Before the game, both sides announced their starting line-ups, and both managers did not do the usual thing when they submitted their names an hour before the game, but so much so that the media came in time to let the names of the two opponents meet the fans before the game started.

Fans immediately started a heated discussion, Porto's starting lineup is not difficult to guess, Mourinho did not embarrass too many people, goalkeeper Baia is the main goalkeeper of the iron fight, this is not much to think about.

Of the back four, Paolo Ferreira and Valente split the flanks, while Carvalho and Jorge Costa played in central defence.

However, the configuration of the four midfielders made everyone feel a little surprised, Mourinho's four players did not have a good player to break through on the wing, Maniche, Costinha, Mendes, Deco, are all strong defenders.

The two strikers are both from Brazil, Alberto and Silva, and they have the same characteristics, with good individual jishu, fast speed, and good counter-attackers.

However, although Porto has two strikers, which is a bit different from the usual four, three, three or three strikers, but, in general, this is the strongest squad in Porto.

Chelsea's starting XI surprised many, with many saying they would never be able to guess who Lynn wanted to play.

The striker had nothing to say, with Ronaldo and Anelka, two gold medal fighters, both on the field.

What everyone didn't expect was the arrangement of the two wings, Joe Cole sat on the bench, replaced by Franck Franck Franchi, and Palacio did not get a chance to play, but Ronaldo started.

Frank Lampard formed an iron triangle in midfield with Emerson and Alonso.

The most surprising thing was that Lynn deployed a back three. John Terry brought two Italian defenders, Zauri and Panucci.

The goalkeeper is Cudicini.

It's fair to say that Chelsea's starting line-up and formation have changed dramatically. Even with the starting line-up, fans are still controversial about Chelsea's formation. Whether it's three-five-two, three-three-four, or three-four-three, there's endless debate.

With Emerson and Alonso starting at the same time, it can be seen that Lynn attaches great importance to the defense of Porto's counter-attack in the middle.

Whether it's Emerson or Marcos Alonso, their defensive hardness is enough for any challenge, while Mourinho's forward midfielder Deco will face a trio of defensive stalwarts in Porto's squad. Deco will undoubtedly be Porto's core engine, and Lynn knows that better than anyone.

Joe Cole's breakthrough ability is very strong, but, under the defense of Porto, Lynn believes that Cole, who is not strong enough, is difficult to play, and it is okay to meet other opponents, but Mourinho is not the master who plays cards according to common sense, and he has a bad stomach. Lynn can guess that Mourinho must have set up a rather vicious way to restrain Cole against Joe Cole.

It's Ribery, this little strong character. The momentum of the breakthrough is not bad at all, the speed and jishu are all top-notch, and the key is his physical fitness. The ability to resist strikes is superb, no matter how Porto target Ribery. The French can create an endless threat to their opponents.

Ronaldo's role is the same, after this half season of training. Cristiano Ronaldo has already completed the transition of his role, and his individual breakthrough ability, combined with the team's tactics, is enough to give Porto's defenders a headache.

In addition, it can be seen that in the Chelsea lineup, the ability to control the ball is not low, no matter which player, the ball control skills are first-class, which also exposes Lynn's determination to use attack to solve problems.

Anyway, Lynn knows that no matter how much he confuses his opponent, Mourinho is a defensive counterattack that does not waver, and he will not ink.

Jose Mourinho's original fears dissipated as long as Chelsea would not be the same as him, and he could see that the opponent was playing attacking football, which was right in the middle.

He didn't think it was a wise choice for Lynn to give up his best defensive tactics, and if he did, he would definitely not do it, and he could only laugh at the opponent who made the wrong choice at the time

"Guys, let me tell you something, your leader, going to be a father, I know that a few days ago, I left the training ground suddenly, I haven't come back for more than a few days, I haven't told you, and now I have decided to tell you that I have a new position - father!"

There was a sudden whistle in the dressing room, especially Ribery, who didn't expect to start, this is the final of the Champions League, to be honest, he didn't have much consistent playing time in the league, and now he is really stuffed into the starting lineup, which can no longer be described as a surprise.

Although he had a premonition in the pre-match training, it really happened, and it definitely made him ecstatic.

Now, the words of the leader made him suddenly come alive, and the whistle was loud.

Lynn smiled, this good news, he held back for more than ten days, just to let this news play a little residual heat today.

"I promised Kate to use the Champions League trophy as a gift for the birth of my child, and although I would love to go on the pitch and get it back, I decided to entrust this glorious and difficult task to you at the thought of my poor football skills"

"Don't worry, boss, we'll get it back!" Ribery deserves to be the living treasure of the team, shouting loudly.

There was laughter in the locker room again!

"Well, I'm sure you can, remember, this is the promise you made to me."

The players nodded their heads and accepted the promise.

"Last year, we had a chance to win the championship, but, as everyone knows, accidents happened, and I also said that next season we will come back and take back the glory that belongs to us, and now, we are back!!"

"Don't be careless, take back what belongs to us!"

After the game started, Lynn was relieved that Mourinho's tactics had not changed much, and it was still the same, but the opponent was more resolute.

Rough, simple, and back-to-back scenes were everywhere from the beginning.

Chelsea's passing and cutting rhythm was so fast that Porto couldn't keep up with it, they studied Chelsea for a long time, they didn't expect Chelsea to change so much, they had to use fouls to stop the opponent, as for whether it was a card or not, they didn't care.

Porto were trying to create a psychological barrier for the Chelsea players with a rough foul.

Lynn couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Mourinho to be so black.

Fortunately, their tactics were effective against this foul tactic, and in less than ten minutes, Porto had already received two yellow cards, Maniche and Costinha, the backbone of Porto's defense, Liliang, who had only started the game with two yellow cards, which made Porto's situation suddenly become sinister.

Before the game, when he formulated his tactics, he felt that in the Champions League final, the referee would not easily play the cards, and he must ensure the excitement of the game, otherwise, the publicity effect of the Champions League will be greatly reduced.

However, today's referee gave a yellow card to Maniche who infringed on Ribery in the third minute, and then Ronaldo earned another one, which made Mourinho thunder on the sidelines, and Zuihou was sternly warned by the fourth referee before returning to his seat with a snort.

'I don't think Mourinho has anything to complain about, Chelsea are very fast, most of the fouls committed by Porto players are against people who don't have the ball at their feet, if you don't give a card, you can't say it, they should reflect on themselves instead of complaining.'

Although Porto's defense was very passive, the situation on the field was not very pretty, the game was quite ugly, and Chelsea's attack generally came to the middle line, and it was extremely difficult to advance.

The game is undoubtedly in a stalemate.

Lynn is not in a hurry, he knows very well what the essence of Porto's tactics is at the moment, in order to stop Chelsea's advance, they need to put in more sprints and runs, and spend more physical strength to block Chelsea's attack, for a while, they can maintain a balance with this rough style of play, but there is a limit to people's physical condition.

All Chelsea have to do is be patient and wait until the opponents are almost exhausted before the game is decided. (To be continued......)
