Chapter 123 The Wind Rising (4)

ps: Please click here to collect and recommend, thank you

Although this Champions League final is the most grassroots final since the reform of the Champions League, the two teams that reached the final are far from the previous participating teams in terms of star flavor and popularity, they still find many highlights and gimmicks under the vigorous exploration of various media and UEFA.

For example, for the two young coaches, Deschamps and Mourinho, UEFA and media reporters have tailored various publicity plans for the two, attracting the attention of fans as much as possible. Especially in their coaching careers, which seem to be extremely legendary, UEFA and the media have put in a lot of effort to promote.

UEFA's approach did have the expected effect. After learning from the media's publicity about Deschamps and Mourinho's legendary rise, more and more fans began to pay attention to this Champions League final, which they originally thought was not much highlight. However, what UEFA did not expect was that it was precisely because of their strong publicity for the two head coaches that a very strange phenomenon occurred, that is, Deschamps and Mourinho's current popularity and popularity are even higher than their players!

This situation is naturally unexpected for UEFA. However, UEFA President Johnson did not feel too distressed. In the eyes of this shrewd old man, it doesn't matter who the fans focus on. As long as they can maintain enough attention to this Champions League final, then Johnson and the UEFA he controls can be invincible!

The person who is most dissatisfied with this status quo should be Porto chairman Da Costa. You should know that unlike Mourinho, who has been determined to leave Porto after the end of the season, most of Porto players are still in a contract. Therefore, if Da Costa intends to sell these players at a high price after the final of the Champions League, then they must increase their popularity as much as possible.

Under such circumstances, Dacosta naturally was very dissatisfied with UEFA's behavior of focusing on Mourinho's publicity. The worst thing is that Dacosta had a very fierce quarrel with Mourinho because the team lost to Benfica in the Portuguese Cup final not long ago, so Dacosta didn't have to expect Mourinho to obey his instructions and help him in the interview and also make a name for the players.

While Dacosta secretly complained about UEFA's actions, George, who had finalized Klose's transfer, also arrived at Ao to Schalke Stadium by car and was preparing to watch the upcoming Champions League final.

By the way, it is mentioned that since George and Mourinho worked under the old Robson, he also learned a lot of key knowledge from this coach. Therefore, the day before the game started, George specially called his "senior brother" and wished Mourinho that he could lead Porto to win the final championship trophy in the Champions League final. Although George's identity seems a bit special in the head coach circle, a good connection must be established. Otherwise, Tottenham, which is too maverick, is likely to be isolated by other teams and fall into trouble in the transfer market.

"Hi, George, you're here just in time." Seeing George walk into the box, Abramovich quickly put down the vodka in his hand and greeted George enthusiastically, "If you come half an hour later, the game will probably have begun."

"It's okay, Roman." George smiled and walked over to sit in the seat next to Abu. "Anyway, there are no players I'm interested in, so even if I'm a little late, I'm afraid there won't be any loss."

"By the way, I'll introduce you to you, this one is." After hearing George's reply, Abu felt a little relieved. Then, the Russian oil tycoon raised his hand and planned to introduce another "guest" in the box to George.

"Mr. Jorge Mendez, am I right?" George said with a smile. He was very impressed by this agent. "Romain, Mr. Mendez and I have always met each other. You know, Cristiano Ronaldo in our team is a signing player under Mr. Mendez!"

"Haha, it's a great honor to be remembered by Mr. Nelson." Although Mendes became the number one person in the Portuguese agent circle with his high-quality service and unique perspective, he has not yet grown into the agent giant in his previous life. Therefore, in front of George and Abu, Mendes dared not show any disrespect.

At this time, the players from Porto and Monaco had already followed the referee team out of the player channel and began to hold the pre-match ceremony of the Yi series under the leadership of the referee.

"Oh? UEFA actually asked Kinnelson to enforce the final of this Champions League? Haha, this is really an interesting arrangement." Seeing that the old acquaintance of Nelson was actually Nelson, George couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and at the same time, he began to secretly observe silence for Monaco in his heart.

Perhaps others are not very clear, but George is very clear about Nelson's law enforcement style. Although this Danish referee once used a red card to directly drive Beckham, who was young and energetic at the time, in general, Nelson did not make strict punishments for small movements between players, and would only impose severe punishments on those more obvious foul movements. In this way, Porto, who is better at defending with small movements and tactical fouls, and has a more sophisticated style, obviously has a more advantage in this game than Monaco, who is more passionate.

Sure enough, after Nelson blew the opening whistle, although Monaco and Porto players followed the instructions of their coaches and arranged layers of defense from the beginning of the midfield, the game became quite dull. However, as time went by, facing the sophisticated and calm Porto, Monaco players' swings on both ends of the offense and defense began to become impatient and unstable. Especially Give, who appeared instead of Squillac, made frequent mistakes in the first half of the game and was bullied by Delray and Alberto, the forward partners!

It was raining all night. In the 23rd minute, Monaco captain Rudovicjiuli injured his thigh muscles during the fight and had to accept the cruel reality of leaving early.

Jiuli's injury and departure were undoubtedly extremely huge to Monaco. Because the captain's fate not only made Monaco lose the sharpest edge sharp knife, but also greatly alleviated Porto's defensive pressure, allowing the Portuguese giant to devote more energy to the offense. In the 39th minute of the game, Valente's cross from the left was pushed out by Rodriguez. Mendes quickly knocked back after getting the ball on the right side of the court. Ferreira, who followed up, directly raised her foot and scored a cross and passed the ball into the penalty area!

Alberto blocked Give tightly behind his back, and then removed Ferreira's cross with his right foot. Next, as long as Alberto successfully completes the turn, he can create a chance to attack!

At this moment, Give made another mistake. Although the Frenchman cleared the ball first, he failed to kick the ball far due to position issues. Seeing this, Alberto responded quickly and took back the ball with a quick step. Then he directly scored a volley from the twelve yards in front of the goal, hitting the ball into the right side of the goal, yi against zero!
