There is a dream called football

Chapter 439

"We did a great first half, we defended well, we didn't concede a goal and we only needed one goal, we had 45 minutes and that was enough for us to score."

Ferreira is motivating his players, and the players are really tired. They ran about 30% more than Arsenal in the first half. This is the first half. If you know the whole game, the difference in statistics will be even greater.

This equates to 150 minutes played by Porto and 90 minutes played by Arsenal.

Of course the coach knows this, but there is no way, without the high pressure in the frontcourt, it is impossible to create goals.

"I will not use promotion bonuses to motivate you now, but I think the Champions League is an honor, and it is this kind of football honor that supports footballers from generation to generation, so let's fight for honor."

Everyone also raised their arms high.

"Fight for honor."

On Arsenal's side, Wenger is naturally not so anxious.

"We did a good job in the first half. We should have the ball. The opponent wants to play the game faster, but we can't. We should slow down the pace of the game, which is beneficial to us."

"In addition, of course we should try to score a goal. In that case, the opponent's hope of advancing will be completely extinguished, and the game will be easier to play."

Everyone nodded, this feeling is good, that is, temporarily leading, the mentality does not need to be so urgent, and you can control the rhythm of the game.

*****
Inside the stadium, the media discovered an old friend, that is Mourinho, who appeared at the Dragon Stadium, and looked very relaxed, because Chelsea had already secured the right to qualify for the group in advance.

In this case, Mourinho's visit to Porto to watch the game is basically a vacation, but how could the reporter let go of such an opportunity, and someone immediately surrounded him during the intermission.

And Mourinho is already used to this. Since he appears in a public place, he will definitely attract attention. This is what Mourinho likes very much. He just likes to live under the spotlight.

"Jose, who do you think will advance?"

Mourinho laughed, "It's hard to say, because if I say Porto can advance, then Arsenal will say I bully them, and if I say Arsenal will advance, then I'm lying again."

Haha.

Mourinho is Mourinho, with one sentence so sharp and rebellious, like all living beings looking down on the world.

"Jose, why didn't Porto perform magically again after you? What is the difference between you and the current Ferreira?"

Mourinho still respects his peers. Even if he and Wenger often quarrel, it is a love and killing on the court, and it has nothing to do with peacetime.

So for his colleague Ferreira, Mourinho couldn't criticize anything. He just said: "Do you know? Winning the Champions League requires not only strength, but also many things, such as luck. For example, we played very well in Manchester United's away game that season. It was not only our performance, but also our luck. In fact, Manchester United had the chance to beat us several times."

"So, I think Porto needs a little bit of luck and a group of good players. Then Porto will definitely win the Champions League again."

"luck?"

This answer was beyond the reporter's expectation. I didn't expect that the arrogant and unruly Mourinho would attribute the victory to luck so simple.

"Yes, many times, the result of a football game is caused by luck. Of course, the process can be won through hard work."

"So now Porto has any players you like?"

As we all know, after Mourinho left, he also poached a lot of corners in Porto, so it seems that if Mourinho comes back to dig another corner, there is nothing unusual.

Mourinho smiled, "Of course I can't tell you this, otherwise how would I do it."

After the conversation started, the reporter started to gossip.

"I heard that the relationship between you and Chelsea is a bit tense. The boss is very dissatisfied with not winning the Champions League. He even said that if there is no breakthrough in the Champions League this season, he will change the coach."

Mourinho sneered, "I don't know who said that, but I think he must be stupid. Who would replace the best head coach in the world? If Chelsea replace me, who would they replace? Give me a name?"

"No, you give me five names, as long as you can name them, I can treat you to dinner."

The reporter chuckled, "I don't know, but I think there must be someone. No one can stay out of class forever."

Mourinho twisted his mouth, "Okay, but what I can tell you is that I have a very good relationship with the team. If I don't win the championship, I will still be me. And do you know how many coaches in Europe have won the Champions League?"

The reporter shook his head.

"I won't tell you the numbers, but you can remember that I am one of them."

Mourinho is still so arrogant. Even on the sidelines, Mourinho is still Mourinho. At this time, the players have finished their rest and entered the field one after another. The Porto players gathered in a circle.

"Fight for honor."

"Fight for honor."

……

……

On the other side, Arsenal also gathered in a circle. Henry raised his hand, and everyone's hands overlapped his.

"For ourselves, for Arthur, and for the fans, we must advance to the last 16 of the Champions League. The Champions League cannot be without Arsenal."

Everyone's blood boiled under the encouragement, like a fire. In this case, everyone seemed to need to be mobilized, and no one needed to say anything, just one word - do it.

On the sidelines of the pitch, Wenger was shaking hands with Ferreira. They were both old coaches, and they felt sorry for each other. But the cruel thing was that only one player was promoted in the end of the game, either Arsenal or Porto, so there must be one side that will return disappointed.

The camera moved away from the stadium and showed the grandstand of the Dragon Stadium. After 15 minutes, the fans seemed to be revived again, and the momentum of the stadium not only did not weaken, but became stronger.

"champion."

"champion."

"champion."

Both teams have won the Champions League, which can actually be regarded as the PK of the championship in a certain sense.

In the stands, Mourinho took out a small notebook and carefully observed the situation on the field. In fact, the reporter was right, that is, Mourinho was not just here for vacation, he was indeed here to inspect Porto players on the one hand.

Both Quaresma and Assuncao are in Mourinho's little notebook. He is very interested in these two, especially Quaresma.
