Midfielder.

Chapter 158

Although Mourinho did not predict the outcome of the next leg at the press conference after the game, Brito knew that this was just the guy pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, because after the game, Mourinho They have already begun to wonder who their next opponent is.

"My team will not concede 3 goals in a row in France and not score a single goal. The fate of this round has been sealed at the Dragon Stadium."

This is what Mourinho said to Brito in private. According to this guy's personality, it is impossible to lose the second round.

And the state of the entire Porto team is indeed amazing. At such a moment, Mourinho vowed that he would not let an accident happen in the next game.

He will never allow his team to make such mistakes, and now he thinks more about who he will meet head-on after entering the semi-finals.

However, judging from the situation after the first round of the game, AC Milan, which beat Deportivo 4:1 at home, is most likely to become the next opponent.

It's an Italian again. After watching the match between AC Milan and Deportivo, Mourinho had a very headache. AC Milan is indeed a bit too strong.

Before the start of this season, in order to promote the stadium of the European Championship, AC Milan played a friendly match with Porto at the Dragon Stadium.

Although the Porto team did not play with all their main players in that game, the little guys like Lin Yi did not play, and the game was also lost 0:2.

In that game, AC Milan did not attack violently. It was just that Inzaghi and Shevchenko made a small test, which tossed Porto's defense to pieces.

The impact of the Ukrainian made Carvalho helpless, and another beast living on the offside line was even more cunning and scheming, which made people feel terrible.

You must know that AC Milan did not play with all the main players at that time. At least half of their main players did not appear, but this was enough for them to win the game.

You can say that it was just a friendly match, and the players on both sides did not exert their strength, but you have to admit that AC Milan has the advantage in many aspects.

What Mourinho saw was not the simple result, but the well-organized offense and defense of the AC Milan team, which was simply natural.

Ancelotti has trained such a Rossoneri in his own way. With an orderly offense and defense, they have become very difficult to beat.

This is how a mature team should feel, ending the game in the way you are used to in a leisurely pace.

It doesn't give you too many chances, and even if you make mistakes occasionally, you will make up for them quickly, and you won't appear flustered and nervous during the game.

Anyway, from the beginning to the end of that friendly match, Mourinho had a feeling that he had nowhere to exert his strength. It felt very bad and unforgettable.

Not to mention that AC Milan has big-name players such as Maldini, Nesta, and Shevchenko in the lineup, and even their substitutes are better than the Porto team. It only took them a few minutes to destroy Deportivo. By half an hour, this is the terrifying feeling that the powerful AC Milan brings to people.

Although Mourinho led the Porto team to kill Lazio from Italy last season, this time even he himself was not sure.

"If I really run into these Milanese, I may not know what the final result will be." Mourinho said while watching the game video.

This is not Mourinho showing weakness, but for the current Porto team to continuously challenge such a giant team, he really lacks a kind of confidence.

AC Milan is not Manchester United, it has full personnel and firepower, and these teams from Italy are too used to this two-round knockout match.

In the away game, the Italians will definitely not take risks easily. The world-class defense line is simply impossible to leave too many offensive opportunities for the Porto team.

With the current offensive ability of the Porto team, it is indeed quite difficult to open a gap from AC Milan's defense.

A striker like McCarthy probably won't get any bargains in front of Nesta. That guy who even gives Ronaldo a headache is too tough.

The opponent's midfielder is not given for nothing. A partner like Gattuso and Pirlo, even if it is Lin Yi and Deco, it is difficult to bite down.

Coupled with the sharp offensive triangle of Kaka, Inzaghi, and Shevchenko, MY GOD, even Mourinho is scratching his head now.

The 4:1 capture of De La Coruna is the best interpretation of AC Milan's powerful offensive line. Those Italians are quite crazy.

Facing the third player in the current La Liga standings, they can still achieve such a devastating attack, AC Milan is indeed a headache.

If you really meet each other head-on, Mourinho is a little bit confused about the semi-finals now, can he win?This is probably the first time he has asked a question.

When facing Manchester United, Mourinho is confident to kill his opponent, because the Red Devils' defense has obvious loopholes, but AC Milan does not.

It can even be said that AC Milan's back line is basically equivalent to the Italian national team, which is the hardest model in reinforced concrete.

But even if you are worried, there is nothing you can do. After all, what should come will always come, but before that, Mourinho must first go to the away game to win the Lyon team.

In two weeks, when the second round is over, it will be decided who can reach the threshold of the semi-finals. Anyway, the Porto team is bound to win now.

The Porto team is not used to handing over a good situation to others. For them, now is the moment to make history, and they are about to enter the semi-finals.

As for the experience of winning the championship in 86, the current players have never experienced it, but they are creating their own history.

But before the start of the UEFA Champions League, Porto still has two league rounds to play. Mourinho's request is to win all of them and strive to win the championship early.

Porto and the No.2 Benfica team have widened the gap of 18 points, and there are only 8 rounds left in the league, and they only need to win two more games.

In fact, this has long been a result without any suspense. Even the management department of the Portuguese Super League is ready to send the league trophy to Porto.

But Mourinho needs to erase the last theoretical possibility. In both games, he must score 6 points and end the battle 6 rounds ahead of schedule.

The beasts of the Porto team did not disappoint Mourinho. On the fourth day after winning the Lyon team, they killed Ihuaka 4:1.

Brazilian teenager Alberto started the game and continued his wonderful performance in the league. Deco and Lin Yi contributed two assists respectively.

Alberto scored two goals in the penalty area. Maniche and Costinha made contributions with long-range shots respectively. This was a hearty victory.

The opponent they suppressed in the audience only took one shot, but this time, they broke the goal, and Carvalho's ass became the unlucky assister.

After Baia lost the ball, he kicked Carvalho's big butt, "You should find someone to cut this damn thing immediately."

Throughout the game, Mourinho has been sitting very quietly on the sidelines, and now the Portuguese Super League is no longer difficult for him.

If you want to score six points, you will never make any mistakes. This is the dominance that Mourinho wants. Even if it is not the main lineup, the result is the same.

A week later, the Porto team, which consisted mostly of substitutes, was at the home court of Morelense, relying on Alenichev's wing breakthrough, scored a goal in the second half, and easily won the opponent 2:0 , It also completely killed the last theoretical suspense about the Portuguese Super League championship.

Dalley, who came back from injury, responded twice in the middle, and his light push with two feet made him the top scorer in the Portuguese Super League, closely behind McCarthy.

Now the Portuguese Super League's assist and scorer lists have been dominated by Porto, and even the teenager Alberto has risen to fifth place in the scorer list.

The number of assists of Deke and Lin Yi is a few blocks ahead of their opponents. According to their opponents, these two guys are just scoring in the league.

Six rounds in advance and only one loss so far, this is Porto's strong performance this season, they have completed the defense of the championship.

Before the end of the season, they have made their total goal difference reach 54, 2 ahead of No.27 Benfica, fully doubled. Porto's road to defending the title is completely completed by stepping on the bones of these opponents. They dominate the league like hell.

When the title defense was successful, Mourinho did not choose to celebrate, and even the Porto players did not seem so excited. They were very quiet at this moment.

"We have already won one of the two championships we have scheduled, and the next one is the Portuguese Cup championship. I don't want it to fall by the wayside."

This is Mourinho's response to Villarinho. Didn't the fat man say that he wanted Porto to wait for Benfica in the cup final?
OK, no problem, we will recharge our batteries and wait for you. Porto has plenty of energy to play with you. If you can't kill me by then, I will tell you my last name!

Compared with the Porto team, Villalinho will now obviously regret why he had to talk so much nonsense at the beginning, purely looking for trouble.

Benfica is now only one point ahead of the third-placed Sporting Lisbon. Who knows how long such a slight advantage will last, maybe it will be the last round. The main players like Simao and Gomez simply cannot get enough. During the rest time, they must work hard for every game.

The Porto team now has the confidence to say that they have six rounds of rest time. How much chance will the Benfica team have in the cup final?

Villalinho, the fat idiot, always provocatively speaks when he should least speak. This time, it is the same reason.

Although it is said that the Porto team is still unable to win the League Cup, their outstanding performance in the Champions League is already dazzling enough.

It may be the best result for a Portuguese club in the Champions League in nearly a decade, and they are now one step away from a place in the last four.

In fact, it is not only the Benfica team that is hindered by the league schedule, even the Lyon team has encountered the same trouble in the Ligue [-].

Before the away game against Porto, Lyon was still the leader in Ligue 2, leading No.[-] Monaco by as much as five points.

But no one expected that Monaco lost to Real Madrid with a score of 2:4, and Lyon lost to Porto with a score of 0:2.

From the score point of view, there is no difference. It is also a loss, but Monaco has two more away goals, but they are all on the edge of a cliff.

But back in the league, Monaco won two consecutive victories very neatly, but Lyon fell into an inexplicable trough and ushered in a two-game losing streak.

Not only did they lose the game, but the Lyon team also lost a winger like Govou in the game. This is what makes Le Guin most angry.

In the game against Porto, Gevou was considered normal, but now it's better, even the most normal part of his performance is gone.

They were also overtaken by Monaco by one point in the league standings, and even Paris Saint-Germain, which ranked third, was two points away from them.

What made Lyon most depressing was that after they lost to Marseille in the second game, the tens of thousands of Marseille fans at the Velodrome Stadium humiliated the defending champion of Ligue [-] with singing, "You are nouveau riche , can never become a wealthy family, you are a bunch of poor people."

This kind of singing fills every corner of the stadium. Marseille, the former Ligue [-] overlord, is completing its own revenge in such a way of humiliating its opponents.

Can't win the league championship by yourself?It doesn't matter, as long as those Lyonnais can get out of the Velodrome Stadium in embarrassment, that's enough.

"You will never get three consecutive championships, and the Champions League will close the door to you!" This is the roar of those Marseilles after the game.

This is a kind of naked humiliation and hatred. After the two consecutive championships of the Lyon team, the relationship between them and the Marseille team has long been in dire straits.

Even the Porto team once ravaged the Marseille team in the group stage, compared with this kind of hatred in the league, it is no longer important at this moment.

It is not surprising that Lyon suffered such treatment when they lost the away game, but they did not expect that they would lose so badly.

0:3, basically a complete defeat, and just over ten minutes after the start of the game, Govou was injured by the strong Drogba when he was pressing.

When Ge Wu was limped off the field, Le Guan realized that their situation had become very dangerous, and the opponent's attack was like a tide.

Lyon completely lost the fierceness of sweeping their opponents 4:1 at home in the first round of the league. They didn't even organize a decent offense throughout the game.

Juninho's two-footed long-range shot may be the strongest counterattack of the Lyon team, but that kind of counterattack looks more like a futile struggle.

Drogba even ate Edmilson twice in the offense. His two headers were all completed under Edmilson's marking.

Coupe also lost his superman performance at the Dragon Stadium. These two headers flew into the goal by rubbing his fingertips, and Coupe couldn't help it.

Drogba's toughness has attracted too many people's attention. There is basically no suspense for this Ivorian elephant to leave Ligue [-]. Now it is just a countdown.

But even if he is destined not to appear in the Marseille team next season, before he left, he also used his own ivory to challenge the Lyon team.

And Edmilson has become the most tragic figure in the three consecutive weeks of games, and this rear gate has now completely become a big colander.

Aulas may be the first to criticize the team's performance after the game. In his opinion, this is the worst performance of the Lyon team this season.

However, the club chairman's criticism cannot be exchanged for a Lyon team with high morale. Counting the Champions League games, they have already lost three games in a row.

For Le Guin, this is the most sluggish time for Lyon since he coached for more than a year, and the failure started in the Champions League.

It can be said that the battle at the Dragon Stadium completely destroyed the prestige of the Lyon team. They were beaten back to their original shape by the Porto people.

In the ensuing game, they never got over the frustration of that defeat. It was a good situation, but now it's all fucking changed.

Now Le Guon is not only worried about the Champions League game in a week's time, but also becomes depressed after falling behind Monaco in the league standings.

They have already been eliminated in the French Cup. If they lose the league title at the end of the season, then Le Guin will have a very sad life, especially the loss to Monaco will push him to the edge of getting out of class. These two southern clubs He became the new leader of Ligue [-], and became bright for a while.

If he loses to his direct competitor, then Aulas is by no means a generous guy, and Le Guin might be worried about his job.

Unlike the Porto team that won the league championship in advance, the Lyon team now has too many things to worry about, and it is far from as easy as those Portuguese.

Mourinho doesn't care how embarrassing the opponent's life is. The more the opponent loses troops, the better the life of the Porto team will be. Why not do it.

Anyway, when Porto's personnel came to Lyon's Gerland Stadium neatly, Mourinho made a request for his players.

"The 90-minute game starts from 0:0. I don't need you to think about the result of the previous game. Here, at the Gerland Stadium, win the opponent!"

At the scene of the game, Mourinho will no longer think about who he will face in the next game. Winning the game in front of him is the most important thing.

As for how many noisy Lyon fans there are in the Gerland Stadium, he doesn't care at all. Anyway, he will not give his opponent any chance in this game.

reverse?Mourinho has a standard answer to this assumption, NO!In the Porto team's mind, they are the only ones who can reverse others.

When Lin Yi stepped on the turf of the Gerland Stadium, he had only one thought in his mind, to kill the Frenchman here and win the ticket to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

As for who the next opponent is, that's not something he should consider, but even those Italians, he will show his toughness.

Just like the things he did at the Dragon Stadium, Gerland will tremble at his feet this night. . .

Comeback?You ask those Frenchmen, does he believe it himself?
(Hey, watching the Celtics play now, it is so stable, even a little hopeless. A little effort, the game is over.)
