The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 335 You are just a translator!
"In my eyes, you are just a translator!"

When Villarinho's words sounded like thunder in Mourinho's ears, the Portuguese lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, panted heavily, clenched his fists, Even with the air conditioner on, he was still sweating profusely.

Strange room, strange bed, strange quilt, because he is in London now.

Sitting up from the bed, Mourinho stretched out his right hand to support his forehead, his brows were furrowed like a mountain, he felt a little headache, not only because he just had a very bad dream, but also because he Didn't fall asleep until late at night.

A little parched, Mourinho pulled off the sheets, got out of bed in his pajamas, and went to the reception area of ​​the room to pour a glass of water.

He held the water in his hand, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he walked slowly to the window of the room and opened the curtain with a swish.

Unlike Portugal, London has always had that kind of gloomy weather, especially in the early morning. The windows are still covered with mist. I don’t know if it rained last night or the remaining dew. up.

The buildings in London are generally not high. The hotel where Porto stayed was only on the fourth floor. They live on the third floor, so the view is not wide, but it is a bit depressing, because no one wants to be blocked by something, so Mourinho More is to look at the road below, it is a bit empty, there are not many cars, only the sanitation workers who get up early are working.

"What an ordinary morning!" Mourinho sighed, and then poured the water in his mouth.

Gulu Gulu, he drank a large glass of water in one gulp, but held the empty glass in his hand.

Many people say that after a person wakes up, he will often forget what dream he had last night, but Mourinho will not, not because he is a freak, but because the person he dreamed of, He will never forget it in his life.

Villariño, the president of Benfica!

When he left Barcelona that year, he secretly swore in his heart that from that day on, he would no longer be an assistant to anyone, he would coach alone, and he would rely on his own ability to win everything, including championships and honors .

Benfica is his first stop in coaching, but before Mourinho, many people have rumored that the head coach that Benfica most hopes to introduce is the Portuguese coach Toni.

There are two Tonys in Portugal, both named Antonio Oliveira. One is the head coach of the national team who led Portugal to participate in the 2002 World Cup. Because he wears glasses and leans on crutches, he is nicknamed the Tony with glasses. Benfica is interested in this The second is that he played for Benfica as a player and later served as the head coach of Benfica. Because he always has a beard, he was nicknamed Tony the Beard.

But at that time, the chairman of Benfica, Azevedo, chose Mourinho and entrusted him with important tasks, so even if Mourinho did not perform well at the beginning, Azevedo still had full trust and support for him, and Mu Rinho also quickly led Benfica out of the downturn, winning consecutive victories, but at this time, the club's chairman was elected, and Azevedo, who supported Mourinho, stepped down.

The new chairman Villarinho publicly criticized Mourinho before he came to power. He kept saying during the campaign that Mourinho was just an interpreter in his eyes and was not qualified to lead Benfica. Even though Benfica's performance improved later, after Villarinho came to power, he still made it very clear that Tony was his only choice, not Mourinho!
This was a choice doomed to tragedy from the very beginning. Mourinho finally left Benfica disheartened. The first coaching left him with only humiliation and shadow. It was this time that he really understood that What I once thought was a glamorous resume, in the eyes of others, is just a translation.

He had thought countless times that if Azevedo had not stepped down, he would have a very fantastic process and ending in Benfica. He could rise to the top and get everything he wanted, but the reality is so cruel. Will give him the slightest what-if and what-if.

After leaving Benfica, Mourinho was unemployed, he was miserable because he had a wife and a child to take care of, but he was unemployed, and no one even wanted to ask him to coach again, because Benfica and Villariño He was smeared everywhere in the media, and even framed that he left the job angrily because he failed to ask for three or four times his salary.

That period of time was the most painful period in his life, and he couldn't imagine how he survived it at all.

But sometimes people are like this, when you are cornered, in order to get rid of the devil controlling you, you often choose to fall into the arms of another devil, because you have no choice.

Mourinho finally chose to walk into the Dragon Stadium and found Da Costa, and the latter's media capital company owns the shares of the Leiria Club, so Mourinho came to Leiria logically, and then came to Arrived in Porto.

A year ago in the summer, Mourinho told Jorge Mendes that something would happen to Da Costa sooner or later, and they all wanted to get rid of Da Costa. At that time, they all naively thought that with Mourinho led Porto to the Champions League final. After he became famous, he will get the chance to leave Portugal and prove himself on a higher and broader stage.

But in the end he miscalculated, maybe because he lost too badly in the final, or maybe his football was too poor compared to Ye Qiu's Chelsea, and in the words of the media, he couldn't get on the stage, so there was no People invited him, especially after the crushing defeat to Chelsea in the group stage, he was under more pressure.

"You say my football is not as good as Ye Qiu's. That's because I lost, that's why you say that. If Greece wins, you worship them as a hero. If I lose, you will step on me. Hell, but I will fight back against all of you with facts, and the best fight back is to beat Ye Qiu's Chelsea with my football!"

He has never doubted his football, so since the knockout round, he has taken his football to the extreme. As a result, the two giants Inter Milan and AC Milan have all fallen at the feet of Mourinho People criticized him for playing too rough and too conservative, but he didn't mind at all, because he won!
He never paid attention to the accusations of those reporters and the media, because they always looked at the problem with a relaxed attitude of a bystander, but who among them really understood themselves?How did they ever think about the tremendous pressure and the sadness and self-blame they would bear after losing the game and losing their future?

In Mourinho's view, only by winning and winning continuously can he get out of Portugal, he can get rid of the nightmare, and he can have the opportunity to stand on the highest football stage in Europe, prove his strength, and then independently Take control of your own destiny!
Therefore, for him, tonight's battle is not only the semi-finals, not only the Champions League, not only the prize money and income of tens of millions of euros, but also related to his future. He will do whatever it takes to win!
Perhaps, this is his fate!
When thinking of this moment, from the reflection of the glass window in the hotel room, what Mourinho saw was a gritted teeth, angry inexplicably, his eyes seemed to spurt raging anger!

"To play against Chelsea, we have an extremely powerful comrade-in-arms, and that is physical fitness!"

As the day passed and night fell, in the dressing room of the visiting team at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho faced this group of Porto players who had just returned from warming up on the court, analyzing and arranging the tactics of this game.

"Remember those reports I showed you before? Those reporters and the media don't even know the farts. They think they know football very well, but in fact, they don't even understand the farts. They think Ye Qiu adopts the rotation system. Chelsea The physical fitness can be adjusted very well, but we have all seen that Chelsea have been fighting on multiple fronts for a while, and their injuries and physical fitness have almost been exhausted. Now is their weakest time!"

Mourinho pointed viciously at his feet. When he spoke, the expression on his face was full of confidence and determination.

"Think about it, for so many years in the Premier League, the performance of the Champions League has not been good. Why? For so many years in the Premier League, whether it was the invincible Red Devils dynasty, or the sudden emergence of Arsenal, or even last year's Chelsea, why? It is difficult for them to be successful in league, cup and European competition at the same time?"

"Why is Manchester United in 99 called a miracle? Because they narrowly won and reversed at the last minute, whether it was the league, the cup or the Champions League, especially the Champions League. These cannot be copied, so they are called miracles!"

Mourinho walked to the middle of the players and took a deep breath, "Because the Premier League is too dense, the competition is too fierce, and they don't have a winter break, this is the most terrible thing!"

There is no winter break, which is already known to all European teams. An important factor that is unfavorable for the Premier League teams in the European war, because there is no physical adjustment and re-reserve during the winter break, almost all teams in the Premier League in the second half of the game It is dragging a half-disabled body to barely maintain, and in this case, injuries and status often decline.

Especially for a multi-line team like Chelsea, they have played in the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League this season. Gathering, this makes Chelsea accumulate over time, the players' bodies are approaching the critical point, it is difficult to maintain the state above the level.

But more importantly, Da Costa secretly told Mourinho a message before the game, a message that was enough for him to win the game!

"Why should I tell you this?" Mourinho swept across this group of wolf-like Porto players in a deep voice. They lost the Champions League final last season and lost to Chelsea in the group stage this season. All of them are unhappy and want revenge.

And for a long time in the past, Mourinho has been instilling his will and anger into this team. This is why Porto was able to beat Inter Milan and beat AC Milan until today.

"The purpose of telling you this is to let you see clearly that our opponents are not as strong as we imagined. On the contrary, they are very fragile. As long as we are on the court, like we used to play against Inter Milan and AC Milan. That way, go and beat them, then we can take away a satisfactory result at Stamford Bridge!"

"Just leave Stamford Bridge, come back to our place, and we can beat the opponent!"

"So..." Mourinho patted their shoulders heavily every time he passed by a player, "I need you to go all out on the court, and I need you to show your strength on the court. Fighting spirit, show your fighting spirit, trample Chelsea, and those bastards who are pressing on top of us, under my feet, and wantonly trample on them!"

Ye Qiu started cautiously. Porto's style of playing against Inter Milan and AC Milan was rough and aggressive, while Chelsea's current players are relatively fragile. Qiu must deal with it carefully.

Otherwise, with Chelsea's ability, Ye Qiu doesn't have to worry about whether he can beat Porto, this is not a problem!
It's not that Ye Qiu and the coaching staff made mistakes, but it was inevitable. There is no winter break in the Premier League. From the beginning to the end of the season, all problems have accumulated over time, and they are constantly postponed. At this critical moment of the sprint , It is often also a sensitive moment when problems are concentrated and erupted, and no one can stop it.

Porto played away in this game, and the starting lineup also tended to be conservative. Jorge Costa and Carvalho partnered as central defenders. Pepe was pushed forward by Mourinho to the midfield, with Mendes and Costini. Asia formed three midfielders, Thiago and Maniche formed two wings, and McCarthy played a single striker.

The defense is Valente, Carvalho, Jorge Costa and Paulo Ferreira, and the goalkeeper is Baia.

Porto's starting lineup did not surprise Ye Qiu, but this team showed their fangs without any concealment after the start, which surprised Ye Qiu, because they launched a round of crazy competition from the very beginning. Pressing and oppressing, and the movements are very big, but the terrible thing is that the French referee Sarr's whistle is relatively soft.

In less than 20 seconds of the opening, when Maniche was defending Ronaldinho, he made a relatively large shoveling action, directly shoveling the Brazilian to the ground, and then the Portuguese quickly stood up and held high Hands, to show that he is innocent.

"Fuck you!" Ye Qiu saw clearly from the sidelines that the incident happened right under his nose, and couldn't help but blurt out a curse, but Maniche turned his head and sneered at him Take a look and run back to the field.

The team doctor quickly rushed into the field and lifted the fallen Ronaldinho to the sidelines, while the French referee Sarr gave Maniche a warning, but did not play a card, which immediately provoked the crowd in the stands Chelsea fans roared and cursed.

"Hey, isn't this kind of action not enough for you to draw cards?" Ye Qiu felt that he should put pressure on the referee as soon as possible, "Look at my players, they are all dismissed, are you just giving a verbal warning? Or Say, you want to see my players never play again?"

The referee Sal came over and moved his hands towards Ye Qiu calmly, "Mr. Ye Qiu, I know how to control a game very well, please don't try to put pressure on me with words, otherwise, I will consider it." To warn you about your words and deeds, I believe you don't want this to happen, do you?"

If the referee usually wants to avoid the game from being unbalanced too early, out of the balance of the game situation, if he feels owed to a certain side, he will turn a blind eye to the head coach's complaints, after all, he feels ashamed.

But now Thrall is obviously taking a tit-for-tat approach, obviously wanting to confront Ye Qiu, and he has helped Porto intentionally or unintentionally in the subsequent calls. For example, as long as Chelsea improves slightly, he will always blow The foul whistle was sounded, without any consideration of the principle of offensive advantage.

"There's something wrong with the situation!" Ten Kat frowned on the side.

Ye Qiu's heart was on fire, he didn't answer, and he didn't give any expression. He just looked at Thrall who walked back to the field, and after the game restarted, he said lightly, "In some people's eyes, the Champions League is absolutely perfect. Cannot be defended!"

Ten Carter and the others were taken aback for a moment, but after hearing this, they immediately figured it out again.

Over the years, F1 has been using various means to weaken Ferrari's strength, because Ferrari's dominance has caused the loss of F1's commercial value. Because of the lack of suspense, everyone knows that Ferrari can win, and there is no suspense. No one will pay attention.

The influence of the UEFA Champions League has increased over the years. A very important factor is that there is no defending. Even the most powerful teams cannot successfully defend the Champions League. This makes this event full of suspense. If there is suspense, there will be attention.

"Porto played very fiercely in this game. Be careful when you go up and protect yourself!"

After Ronaldinho hastily treated the wound, he came to Ye Qiu's side, and Ye Qiu explained carefully.

After Ronaldinho played, Ye Qiu still felt uneasy, and asked Roland to carefully tell the players on the field to protect themselves carefully. In the past two knockout rounds, when Inter Milan and AC Milan played Porto , Not many people were injured, which is why Mourinho's team is called the most brutal team.

Of course, from another point of view, Porto's strength is not as good as a strong team like Chelsea. If they don't adopt some more aggressive and physical confrontational style of play, then they will have no chance to play against Chelsea.

It's one thing to be comprehensible, but quite another when it happens to you.

Ye Qiu kept shouting from the sidelines since the start of the game, because he found that the game had been at a standstill, and the Porto players were always resorting to fouls to prevent Chelsea from continuing the game, and some of the fouls were actually He has already reached the standard for winning a card, but Thrall, who has always been soft on the whistle, was obviously softer in this game.

But Chelsea is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although Ye Qiu's team does not advocate fouls, their style of play is not soft, and they often fight tough battles. Therefore, even though Porto played fiercely, Chelsea still quickly created a chance. .

Deco received a kick back from Rooney on the right in a forward drive. After throwing off the defender, he passed the ball accurately to the left side of Porto's penalty area. Ronaldinho turned his back to Paulo. ? After Ferreira got the ball, he quickly cut from the left to the left corner of the penalty area. He got a chance and swung his right foot directly to hit the goal.

This position is the most certain position for Ronaldinho. He has played several arc shots here, so when he kicked the ball, everyone in the Stamford Bridge seemed to see the dawn of the goal. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the surprise to come.
