I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 997

Is Mourinho crazy?

This is the focus of reports from major media around the world on the day of the game.

No one thought that Mourinho would announce his starting lineup directly one day in advance.

Is he crazy?

Or is he deliberately releasing smoke bombs?

No one knows why this is, but the major media are studying the authenticity of this list.

Judging from the list, the authenticity is still quite big, because they are basically the players reused by Mourinho, such as Cedou Keita and Yaya Toure, and all the players who should start.

But there is also a problem, that is the lack of left back.

After Abidal started the liver transplant operation, Adriano was Mourinho’s reused left-back, but he didn’t make it into the squad in this game. Who is Mourinho planning to play in this position?

Is Puyol going to make a cameo?

There is indeed such a possibility, because Puyol has not played the position of left-back.

In this way, it makes sense to let Pique and Mascherano partner the central defender in the middle.

Barcelona’s defense line is strong and strong, but weak and weak, the key depends on what kind of opponents they encounter.

Su Dong used to score goals from Barcelona, ​​but now they meet again, everyone is also very curious, can Barcelona’s defense be able to freeze Su Dong?

Before the game, Mourinho suddenly announced the starting lineup in advance. What is his intention?

…………

…………

Manchester City came to Barcelona a day earlier.

I asked the Spaniards to borrow the training ground before, and yesterday went to the Nou Camp for familiar ground training.

After busying for a while, rested for a whole night, and woke up the next day, it was such a wave of heavy news, like a thunderstorm, which blew everyone into disbelief. Who would have thought that there would be such an operation.

Early in the morning, Begiristan, the technical director who led the team to Barcelona, ​​was called to a meeting by Guardiola and other coaching staff. Su Dong also participated, and the content was nothing more than Mourinho’s list.

Contrary to outside speculation, Manchester City are doing their best.

In fact, the team has already deduced Mourinho’s starting lineup, and has produced more than one.

But I have to say that this starting lineup is really unexpected.

This meeting took a full hour before it broke up.

After the meeting, Su Dong walked directly to the hotel meeting room, preparing to participate in the team’s pre-match preparation meeting.

The coaching staff hasn’t arrived yet, and the players are discussing the list enthusiastically in the conference room. They have also received news from newspapers, websites and familiar media, and they also know various analysis reports.

Seeing Su Dong coming in, everyone immediately surrounded him.

…

“Boss, what is Mourinho planning to do?”

“Sue, how true is the list? Could it be Mourinho who pitted us?”

“Without a left back, it doesn’t look real at all.”

“I guess, this is Mourinho’s smoke bomb. This old boy hasn’t learned anything else, but Ferguson has learned a hundred percent.”

“Is it possible that he really played with this lineup?”

“Didn’t you just talk about it? Our winger is not an inverted winger. Let Puyol play the left back. Can he stop Sanchez?”

“Mourinho will never leave us such an obvious loophole.”

“I agree, he must have a conspiracy.”

“I have known Mourinho for so many years, this old boy has never had a good heart.”

The last speaker was Pepe, who obviously didn’t have a cold with Mourinho.

Everyone expressed their opinions every word, but in the end they found that they were all talking, and Su Dong had no chance to speak at all.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent again, looking at Su Dong, waiting for him to speak.

“We just studied for an hour, and finally came to the conclusion that…”

Everyone immediately paid attention.

Su Dong grinned, “We don’t know either.”

Everyone was disappointed, this is the answer?

“Actually, it is estimated that apart from Mourinho and the Barcelona coaching staff, no one knows whether this list is true or false, and no one has stipulated that Mourinho must use this list to arrange the starting lineup. ?”

Everyone pondered, it was indeed such a truth.

This is where everyone disputes.

“This list is a bit short of our previous deductions, but in general it is very close. What does he want to do when he releases it? Tell us what he thinks? Or does he want to distract us? Or want us to go. Guess what he is thinking? Another possibility is to make us think too much and get confused.”

Everyone was stunned for a while, as if it really was.

This list is okay to bluff the media and fans outside. For Manchester City, how useful it is is really a mystery.

This alone makes people question Mourinho’s intentions.

Of course, Manchester City has deduced several starting lists for Barcelona, ​​but none of them are the same as the one announced by Mourinho, so if you say it’s useless, it’s not all, it’s just that the usefulness is very limited.

At this point in the game, it is impossible for Manchester City to change their tactics specifically to target Barcelona.

If you really want to say that, it may not be worth the loss.

“You mean, we don’t look at this list?” Sabaletta asked with concern.

Su Dong shook his head, “Just take a look, there is no need to take it seriously.”

Seeing the puzzled eyes of his teammates, Su Dong smiled and said: “No matter what Mourinho’s intentions are for releasing this list, or even what Barcelona’s plan to make, what kind of tactics, it’s for us. Say, the process and the result are the same, we will use our best way to defeat the opponent.”

“We have always been like this. We don’t think about the opponent’s ideas, tactics and attitudes. We only care about ourselves, because as long as we do well and good enough, no team can stop us.”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. This is indeed the attitude that Manchester City has always insisted on in the past two seasons, even since Guardiola’s coaching.

The only difference is that in Guardiola’s first season of coaching, the results were indeed a bit bad, but after Su Dong joined, Manchester City’s results have improved by leaps and bounds, and now they have become Europe’s top strong team.

“Instead of blindly guessing the opponent’s intentions, it is better to concentrate on doing our things well and think about how to play better and better in the game. This is what we should think about now.”

Is it useful for Mourinho to announce this list in advance?

Su Dong can’t say that he didn’t have it at all.

For example, Guardiola.

The Manchester City coach is famous [Mr. George].

What do you mean?

George, tangled.

Guardiola is so entangled, he has even reached the point where he likes to be horny. He is the kind of person who likes to figure out everything and think through all the possibilities before the game.

The more such a person, the easier it is to make some unexpected and unbelievable decisions before a major game, and the easier it is to be influenced and interfered by the opponent’s strategy.

Why do you have a meeting early in the morning?

Because Guardiola didn’t sleep much last night, he was struggling with this problem.

To a certain extent, this personality created Guardiola today, but it also made him easily stunned.

At the meeting just now, Sudong and Begiristan were very persuasive, they were really afraid that he would change on the spot.

Judging from the current Barcelona starting lineup, Mourinho is likely to be on the defensive.

This is not hard to guess, because Mourinho was obviously conservative in the European Super Cup defeat, especially during the game. With his character, he is likely to adopt a defensive position and then use a quick counterattack to attack Manchester City.

If he wins, then he can exhale.

Another point is that he may not be very confident in the team’s defense, especially when playing against Manchester City.

With Barcelona taking a defensive situation, Manchester City should insist on their own play.

…

Guardiola walked into the meeting room, accompanied by Bergeristan, Torrent, Estiate and others.

He still has a solemn appearance, and everyone has become accustomed to his expression.

He is serious about football!

Guardiola first discussed with everyone the starting lineup announced by Mourinho, which was similar to what Su Dong just said. Obviously, in the one-hour meeting, he was persuaded by Su Dong and others and decided Stick to your own style of play.

In the subsequent targeted tactical arrangements, Guardiola did not make new arrangements, but only paid more attention to the two side lanes and increased offensive firepower if necessary.

As the player said just now, if Puyol is allowed to play the left back, then Sanchez will have an advantage on the right.

As the name suggests, Puyol is a right-footed player. If he plays on the left, he mainly defends the inverted winger and has the advantage. However, Sanchez is a right-footed player who can forcefully break through the bottom or penetrate from the bottom line, which makes Puyol. Very disadvantaged.

“There is also a possibility that Cedou Keita, he is a left-footed player. Mourinho often uses him to play the left side of the midfield and he has also played as a left-back. If he is allowed to play the left-back, the possibility is still quite good. Big one.” Guardiola put forward his own guess.

This guess is also very likely.

Only in this way, Mourinho’s midfield arrangement will be more conservative~www.mtlnovel.com~ Mascherano will be pushed to the midfield as a delay, Yaya Touré and Xavi will be liberated come out.

Iniesta, Fabregas and Messi form the front court trident.

There is such a possibility, and it is not small.

Guardiola emphasized that no matter how the opponent will adjust and arrange in the game, Manchester City’s tactics remain basically unchanged, or according to the original plan, the offensive routines are basically the most familiar to Manchester City.

This is mainly because the team’s schedule is too intensive. There is no time for Manchester City to carry out targeted tactical exercises for the consecutive week of double matches. They can only adopt the usual offensive routines that everyone is familiar with.

Sometimes, the old routines seem very clichéd and clichéd, but the problem is that it works and everything works.

Because some things are unique to Manchester City, opponents can’t help it.

For example, Su Dong.
