If nothing catches the eye at the press conference, then the media will have to make up their own topics!

Ahead of such an important final, the media is racking their brains to find something to watch in the two teams. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, the managers of both teams, 44-year-old Benitez and 41-year-old Mourinho, are both the hottest young coaches in world football today.

The growth trajectory of the two is similar.

Benitez came from a professional background, and after an unsuccessful career in professional football, he began his career as a coach at the age of 26.

He was an assistant coach of a giant club like Real Madrid, and he resolutely chose to go out alone, which was ten years, and finally he rose strongly in Valencia and led the Liverpool team to play the most glorious season in world football!

Unlike Benitez, Mourinho does not have a resume as a player. He wasn't much of an academic, but he worked as a translator with a great boss like Robson for many years.

Over the years, he has learned a lot about tactics, but at the same time his own thoughts and ideas have become clearer.

From translator to assistant coach and then to the head coach of a domestic giant like Porto, Mourinho's road to promotion is as difficult as a traditional book, but it is not without adventures!

Both of them went from being unknown to suddenly becoming the managers of a strong team in the domestic league, and then led the team to excellent results, and began to attract the attention of the entire European football world.

The difference is that Benitez has already successfully logged into the giants, while Mourinho is on his way to the giants!

The two do not have a brilliant player resume, which makes them more dependent on their own strength in the team, which also marks that the two young coaches have excellent tactical accumulation!

Therefore, in addition to the competition between the two teams, this final is also a competition between these two young coaches!

Then, the two teams are also the same teams that were once rich in their ancestors, and their glorious history is also mentioned.

1987 was a glorious year for Porto, when they beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the Champions League final to win the first and only European Cup in their history. After 17 years, the group of inheritors of Porto's exploits once again marched to the top.

Those seniors also stood up at this time to cheer for the successor!

Then-coach Ardou Jorge, who is now in charge of CSKA Moscow, said: "Jose Mourinho's calmness gives confidence to the whole team, he is a natural handsome talent who brings out the potential in every player. ”

Striker Majer, who slammed his heel into Bayern Munich's decisive victory, commented on Delrey: "He [Delrey] is much stronger than when I was younger, he is just as technically good and he is a versatile player who takes few chances, and I believe that with the kind of inspiration that he has scored in a series of big games, we will all see him succeed again in the final." ”

The 46-year-old midfielder Sosa believes that the current No. 10 Deco does have the level of an international command, his individual ability can impress everyone, and a powerful cold shot is also an important scoring tool for the whole team.

Fortre, who has become a senior official at the club, is optimistic about Brazilian teenager right-back Alberto, saying that he is the key figure who can make a big difference in the stalemate stage, and that Liverpool will suffer a "poisonous foot" if they underestimate his youth, because Manchester United have suffered.

As for the old goalkeeper of the year, Mrinavisk, he was very fond of the Porto goalkeeper Baia: "He is the greatest goalkeeper in the history of Portugal!" He will go down in the annals of Portuguese football! ”

Liverpool, who have won the Champions League four times, has a glorious history.

As the king of Liverpool FC, he single-handedly created the most glorious period of the Reds, led the team to three Champions League triumphs, and both players and coaches achieved success in Liverpool, Dalglish expressed his support for the team before the game: "Benitez is a great coach. He is a very good candidate to lead Liverpool towards a revival. He is very clever with his players and with his tactics. Under his leadership, the Liverpool team will be successful! ”

Dalglish also spoke highly of Chen Xi, who is known as the new king of Liverpool: "I said before that he did a better job than me when he was a player, he has already achieved such excellent results at a young age, so when he retires, his achievements will definitely be much higher than mine!" There is no doubt that in the Champions League final, he will be the one who will decide the outcome of the game! ”

Liverpool's legendary goalscorer Ian Rush praised Owen as a goalscorer: "Owen is a very spiritual goalscorer. His pace, his movement and his finishing touches are world-class. As long as he can stay away from injuries and stay healthy, he can become a legendary goalscorer. In the Champions League final, he will certainly be a serious threat to the Porto goal! ”

In addition, Liverpool's legendary winger John Barnes is also not stingy about his optimism about Chen Xi. As a Jamaican-English player, he and Chen Xi have a lot in common. He believes that Chen Xi can achieve more than him with Liverpool and the national team, and has the potential to become the best player in England's history!

Liverpool's legendary centre-back Phil Thompson has praised Reds captain Hyypia as a mainstay of the Reds' backline!

Paul Ince, who played for Liverpool for two seasons, said Steven Gerrard would be at the heart of England's midfield for the next decade!

Of course, before the game, the grievances between Chen Xi and the Porto team were naturally repeatedly mentioned by the media.

In last season's UEFA Cup match, Chen Xi, who completed a hat-trick, almost single-handedly helped Tottenham Hotspur defeat Porto, which made Mourinho hate.

At the same time, Chen Xi's terrifying 18 UEFA Cup goals also made Porto's Brazilian goalscorer Delle's record of 13 goals useless!

Porto have made only a few changes in their squad this season, with the majority of players playing in last season's Champions League final. Therefore, they can be described as "impressed" by Chen Xi.

In this game, their goal is naturally to defeat Chen Xi's Liverpool to avenge last year's one-shot victory!

Speaking of last season, the media did not forget to remind fans that Chen Xi's Champions League goals this season have reached 17 goals, which is only one goal away from his own record of 18 goals in the three major European Cups!

In addition to the two sides of the final, the referee of this game is also a focus!

The final of this year's Champions Cup will be presided over by Danish Nelson, and the two assistant referees and the fourth referee are all Danes.

Nelson, 43, began working as a football referee in 1976 and began officiating international matches in 1988 when he was not yet 30.

For the English, Nelson once left them with gray memories. Because in 1998, Nelson sent heartthrob David Beckham off in the World Cup match between England and Argentina in France, which directly led to the elimination of England and Beckham became England's sinner.

To date, Nelson has officiated 134 international matches and is one of 12 referees appointed by UEFA for this summer's European Championships in Portugal.

Prior to the Champions Cup final, Nelson had made 44 appearances in the Champions Cup, but had yet to referee the final.

During his career, Nelson officiated four Porto games and two Liverpool games. Porto are without a win in those four games, while he bragged Liverpool and the Reds won both games. One of those matches in 2001 was between Porto and Liverpool, and Porto lost 2-0 away to Liverpool.

Speaking about the final, Nelson said: "It's an honour to officiate the Champions Cup final and I'm looking forward to the competition. I wasn't nervous at all. ”

All in all, before the Champions League final began, all the media focused on this match.

"Liverpool vow to be undefeated to the end"

"The Law of History Shows Liverpool Will Win the Championship"

"The Reds Kings will break the European single-season scoring record again"

"The Liverpool dynasty starts again, and the undefeated season creates a myth"

…… After Chen Xi's statement last time, there have been no reports of his scandal in the UK in the past few days, and at the same time, the media are trying to create a good atmosphere for the Liverpool team as the representative of England. The major British media have sided with Liverpool and cheered for the Red Army.

"Mourinho has found a way to limit Edison"

"Comeback, Mu Shuai will not let history repeat itself"

"A curse hinders Liverpool's unbeaten season"

…… Naturally, the Portuguese media also went out of their way to cheer for their team, but their influence was much smaller than that of the British media.

Of course, other major media in Europe have naturally analyzed and predicted this game. Their position is relatively neutral.

The Spanish newspaper Marca, Ace, Le Monde Sport, the German Kicker and Bild, the Italian Milan Sport, the Turin Sport, the French Squad and other lethal media have made objective analyses of the game.

They see this as a "revival battle" between two old giants, and this final will be crucial for both teams, because whoever wins this championship trophy will mean who is one step closer to revival!

Among them may also be relatively optimistic about Liverpool, who have created a crazy unbeaten myth this season, but at the same time, they should not underestimate Porto, who have reached the European finals for two consecutive seasons.

In short, in the eyes of these media, everything will have to wait for the game to be revealed!
