There is a dream called football

Chapter 109 Red and Black Milan

Milan.

When mentioning this city, the images in many people's minds will immediately return to the summer of Italy in 1990. At the opening ceremony of the World Cup that year, more than 100 graceful Italian models used San Siro as a catwalk, which left a deep impression on the world.

And the same goes for two of the city's specialties - football and the fashion industry.

Naturally, the fashion industry does not need to be mentioned. This is a characteristic of Milan and even Italy, let alone football. AC Milan and Inter Milan are representatives of this city.

Red and black and blue and black, these are the colors of football in the city of Milan, and also the totem of football in this city.

When Mourinho led the team to Milan, many reporters were waiting at the airport, because Bolt was already a dark horse at this time, and no one would deny their strength.

"Jose, Jose!"

Mourinho waved his hand, then pushed the assistant coach Mores to the big guy, and he left first by himself.

In Italy, there are many overseas Chinese. Li Qiao saw a little Chinese girl calling him.

"Li Qiao."

"Hi, how old are you?"

"Three years old."

The little girl had nothing in her hand, so she probably didn't want to sign it, and Li Qiao didn't have anything to give her.

"If you can leave me your address, can I promise to send you a jersey?"

"Great."

The girl's mother left an address for Li Qiao, who accepted it.

"Wait for my gift."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" is one of the largest sports media in Europe. It is often ahead of many of its peers in reporting transfer news, and the news is very accurate. It is a relatively serious media.

Their reporter Anthony found the hotel where Porto was staying.

Mourinho still threw Morais out.

"Jose, isn't it good? The opponent is Gazzetta dello Sport."

"Is Gazzetta dello Sport amazing?"

Mourinho just talked about it, of course he knows the influence of Gazzetta dello Sport in the football circle.

Mourinho snapped his fingers, "Just give them a little sweetness."

"for example?"

"Bring McCarthy and Li Qiao, Deco, and let them ask questions casually."

Morris chuckled.

"Why didn't you see the reporter?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to see you."

*****
In a private meeting room in the backyard of the hotel, Morais met Anthony. He had told the players beforehand that there was no need to worry about it. The other party was a serious media, so they should not write indiscriminately. Just say what you want.

Anthony is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, just like an office worker. He looks very formal, which also makes the other party have a good impression.

"It's an honor to interview you."

"It is also our honor to be interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport. Jose is not very well, so I will do it for me this time."

"Say hello to Jose for me."

Closer to home.

"What is the secret to the success of Porto or Portuguese football? Of course the youth training is for sure, what else?"

Morais smiled slightly, "In Europe, Portugal is a small country with a population of more than 1 million. This is incomparable to Italy. You are five or six times our size. It is also destined that we cannot have a league as good as Serie A."

"Our strategy is to cultivate youth training and then sell to the five major leagues. This is our way of survival."

"But there is a difficulty here, that is the success rate of the youth training. You know, the biggest worry in Italy in the past few years is to find the next Baggio, the next Del Piero, but it is very difficult."

Morais said with a smile: "I can't say clearly in one or two sentences, but I am very grateful for the contributions made by the predecessors of Portuguese football. Their efforts have made Portuguese football good from generation to generation."

Change the subject.

"You defeated Manchester United in the last game. I watched the game. It was very thrilling and exciting. In fact, the real key in the end is the away goal."

"Haha, yes, our luck is good."

"Then how do you compare the two opponents of Manchester United and AC Milan?"

"Now it seems that AC Milan is of course a stronger opponent. They are the defending champions and they have an enviable lineup."

Anthony started gesturing with both hands, like an octopus, "Then do you have any way to trap AC Milan?"

"Haha."

Morris chuckled, "Of course, but I can't tell you this for free."

"Haha."

Anthony interviewed Deco and talked about the mental journey of this Brazilian teenager along the way, and then McCarthy, who can be regarded as an inspirational brother. South Africa is not a football powerhouse, so there are not many people who can play in the Champions League.

Finally, there is Li Qiao, who is also a newcomer that Anthony is very interested in.

"I think you're Porto's next source of cash."

"Haha, why do you have to sell me?"

"Anyway, that's how I see it, you're going to leave and leave Porto a lot of cash."

"Well, I'll take it as you are complimenting me."

The interview was very pleasant, except for the regret that I didn't meet Mourinho, Anthony basically got what he wanted.

*****
But soon, a piece of news shocked many people, especially the Portuguese, but it was not published by Gazzetta dello Sport, but by the British Sun newspaper.

The content of the news is that Chelsea has finalized Mourinho to join after this season.

The Sun is a well-known British tabloid. It is famous for its lack of integrity, but it has to be said that this newspaper also has many forward-looking reports, otherwise it would be impossible to survive by relying on nonsense.

Pinto immediately called Mourinho, "Jose, please tell me, this guy is talking nonsense."

"Of course, that's the Sun."

But considering that Mourinho has been unwilling to renew his contract with the team, Pinto is actually drumming in his heart.

"Anyway, playing Milan away, don't let this matter affect the team."

"Don't worry, boss."

Pinto really wanted to mention the contract, but now was really not the time, so he shut up.

Mourinho quickly held a team meeting, saying that the "Sun" report was false and that he would stay in Porto.

"I said I would take you to win the Champions League, I will do what I said, I can't leave Porto, leave this city before that."

Most of the players didn't believe it. It was probably a smoke bomb for bloggers' attention. After all, The Sun had too many misdeeds, and only one person knew that the Sun was wronged this time.

Regardless of Li Qiao, of course he wouldn't say anything.

"Where is my future?"

If history has not changed much, then I might leave Porto in the summer. The most important thing now is to earn enough capital here, so that no matter where I go, people will want it.
