Failure FC Porto in the 2013-14 season made the supporters dissapointed. For big team likePorto, ending the season in third position Protugal League standings, behind Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, is not easy to be accepted. Bad for porto the failure is transmitted not only in the league. Porto also failed in the Portuguese Cup and League Cup.
Finally, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, the president of Porto, taking firm steps. He plans to reform his team at that time had changed the coaching reins from the hands of Paulo Fonseca towards Luis Castro in the 2013-14 season.
Welcoming the 2014-15 season ago, the president boldly bring Julen Lopetegui, young coaches who have a lot of experience in big teams especially outside Spain. Track record only ever deal with the B team of Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid Castilla and the Spanish national team's young squad only. However, to capitalize title U19 and U21 European Championship, president Nuno Jurge very confident recruited.
It was reflected from the introductory press conference when the Spanish coach. He said: "We are very pleased to present a new coach who did not have to be introduced again because he (Lopetegui) has been known for its success with young Spanish national team.".
That's why we offer a three-year contract to Lopetegui because we want to build a solid squad and will bring to the habitat (champion) we embrace ever before," added the president, as quoted from page Fourfourtwo.
Lopetegui translate the ambitions of the president in his own way that brought players of Spain, or even to ever play in the Spanish league to meet the target. There were seven original Spanish name of the player that hebring to De Dragao, Porto headquarters. The rest he brought outfielder Spain ever tasted Spanish League.
Porto spain squad experiment from Lopetegui apparently not bring positive results in the first season. Finish in second place, has never won at Derby O'Clasico (vs Benfica) and destroyed by Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final with a score of 6-1 was clearly not a good start for Lopetegui in Porto.
Perhaps, things he could be proud of is when Porto beat Bayern in Do Dragao with a score of 3-1 and one more when he fought his self-esteem and self-esteem Porto when clashed with Jorge Jesus, the Benfica coach in the game last season-ending O'Clasico 0-0. He loudly advocated that Porto tried to play attacking to win and the other team (Benfica) only play for a draw.
Now the second season in Porto, Lopetegui continued to build his ambitions to take Porto to the championship ladder. His passion for bringing Spanish players into the squad Porto continues. Now turn to the talented Alberto Bueno and the most fantastic of course the arrival of the icon and captain of Real Madrid, Iker Casillas, as the latest recruits Lopetegui of his hometown.
Iker Casillas would have to consider carefully move towards Portugal. Because, if you see the state of the Porto squad now, especially from the aspect of quantity goalkeeper, Porto now has five goalkeepers (including Casillas himself).
In the experience of playing, Iker is certainly more feasible to play as the main goalkeeper Porto and led his colleagues from the underside of the crossbar. However, as the main goalkeeper Helton Porto last season, when shifted its place by Iker? Of course this is one of the homework for the coach, Lopetegui.
Spain method from Lopetegui also put into practice in how to play Porto in the last season. The dominant control of the ball to create opportunities and aggressive when attacking character is trying implanted the coach who once defended Barcelona and Real Madrid as a player.
In terms of statistics, the characters are very subtle. In the Champions League last season, Porto, including five of the most widely team had the ball with the average percentage of 56.3%. They have only lost records from Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal and Real Madrid.
Even so, he always stressed to his players about the effectiveness of ball mastery. He said, "When we have the ball, ideally we will play attacking and opponents only able to survive. The problem is how do we take advantage of the ball, where your position when getting the ball and how can you get the ball. "
He also said, "It seems that the theory says that when we had the ball, then we have a chance to win the game. However, there is no mathematics in football. You have to be more aggressive in control of the ball and combined with the style of attacking play. Naturally, different opponents,, then different approach to attacking the opponent. "
Thus, Lopetegui have a fairly clear vision. Jackson Martinez's departure will certainly be a problem of its own because Jackson Martinez is a top score of Porto last season. But the loss of Martinez already anticipated with the arrival of Alberto Bueno from Rayo Vallecano.
Recruits this season are likely to be met by the midfielder indicated accumulate Porto will play central midfield mainstay creative with a 4-5-1 formation for smooth circulation of the ball when they build an attack. However, for the record, Lopetegui must bring down an attacker who is optimistic striker becauseAlberto Bueno alone is not enough.
Perhaps, with the arrival of Casillas's status as an icon and captain of the Spanish national team, this is the highest peak of Spain level from Lopetegui method in Porto squad. However, it is possible also Lopetegui will continue to increase the strength of his team with a glance at the next Spanish players, or at least players who have tasted the atmosphere of La Liga.
The feeling, maybe the championship title just a matter of time for them. At the very least, the domestic league title missing from them during two seasons back will return home.
