There is a dream called football

Sosa received a call from Lazio in Serie A.

Old fans all know that Serie A has seven sisters, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, Parma and Lazio.

These seven Italian teams were considered powerful teams across Europe. At that time, Serie A was known as the Little World Cup, and Serie A was also the most prosperous of the five major leagues.

So when Sosa received the call from Lazio, his first feeling was that he was flattered. That was a much bigger team than Porto.

After Sosa got some verbal counseling, he immediately called Li Qiao.

But when Li Qiao heard the offer from the Serie A team, he immediately shook his head and refused.

Sosa was confused.

"Why? Serie A is the crown of European football. If you can play there, you will be successful. And you said that China is the first to broadcast Serie A."

Yes.

That’s right!

But Li Qiao also knows that starting next year at the latest, the world-shaking phone scandal will begin.

Many Serie A clubs have even failed to recover.

In fact, to be honest, the glorious end of Italian football started with Calciopoli. Although Italy won the 2006 World Cup, it was more like the end of an era.

Since he has the benefits of being a traveler, Li Qiao will naturally not go into muddy waters. It would be tragic if Lazio is relegated this time.

In short, the muddy waters of the Italian league are too deep, and even the power of the prosecutor's office has to be used, so Li Qiao cannot be beaten to death.

Li Qiao said: "I think Italian football is already going downhill."

Sosa thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? AC Milan, Juventus, these are European hegemons.

"Li Qiao, do you not believe in my ability?"

"I trust you."

"Then let me go and talk. Lazio is quite sincere. They are willing to offer you a million-dollar annual salary."

It was not easy to earn an annual salary of one million in that era. You must know that the euro was still 10:1 against the RMB at that time.

It was difficult for Li Qiao to explain. This was also the trouble of being a prophet. He knew a lot of things but couldn't explain them.

"Joe, I am a real football agent. I have to prove myself. Just wait, I won't embarrass you."

Li Qiao could only vaguely agree, but he made a plan in his mind that he would have to negotiate the summer contract by himself, and then the rice would be cooked.

UEFA President, Swedish Lennart Johansson, FIFA President Sepp Blatter, and some big names in international football have all come to Gelsenkirchen. Of course, what fans are most concerned about is the arrival of the Big Ears Cup.

The most hyped event in the Porto media before the game was the 1987 Champions League final, which was held at the Prater Stadium in Vienna, Austria. Porto defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 and lifted the Champions League trophy for the first time in history.

So there is a replica of the Champions League trophy in Porto's showroom, and this time they hope to win the Big Ears Cup for the second time.

The Porto media talked a lot about Porto's advantages. First, the two Champions League finals are inextricably linked to Germany. The last time Porto won the cup, they defeated the German team, and this time the Champions League final happened to be held in Germany.

Second, Austria was also a part of Germany in history, and now Austria also speaks German, so Germany is Porto’s blessed land.

Of course, the Monaco people thought this was nonsense, and the French media countered: "The team that reaches the Champions League final for the first time in history generally has a better chance of winning the cup."

The war of words between the two sides inevitably reached the level of the team coach.

Deschamps said that he has participated in many finals, including the World Cup and the European Cup. As long as he participated in the finals, he won them all.

This actually hints at Mourinho's relatively bleak football history. In the coaching circle, both of them are newcomers, but if they compare their football careers, Deschamps is a rich and handsome coach, while Mourinho can only be a loser.

Mourinho is a head coach who started out as a translator. In terms of qualifications, there are too many people who are better than him. He can only laugh at himself about this.

"Everyone knows that in the football circle, I am the best translator."

Regarding the game, history, etc., Mourinho does not want to say much. There is no point in talking about it. Let's just watch the performance on the court.

Fans poured in, big guys gathered, and the war of words became increasingly fierce. All of this was preparation for the final battle.

And the war is about to break out.

"Baia."

"Jorge."

"..."

"Paul."

…

…

"Carlos."

When Mourinho thought of Carlos Alberto, many people were shocked because Alberto was not the main player in the previous games.

After all, this is the final, and Mourinho still wants to focus on stability, so he sent a formation of 4231. Maniche played as a defensive midfielder in this game, and Mourinho handed over the left winger to Alberto.

"Li Qiao."

"McCarthy."

Del Rey did not start, which the Brazilians felt was a bit regretful, but he was on the bench, so it was okay. However, Raven and others were not included in the squad, which meant that they had to watch the game in the stands.

This is very cruel and there is no way. As the head coach, Mourinho will not explain anything. This is football.

"Tomorrow's game is one round, we don't have a second chance, you must understand this."

The big guy nodded.

On the Monaco side, Deschamps already has his starting lineup in mind, which is exactly the same as in the semi-finals. There is nothing that needs to be changed.

However, he also emphasized the need to strengthen defense, especially interception in the midfield, because the final only has 90 minutes and cannot make mistakes.

Monaco's journey was similar to that of Porto, with many stumbling blocks. In the first round of the knockout round, they faced Lokomotiv Moscow. In the cold Russia, Monaco lost 1-2. They returned to home and won 1-0. In the end, they relied on

Advancement was achieved on the basis of away goals.

Deschamps said to the players: "We are a French team, and we all know Napoleon. I think the more difficult the road ahead is, it will be our wealth in the finals."

The big guy nodded.

"I think Monaco can put their name on the Champions League trophy."

"Head, you helped Marseille win the Champions League trophy ten years ago. Tell us about that feeling."

Deshang chuckled, "That feeling..."

He was originally ready to pour out his heart, because the feeling was so wonderful, as sweet as first love, but after Deschamps smiled, he said nothing.

"You have to experience that feeling for yourself, just like xxoo, I've said it a hundred times, but it's better for you to find a woman and practice it yourself."

"Ha ha."

Everyone is happy, but the words are rough and the truth is not rough. The taste of some things can only be tasted by yourself, and others cannot do it for you.
