Chapter 467: The Battle of the Bernabeu
In fact, for Mourinho suddenly talking about Yang Fan, Mourinho's assistant, Real Madrid assistant coach Karanka is a little incomprehensible, he feels that Mourinho does not need to cause trouble for himself, and according to Karanka's understanding, Mourinho's move to provoke Yang Fan this time, even Real Madrid President Florentino, who has always supported Mourinho, is not very satisfied, in Florentino's view, a star like Yang Fan has always been the goal of Real Madrid, the kind of star that Real Madrid needs, and Real Madrid should not have a holiday with such a top star.
Mourinho was grateful for Karanka's concerns, but he insisted that this was Mourinho's strategy, and in Mourinho's view, his plan went well, and he paid the price of his own infamy and hate, and then managed to anger Manchester City's core star Yang Fan.
Everyone knows that Yang Fan is the core and pillar of Manchester City, with him on the field, Manchester City's attack has direction and strategy, with him on the field, Manchester City will increase its combat effectiveness several times, and even in difficult situations, it can turn defeat into victory, on the contrary, once Yang Fan is suspended or does not play well, Manchester City will be in trouble!
Therefore, Mourinho's purpose is very direct and simple, which is to provoke Yang Fan, and Yang Fan is provoked. would lose the coolness that a team's leader requires, and in that case City's threat would be lowered by at least a notch......
If you look at it purely from this incident, a coach like Mourinho must be difficult to get along with, and the relationship with his players will not be good, but, in fact, on the contrary, Mourinho is a coach with a lot of personal charisma.
Speaking of Mourinho's personal charm, a British media in the Chelsea era once said that professors like Mourinho can be seen in higher education institutions, they are the idols of young students, girls are jealous of him, and boys are willing to fight for them. Or even: Mourinho's followers are even willing to die for him. Nearly two months after Benitez took over Inter Milan, Inter was still Mourinho's team, and Sneijder, the core of the midfield, said many times: "I am willing to die for him." "I still feel like he's in my life. 'Obviously Mourinho has left a deep imprint on his life.
Sneijder is not the only one, he has many confidants at Inter. Zanetti said Jose Mourinho was "the best coach in the world" and Materazzi tearfully said as the boss left: "I feel like there will never be a teacher in the world from now on." "The characters on this list are too long and too long. Eto'o said of switching from centre-forward to winger in 2o1o: "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have played as a winger...... At Camp Nou we were 1o and I almost went back to goalkeeper and I would have liked to do that. This striker is willing to be a goalkeeper, and the other is willing to kick a broken leg: "I am even willing to break a leg on the pitch for him." Drogba's pledge of allegiance was later said by Sneijder.
Mourinho relies on his unique observation skills to tap into the potential of players who are not aware of it, and can be deeply appreciated by a person, and the feeling of knowing that the kindness is difficult to repay, it is difficult for those who have not experienced it firsthand.
So, in fact, Jose Mourinho is a coach who can win the respect and trust of his players, and in the teams he has led, after he left, the players generally missed him and said good things about him.
And Mourinho fired at Yang Fan this time for only one reason, and that was for victory! Mourinho is a victorious person, this is a paranoid, extremely hungry for victory, in order to win can do anything, Mourinho is alert to the energy of Manchester City, he is very vigilant, and in order to successfully defeat Manchester City, Mourinho feels that he has found a way, that is, to provoke Yang Fan, so that Manchester City's flag loses its cool, which is equivalent to destroying half of the Manchester City team, he thinks this method is good, and began to implement it, as for the consequences that will be caused by this, Mourinho didn't think about it at all, or he didn't care.
In addition, there is another point, that is, there has always been a quarrel about who is better Cristiano Ronaldo or Yang Fan, and now Cristiano Ronaldo is Mourinho's player, and Mourinho, who protects the calf, naturally chooses to stand on Cristiano Ronaldo's side and support Cristiano Ronaldo. He said this to surely win the favor of Cristiano Ronaldo, who would be even more desperate for Mourinho. As for Mourinho who also admired Yang Fan before, don't mention it for the time being, Mourinho will always be good to his own players. Cristiano Ronaldo is now his player, Yang Fan is not, and that's the fundamental difference.
The smell of gunpowder before the game is getting stronger and stronger, and in such a situation, Real Madrid's home match against Manchester City is coming soon.
When the players from both sides came out of the dressing room, there were broadcast cameras.
In the player's tunnel, Real Madrid captain Casillas still shook hands with Manchester City captain Yang Fan very friendly, and then Casillas smiled, and Yang Fan also smiled in response, but, I don't know if it's an illusion, at this moment, Casillas didn't feel the warmth in Yang Fan's smile, he felt that the smile was cold.
"What a headache. Casillas said in his heart that he didn't understand the behavior of head coach Jose Mourinho to provoke Yang Fan, Casillas has his own philosophy as a goalkeeper, and he thinks it's not a good idea to provoke a player of Yang Fan's caliber before the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo glanced at Yang Fan, his eyes fell on the captain's armband on Yang Fan's arm, watching Yang Fan wear the captain's armband and stand at the forefront of the Manchester City team, for some reason, the proud Portugal has a mood called unhappiness and jealousy in his heart.
The camera gave Cristiano Ronaldo and Yang Fan close-ups, in the player's corridor, the two did not have any verbal communication, and both of them had serious expressions.
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was buzzing with people, and it was getting louder.
The referee signaled to the two captains to get ready to enter the field.
Casillas didn't speak, just raised his arms and strode forward, and the Real Madrid players behind him immediately followed.
On Manchester City's side, Yang Fan, their young captain turned around and slapped his hands hard and shouted to his teammates behind him: "Guys, let's go!"
The 100,000-seat Bernabeu Stadium was packed, and the sound in the stands was suffocating.
Yang Fan held his chest high and led his team to appear in the eyes of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
The battle of the Bernabeu is the beginning of a real battle in the Champions League and on the territory of the top giants after Yang Fan came to Manchester City.
