Chapter 291 If you come over here again, I will call the police!
It’s time to take a rest after lunch.
The afternoon plan is a press conference, afternoon tea and the last training session.
Originally, in addition to the head coach, UEFA also hoped that Valencia could arrange for several players to attend the press conference, and Su Dong was specifically mentioned, but Benítez still did not arrange for Su Dong to be interviewed by media reporters before the final.
The reason is that all players need to focus on preparation before the final.
At the press conference, Benítez said that facing a team like Porto, scoring first would be the key to the game.
“We will try to dominate the game and if we can’t do that, we will try to control it.”
This was also interpreted by the media as Valencia will adopt a more proactive tactic based on its strength advantage.
While Benítez was attending the press conference, Su Dong took a leave of absence to attend an online negotiation meeting hosted by BMW held in the hotel's multi-purpose hall. Many media were also present at the event, which was also being broadcast live online.
There is not much to say about the event itself. It went smoothly. The process and precautions had been repeatedly emphasized in the plan that Wang Chuqing had submitted to Su Dong, so there were no problems.
On the contrary, after the negotiation meeting ended and before Su Dong left, he saw his parents and Ma Dawei in the crowd.
This surprised him a little, especially the ambiguous looks from his parents. He couldn't help but look at the graceful Wang Chuqing standing next to him, and shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile.
It's a pity that my parents don't become spies! ...
After dinner, Benítez held the most important meeting.
He announced tonight's starting lineup and used a projector to explain his carefully prepared battle plan to all participating players, including some targeted tactics and game details.
The goalkeeper is Cañizares, the defense line is Carboni, Marchena, Ayala and Curro Torres, the double defensive midfielders are Albelda and Baraja, the frontcourt is Vicente, Aimar and Rufete, and the single striker is Sudon.
There is basically no objection to this starting lineup because this is Valencia's strongest lineup this season.
The more controversial position is the central defender. Marchena is indeed not stable enough, but his physical strength still has certain advantages, and he is young.
"We have been preparing for this match over the past few days, as have Porto."
"We know Porto as well as we know ourselves and I believe that the same is true for Porto."
"Today, I believe all of you know clearly what you should do on the court and what to do when you encounter problems. I don't need to say more. I want to emphasize one more point: we must strive to score first!"
"Restrict Deco and don't give him freedom. This is the best way to curb Porto's attack!"
Albelda and Baraja both nodded repeatedly.
As the best performing double defensive midfielder in European football this season, their defensive task tonight is to freeze Deco.
"I want to tell everyone that the finals are for winning!"
"If we can't win, then there's no point in us getting to the finals!"
If Benítez's mobilization is more from a technical and tactical perspective, from a calm and rational perspective, then Jesterdam resonates with the players from an emotional perspective, which has always been his advantage.
He always speaks to the hearts of Valencia players.
“No matter how many years pass, we will never forget tonight and everything that happened here!”
"The emotions we put into this, the passion we aroused, every scene in the training and the game, will always remain in our life memories and will never, ever be forgotten!"
"I believe that none of us would like to live our lives with the bad memories of being a loser, because that would be a disaster and a tragedy."
"We should fight for the good memories we will have in the future! We should fight as if we were in a desperate situation and be full of strength! Try to win this game!"
"Bring the Champions League trophy back to Valencia!"
…
Until the moment he was about to walk out of the locker room, Su Dong was still immersed in the words of Benítez and Jestedan.
We have to admit that Benítez's calmness and rationality are reassuring, and Jestedam's encouragement is exciting.
A group of people walked out of the locker room one after another. Everyone hugged Benítez and Jestedan who were standing at the door, accepting their encouragement and praise. Even Benítez, who was always reluctant to praise the players, said a lot tonight.
The referee was Nielsen from Denmark. He was standing at the entrance of the player's tunnel holding a football.
Players from Valencia and Porto arrived one after another.
Although both teams are from the Iberian Peninsula, they are relatively unfamiliar with each other.
Porto's starting lineup tonight was not surprising.
The goalkeeper is Baia, the defense is Valente, Jorge Costa, Carvalho and Ferreira, the three defensive midfielders are Mendes, Costinha and Maniche, the attacking midfielder is Deco, and the two forwards are the Brazilian combination of Dellei and Carlos Alberto.
Center forward McKenzie was placed on the bench by Mourinho.
This is somewhat surprising.
In the second leg against Deportivo La Coruna, McKenzie was placed on the bench, and Porto narrowly beat Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 in that match. It is estimated that Mourinho also wanted to continue the team's performance and let Dellei and Alberto continue to partner up to form a Brazilian double striker.
Sudong made his debut at Sporting Lisbon and is familiar with many of the current Porto players, especially Deco.
Because of Pepe, the relationship between the two is very good, and Deco seemed very happy when he saw Su Dong.
But Carvalho and Jorge Costa were clearly in a bad mood.
These two central defenders have suffered a lot from Su Dong. Every time they see Su Dong, they seem to be in big trouble. This is even more troublesome than facing Van Nistelrooy of Manchester United.
Su Dong was in a good mood and greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Ricardo." Su Dong said with a smile.
Carvalho had a bitter face and replied indifferently, but his expression seemed to say: I'm not happy to see you, please, stay away from me!
Don't come over here, or I'll call the police! "I heard that after the game tonight, you're all going to transfer to the Premier League?" Su Dong suddenly asked.
Although Su Dong and they have the same agent, Mendes would not disclose such private information. Even if he did, Su Dong would not bring it up at this time.
Porto coach and players transferred to Premier League Chelsea, this was the explosive news revealed by the British media.
Mourinho will coach Chelsea and he specifically mentioned Carvalho, Ferreira and Deco as players he wants to sign.
Carvalho glared at Su Dong unhappily, as if to say: Little guy, with the little skills you have, do you plan to use them to disrupt our military morale?
"I heard that you are also going to transfer to Real Madrid?" Carvalho asked back.
Su Dong laughed, "It seems there is such news, do you want to go too?"
Carvalho was speechless. Damn it, could you please not talk about the transfer to a big club as if you were going to treat me to a meal at a restaurant? "By the way, Ricardo, I've been practicing free kicks recently. You better stop fouling me, otherwise..." Su Dong snorted twice and laughed very cunningly.
Carvalho felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but think of his headers and left foot when he met Su Dong several times before.
What the hell, after the header and left foot, does he want to add a free kick as well?
I have indeed seen in the news that after Su Dong finished his training session every day, he would practice free kicks.
Could it be true? "The game hasn't even started yet, how do you know we're going to foul you?" Carvalho was full of doubts, but he said it with a firm tone.
"Ha, other than fouling, what other ways do you have to stop me?" Su Dong seemed heroic.
Carvalho was suddenly speechless.
Really!
It seemed like he was defeated every time he met Su Dong.
This damn guy seemed like his nemesis.
Sometimes Carvalho couldn’t help but ask himself: Is this guy the hero of the novel?
Otherwise, why would God create him to be so awesome?
…
"Why did you tell him so much?"
As they followed the referee Nelson out of the player tunnel, Aimar, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Guess?" Su Dong asked back with a grin.
Aimar snorted in annoyance. "Isn't it just a psychological tactic? Will he be fooled so easily?"
Su Dong smiled and didn't answer.
Will Carvalho be fooled?
That's not his concern.
He does want to play mind games because in the past few duels, he has had the upper hand over Carvalho, which has turned into a psychological advantage, and he wants to take advantage of it.
It would be best if this guy who is about to transfer to Chelsea in the Premier League could be tortured and suffer psychological trauma! It would be even better if Carvalho's legs would become weak every time he met Su Dong in the future!
"You should focus more on how to return to your Planet Vegeta, my Prince!" Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hands, bending Aimar's body back.
…
Mourinho stood on the sidelines worriedly, and happened to see the interaction between Su Dong and Aimar, which made him even more worried.
Previously at Sporting Lisbon, Sudong’s teammates were Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma, both from the wing, but Sporting Lisbon had no strong players in the middle.
But in Valencia, there is Vicente on the wing and Aimar in the middle. Vicente is in very good form this season and can be said to have created the best performance in his career. This has caused Porto a lot of trouble.
Ferreira can freeze Manchester United's Giggs, can he stop Vicente?
There is also a central midfielder and a central defender.
The combination of Sudon, Vicente and Aimar will be the most threatening offensive combination to Porto tonight, especially Sudon.
It can be said that he is the most threatening offensive point in the Valencia team.
How to contain Su Dong made Mourinho rack his brains before the game, but the final result was that he could only defend, but he was not sure whether he could do it!
Mourinho really doesn't like this feeling of being out of control, but he can't do anything about it.
