There is a dream called football

Chapter 414: The Shadow Left by Mourinho

"Our style of football? I think this has never changed. We are Porto and our football is Portuguese football."

Porto has historically won the Champions League before Mourinho, but it is undeniable that Porto's most glorious moment was in 2004. After all, the current Champions League competition is comparable to the Champions League decades ago.

The difficulty and influence of the Champions League have increased by unknown levels, so it can be said that the Porto coach after Mourinho can only live in the shadow of fanaticism.

For example, Villas-Boas was later dubbed the second of Mourinho, but facts proved that he could not reach the height of Mourinho.

Ferreira also knows very well that when he leads the team to play in the Champions League, this kind of comparison is inevitable, and he has also thought of ways to deal with it.

"Will Jose go to watch the game?"

Ferreira smiled and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of Joses in the Iberian Peninsula. Adding those in South America, I think there are tens of millions of Joses in the world. I don't know which one you are talking about?"

"Haha, of course it's the Chelsea one."

"Then I don't know. I don't have his phone number at all, so how can I possibly know whether he will come to watch the game."

"Do you mind if someone compares you to Jose?"

"To be honest, of course, who would want to live in the shadow of others."

"But just like Brazilians will live in the shadow of Pele, and Argentines will live in the shadow of Maradona, I think it is an honor for Portuguese football to have such a good coach in Portugal.

So I have nothing to say."

"Tell us about your opponent."

"I respect Arsenal very much. Please believe me. It doesn't matter if a team can achieve good results, but Arsenal is a team that can play its own style. This is difficult. Many times, we just need to

When you watch the process of the goal happening, you don’t even need to look at the team name to know that it was Arsenal.”

"In addition, in modern football, it is not easy for a head coach to stay in a club for so long. I really hope that I can stay in Porto for ten years."

"Also, Porto's Champions League goal this season?"

Regarding this, Ferreira laughed and said, "Maybe the top eight is a more realistic goal."

“Champions League stars reunite?”

Faced with the reporter's proposal, Mourinho sneered, "I can only say that your proposal is stupid. Even if it is a reunion, it will be 20 years later. For example, in 2024, it is only 2 years ago. There is no chance of a reunion."

What’s the meaning?”

"But everyone is in London now."

Mourinho rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know how big London is? What's going on in your head?"

"And why should I have nothing to do when I'm in London? I thought I was you."

As expected, Mourinho did not get the news for this young reporter, and scolded him throughout the process. If such news is taken back, the reporter may really lose his job and go home.

Emirates Stadium.

Champions League debut.

The stadium with more than 67,000 people was full, and Arsenal fans wore team scarves and flags. Everyone was very enthusiastic. In London, although Arsenal’s fan base is not as wealthy as Chelsea’s, their financial capacity is second to Tottenham Hotspur’s.

So when it comes to support, Arsenal fans are not stingy.

Before going on the field, Li Qiao took a look at Porto in the player tunnel. The blue jersey was still so familiar, but he didn't recognize any of the people.

McCarthy.

Dreyer.

Deco.

Maniche.

Paul Ferreira.

Carvalho.

If hot.

Baia.

After everyone left, including himself, Li Qiao was still touched when thinking of this, and the response was the most beautiful.

At this moment, Peipei came over and patted Li Qiao, "Hey, I know you."

"You know me?"

"Yes, your photo is hanging on the wall in the club corridor. You will always be the pride of the club."

Li Qiao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Li Qiao had a good conversation with Pepe, and he was able to practice his Portuguese by the way. His Portuguese had deteriorated greatly, because at home, Lorinda always spoke Chinese to him, and he became her sparring partner.

In addition, Bosingwa also came to reminisce about old times. In fact, the relationship between Li Qiao and Bosingwa was just average back then, because at that time, Bosingwa was not the main player, and Porto's main right back was Paulo, so Li Qiao and Bosingwa had very little time to work together.

, naturally there is no friendship.

But in general, Li Qiao's unfamiliarity with Porto has been greatly improved, which is helpless.

After all, it will be up to everyone to take charge of the show later, and it would not be good for Li Qiao to have his heart touched too much.

"Wow wow wow, I can hardly wear this Porto jersey."

"Of course, it doesn't matter how much weight you have gained." Sosa smiled.

Lorinda immediately cast a cold look and said, "Nonsense, my figure has not changed. I just weighed myself last night."

"Haha, then you must have grown taller."

Lorinda rolled her eyes again, which was obviously teasing, because how could an adult grow taller?

"Don't make me angry. I haven't watched Porto play for a long time. I'm very excited."

This was influenced by Sosa. Lorinda doesn't like football very much, but going to a stadium in Europe to watch football is not just as simple as watching a game. Modern stadiums have food, entertainment, and shopping. It's no exaggeration.

It's almost like an airport.

So in Lorinda's childhood memory, every time she went to watch a game, she was always very happy. Although she couldn't understand it, it felt wonderful. It was a bit like the feeling we had during the Spring Festival, and it has been integrated into her memory.

"Dad, I still remember that every time you tricked me into going to a game, we ended up eating steak at the stadium."

"Haha, yes, although you were only so fat when you were a child."

"screw you."

"You said then that you would never associate with players in the future, but..."

"It's all your fault."

Women want to please their appearance, this principle is true everywhere. Lorinda worked so hard to learn Chinese and like football, but it was actually because of her boyfriend Li Qiao.

Sosa chuckled, "I understand. I've been there too. People will do anything willingly for the people they love."

At this moment, the exciting Champions League theme song sounded, and players from both sides appeared. Lorinda looked from a distance, and she suddenly stood up and shouted, "Come on, Li Qiao."

As soon as he shouted, everyone in front of him turned around and looked over.

sweat.

Lorinda sat silently.

"Daughter, you are cheering for the other side in the Porto fans' camp, this..."

"Stop talking."

The Champions League theme song has fallen and the game is about to begin. Porto is even more hungry for a victory because they failed to win CSKA Moscow at home in the last round.
