Before the game between Valencia and Monaco, another Champions League semi-final will decide the winner.
Porto led by Mourinho eliminated Ranieri's Chelsea in the semi-finals and successfully entered the final.
To say that the most eye-catching young coach right now is Mourinho and Chang Sheng.
These two young coaches also successfully met in the Champions League final, which fulfilled the wish of many people - they just wanted to see who is better, Chang Sheng or Mourinho.
Chang Sheng's performance in the domestic league is very outstanding. In La Liga, one of the five major European leagues, he was able to lead the team to win the league championship for three consecutive years, which is remarkable.
Mourinho's results in the European war are even better.
He led Porto to win the UEFA Cup and achieved Porto's Triple Crown that season.
Mourinho's team has a good momentum in the league this season and has basically locked in the league championship.
The Portuguese Cup also reached the final, against Benfica. Like Valencia, they also hope to win the Triple Crown. If Porto wins the Triple Crown again, Mourinho will lead the team in just three seasons.
The team won two triple crowns! This is an amazing achievement!
As early as the season when he led Porto to win the UEFA Cup, Mourinho became the head coach that the whole of Europe paid attention to.
Despite his youth, he actually comes from a well-known family. He once served as Robson's translator in Barcelona and became Van Gaal's assistant.
So his current success is traceable, and everyone has watched him grow from a translator to an excellent head coach step by step.
But everyone also knows that this small temple in Porto cannot keep such a great god.
Everyone doesn't know it yet, but they know it very well. Just after the semi-final between Porto and Chelsea, Mourinho was picked up on Abramovich's luxury yacht, and then on there, Mourinho
He signed his name and before the season ended, he was already determined to join Chelsea.
As for why Abramovich chose Mourinho instead of always winning.
Because Mourinho's Porto and Chelsea have outstanding teachers, Abramovich can observe Mourinho's coaching ability up close. He believes that Mourinho is a very high-level head coach.
Of course, he is also very capable in winning, otherwise he would not have won three consecutive La Liga titles.
But there is a very important factor that Abramovich has to consider. That is, whether he is winning in Getafe or Valencia, he will be very unhappy with the club's senior management. He seems to be the chairman
Nemesis, the relationship with the club chairman and general manager is very bad.
Abramovich believes that winning is difficult to discipline. If such a person comes to coach Chelsea, he will be a disaster...
So he chose Mourinho, who was relatively obedient, instead of winning all the time.

This season's Champions League final will be held on May 26th. The final will be held at the Schalke Arena, the home ground of Schalke 04 in Germany.
There are still three rounds of La Liga before this.
I gave up all my plans to win these three league rounds.
It is mainly used as a warm-up match for the Champions League final to allow the players to adjust their condition.
As for the results, I don’t think too much about it.
Anyway, even if they lose all, Valencia has already won the league championship.
The preparations for the final against Porto also started at this time.
The training plans have all been modified to be set up for the Champions League finals, and Porto has become an opponent that every Valencia player needs to know. The coaching staff made clips of Porto's matches in the league, allowing the players to watch them repeatedly to understand their goals.
characteristics and know their weaknesses.
Only if they are familiar with Porto on the television screen can they build a complete image in their minds.
As for league opponents? That doesn’t matter at all.
Anyway, Valencia is not pursuing unbeaten this season.

In the 36th round, Valencia challenged Sevilla away from home.
Before the game, Sevilla players lined up on both sides of the tunnel to welcome Valencia players, which was a courtesy to the champions.
Valencia has experienced this scene for three seasons. Because every season, they have been able to win the championship early.
And what a coincidence. Last season, Valencia defeated Barcelona at home and won the championship one round ahead of schedule. Their opponent in the last round was Sevilla. They lined up to welcome the champion last season...
The match against Sevilla ended up in a 2:2 draw, which can be considered a happy outcome for everyone.
In the thirty-seventh round of the league, Valencia challenged Villarreal away. In this game, Valencia ultimately lost to the Yellow Submarine with a score of 1:2.
The thirty-eighth round of the league will be held on May 23, and the Champions League final will be three days later.
In order to ensure that the main players will not be injured and will not be exhausted, in this game, all the winning players will be substitute players and players from the B team.
At the end of the season, the injury situation finally eased slightly, and there were no serious injuries like half a year.
But even so, Chang Sheng does not dare to take it lightly. Injuries often occur inadvertently.
Valencia, who played all substitutes, lost 0:1 at home to Albacete.
The season ended with two consecutive losses.
But no one blamed Chang Sheng for this.
Even club president Soler had nothing to say.
Although two consecutive defeats are something Valencia has never seen before this season.
But...you have already won the league championship, so what’s wrong with giving up the league in order to prepare for the Champions League final?
If you jump out to criticize Chang Sheng at this time, I'm afraid you will be regarded as an idiot by many people, right?

Although they lost the last two rounds and have not won since winning the championship early, Valencia is still the best performing La Liga team this season. They deserved to win the La Liga championship.
In the thirty-eight rounds of the league, they won 27 games, drew seven games, and lost four games. They scored 83 goals, the most in the league. They conceded 21 goals, the fewest in the league.
With fifteen wins, three draws and one loss at home, the home record is the best.
Twelve wins, four draws and three losses in away games, the away record is the best.
All technical statistics are the best. Such a league championship is undisputed.

There are only three days until the Champions League final.
Before the game, as usual, the two sides had to have a war of words. What's more, neither Mourinho nor Chang Sheng are fuel-efficient lamps.
Mourinho seems very confident because their team has been preparing for the Champions League final since May 9.
Although they lost to Benfica in the Portuguese Cup on May 16, their dream of winning the Triple Crown was shattered.
But when I think about the Champions League final, even losing the Portuguese Cup is not a big deal.
In addition to a Portuguese Cup match, they have been preparing for the Champions League final. In order to maintain the players' game condition, Mourinho also arranged a number of warm-up matches.
Everything is really ready, all we need is the east wind.
But Chang Sheng wants to pour cold water on the opponent.
"Porto? Yes, their season ended on May 9, but so what? A team has not participated in official games for a long time, and I doubt how long they can maintain their form..." In
Chang Sheng said this during the interview.
Mourinho is naturally not a light-hearted person and understands that this is psychological warfare.
In fact, he is very good at psychological warfare.
This season, Porto met Manchester United led by Ferguson in the knockout stage of the Champions League. The two sides engaged in psychological warfare before the game. As a result, the young Mourinho did not lose to the experienced Ferguson. Porto won 2:1 at home and 1:1 away.
, eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 3:2 and entered the quarterfinals.
Now that Chang Sheng has taken the initiative to start the war, Mourinho is naturally not to be outdone.
In an interview with reporters, he talked about his opponent in the final, Chang Sheng, the young head coach.
"I listened to his story and it was no big deal. He performed very well in the league. Porto also won the league title for two consecutive seasons under my leadership, and we were the treble winner last season. In terms of European wars
, we are more experienced than them. I don’t think Valencia is better than us. We have a long rest time, and none of the players are injured, which is different from Valencia..."
The implication is that Valencia's injuries are serious, so their strength will be greatly reduced.
In fact, Mourinho probably hates winning games all the time.
Because Chang Sheng robbed his core midfielder.
Seeing Deco perform so well in Valencia, he became even more unhappy - such an outstanding Deco should belong to Porto!
Without the core of the midfield, Mourinho had to modify his tactics to adapt to the new lineup.
As a result, they almost failed to win the Triple Crown last season.
But on the other hand, Mourinho does have something to be proud of. Even without the core midfielder, he was able to lead the team to the Triple Crown last season. Mourinho's level is indeed extraordinary.
The two sides engaged in a war of words, and the flames of war easily spread to the players.
Mourinho took the initiative to mention Deco's name this time.
"Deco should have been my core player. I like and appreciate him very much. He has an absolutely important tactical position in Porto. But it's a pity that he went to Valencia. I don't think it would be a better choice for him to go to Valencia."
The choice. Because we won the UEFA Cup last season, and Deco has not won a European championship in Valencia."
Mourinho's words are a bit unreasonable. Isn't the La Liga champion as good as the UEFA Cup champion?
This question is a matter of opinion, but to insist that it is better to stay in Porto than to go to Valencia is obviously nonsense.
Everyone knows that Valencia is better than Porto because La Liga is a bigger stage.
It's impossible for Mourinho not to understand this. His only purpose in saying this is to disrupt Valencia's military morale.
Deco is the core of Valencia. If Deco can be distracted by this matter, it will definitely affect his performance in the game and thus affect Valencia's results.
This is Mourinho's good idea.
In fact, when it comes to feelings, Mourinho has no feelings for Deco. After all, they only worked together for half a season and then Deco left.
This time and space is no longer the time and space that Chang Sheng once experienced. In that time and space, Deco played under Mourinho for two and a half years and went from an unknown unknown to the best midfielder in Europe. And proudly moved to Barcelona.
In that time and space, Mourinho was kind to Deco, and he was like Deco's reinvented mentor.
In this time and space, the emotional connection between the two people naturally no longer exists. Chang Sheng replaced Mourinho and became Deco's reinvented mentor. His feelings for Porto have faded, and Deco enjoys playing in Valencia very much. Everything in West Asia. (To be continued.
