There were a total of three goals in this game.
Silva came on as a substitute in the first half of the game. Near the end of the first half, he opened the scoring for Inter Milan.
In the second half of the game, after Mata broke through on the right flank, Mata cleverly scored after Cambiasso's shot was saved.
The two young Spanish players each scored a goal for Inter Milan.
Two to zero!
The third goal was also scored by Inter Milan. After the substitute Agüero's pass was blocked, David Silva swung his leg and shot. After the football drew an arc, it hung directly in the top left corner of the goal!
For the 19-year-old Spanish player, this stormy night in Porto belonged to him.
Inter Milan won the away game against the strongest opponent in the group, Porto, by three to zero.
In addition, they had won against Rangers Glasgow before this. And they had won all three games in the group stage against Artemedia in the first round of the group stage. After the results of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw came out, Li Ang arrogantly said that it was a good draw, which caused the dissatisfaction of Porto and Rangers Glasgow. However, now Inter Milan's three-game winning streak gave their manager quite a lot of face.
In the storm, they won the away game against Porto with three goals. Other than Figo's injury, everything was perfect in this game.
In particular, David Silva, who came on as a substitute, scored two goals in the first Champions League game of his career. Both were wonderful and could be said to be "famous in one game."
And because of David Silva's excellent performance, Li Ang was not so anxious about the veteran Figo's injury …
*****
After the game, Li Ang hugged the inexplicably excited David Silva and congratulated the young player on his excellent play and performance today.
Then he saw David Silva looking around with a disappointed look. He could not help but ask curiously.
"What are you looking for?"
"Boss — I want to keep the game ball as a souvenir," David Silva said. He had learned to address Li Ang as "boss" from Mata. Little Mata had proudly told his compatriots that this title represented his close relationship with Li Ang, and that he was a true direct descendant.
The smart Silva had always admired Li Ang for leading Sporting de Gijón to the La Liga championship last season. Now, Li Ang had directly brought in Silva, a young man who had previously been loaned out by Valencia to play in Spain's Segunda División. This made Silva feel as if he had been spotted by a talent scout, so he immediately followed suit. Li Ang did not have any objections to this. Silva was a good lad who took the initiative to approach the organization.
"Wait a moment," Li Ang said to Silva, then turned and left.
Subsequently, little Silva watched the team's manager catch up with the referee, who was about to enter the players' tunnel. He spoke to the referee, then took the football from the manager's hands and walked back with it in his arms.
"Here you go!" Li Ang smiled and handed the football to Silva. "Do your best, lad!"
Looking at the smiling manager, little Silva could not help but feel moved.
"Thank you, boss!"
This football was later treasured by David Silva. After that, he deliberately asked Li Ang to sign the football as a souvenir of the most important game in his career.
*****
After returning to Milan from the rainstorm in Porto, the Inter Milan team was warmly welcomed by the fans of the Nerazzurri at Malpensa Airport.
The game against Porto was not easy. Porto was the strongest opponent in the group stage, and the weather conditions for the game were particularly bad. The rainstorm came suddenly, and the temperature dropped significantly. The fans in front of the television saw the players struggling in the pouring rain. Slipping and falling during the game were common occurrences. Moreover, the opponent was more familiar with the stadium and the local weather than Inter Milan. In such a bad environment, Inter Milan defeated Porto with three goals in an away game and won three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage. This was a remarkable thing.
And the 19-year-old David Silva, who came on as a substitute in this game and scored two goals, became the biggest contributor to Inter Milan's victory in this game. He also became the focus of everyone's discussion after the game.
At the airport, there were already fans holding up David Silva's number 20 jersey and shouting his name.
The reporters even surrounded the shy young Spanish player to interview him.
When Li Ang bought David Silva, many Italian media were discussing it. They did not understand why Li Ang bought such a young player who had only been loaned by Valencia to play in the Spanish Third Division for a season.
They had always been skeptical of David Silva's ability and future.
And David Silva also wore the number 20 jersey left behind by the Uruguayan star player, Recoba. This made some media and fans always compare David Silva and Recoba.
Later, David Silva had very few opportunities to play in the league. He was only given two chances to come on as a substitute, and the total time he played was less than fifteen minutes. With so little time on the field, David Silva naturally could not have any outstanding performance, which attracted more ridicule from the media.
On the one hand, they questioned Li Ang's vision. On the other hand, they questioned David Silva's ability.
However, in the game against FC Porto, this young player, who was previously questioned, came on as a substitute and scored twice. Both goals were brilliant, and he could be said to be Inter Milan's most outstanding player in the game. He performed a real-life version of "becoming famous in one game!"
The media seemed to have forgotten their previous doubts about Silva. They were full of praise for the young player's performance. Of course, they did not forget to praise Li Ang's good vision.
*****
Looking at Silva who was surrounded by the media and at a loss of what to do, Li Ang held back his laughter and went up to rescue Silva from the crowd.
"Remember, David, keep a normal heart. This is very important to you. Don't be confused by the media's words. " Li Ang advised the young player. "If you perform well, they will praise you like a flower. However, if you perform badly in the next game, the same people will criticize you mercilessly."
"I understand, boss." Young Silva nodded hard.
"This young man is not bad." Then, Banderas said to Li Ang.
Li Ang nodded proudly. How could the player he had his eyes on be bad?
However, he then saw a little guy who was a little lonely and lost among the players.
It was Aguero. The young Argentine player looked at Silva with some envy, and then drooped his head dejectedly.
Li Ang frowned and smiled bitterly. Now, it seemed that he had to play the role of a psychiatrist again.
