship between Leonard and Wang Ziyi is also good.

After that, the Portuguese continued to play steadily, advancing step by step while also paying attention to preventing the opponent's counterattack. Although Santa Fe would launch counterattacks from time to time, most of the time the ball would be directly destroyed before entering the Portuguese penalty area. This is also

As a result, the other party will more often choose to use long-range shots to solve problems.

However, at this distance, as long as the opponent does not kick a magic ball like the one in the first half, Dyna will basically not make a mistake. But if he wants to kick such high-quality goals in a game, it will obviously make such a probability

It was still on the low side, which led to Santa Fe’s repeated attacks to no avail.

After another 20 minutes of confrontation, the Portuguese attack finally worked again.

In the 67th minute, Ronaldinho was tripped while dribbling the ball. As a result, the Portuguese got an excellent free kick in the frontcourt. This ball was still taken by Ronaldinho. With such a player in the team

A master-level free kick expert, he must make good use of it.

After the free kick was taken, Moreno hit the ball first and cleared it, but his header clearance did not go far and was intercepted by the astute Li Zhao. After Li Zhao took the ball, he broke into the penalty area again.

The defender on the left side got rid of the defender and took a shot. This was another magic ball. Under the helpless eyes of the Santa Fe goalkeeper, the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Li Zhao's total goals in the Copa Libertadores increased to five, so after this goal, he naturally continued the performance he had in his first home game.

3-1, the Portuguese finally further expanded the score advantage. The three goals conceded were not due to Santa Fe's defensive problems, but mainly because of the fairy ball. It can even be said that today's four goals fall into this category. Faced with

Even a goalkeeper with a level of goalkeeping skills will often be helpless with this kind of shot.

In the subsequent games, the Santa Fe team did not lose their position due to this, but continued to implement their coach's tactical formation. Although the Portuguese still maintained a good rhythm and strong offensive, they failed to win in the second half.

In the remaining time, he pried open the opponent's goal again.

On the other hand, the same is true for Santa Fe. Although they tried to launch several counterattacks in the final stage of the game, they failed. In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 3-1, with Portugal at home.

The team won a perfect game at home and regained the top spot with the advantage of goal difference. Although it is not a knockout match, and the top spot does not mean much, on the other hand, it also recruited a team that was in good form and full of firepower.

Under such circumstances, the Portuguese team can not be afraid of any opponents.

In the remainder of April, the Portuguese have the final two Copa Libertadores group matches and the next two legs of the Brazilian Cup.

The first is the Copa Libertadores match away to Atenas on April 15. The Portuguese prepared well this time and arrived at Guadalajara, Mexico's third stadium, two days in advance.

The two cities adapted to the venue. In comparison, although the journey this time is longer, the local good climate environment and facilities are very conducive to the Portuguese players to adjust their condition.

After the game started at 8pm on the 15th, the Portuguese were also very lucky. They achieved results at the beginning of the game. Li Zhao assisted Wang Ziyi and scored the first goal. In this way, the Portuguese occupied a very advantageous position.

situation.

As the weakest team in the group stage, Atenas also lost all four games in the previous games and had no hope of advancing. However, they still wanted to give it a final try at home, hoping to create a miracle, so they reacted

They also launched a powerful counterattack.

But their efforts did not lead to goals. The Portuguese were stuck in this regard and would never give them a chance. While blocking the opponent's offensive, they also actively looked for loopholes behind them, and in

Leonard scored another goal before the end of the first half, and Li Zhao also scored a goal in the second half.

In the end, the Portuguese won by three goals in the away game.

After returning to Sao Paulo, the Portuguese team faced the final group match at home at 8:45 on April 22, and finally won Colo-Colo with a score of 3-1.

So far, the group stage of the Copa Libertadores has been completed. The Portuguese advanced in Group A with an absolute advantage as the first in the group, and the other one who advanced was Santa Fe.

The promotion status of other groups is Group B: Corinthians and Sao Paulo, Group C: Cruzeiro and Universidad Rio de Janeiro, Group D: Internacional and Emelek, Group E: Boca Juniors and Wanderers,

Group F: Tagres and River Plate, Group G: National Sports Association and Universidad de La Plata, Group H: Atletico Club and Guaraní.

Judging from the results of the draw, the Portuguese's opponent in the knockout round of the top 16 is the Brazilian Internazionale team, a strong team in the Brazilian League. Its strength is not weaker than any strong opponent they have faced before, but when are they afraid?

Passed.

Just one day later, the Portuguese will compete in the Brazilian Cup again. This time they will challenge the old rival Ituano in the same city. Such an away game is also good news for the Portuguese, which greatly reduces their travel work.

.

Nowadays, the strength of the Portuguese team is no longer the same as that of the same period last year, and the strength gap between the two sides is not what it was before.

The Portuguese were very active after the opening. Not only were they not tired from back-to-back games, but they used the power of yesterday's victory to launch waves of strong offensives. They even made the home team unable to parry for a while and even gave the opposing fans a sense of panic.

It gives the illusion that they are on the road.

After the Portuguese took the lead in the first half, they continued to show off and scored another goal in the second half, and finally won the first round 2-0. Both goals were scored by Leonard, also

Allowing him to achieve his first brace.

In the second round after returning to home court on April 28, Ituano team's hope was even slimmer. Although they scored a goal in the first half, the Portuguese, as the home team, quickly responded and their momentum was lost.

The pressure continued. And the game finally ended 3-1. Li Zhao, Harik and Hu Jinghang each scored a goal. The Portuguese also successfully advanced to the next round of the Brazilian Cup.

At this point, all the games in April have ended. The Portuguese actually maintained a record of victory in these five games, which has become a very memorable milestone.

After the start of May, the more challenging Brazilian League will also start, making the following schedule very busy. There will be more back-to-back games, and there will rarely be such abundant preparation time for them.

Although they don’t expect to be able to reach the end after participating in the Copa Libertadores for the first time, the further the better, at least it will be a valuable experience. The most restrictive thing for them is the depth of the team’s bench. Although the starting lineup has already reached
