The Porto players, who had been excited all night on the plane, saw the most touching scene when they walked out of the Porto airport.

Due to the delay of the English flight, they arrived at the Porto airport at more than 4 a.m., but even so, on this very cold rainy night, there were still more than 6,000 Porto fans waiting at the airport to welcome the heroes back.

No one was still reserved at this time, even Da Costa had finally joined the carnival team, and the airport was full of cheers.

However, the price of this carnival was that eight people in the Porto team had a high fever caused by the cold rain, including Lin Yi.

The unlucky boy's jersey was thrown away when he was carnival at the airport. In the end, he slipped onto the bus with his bare chest.

It was a small matter to be bare-chested. Lin Yi almost lost his virginity at the Porto airport. Among the more than 6,000 fans, at least half were women.

Moreover, half of these women were basically from Lin Yi's cheering group. Lin Yi was surrounded by a sea of ​​flaming red lips as soon as he got off the plane.

When this kid slipped onto the team bus, he had at least dozens of lip prints on his body and face, and even seven or eight kiss marks on his back.

This made Deco and the others melancholy. They vowed that after the season, they would have plastic surgery and must look like a young boy when they came out to meet people!

The carnival at the airport lasted for at least an hour, which made most of the Porto players a little sleep-deprived, and the team was forced to take a day off.

Even when Mourinho appeared at the training ground on the morning of the third day, he felt a little dizzy, not to mention the group of players who were so high.

The price of carnival, but fortunately, at least Mourinho would not need to worry about the Portuguese Super League because of the sudden loss of such a large number of players.

His large-scale rotation some time ago has found too many solutions for Porto. Even if he plays as a pure substitute, he may not lose.

Moreover, this weekend, Porto will face the bottom team of the league, Amadoya. It is estimated that even Mourinho can beat the opponent with his eyes closed.

But now Mourinho's mind is not all on the Portuguese Super League. He is more concerned about who his next opponent will be.

With Porto defeating Manchester United and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the curtain of the entire quarterfinals has fallen and the eight teams have been finalized.

However, there are not many shadows of traditional giants in the list of the quarterfinals this time. This is different from previous years. There are fewer grievances between giants.

Like Real Madrid defeated Bayern and Deportivo La Coruna defeated Juventus, the chance of the strong teams meeting head-on has become smaller and smaller.

AC Milan, Deportivo La Coruna, Porto, Lyon, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Monaco, this is the list of the quarterfinals, but only three teams can be regarded as traditional giants, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal, such teams are regular visitors to the Champions League.

"The most civilian Champions League match", this is the outside world's evaluation of the Champions League quarterfinals, a bit derogatory, but also very accurate.

Teams like Porto, Lyon, and Monaco can be regarded as the kings in their own leagues, but in the Champions League, they are more often just a group of accompanying the prince to study. It is indeed not accustomed for many people to be the host for a while.

More fans and media are still happy to see more giants on the list of the quarterfinals, and such games are exciting enough for them.

Compared with Monaco and Deportivo La Coruna, it is estimated that more fans still like to watch the super collision of strong confrontations like AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Even those sponsors and TV broadcasters are not interested in such a list. This group of novices is not profitable for them at all.

If the contract has not been signed, it is estimated that those broadcasters will definitely apply for a refund. There are not many people who really like the game without giants.

Except for the fans of these novice teams who will jump up and shout, it is estimated that not many people will pay for their performances. This is a losing business.

As football is becoming a "rich man's game", the newcomers have won the respect of the world. There will only be winners and no losers in this game.

However, in the business circle of football, these newcomers are still marginal teams, and their various revenues may be lower than those in the group stage.

But Porto is an exception. The crazy performances of these barbarians at the Bernabeu and Old Trafford still aroused the interest of many people.

Especially the black-haired boy, many people are speculating what he will do in the next game, and whether the ghostly pass will appear again.

This may be the only second-class citizen that the fans pay attention to. Just because of a little guy, they have a lot more fans invisibly.

Now it is not known who Porto's opponent is, but many people are ready to book their home tickets at the Dragon Stadium in advance.

For no other reason, many people just want to see the magical performance of the black-haired boy in the Dragon Stadium, which is really a sensory enjoyment.

Just like Lin Yi sent two very ghostly passes in the two games against Manchester United, this kid has been remembered by too many people.

What do fans watch when they watch a game? Of course, only beautiful goals and performances like Lin Yi's can win more applause.

It is estimated that even a new and powerful team like Chelsea, which is full of stars, cannot be more prosperous than Porto at this time, because they lack star flavor.

With a lot of money from the Russians, Chelsea can now be considered a quasi-rich club, but only if it wins enough trophies.

In particular, there is no one in their team who can attract others' attention. The Blues still lack a factor that makes people crazy.

This is not because Peter Kenyon is reluctant to spend money to buy people, but because Chelsea's acquisitions are so fierce that they have frightened many teams.

Superstars like Ronaldo and Beckham can sometimes not be bought with money, not to mention that they themselves are not short of money.

Honor, hope, and heritage are all what Chelsea lack now, which is why Abramovich is so aggressive in acquiring talents from all walks of life.

Just like the quotation and transaction conditions he asked Peter Kenyon to give to Mendes, as long as he can buy it, he will never be stingy.

Anyway, now both the English teams and those from the European continent have positioned Chelsea as a group of bad robbers.

However, Stamford Bridge CEO Peter Kenyon doesn't care how others position Chelsea. Every step forward is a victory for him.

If you want to grab something from the mouths of these traditional wealthy families, then don't care about your own methods. Throwing money is the most effective way.

Do you have a tradition? OK, that was your glorious past. Chelsea are not envious. In Peter Kenyon's view, they are writing history.

That is the future that belongs to Chelsea and has nothing to do with anyone else. One day, Stamford Bridge will definitely become a terrifying home stadium from hell.

Chelsea is now a blank sheet of paper. As long as it can continue to move forward, Peter Kenyon will be very satisfied. Quarterfinals? NO, this is just the beginning.

Especially after seeing Manchester United being defeated, he felt more confident to compete with his old club in public. Who made him a winner?

I don’t know if this guy is deliberately looking for trouble with Ferguson. Anyway, in his post-game press conference, he mentioned Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

Peter Kenyon certainly knew what kind of performance Lin Yi performed at Old Trafford, so he once again took the initiative to talk about the transfer.

"Chelsea will always open its door to world superstars or potential rookies. What we want to build is a century-old club."

"Lin Yi? Why not? We will continue to pursue such an outstanding talent and will never give up any possibility easily."

I don’t know if Peter Kenyon’s remarks will continue to cause a war of words between him and Manchester United supporters. Anyway, this guy’s goal has been achieved, regardless of whether Manchester United is really seeking Lin Yi. , as long as they mess up this market, they will be victorious.

However, Ferguson did not accept Peter Kenyon's provocation this time. Maybe the old man was also busy dealing with internal and external difficulties.

Or maybe the old man hasn't fully woken up from the nightmare of losing to Porto, and he is unwilling to engage in such a boring war of words.

But this old guy had already called Mendes in advance, and he said to Mendes, "Well, boy, I'm going to make a decision!"

Mendes didn't even have a chance to refute, so Ferguson directly put down the phone. This kind of forced buying and selling behavior made Mendes very melancholy.

"Who is begging whom?" Mendes really had no idea what to do about the old Scottish man's temper, and he couldn't make sense of it at all.

But now Mendes is happy to see these giants competing for it. The more this happens, the higher Lin Yi's worth will be.

Especially direct competitors like Manchester United and Chelsea, if they don't want to see the other party's strength increase, they will throw money at them.

Personal treatment, transfer fees, these key conditions for transfers will be driven up by such competition, and Mendes wishes it would be like this.

This is a world that needs news, especially those well-known clubs. Even if they spend money to buy people, they can turn the world upside down.

"It's already so hyped just after entering the quarter-finals? If it reaches the semi-finals or even the finals, then this kid will definitely set a new transfer record."

Mendes was sitting in his living room thinking about Lin Yi's future, but now even he couldn't predict what would happen this summer.

Porto has reached the quarter-finals, and they have successfully eliminated a big team, plus the goal of defending the league title.

Except for the league championship trophy, which still needs a few games to get, all the season goals on Mourinho's notepad have been achieved.

Now they can completely relax themselves to deal with future games. At least for Mourinho, he does not have any pressure now.

Da Costa also told Mourinho that no matter whether they can continue to advance in the Champions League, they are already the best.

Especially after eliminating Manchester United, the Porto second team led by Mourinho defeated the Amadoya team, which was already at the bottom of the league, 6:0 in the away game.

They ended the Portuguese Super League schedule of that poor team ahead of schedule. After 26 rounds of games, the opponent only got 11 league points.

Although there are still eight games to play, the gap with the fourth from the bottom is almost 20 points. I am afraid that even they themselves have lost the idea of ​​relegation.

Facing such a team that has lost its fighting spirit, Porto has no pressure at all even if all the players on the field are substitutes.

Alberto, the young striker, performed a hat trick, and even Bosingwa, who played as a substitute, got three assists. This is a massacre.

Now Mourinho can easily control any league, even if the main players in his team are basically all in rotation.

This is also the first time Mourinho has played a game with a full substitute lineup, but he said before the game started that it would be a big win.

After winning this game, Porto has opened up a gap of 18 points with Benfica, who is ranked behind them in the standings.

With eight league games left, they can basically guarantee the league championship, which is a result without any suspense.

Even Benfica's fat chairman Villariño publicly told the media that the war between Benfica and Porto in the league is basically over now. Their current task is to maintain the second place in the league and not let Sporting Lisbon step on their heads again.

However, the fat man who never admits defeat still shouted at Porto that his Benfica team will wait for Porto in the League Cup final.

It's just that Mourinho doesn't like to pay attention to this boring guy now. You have lost twice in the league. Can you definitely turn around in the cup?

Now Porto has such dominance in Portugal. They will not easily lose any game. Even a draw has become an honor for them. Even former competitors have to admit that the gap between them is irreparable.

But Villariño can only keep his mouth shut like this, otherwise, he really can't explain to the board of directors where the huge investment this season has gone. Not only has there been no breakthrough in the European war, but now he is left far behind by his opponents in the league, and he is already exhausted.

If they lose to Porto again in the cup, it may not be long before this fat man is kicked out of Benfica Club.

As for the head coach Toni, who was once highly expected by Villariño, he was fired by Benfica after ten rounds of the league.

I really don't know what those Benfica fans feel at this moment. Watching Lin Yi and Mourinho, who once belonged to them, shine in the Champions League, while their team can only chase Porto desperately, it is really a very ironic picture.

Maybe this is what God means. He makes the world full of uncertainty and various weird development possibilities, and everything is unpredictable.

Mourinho has long been accustomed to such challenges. Now he is most concerned about who the next opponent in the Champions League will be.

Three days after Porto's league title was completely out of suspense, UEFA selected Mourinho's opponent for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Lyon from Ligue 1 is a strong team that also dominates the French Ligue 1, but Mourinho seems to be very satisfied with such a match.

As long as they don't run into big teams in a row, that's Mourinho's idea. He doesn't care about the other four teams, no matter who they run into.

That's a contest on the same level, whether it's Monaco, Deportivo La Coruna, Lyon, or even Chelsea, it's acceptable.

Now that they can be drawn to fight with Lyon, it's not a bad decision for Mourinho, not to mention that he is not afraid of French teams at all.

It's just that when Lyon's goalkeeper Coupet said that sentence in an interview with the French media, "There is no task that the French can't complete."

When Coupet said this, the players of Porto gathered in the team's meeting room to watch the video footage of Lyon's game.

When Lin Yi heard Coupe say this, he couldn't help but laugh, "This guy, really thinks he is Napoleon?"

"Hey, if he is Napoleon, it's easy to deal with. If it's a short guy guarding the goal for Lyon, I can shoot crazy."

"Hey, then when can you score a goal? Do we need to give you the chance when there is a penalty in the next game?"

McCarthy and others laughed after hearing what Lin Yi said, but the South African did not forget to squeeze Lin Yi's embarrassment for not scoring in several games.

"Fuck you! Don't expect me to pass the ball to you in the next game!" In order to cover up his embarrassment, Lin Yi could only threaten McCarthy fiercely.

This is the pre-war mentality of the Porto team. They are now completely free of any pressure. Even if the opponent is a strong team in Ligue 1, what can it do?

We can kill Manchester United, and we can also kill you! Those who stand in my way will die. This is the motto of the Porto team now. This is a group of desperate people.

Two weeks later, Porto and Lyon will start the first round of the match at the Dragon Stadium. They will then tell the French with their actions.

There are still tasks in this world that you will never be able to complete, such as successfully retreating from the Dragon Stadium. This is your fantasy!

The black-haired kid and the group of crazy people around him have been ready for a long time. The current Porto team is absolutely terrifying.

And Lin Yi is the source of all the terror. . .

(What kind of unclean food did Adelman feed the Rockets today to make them so fierce?)
