Gelsenkirchen has quickly been packed with a flock of Manchester United fans and Porto fans in recent days. The temporary population of the entire city suddenly rose to the limit. And given the history of violence by English fans, the number of police patrols in the city is increasing day by day. But for now, the fans of both sides can get along well. Although there were occasional quarrels, they were all minor disputes and did not cause a large-scale confrontation between the two sides.

As time passed, it was finally the day of the race. The number of fans on both sides reached its peak at this moment. Although it was still early to leave the game, there were already many fans who couldn't wait to enter the Schalke Stadium. Before the start of the game, Manchester United and Porto fans were idle, and there was a match between the two sides. Both sides are singing their own team songs, and they both want to overwhelm each other with their loud singing voices, so that their team songs flutter in the sky above the Schalke Stadium. However, neither side can overwhelm anyone, one moment is the Manchester United team song, the other is the Porto team song, the two sides are fighting. It can be said that before the start of the game, Manchester United and Porto fans had already played a set and it was a draw.

At this time, the whole Porto team was sorting out their things and preparing to take the bus to the Schalke Stadium. As the side participating in the Champions League final, they became the focus of the media and fans as soon as they appeared. They flocked to the front, reporters were busy taking photos and interviews, and fans were eager to take pictures with their heroes, shake hands or ask for autographs. In this regard, Mourinho also expected that if he wanted to enter the bus normally at this time. It's sure to take up a lot of time. And this is undoubtedly consuming the warm-up time of Porto and the last time to get acquainted with the venue, so Mourinho has come up with a solution.

On his side is to make the team's staff. Hurriedly arranged for the players to get on the bus, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to stand up for an interview. Attract the attention of most of the staff. It was a successful approach, and given his war of words with Alex Ferguson some time ago, journalists were still a little enthusiastic about him. When the players got on the bus, Mourinho turned his face directly, turned around and walked quickly on the bus, and then the bus door was closed directly. The reporters found out that they were tricked by Mourinho, but they didn't dare to rush on the bus to interview, otherwise it is estimated that the Porto fans on the side can tear them apart.

On the way to the Schalke Stadium, the Porto bus was also escorted by the vehicles of Porto fans along the way. Fans were excited to hold up banners and signs like "3:0 Manchester United" in front of the bus. Others simply lifted the miniature version of the Big Ear Cup aloft it. Looking at the excited Porto fans outside the window, Lao Lei and the other players of Porto were all in a passionate mood. Lao Lei found that there were many teammates, and their bodies were trembling slightly at this time.

At this time, Brito, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, obviously noticed the state of the players, and said to Mourinho on the side: "Jose, it seems that the players are very nervous and excited. Hehe, but no wonder, this is the Champions League final. This time. Don't be nervous, when to be nervous. You're right? ”

To this, Mourinho just replied coldly: "Hmph, what's there to be nervous about." A bunch of guys who haven't seen the world before. However, Mourinho said it himself, but Brito, who was sitting next to him. Mourinho's clenched and trembling fists can be clearly seen. He smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything. He knew that at this time Mourinho was going to keep it like this, and it would be a soldier's courage. At this time, Mourinho must remain calm even if he is nervous. At the very least, it is necessary to maintain a calm appearance.

At this time, in the back row, Maniche also asked Lao Lei the same question. "Are you nervous?" Looking at Maniche's somewhat trembling pupils, Lao Lei naturally knew that this friend was nervous now. "Nervous? Of course I'm nervous! I'm more excited, though. Look outside. It's a real spectacle! A big scene that belongs to us!! Lao Lei replied with a little excitement that he couldn't hide. Listening to Lao Lei's words, Maniche also glanced at the excited Porto fans outside the window, and said in his heart: "Yes, this is a big scene that belongs to us!" Thinking about it, although Maniche was still nervous in his heart, the excitement in his heart at this time had overwhelmed the nervousness.

In the nervous and expectant mood of the whole Porto team, time always passes quickly. The white ensemble of the Schalke Stadium appeared in front of the crowd in Porto. At this time, outside the stadium, it was already crowded with fans who came to watch the game, red and blue and white were distinct, whether they had tickets or did not have tickets. Some people are still holding on to luck at this time, with the slogan of buying tickets at a high price. Obviously, for any loyal fan, not being able to watch the team's Champions League final in person will be a lifelong regret. However, there is no way, due to UEFA's ticket distribution rules, the allocation of tickets to fans of the two teams is really limited. However, at that time, UEFA will also put up a large screen outside the stadium to play the game simultaneously, so that these spectators who do not have tickets can watch the game directly here.

At the same time, in Porto, Manchester, in every football bar and even in every home, TV shows are switched to live broadcasts. These fans, who can't be there to watch the game, will also support their team in front of the TV. However, compared to the giants Manchester United, Porto's off-field support rate is undoubtedly a lot smaller. However, according to Lao Lei's words, if he can make more opposing fans unhappy, the happier he will be.

As the buses of Porto drove in, it was inevitable to bump into some fans along the way. If you are a Manchester United fan, it is natural to give the middle finger to Porto's bus, or to play the banner of Porto's big defeat. And if it is a Porto fan, there is no doubt about cheering and supporting. And there are also staff and police officers who came to maintain order at the scene, and the three parties are mixed together, which is not lively. Due to the large number of fans, it took a while for the Porto bus to successfully enter the stadium. At this time, Manchester United's bus had not yet arrived, and Porto was the first to arrive.

After entering the locker room and changing into jerseys and shoes. Britto hurriedly led everyone to the stadium for a pre-game warm-up and the final familiarization with the arena. By the time the Porto players appeared in the tunnel, cheers and boos followed. In such an atmosphere, the Porto players are somewhat unable to let go, not because of the fans on both sides, but because of the tension in their own hearts. When they stepped onto the turf and thought about the race that would start in the near future, tension rose in their hearts.

Britto also noticed the player's condition, but he couldn't do anything about it. There is no way to avoid such tension. He can only try to get the Porto players fully moving, and when the time comes, he doesn't get injured because he is not fully moving. Soon after, there was another round of cheers and boos at the Schalke Stadium as Manchester United warmed up. Looking at the opposite side, those famous players, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ryan Giggs, Keane, and Lao Lei felt that their blood was already boiling. Of course, there is also a familiar figure of Lao Lei, Ronaldo.

After the warm-up is completed, the players of both sides are called into the dressing room by the assistant coaches, and the managers of both sides will make final pre-match speeches and tactical explanations, and the footsteps of the big game are already about to enter the Schalke stadium. At this time, the fans of both sides and the neutral fans were almost finished. Red and blue and white stood opposite ends of the stadium stands, where huge red jerseys and blue and white jerseys fluttered in the wind like two giant battle flags.

Before the official start of the game, the commentators and commentators were busy introducing the game to the audience in front of the TV. The cameras on the scene are also looking around in the stands for celebrities who came to watch the game, which can be regarded as an appetizer before the game.

"Audience friends, this is the Schalke Stadium. Soon after, the Champions League final of the 03-04 season will officially start here. I sincerely hope here that Porto can get back this Big Ears Cup, and that will be the glory of Portuguese football.

Okay, now let's see what celebrities came to watch the game. This is Reima's family and his girlfriend Kayla. Oh! and Avril, a punk princess who has been very popular in recent years, is probably a friend of Keira Knightley. Well, this is our president's wife. Also, this is Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger, I wonder what he thinks when he sees Manchester United in the Champions League final? I think he will definitely be a Porto supporter in this game, haha! …………“

At this time, in the dressing room of Porto, Mourinho had already made the final tactical explanation. He began to mobilize in front of his own station, and said loudly in a tone of excitement that was difficult to hide in front of the players who were watching him: "Guys! We're finally here. I don't want to explain what kind of game it is, you already know it. I think, guys, you guys are the best players in the world! And I'm honored to work with you. Right now! We have come where we should be! This is destined to be one of the most important races of our lives, or this is the most important game!!

I know that there are some people out there who have always been dismissive of us. They said: 'Look at the poor Porto people, how could they meet Manchester United in the Champions League final, they are pathetic.' I think most of the people out there have that view. I also admit that Manchester United are a tough opponent and very difficult to beat.

But, guys! Don't you think that such an opponent is what we need most?

Don't you think we need such an opponent on such an occasion?

Guys, kill them!

The blood of the Red Devils will be the most attractive color in our crown!!

We're going to step on the Red Devils' head and get to the top of Europe!!

We want to be the king of Europe!!! “

"Oh!!!"

Battle horns, sound! (To be continued......)
