"George, now it seems that it was the right decision for me to invite Mendes to watch the game this time. ”

As the players from both sides walked into the tunnel with different expressions, Abramovich was whispering to George with a delightful look on his face that he had made a "wise decision". Obviously, after watching the performances of both teams in the first half, the Russian tycoon believes that Porto have a better chance of winning this game. In this way, Abu invited Mendes, not Deschamps' agent, to watch the game before the game, which will undoubtedly allow the Russians to seize the initiative in the next operation to recruit Mourinho!

"Hey, Roman, did you say that you hadn't decided whether to invite Jose Mourinho as Chelsea's manager until the game started?" What would you do if it wasn't Porto who were leading the way now, but Monaco?"

"If Monaco were to win the championship, I would have contacted Didier Deschamps' agent after the race. Abu didn't have the slightest panic or worry on George's question, but smiled and answered George's question heartily, "Don't worry, I'm very careful." The glass of this box is specially made so that you can't see the inside at all from the outside. Also, reporters weren't allowed in the area at all, and Mendes and I arrived at the stadium at different entrances and times. So, you don't have to worry that the media will find out about my invitation to Mendes to watch the game. ”

“…… Roman, you're really careful in what you do. After listening to Abu's explanation, George couldn't help but express his admiration for the Russians' watertight style. George then turned his gaze back to the temporarily empty pitch and observed a moment of silence for Deschamps.

Because he has memories of his past life, he knows very well that this Champions League final can be said to be a watershed moment in the coaching careers of Mourinho and Deschamps. Jose Mourinho, who won the trophy, became the hottest coach in Europe and won the trophy, while Didier Deschamps, who lost the final, spent a long time in Ligue 1 until he made a name for himself at Marseille and got the chance to coach the French national team.

After the start of the second half, Monaco tried to launch a counter-offensive to recover the score as soon as possible, but in the absence of the team's long-term advantage, Roten alone on the left side fought alone on the wing, Monaco's offensive was somewhat inadequate, and it was difficult to break the heavy defense set by the Porto players. And Morientes up front has also been greatly limited and has not been able to play his role as the new Champions League top scorer.

And Deschamps, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but show a little anxious look in his eyes - obviously, Deschamps also realized that there was not much time left for him to redeem the defeat.

Faced with a long-term situation, the mood of the Monaco players began to become more and more impatient. Especially after Nelson misjudged a successful anti-offside position by Morientes at an inopportune time, the Monaco players were even more restless, leading to many undeserved mistakes in the time that followed.

In the 71st minute, Monaco failed to take advantage of a corner kick attack, but was taken advantage of by Porto to play a wave of rapid counterattacks, forming a three-on-three situation in the front. Deco shook off the returning Bernardi and distributed the ball to the left side of the pitch, while Alenichev caught the ball and burst into the box, attracting the attention of several Monaco defenders, and then suddenly knocked the ball back into the middle with his left foot!

Deco, who had been following up in the middle after distributing the ball to Alenichev, received a pass from the former, and at this time. I saw that the Portuguese international adjusted slightly, picked up his right foot and fired a low shot directly from 12 meters in front of the goal, and hit the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, 2-0!

Deco's widening goal sent the Monaco players in complete panic. After all, compared to Porto, who won the domestic league cup and the UEFA Cup treble last season, Monaco clearly lacks such a championship temperament. Therefore, it is difficult for Monaco players to maintain sufficient composure and composure in the face of difficult situations, and the number and frequency of mistakes on the pitch will naturally increase.

In the 75th minute, Delrey, who was dribbling on the left side of the pitch, suddenly sent a cross with the outside of his right foot, which bounced into the Monaco penalty area after hitting Rodriguez in the chest. Alenichev, who grabbed the opportunity, shook off Rodriguez eight meters in front of goal, and then calmly volleyed the ball into the near corner with his right foot to seal the win for Porto!

Seeing that the score on the field became 3-0, Deschamps, who had been mobilizing troops and trying to recover the score, had no choice but to sigh and accept the team's loss in the Champions Cup final.

Of course, despite the fact that he has accepted this outcome in his heart, it does not mean that Deschamps will let the players give up on the game. For Didier Deschamps, who has been known for his fortitude and tenacity since his playing days, he hopes that the team can bounce back in the last ten minutes, and at least once to score against Porto!

Unfortunately, this hope of Deschamps did not materialize. After 90 minutes of fierce competition, the more experienced Porto finally came out on top and beat Monaco 3-0. After a full 17 years, we once again won the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs!

In addition, Porto also became the second team after Liverpool to win the UEFA Cup and the Champions Cup in a row. At the same time, Porto goalkeeper Vitor Baia has become the 11th player in history to win all three major European Cups!

At the same time as Nelson blew the final whistle, George watched as Abramovich pulled out a contract and handed it to Mendes, who took it from Abou with a smile on his face – apparently the two sides had agreed on Mourinho's signing before the final began. And now that Porto has won the championship, it is time for the two sides to officially complete this cooperation!

And just like that, the 2003-04 UEFA Champions League final has just come to an end, and a carving-up feast around Porto and Monaco has quietly begun in unnoticed corners!
