There is a dream called football

Chapter 413 The shadow left by Mourinho

"Our style of football? I think that has never changed, we are Porto and our football is Portuguese football."

Porto has won the Champions League before Mourinho in history, but it is undeniable that Porto's most glorious moment was in 2004. After all, the current Champions League can be compared to the Champions League decades ago.

The difficulty and influence of the Champions League do not know how many levels have been raised, so it can be said that the Porto coach after Mourinho can only live under the shadow of fanaticism.

For example, Boas was later dubbed the title of Mourinho II, but it turned out that he could not reach Mourinho's height at all.

Ferreira is also very clear that when he leads the team to play in the Champions League, this kind of comparison is inevitable, and he has also figured out how to deal with it.

"Will Jose go to watch the game?"

Ferreira laughed and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of Joses in the Iberian Peninsula, and if you add those in South America, I think there should be tens of millions of Joses in this world. I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Haha, of course it's the Chelsea one."

"Then I don't know, I don't have his phone at all, so how can I know if he will come to the game or not."

"Do you mind if people compare you to Jose?"

"To be honest, of course, who would want to live in the shadow of others."

"But just like the Brazilians live in the shadow of Pele and the Argentines live in the shadow of Maradona, I think it is an honor for Portuguese football to have such a good coach, so I have nothing to say."

"Tell me about your opponent."

"For Arsenal, I have a lot of respect. Please believe me. It's okay for a team to achieve good results, but Arsenal is a team that can play their own style. It's very difficult. Many times, we just need to look at the process of scoring a goal, and we don't need to look at the team name to know that it was done by Arsenal."

"In addition, in modern football, it is not easy for a head coach to stay in a club for so long. I really hope that I can stay in Porto for ten years."

"Also, Porto's goal for the Champions League this season?"

Regarding this point, Ferreira laughed, "Maybe the top 8 is a more realistic goal."

*****
"The reunion of the Champions League stars?"

Facing the reporter's proposal, Mourinho sneered, "I can only say that your proposal is stupid. Even if it is a reunion, it will be 20 years later. For example, in 2024, it is only two years now. What is the point of reunion?"

"But now everybody is in London."

Mourinho rolled his eyes, "Do you know how big London is? What's going on in your head?"

"And what am I doing when I'm in London? I thought I was you."

As expected, Mourinho didn't get any news for this little reporter, he scolded him all the time. If such news is taken back, then this reporter might really lose his job and go home.

Emirates Stadium.

Champions League debut.

The stadium with more than 67000 people was fully seated. Arsenal fans wore team scarves and small flags. Everyone was very supportive. In London, although Arsenal’s fans are not as rich as Chelsea, their financial strength is higher than that of Tottenham. Therefore, when it comes to supporting, Arsenal fans are not stingy.

Before playing, in the player tunnel, Li Qiao took a look at Porto. The blue jersey was still so familiar, but he didn't recognize anyone.

McCarthy.

Dreyer.

Deco.

maniche.

Paul Ferreira.

Carvalho.

jorge.

Baia.

Everyone left, including herself. Thinking of this, Li Qiao's heart will still be touched, and the response is the best.

At this moment, Peipei came over and patted Li Qiao, "Hey, I know you."

"you know me?"

"Yes, your picture hangs on the wall in the corridor of the club, you will always be the pride of the club."

Li Qiao chuckled, "Thank you."

Li Qiao and Pepe chatted well, and by the way, they could also practice their Portuguese. My Portuguese has regressed a lot, because at home, Lorinda spoke Chinese with her, and I became her training partner.

In addition, Bosingwa also came to catch up on the old days. In fact, the relationship between Li Qiao and Bosingwa was normal, because at that time, Bosingwa was not the main force, and Porto’s main right back was Paul, so Li Qiao and Bosingwa had little time to match, and naturally there was no friendship.

But in general, Li Qiao's strangeness towards Porto has been greatly improved, which is also helpless.

After all, it will be up to each other to play later in the meeting, and it is not good for Li Qiao to be too touched.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't get enough of this Porto jersey."

"Of course, I don't want to see how much fat you have gained." Sosa laughed.

Lorinda immediately cast a cold look, "Nonsense, my figure hasn't changed, I just weighed it last night."

"Hehe, then you must have grown taller."

Lorinda rolled her eyes again, obviously teasing, because it's impossible for an adult to grow taller.

"Don't make me angry, I haven't watched Porto for a long time, I'm very excited."

This is influenced by Sousa. Lorinda doesn’t like football very much, but going to a stadium in Europe is not just as simple as watching a game. Modern stadiums have food, fun, and shopping. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s similar to an airport.

So in Lorinda's childhood memories, every time she went to watch the game, she was always very happy. Although she couldn't understand it, it felt good. It was a bit like the feeling of celebrating the Spring Festival, and it has been integrated into the memory.

"Dad, I remember every time you tricked me into going to the game, we ended up having a steak on the court."

"Haha, yes, although you were only so fat when you were young."

"Screw you."

"You said at that time that you would never associate with players in the future, but..."

"It's all your fault."

Women are the ones who please themselves, this truth applies everywhere, Luo Linda worked so hard to learn Chinese and like football, in fact, it was because of Li Qiao, her boyfriend.

Sousa chuckled, "I understand. I'm also someone who has been here. People are willing to do anything for the one they love."

At this moment, the passionate Champions League theme song sounded, and the players from both sides came out. Lorinda watched from a distance, but she suddenly stood up and shouted, "Come on, Li Qiao."

With this shout, the people in front turned around and looked over.

sweat.

Lorinda sat down in silence.

"Daughter, you are cheering on each other in the camp of Porto fans, this..."

"do not talk."

The theme song of the Champions League has fallen and the game is about to start. Porto is even more hungry for a victory, because they did not win CSKA Moscow at home in the last round.
