Midfielder
Chapter 217
Conquering the Premier League is just Mourinho's first step. Just like what he did in Portugal, the league championship is never his ultimate goal.
The long Premier League season is an assessment of a team's comprehensive ability, but the Champions League is the ultimate test of a coach's on-the-spot command ability.
Especially in the constant dialogue between strong teams, if you don't have a very strong nerve, you will never be a winner in the game.
Only when you collide with such a team, you can experience the pleasure that goes deep into your bones, which is the excitement from the game.
When you step on the bodies of countless strong teams to the end and lift the heavy trophy, you will have a feeling of conquering the world, and that feeling is irreplaceable.
The Champions League podium has a fatal attraction for any coach, and Mourinho is no exception. He wants to experience the feeling of reaching the top again. For everything he achieved in Porto last season, even now, many people still say that it was his good luck.
There were not too many traditional giants, especially after entering the knockout stage. They only had a tough battle when they killed Manchester United.
At least last season's Champions League made many giants unconvinced, they thought it was just accidents and injuries that allowed Porto to take advantage of a loophole.
If Mourinho were to replicate this miracle, that guy wouldn't even make it through the round of 16, and there are still many people who hold this idea.
Mourinho himself admitted that there were too many accidents in last season's Champions League, including AC Milan's big reversal by opponents, and many strong teams were unexpectedly eliminated, which made last season's Champions League seem inadequate, but this was not his own luck.
Every game was won by the players, including the game against Manchester United, who were always seen as weak teams that would be eliminated before the game started.
But the final result was that they won, and the win was undisputed. Even Ferguson came to the locker room after the game and said that the game belonged to Porto, and Manchester United had no chance from beginning to end. The old Sir Alex was definitely not being polite, but he was telling a real fact.
But the doubts of others will never disappear because of the words of the old Sir, unless Mourinho can win the European Cup again in Chelsea.
Otherwise, he will never be able to change the criticism of others about his Champions League title. Only by holding the trophy again can he shut up these voices.
And now if he wants to qualify from the group as soon as possible, he must kill his old club Porto, the miracle team created by him.
Facing the Champions League champion of last season at Stamford Bridge, and Mourinho and many Chelsea players are facing their old clubs for the first time in the game.
Such a gimmick will not be ignored, especially those from the Portuguese media. They really want to know what kind of state those heroes who once sweated for Porto to win the championship will show after Mourinho and those players left Porto.
Nostalgia? Or miss? Or kill? Maybe this is not only the feeling of the media, but also the players themselves.
Mourinho did not show mercy against his old club. He also sent out his entire main lineup without any backup. Even Lin Yi was included in the starting lineup. However, Lampard did not play this time. The new lineup seems to be still under investigation.
But even if Lampard is missing, it will not weaken the team's strength. Both Duff and Robben are ready to go into battle. On the striker line, Drogba will partner with Gudjohnsen this time. Mourinho is ready to use a stable 4-4-2 to deal with his old club.
This time Mourinho seemed to be intentional. He did not keep any of the players transferred from Porto. He threw them all on the field.
"This seems more like a gathering of old friends than a life-and-death Champions League match." Brito looked at Mourinho and said truthfully.
When the players who transferred from Porto walked out of the tunnel and saw their Porto jerseys hanging in Stamford Bridge, they felt like they were back in Porto. The blue and white jerseys were put on again, and they became the triple champions again.
Especially the jersey of Lin Yi, the oversized No. 20 jersey that had floated in the Dragon Stadium, was very conspicuous at this moment.
When Lin Yi saw this scene, he had a bitter smile on his lips and kept scratching his head, "These guys are forcing me to let them go."
Although this was just a joke from Lin Yi, when he saw his old teammates in the player tunnel, he couldn't help but walk over and hugged these guys one by one, pounding each of them hard on the chest, just like when they were in Porto, they were really too familiar with each other.
Even though there are too many new faces in the team now, Lin Yi will not forget his growing years under the care of old players like Costa.
Lin Yi has too many memories in Porto. That was where Lin Yi first experienced the professional league, and these guys were old friends who accompanied him through those days. Even if this was just a game, it would not change Lin Yi's feelings towards these old friends. He will always remember them.
When they came on the field, Lin Yi and Carvalho, former Porto players, after shaking hands with the players from both sides, walked to the stands where Porto fans gathered, bowed deeply to the fans, and then said The cheering Portuguese fans waved their hands vigorously.
In fact, those Porto fans can fly to England not only to cheer for the team, but also to see their former heroes.
Especially the female fans, they shouted Lin Yi's name crazily, "Porto Aunt Cheer Team", this name was not given for nothing.
"Well, Lin, you are really a killer of females..." When Drogba saw this scene, he showed unusual admiration for Lin Yi.
Well. . . Lin Yi just wants to say now that if you want it, he will not keep this treatment for himself. He would rather give it to the next successor immediately.
Women are the craziest at this time. Even if the name they shout will be their opponent later, they will not change anything.
The pre-match greetings came to an abrupt end with the referee's whistle, and were replaced by the two teams fighting and fighting in the center of the field. In such a confrontation, there was no friendship at all, and three points were scored by two goals. The goal that the team is chasing, especially Porto, who was tied in the previous game.
Porto's new coach Victor Fernandez also really wants to prove his ability in front of his predecessor, so that the Porto fans can see that he is no worse than Mourinho. It seems that those Porto fans just now The cheers for Mourinho irritated the guy.
But he seems to have forgotten that now his team can hardly even take down Army Central Moscow. Why can he guarantee to defeat Chelsea in the away game?
Even teams like Manchester United and Liverpool can't take advantage here. Can a Porto team that has just undergone a major overhaul be enough?
What's more, in order to maintain his authority in the team, this guy even ignored the guys like McCarthy. He only trusted the players he brought.
But can you expect newcomers like Quaresma and Fabiano to replace the players who once won the championship for Porto after a few rounds of games?
Maybe even Porto's president da Costa doesn't have such illusions, maybe he only regards Victor Fernandez as a firefighter.
When Deneri missed his appointment, this guy made the decision with no choice but to do so. He did not fully trust this new guy.
Facts also proved that Victor Fernandez was just a fantasy. Only seven minutes into the game, Porto's goal was knocked open by the opponent. Lin Yi's pass allowed Drogba to face Baia again. When it came time, I didn't make many adjustments at all, it was just a low and flat push.
"Wow! Our African chief! Scored another goal at a critical moment! Oh my God, what did that kid Lin Yi just do? When faced with the pressure of two people, he didn't even move on the spot. Suddenly A pass on the spot, this is simply a genius performance! "
The on-site commentator used his high-pitched voice to arouse the excitement of the entire stadium. Chelsea fans also used this method to cheer loudly for Lin Yi.
It’s not like Jorge Costa and Valente have never been teased by that kid in previous trainings, but this time, they felt a little strange, because the kid was now wearing a blue uniform, and Not that time as they once played for Porto.
Another genius performance, but this time when the Porto fans saw this scene, they were not enjoying the joy of victory and goals, but helplessly acted as victims, and the one who created this threat The little guy was once their magical boy.
Lin Yi didn't make any celebration moves. He just raised his hands toward the blue and white No. 20 jersey, and pointed his two index fingers to the sky.
When those old friends from the Porto team looked at the back of Lin Yi, they felt a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling. Perhaps only at this moment would they feel that the man who was crawling around on the Porto team's training ground a few dozen days ago The rolling little guy finally left the Porto team at this time.
It's not a separation, but Lin Yi bids farewell to his time in Porto in this way. Those beautiful moments will be engraved in his mind.
No matter how many years pass, he will never forget those wonderful moments he spent in Porto, the applause and cheers he enjoyed.
But at this moment, he belongs to Chelsea, and he wants to leave his mark here, just like he did at Porto. . .
(The Heat were defeated by the Knicks again. Sure enough, the low period was a trap... Bosh retired from injury, and the disaster began to show...)
