Watching their opponents take away tickets to the UEFA Cup final at their home court, although this result had been accepted by many Italians before the game, the scene of Porto's crazy celebration on the spot still made many Italians feel unhappy.

Even at the end of the game, those radical Lazio fans had a very serious physical conflict with the Porto supporters who came from afar. Just like England breeds football hooligans, Italy has never lacked this kind of thing. Scum on the sidelines.

As for how UEFA will punish the unlucky Lazio team, that is a matter for the future. At least during the post-match interview, Mourinho did not embarrass Mancini too much. He even took the initiative to get up and talk to him. The other person shakes hands.

But this is not a comfort to Mancini. In his opinion, it is just a mercy of the winner to the loser, but now he has nothing to say. The game has been lost. What he has done The promises have all turned out to be a bunch of nonsense.

Regardless of whether Mancini is willing to admit this, he must say that Lazio has missed the UEFA Cup final, but this guy still said at the end of the press conference that if the penalty kick was scored, maybe the Blues The Eagles will complete this great comeback.

Mourinho did not respond to Mancini's statement. Anyway, he will not be idle and assume these things. The game is like this. After 90 minutes, you only need to look up at the score on the big screen. No one cares about how you perform during the game.

Mourinho will never do such a stupid thing as winning the scene and losing the championship. Today, he is here to be a winner, and he still hopes to continue to sit in the next finals. In the winner's position.

The hapless losers have left dejectedly. Now there are only two teams left in the UEFA Cup finals. Whoever can defeat their opponents and lift the trophy after 90 minutes will have to wait until the night of May 21st. Revealed at the Stadio Olimpico in Seville.

Just five minutes after the game against Lazio ended, Mourinho had already received news from his assistant coach Brito that another game was over. The opponent Porto was going to meet in the final had already been locked.

The most anticipated Portuguese Super League derby in Portuguese football did not take place in the UEFA Cup final. The Boavista team, which also belongs to the Porto region, failed at its home court and scored an away goal. Lost the game.

The Celtic team from Scotland killed Boavista at their home ground and saved the last spark of English football.

"The coach of Boavista is an idiot. One away goal made him dizzy. They gave up the desire to control the ball throughout the game and were attacked by their opponents in their own half. 80 minutes, how can we not lose in such a game!”

"The Italians lost to us because they gave up the right to control the football, so we were able to complete that comeback. Now Boavista has proven this again. The initiative to control the game must not be given to you. opponents, otherwise they will suffer.”

Mourinho watched the video of the entire game between Boavista and Celtic on the plane back to Porto. The Boavista team that once played offensive football against him in the derby, They completely disappeared in this game. They had almost no shooting opportunities in the whole game.

After guarding the goal for nearly 80 minutes, they finally began to collapse. An accident in the defense in the middle made the Boavista team's efforts in the first 80 minutes in vain. In the 80th minute, Larson tried to connect with his partner Hartson at the front of the penalty area. In a one-two match, Boavista defender Anu Nsiaka intercepted the ball midway. The ball hit his foot and bounced to Larson's foot. Larson scored with his left foot.

Perhaps this is the most common accident on the football field, but Mourinho knows very well where this old rival lost. Boavista really wants to enter the final, but this heavy shackle has tied its hands and feet. , that away goal became their nightmare.

This goal is just a microcosm of the Scots' non-stop offense throughout the game. They have had many opportunities in a row before, but they have been unable to knock on the door of Boavista. This most unexpected opportunity brought The goal came, and the Boavista team did not lose unjustly.

"Had we not won the Italians at home with a big score, maybe we would have made such a mistake. After all, the temptation of the final is too great, especially for a small team. Their desire for European glory may not be enough. surpassed us."

Brito exchanged opinions with Mourinho in a low voice. Seeing what happened to his rivals in the same city, Brito was also a little afraid of the game against Lazio. If he hadn't defeated his opponent at home, then the away trip would definitely be dangerous. , even they will really be eliminated by Lazio.

"If we were in this situation with the Scots in the finals, I would never let the team give up ball control and attack in the midfield and frontcourt. The more dangerous the moment, the less likely we are to let the football be at the feet of the opponent. The Scots The offense is a shock to any team’s defense.”

While Mourinho was watching the game, he wrote down on the notepad in his hand what the opponent needed to pay most attention to. He would not let go of even a tiny detail. The next game was the final, and there were only 90 Minutes, no room for error.

This is not like the match with the Italians. Even if they lose one 90 minutes, they still have a chance to make up in the next 90 minutes. This is the final of the UEFA Cup. No one will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you make a mistake, it is equivalent to suicide.

Moreover, after returning to Porto, Mourinho has ordered to refuse to accept any interview requests from anyone. Now he must be alert to the signs of relaxation in the Porto team. As the newspaper said, many players also think that they beat Lazio and it is equivalent to lifting the trophy.

In fact, before the start of the UEFA Cup semi-finals, all the institutions and bookmakers that predicted the final results ranked Boavista and Celtic in the last two places to win the championship. Lazio is the biggest favorite in this UEFA Cup.

But when this biggest favorite was killed, the Porto team that won the game naturally replaced the Italians. Now they have become the target of others to kill. The transformation from hunter to prey is so fast.

In last year's Champions League group stage, Porto defeated the Scottish Celtics 3-0 at home. Now they meet their opponents again in the League Cup. Everyone is optimistic, as if it is not difficult to defeat the same opponent again.

Moreover, the Celtics paid a heavy price in the game against Boavista. Hartson, their most effective offensive fulcrum and powerful center, also suffered a calf injury in the final moments of the game and has been confirmed to miss the final.

The only one who can replace him is Sutton, the high center forward who once became notorious in England. If this guy is in his peak state, it would be terrible. But now he can't even play as an absolute striker in the Scottish team, so he is not to be feared at all.

All signs show that the current Porto team has completely gained the upper hand. Whether from the overall strength of the team or from the recent state, the Portuguese have a much greater chance of winning the championship than the Scottish. Optimism has begun to grow in the Porto team.

Mourinho's way of reminding these guys was a high-intensity training. When these guys who had already begun to look forward to picking up the championship trophy were exhausted like dead dogs, Mourinho was willing to stop the warning training and let these people go.

"If you don't want to be like those guys in Boavista, never ignore your opponents. Don't forget, this is the final. The opponent is as eager for honor as we are. If you underestimate your opponent, you will be punished on the field!"

Mourinho sounded the alarm for these guys in advance. In the next few days, Porto began to shut out those reports that flattered their team and concentrate on studying the advantages and exploitable loopholes of their next opponent.

And the most reassuring thing for Mourinho is that the black-haired little guy has been discharged from the hospital and started to participate in the team's daily training. Except for the fact that his calf muscles are still a little sore during the confrontation, he is basically fine.

However, the team doctor still suggested to shorten the playing time of this little guy appropriately. After all, Lin Yi, who is in the stage of physical development, will still seem a little overwhelmed when facing these high-intensity physical confrontations, which is also easy to cause unnecessary injuries.

"It is best to control the playing time within half a game or 30 minutes. As long as his body is not fatigued, there will not be too many injuries. This little guy is very flexible and smart. He has avoided the most serious injuries at critical moments twice, but he still needs to be careful."

After carefully checking the muscle recovery of Lin Yi's calf, the team doctor told Mourinho that although this little guy can now participate in official competitions, it is best not to let this kind of injury happen frequently, otherwise, Lin Yi's bones in the growth period will still suffer serious sports injuries.

However, Lin Yi himself did not have this self-consciousness. He immediately participated in the actual combat confrontation on the first day he returned to the team, and very impolitely broke through the gate guarded by Baia twice in a row in the group confrontation, as if he had found the feeling of shooting in the game against Lazio.

"Hey, kid, you've been lying in the hospital for a week. Are you saving all your energy for me?" Baia shouted at Lin Yi because of the two frustrated goals. Lin Yi's two shots just now really hurt him a little.

"Hey, man, don't forget, your opponent in the next game is definitely not an easy guy to deal with. The bald guy from Sweden is the target you have to guard against." Lin Yi said loudly to Baia while running.

Mourinho heard this sentence clearly on the sidelines. He was surprised that the black-haired kid didn't forget to care about the enthusiasm of the next opponent while resting in the hospital. Just as the kid said, Mourinho is most worried about the other striker of the Celtics.

The bald killer from Sweden in Northern Europe... An absolutely dangerous guy...
