Chapter 153: Want a championship? Come to Porto!

After defeating Setubal 3-0 at home, Mourinho soon received news from Lisbon.

The Green Lions lost a goal in the first half, and in the second half, with Pepe and Albertini's goals, they reversed Guimarães two to one and continued to hold onto Porto in the standings.

This made Mourinho feel the pressure.

He believed that the players on the team felt the same.

"This Sporting Lisbon is really difficult!"

After returning to the training base, Mourinho disbanded the team, but the coaching staff stayed for the meeting.

is the second round of the UEFA Cup semi-final in the middle of the week, leaving Porto running out of time to prepare.

Mourinho feels a headache for Sporting Lisbon, because this team is like a dog-skin plaster this season. It has been close and long, but it has been chasing Porto, shrinking from the original seven points to the current one.

The pressure is really great.

Especially considering that there are only six rounds left in the Portuguese Super League.

A little carelessness, the car may overturn at any time.

"In fact, the main reason is that Guimarães himself was unworthy and missed so many scoring opportunities. Nicolet really didn't have much threat in this game. In his state, he still wants to compete with Su Dong?" Boas Angry and annoyed.

Originally, Guimarães had a chance, but this team did not grasp it.

"The away game factor is also very important. Guimarães is currently ranked fourth in the Portuguese Super League. He has no problem with his strength and is not in good condition." Faria also felt very pity that it was a good opportunity to widen the gap.

The decisive battle in the UEFA Cup semi-finals is imminent. If Sporting Lisbon is opened at this time, it will be a considerable advantage for Porto. On the contrary, Sporting Lisbon, the blow will be very painful.

"That's why I look down on Boloni."

Mourinho put his left hand in his pocket, and his right hand pointed at the table with mighty and domineering, quite a bit of instructing and beating Fang Qiu's spirit, people can also feel his inner self-confidence at this moment.

"This game of Sporting Lisbon is actually very dangerous to win. Everyone can see its importance, but Bologna chose Nicoule instead of Soto. This is problematic, especially when replacing players. He still didn't replace Nicolai, but Su Dong, which is a bit unclear."

When Mourinho said this, he hummed twice, "Look, wait and see, now Sporting Lisbon can still maintain the superficial harmony, because the game did not give them time for infighting and waited until the end of the season. Su Dong and Boloni must go one."

Everyone also agrees with Mourinho's point of view.

Whoever changed it, couldn't bear being used like this by Boloni.

Eighteen goals in the league and eight in the UEFA Cup. This record is comparable to Jarder last season.

What's the result?

If Bologna’s trusted Nicolai is worthy of belief and performs well, then there is nothing wrong with it. It’s appropriate to rotate.

Ko Nikulai just couldn't support the wall.

In this way, continue to trust unconditionally?

This is nepotism!

"José, have you notified the management?" Brito asked with a sudden smile.

Everyone also followed and laughed.

Mourinho wants to introduce Su Dong, this is not a secret in the Porto coaching staff, even many players know.

For example, Deco, he said more than once, when he came to Porto, Su Dong could play a bigger role.

There is also Carvalho, he once said, welcoming Su Dong to Porto.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}   A player who has the ability, never need to worry about not playing.

For today's Su Dong, leaving Sporting Lisbon, he will usher in a broader stage.

"I have already told the chairman, it is estimated that there is an operation." Mourinho laughed.

"You still have to talk to Mendes." Brito suggested.

Mourinho also formally transferred to Mendes not long ago. The Portuguese agent will be the full agent of Mourinho’s contract negotiations and other matters. At the same time, he is also working hard to find opportunities for Mourinho to coach in the four major leagues.

Players need an agent, and so does the head coach.

"He treats Su Dong as a treasure, and his status is higher than ours." Mourinho was a little helpless.

Everyone was surprised, "Higher than Quaresma, Ronnie, or even our Deco?"

Deco, also a player signed by Mendes.

In just two years, this Portuguese agent has completely shown the momentum to replace Vega.

"I heard that Su Dong's commercial value is very high."

"How is this possible?" Everyone was surprised.

An 18-year-old, just fledgling boy, how high can the commercial value be?

"It is said that this kid has signed eight commercial sponsorships in just one year. Without exception, they are all major multinational brands. Among them are top brands such as Nike and Pepsi. Mendes is unwilling to disclose specific numbers, just saying The total amount exceeds six million euros."

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Six million euros?

This is definitely an astronomical figure, especially in the Portuguese Super League.

There are even many Portuguese Super League teams whose annual commercial sponsorship income is less than 3 million euros, including shirt sponsorship and chest advertising income.

"Oh my god, although this kid is handsome, but he is not?" Boas was shocked.

"There are more than one billion people in China. Among Asian players, he is now the most popular." Mourinho pointed out the key point.

Everyone suddenly realized.

"The chairman also attaches great importance to Su Dong. If he can be recruited, he can expand his influence in the Asian region. Porto is not the kind of counsel of Sporting Lisbon." Mourinho sneered somewhat.

Porto aims to do a big job in Europe, and also has certain overseas expansion plans, but Sporting Lisbon is relatively more conservative, which leads them to focus more on Portugal.

Mourinho still admires the player of Sudong, and as long as Porto wants it, it is difficult for Sporting Lisbon to refuse a shot, because so far, no other four major league teams have shot for Sudong. .

This is also normal, because Su Dong is too young, only eighteen years old.

It is estimated that he is not willing to go to the middle and lower teams of the four major leagues. The upstream teams will be more cautious in signing in. I hope that Su Dong will play in the Portuguese Super League for another year or two. If it is more mature and then operate, the transfer fee will be relatively relative. It will be higher, but more secure.

There is no one whose money comes from a strong wind. The risk of signing in is very high, and the risk of introducing young players is even greater.

"Don't care how much money he makes, we still have to care about the midweek game."

Mourinho reached out to stop the gossip of the assistants, and began to pay more attention to the next round of the UEFA Cup.

"Su Dong still has to continue to pay attention. His header and right foot must be restricted to me. Just like the first round, don't give him any chance. This kid is very aggressive. Now he has frustrated him. It's a real turnaround. The team is better to bring."

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}   At the end, Mourinho couldn't help but laugh.

Su Dong, he is determined to win the UEFA Cup finals, and he is also in possession of the winning ticket.

He is fully prepared, not only to play the defense in the first leg, but also to strengthen the team's offense and score goals at the Alvalade Stadium.

An away goal can kill Sporting Lisbon!

…………

…………

"Sporting Lisbon is a strong team, but I am confident that the team going to Seville must be Porto!"

Before the game, at a press conference announcing the roster of the game, Porto coach Mourinho said confidently.

Mourinho also focused on the first leg of the home game, thinking that the team's state was not ideal at the time, but it has now been adjusted. The 3-0 home defeat to Setubal is the best evidence.

"In fact, for some time in the past, we have been working hard to improve our offense. We played quite well against Setubal. This is a positive sign."

"Although it is an away game, we will still adopt more aggressive tactics. We hope to present a more exciting matchup to the fans."

"Trust me, we will let everyone see the strongest Porto this season!"

Mourinho's self-confidence has infected the Porto players, and many people have come forward to express their confidence in participating in the finals.

Midfielder Deco said in an interview with the media that Sporting Lisbon is a very good team with some very good players, but the team that wins in the end will definitely be Porto.

"We are confident of scoring more than two goals in the away game!" Deco said very confidently.

As a central defender, Carvalho was the hero who froze Su Dong in the first round. After the game, he received praise from the coach and the media. UU reading is now the second round, and he also expressed that he is full of expectations.

"There is no doubt that Su Dong is a very powerful and very potential rookie. He has scored a few goals in the face of Porto, but the first round of the game showed us that he is not omnipotent. ."

"We found a way to restrain Su Dong, and in the next ninety minutes of the game, he will continue to accomplish nothing!"

Finally, Carvalho did not forget to use a joking tone to pass on to Su Dong, "If you want a championship, then come to Porto!"

The veteran Jorge Costa was relatively cautious. He recognized Su Dong’s threat, but he also expressed confidence.

"We won't give him a chance. He will run into a wall like the first round."

Offensive players such as Delle and Jan Koskas are confidently trying to break the goal of Sporting Lisbon, while Ferreira and Valente are trying to block Ronny and Quaresma, as well as Mani. The midfielders like Che and Costinha...

Before the war, Porto looked very confident.

They have the advantage in strength, and they did not have a good way to prevent Sporting Lisbon’s offense in the first round. This made Porto’s winning rate in the second round even more optimistic.

Portugal’s domestic media is basically divided into two camps, either supporting Sporting Lisbon, but with a small number of people, or supporting Porto, which is an overwhelming majority.

Mourinho’s team wins in strength and is stable enough.

But there are also a few media believe that Sporting Lisbon still has a chance to kill Porto and go to Seville.
