In fact, this season's Alvara's performance in the Europa League this season is not good.
Otherwise, they won’t have to meet Leeds in the 16th final-according to the rules, the eight teams eliminated from the Champions League group stage will first be in the 16th final and the Europa League group stage. The second place to fight.
That is to say, Alvara did not get the first place in the group in the Europa League this season, so he can only come head-to-head with the Champions League team.
It's like trying to get the first place in the group, but was forced to play the second place in the group against the blue and white Munich's Catalan United.
It is a sad reminder.
But this does not mean that Alvara is a weak team.
After all, they are the super giants in Portugal.
It may not be competitive in the entire European arena, which definitely does not mean that they will be able to let Leeds get what they want in this game.
This is their home court after all.
"Alvara! Alvara! Oleoleole!! Alvara!"
"Alvara! Alvara! Oleoleole!! Alvara!"
Joao Valente was in the stands like the Alvara fans around him, bouncing around, waving the scarf in his hands and singing cheering songs rhythmically.
Xia Xiaoyu did not sing along, but also waved the scarf in his hand to cheer for his home team.
As a player in the Alvara reserve team, Alvara is his home team. Even if there is his eldest brother Hulay across from Leeds City, his can't be crooked.
For him, the best result of this game was that Alvara beat Leeds at home, but Hulay scored.
Everyone is happy, the best of both worlds.
On the court at this time, Alvara at home really wants to have some advantages.
They launched a fierce attack on the goal of Leeds City amid the singing and cheering of the home fans.
Xia Xiaoyu set his gaze on Hu Lai.
He is at the forefront of the formation, even if Leeds is now retreating, he is always followed by Alvara's Portugal international center-back Bruno Pinto.
This shows how much Alvara attaches importance to Hu.
Last season's Premier League champions, Premier League Golden Boots and World Cup Golden Boots made Hu show the limelight, but it also made him a "targeted target" in the new season.
Every game will encounter the opponent's highest defensive treatment.
It stands to reason that Hu Ge, who is not very outstanding in individual combat capabilities, basically has no choice when encountering such a defense.
But he can still score five goals in the Champions League and 13 goals in the Premier League.
Therefore, Xia Xiaoyu is full of expectations for Hu's performance in this game.
At the same time, he reminded himself that after Hu has scored a goal, he must not be overwhelmed...
"Oh-!" Valente, who sang a song with other fans, said excitedly to Xia Xiaoyu, "It's crazy, if I can play for Alvara in such an atmosphere, That's great!"
Both he and Xia Xiaoyu are reserve players. Xia Xiaoyu was transferred from Flash Star, and he himself transferred to the Alvara youth academy at the age of sixteen and joined the echelon.
But neither of them has played for the first team yet.
Alvara is actually not stingy to give young people the opportunity to play, but they are also the Portuguese giants, the first team is full of talents. Even if you want to give young people a chance to play, it will not be the turn of the two of them for the time being.
Alvara right winger Lesinho, who is now holding the ball on the court, is such a representative.
At only 19 years old, he, like Xia Xiaoyu, is not a player trained by Alvara's own youth training. He is a genius player who was recruited from Brazil by Alvara last summer.
The same are transfers from other clubs, Xia Xiaoyu can only adapt to European football in the reserve team, and Lesignio can become the main player as soon as he arrives in Albara.
This is the gap in natural ability.
In fact, Lesinho and Xia Xiaoyu are not really talented players at the same level-even though they are both dubbed "Genius Boys" in their respective countries.
Lesignio is fast, good at making breakthroughs, and his personal abilities are outstanding. In the World Cup last summer, because he did not take him to the United States and Canada, the head coach of the Brazilian national team Marcos Herner also caused a lot of controversy in Brazil and was criticized by many media and fans.
After the World Cup, there were even fans who thought that if Henner had taken Lesinho, Brazil might be able to beat Spain in the final and win the World Cup.
This shows how talented the Brazilian young man is.
He is definitely not just a European club like Alvara. There are countless clubs across Europe waving checks to sign him, and many of them are rich.
But Lesinho chose Alvara in the end, which is also considered a correct choice. In Alvara, he can get more opportunities and be able to adapt to European football more quickly, laying the foundation for him to go to the giants to play the main force in the future.

"Lesignho took the ball on the right, he stepped on his bike!"
When the stands of the Lisbon Arena saw Lesinho making this action, there was a huge cheer, cheering for him, and at the same time putting pressure on the defensive players in Leeds.
Defending him is the left winger Kamara who withdrew to help the defensive-Clarke ranked 433 in this game. Midfielder Junpei Morikawa started and partnered with Jay Adams, and Pete Williams stepped forward. Center Hulai, left forward Camara, right forward Laski.
As a winger, Kamara is not good at defensively.
When Lesinho stepped on the third bike, he stretched out his foot and tried to stab the football. However, Lesignio took the opportunity to poke the football away lightly with the outer instep of his right foot, leaving Camara stabbed!
Lesignio's foot movements were very fast. Just after he stabbed the football away, he jumped to one side, bypassing Camara, and then stretched his right foot to retrieve the football that was about to roll out of the sideline, and accelerate to take it forward!
"Oh, beautiful!" The commentator of Portuguese TV was cheering.
Alvara fans in the stands of the Lisbon Arena are also cheering.
As we all know, as a winger, Kamara is not good at defensively.
But he is fast!
When Lesinho took the football forward, Camara had already chased it back.
He slammed into Lesignio, who looked thinner than him.
After Lesignio was hit, he barely controlled the football, but he also knew that if he continued to do so, he would not be able to get rid of the Frenchman. Because the opponent's speed is not inferior to his own, and he still runs without the ball.
So he stretched his right leg to make a big trip, but suddenly retracted and knocked the football behind him.
At the same time an emergency stop and turn around!
We must get rid of the unstoppable Kamala!
At this moment, the cheers in the stands of the Lisbon Arena suddenly switched to exclamations.
In Lesinho's eyes, he saw a foot suddenly stretched out from the side, pulling the football!
This time it's Lesinho's turn to make a go!
Damn it! When did he come here? !
"Morikawa!!" British commentator Matthew Cox exclaimed excitedly, "He appeared in front of the ball in time!"
Morikawa Junpei, who pulled the football back in front of him, quickly turned around and separated the football from Lesinho with his body, and then crossed the football to Jay Adams.
After Adams got the ball, he turned and shifted the football to the right.
Laskila caught the ball.
Hu Lai in the middle turned and ran diagonally in front of him, making a response.
While Lesinho was still annoyed by the loss of the ball, Camara had already jumped in from him at high speed and rushed into the Alvara penalty area.
Leeds City completed the transition from defensive to offensive in an instant!
Now the cheers in the stands have been completely replaced by exclamations and boos.
"Chance of Leeds City!"
※※※
Hule took Alvara's main central defender and Portugal international Bruno Pintora to the side to meet Laski.
Laski then passed the football forward to him.
After passing the ball, he speeds up the diagonal cut, and at the same time makes a pass gesture to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai did not hold the ball too much on the wing, he pulled out a central defender of the opposing team, and has done his responsibilities.
So he immediately passed the football back to the Poles.
Leeds City has hit the 30-meter area of Alvara!
Pete Williams met in the middle, and after Hulai passed the ball, he quickly cut into the penalty area.
At the same time behind him, right back Josh Lawler has also been inserted into the sleeve at high speed.
"Be careful! Leeds is very fast from defensive to offensive!" the Portuguese commentator yelled.
His worries are justified, because Leeds went too fast from stealing the ball to launching the attack, and Alvara's players have not fully returned to the defense.
Their back line was also torn apart by the cooperation of Hulai and Laski.
Bruno Pinto had to abandon Hulay at this time, and turned to bash Raski.
Laski stretched his left foot and took a shot, attracting two Alvara players to rush to block, but he buckled the football back, fell to the right, and then pushed his right ankle horizontally!
The football went straight into Alvara's penalty area from the ribs!
"Hu--!!"
Matthew Cox lengthened his voice as if he was expecting something.
The original crosscut Hulai turned and turned when Laski passed the ball!
After letting the football ~EbookFREE.me~ he has adjusted his direction, facing the Alvara goalkeeper Ze Ferreira who moved to the close corner to block the angle, he raised his right foot and shot the goal without stopping the ball!
Ferreira saw the football fly over when he was in the near corner, and it was flying towards his opposite corner-the far end of the goal!
He quickly changed his focus and rushed back, but it was too late!
The tip of his finger may be about five centimeters away from the football.
It was these five centimeters that made him watch the football fly into the back corner of the goal!
"Goal scored!!! The thirty-first minute! Leeds took the lead away! Hu Lai scored his first goal in the Europa League! The first Europa League match, the first Goal in the Europa League! The scoring legend of an efficient killer continues!"
In the exclamation over the Lisbon Arena, Hulai, who scored a goal, greeted his teammates to come up to celebrate, and ran to the corner flag area, shook off his steps, and made his signature celebration!
