Midfielder

Porto's success in the UEFA Cup made the whole of Portugal extremely excited. They cheered for their country's club, which won the UEFA Cup for the first time in history. Many Portuguese people believed that Porto had written an epic victory for the country.

Although Benfica and Sporting Lisbon had once dominated the European war, that was too long ago, and Porto's championship was actually snatched from the hands of various giants, and every game was a head-on contest.

From the terrifying home court of the Turks to the high-altitude bombing of the Greeks, from the iron wall of the Italians to the crazy attack of the Celtics, Porto's journey was not simple. Every time they killed an opponent, they fought with their feet, without any tricks.

Now even Porto's mortal enemies can only choose to praise this opponent at this time. Fighting in the nest is fighting in the nest, but when it is time to unite against the outside world, those Lisbon people can still distinguish the relationship between the strong and the weak, not to mention that Porto's good results in the European war are also beneficial to them.

But watching players and coaches from their own team win the championship for the rival team is probably not a very comfortable thing.

In particular, many newspapers and magazines in Portugal have been promoting the European Cup won by Porto, and TV interviews and other programs have been promoting Mourinho's magical command and Lin Yi's shining moments after he came on the court.

All this should have belonged to the glory of the Benfica team, but now they can only watch their rivals enjoy it all. The opportunity that was once in their hands has slipped away from them. When they look back at the past, they can only sigh helplessly.

Those Benfica supporters can only watch the Porto people partying all night and enjoying the joy of the UEFA Cup championship. This kind of churning taste in their hearts is really hard to describe, after all, they have had such an opportunity before.

However, Benfica still gained something. When everyone was praising Porto, the great chairman of Benfica, Villariño, was mentioned again and again. He has been ridiculed as the real savior of Porto more than once.

Even Da Costa couldn't help but make fun of his opponent in public. He said that it was Villariño who gave the UEFA Cup championship to Porto in his own style, and he must invite Villariño to be a lifetime honorary member of Porto.

"If Villariño doesn't want anything anymore, you must pick it up home quickly, because it may be a diamond. This great act of leaving the dregs to yourself and giving the essence to others is worthy of everyone's praise."

This sentence has now spread in the Portuguese football circle. What's more, the manager in charge of transfers of Sporting Lisbon actually asked this city rival to buy some players abandoned by Benfica, which undoubtedly gave Villariño a loud slap in the face.

I really don't know how this unlucky fat guy needs to explain this embarrassing problem to his board of directors. Is there something wrong with his judgment of people? Can he misjudge three people at once? Unless this idiot fat guy really doesn't understand football.

But looking at Da Costa of Porto Club and then looking at this fat guy of his own team, I'm afraid the fans of Benfica are disappointed.

Now I'm afraid those who helped Villariño to become the chairman of the club are also beginning to regret why they believed the words of this idiot. What will make Benfica a first-class club in Europe? Damn, now it seems that this is no different from nonsense.

Porto's winning the League Cup is not the end. Starting next season, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon may face a stronger Porto player. That opponent is becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that they can only watch its back.

After winning the UEFA Cup, Porto did not start selling players. Da Costa even started preparing to enrich the team from the moment they won the championship. It is said that they have already selected several suitable candidates and are waiting for Mourinho to finalize them.

And Villariño has only brought back Nuno Gomes, whom he once promised, from Italy, but the price he paid was a contract with a high annual salary. Such a contract has also caused many main players in the team to ask for a salary increase. Alas, that unlucky fat man.

Many media in Lisbon have believed that this will be an opportunity for Porto to create its own era. Whether Benfica and Athletic are willing to admit it or not, Porto has left them far behind.

However, unlike the collective praise of the Portuguese media, the failed Celtic team does not consider itself a loser on various occasions.

The British media also generally believed that Celtic won an honorable defeat. Prime Minister Blair said that the whole of Britain was proud of Celtic, and Martin O'Neill began to be noticed by many Premier League teams because of this game. Maybe he will land in this land full of opportunities soon.

However, the two countries treated this game in a tit-for-tat manner. The Scots and the British believed that Porto was more utilitarian on the field. These Portuguese defeated the high-spirited Celtic team with calmness.

The standard tune of "The Times" is, "The passionate Celtics failed to overwhelm the calm Porto." Although they lost the game 2-4, the Celtics were full of fighting spirit and full of enthusiasm in the game. Willingness and energy, while opponents simply win on cool utility.

Super Larsson also scored two wonderful goals. They even took the absolute initiative on the field for a time. Although they failed to win the trophy in the end, the report described that for the fans of the team, this was like a once-in-a-lifetime event. Pilgrimage activities are equally worthy of deep remembrance.

But the Portuguese newspaper "La Repubblica" described this game as "great". It turned out that the Porto team had courage, strength and talent, which enabled them to win this epic victory. Although Celtic fans made up the majority of the stadium, it was the Portuguese team that conquered the trophy.

In particular, the technical and tactical level displayed by the Porto team on the court is even higher than that of the Celtics. The European Latin style has taken root in the Porto team's midfield and frontcourt. Stunned those poor Scots.

Although this kind of war of words after the game seems to have little meaning now, among these topics, there is always one person's name that is constantly being repeated, reminding everyone who pays attention to this game again and again.

Now no one can cover up the brilliance of that 15-year-old boy. On the night when the Porto team shined in Spain, Lin Yi was undoubtedly the dazzling person on the field. Although he only played for 30 minutes, these 30 minutes were enough People remember his name.

Wonderful shooting, sharp and accurate forward penetration, dazzling passing moves, and even that ghostly pass, all of which made Lin Yi a must-have when people talk about him after that night in the UEFA Cup. topic.

There was no way, the performance of that black-haired boy on the court was so amazing. He almost messed up the Celtics' defense by himself, and those two goals and a magical heel assist were even more impressive. Let him be the talk of the town after the game.

Many football big shots have begun to focus on this black-haired kid, and the topic surrounding this little guy has also started to spread, especially when the summer transfer period is approaching, surrounding this guy Various undercurrents of Hope Star are surging.

"Sir Alex is once again waving a check to acquire Portugal's new star, and Lin Yi has become the Red Devils' next prey." The British Sun, which has always been very well-informed about gossip, first disclosed the news in the newspaper.

No matter how many people are delving into the authenticity of this news, at least the Sun's headline has made many people start to daydream, especially those Red Devils fans who have watched Lin Yi's performance in the UEFA Cup final, and hope that this news it is true.

Although Ferguson did not confirm the authenticity of this matter in public, at least he did not deny that he admired Lin Yi's performance in the finals, especially when he commented on Lin Yi's role on the court for the first time in an interview.

"We need enough fresh blood to provide new excitement for the fans, Lin Yi? That little guy is great. If possible, I really hope he can come to Manchester United to play. His skills with his feet are easy to make people feel Enjoy great football.”

There was no public announcement that Manchester United would acquire Lin Yi, but the words Ferguson said in public were enough to show that he had paid attention to the black-haired boy. At least the Sun's report now does not seem to be groundless.

Mendes also told Lin Yi in private that the old man from Manchester United was indeed not joking. He really called Mendes and expressed his desire to bring Lin Yi to Manchester. desire.

But the shrewd Mendes temporarily gave up this opportunity to fly high after discussing with Lin Yi. Although the temptation of Dream Theater was great, Lin Yi chose to let himself spend another period of time in Porto.

Lin Yi's performance in the UEFA Cup was amazing enough, but with his current physical condition, it is impossible for him to win the main position immediately when he goes to England. Even if his foot skills can conquer those Anglo-Saxons, his thin body may not be able to guarantee him. What advantage do you get on the field?

Rather than playing as a substitute or playing in a youth team in an unfamiliar environment, it would be better to let Mourinho, a strict teacher, hone him for a while. At least that tough guy can save this kid from taking some detours.

In the Porto team, Lin Yi is guaranteed to be included in the final roster in almost every game, and he has laid a solid foundation here. Playing time will not be a problem. Lin Yi needs to gain on-the-spot experience the most. When the time comes, being able to play the game is the most important thing.

Moreover, the Porto team will appear on a bigger stage next season. The reality of two-line operations will give more people the opportunity to play. By then, Lin Yi, who has begun to enter the main candidate lineup, will have more There are many opportunities to participate in competitions.

Mendes is not afraid that Lin Yi will not have a chance to perform, because that kid is not afraid of any big scenes at all. He seems to be crazy. At this stage, for Lin Yi, it is better to sit on the bench in a wealthy club than to stay firmly in the Porto team. Seize the opportunity to play and accumulate experience.

The Champions League is undoubtedly a broader space for him. Mendes believes that this little guy may shine more dazzlingly on such a stage. Maybe it is best to leave by then. choose.

However, it was not only the stubborn Sir Alex who was eyeing Lin Yi. Even his old rival, the Frenchman who built the Arsenal at Highbury, also set his sights on Lin Yi. The Frenchman, who was known for his elegance and wisdom, did not want to miss a diamond.

He had even had substantial contact with the top management of Porto. Although this guy did not get the results he wanted from the top management of Porto, at least the Frenchman had expressed his desire for Lin Yi.

But the Frenchman's exploration still sounded the alarm for Porto. Just like the old guy once took Fabregas away from Spain, the top management of Porto felt a threat from the Frenchman's prying.

In addition to these two old guys, many clubs were also spying on the black-haired kid. The rumors about him could only increase day by day. This was the negative effect of the final.

Now this threat surrounding Lin Yi has begun to make Da Costa and others feel the crisis, but fortunately, Mendes has assured him that in the next season, Lin Yi will not seek a transfer and he will still stick to Porto.

But no one can predict the future, including Mendes himself, who doesn't know where Lin Yi's next stop will be.

Lin Yi, who is at the center of various rumors, is now being pursued by people at the club level. His status as a player who has never participated in any national team has also made him the target of pursuit by many national youth teams.

Before the Portuguese reacted, many young players in other countries had already set their sights on this rising star, and a battle for Lin Yi's future had quietly begun.

This busy summer, not only did Lin Yi have to spend more time on various activities and training grounds, but even those who tried to get involved with this kid were busy...
