On the day of the match, Porto home to the Stadio d'Oro, 20:30. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the Dragon Stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, has long been crowded, and the enthusiastic cheers and songs of Porto fans fill the stadium. While they are not optimistic about their team's prospects for the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie, they are eager to see their side face the likes of Manchester United in the knockout rounds, especially when it takes place at the Dragons.

Since the Bosman Act, it has become a rare sight for Portuguese clubs to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League, and this is no different for Porto.

It is precisely because of this that these Porto fans at this time will be so impatient to wait for the start of this game.

Meanwhile, the two managers of Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho are seizing the last minute to give their players a boost in the dressing room.

Among them, the scene that is taking place in the Porto dressing room at this moment is the most alarming. If outsiders, especially journalists and media could see this scene, they would definitely be stunned and shout "We have all been deceived".

At this moment, Porto's young coach Jose Mourinho, who had just emerged in European football last season and was known for his unique and tough personality, was surrounded and watched by all the Porto players, like a general before the war, constantly vibrating his arms vigorously, while constantly turning his head, looking directly into the eyes of every Porto player with knife-like, wolf-like fierce eyes, and at the same time, he was also roaring loudly and making the final speech before the game.

At this time, Mourinho is like a hungry wolf, like a hungry wolf who wants to eat meat, full of aggressive atmosphere and deterrence, how can there be a little bit of "fear" like what the outside world, the media, and newspapers said a few days ago, saying that he was afraid of Ferguson and Manchester United, so he uncharacteristically did not accept any public interviews before the game, and even the Porto players were banned by him.

But does Mourinho look a little scared now, and instead of being afraid, he has a bruised and vicious appearance, which is clearly to fight to the death.

It is clear that everyone has been deceived by him, and his uncharacteristically "silence" is only to paralyze the outside media and Ferguson and Manchester United. The way he looks now is the most authentic way he treats this game, like a hungry wolf who wants to bite off a piece of meat from the tiger of Manchester United under Alex Ferguson.

"Guys, now is our best chance to make a name for ourselves! Best chance!! Now this United team is the first to go, and like I said before, their left side is a free lane for us in this game, and if we take advantage of their weakness, we can have a chance to win. I want you to attack this fiercely throughout the game and don't leave them with any affection! Any!! Be sure to remember this, bite this point, and never let go! Don't even let it go when you die!! I will never allow any of you to be negligent on this point, and if I find out, I'll get that guy off right away, understand?! ”

"Got it!!" A group of Porto players replied loudly.

Last season's treble results have given Mourinho a very high status and prestige in their hearts, and they all know that this is an extremely strict, and even sometimes a little ruthless, no matter what tactics he arranges, he is extremely strict with his own tactical requirements, and no one is allowed to have any disobedience, otherwise, he will really do everything.

Mourinho, on the other hand, looked around the faces of every Porto player very seriously, especially the faces of the Porto right-wing players who had been sacrificed tactically by him in this game, until he confirmed that everyone was truly obedient and had no other thoughts, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Although he also knows that with his current position in the Porto team, it is impossible for anyone to publicly protest against his tactics, but it has long been his habit to make a tour before each game to check the true attitude of the players.

Since his first coaching time but he was not convinced and trusted because he was "just an interpreter in the Barcelona coach's box", and was finally swept away by Benfica, this has become a personal habit that this Portuguese young coach with sensitive self-esteem but a naturally arrogant and extreme personality cannot change.

"José's time is almost up." At this time, his assistant coach suddenly stepped forward and reminded him in his ear.

Mourinho nodded, began the last morale-boosting speech, looked at the Porto players in front of him, and suddenly began to shout in an aggressive voice: "Before the game, everyone, including the bullshit media and newspapers, was not optimistic that we would win. It's as if in their eyes, United are born to be a winner, and we are the doomed losers. This is all bullshit! Bullshit!! From the first day I coached you, I told you that I want to be the best manager in the world, and you are the best players in the world! The best!! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the door and continued, "Since those people are not optimistic about us, what you have to do now is to tell them that this is the Dragon Stadium!" It's our home turf!! And not that bullshit Old Trafford! This is our place! We're the dragons, whether it's the Red Devils, Manchester United, or whatever, if you get here, you have to fucking listen to us! If you don't, you're going to tear them apart! Completely shredded them!! Did you hear me?! Did you hear that?!! ”

"Hear me! Shred them apart!! ”

"So what are you waiting for! Let's go!! ”

"Oh!!" In the end, the fighting spirit in the hearts of the Porto players was completely boiling, and after answering Mourinho's order with a high roar like a Viking, they immediately opened the door of the dressing room and rushed out majestically.

After all the Porto players left, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, and the spirit of the whole person suddenly stepped down, showing a little tiredness on his face, how could he still have a little bit of excitement as if he had been beaten just now, and his momentum was no longer sharp and fierce before, and he looked like he had consumed a lot of energy.

Seeing this, the assistant coach on the side handed him a bottle of water in a timely manner, and joked with a smile: "Jose, you are very excited today." ”

Mourinho took the water bottle, gave the old partner a blank look, and didn't reply at all, just raised his head and poured saliva hard, then handed back the water bottle, turned his head and walked towards more accidents.

Listening to the deafening and passionate singing that wafted from the field, Mourinho, who was wearing a black coat, became more and more determined, and his eyes were as sharp as just now.

Excited? Of course I'm excited! Today, I'm facing the big names Alex Ferguson and the Red Devils, so how can I not be excited?!!

It's a great stepping stone!

My stepping stone!!

It's mine!!!
