There is a dream called football

The first Champions League match against Porto is the first Champions League home game at the Emirates Stadium. The importance of this game is self-evident.

In the first league match against Villa, Arsenal messed up. The team was not in good shape at that time, but this time, the club has no excuse. It has been so long since the new season started, and it must be at full strength.

The current Porto and the Porto Li Qiao experienced can be said to be a different team.

But this is a normal thing for Porto, because Porto is a famous black shop in Europe. Basically, as long as their players are well-trained, they will be sold at high prices. This is also the survival wisdom of teams outside the five major leagues.

But this does not mean that Porto is not strong now. On the contrary, Porto at this time can be said to be very strong.

It's clear just by looking at their lineup.

The forwards are Portugal internationals Postiga and Quaresma.

The midfielder was Anderson, who later moved to Manchester United, a player who was regarded as a genius by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Also in the midfield is Argentina international Lucho Gonzalez.

Needless to say, Pepe is the famous defender, and Bosingwa is the only main force left from the Mourinho era.

Wenger would drool over such a Porto team. There are many players he wants. For example, Pepe on the defense line is the coach's favorite, but the asking price may be very high.

Throughout Wenger's life, he rarely bought people from black shops, because maybe it was his character and he did not have the talent for bargaining as a businessman. However, it has to be said that black shops like Porto can indeed cultivate the best players.

This point is very unique and has to be accepted.

With such a Porto team, under the leadership of coach Ferreira, it is understandable how difficult it is for Arsenal to completely defeat their opponents at the Emirates Stadium.

"Quickly pass the ball, don't be such a pussy."

Wenger rarely uses foul language. He will never use foul language like many coaches, but he will also use words to motivate his players.

"Robin, start running."

"And you." Wenger pointed at Toure, "I have already said that your home must be within 10 kilometers of the club, otherwise you will always be late."

There are many such situations, and Wenger is meticulous in his training.

But what he is most worried about is Henry, because since the start of the season, his injuries seem to be intermittent.

It is normal for players to have more injuries as they age, and they can no longer recover as quickly as before. However, Wenger has high expectations for Henry. He feels that Henry is different from others.

, this French boy’s ability is even stronger.

"Thierry, how are your calf muscles?"

"It's tight, I'm really old."

Henry is already 29 years old. For a player with good speed, old is not a polite word, but he is really a bit old.

"Haha, you are not old. If you were, then I would have to go to a nursing home."

"hehe."

"If it affects the game, then take a vacation and fully recover from the injury."

Henry shook his head, "I asked the team doctor's opinion. It's just normal muscle strain. It's like driving a car for a long time, so rest is of no use to me. And I'm already 29. My dream is to stop again."

Win the Champions League once."

Wenger smiled and patted Henry, "Don't think so much."

In fact, players are very aware of their own bodies. Think about Ronaldo. When he was young, he was all-powerful and was called a person who did not belong on this earth. Later in his career, even running was a problem.

"Boss, I know you attach great importance to your first win at the Emirates Stadium. Don't worry, we will win."

Regarding the Emirates Stadium, this can be said to be Wenger's biggest knot in his life. On the one hand, it is the biggest asset, and on the other hand, it is also the biggest burden. Isn't this very much like his own child, who is both an asset and a burden, so... …

Emirates Stadium and Arsenal are Wenger's lifelong children, which may be why his wife later divorced him.

*****

Wenger, Arsenal, Porto, when these key words come together, the media will naturally tease Mourinho. Don't be surprised, half of the news in the Premier League now relies on Mourinho's loud mouth.

"Jose, what do you think of the Arsenal-Porto match?"

"Why are you asking me this question?"

"It's natural. You were the head coach of Porto before. This club made it possible for you."

"I'm sorry, I have perfected myself. I don't need anyone else to perfect me. I am who I am, and after God, I am who I am."

…

…

Such awkward chat can really end the topic immediately. No wonder many people think Mourinho is the best topic terminator.

But Mourinho is Mourinho, and he will still give reporters a little sweetness.

"You want to hear my opinion, then okay, I will say that Porto is better than Arsenal, so there is nothing to say about the game. I am optimistic about Porto."

Is Porto better than Arsenal?

Ferreira didn't dare to say this. Porto's coach Ferreira said that Arsenal's strength is far superior to Porto.

Mourinho scoffed at this, "I think my old club should consider changing to a new head coach. As the head coach of Porto, the most important thing is domineering. I think Scolari is good."

"Then can you predict the score?"

"Let's say 3 to 0."

…

…

"Can you tell us your thoughts on Arsenal's performance in the league?"

Mourinho sneered, "Do I need to say more? I hope Arsenal can work harder and at least qualify for next season's Champions League qualifiers. I heard that Arsenal are short of money now, so I don't have any worries in this regard." , if I need to build a new stadium, then I can pay cash."

…

…

Mourinho has been so arrogant all his life, making people love and hate him, but this time Wenger did not remain silent.

Wenger rarely responded to reporters' questions.

"I think UEFA must make restrictions, such as learning from the American NBA. The team's budget must balance its expenditures, otherwise it is very unfair."

"For teams like Chelsea, they can disrupt the transfer market by relying on Russian money. This is obviously inappropriate and should be criticized."

"Also, when I won the Premier League championship, that person didn't know where to be a translator. I think respect is very important. Maybe I said a little more today, but I think it is disrespectful. A response from my people.”

The British media was overjoyed, which was great, but now they were going to start a quarrel. But what they didn't expect was that suddenly, Mourinho's side stopped, and the media didn't get what they wanted.
