The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

In the mixed zone, a beautiful reporter in a blazer pinpointed Mario's location.

"The goal was a result of teamwork, what about my celebration?"

"This is a derby match, I was just venting my emotions, I had absolutely no intention of provoking the fans!"

"As for how to view the boos from the Benfica fans?"

"Without a doubt, this proves that I did a good job tonight."

"Scoring two goals against a team like Benfica is no easy feat. I respect their history and every fan!"

"That's why scoring a game-winning goal on such an important occasion is so exciting!"

When asked about a sensitive topic, Mario quickly corrected himself, explaining that as a rising star in the Portuguese league, his public image hadn't yet reached the point where he could still be praised for his brother's dominance even after shooting into the stands.

If the media stirs up trouble and labels Mario's tribute to Rodgers as provoking fans, resulting in a one-match suspension, that would be embarrassing.

Fortunately, the post-match public opinion was kept under control.

"A calm gesture sparks public outcry: Mario says he respects Benfica's history and is simply venting his emotions!"

A tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo: Portuguese starlet scores twice in El Clásico to seal the victory.

5:1! The dragon burns down the summit of Bright Peak, Mario's double goal secures the halfway point of the championship.

From Lisbon outcast to master of the Estádio da Luz: Mario conquers El Clásico in 60 minutes, Manchester City offers €6000 million!

"Too much hype? Mario only dominates the Portuguese league thanks to his long-range shots and Porto's dominance!"

"The new Portuguese player, relying on only one trick, why did he trigger the penalty twice?"

- [Indeed, I laughed after watching the highlights. So-called super geniuses score 90% of their goals by just getting lucky outside the penalty area!]

[Try putting him in the Premier League; someone with that kind of physique wouldn't even have a chance to shoot!]

- [In the Portuguese league, a slow-paced, retirement-style league, any midfielder can rack up stats.]

- [Mario, what kind of class are you? Doing the same celebration as Ronaldo! Young people need to learn to be humble, understand?]

- [He's not just good at domestic leagues, he's also doing quite well in the Champions League!]

- [Exactly, the haters are too emotional!]

- [Fun fact: Mario also scored a long-range goal against PSG in the Champions League. Following this logic, is Ligue 1 also a weak league?]

- [Ligue 1 is indeed not very good. To be honest, I feel that Mario is only suitable for lower-level leagues. His other abilities are only average. At most, he can play as a key player for a mid-to-lower-tier team in the Premier League or La Liga!]

Dude, he's not even 19 yet, and his other offensive abilities aren't bad either.

I think he has a solid foundation and outstanding strengths; given time, he can definitely become a superstar!

- [Haha, is it the skill my teammate said he had in skiing?]

- [What do you mean by the comment above? What does it have to do with skiing on a high platform?]

[I heard that because of this news, Mario's fanbase surged by 100,000 overnight, mostly female fans!]

What are you guys saying? I don't understand a word!

- [Let's investigate the relationship between high-altitude skiing and cows!]

- [Simply put, skiing is very dependent on clothing. At the start of each season, they will specify your clothing size, and the measurement is taken from the lowest point of the athlete's genitals. Got it?]

- [Thanks for the little-known fact, buddy! Turns out I have a talent for skiing from high-altitude slopes too!]

- [It's okay for brothers to lie to us, but don't lie to yourself too!!]

.....

Mario returned to the pitch and was once again in full force. Although everyone knows he has a powerful long-range shot, they still couldn't contain this promising young star.

Firstly, his other offensive attributes are also quite good, and secondly, Mario's teammates are equally strong.

Although press releases sometimes tout his individual efforts, teamwork is actually the real key to his success.

In the fifteenth round of the league, Porto defeated Ferreira 4-0, with substitute Mario contributing an assist.

In the sixteenth round of the league, Mario started and scored a hat-trick to help his team sweep their opponents 7-0. His personal statistics reached 14 goals and 5 assists, surpassing most of the top scorers of the Portuguese league teams!

Meanwhile, Benfica were held to a draw by Braga away from home, bringing the points gap between the two sides to 7 points.

In the 17th, 18th and 19th rounds of the league, Porto easily defeated their opponents.

Benfica were once again held to a draw by their opponents in the nineteenth round of matches.

With the season past the halfway mark, the points gap between the two sides has become increasingly significant.

However, for the Porto players, there was no time to celebrate.

With the Champions League about to resume, they, as group winners, will need to play the first leg away and the second leg at home in the round of 16.

2013 year 2 month 18 day,

The dragon's army has arrived in Valencia, located in eastern Spain.

As the birthplace of Spanish paella, the paella here contains no seafood, only rabbit, chicken, and lentils.

Although the seafood paella didn't live up to its name, the sunshine in the City of Sunshine still shone down generously.

"Spanish girls are so hot!"

I love this city!

Those sitting on the bus could directly feel the hot atmosphere.

It's a pity that they not only dressed provocatively, but also went to great lengths to prevent Porto players from resting.

"Jose, you'll get used to it. This is the away fans' way of acknowledging our strength."

"Here, these earplugs are great. Sweet dreams~"

The thoughtful Moutinho comforted his younger brother and gave him some earplugs.

"Thanks, Spaniards are such night owls, they have so much energy!"

The competition hasn't even started yet, but this kind of rivalry has already emerged in every aspect.

I turned on the TV, and the program was arguing that La Liga completely outclassed the Portuguese league.

As the world's top league, the host has great confidence in La Liga teams.

Valencia, in particular, have been performing well recently. Although they are currently only fifth in the league, they have drawn against Real Madrid and Barcelona at Mestalla, demonstrating their ability to withstand strong opponents at home.

If we manage to draw with the world's top two teams, then defeating the Portuguese powerhouse will be an easy task!

Moreover, Valencia has a better historical record against Porto!

Meanwhile, the Iberian Peninsula's neighbors are cheering on Portugal's sole representative in the Premier League.

As the only representative of the league in the round of 16, Porto bears the responsibility of defending Portugal's football honor in European competitions.

The guests repeatedly emphasized Porto's advantages, one being that as a two-time Champions League winner, the team has a rich history.

Secondly, they have only lost one of their last 11 Champions League knockout matches, and that loss was to Manchester United in 09.

Furthermore, Porto has a record of 3 wins and 4 draws in their last 7 encounters with La Liga teams in European competitions, remaining undefeated.

Finally, the team's attacking firepower is formidable, having scored a staggering 17 goals in their last 6 league matches. In the Champions League, they also boast Super Mario, who scored 5 goals in the group stage, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo!
