There is a dream called football

Milan.

When mentioning this city, the images in many people's minds will immediately go back to the Italian summer of 1990. At the opening ceremony of the World Cup that year, more than a hundred Italian models with graceful figures used San Siro as a catwalk, leaving a lasting impression on the world.

A deep impression.

And so are the two main features of this city: football and the fashion industry.

Of course, the fashion industry does not need to be mentioned. It is a characteristic of Milan and even Italy. There is no need to mention football. AC Milan and Inter Milan are the representatives of this city.

Red, black and blue are the colors of Milan football and the totem of football in this city.

When Mourinho led the team to Milan, many reporters were waiting at the airport, because Bolt was already an out-and-out dark horse at this time, and no one would deny their strength.

"Jose, Jose!"

Mourinho waved his hand, then pushed assistant coach Morais to the big guy, and left alone.

There are many overseas Chinese in Italy, and Li Qiao saw a little Chinese girl calling him.

"Li Qiao."

"Hello, how old are you?"

"Three years old."

The little girl's hands were empty, and she probably didn't want an autograph. Li Qiao had nothing to give her.

"If you can leave me your address, can I promise to give you a jersey?"

"Very good."

The mother of the girl on the side left an address for Li Qiao, who accepted it.

"Waiting for my gift."

*****

"Gazzetta dello Sport" is one of the largest sports media in Europe. It is often ahead of many peers in reporting transfer news, and the news is very accurate. It is a relatively serious media.

Their reporter Anthony found the hotel where Porto was staying.

Mourinho still threw Mores out.

"Jose, isn't this bad? The other party is Gazzetta dello Sport."

“Is La Gazzetta dello Sport amazing?”

Mourinho is just talking. He certainly knows the influence of Gazzetta dello Sport in the football circle.

Mourinho snapped his fingers and said, "Just give them a little sweetness."

"for example?"

"Bring McCarthy, Li Qiao, and Deco with you and let them ask questions as they please."

Morais chuckled.

"Why don't you meet the reporters?"

"It's nothing, I just don't want to see you."

*****

In a private living room in the back courtyard of the hotel, Mores met Anthony. He had told the players beforehand that there was no need to worry. The other party was a serious media and should not write random things. It was OK to say whatever they wanted.

Anthony was wearing a suit and leather shoes, just like an office worker. He looked very formal, which also made the other party have a good impression.

"It's an honor to interview you."

"It is also an honor for us to be interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport. Jose is not feeling well, so I will do it this time."

"Say hello to Jose for me."

Back to business.

"What is the secret to success in Porto or Portuguese football? Of course youth training, but beyond that?"

Mores smiled slightly, "In Europe, Portugal is a small country with a population of more than 10 million. This is incomparable to Italy. You are five or six times larger than us. This also means that we cannot have a league as good as Serie A.

"

"Our strategy is to train through youth training and then sell to the five major leagues. This is our way of survival."

"But there is a difficulty here, and that is the success rate of youth training. You know, Italy's biggest worry in recent years is to find the next Baggio and the next Del Piero, but this is difficult."

Mores smiled and said: "I can't explain this in one or two sentences, but I am very grateful to the seniors of Portuguese football for their contributions. Their efforts have made Portuguese football good from generation to generation."

Change the topic.

"You defeated Manchester United in the last game. I watched the game. It was very thrilling and exciting. In fact, the real key in the end was the away goal."

"Haha, yes, we are lucky."

"Then how do you compare Manchester United and AC Milan?"

"Now it seems that AC Milan is certainly a stronger opponent. They are the defending champions and they have an enviable lineup."

Anthony began to gesture with his hands, like an octopus, "Then do you have any way to trap AC Milan?"

"Ha ha."

Morais chuckled, "Of course, but I can't tell you this for free."

"Ha ha."

Anthony interviewed Deco and talked about the Brazilian boy's journey along the way, and then came McCarthy, who can be considered an inspirational brother. South Africa is not a football powerhouse, so there are not many people who can play in the Champions League.

Finally, there is Li Qiao, who is also a newcomer that Anthony is very interested in.

"I think you're Porto's next source of cash."

"Haha, why do you have to sell me?"

"Anyway, that's how I see it, you will leave and leave Porto a large amount of cash."

"Okay, I'll take it as you complimenting me."

The interview went very pleasantly. Except for the regret of not meeting Mourinho, Anthony basically got what he wanted.

*****

But soon, a piece of news shocked many people, especially the Portuguese, but it was not published by Gazzetta dello Sport, but by the British Sun newspaper.

The content of the news is that Chelsea has finalized Mourinho and will join him after this season.

The Sun is a famous British tabloid, famous for its lack of integrity, but it must be said that this newspaper also has a lot of forward-looking reports, otherwise it would be impossible to survive by relying on nonsense.

Pinto immediately called Mourinho and said, "Jose, please tell me, this guy is talking nonsense."

"Of course, that's the Sun."

But considering that Mourinho has been unwilling to renew his contract with the team, Pinto is actually worried.

"No matter what, we are playing Milan away from home, so don't let this matter affect the team."

"Don't worry, boss."

Pinto really wanted to mention the contract, but now was really not the time, so he kept silent.

Mourinho quickly held a team meeting and said that the "Sun" report was false and that he would stay in Porto.

"I said I would take you to win the Champions League, and I did what I said. Before that, I couldn't leave Porto or leave this city."

Most of the players didn't believe it either. It was probably a smokescreen to attract attention. After all, The Sun had too many misdeeds. Only one person knew that it was the Sun that had been wronged this time.

Of course Li Qiao wouldn't say anything.

"Where is my future?"

If history hasn't changed much, then I might leave Porto in the summer. The most important thing now is to earn enough capital here, so that no matter where I go, people will want me.
