Chapter 179

The Triple Crown is a title that many giants are looking forward to, but when the Porto team lifted the Champions League, they had already been written into history.

They are the fifth team in the entire history of the Champions League to win this honor. Only Celtic, Ajax, PSV and Manchester United in 1999 have reached this height, but now Porto People can also proudly announce to everyone that they have become a great member.

Maybe the French media will say sourly after the game that the Portuguese league is not at a high level and that the results of this Triple Crown have too much water.

But they seem to have forgotten that the level of the Eredivisie and the Scottish Premiership a few decades ago did not seem to be much higher than the current Portuguese Super League. History is history and cannot be tampered with.

Even if they complained about the linesman's misjudgment and tried to downplay the Porto people's achievements, it was impossible to change their fate of failure.

But Mourinho and his team just smiled lightly at their remarks, because they all knew what they had done this year.

Apart from that one defeat that was a bit depressing, they had no opponents in the league, and they even beat their old enemy Benfica in the Portuguese Cup.

Who dares to say that they can guarantee such dominance in their own league? Don't talk about how bad Benfica's lineup is. If they are undefeated, they are undefeated.

This cannot be changed. It is estimated that even when Manchester United won the Triple Crown, they relied on a little luck rather than such strong dominance.

Don’t forget, in the UEFA Cup last season, this group of Porto people also won all the way to the end. They have won the final victory in the European finals twice in a row. This is definitely not just good luck. To cover up their fatal madness.

In the Champions League, they may have had luck helping them, but it cannot be denied that these Portuguese lunatics have eaten away too many strong teams.

Manchester United, Lyon, Deportivo, plus Real Madrid and Marseille they encountered in the group stage, their journey has not been easy.

No one was really optimistic about them from the beginning, and even at the end of the first game of the group stage, many people had already pinned them on the elimination list.

But this group of lunatics gnawed away all their opponents bit by bit, and their oozing fangs were already stained with the blood of those opponents.

This is a group of hungry wolves, they hungrily gnaw at the confidence of their opponents, knocking down the teams that hindered their progress one by one.

The final outcome of all opponents was to completely surrender at the feet of the Porto team. This group of Portuguese, who seemed to be very crazy, had the last laugh.

Under the leadership of Mourinho and the strong performance of those madmen, the Porto people finally stood on the top of the European podium again.

Seventeen years has been a long enough waiting process, but now the people of Porto can shout loudly, they have become the kings of Europe again! ! !

In the final decisive battle, their victory was impeccable. From the beginning to the end, the rhythm of the game was in the hands of the Porto people.

This is the Porto team that has once again become the focus of attention across Europe after winning the UEFA Cup last year. However, behind these winners are those French people who look lonely. Deschamps, who experienced endless glory in his player days, finally realized this time To the bitterness that comes with losing.

The French's only honor is that Morientes became the Champions League scorer with 9 goals. Maybe this award can slightly heal their pain.

But when those French people saw Lin Yi and the others raising their big-ear cups, these proud French people still lowered their heads silently.

There was no way they could be more gentlemanly at this time, at least the Monaco players had forgotten to say goodbye to the French fans in the stands.

But no one cares about this anymore, because the whole of France is now immersed in this kind of loss, and no one is willing to face such a failure.

But when the game ended, Deschamps sorted out his mood, walked to the carnival team in Porto, and expressed his congratulations.

At this moment Mourinho doesn't mind shaking hands with his opponents, since he is already the winner anyway, and he doesn't need to be as frustrated as the French.

"You have a great team and Porto deserves the victory in this game.", these were the last words Deschamps said before turning around.

He didn't wait for Mourinho to answer. Maybe this Frenchman, who is equally tough at heart, now needs to find a corner to lick his wounds.

This game will leave a deep imprint on Deschamps' mind, and perhaps many years later, he will also think of everything that happened in this game.

That was probably the most painful defeat in his life. Not only did he lose the honor of the championship, but it also became a stepping stone for his opponents to successfully reach the top of Europe.

The battle between the two young coaches ended in a disastrous defeat for the French. Maybe they will have confrontations in the future, but Deschamps is now 0:1 behind.

Mourinho would not disturb the other party rudely at this time. He understood how a loser felt, but he still answered the Frenchman's congratulations softly, "Yes, man, Porto is a It’s a great team, and I brought it to life.”

The war between him and Deschamps is over, now that he is the victor, Mourinho will not shy away from the glory of such a victory.

All Porto people were enjoying the title of European Champions. When those Porto players got on the podium, the whole place went crazy.

However, when the Monaco team members stepped onto the podium first, the Porto fans applauded enthusiastically, showing their respect for the losers.

But this is just a courtesy. No one minds using applause to appease the injured at this time, but there can only be one winner in the end.

Colorful confetti was flying in the sky, and the shiny trophy was raised high. Lin Yi, who was already standing at the highest point of the podium, showed this glory to everyone.

This is the carnival season for Porto people. In Germany and Portugal, more people will join this carnival and worship this glorious moment.

Da Costa was already standing on the side of the court at this moment, watching his team roar and shout wantonly on the podium, and he was also immersed in the cheers.

Champagne was sprayed freely in the crowd, and even Mourinho no longer had his usual serious expression at this moment. He was also enjoying the victory.

But Da Costa did not join in the carnival. Although he had a smile on his face, his heart was not as relaxed as those players showed.

Just a few minutes ago, when he walked out of the VIP stand, he accidentally saw Mendes talking to someone else not far away. Although he did not hear the full content of the conversation between the two people, that person He was very familiar with the person, that was Peter Kenyon, the CEO of Chelsea.

Da Costa has already heard about the football giants who are trying to acquire Linyi and other Porto players, and he knows that this is inevitable.

Just like the agreement Mendes made with himself before the start of the season, the black-haired little guy will not play in Porto until he retires.

Chelsea and the Premier League giants have expressed their determination to acquire Lin Yi, and Da Costa has long known the final outcome.

Look at that little guy's performance in the final. Two goals and one assist. I'm afraid no one will refuse to introduce such a wizard on the field.

It's just that Da Costa didn't think about whether the little guy would feel sad if he really left Porto in his free time.

He also wanted to keep that little guy, even if the price was to refuse the tempting call of money, he was willing, but he knew that it was just a fantasy.

Even if the Porto team can meet all the requirements put forward by Mendes, in order to win more honors, the boy will definitely choose to leave his hometown.

Especially since Mourinho has decided to leave, the little guy's departure is only a matter of time, and the outcome has already been doomed.

But seeing such a scene at such a moment of celebration still gave Da Costa a hint of unnoticeable melancholy while cheering.

This night of May 26th means the end for Morientes and Monaco, and also means the farewell to the upcoming summer.

This is not only an issue that Monaco has to consider. When the people of Porto are celebrating, they are also about to face such a difficult choice about the future of the team.

"I had an almost perfect time at Porto. This season I experienced was almost a dream moment. We won almost all the honors we could win. The next step will probably be another new stage in my coaching career. , I will continue to strive for new honors.”

This was Mourinho's victory speech to all reporters at the press conference after the game. The end sometimes also represents the beginning.

Mourinho has made it very clear. He also refused the media's continued questioning on this topic. Now, he just wants to enjoy the victory.

There was a champagne bath waiting for him in the Porto dressing room. It was a private space for him and his players, and he didn't want to be disturbed.

This may be the only regret for the Porto people. The guy who led them to the top of Europe seems to have decided to leave.

This is the ending they all know. At such a moment of celebration, those crazy Portuguese people still choose to forget these unpleasant things.

Even Da Costa didn't react dissatisfied to Mourinho's words. He even took the initiative to step forward and hug Mourinho.

"You gave all Porto people a fantastic season, thank you, José." At this moment, all Da Costa wanted to express was gratitude.

Regarding the future, maybe he will wish Mourinho and those who are leaving good luck, at least these people once created a miracle in Porto.

Including the little guy, Da Costa just wants to send his most sincere blessings to those guys who have won honors for Porto.

As for Lin Yi, perhaps when he lifted the Champions League, a battle for him had already begun. . .

(Comrade Dayao, it’s better to retire. The provincial Alexander has not decided whether to renew his contract. That person no longer values ​​your future very much.)
