I really don’t know how many English fans will tear up the lottery tickets they bought from the bookmakers after the match between Porto and Manchester United. Anyway, those football commentators who unanimously believed that Manchester United would easily pass the knockout stage before the start of the knockout stage really lost face.

Originally, they believed that the three Premier League teams would pass smoothly, but now Porto has completely overturned their crazy performance.

Porto told everyone their existence with the biggest upset. These crazy Portuguese have entered the threshold of the quarterfinals.

And these crazy guys made Manchester United miss the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in nearly eight seasons, which is undoubtedly a great miracle.

Of course, this is only for them. For Manchester United supporters, Old Trafford staged a nightmare this night.

It may have been a long time since Old Trafford was so quiet after the game. Those gloomy fans left with their heads down.

Two rounds of two complete wins, Porto taught the experts a lesson with practical actions this time. Traditional giants are not omnipotent in the Champions League.

At least in front of them, these great giants all looked very embarrassed, Real Madrid was the first, and now Manchester United is the second.

It is estimated that before the next round of games, no expert will be willing to predict the future of Porto, because those Portuguese are too crazy.

Since the group stage, these crazy people have surprised so many people. It seems that they really want to keep going crazy.

After the game with Porto, at the press conference, basically all the questions were thrown at Ferguson who was in a bad mood.

Mourinho, the winner, became a foil. It is obvious that the English media has no interest in this unknown guy.

Even if he can beat Manchester United, what? Can he be more news-hype-worthy than Ferguson now? It's just a game. He is not a world-class coach. Porto has only made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Ferguson is the central figure of this press conference.

Especially recently, there have been constant storms about this Scottish old man. The current failure shows that Manchester United is on the edge of the cliff.

This may be the treatment of the giants. Even if they lose, they never lack attention. They are the headlines of newspapers forever.

Why did they lose the game when they were leading? This is the most asked question by everyone, but Ferguson did not respond to this question directly.

Anyway, Ferguson knew very well that at this time, he was a role that everyone would point fingers at. There must always be someone to take the scapegoat on the loser's side.

It's just that this time he played this role himself. Ferguson, who has always been a winner, tasted the bitterness of a loser for the first time.

Especially when knowing that the other two Premier League teams passed the test smoothly, Manchester United was undoubtedly at the forefront of the media again.

Given his recent spat with the BBC and Sky TV, tomorrow's newspapers will inevitably have another round of crazy refutations.

Why didn't C. Ronaldo start? Why did Saha sit on the bench normally? In such a crucial game, leaving two players with a total value of more than 25 million pounds idle? Is this a common sense thing? This makes us unable to trust our own judgment--The Sun

Such views have been listed on the official website of The Sun before the game is over, and there is more than one.

As for the counterattack of BBC and Sky TV, Ferguson believes that tomorrow morning's newspapers and TV programs will become the main battlefield for denouncing him.

Compared with the verbal disputes between those media, Ferguson is probably more concerned about the news from the team's shareholders and board of directors in the next few days.

Whether the two Irishmen will take this opportunity to trample him to death is what Ferguson is most worried about. After all, those two guys are the big threat.

At this time, Ferguson can only be more open-minded. Anyway, he has already lost, so he might as well be honest. "We will always encounter some blows in life, but I don't think this moment has come. We will set our sights on the semi-finals of the FA Cup in April."

Anyway, the Champions League and the league are lagging behind, so Ferguson might as well burn the damn war directly to the game one and a half months later.

But the media has lost confidence in Manchester United this season: "FA Cup? The one standing in front of you is Arsenal, which has never lost a game!"

Ferguson chose to remain silent for such questions, mainly because he didn't know what to say to these people. Predicting the future? He was not in the mood.

Anyway, he still had a month and a half to use, and at this time Ferguson hoped that Arsenal could continue to be strong in the Champions League.

In this way, Arsenal, facing a three-line battle, would definitely not be able to bear the physical strength, and perhaps this would be good news for Manchester United.

If you want to curse now, just curse quickly. When the final result can no longer be changed, the old Sir is fearless. Besides, it is not the first time that Ferguson has experienced such a collective bombardment. An old guy will always have his own survival skills in such a football world.

However, after the game, the old man was very graceful and came to the Porto team's locker room with Gary Neville to express his congratulations.

After losing the tactical arrangement, the possibility of promotion, and the shameful loss of two games, Ferguson did not want to lose his demeanor again.

Especially when facing Mourinho, Ferguson did not want his opponent to be one step ahead of him in every aspect, which would be difficult for him to accept.

"Congratulations to you and your team. In the 180 minutes of the game, you performed much better than us. This victory is what you deserve."

At the press conference of the last game, Mourinho's hand was deliberately ignored by Ferguson, but this time in the locker room of Old Trafford, Ferguson took the initiative to extend his hand. This Scottish old man expressed his respect for the winner in this way.

Although the old man took the initiative to show his friendliness at this moment, no one knew what the old guy was thinking. Expecting him to bow his head? That was dreaming!

This time Mourinho was still the winner, but when he shook Ferguson's hand, he could clearly feel that the old man still had no intention of admitting defeat.

"I hope there will be more opportunities to meet in the future. I don't want to lose to the same person many times in a row. Maybe our roles will be reversed next time."

Although the Champions League game is over, Ferguson has already issued a challenge to Mourinho in advance. He has a hunch that this guy will definitely come to England.

Mourinho didn't say anything, but just responded with a smile, but this guy may be looking forward to the next meeting between the two at this moment.

Lin Yi saw the uncle and the old man smiling but not smiling, and he really understood what hypocrisy was for the first time.

However, this cunning guy did not forget to play a trick on Mourinho before leaving. He invited Lin Yi to play for Manchester United in front of Mourinho. According to the old man, he will definitely do it at all costs when summer comes.

"As long as Da Costa agrees, I will welcome you on behalf of the city of Manchester. I believe you will like Old Trafford."

"I think Manchester United should be able to fully meet the personal conditions proposed by Mendes. I hope you can stand in front of me in a few months."

"Uh..." Lin Yi looked at the smiling old man and didn't know what to say at this moment. This is definitely a master who hides a knife behind his smile.

Especially when Ferguson patted Lin Yi's shoulder affectionately, Lin Yi suddenly felt that why the old man in front of him, at this moment, looked so much like a child trafficker? This feeling is simply too dangerous.

Until Ferguson left, Lin Yi was still a little dizzy. He really didn't know if the old man was overwhelmed by failure. Even if he talked about the transfer, he didn't have to say it in front of the whole locker room! What's more, Lin Yi himself didn't care about these things at all. Isn't this obviously provoking discord!

Lin Yi certainly didn't know what the Scottish old man was thinking, but Mourinho knew that the opponent was blatantly poaching.

Mourinho had no way to stop Ferguson's naked recruitment. Anyway, the topic about Lin Yi would never end.

This kid recruited people in this way. Now, not only Ferguson is interested in him, but at least seven or eight teams want to pay a high price to sign this little guy.

I guess Lin Yi himself doesn't know how to respond to the other party's invitation. Reject? Who knows whether Mendes will accept the conditions offered by Ferguson.

After all, the old man dared to make an invitation in front of so many people, so what he said at all costs may not be just a casual talk.

Since Ferguson dared to spend 17 million euros to buy a newly famous Ronaldo, he will definitely use more funds to acquire Lin Yi in a big way.

At that time, even if Da Costa didn't want to sell, Mendes would not agree, not to mention that they already had a private agreement. After the end of this season, as long as there are teams from the top five leagues to Porto to buy Lin Yi, Da Costa will not stop it.

Mourinho knew that Mendes was a pure businessman. As long as he thought it was a good deal for Lin Yi, he would never refuse it.

Agree? Even Mourinho probably wouldn't agree. He trained Lin Yi himself. Would he be willing to give Lin Yi to someone else? Don't even think about it!

Otherwise, Mendes wouldn't have been so hesitant when answering Chelsea, because he also knew the dependence between the master and apprentice.

However, Mourinho himself doesn't know where he will settle next year. Will he continue to stay in Porto? Mourinho can't tell.

For the Portuguese league, Mourinho has nothing to pursue. There is basically no suspense about winning the league championship again. Even if it is to win the Portuguese Cup again, there is only one game left. After defeating a team like Manchester United, Benfica is no longer a problem.

According to Brito, Porto can now deal with a team like Benfica without any effort.

This is not Brito talking big, but Porto has the strength to do so. In the current Portuguese league, they have no rivals at all.

Porto is now in a state of seeking defeat alone in the Portuguese Super League, and no team can really beat them.

As long as they are serious and have a little luck, it is not a difficult task to win the league with an undefeated record.

Mourinho knows that in the world of football, don't always indulge in past successes, just like players, if there is no progress, there will be regression.

He is now the best coach in the Portuguese Super League, but what about a few years later? If he stays in Portugal, he will never become a world-class coach.

Just like those players must go to the top five leagues after becoming famous in Portugal, Mourinho also has his own ambitions. He needs a more intense arena to temper himself. He needs to have more confrontations with world-famous coaches. Going out of Portugal is an inevitable result.

Just like Mendes is running for Lin Yi's future, Portugal is destined to be a transit station for Mourinho and Lin Yi, and they will eventually leave here.

But no matter which club Mourinho will choose, he will not give up Lin Yi, this kid, this is an important puzzle for his success on the court.

Ferguson's visit and congratulations are just a small episode after the game, and will not affect the carnival of Porto people, especially those crazy Portuguese fans. For the first time, they can sing their club loudly in front of English fans. This night is a dream for them.

Although Mourinho and his team were far away in England, his wife had called him and told him that the whole city of Porto was now in a frenzy.

At the end of the game, all the fans who were loyal to the Porto team wore the team's traditional blue and white striped shirts, held up the Porto team flag and commemorative scarves, walked out of their homes, and poured into the streets, shouting the names of the head coach Mourinho and the club's chairman Da Costa.

However, the name that those people shouted the most was Lin Yi. Tammy even joked with her husband and asked Mourinho if he would feel jealous.

At least hundreds of thousands of Porto people joined this carnival party. They cheered and celebrated the team's victory over Manchester United, which seemed insurmountable before the game. This madness was no less than the night when Porto won the UEFA Cup a few months ago.

"Jose, if you bring the European Champions League back to Porto one day, maybe these crazy people will regard you as God."

"I will never be God, but I will try my best to win to the end. There are still five games. Maybe my team and I can do it."

Listening to Tammy who seemed very excited on the other end of the phone, Mourinho has now set his sights on Schalke, where is the end.

The fans' madness is simple, they are just releasing their emotions, but the way the club chairman Da Costa celebrates is also crazy.

One million euros, this is the cash check he wrote in front of everyone on the flight back to Porto on the night of the game. The winning bonus for two games is what he promised, but it has increased from 500,000 euros to 1 million euros.

"Boys, I'm waiting for you to really drain my checkbook. This is your reward for entering the quarterfinals. I promise there will be more in the future."

A very generous bonus, which made the entire cabin full of cheers from the Porto players, who were praising the boss's generosity.

"Boss, the prize money for our finals is set at 3 million euros." Lin Yi did not forget to squeeze Da Costa at this time.

"No problem, as long as you can get the European Champions League back, I will fulfill my promise." Da Costa now seems quite generous.

"Oh, I forgot to say, it's after-tax." Lin Yi's next sentence almost choked Da Costa to death, after-tax! ? Do you want me to die! ?

Lin Yi now looked at Da Costa with a cunning face, but this boss who was very generous just now chose to be timid this time.

A bonus of 3 million euros after tax, it is estimated that Porto's transfer funds will be reduced by half next season, otherwise he will really go bankrupt.

Although this is just a little prank by Lin Yi to squeeze his boss, it cannot be denied that Da Costa is generous with money.

This is not a decision made by Da Costa on impulse. He knows that he can't be stingy at this time, especially after entering the Champions League knockout stage.

Besides, he only paid one million euros, but the profit that Porto got in these two games far exceeded his payment.

Relying on these two home and away games against Manchester United, Porto has made nearly three million euros in appearance fees, winning bonuses and ticket revenue.

And so far, they have successfully pocketed 15 million euros in revenue by participating in this season's European Champions League.

Stocks, Da Costa has not yet counted the gains in the capital market. He dares to guarantee that Porto's stocks will soar after the opening tomorrow.

At this time, Da Costa is willing to invest. Every step forward of Porto in the Champions League can bring millions of euros to the club.

He doesn't know what the final result will be. Anyway, when everything has entered a benign track, he dares to spend a lot of money to buy people's hearts.

The quarterfinals, this was originally an unattainable goal for Porto, but when it was really achieved, everyone's desire began to expand.

Let's win like crazy! Nothing is impossible in this world. Going to Schalke? Now, that's not a dream!

Lin Yi looked at the night sky outside the cabin and stretched hard, ending a crazy night. He enjoyed the joy of winning.

Next opponent? Whoever he wants, we have to win! This black-haired kid is becoming everyone's focus!

(There are so many news about the Heat recently... The Little Emperor even hopes that his jersey can be retired by the Cavaliers... Is this... a naked provocation? Just for Friday's game, he wants to enjoy more boos? Now the Little Emperor has been completely demonized, great media, thank you for your tireless work... You have proved that whether you want to praise someone or destroy someone, you can do it.)
