[Football] King Of Europe

When he woke up the next day, Sebastian was in a daze.

From brushing his teeth with a water glass to the way back from brushing his teeth, he kept chanting: "Milan, the Rossoneri... Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Monaco, Gelsenkirchen, ahhhhh!"

Deco, who had witnessed everything from beginning to end, carefully poked Baia: "Did you see anything strange last night?"

"No?" Baia was also wondering, "He fell asleep as soon as he went to bed last night, I don't understand, why did something wrong when he woke up?!"

"Listen to what he's talking about." Costinia looked sad, "It must be too much pressure on him!"

"Before Lyon finished playing, Sebastian was already worried about Milan and Arsenal." McCarthy was also very worried, "We haven't worried so much yet?"

"Do you still remember the bench time before? Could it be that the psychological shadow left by that time was too great?"

Costinia nodded: "It's possible. You all saw his state at that time. Although he is better now, it is inevitable that he will rebound!"

"What is that?"

"No goals or assists against Lyon?"

"Nonsense, I only scored an assist last night, McCarthy, didn't you just catch the ball and score?"

In the end, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: Could it be that he was really under too much pressure?

When Sebastian finished packing and came out, he met the captain's extremely kind eyes. In the gentle eyes that made him feel scared, Costa stretched out his arm, which can be called gentle. ...ruffed his hair.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you are the best, Sebastian!"

Sebastian: ...

After a long time, he hesitated and said, "...Thank you, thank you?"

Although I don't know what happened to my teammates, but it feels good to be encouraged and comforted like this?

The green-eyed boy couldn't help smiling, packed his backpack and jumped off the train: "Hey, wait for me!"

Probably not many media knew that they came to Lyon by train. The visit to Porto disappeared like a spring breeze. It was not until someone ran into them in the hotel where they were staying that the media finally noticed this group of outsiders.

When did Porto come? !

The major media at the airport couldn’t figure out how Porto arrived, as if Portugal appeared thousands of miles away in an instant, and some newspapers even joked that they used the wings of a giant dragon—but this did not Not the point, two days later, the game that will be played at the Gerland Stadium on April 4 is the target of attention.

But the night before, the media all over Europe exploded.

On April 4, the first day of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, when the result was decided, it was doomed to sleepless nights.

Spanish giants Real Madrid lost to Monaco due to fewer away goals, while Arsenal, who were triumphant and unbeaten in the Premier League, were slapped into the ditch by city rival Chelsea.

The head of Abramovich was printed on the newspaper, and the rich Russian smiled shyly.

"Wow! Is this the owner of Chelsea?"

"Yes, that's right... a local tyrant who suddenly appeared."

At the end of last season, that is, in June 2003, Abramovich, who mysteriously appeared overnight, bought Chelsea for 6 million pounds and repaid up to 1.5 for this club in the middle of the Premier League. £8 in debt - even though the London City side are only worth £5930m.Former chairman Ken Bates has since left the Blue Bridge. At the same time, Abramovich spent £1 million in his first summer at the club.

"It is said that watching the match between Real Madrid and Manchester United gave him the idea of ​​buying the club."

"He's waving a check to make waves in the continental market, you know that."

"Tinker La Nieli temporarily retains his handsome position! "

"Stanford Bridge may usher in a new owner!" "

The Italian temporarily kept his position, but Abramovich may dismiss him at any time. Everyone knows that he is not so satisfied with "Tinker".Perhaps when the team is in turmoil, it is a good way to find him to take over. The Italian can barely squeeze the team into a ball, but he lacks a little momentum after all, and the dough may fall apart at any time.

"...It's said, it's just said that he has taken a fancy to our players?"

Everyone looked at each other with big eyes.

"Come on!" Captain Costa clapped the table, "All the players in Europe are rumored to have sex with Chelsea."

"But it is said that Abrahim has taken a fancy to the boss!"

"Nonsense, he obviously likes that Deschamps in Monaco!" Costa slapped the table, "Even if he replaces Lena Lita, the target is Deschamps, not our leader... Let's talk about this topic Stop here!"

Who doesn't know the gossip in the team?Ranieri will definitely dismiss get out of class at the end of this season, and now the two most popular young coaches in Europe, apart from Didier Deschamps in Ligue [-], are Mourinho in the Portuguese Super League.

But the topic turned to the other side: "When we qualify, if they can beat Monaco, maybe we will have a fight with them?"

"Oh! Come on, wait, let's get rid of this opponent first! Think about Milan!"

"It's already very good! Do you still want to play Real Madrid!"

After this game, as long as there are no accidents, they will face the winner between Milan and Deportivo. Thankfully, the Spanish giants have been slapped home by Monaco, and they don't have to play again in the same season. Go to the Bernabéu.

But thinking of the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season, everyone is also trembling.

And the opponents they may face are also seen in the eyes of other media.

On the evening of April 4, Gerland Stadium.

"Porto has only lost two games this season! They were lost to Milan in the UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the season and Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage. Now Real Madrid has been eliminated and is playing in the Riazor Stadium. With another game, maybe Porto will meet their old rival!"

"Milan beat Deportivo 3-1 at the San Siro! The Spanish team only scored one goal and they suffered a terrible defeat in Italy. They need to score at least 3 goals at home if they want to qualify, You have to defend your defense so that the Rossoneri can't score!"

But this... is like a fantasy.

"Instead of discussing Deportivo's goal, let's talk about whether Milan can defend their title... Seriously, I'm actually looking forward to the duel between the Rossoneri and the Dragon."

"In a sense, the match between Lyon and Porto is like the match between Ligue [-] and the Portuguese Super League. In the previous league, Porto had already defended their title in advance after defeating Gil Vincent, and Lyon is also the leader of the Ligue [-] class. It has won the Ligue [-] championship for two consecutive seasons. But at present... maybe it is still the Portuguese, and it is even more important to win."

The game was not too intense, Porto established a lead early on, and they broke Lyon's goal twice before the end of the first half.In addition, Porto already had four goals in the first round of the game, and Lyon wanted to advance, even if they scored four consecutive goals in the next time-because they didn't have even one away goal.

The following game was uneventful as expected by many media and commentators before the game. It was not until the injury time in the second half that Lyon barely equalized the score.Mourinho's eyes have moved to the big screen, and his thoughts have drifted to another opponent-Milan, whom he met at the beginning of the season.

He doesn't really want to play another game with the Rossoneri, because they are almost the strongest of the remaining teams, not to mention that this team led by Ancelotti is the defending champion!

At the same time, UEFA officials came towards him.

"Mr. Mourinho, the score in Spain was 4-0."

The Porto marshal only suspected that he heard it wrong: "Four goals? In Riazor... Oh! How can Milan score four goals in the away game of Deportivo!"

"No." The substitute official was very calm, "It was Laco who entered."

And Mourinho took a long time to digest and get the information - what?Deportivo four goals, wait!

Did Deportivo qualify? !

"The game is over, they are ahead of the Rossoneri on aggregate."

Mourinho's head turned to the bench, and almost at the same moment, all the players on the bench looked at him-it is also one of the players' skills to pay attention to the coach all the time.

"Guys, hey, we don't have to go to San Siro."

Nuno was the first to widen his eyes. He seemed to realize something, and his whole body trembled from the shock.

And Mourinho looked at the former Depor player: "Yes, our next opponent, your old club, Depor."
