Chapter 334 Porto Team
After the short celebration, the next is the award ceremony of the League Cup.

The applause and cheers at Wembley Stadium have never stopped.

First of all, Benitez led the Liverpool players from the player tunnel to the stands of the stadium. They needed to shake hands with the guests of the Carabao Cup awards and some football celebrities who came to watch the game.

After that, under the leadership of Benitez, the players walked back from the stands to the locker room.

Next, it was the championship moment. Ferguson took the lead and led the Manchester United players to the stands, shaking hands with football celebrities and award presenters one by one. The only difference from the Liverpool team is that the players will get a piece of the championship. The medals were hung by the presenters around their necks.

Then, the players of the Manchester United team got together, and Jack Charlton, a famous football player from England, presented the championship trophy to the players of the Manchester United team.

Jack Charlton once represented England in the 1966 home World Cup.

Ronaldo smiled happily. He called Park Yisheng over, and the two of them lifted the English League Cup championship trophy together.

boom!one sound.

Fireworks bombs sounded, and ribbons were flying in the air.

The players of the Manchester United team raised their hands and cheered, and everyone's face was filled with youthful joy.

At this moment, there was warm applause and cheers on the court, and friends from the media were busy taking pictures to record this unforgettable moment.

Then, the Manchester United players began to take turns lifting the trophy, and every time a player lifted the trophy, there would be a cheer from the fans.

After the celebration, the Manchester United team all ended amid the cheers of the fans, and Ferguson walked at the end holding the English League Cup trophy.

At this time, he was extremely calm, because in his mind, the content of the English League Cup championship was too low, and his ambition was too high. What he wanted was the FA Cup, the Premier League, and the Champions League.

Everyone has a dream. Ferguson's dream is to have four championships. I have to say that it is very difficult to realize such a dream. One Carabao Cup champion tossed Manchester United into a bad shape. The game is scary just thinking about it.

The English League Cup champion has been won, and the game on this front has finally come to an end. From now on, Manchester United will no longer have to face the situation of four games in a week.

Originally, the English League Cup held by the English Football League would decide the champion at the end of February every year. For some reason, this year's English League Cup was delayed for more than two months, and the final was postponed until April, so that Manchester United The team has four games a week.

After the Carabao Cup final, Ferguson arranged for the Manchester United team to rest for a day. In the Carabao Cup game, the players of the Manchester United team were exhausted. Adjustments were made for Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Yisheng, and Vidic were all pushed to the position of rest.

The main reason why Ferguson is like this is that the league opponent Stoke City is a team in the relegation zone with average strength.

In the end, without the three main players of Ronaldo, Park Ilseng and Vidic, Manchester United easily won the opponent 3:0.

Two days later, on Sunday, Manchester United will take on Porto at Old Trafford.

The Porto team is a team from the Portuguese Super League, which can be regarded as a giant team in the Portuguese Super League. Park, who was once in Sporting Lisbon, almost went to Porto all his life.

The five major European leagues are Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue [-], and Bundesliga.

The Portuguese Super League does not belong to the five major European leagues and is easily overlooked by people. However, the Portuguese Super League team is a regular visitor to the UEFA Champions League. Porto has won the Champions League twice.

The Champions League in 04 was called a dark horse miracle. The Porto team coached by Mourinho went all the way and won the Champions League. Mourinho also became famous in that year. It can be said that he became famous in the first battle. .

Therefore, there is a lot of pressure on Ferguson's shoulders. In recent years, Ferguson has not played many matches with Portuguese Super League teams. It can be said that he doesn't know Porto very well. He never believed what the assistant coaches of Manchester United gave him. Some theoretical data.

Therefore, Ferguson's main task for these two days is to study the playing style of the Porto team. The Porto team is a team without big-name stars, and most of them are blue-collar players.

However, this year, they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so they must have their own unique style of play.

Ferguson watched the Porto team's entire Champions League game over and over again, trying to find a way to win.

He found that the playing style of the Porto team is similar to that of Manchester United, except that the offensive points are scattered and there is no fixed main scoring point. The team wins the game and basically leads the opponent by a large score, and the team presents a multi-point blooming situation. .

In this way, Ferguson can't do some targeted tactics and can only work hard on training.

It can be said that the Porto team is a strong team in the Champions League and can perform well in every Champions League match. There is more than one European giant team defeated by the Porto team.

Stronger than Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, AC Milan, Bayern, Liverpool, Chelsea, Juventus...

Every team has suffered from it. Many people describe the Porto team as a dark horse in the Champions League, but it is not.

The Porto team is an out-and-out strong team, but it does not belong to the five major European leagues, and its attention is not high compared to some wealthy teams.

Therefore, when Porto beat the European giants in the Champions League, people will feel incredible.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Porto team has such strength. It does not rely on stars to play, but their teamwork makes many opponents unable to stand up.

During Ferguson's coaching of Manchester United, there was only one confrontation with Porto, and that was the Champions League in the 03-04 season. At that time, Manchester United defeated their opponents with a score of 3:2 in two rounds.

That was also the first confrontation between Mourinho and Ferguson. As a result, the old-fashioned Ferguson had the last laugh. At that time, Ferguson felt that the Porto team was an incredible team, which almost pulled down the Manchester United team at its peak.

As a result, a year later, Ferguson's feelings were confirmed, and the Porto team won the 04 Champions League.

After five years, Ferguson does not know what kind of team the current Porto team is, but what is certain is that the strength of the Porto team cannot be underestimated.

Because how can a team that can reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League be a weak team.
