Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After dealing with Maicon, Yang Luo and Bernstein did not rush back to England, but went to Juventus.

There is also a great player hidden here, Thiago Silva!

According to the original timeline, he will join Porto this summer and start his first European tour.

However, his first travel trip was definitely a nightmare for him. He had no chance at all in the new European champion team and could only waste time in the reserve team.

And the worst thing was that Porto later loaned him to Russia, but he got tuberculosis in Russia and almost ended his career.

So, Yang Luo prepared to take him away first with the idea of ​​saving him.

After arriving at Juventud, their desire to buy was not hindered at all, and the two clubs quickly reached a deal at a price of 3 million euros.

It's great that there is no complete inflation now!

And Thiago Silva himself did not have any contrary opinions. After all, joining a European team is the dream of these young Brazilians.

After a simple bargaining, the two sides signed a five-year contract with a weekly salary of 15,000 pounds.

However, he has no experience in the national team now, so there is no possibility of getting a work permit.

Therefore, he must first be loaned to Manchester City's satellite club Givisente for two years, and then he can officially join Manchester City after obtaining Portuguese nationality.

Thiago Silva also understands his situation very well. He also knows that he can't compete with Stam and Uifalusi for the time being, so it is normal to go to the Portuguese Super League to level up.

So he also accepted Yang Luo's arrangement.

Then he returned to England with Maicon and underwent a physical examination arranged by the club.

After confirming that there was no problem, Manchester City Club also immediately made an official announcement that the Brazilian double star will join the team after the transfer window opens.

However, Yang Luo asked him to go to Portugal the day after Thiago Silva's official announcement.

After all, he needs to stay in Portugal for two years to obtain Portuguese citizenship, and the application process for citizenship will take one to two months, so he must let him go as soon as possible in order to catch up with the team in the summer window two years later.

After arranging their transfer, the time has come to May 24, 2004.

Two days later, the Champions League final of this season will be ushered in. The opponents in the final are Mourinho's Porto and Deschamps' Monaco.

Although it is called the most unpopular Champions League final, this game has a lot to watch.

Yang Luo also got two tickets. He excitedly took Fiona to Germany to watch the game.

Because he doesn't like to be exposed, he still chose to sit in the ordinary audience this time.

But the ticket he bought is the area with the best view.

The venue of the Champions League final this time is the Schalke Stadium, and this name has always made Yang Luo feel very domineering.

Today, the stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 spectators, is full.

Players from both sides entered the field, and the two young coaches also shook hands with each other on the sidelines.

In the next 20 years, these two coaches left their own marks in European football.

And for them, this game is also a turning point in their lives.

It is said that Abramovich selected the next head coach based on the result of this game.

Although the players on the field are not well-known at this time, they will all be well-known figures in the future.

Porto has Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, Ferreira, Maniche, Monaco has Giuly, Rothen, Morientes, and Manchester City star Adebayor is on the bench.

Yang Luo kept looking at these people, and felt very interesting.

Fiona, who was standing by, was also very curious. She stared at the man in the windbreaker in front of the Porto bench and couldn't help but praise him: "Nowadays, there are also such handsome head coaches!"

Yang Luo curled his lips: "Is he as handsome as me?"

Fiona's eyes turned into crescents and she took his arm: "Of course not as handsome as you!"

Yang Luo straightened his back with satisfaction.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

In this game, Mourinho arranged a 4312 formation, while Deschamps arranged a 433 formation. Obviously, Deschamps' side was more radical.

Monaco also took the advantage of the scene from the beginning, facing Porto's goal

launched an attack.

The trident of Giuly, Rothen and Morientes in the front field cooperated very well, posing a great threat to Porto's defense.

But Porto's defense was also very solid, and there were no loopholes for the time being.

Yang Luo in the stands was very calm, because he knew that in this kind of European final, Mourinho's team's winning rate was quite terrible.

Sure enough, in the 35th minute of the game, Porto launched a counterattack. They made a cross from the right, and Alberto shot and scored in the melee, helping Porto lead one to zero!

As soon as the ball went in, Yang Luo immediately felt that Porto was stable.

In the 41st minute, Monaco's offensive core Giuly suddenly strained his thigh and could not continue the game, which made Monaco even worse.

Yang Luo sighed in his heart, it seems that God has let Porto win the championship.

Even Fiona next to him couldn't help but say: "After that little guy left the field, Monaco's attack became difficult."

Yang Luo couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fiona, you didn't learn in vain this year, you know a lot about football!"

Fiona wrinkled her nose at him and rolled her eyes.

Although Monaco continued to have the advantage in ball possession, their offense became very unsmooth without Giuly, and Morientes didn't get any good opportunities in the frontcourt. Monaco could only play piecemeal and couldn't threaten Porto's goal.

But Porto became more and more confident. In the 63rd minute of the second half, they intercepted the ball in the midfield again, passed the ball three times and hit the ball into Monaco's penalty area, and Deco completed the fatal blow.

Two to zero!

Porto almost locked the victory!

Yang Luo in the stands raised his eyebrows. It seems that although there are some differences in the details with the original history, the result of Porto's victory will not change.

In the 83rd minute, Monaco, who had been pressing hard, suffered another heavy blow. Porto seized the opportunity to counterattack, and Maniche finally added icing on the cake.

3-0!

Monaco had no chance at all.

In the end, the score of this game was also fixed at 3-0. Porto defeated Monaco and won the Champions League this season!

And Porto also became the first non-top five league champion since the reform of the Champions League!

Yang Luo knew that even after nearly 20 years, Porto was still the only non-top five league champion after the reform.

And Mourinho began his road to success!
