466 The first collision

"In Porto, except for God, it's me!"

It was Mourinho, the most arrogant head coach of European football in the 21st century. Although he is only the head coach of the Portuguese league, he can still see Mourinho's arrogance.

Some people say that Mourinho is arrogant and narcissistic.

But when it came to the Dragon Stadium, George realized that what Mourinho said was not exaggerated at all. Mourinho is indeed the most popular person besides God here.

When George entered the court, the whole Dragon Court was full of boos. All the boos came to George. Then they began to sing praises for Mourinho, and everyone could see that the Porto fans were completely aimed at George. You can see their dissatisfaction with George.

This should be because of the war of words between George and Mourinho before the game, which led to the hostility of Porto fans to George.

Mourinho is very arrogant.

But it's true.

Mourinho has unimaginable prestige in Porto.

However, it is no wonder that Mourinho can be so loved by Porto fans. Mourinho took over the team in the middle of the 01-02 season. He took the team out of the predicament and became the third place in the Portuguese Super League.

And last season was Mourinho's first full season.

But in the last season, Mourinho completed a miracle. Unexpectedly, he won the Portuguese Super League, the Portuguese Cup and the UEFA Cup, completing a triple crown. And Mourinho's results are still excellent this season.

Not only is it far ahead in the Portuguese Super League, but also eliminated many good players in the Champions League and entered the top four of the Champions League.

Such achievements are, of course, popular among fans.

Now Mourinho is the popular head coach in European football. Even after the end of last season, Florentino considered Mourinho. However, in the end, Real Madrid thought Mourinho was too young, so they chose Queros.

So much so that Mourinho said, "There is regret, but it will never be me."

At present, there are still many strong European teams that want to invite Mourinho.

Although the Dragon Stadium is full of boos, George is also a lot of battles. In the Premier League, no matter which away game George played, there was basically no one who was not booed. George completely ignored these boos and walked to the front and shook hands with Mourinho. The two of them are not familiar with each other at all, and they haven't even said a word before.

It was only because of this collision that I had a quarrel in the media.

So the two of them just shake hands simply, completely out of courtesy.

After that, we will go our separate ways.

"Good job, everyone. This is the Champions League semi-final, Blackburn vs. Porto. Porto is a dark horse in the Champions League this season, and they have completed the first big surprise of the season. That is, Manchester United was eliminated 3-1 in two rounds in the eighth final of the UEFA Champions League.

"After the quarterfinals, George issued his own championship declaration. Coach Mourinho is also tit-for-tat against George's declaration of war.

Although George looked down on Porto in front of the media, he underestimated Mourinho.

In fact, in my heart, I attach great importance to Mourinho and Porto. And it's not a general emphasis.

As a latecomer, if you don't know the famous Mourinho, you will be too ignorant.

Although many people criticized it, Mourinho's champion was piled up with money. But this is just an extreme statement. Mourinho's success in Porto doesn't cost much money at all. As for later, there is something wrong with having money.

There are many clubs that invest money in world football, but there are few successful clubs. Having money does not mean that you can succeed. Only by spending money can you succeed. And Mourinho is obviously the best among them.

And Mourinho can succeed in every place he goes. This is strength.

So George was not careless about Mourinho's Porto.

............The game begins.

"First of all, let me introduce the starting lineup of both sides. Although the injured Miku has returned from injury, George did not put him in the starting lineup. Instead, he continued to use Ribery, who performed well in the last game. And the front line is Drogba replacing Klose.

"The goalkeeper on this side of Porto is Baia, and the defenders are Valente, Carvalho, Jorge Cost and Paul. Ferreira, the four midfielders are Costinha, Mendes, Alenichev and Manicce, and the two strikers are McCarthy and Carlos. Alberto."

Martin. According to the usual practice, Taylor will first introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

George's idea is very simple. Mourinho's Porto, in terms of the team's strength, is absolutely impossible to compare with Blackburn. Although Blackburn can't be compared with European giants, there are still many star players and world-class players in the team.

Therefore, George believes that Mourinho, who has always believed in utilitarian football, will definitely choose to defend.

So George's requirement for the team is to attack the opponent at the beginning of the game. Give them a surprise attack when Porto is not familiar with Blackburn. Otherwise, when Porto is familiar with Blackburn, their defense will become more and more targeted.

That's what George thinks.

Unfortunately, the game was unexpected.

When George thought that Mourinho would choose to defend, Mourinho unexpectedly made a fierce attack at the beginning of the game.

George didn't think of Mourinho's move.

Blackburn players didn't expect it either.

Although George values Mourinho's Porto, the power gap between the two sides is there. George believes that Mourinho's best way is to defend against the counterattack.

But Porto was more active at the beginning of the game.

It disrupted Blackburn's original plan.

Blackburn also thought about attacking at the beginning of the game. But Porto's positivity completely disrupted Blackburn's rhythm.

Of course, Blackburn is stronger than Porto. Blackburn's moment of chaos was just that he didn't expect Porto to be so active. Porto's enthusiasm made Blackburn unable to attack, so he had to shrink back.

For good, Blackburn is also used to playing defensive counterattacks.

Although I began to panic, I soon calmed down.

About ten minutes later, Porto's attack was also over.

Sure enough, Mourinho is a person who knows current affairs. Seeing that the attack in the opening stage did not have an effect, the whole formation of Porto shrank back.

Mourinho's team has always been excellent in defense.

Porto is no exception.

Porto doesn't look at the back line and midfielders. He is not famous in European football. But under Mourinho's organization, the defense is excellent.

Moreover, Porto's defense is firmly stuck in the middle fortress, advocating active robbery and regional defense, and compressing the opponent's offensive space as much as possible. And Porto retreated deeply. They just protected the 30-meter area in front of their door.

Blackburn has not encountered intensive defense in the Premier League.

But there is no one who has made the defense so watertight. Blackburn has little room for players to play in the front court.

Ribery is not mature yet.

In the last match with Milan, when there was enough space, he played very well. But when Porto recycles and doesn't give space, Ribery is very uncomfortable.

Kaka is even more so.

Although Kaka's ability to handle the ball in place is much stronger now. But the biggest threat is still his strong impact. He still can't make it easy for Miku and Pires.

So in the front court, only Pires went back and forth in series.

But even so, once you enter the 30-meter area of Porto, Blackburn's attack will be strongly blocked by Porto. Porto is full of players in front of the goal. No matter where the ball is passed, there are people everywhere.

This made George despise Mourinho fiercely.

Mourinho, don't be a shrinking turtle. Give it to me. How can I get in if you don't come out?

But Mourinho seems to be a shrinking turtle. No matter how Blackburn attacks, he can't shrink out.

When counterattacking, Porto's former striker McCarthy was the fulcrum, Carlos swam on both sides, and the right side of Alenichev and Ferreira was the center of gravity of the attack. In the middle, Maniche is behind the striker, and there is also the back of Mendes in the middle.

But to be honest, the strength of Porto is really too poor now.

Or it is already a miracle that Porto can get to the present.

The gap between Porto's main substitutes is very obvious. There is little choice for Mourinho. There are few useful players in Porto's current bench. If there is another one that is a little stronger, that is, Brazilian striker Delley.

But on Blackburn's side, even players at the level of Miku and Klose are sitting in the bench. You can also see the strength gap between the two teams.

Although Mourinho saved the current draw with intensive defense, the threat of counterattack is also average.

But George still didn't come out. Don't look at the limited threat of Porto's counterattack now, but once Blackburn moves, Porto's killing move will come. Therefore, although Porto retreated from the whole line, George was still very cautious.

It's just that caution can't solve the problem now.

Although the away game is zero to zero, it is not an unacceptable score. But George couldn't accept the score.

George must score a goal in this game.

It's just that Blackburn's attack can't get in now. When you get to the front of the restricted area of Porto, you can't pass forward. You can only keep falling on the periphery. Because I really can't find a good space.

"George, it can't go on like this. Frank is on the side, and there is almost no room for a breakthrough.

Blanco came next to George and spoke gently.

"Ye-huh."

George nodded.

It is true that the current Ribery is not the player who can be the core of a team later. Now he is more on the sidelines, and now the side roads are blocked, so his role is not reflected at all.

George looked back at Miku on the bench.

Miku is the best for a intensive defensive team like Porto. It's just that he just recovered, so George didn't let him start on the stage just to be on the safe.

However, if the game continues to be so stiff, George can only use Miku.
