Midfielder.

Chapter 152 159
I really don’t know how many England fans will tear up the lottery tickets they bought at the gaming company after the match between Porto and Manchester United. Anyway, before the start of the knockout round, those football commentators who agreed that Manchester United would pass easily I really lost my face.

Originally, they thought that the top three in the Premier League would pass smoothly, but now they have been completely subverted by the Porto team with their crazy performance.

The Porto team used one of the biggest upsets to tell everyone that they exist.These crazy Portuguese have reached the threshold of the quarterfinals.

And these crazy guys made Manchester United miss the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in nearly eight seasons. This is undoubtedly a great miracle.

Of course, this is only for them. For Manchester United supporters, Old Trafford played out a nightmare tonight.

It may have been a long time, and Old Trafford has never been so quiet after a game. Those dejected fans left with their heads downcast.

Winning twice in two rounds, Porto used practical actions to teach the experts a lesson this time. Traditional giants are not omnipotent in the Champions League.

At least in front of them, these great giants look very embarrassed, Real Madrid was the first, and now Manchester United is the second.

It is estimated that before the start of the next round of competition, no expert will be willing to predict the future of the Porto team, because those Portuguese are too crazy.

From the beginning of the group stage, these lunatics have made countless people fall through their glasses. It seems that they really want to keep going crazy like this.

After the match against Porto, at the press conference, basically all the questions were directed at Ferguson, who was in a bad mood.

Mourinho, the winner, became a foil instead. Obviously, the English media had no interest in this unknown guy at all.

Even if he can win Manchester United so what?Could he be more newsworthy now than Ferguson?It was just a game, he was not a world-class coach, and the Porto team just broke into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Ferguson was the central figure in this press conference.

Especially recently, there have been constant turmoil about this old Scottish man, and the current failure shows that Manchester United has reached the edge of a cliff.

This may be the treatment of the rich. Even if they lose, they never lack attention. They are always the front page headlines in the newspapers.

Why do you lose the game when you are in the lead?This is the most asked question by everyone, but Ferguson did not respond to this question directly.

Anyway, Ferguson is very clear that at this time, he is a character that everyone criticizes, and someone on the side of the loser must bring a scapegoat.

It's just that this time he took on the role himself. Ferguson, who is used to being a winner, tasted the bitter taste of a loser for the first time.

Especially knowing that the other two Premier League teams have successfully passed the test, Manchester United undoubtedly once again stood on the cusp of the media.

Given his recent spat with the BBC and Sky, another frenzied rebuttal will be in tomorrow's papers.

Why didn't Ronaldo start the game?Why did Saha sit on the normal bench?To leave two players with a combined value of over £500m idle in such a crucial game?Is this a common sense thing?It makes us unable to trust our own judgment - The Sun

Such views have been listed on the official website of "The Sun" before the game is over, and it is not one of them.

As for the counterattack by the BBC and Sky TV, Ferguson believes that tomorrow morning's newspapers and TV programs will become the main battleground for reprimanding him.

Compared with the war of words between the media, Ferguson is probably more concerned about the news from the team's shareholders and the board of directors in the next few days.

Whether those two Irishmen would take this opportunity to trample him to death was what Ferguson was most worried about. After all, those two guys were the big threat.

At this time, Ferguson can only be more open-minded. Anyway, he has already lost, so it is better to be honest, "We will always encounter some blows in life, but I don't think this moment has come. We will set our sights on 4 Go to the semi-finals of the FA Cup in June."

Anyway, both the UEFA Champions League and the league are lagging behind. Ferguson might as well burn the damned war to the game one and a half months later in advance.

But the media has lost confidence in Manchester United this season: "The FA Cup? What stands in front of you is Arsenal, which has not yet lost!"

For such questions, Ferguson chose to remain silent, mainly because he didn't know what to say to these people, did he predict the future?He was not in the mood.

Anyway, he still has one and a half months to use. At this time, Ferguson really hopes that Arsenal can continue to be strong in the Champions League.

In this way, Arsenal, facing a third-line battle, will definitely be physically overwhelmed. Perhaps this will be good news for Manchester United.

If you want to scold now, you can scold quickly. When the final result can no longer be changed, the old man is not afraid. Besides, it is not the first time that Ferguson has been subjected to such a collective bombing. An old guy in such a football world , There will always be his own survival skills.

However, after the game, the old man came to the dressing room of the Porto team with Gary Neville in a very gracious manner to express his congratulations.

After losing the tactical arrangement, the possibility of promotion, and the shameful loss of two games, Ferguson didn't want to lose his demeanor again.

Especially when facing Mourinho, Ferguson doesn't want his opponent to be one step ahead of him in every aspect, which will make him difficult to accept.

"Congratulations to you and your team. In 180 minutes, you performed far better than us. You deserve this victory."

At the press conference of the previous game, Ferguson deliberately ignored Mourinho's extended hand, but this time in the dressing room at Old Trafford, Ferguson extended his hand. The old Scottish man expressed his respect for the winner in this way.

Although the old man took the initiative to show friendliness at the moment, no one knew what the old man was thinking, expecting him to bow his head?That was dreaming!
This time Mourinho was still the winner, but when he held Ferguson's hand, he could clearly feel that the old man still had no intention of admitting defeat.

"I hope there will be more chances to fight in the future. I don't want to lose to one person many times in a row. Maybe next time our roles will be reversed."

Although the Champions League game is over, Ferguson has already made a call to Mourinho in advance, and he has a hunch that this guy will definitely come to England.

Mourinho didn't say anything, just responded with a smile, but this guy may already be looking forward to the next meeting between the two at this moment.

From the side, Lin Yi saw the uncle and the old man smiling but not smiling. It was the first time he really knew what hypocrisy was.

However, this old and cunning guy did not forget to accompany Mourinho before he left. He invited Lin Yi to play for Manchester United in front of Mourinho. According to the old man's words , when summer comes, he will absolutely do whatever it takes.

"As long as Da Costa lets go, I will welcome you on behalf of the city of Manchester. I believe you will love Old Trafford."

"As for the personal conditions put forward by Mendes, I think the Manchester United team should be fully satisfied. I hope you can stand in front of me in a few months."

"Uh..." Lin Yi looked at the smiling old man, and really didn't know what to say at the moment, this is definitely a master of hiding a knife in a smile.

Especially when Ferguson patted Lin Yi's shoulder affectionately, Lin Yi suddenly had a feeling, why does the old man in front of him, at this moment, look so much like a child-abducting trafficker?It felt simply too dangerous.

Until Ferguson left, Lin Yi was still a little dizzy. He really didn't know if the old man was dazzled by the failure. Even if he talked about the transfer, he didn't have to talk about it in front of the whole locker room!What's more, Lin Yi himself doesn't care about these things at all, isn't this clearly trying to sow discord!
Of course Lin Yi didn't know what the old Scottish man was thinking, but Mourinho knew that his opponent was blatantly poaching.

Mourinho has nothing to do to stop Ferguson's blatant recruitment. Anyway, the topic about Lin Yi will never end.

That's how this kid recruits people. Now it's not just Ferguson who has his eye on him, there are at least seven or eight teams who want to pay a lot of money to sign this little guy.

It is estimated that Lin Yi himself does not know how to answer the other party's invitation, refuse?Who knows if Mendes will accept Ferguson's offer.

After all, the old man dared to extend the invitation in front of so many people, so what he said at all costs may not be just casual talk.

Since Ferguson dared to spend 1700 million euros to buy a newly famous Ronaldo, he will definitely use more funds to acquire Lin Yi on a large scale.

Even if Da Costa doesn't want to sell at that time, Mendes will not agree, not to mention that they already have a private agreement. After this season, as long as there are teams from the five major leagues asking Porto to buy Lin Wing, Da Costa will not stop it.

Mourinho knows that Mendes is a very pure businessman, as long as he thinks it is beneficial to Lin Yi, he will never refuse.

promise?It is estimated that even Mourinho would not agree to it, but he trained it himself. Would he be willing to give Lin Yi to others?Don't even think about it!
Otherwise, Mendes would not have hesitated so much when replying to Chelsea, because he is also aware of the interdependent relationship between the beast master and apprentice.

But Mourinho himself still doesn't know where he will end up next year. Will he continue to stay in the Porto team?Mourinho can't tell either.

For the Portuguese League, Mourinho has nothing to pursue. There is basically no suspense to win the league championship. Even if he wins the Portuguese Cup, there is only one game left. After defeating a team like Manchester United, Benfica is no longer a problem.

According to Brito's words, against a team like Benfica, the Porto team can completely spare half of their arms and don't need to do their best.

It's not that Brito is talking big, but that the Porto team has this strength. In the current Portuguese league, they have no opponents at all.

Now the Porto team is in a solitary attitude in the Portuguese Super League. There is no team that can really beat them.

As long as they are serious and with a little bit of luck, it is not a difficult task to win the league with an undefeated record.

Mourinho knows that in the football world, don't be obsessed with past success forever, just like players, if there is no progress, it is regress.

Now he is the best coach in the Portuguese Super League, but in a few years?If you stay in Portugal, you will never become a world-class coach.

Just like those players who must go to the five major leagues after becoming famous in Portugal, Mourinho also has his own ambitions. He needs more intense competitions to temper himself. He needs to have more confrontations with world famous coaches and go out from Portugal , which is an inevitable result.

Just like Mendes is running for Lin Yi's future, Portugal is destined to be a transit point for Mourinho and Lin Yi, and they will eventually leave here.

But regardless of which club Mourinho will choose, Lin Yi will not give up. This is an important puzzle for his success on the court.

Ferguson's visit and congratulations are just a small episode after the game, and will not affect the carnival of the Porto people, especially those crazy Portuguese fans. For the first time, they can sing loudly about their club in front of the English fans. For them, it is dreamlike.

Although Mourinho and the others are far away in England, his wife has already called and told him that the entire city of Porto has now fallen into madness.

Those die-hard fans of the Porto team, at the end of the game, all wore the team's traditional blue and white striped shirts, held high the Porto team flag and commemorative scarves, walked out of the house, flooded the streets, and shouted loudly. Rinho and club president Da Costa's name.

However, Lin Yi was the name most yelled by those people. Tammy even teased her husband and asked if Mourinho would feel jealous.

At least 10,000+ Porto people joined such a carnival party. They cheered uncontrollably and wildly celebrated the team's victory over Manchester United, an obstacle that seemed insurmountable before the game. Back to that night in the UEFA Cup.

"José, if you bring the Champions League back to Porto one day, maybe this crazy crowd will think of you as God."

"I'll never be God, but I'll try to win until the end, there are five games left, maybe me and my team can do it."

Listening to Tammy who was very excited on the other end of the phone, Mourinho has now locked his target on Schalke, which is the end.

The craziness of the fans was simple, they were just venting their emotions, but the way club president Da Costa celebrated was just as crazy.

100 million euros, this is the cash check he issued in front of everyone on the flight back to Porto on the night of the game, and the winning bonus for the two games, this is what he promised, only However, it has risen from the original 50 euros to 100 million euros.

"Boys, I'm waiting for you guys to really drain my checkbook. This is your reward for reaching the quarterfinals. I promise more in the future."

A very generous bonus, which made the entire cabin filled with cheers from the Porto players, who were praising the generosity of the boss.

"Boss, our prize money for the final is 300 million euros." Lin Yi didn't forget to run on Da Costa at this time.

"No problem, as long as you can get back the European Champions Cup, I will fulfill my promise." Da Costa is now quite bold.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, it's after tax." Lin Yi's next sentence almost choked Da Costa to death, after tax! ?You want me to die! ?

Lin Yi now looked at Da Costa with a sly look on his face, but this time the boss who was very forthright just now made a very wise choice to be cowardly.

With a bonus of 300 million euros after tax, it is estimated that the Porto team's transfer funds will be halved next season, otherwise he will really go bankrupt.

Although this is just a small prank by Lin Yi to run on his boss, but Da Costa's generosity in money cannot be ignored.

This is not an impulsive decision made by Da Costa. He understands that he cannot be stingy at this time, especially after entering the Champions League knockout round.

What's more, he only paid 100 million euros, but the Porto team's gains in these two games have far exceeded what he paid.

Only relying on the two home and away games against Manchester United, Porto has earned nearly 300 million euros from appearance fees, winning bonuses and ticket sales.

And so far, they have successfully pocketed 500 million euros by participating in this season's European Champions Cup.

For stocks, Da Costa has not counted the gains in the capital market. He can guarantee that the stocks of the Porto team will skyrocket after the market opens tomorrow.

At this time, Da Costa is willing to invest, and every step of the Porto team in the Champions League can bring millions of euros to the club.

He didn't know what the final result would be. Anyway, when everything was on a good track, he dared to spend a lot of money to buy people's hearts.

The quarter-finals, this was originally an unattainable goal for Porto, but when it was actually realized, everyone's desires began to swell.

Let's go crazy and win!Nothing is impossible in this world, go to Schalke?Now, that is no longer a dream!

Lin Yi looked at the night sky outside the cabin, stretched vigorously, and ended a crazy night. He enjoyed the joy of winning.

next opponent?Love whoever you want, anyway, no matter who you are, you have to win!This black-haired kid is becoming everyone's focus!
(There's been a lot of news about the Heat lately... The little emperor even wants his jersey to be retired by the Cavaliers... This... is a naked provocation? Just for Friday's game, he wants to enjoy more The boos? Now the little emperor has been completely demonized, great media, thank you for your tireless efforts...you have proved that whether you want to praise people or want to destroy people, you can do it.)
