Midfielder.

Chapter 153

The Porto players, who had been excited all night on the plane and did not close their eyes, saw the most touching scene when they walked out of Porto Airport.

Originally, due to the delay of the flight from England, they arrived at the Porto airport at 4 o'clock in the morning, but it was like this, on this very cold rainy night, there were still more than 6000 Porto fans waiting hard at the airport Welcome to the triumphant return of this group of heroes.

At this time, no one remained reserved. Even Da Costa had joined the carnival team in the end, and the airport was full of cheers.

But the price of the carnival this time was that eight people in the Porto team had a high fever due to the cold rain, including Lin Yi.

When this unlucky boy was having a carnival at the airport, he lost his jersey somewhere, and finally he just slipped onto the bus shirtless.

The upper body alone is still a trivial matter, Lin Yi almost lost her virginity at the Porto airport, and among the more than 6000 fans, at least half were women.

And these half of the women are basically from the cheering group of that aunt Lin Yi. Lin Yi was surrounded by the sea of ​​flaming red lips from the moment he got off the plane.

When this kid slipped onto the team bus, he had at least dozens of lip marks on his body and face, and even seven or eight hickey marks on his back.

This made Deco and the others feel melancholy. They swore that after the season, they would go for plastic surgery, and they must come out to meet people in a proper appearance!

The carnival at the airport lasted at least more than an hour, which made most Porto players a little sleep-deprived, and the team was forced to take a day off.

Even when Mourinho appeared on the sidelines of the training field on the third morning, he was a little dizzy, let alone the group of HIGH players.

The price of carnival, but fortunately, at least Mourinho will not need to worry about the Portuguese Super League because of the sudden loss of such a large number of players.

His large-scale rotation some time ago has found too many solutions for Porto. Even if he plays purely off the bench, he may not necessarily lose.

What's more, the Porto team will face the Amadoya team at the bottom of the league this weekend. It is estimated that Mourinho can win the opponent with his eyes closed.

But now Mourinho's mind is not all in the Portuguese Super League, he is more concerned about who his next opponent will be.

With Porto knocking out Manchester United to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the curtain has fallen on the entire eighth match and the eight teams have been finalized.

However, there are not many shadows of traditional giants in the list of the top eight this time, which is different from the previous ones, and there are a lot of grievances between giants.

For example, Real Madrid defeated Bayern, and Deportivo won Juventus. This has made the chances of head-to-head encounters between strong teams smaller and smaller.

AC Milan, Deportivo, Porto, Lyon, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Monaco, this is the top eight list, but there are only three teams that can be counted as traditional giants, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal Na, such a team is a frequent visitor to the Champions League.

"The most ordinary Champions League game", this is an evaluation of the quarter-finals of the Champions League by the outside world. It is a bit derogatory, but it is also very accurate.

Teams like Porto, Lyon, and Monaco can still be considered kings in their own leagues, but in the Champions League, they are more often just playing the role of a group of students who accompany the prince to study, and suddenly become the masters. , It really makes many people not used to it.

More fans and the media are still willing to see more wealthy teams on the list of the quarterfinals. In their opinion, such games are exciting enough.

Compared with Monaco and Deportivo, it is estimated that more fans still love to watch the super collision of strong duels like AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Even those sponsors and TV broadcasters are not interested in such a list, this group of novices means nothing to them at all.

If the contract hadn't been signed, it is estimated that those broadcasters would definitely apply for a return. There are no rich games, and not many people really like it.

Except for the fans of these novice teams who will jump up and shout, it is estimated that not many people will pay for their performances. This is a loss-making business.

At a time when football is increasingly becoming a "rich man's game", the rookies have won the respect of the world, and there will be only winners and no losers in this game.

However, in the football business circle, this group of novices is still those fringe teams, and their various income may be lower than the group stage.

But the Porto team is an exception. The crazy performances of this group of barbarians at the Bernabeu and Old Trafford still aroused the interest of many people.

Especially the black-haired kid, many people are guessing what he will do in the next game, whether that ghostly pass will still appear.

This may be the only second-class citizen who has attracted the attention of those fans. Just because of one little guy, they have a lot of fans invisibly.

It is not yet known who the opponent of the Porto team is, but their home tickets for the Dragon Stadium are already being booked in advance by many people.

For nothing else, many people just want to watch the magical performance of the black-haired boy in the dragon stadium. It is really a kind of sensory enjoyment.

Just like Lin Yi sent two very ghostly passes in the two games against Manchester United, this kid has been remembered by too many people.

What do fans watch when they watch the game?Of course, it is a beautiful goal, and performances like Lin Yi's can win more applause.

It is estimated that even Chelsea, a star-studded newly promoted team, cannot be more beautiful than Porto at this time, because they lack star flavor.

Chelsea is now a quasi-big club, with the Russians cashing in, but only if it wins enough trophies.

Especially since they don't have a guy on the team who can attract others' attention, and the blue team still lacks a factor that makes people crazy.

It's not that Peter Kenyon is reluctant to spend money to buy people, but that Chelsea's acquisitions are so violent that they have frightened many teams.

Superstars like Ronaldo and Beckham are sometimes not something that can be bought with money, not to mention that they themselves are not short of money.

Honor, hope, background, these are what Chelsea lacks now, so Abramovich will acquire talents from all walks of life in such a big way.

Just like the quotation and trading conditions he asked Peter Kenyon to Mendes, as long as it can be bought, he will never be stingy.

Anyway, now whether it is the English team or the European teams, they have positioned Chelsea as a group of vicious robbers.

However, Peter Kenyon, the CEO of Stamford Bridge, doesn't care how others position Chelsea. Every step forward is a victory for him.

If you want to grab something from these traditional giants, then don't care about your own means, throwing money at it is the most effective way.

Do you have tradition? OK, that is your glorious past, Chelsea is not envious, in Peter Kenyon's view, they are writing history.

That is the future that belongs to Chelsea and has nothing to do with other people. One day, Stamford Bridge will definitely become a hellish home that makes people feel horrible.

Chelsea is now a blank slate. As long as they can move on, Peter Kenyon is very satisfied. Quarterfinals? NO, this is just the beginning.

Especially after seeing Manchester United being killed, he has more confidence to fight his old club in public, who makes him a winner.

I don't know if this guy deliberately troubled Ferguson. Anyway, in his post-match press conference, he mentioned Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course Peter Kenyon knew what Lin Yi was doing at Old Trafford, so he took the initiative to talk about the transfer again.

"Chelsea will always open the door to those world superstars or rookies with potential. What we want to build is a century-old club."

"Lin Yi? Why not? We will keep chasing such an outstanding talent, and we will never give up any possibility easily."

I don't know if Peter Kenyon's remarks will continue to cause a war of words between him and Manchester United supporters. Anyway, this guy's goal has been achieved, regardless of whether Manchester United is really looking for Lin Yi. , As long as the market is confused, they will be considered a victory.

However, Ferguson did not respond to Peter Kenyon's provocation this time. Maybe the old man is also busy dealing with internal and external difficulties.

Or maybe the old man has not fully woken up from the nightmare of losing to Porto, and he is unwilling to engage in such a boring war of words.

But this old guy had already called Mendes in advance, and he said a word to Mendes, "That kid, I'm going to make a deal!"

Mendes didn't even have a chance to refute, so Ferguson directly dropped the phone. This kind of forced buying and selling made Mendes very sad.

"Who is begging whom?" Mendes really had nothing to do with the old Scottish man's temper, and couldn't reason at all.

But now Mendes is happy to see these giants fighting for each other. The more this is the case, the higher the value of Lin Yi may be fired.

Especially direct competitors like Manchester United and Chelsea, if they don't want to see each other's strength increase, they will spend money to death.

Personal treatment, transfer fee, these key transfer conditions will be raised by such competition, and Mendes is eager to become like this.

This is a world that needs news, especially those well-known clubs, even if they spend money to buy people, they can be turned upside down by them.

"It's already hyped like this just after entering the quarter-finals? If he enters the semi-finals or even the finals, then this kid will definitely set a new transfer record."

Mendes sat in his living room thinking about Lin Yi's future, but now even he couldn't predict what would happen this summer.

Porto reached the quarter-finals, and they have successfully eliminated a big team, plus the goal of defending the league title.

Except for the league championship trophy, which still needs a few games to get it, all the season goals in Mourinho's notepad have been achieved.

Now they can completely relax themselves to deal with future games, at least for Mourinho, he does not have any pressure now.

Da Costa also told Mourinho that they are already the best regardless of whether they can continue to advance in the Champions League.

Especially after the elimination of Manchester United, the second Porto team led by Mourinho defeated the Amadoya team, which was already at the bottom of the league, 6:0 away.

They ended the Portuguese Super League schedule of that poor team early. After 26 rounds, the opponent only got 11 league points.

Although there are still eight games to play, but they are almost 20 points away from the bottom four. I am afraid that even they themselves have no idea of ​​relegation.

Facing such a team that has lost their fighting spirit, Porto has no pressure at all even if all the players on the field are substitute players.

The young striker Alberto scored a hat-trick, and even Bosingwa, who came off the bench, scored three assists. This is a massacre.

Now Mourinho can easily control any league game, even if the main players in his team are basically in rotation.

This is also the first time Mourinho has played a game with an all-substitute lineup, but he has said before the game that this will be a big victory.

After the Porto team won this game, they have opened a full [-]-point gap with Benfica, who is behind them in the standings.

With eight league games left, they can basically guarantee the league title. This is a result without any suspense.

Even the fat chairman of Benfica, Villariño, publicly told the media that the war between Benfica and Porto in the league is basically over now, and their task now is to keep the No.2 in the league and not let Lisbon The competitive team stepped on their own heads again.

However, the fat man who never admit defeat is still shouting at Porto, his Benfica team will wait for Porto in the League Cup final.

It's just that Mourinho doesn't like to talk to this boring guy anymore. You have lost twice in the league. Will you be able to turn around in the cup?
Now the Porto team has such dominance in Portugal, they will not lose any game easily, even a draw with them is an honor, even the former competitors have to admit this, they The gap between them is irreparable.

But Villarinho can only keep his mouth so hard, otherwise, he really can't explain to the board of directors, where did the huge investment this season go, let alone no breakthrough in the European war, now the league Li has been thrown away by his opponent so much, he is already battered.

If they lose to Porto again in the cup match, it may not be too long before the fat man is completely kicked out of the Benfica club.

As for the head coach Tony, who was once placed high hopes by Villarinho, he was fired by Benfica after the tenth round of the league.

I really don't know what kind of mood those Benfica fans are feeling at the moment, watching Lin Yi and Mourinho who once belonged to them shine in the Champions League, but their own team can only die behind the Porto team Chasing, really fucking is a very ironic picture.

Maybe this is what God meant. He made the world full of uncertainty and all kinds of weird development possibilities, and everything is unpredictable.

Mourinho is now accustomed to such challenges, and now he is most concerned about who the next opponent in the Champions League is.

Three days after the Porto team's league championship was completely out of suspense, UEFA delineated Mourinho's opponents for the eight-to-four Champions League matches.

The Lyon team from Ligue [-], a strong team that is also dominant in Ligue [-], but Mourinho seems to be very satisfied with this matchup.

As long as he doesn't run into giants in a row, that's what Mourinho thinks. He doesn't care whoever they run into with the other four teams.

That is a contest on the same level, whether it is Monaco, Deportivo, Lyon, even if it hits Chelsea, it is acceptable.

It is not a bad decision for Mourinho to be able to draw against the Lyon team now, not to mention that he is not afraid of the French team at all.

But it was when Lyon's goalkeeper Coupe said that sentence in an interview with the French media, "There is no task that the French cannot accomplish."

When Coupe said this, the Porto team members gathered in the team's conference room to watch the Lyon team's game video.

When Lin Yi heard Kupe say this, he couldn't help laughing, "Just this guy, does he really think of himself as Napoleon?"

"Hey, if he is Napoleon, it will be easy. If it is a dwarf who goes to guard the goal for the Lyon team, I can lob it like crazy."

"Hey, then when will you score a goal, kid? Do we need to give you the chance when we take another penalty in the next game?"

McCarthy and the others burst into laughter after hearing Lin Yi's words, but the South African didn't forget to run on Lin Yi's embarrassment of not scoring in several games.

"Your uncle! Don't expect me to pass the ball to you in the next game!" Lin Yi could only threaten McCarthy viciously in order to cover up his embarrassment.

This is the current pre-war mentality of the Porto team. They have no pressure at all now, even if the opponent is a strong team in Ligue [-], so what?

We can kill Manchester United, just as we can kill you!Those who stand in my way die, this is the motto of the Porto team now, this is a group of desperadoes.

Two weeks later, Porto and Lyon will start the first round at the Dragon Stadium, and they will tell the French with practical actions.

In this world, there are still tasks that you will never be able to complete, such as successfully retreating from the Dragon Stadium, this is your fantasy!
That black-haired kid and the lunatics around him have been gearing up for a long time, and the current Porto team is absolutely terrifying.

And Lin Yi is the root of all terror. . .

(What kind of unclean thing did Adelman feed the Rockets today to be so violent?)
