Chapter 677 I'm ready

Chapter 677 I’m ready

February 3, 2003, Monday, the third day of the Lunar New Year, was the first issue of the new year of CCTV's "World Football". After the long winter break in the major European leagues, the war finally started again, and the second stage of the Champions League

The third round of the group stage will also start again this month.

Lin Feng was amazed as he watched Duan Xuan, the host of "Tianxia Football", chatting freely on the show and constantly introducing the second group stage of the Champions League that was about to resume.

There are 16 teams that have entered the second group stage of the championship finals, divided into four groups. Group A includes Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Newcastle, and Bayer Leverkusen; Group B includes Ajax, Arsenal, and Valencia.

, Roma; Real Madrid, AC Milan, Dortmund, Porto in Group C; Juventus, Basel, Manchester United, Deportivo in Group D.

Four groups, 16 teams. Except for Bayern Munich who was unexpectedly eliminated in the first stage of the group stage, the real surprise of the team that entered the second stage of the finals was Porto from Portugal. This team qualified for the third round.

However, he made it all the way to the main draw and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League.

Porto entered the third round of the Champions League Northern Qualifications as second place in the Portuguese League. After defeating the Anderlecht (Belgium) team at home and away, they reached the Champions League final. Although the results at the time were extremely brilliant, they

For the major European teams, Porto's stunning performance in the qualifying round (a total of 10 goals scored and 1 conceded in two rounds at home and away) is not surprising. After all, the opponent is only a Belgian team, a third-rate European league.

That's all.

But what really makes the world's biggest teams and major media remember Porto is the crazy words of its coach Mourinho. A young coach who has not received any merit, a former translator, after entering the Champions League 32

After the victory, Mourinho made wild remarks in front of the world's media - Porto has a glorious history and was once a powerful team in Europe. We set foot here again today just to win the championship. To prove that we are the best football team in Europe.

Team.

This wild talk was undoubtedly very disdainful at the time, as it was considered too arrogant and arrogant. It was just a big victory over Belgium's Anderlecht, but it was so arrogant.

But then their performance after entering the first group stage of the Champions League final was jaw-dropping. In the first group stage, Porto's group opponents were Barcelona, ​​Galatasaray, and Club Brugge.

Facing these three opponents, Mourinho's Porto first swept Brugge with two 3:0s, then defeated the Turkish giant Galatasaray with a 2:0 and a 1:1. Finally, they faced each other.

Against Mourinho's "old club" Barcelona (who has served as an assistant coach in Barcelona twice), the home and away games resulted in a sparkling 3:3 score, which was only one point less than Barcelona's proud record.

Advance to the last 16 of the Champions League.

Porto's performance in the first group stage of the Champions League was simply jaw-dropping. Especially in the two games against Barcelona, ​​although they conceded 6 goals, they also scored 6 goals and were able to draw against the La Liga giants Barcelona.

In this way, the elimination of the Turkish giant Galatasaray has completely attracted the attention of the major European giants and made the media exclaim.

In particular, Mourinho's words when facing reporters are even more thought-provoking - I came here not only to win, but also to prove that I am by no means a big talker. I, Jose Mourinho, will

I will be the best head coach and the team I lead will be the best team in Europe. I am by no means a braggart.

What Mourinio said was very arrogant, but it also left many media confused. It felt like there was something in Mourinho's words, as if someone had heard it, but they couldn't guess it.

Watching "World Football" play Mourinho's words, Lin Feng spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Look at you, you are already a father, and you still act like a child. You almost sprayed on little Youxi." Huang Meixi glared at Lin Feng angrily. She blamed Lin Feng for spraying tea while watching TV, which almost didn't scare him.

Her little baby.

Lin Feng apologized quickly. It's not because Lin Feng was too rude just now. It's because Mourinho's words were too surprising. Others couldn't understand the meaning of Mourinho's words, but Lin Feng could.

.Munirio clearly meant this to Allegra.

When Mourinho and Allegra met in South Korea, Allegra, a standard AC Milan supporter, used AC Milan's glorious past to humiliate Mourinho and his Porto into silence. At that time,

Mourinho, who was choked and speechless, vowed to lead his team to the top of Europe. But now, just one year later, Porto has entered the European Champions League main draw and also reached the top 16 of the Champions League. This is really

Horrifying.

Originally, historically, Porto should have failed in the qualifying rounds, then moved to the UEFA Cup, and won this year's UEFA Cup championship. However, because Lin Feng equipped it with a super powerful center - Drogba, Porto's lineup tended to be

Perfect. Originally, Porto now has no shortage of talented players. For example, defense backbone Ricardo Carvalho (who later moved to Chelsea in history), midfielder Deco (who later moved to Chelsea in history) and others,

It can be said that Porto is very strong, it just lacks a super center who can always attack the city.

As a result, Lin Feng hired Drogba (the first football star signed by Lin Feng's agent company) from the French Guingamp team and joined Mourinho. Drogba's joining transformed Porto and also made Mourinho

Nerio's tactics are more flexible and changeable. Drogba not only scored 25 goals in 17 rounds of the Portuguese League, but also scored 4 goals in 2 European Champions Cup qualifying games and played in 6 Champions League games.

Score 6 goals and become a super center.

Drogba's crazy performance was also the key to Porto being able to eliminate Galatasaray, Club Brugge, and evenly matched Barcelona.

Drogba's crazy performance, as well as Porto's outstanding performance, also gave Mourinho the qualification to challenge Allegra, proving that he is by no means a person who only talks empty words.

After entering the second stage of the European Champions League group stage, in addition to Real Madrid, this team also has Mourinho's "old enemy" AC Milan. The so-called "old enemy" is also because Allegra talked about "

How about AC Milan, how about ", what about your "Porto", which made Mourinho extremely unhappy. Invisibly, he listed AC Milan as his old enemy in his heart.

In the first two rounds of the second stage of the Champions League group stage, Porto first defeated Dortmund 2:1, then tied with Real Madrid 2:2. In the third round, on February 26, they faced their old rival AC Milan at home.

The interview on the screen is Mourini's challenge to the reporter to AC Milan - AC Milan is a European giant and has won numerous honors in the Champions League, but with me here today, I will prove that a team is brilliant.

The past doesn't mean anything, Porto will create history! (These words were blurted out by Mourinho when he suddenly remembered Allegra's proud look during an interview and felt a little annoyed)

Mourinho's words are undoubtedly very arrogant and crazy. The Italian media, who have always been very proud of themselves and are still immersed in the fact that Serie A is the best league in the world, were furious after hearing this and criticized Mourinho's arrogance and arrogance.

"Milan News" commented - A "kid" who has been kicked out several times (dismissed after coaching Benfica for 9 games), only achieved some results this season (disparagingly, Mourinho is the youngest coach)

generation) dare to speak arrogant words to AC Milan. Don’t think that defeating Galatasaray, which has no strength, Dortmund, which has declined, and drawing with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which have terrible defense, are qualified to yell at our great AC Milan.

.We (ac Milan) will use iron barrel defense to let you experience what real defense is.

Mourinho only responded lightly to the ridicule and ridicule of the Italian media - someone told me many years ago: a caravan passed by and a group of dogs were barking; you look at those dogs, but the caravan continues

Move forward.

The Italian media were trembling with anger at Mourinho's words, and they all threatened to ask AC Milan to give this arrogant Portuguese a good look. Many media even asked AC Milan coach Ancenotti to give this arrogant and look down upon him.

The Portuguese in Italian football look good.

Regarding Mourinho's "hostility" to AC Milan, "the second oldest" Ancenotti was also puzzled. AC Milan has not touched Porto for a long, long time. In his impression, Porto and AC Milan

Milan should have no grudges.

Ancenotti, who is used to being a good guy, had to cool down this pre-staged "war" to prevent his players from working too hard in the battle with Porto due to the media's clamor, which would affect the subsequent games - I don't know Mourinho

Why is Mr. O so hostile to AC Milan? But for me and AC Milan, this is just an ordinary game. My team and I play according to the established tactics.

Ancenotti originally wanted to cool down, but his words were embellished by the media, describing them as a strong man's disdain for the weak, and they all claimed that Porto was not worthy of AC Milan's seriousness and was just an ordinary opponent.

That's all.

Faced with the reporter's comments, Ancenotti was helpless and had no choice but to shut up. Otherwise, reporters would always be able to process whatever words he said into something exciting for readers. This is a good thing for AC, which aims to win the European championship this year.

This is definitely not a good thing for Milan. In the Italian League, AC Milan has no hope this year and can only rely on the European Champions Cup.
