There is a dream called football

The podium in the stadium has been set up. All the big guys from UEFA and FIFA are on stage. Porto players are lined up neatly. As the champions, they have to greet the runner-up. Monaco is the first to get on the podium.

Morientes was at the front.

"He will represent Spain in the European Cup, but where will his next stop be? Return to Real Madrid?" Huang Jianxiang said.

Bernardi.

Roten.

…

…

Monaco players filed past one after another. They "enjoyed" the welcome and tribute from their opponents, but they were not happy at all inside.

The distance between the runner-up and the champion is not the color of the medal, but the feeling of being so far away. Even the runner-up is the most bitter.

Only after the Monaco players are on the podium will they force a smile and be polite to the bosses of UEFA.

Finally, it was Deschamps who took the podium. As a player, he is a winner in life, winning championships big and small. However, as a head coach, he tasted a bitter taste when he led the team to the Champions League for the first time.

"Didier, congratulations."

"hehe."

Deschamps was not too happy after receiving the medal from Infantino, and then he shook hands with Blatter.

Blatter presented the award to the champion, but the one who presented the award to the runner-up was just the Secretary General of UEFA. This is the gap.

Blatter's French is very good, and he deliberately exchanged a few words with Deschamps in French.

"Be happy, you are already great. I still remember what it looked like when I handed you the Hercules Cup in 1998."

"That was 6 years ago."

"Time flies so fast."

The runner-up received all the applause at the scene, and even the Porto fans did not hesitate to applaud themselves. This is football, a war in peacetime, but the premise is peace.

It was the champion's turn, and the players surrounded Mourinho.

But Mourinho pushed the players forward one by one. He wanted his disciples to go ahead and experience this glorious moment first.

"You go first, I go last."

After all the players were pushed out, Mourinho also pushed Mores out, as well as the team doctor, physical coach, physical therapist, and logistics.

After everyone left, Mourinho arrived belatedly, but the fans gave him special respect.

When he appeared, the whole crowd chanted "Jose."

Although everyone already knew that Mourinho was leaving, the fans did not blame him, only expressed gratitude.

Many Porto tifos now temporarily write thank you after the game.

Thank you written in Portuguese and English.

Porto people shed tears. Tonight they won the coveted Champions League championship, but they lost their coach Jose.

Mourinho deliberately slowed down and dragged himself to the back. He had to walk slower because when he walked off the podium, he was no longer the coach of Porto.

Maniche is like a child and Blatter hangs the medal around his neck.

"Sir, can I hug you?"

"certainly."

Maniche reached behind Blatter with one hand and said, "Thank you, see you at the European Cup."

If Portugal finally wins the European Cup, Blatter should be the one to present the award, so Maniche wants to save some good luck in advance.

It's Baia's turn.

Blatter made fun of the red card.

"It's a pity."

"Haha, it was a pity originally, but fortunately my teammates helped me make up for the regret."

"Ha ha."

Deco.

The Brazilian smiled shyly. His English was very average and he only had a very simple exchange with Blatter.

Li Qiao.

Although Li Qiao knew what happened later, to be fair, Li Qiao had no personal prejudice against Blatter. After all, he was a very distant person.

Blatter's biggest advantage is that he has a really good mind. An 80-year-old man has no problem giving unscripted speeches and has a very good memory.

"You are Chinese, right?"

"Yes."

"This year's Asian Cup is in China. I will go there then."

"Hope to see you then."

Blatter awarded the Porto people awards one by one until the last one.

When Mourinho stepped onto the podium, the cheers reached its peak, and even Blatter was eclipsed by comparison.

"José is great."

"Haha, thank you."

Blatter spent a very long time chatting with Mourinho. After all, Mourinho can speak any language, and Blatter can chat with him in any language.

"What do you think they were talking about?" Maniche turned sideways and asked Li Qiao.

"Haha, I guess they are just pretending."

"Haha, it's possible. It would be great if a lip reader could interpret it."

Finally, the chat was over, and Mourinho walked towards his players. At this time, the UEFA president took the Big Ear Cup, and the Porto people couldn't wait.

Captain Jorge Costa stepped forward to greet him. After receiving the Champions League trophy, he raised it high and the new king was crowned.

Blue ribbons sprayed out from behind the podium, and the players were bathed in it, feeling extremely happy.

"Give it to me, give it to me."

Maniche couldn't wait to take the trophy from the captain's hand, and he put the trophy on his head.

Reporters followed Maniche to take pictures.

"Mom, dad, I am the Champions League champion."

The players took turns lifting the trophy. When it was Li Qiao's turn, he raised the trophy high. The Champions League trophy was a little heavier than expected, a little heavy on the hand, but also very heavy.

Li Qiao gave the trophy to Baia, who also raised the trophy high.

Finally, someone suggested that the whole team take a photo. At this time, many people felt nervous, because for many people, this must be the last time they wear Porto's jersey. Whether in the past life or now, Porto is not the kind that can retain big-name stars.

of wealthy families.

With a click, this photo would be circulated for a long time. The miracle of 2004, a young coach's successful counterattack, became famous all over the world.

An hour later, as the players returned to the dressing room, Maniche and Mourinho hugged each other and cried.

Just like Mourinho later after his success at Inter Milan, the release of the championship and the emotion of leaving.

Baia also went to embrace Mourinho. He is no longer a Portuguese international and will either retire this summer or go to Asia to play football.

Li Qiao stepped forward to hug Mourinho and expressed his gratitude.

"Jose, it was you who promoted me to the first team so that I could enjoy this miraculous season. Thank you."

"Haha, football doesn't require thanks. If you don't have the ability, even if you are my son, I won't be able to promote you."

"Hahaha."

Mourinho went to hug Carvalho who was really like his son.

This player who has been confirmed to leave with Mourinho also includes Ferreira and Valente.

After Mourinho, the black shop was still the same black shop, but the Champions League miracle never happened again.
