Chapter 908: You Have to Listen to Me!
"You guys, too young, too simple Tucson breaks!"
Gao Han's words made the surging conference room quickly calm down, and everyone raised their heads to look at him.
Some people are thoughtful, some people are confused, and they are obviously thinking, why would the manager say that about them?
Could it be that Mourinho stepped on the line and couldn't fight back?
"I know Jose Mourinho as a person, he's the type of stalker, he knows that Real Madrid are not as good as us, so he does everything he can to bring our on-the-field play down to the same level as them, and then he will beat us in every possible way, including lethal fouls. β
Almost everyone present has watched the Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and they can all understand why Real Madrid was able to win in the end.
Yes, from Real Madrid's point of view, it was not easy and difficult for them to win, and even their spirit was admirable, but that did not prevent them from being criticized for the kind of lethal foul tactics they used in the game.
Even Real Madrid's celebrity Di StΓ©fano came forward to angrily denounce Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho as not in line with the tradition of the Galaxy, and suggested that Real Madrid's management should reconsider the head coach.
Weak, worthy of sympathy, but this should not be a reason to do evil.
In the same way, Real Madrid are weaker than Barcelona, and it is indeed not easy to beat the strong with the weak, but this does not mean that they can adopt such a lethal tactic.
"Jose Mourinho deliberately said this before the game, the purpose is very simple, he wants to provoke us, make us lose our cool and sanity, and then step into their traps and traps, and finally on the pitch they will deal with us like they did against Barcelona, and even kill us. β
Gao Han's words calmed down many players in the conference room, and after thinking about it carefully, it does make sense.
Before the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid and Barcelona had a lot of war of words, and the players on both sides were arguing back and forth, which was also very in line with Mourinho's coaching style, so he didn't know how many people he offended in La Liga.
"He knows the media very well, he knows what the media wants, so he gives the media material and makes the media a weapon in his hands, and if we fight back at this time, it will undoubtedly play into his hands. β
Speaking of which, Gao Han has also dissected Mourinho's intentions clearly, and everyone has also understood.
"But, boss, is that what you want to do with him?" asked Vertonghen, standing up indignantly.
"So I said, you too young Tucson is broken. β
Gao Han smiled slightly, "You have to think calmly about everything, you have to know how to analyze the pros and cons, think about it, Mourinho does so many things, for what?"
Without waiting for the players to answer, Gao Han had already given his own answer.
"There's only one answer, he wants to win, everything else is a smokescreen that he deliberately tossed up, so we just need to be clear about that, concentrate all our forces on them, and let him go in vain, which is the strongest and most powerful counterattack against Mourinho. β
Gao Han said this, and said with a proud smile: "The current forbearance is to better sarcastically and sarcastically mock the Bernabeu after winning the game, after the game, I will not prevent any of you from fighting back, but before the game, ......"
Speaking of this, Gao Han's eyes were like torches, staring at every player in front of him, word by word, biting very clearly, and speaking particularly heavy and powerful, "You-you-have-to-listen-me-!"
All the players felt the power of the manager.
Yes, there is no doubt that Gao Han always gives people a very kind feeling on weekdays, and he treats people quite well, but this does not mean that he is a person without majesty, on the contrary, when it comes to the critical moment, he is more imposing than anyone else.
With more than ten years of experience, he is the first person in professional football in the world...... The numerous auras give him a strong and inviolable aura, and Rao, who is the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, has to be soft in front of him.
After Gao Han finished speaking, General Manager Paul Futrey also took the stage to convey the management's opinion.
The Portuguese general manager began with a video of Mansour from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in which the City boss praised the achievements of the players, coaching staff and staff over the past two years, while also encouraging everyone to keep up the good work and try to win the Champions League this season.
"This is the greatest and pinnacle moment in Manchester City's history, we are two steps away from a legend, and if we beat Real Madrid over two legs and beat them in the final, we will all be legends and go down in history. β
Mansour also said in the video that he will take care of the work at hand and will travel to Europe for the next period of time to follow the team in every Champions League game.
"I firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Gao Han, all of you will not disappoint me. β
After Mansour's video of encouragement, Paul Futrey also announced a major decision for management.
The club has decided to double the prize money for the Champions League winners, including the players, coaching staff and employees, in view of the team's satisfactory performance in the Champions League this season.
According to the current reward system formulated by Manchester City before the season, if it is really doubled, it is expected that after winning the championship, each player can receive at least one million pounds in bonuses, which is of course nothing for the deep-pocketed Mansour, but for Manchester City's players, it is undoubtedly quite attractive.
Professional players play football to support their families, and to be able to get honors and get such a generous reward is undoubtedly the best of both worlds, and no player can refuse, so every player is very excited when they hear it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The unbridled provocation from Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has caused huge indignation among the British media and fans.
Therefore, Mourinho's remarks about Gao Han quickly attracted a series of artillery fire, and the Guardian's gold medal reporter Greene Wald even wrote a column accusing Mourinho's words and deeds of being a grandstanding villain.
Before the team left for Madrid, Gao Han patiently answered all the questions of media reporters one by one at a regular press conference, in addition to announcing the team's 18-man squad for the first leg of the Champions League semifinals.
For Mourinho to lead Real Madrid to win the championship, Gao Han congratulated.
'Yes, I watched that game and I have to congratulate Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho on winning the Copa del Rey. β
When asked by the media about Guardiola's accusation that Real Madrid played too rudely in the game, Gao Han said that he would not comment.
"The referee is there to enforce the game, and the referee team will defend the rules on the field, and under the rules, each team can play according to their own ideas, and whether there is a foul or not, it is up to the referee to decide. β
"I would say that from the whole game, Barcelona were better, they had a firm grip on the ball and the tempo, but football is like that, the winning side always makes more sense and the losing side has nothing to say but to accept it. β
"Mr. Gao Han. A reporter raised his hand to ask.
"Mourinho said in an interview with the media on the night of the Copa del Rey that he blamed the referee out of integrity, and you rarely blame the referee, just because you always benefit from the referee's misjudgments, do you have any response?"
Gao Han shook his head, "I've read the report, but I don't have anything to say, everyone has the right to express their own thoughts." β
"Don't you think this is an attack on you?" the reporter asked defiantly.
Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "At least I haven't heard my name appear anywhere from that report, and I never answer any speculative questions. β
All the reporters present immediately understood that Gao Han was determined not to engage in any kind of war of words with Mourinho before the game, and he obviously saw through Mourinho's intentions, so he simply avoided fighting.
So, soon, the media reporters shifted the problem to the game.
"Mr. Gao Han, many people have a high opinion of Real Madrid's victory over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and think that Mourinho's team is very united and impressive, especially after winning the Copa del Rey, the dressing room is very united, the morale of the players is particularly high, everyone is full of confidence, do you think this will have an impact on the next Champions League semi-finals?"
Gao Han was interested in this question, smiled and nodded, and thought about it before answering.
"Yes, you're right, Real Madrid's performance in the Copa del Rey final was really impressive, even unbelievable, and as many have said, this long-lost title will make Real Madrid more confident. β
'But I would say that Real Madrid is always Real Madrid, before the title and after the title, it's no different, and for us at Manchester City, we'd prefer to see a more confident Real Madrid away from home, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for us. β
"Predictably, Real Madrid's morale has been boosted after winning the Copa del Rey and the first leg was at the Bernabeu, and there is no reason for Mourinho to adopt the same defensive tactics as he did in the Copa del Rey final on his home turf, which will make the game more interesting to watch and more interesting. β
Gao Han was so confident and calm, not humble or arrogant, so that all the media reporters present felt his confidence, and even dug a hole for Mourinho, that is, the Copa del Rey has been won, the team's morale has skyrocketed, and the first leg is at the Bernabeu Stadium, what reason do you have to defend strictly?
But in fact, everyone knows that Real Madrid will not have a second choice in the face of Manchester City, even at their home stadium, and Mourinho has only one way to go, and that is to defend and counterattack.
However, it is difficult to guarantee that no Real Madrid fans and management will be affected and instigated by Gao Han's words, which can be regarded as Gao Han's secretly retaliating against Mourinho.
After the press conference, all the media who came to Carrington tried to interview the Manchester City players, but to their surprise, all the Manchester City players either declined to be interviewed by the media or avoided talking about Real Madrid and Mourinho.
But without exception, everyone is confident when it comes to the game.
This also made them all clearly aware that Gao Han had preempted them and had taken precautions.
Now it's time for the Champions League semi-finals in midweek.
But no one expected that in the afternoon of the same day, after Manchester City arrived in Madrid, something happened.
