Legendary Road

In fact, Beckenbauer did not have any affection for the Russian Abramovich.

As we all know, the Bundesliga has high requirements for the financial health of clubs, and the transfer fees of Bundesliga stars are usually reasonable.

Except for Dortmund, which has bought stars a lot in the past few years, there are very few incidents of inflated players' worth and sky-high transfers.

But since Abramovich took over Chelsea, the European transfer market has been in chaos.Not only has the value of players increased, but the team's salary structure has also been completely broken, which has suddenly tightened the nerves of various Bundesliga clubs that have always advocated financially healthy operations.

Who the hell knows if that poor Russian guy will pay a high salary to seduce his own star.

Once the stars of the Bundesliga are lost, the attractiveness will naturally decrease, and the value of the Bundesliga brand will naturally decrease.

Besides, I am afraid that Abramovich's investment in Chelsea is not simply because he wants to play football.Those gossips that said he was laundering money, who can guarantee that it is absolutely not true?After all, even Bill Gates, I am afraid that he will not make a move of several hundred million pounds.

"This news is likely to be true." Beckenbauer laughed, "But in fact, whether it is Mourinho or Deschamps, if they really plan to coach Chelsea, what they have to face is much more complicated than the current team. Already—a group of big-name players in the locker room, and an owner who is extremely picky about grades."

"Haha, that's right." The narrator laughed twice, and brought the topic from the coaches of the two teams to tonight's game, "In a few hours, we will witness it at the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkieoff, Germany. A new champion of the Champions League is born. Is it Porto winning the trophy for the second time after 17 years? Or is Monaco reaching the top of Europe for the first time in history? Franz, who do you think is more likely to win? ?”

Beckenbauer can answer this kind of question with ease: "I watched the pre-match press conference last night. Didier Deschamps thought that the final was rarely exciting because it was too important and no one would be willing to take risks. And Mu Rinho, on the contrary, thought they would definitely make the game interesting because the final itself was beyond everyone's expectations - no one expected two teams like this to come here."

"Mourinho said he wanted to let the world know that an unpopular team can play beautifully." Beckenbauer talked about this, "If only from this aspect, of course I support Mourinho more. , because what we all want to see is an offensive game rather than a dull defense."

"But from a technical point of view, I think the chances of the two teams winning are [-]-[-]."

The director timely cut into some highlights of Porto and Monaco in the UEFA Champions League this season. The most pictures are Porto's Deco and Monaco's Morientes.

"Porto's defense is tight, the style of play is fierce, and they are very good at restricting the opponent's performance. Their midfielder Deco's performance this season is commendable. Midfielders such as Alenichev and Maniche are well-known giants. A solid defense is always reassuring. It is a pity that Porto does not have a real world-class striker in the team, and the lack of offensive firepower may be a factor that hinders them from winning the championship."

"In contrast, Monaco's killer feature is the striker. The outbreak of Morientes this season has completely lost the suspense in the competition for the Champions League scorer list. Giuly and Roundup's offensive capabilities are also good. Perhaps Deschamps is now facing a challenge. The trouble of happiness-is it right to put Giuly or Roundup on the central axis of the offense to cooperate with Morientes?"

"In the midfield, Roten's left flank is the core of Monaco's attack. His penetration, passing and crossing often create a deadly threat to the opponent, and his cooperation with the left back Evra is impeccable. But what is worrying is Monaco's defense, the six main players including the goalkeeper Roma have only been selected for the national team six times, and their lack of experience in major competitions will be a fatal weakness."

"This is the first time the two teams have met in the Champions League, and it is such an important final. I think they should adopt more cautious tactics."

Because it is a family ticket, Yan Jing’s position is very good. They are in the third row on the side of the Porto coach’s bench near the player channel. If the scene can be quieter, they can even hear the communication on the Porto coach’s bench—although He doesn't understand Portuguese.

The referee of the game, the Danish Nelson, entered the field holding the ball, and the players of the two teams also led their ball boys onto the battlefield from the player channel.

The Portuguese media complained immediately after learning of the referee candidate, saying that this is not a good sign.

Nelson has officiated 4 European matches in which Porto participated. As a result, Porto only achieved 2 draws and 2 losses.

"Yan, where did you get the tickets? This location is so cool!" Forgive Nick for not having seen the world much, he was amazed that Yan Jing was able to buy such a good location ticket, "It cost a lot of money, right?"

"It didn't cost me a cent, it was given to me by someone else."

Yan Jing's tone was calm, and at this time Porto's coaching staff also came out of the player tunnel.

Boas also saw Yan Jing in the stands, but obviously the tension of the imminent battle made him not in the mood to greet Yan Jing, but hurriedly followed Mourinho and sat on the bench.

Gotze, who has been silent since the platform until now, is still entangled in Yan Jing's sexual orientation. He watched the players on both sides shake hands with each other one by one, and shook his head trying not to think about it. Son.

All the procedures before the start of the game are over, and the players from both sides stand in their positions and wait for the referee's whistle.

“随着裁判吹响了比赛开始的哨音，2003至2004赛季的欧冠决赛开始了——”天空体育台的解说员道，“首先让我们看看双方的首发阵容！摩纳哥这边采取了4-3-2-1的阵型，门将是30号罗马，后防线由4号伊巴拉、27号罗德里格斯搭档32号吉韦和3号埃夫拉、中场由14号西塞、7号贝纳尔迪，15号齐科斯、8号久利、25号罗滕，10号莫伦特斯则出任单前锋。”

"From the point of view of the formation, Deschamps' team tends to play conservatively. Although Deschamps claimed before the game that he had found a way to limit Deco, we still don't know how effective it will be."

“波尔图这边出任首发门将的是99号巴亚，22号保罗·费雷拉、2号若热.科斯塔、4号卡瓦略、8号瓦伦特组成的防线令人放心。中场方面则是23号门德斯6号科斯蒂尼亚、18号马尼切拖后，10号德科顶在前面，锋线上由11号德尔莱和19号阿尔伯托搭档。”

This starting lineup surprised Didier Deschamps on the sidelines. Mourinho did not let McCarthy, the top scorer in the Portuguese Super League this season, start the game, but let the 19-year-old Alberto partner with Dellei.

Deschamps frowned and glanced at Mourinho on the other side, and then looked at Morientes on the field - Morientes had just recovered from his foot injury, and his body was actually not in the best condition.But he didn't have the courage to win the top scorer who has scored 9 goals in the Champions League this season. The team can reach the final all the way, relying on Morientes' brave performance.

In the 3rd minute of the opening, the captains of the two sides had a direct dialogue. Monaco's Giuly responded with a beautiful direct pass from Evra behind him.Porto's defenders turned around less quickly than Giuly, and Giuly almost formed a single-handed goal after getting rid of the entanglement of the Porto defender.

But Porto goalkeeper Baya, who once played for Barcelona, ​​​​has rich experience, and he rushed out of the penalty area in time to make a clearance.

The ball rolled all the way and landed at the feet of Monaco's Cisse. Seeing that the Porto players had no time to press him, Cisse simply tried a long shot from the front of the penalty area, but his left foot sent the shot flying. .

"Oh, not long after the opening, Monaco gave Porto a big blow! The cooperation between Evra and Giuly was very exciting, but it was a pity that Cisse, who followed the follow-up shot, kicked the ball away. Porto people should be careful, they must limit their activity. Evra on the left, otherwise Evra's impact will definitely make them suffer."

At the beginning of the game, Gotze temporarily put the question behind him, and he talked about Yan Jing who was sitting next to him.

"Boss, who do you think will win?"

Nick raised his head before Yan Jing could answer: "I think Monaco can win! Morientes will definitely score!"

Yan Jing shook his head and said to Nick: "Judging from the first few touches of the ball, Morientes is not in a good state today. Maybe his foot injury is just right and he is not in the best state."

"Then you think Porto will win?"

"If Morientes slumps, then 100% the win will be Porto."

In the 7th minute, Dellei of Porto intercepted Zikos's ball beautifully in the frontcourt, and then he took the ball and turned around trying to get rid of Zikos behind him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zikos, who had been cut off the ball, quickly stretched out his feet and shoveled Delly to the ground.

"Good job! Tackle that idiot!"

"Shit, that bastard didn't stop his feet, this is a yellow card!"

"Beep—" The referee's whistle sounded sharply amidst the curses of the fans.

He stepped forward to remind Zikos to pay attention to his actions, and gave Porto a direct free kick, and it seemed that he had no intention of drawing cards.

The Porto team's first free kick was Deco. The referee was once again asking Monaco's wall to retreat 9.15 meters, while Deco and Dellei standing in front of the ball took the opportunity to cover their mouths and whispered for a while.

"Anderson, this distance is not suitable for direct shooting, the wall is too dense and too high."

"Well, I also think, let's find Carvalho's point first. You make a fake shot. After I send it out, you follow up immediately to see if you have a chance to kick."

Mourinho on the sidelines watched the two decide their tactics in a few words, and then the referee whistled to signal that a penalty could be imposed.

The Monaco players nervously watched Dellei and Deco standing on both sides of the ball, and their goalkeeper Roma quickly made a judgment in his heart-Deco must be the one who took the penalty.

The Monaco fans at the scene booed bursts, hoping to deter Porto's leading star, but obviously it didn't work very well for Deco, who was not inexperienced in major competitions.

"Oh, Dellei started... He made a fake shot, but didn't kick it, Monaco's defenders were tricked! Deco took a free kick from the right and lobbed it into the chaotic penalty area-- "
