Chapter 300 The Ugly Final (94/136)

When players from both sides played, Chang Sheng stood in front of the coach's bench.

The UEFA Champions League theme song played over the stadium.

The choir of St. Martin's Society sang this great event in different languages.

The song was sung in the three official languages ​​of UEFA-French, English and German, and Chang Sheng found that he could understand all of them... "These are the best teams. They are teams of all colors The best of the best. One big event. All champions, all the best. The noblest and the best, a big show...they're the best, they're the best, they're the champions ...Champions! Best team! Great team! Champions!"

Listening to this song that he had heard countless times in front of the TV, Chang Sheng couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

This is the best and biggest stage in European football.

I am going to make a name for myself here today!

Chang Sheng pursed his lips, his face was expressionless, in fact, under his tightly closed lips, he was clenching his teeth and exerting himself.

※※※When the game started, Chang Sheng quickly discovered that Mourinho's way of dealing with himself was similar to what he expected...but to a certain extent, he did not expect it to be so violent.

Porto's style of play is completely rugby.

They don't care about fouls, they don't care about getting cards, and they keep coming towards the bodies of Valencia players from the first minute of the game.

They didn't come to play football at all!

Chang Sheng frowned at this scene.

As long as the referee allows it, there is nothing wrong with doing so, it is just a tactic.

Just as he can use his feet to wear down his opponent's fighting spirit, Porto can naturally scare himself away with a fierce rush.

Fortunately, I had anticipated this a long time ago and made arrangements for Porto's style of play.

In fact, your own tactics should be the best way to deal with this collision style of play.

Because if the opponent makes frequent physical contact, the best way is not to let the football stay at the feet of your team.

Every player has to pick up quick passes.

Try to minimize the time you spend in possession of the ball, so that even if the opponent hits you, you can't break the ball.

This is the countermeasure that Chang Sheng arranged at the beginning.

However, the degree of Porto's pressing is more fierce, and Valencia will naturally speed up its passing speed.

So you can often see Valencia players using one pass, or even passing the ball directly without stopping.

Doing so can effectively prevent the ball from being intercepted by Porto's players, but it also reduces the accuracy of their passing and leaves them no time to think about how to organize the offense.

Chang Sheng watched the scenes on the court.

He thought to himself that it's no wonder Mourinho was so confident before the game. It turned out that he had already figured out a tactic to deal with him.

Moreover, their tactics require a lot of physical strength, because players need to sprint and run back and forth non-stop.

Porto's tactics will drive Valencia and make Valencia players feel more tired. Because Valencia also need to pass and run fast.

The problem is that Valencia doesn't have 20 days to prepare for the game like Porto, and they only played one Portuguese Cup final in 20 days. Their physical fitness is indeed better.

Varanesia still has a league game three days before the Champions League final, which is completely incomparable.

For a while, the situation on the court between the two sides was deadlocked.

Even, Porto has temporarily gained the upper hand with their rough and direct style of play.

Although, their style of play caused the game to be interrupted by the whistle many times... the game's spectatorship was greatly reduced.

But Mourinho will not care about this.

Changsheng is very clear about this. Mourinho has never been a head coach who will consider the audience, he only cares about the honor of his team.

※※※ Mourinho is very satisfied with his team's performance after the start of the game.

His team faithfully executed his tactics and contained Valencia.

Although this will increase the chance of getting a card, Mourinho doesn't care.

He was still sitting on the bench.

If a player receives a yellow card and the possibility of further receiving a card is very high, Mourinho will replace him.

After all, players tend to be uncontrollable. This kind of rough style of play will make the players more and more excited. If they don't tighten the reins in time, they will lose control.

At that time, I will be punished a few times, and no matter how good the tactics are, it will be useless.

This is a **** final. The head coaches of both sides participating in the finals were thinking about when to switch in... ※※※ "It's coming again! It's coming again! The referee's whistle sounded again! The game was interrupted again... Look at this game It really made me feel uncomfortable! The emotions that were finally mobilized were interrupted by this whistle! So far, neither of the two teams has been able to play that kind of smooth game and make people pleasing to the eye. Come football!"

The Spanish commentator was protesting Mourinho's style of play.

Because this style of play is really dirty... Deco, as the core of Valencia's midfielder and the hub of power amplifier conversion, has been taken care of by Porto players.

The Porto player responsible for marking Deco is Nuno Maniche.

When this player played at Benfica, he received the guidance of Mourinho. After Mourinho came to Porto, he also followed his mentor to Porto. In the dressing room in Porto, everyone knows that Mourinho is the godfather of Maniche. Maniche is absolutely the only follower of Mourinho, and he will not hesitate to do what Mourinho asks him to do.

So Mourinho gave Maniche the task of dealing with the traitor Deco.

Maniche has not worked with Deco in Porto, but this does not prevent him from seeing Deco as a "traitor" in Porto. Because he betrayed Mourinho.

Betrayed Mourinho, will naturally offend Maniche.

Maniche intends to give this damned traitor some color.

So he hated Deco very much in the game.

In the opening 20 minutes, Deco was violated four times by Maniche, one of which was directly knocked to the ground by Maniche.

When Maniche competed with Deco, he always gritted his teeth, as if he and Deco had a feud against his father.

※※※"This may be the ugliest match I have ever seen... In last year's Champions League final, we could also see the tactical light of the two head coaches, Ancelotti and Lippi. This game has What? Body, muscles and kicks! This is definitely not the Champions League final we want to see!"

"Valencia were trying to get the game into their familiar rhythm, and it was Porto's job to break their rhythm. Now it seems that Porto succeeded, and the game was shattered by constant fouls and timeouts. !"

"UEFA promotes a top-level confrontation between two grassroots teams. But I want to say that this is why some teams can only be grassroots, while some teams are rich. In order to win, they will do everything. It is an insult to football that it completely disregards the characteristics of football itself! This kind of game is the final of the Champions League, which really surprises me... Commentators from other countries are also complaining about this final.

UEFA President Johansson sat on the rostrum, his fat face was not very good-looking.

Johansson is a representative of the wealthy faction in European football. He supports traditional football powers and believes that the commercial value of football is more important. Only the world's number one sport that can make money can maintain this title for a long time.

So this year's Champions League in the world is a surprise for him.

Traditional strong teams such as Milan, Juventus, Manchester United, and Real Madrid fell one after another, and the teams that finally reached the semi-finals were all juniors and grassroots. This reality made him feel embarrassed. The pressure from sponsors and TV broadcasters has made him miserable.

As a last resort, I made a gimmick like "the counterattack of the grassroots team".

He had hoped that the teams led by the two young coaches could stage a passionate drama in the final.

I didn't expect the passion to be enough - the scene was absolutely intense. But it's not exciting at all... If this final continues like this, it can be selected as one of the top ten ugliest finals in the history of the Champions League.

What are these two people doing?

Johansson cursed inwardly.

Thanks to him, he also arranged for UEFA's official website to publish an article introducing them before the match, to give them both a boost.

I didn't expect that they didn't remember their kindness at all!

※※※Chang Sheng standing on the sidelines was very upset, he frowned.

Because the other party's rude actions are still secondary.

The deadliest thing is actually their fouls.

Frequent fouls made Valencia's offense impossible to organize.

Although he let the players use fast pass and fast reverse to pass the football as soon as possible, so as not to let Porto steal the ball.

But he forgot that Porto's way of organizing their offense is not just about breaking the football.

Using frequent fouls to make the referee whistle to suspend the game, even if the football is passed, Valencia is still unable to organize the attack.

The referee of this game is Danish Nelson. Mourinho must have studied the referee. He knows that the referee Nelson is not a coach who likes to play cards. It is also a foul. Some referees will frequently show yellow cards, but Nelson tops They were all verbal warnings, and most of the time he just let the players make free throws.

Therefore, Mourinho was able to use this tactic.

Otherwise, his players would have been sent off within 30 minutes... UEFA probably didn't expect them to choose such a head coach, but instead made Mourinho!

Chang Sheng can only keep putting pressure on the referee from the sidelines.

When Maniche fouled Deco again, Chang Sheng yelled at the referee: "Isn't this fucking a card?!"

The fourth official came up to remind Chang Sheng: "Pay attention to your words, Mr. Chang."

Chang Sheng pointed to the court and asked him: "The opponent's tactics, can the referee just give a verbal warning? If this continues, then this game will slide into a situation that none of you want to see!"

The fourth official is also clearly aware of the problems of the game.

So he explained the situation to the referee through the walkie-talkie and asked him to curb Porto's approach when necessary.

Nelson nodded, turned around and gave Maniche a yellow card.

This is the first yellow card of the game.

Twenty-five minutes into the game, the first yellow card finally appeared.

It's not easy...but this time it's Mourinho's turn.

Isn't it just to put pressure on the referee?

I will too!

He protested to the fourth official: "You can't be influenced by each other! It's not fair!"

The fourth official ignored him.

This matter, if you want to find a balance, you will never be able to find it.

Chang Sheng won the pressure on the referee, so he gave Mourinho a winning smile, then turned and returned to his coach's area.

Mourinho was smoked by Chang Sheng's laughter.

But he did not dare to continue to threaten the fourth official. In that case, he might be invited directly to the stands.

So he had to grit his teeth and return to his coach's bench, and then kept cursing Chang Sheng in his heart.
