One month is not a long time for Porto and Monaco. They have tried their best to adjust their status during this period.

It's just that Monaco people are not as comfortable as Porto people. After all, Monaco still has to fight hard with Lyon, Marseille and other teams in Ligue 1.

At this time, no one will give up the Ligue 1 league championship. Monaco can only chase Lyon's footsteps desperately.

And the guys of Porto are already holding two championship trophies and waiting for the final decisive day of the Champions League.

This practice of watching the opponent continue to fight hard is really shameless, but Porto people are now quite happy to do this kind of thing of watching the fire from the other side.

When the night of May 26th comes, you can ask the French what their biggest wish is? Monaco fans will definitely tell you that their biggest wish now is not to see the name of the black-haired boy in the starting list of Porto.

And Porto fans will tell you the opposite answer to the French. Lin Yi has now become a topic of common concern for the two teams.

The French regarded Lin Yi as a nightmare, while the Porto people regarded him as the key to the team's victory. In addition, he also served as a part-time mascot.

There was no way, because this boy with a handsome face could bring good luck to the Porto people as long as he played. He deserved the title of mascot.

But Mourinho was destined to disappoint the French, because when the Porto team's plane landed at the airport in Gelkirchen, Lin Yi was in the Porto team. However, whether Lin Yi could really play smoothly in the game, I am afraid only Mourinho himself knew.

However, those French reporters would feel melancholy even when they saw that boy. They really didn't want this little guy to kill the French team three times in a row.

And when the boy walked out of the airport, he didn't look as depressed as a month ago, just a little bit listless.

But at the airport, Lin Yi only left a back view to the French. He didn't even answer any questions from the reporters, and just walked away in silence.

Not only the French, but also the Portuguese media did not get the opportunity to interview Lin Yi. This may be the first time that Lin Yi refused to answer questions.

No one can guess what the boy is thinking now, at least the French can't. This feeling of doubt is not good for Deschamps.

Compared with Mourinho, Monaco has no secrets now. Even if the opponent closes his eyes and guesses, he can still arrange Monaco's starting lineup.

After all, compared with those giants, Monaco does not have many luxurious substitutes now, and their main list is almost obvious.

Porto seems to be much luckier than Monaco. They can at least find a group of combative people on the bench, which is also a gap.

Mourinho's training and rotation of young players have brought many benefits, which does make Monaco seem a little behind in personnel adjustments.

However, this cannot be blamed on Deschamps. After all, the Monaco he led in the French Ligue 1 is not as rampant as Porto in the Portuguese Super League.

Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, these teams can cause trouble for Monaco in the league, but Porto does not have this trouble.

Deschamps does not have the convenient conditions like Mourinho. He cannot make too many personnel adjustments for Monaco, and it is impossible for him to guess what Mourinho is thinking now. This is not because his intelligence work is backward, but whether Lin Yi plays or not, it is really too different.

That's right, even if that little guy does not play, Porto can still beat the opponent in recent games, but Deschamps knows very well that Porto's offensive sharpness will be much worse with or without that kid on the court, which even Deco cannot make up for.

Those Portuguese did a good job of keeping this intelligence confidential. They even trained in Porto in a closed manner.

The whole city is on alert. As long as there are reporters wandering around the training base, security personnel will come out to intervene, which makes French reporters very melancholy.

Porto didn't give anyone a chance to get information. This kind of strict defense was a headache. At least the French media didn't get any valuable information. Now Deschamps had to spend a lot of effort to guess the opponent's tactical intentions and possible starting lineups, which really made him headache.

Choose two front midfielders or one front midfielder? Two strikers or one striker? This seemingly simple change will bring a different fatal feeling.

Will the opponent choose 4-4-2? Or 4-5-1? This is really a difficult problem. Deschamps has been worried about it for a whole week.

The difficult problem Mourinho gave Deschamps really gave the French a headache, which has seriously affected Monaco's tactical arrangements.

Should I spend more effort on the defensive level? Looking at the list of his team's personnel, Deschamps has begun to become a little hesitant.

This is exactly the purpose of Mourinho's smoke bomb. He just wants to make those French people nervous until the last moment. He is not in a hurry to reveal the answer.

Anyway, only people inside the team know the boy's recovery. Absent? Starting? Halftime? Super substitute? All of these are possible.

Even the local newspapers in Porto have not found out the news, and you still expect the French to know it? Mourinho doesn't mind continuing to hide it.

"Let those French people continue to be so confused. Let the opponent walk onto the court with a bunch of questions. This is the result we want to see most."

Looking at the French reporters chasing closely, Brito teased Mourinho with his opponent on the bus leaving the airport.

"Our opponent is not stupid. He knows how to deal with such a situation. But it's not bad to cause him some trouble."

Mourinho knows Deschamps well. With that guy's steady character, Monaco will definitely make full preparations in advance.

But he doesn't care whether the opponent is ready or not, because there is a little guy in Porto who can create miracles at any time.

But looking back at the kid who has fallen asleep on the seat of the bus, Mourinho knows how hard this kid has been training in the past ten days.

In order to catch up with the final battle of the Champions League, the little guy has basically survived the hellish super-intensive training in the past week.

Even Mourinho would be horrified by Faria's way of adjusting the players' bodies, not to mention Lin Yi, who had just recovered from an injury. In any case, every time he saw the little guy this week, he was exhausted like a dead dog.

But this kid managed to survive. Even Faria told Mourinho in private that Lin Yi was a bit ruthless.

As long as he is determined, don't try to shake him easily. This time, his recovery from injury and physical adjustment speed are just like a madman.

In fact, at the airport, it was not that this kid was playing cool and silent, but that he was too tired to talk to others due to recent training.

In addition to the several hours of flight, those reporters still planned to pry open Lin Yi's mouth? I guess that kid doesn't want to talk to anyone now.

Otherwise, this kid wouldn't sleep like a dead pig as soon as he got on the bus, and his teammates around him couldn't wake him up even if they kept talking.

"There are two days left. Let's give the little guy a break. In the last two days, we will only keep a simple warm-up for field adaptation and reduce the intensity of training."

Before the big battle, Mourinho also adjusted the team's training plan very humanely. Now all Porto needs to do is to relax as much as possible.

A good attitude is beneficial to the game. There is no need to keep the players on edge forever. Excessive attention can sometimes be counterproductive.

The hotel where the Porto team stayed this time was also very particular. After studying together, Da Costa and Mourinho finally decided on a hotel in Castrop-Rauxel. Castrop-Rauxel is less than 26 kilometers away from the final city of Gelkirchen, and the transportation is very convenient.

The most important thing is that the team that has stayed in this hotel can generally win the next game, and this record has been for more than 20 years.

The football circle is sometimes so superstitious, just like Milu's red clothes, this kind of psychological suggestion will always exist.

It can give players such psychological hints before the game, which sometimes produces a magical effect, and even Mourinho does not object to this.

Maybe even Mourinho himself believes this a little bit. After all, in this kind of game, the more factors are favorable to oneself, the easier the game will be.

But what's interesting is that the room where Mourinho lives is actually the one where Ranieri lived a year ago. This can't be said to be a coincidence.

Last time, the Italian guy defeated his opponent here smoothly. Mourinho hopes that this luck will follow him and bless him with victory.

Now it seems that the unlucky old Italian not only gave up the room he once lived in to Mourinho, but also lost his position as coach.

Just three days ago, Chelsea officially announced that Ranieri's contract had been perfectly resolved after negotiations between the two parties.

In fact, this is just a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, the Italian was fired, but this time he can get a lot of compensation.

And his position as coach will remain until the end of the league. In the case of no hope of winning the league, Abramovich finally chose to kill.

This kind of dismissal news that broke out before the end of the season will more or less shake Chelsea's morale, but the Russians don't care.

The Russians can say that they don't care about the huge transfer fees spent by Ranieri when he was in office, let alone the issue of whether a head coach stays or leaves.

Peter Kenyon treated it as a large sum of money to buy the position of the Italian, and at the same time, he called on all coaches.

Otherwise, he would not be so anxious to break the news in front of the media. The underlying meaning of this news is to recruit those ambitious people.

Especially for the two masters who dominated the Champions League final this time, Peter Kenyon himself chose to go to the scene in person, as if he came specifically to select coaches.

This Champions League final is not only a bit strange for the two teams, but also the head coaches of the two teams are a bit unusual to attract attention.

These two young coaches are basically certain to leave the team next season, and Deschamps has already confirmed his departure a month ago.

Porto, which has always been very shy about this news, also admitted the news, and even Da Costa acquiesced in the media.

Although Porto people are reluctant to let this strong coach go away, they also know that it is a matter of time.

If they can successfully win the championship in Germany, then Mourinho will undoubtedly reach the peak of his career in Porto, but this peak is unsurpassed. Even Mourinho himself knows that he can't continue this extraordinary brilliant achievement in Porto.

It has to be admitted that Porto can make it to this point in the Champions League this time. In addition to their strong strength, they are also very lucky.

The state of many giants is very strange. Collective downturn has provided soil for the breeding of dark horses in this competition, but this opportunity is not always available.

The traditional giants who have learned from their mistakes will definitely make a lot of supplements this summer, and the space left for those dark horses next season will definitely become very small.

"I am not the omnipotent God yet, so I can't let the glory of miracles shine forever on Porto. This is a very cruel reality."

Waste time in a place where there is no breakthrough, this is not acceptable to Mourinho, so he has made up his mind to leave.

Porto is also ready to find a successor, and Da Costa has already circled a few candidates within a limited range of choices.

Just let him let go of his meritorious coach, this guy always shows a little reluctance, but this result seems difficult to change.

Few people expressed dissatisfaction with the news that Mourinho might leave, and more fans still showed an emotion of difficulty in letting go.

After all, it was this guy who led Porto to the final, and before that, he led Porto to win two championship titles.

And it was also this guy who took less than two years to turn the crazy people in Porto into a strong army.

Some people who are interested in doing this have done some calculations for the Porto team. The entire Porto team has almost doubled in value in two years. Two years ago, the team was only worth 60 million euros in the European market. In the past two years, they have increased in value by at least 100 million euros.

For the transfer offers made by many teams to the players of Porto in private, many players are several times more expensive than two years ago, or even more.

Two years ago, Ferreira only cost Porto less than 1 million euros in transfer fees. Now, he has been successfully selected into the 2003 European Best Team, and his value has risen to 15 million euros, and this is only the current offer, not the final transaction price.

Like Carvalho, if you want to take this iron guard away from Porto, it is best not to talk about the transfer issue without 18 million euros.

Let alone a little beast like Lin Yi. Before the final, Chelsea had already said that no matter whether this kid could play in the final or not, they had already called out a purchase price of 20 million euros to Porto, and this was not necessarily Chelsea's final offer.

You know, this time Ferguson was also desperate. He even directly telegraphed Porto that the two sides could exchange players between the teams.

The old man almost yelled, "You can choose any player from Manchester United. As long as you can transfer that kid to me, everything will be fine!"

And the player exchange is not included in Lin Yi's transfer fee. As long as Da Costa agrees, Ferguson can let the two teams have more exchanges.

Even on the issue of Porto's application to join G14, Manchester United will extend its hand of friendship at the right time at certain critical moments.

Now it can be seen that this Scottish old man who lost the league championship and the qualification for the Champions League quarterfinals is a little angry this time.

In order to get Lin Yi, Ferguson now dares to say that he is willing to pay any price, including exchanging existing players with Porto.

Now it can be said that many marketing directors responsible for team transfers have gathered in Germany. They are all waiting for the guys who want to acquire Porto. As long as Da Costa lets go, his Porto team's main lineup will be dismembered overnight.

And Monaco has the same fate. Although their Prince of Monaco has publicly said that he will support the team, everyone knows that it is just a rhetoric.

Now Giuly and Rothen in the team have become prey pursued by many European powerhouses, just waiting for Monaco to nod their heads.

However, before the summer transfer wave begins to invade Porto, Mourinho still has to eliminate all distractions and prepare for the final decisive battle.

And Mourinho made a promise before the game for the first time. He assured Chairman Da Costa that "the last one to lift the trophy must be Porto." Da Costa is also very optimistic about the prospects of the game. He hopes that Porto can lift the Champions League again after 18 years.

Regardless of what will happen in the summer, at least at this moment, Porto's supporters believe that their team will be invincible.

And the guys who gave them such confidence are now shamelessly playing with their wives and children in the hotel, including Mourinho.

This is also the first time that Da Costa has made such a decision. He allows all Porto players to bring their families to Germany, including some staff members' families. For Da Costa, if the game is won, celebrating with his family is the most perfect.

No one would object to the chairman's gift, but it was not good news for Lin Yi because he had no family.

But Mourinho's daughter soon broke Lin Yi's wish to be alone. The little girl still couldn't forget Lin Yi's body.

Lin Yi also didn't forget that it was this little witch who made him a nanny in front of tens of thousands of people last time. This time he had to keep his virginity!

But when the little girl pounced on him with her teeth and claws, her rosy little lips were still printed on Lin Yi's face with unusual accuracy.

"Your girl is choosing her future husband." Brito also teased Mourinho on the side, which made Mourinho look helpless. Alas, woman.

In the happy atmosphere, it was the tranquility before the war, but all the Porto players knew that they would face a fierce battle in 48 hours.

That might be a game that many people would never have the opportunity to experience again in their lives. . .
