Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After finishing the statistics at Manchester City, Phil Johnson and his team returned to school. Even Fiona was called back by her tutor to perfect her thesis, which immediately shattered her idea of ​​being lazy. A few days later, Manchester City players who went to participate in international competitions also returned to the team and began to prepare for the next game. Originally, Manchester City should play against Manchester United at home in this round of the Premier League, but because this game was too close to Manchester United's Champions League game, the English Football Association made it convenient for Manchester United and postponed the game to May 11, 2004, which was between the penultimate round and the last round. Although Manchester City was reluctant, the English Football Association still said that they had to put the overall situation first, after all, Manchester United went out to win glory for the country.

So Manchester City had to endure it.

Who made themselves a small club now?

And the opponent that Manchester United had to play in the Champions League was Porto led by Mourinho.

In the first round of the match between the two sides, Porto defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home, and returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United naturally wanted to defeat Porto to complete the promotion.

But Yang Luo remembered that this was Mourinho's famous battle, shining in Old Trafford in a windbreaker...

So Yang Luo would naturally not miss this famous scene.

Of course, with his identity, it was naturally not easy to appear in the box or VIP area, so he still secretly bought a ticket and sat in the ordinary fan area.

In order to cover himself, he also put on a big peaked cap, and then found a pair of black glasses and framed them on the bridge of his nose.

Soon, players and coaches from both sides began to enter the field.

The ticket Yang Luo bought was in a good position. He saw the familiar red-nosed old man and a middle-aged man in a windbreaker at a glance.

It must be said that the middle-aged man is now in high spirits. At the age of 40, he is still a young coach in the position of coach. Although he is not very tall, his handsome features and a bit of unruly temperament make him look very attractive.

No wonder he is the head coach who can get endorsements!

This temperament is really unique.

Even Mancini, who is also handsome, is slightly inferior in temperament.

Ferguson, who shook hands with him, did not expect that this Portuguese would become his rival in the future.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

In this game, Porto wore blue and white striped shirts, and Manchester United still wore traditional red jerseys.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United launched a fierce attack on Porto's goal.

The score of 2-1 made the game very subtle. If Manchester United scored, the advantage would return to them; if Porto scored first, Manchester United had to score two goals in a row to play overtime with them.

This is the charm of away goals, but more than a decade later, UEFA actually abolished this genius system.

However, Manchester United's advantage at home is still very obvious. They suppressed Porto in the half court for a beating.

Sure enough, in the 30th minute of the first half, Van Nistelrooy scored for Manchester United!

This is a classic side cross tactic. Saha in the penalty area first headed the ball, and Van Nistelrooy at the back point shot and scored!

This goal immediately made Old Trafford crazy.

This means that Manchester United has regained the advantage!

Yang Luo in the stands frowned. He remembered that Scholes scored the goal in this game.

But he thought about it. Now the players on the field are different, so the scene is naturally different.

Will the final result be different?

Thinking of this, Yang Luo was immediately refreshed.

A game with a known result is naturally not as exciting as a game full of unknowns.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines, called Maniche over, and told him the deployment of the game.

After the game resumed, Porto really changed its formation and handed the ball to the unprepossessing Deco.

At this time, Deco can definitely be regarded as a top midfielder. He is the real brain of this Porto.

Manchester United, which does not have a full-time defensive midfielder, is very troubled by his possession of the ball, and frequently gives Porto good opportunities.

Unfortunately, Porto has been unable to score, which gradually tilts the balance of victory towards Manchester United.

Yang Luo in the stands couldn't help wondering, will the result of the game change?

If Porto is eliminated, will Mourinho not be favored by Abramovich and take another path?

The Premier League will also undergo drastic changes because of this!

But just in the 89th minute of the game, Porto won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Yang Luo straightened up involuntarily.

If I remember correctly, Porto used a set-piece in the frontcourt to complete the lore!

He couldn't help but cast his eyes on the football.

However, this ball does not seem to be suitable for direct shooting, but passing it is more appropriate.

Deco stood in front of the football, he took a look at the situation in the penalty area, took a run-up, and passed the ball!

There was chaos in the penalty area.

But at this moment, a man in a blue and white striped shirt jumped high and headed the ball!

It was Carvalho!

Goalkeeper Howard was shocked and subconsciously saved the ball, but it didn't go far!

Suddenly, a Porto player rushed out of the crowd and scored the ball!

It was Costinha!

Yang Luo's heart skipped a beat. Although the way of scoring was different, the scorer was still the same person!

This ball immediately reversed the situation completely!

If the game ends here, Porto will advance to the next round!

Suddenly, the Porto fans went crazy!

And Mourinho, wearing a windbreaker, jumped down from the bench in ecstasy and rushed directly to the players who were celebrating!

Yang Luo in the stands raised his eyebrows, and this classic scene still appeared!

Although he still expected this result, witnessing the famous scene with his own eyes still gave him a very wonderful feeling.

But Mourinho's madness also made the fans on the scene very dissatisfied, and they booed wildly.

But a madman is a madman, he doesn't care about these at all!

Ferguson was chewing gum and watching all this expressionlessly.

He knew what this goal meant, but it was done.

Fortunately, he had experienced enough.

After the restart, Manchester United launched a suicidal attack against Porto, but failed to change the situation in just a few minutes.

With the last attack fruitless, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In the end, Porto defeated Manchester United with a total score of 3-2 and successfully advanced to the next round!

And the name Mourinho was successfully engraved in the hearts of every fan at Old Trafford!

Yang Luo looked at his departing back and sighed in his heart: It seems that what is coming will eventually come.

So, see you in the Premier League next season!
