Chapter 597 Preparations for the Champions League Final

Fan Shang also watched all the videos of Porto in this year's Champions League, and also watched the match against Portugal's traditional top two. Fan Shang discovered a conscious thing, which Fan Shang did not notice in later generations. Mourinho is the polar opposite.

From the current point of view, it is not known whether this thing is one of Mourinho's weaknesses, but if Mourinho does this in the final, Vincent will definitely be able to deal with it with ease.

In Vincent’s view, Porto’s overall strength must be far behind Bayern Munich’s. Mourinho is taking a pragmatic approach. While Vincent is studying Porto, it is estimated that Mourinho is also studying Bayern Munich and Vincent .

Fan Shang felt that there should be nothing to change in the starting lineups of the two teams. The lineup he was most used to might have changed in some positions, but the general direction was like this.

The question now is what Mourinho thinks, whether to go all out to attack Bayern Munich or use defensive counterattack tactics.

Fan Shang thinks it should be the latter. After all, although Mourinho is impulsive and reckless in front of the media, when it comes to the real game, he will always put victory first. If Vincent is placed in Mourinho's current position , Fan Shang will definitely adopt a defensive approach, after all, the strength gap between the two teams is still somewhat obvious.

Although Porto has made it all the way to the final this year, they all had some luck in their wins over Manchester United and Deportivo.

For example, in the second round against Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy kicked the ball back with his right foot under the pressure of two defenders on the left side of the penalty area in stoppage time. Giggs shot low with his right foot 2 meters in front of the goal. Scholes Plug in the right foot to stop the ball, and shot into the far corner with his right foot 10 meters in front of the goal, but was sentenced to offside first, but the slow motion showed that Scholes was not offside when Giggs shot.

For another example, in the 35th minute against Deportivo, Alberto shoveled Nebett from the edge of the penalty area for a foul, but the Brazilian managed to escape the second yellow card warning.Otherwise, they will fight with 10 people next.Before the end, Andrade's midfielder pulled Deco down and kicked the Portuguese lightly. The referee Merk directly showed him a red card and sent him off.

It doesn't matter if you say it's luck or shady, anyway, Porto has been going all the way, not how powerful it is, but at the right time, there are some wrong times, Porto seized the opportunity, this time there is This year's dark horse trip to the Champions League.

What Fan Shang has to do now is how to make Porto show its original appearance, instead of being its own paper tiger.

In order to find out why Porto was able to take advantage of the referee, Fan Shang also went to Platini on purpose, and the final conclusion made Fan Shang dumbfounded. This is really not some secret move by Porto, but a true The referee made a misjudgment.

Especially in the game against Deportivo, UEFA issued a series of warnings to the referee named Merck after the end.

Here again, this Merck is a German referee, Vincent suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, could it be that he wanted Bayern Munich to face a relatively weak opponent in the final?

This is just a joke, Merck is also a golden whistle in Germany anyway, and he is actually a fan of Kaiserslautern, so he has nothing to do with helping Bayern Munich.It is said that the game was purely a mistake, and the post-match report had already written its own mistakes, so UEFA did not announce the punishment of Merck to the outside world, but only issued an internal warning.

To sum up, that means one thing. The wheel of history still has a certain inertia. This year, God favors Porto and Mourinho. What can you do?
But Fan Shang wants to tell the world in the finals that God’s favor is useless, because Fan Shang is the most favored person in the world, although he can’t tell outsiders, but if he wants to compete with Fan Shang, then everyone has to step aside station, including Mourinho.

Of course, winning the game does not depend on God's will. Vincent probably already understood what Mourinho will do in the final. Now Vincent just wants to let Bayern Munich maintain the fighting power it should have.

In the previous two weeks, Mourinho often clamored in the media, and Vincent responded but did not respond. However, in the last week, this Mourinho seemed to have disappeared and never appeared in the media again.

Mourinho also understands the seriousness of the matter. Just because he jumps around in the media like a clown, it will not have any effect on Bayern Munich. It is better to tidy up the team by himself. In the final game, Bayern Munich came by a surprise.

Both sides are now tensely preparing for the battle. In order to cope with this tense atmosphere, Fan Shang implemented a closed training for the last three days, only open for 15 minutes for reporters to take pictures, and then played his own game to drive away outsiders.

In terms of strength, Bayern Munich has the advantage in this final. In terms of the final venue, it is also Bayern Munich, because this year's final venue is Germany, and the home of Schalke 04 club, Auf Schalke Stadium .

For Bayern Munich, there is no need to get used to this stadium, but Vincent came to Gelsenkirchen two days in advance. After all, it is the final of the Champions League. Even if it is his own home court, he can't procrastinate, not to mention that it is only in Germany. stadium.

It is conceivable that Porto attaches great importance to this game. Mourinho brought his team to Germany 4 days ago, not only to adapt to the venue, but also to adapt to the German climate.

But this summer, in fact, is similar to any city in Europe. It depends on whether the weather is good or not, and whether it will rain on the day of the competition.

It's okay, judging from the weather forecast, it should be sunny on the day of the competition, and it's not even close to rain.

In the media interviews before the game, Mourinho still had an air of arrogance, and his words were straightforward, "I have found the weaknesses of Bayern Munich and Vincent, and this final is under my control."

When Fan Shang heard Mourinho's remarks, he immediately opened his mouth, "Really? Then we have to be careful, hahaha" Fan Shang couldn't help laughing, Mourinho This kind of big mouth has really been around for a long time, and even on this occasion, they still say such naive words, Bayern Munich's weakness, Vincent's weakness?There are some words that Mourinho can't point out.
