It's 0-3 again!

The post-match press conference at the Bernabeu was a one-man show for Mourinho.

The Portuguese have been the target of public criticism, and in the face of media inquiries and even accusations, Mourinho has repeatedly said that his team has done their best, everyone has shown great effort, and he has no reason to blame them.

"That's what football is all about, we did our best but the opponent played higher, even the highest level of football, so we looked terrible in comparison, but that shouldn't be a reason to blame us, should it?"

As for the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City over two legs, Mourinho said: "It's a loss, but it's definitely not humiliating. ”

Mourinho also held the same remarks.

When answering questions from media reporters, Gao Han also repeatedly said that it was not easy for the team to win at the Bernabeu.

'It was a very brave game for Real Madrid, I could feel their determination and fighting spirit, they came into the game with a lot of mental strength, which put a lot of pressure on us, but I am very fortunate that we have a good group of players who can withstand the pressure. ”

For the team's victory, Gao Han said that this is a great joy, to be able to qualify for the Champions League group stage, is the best Christmas gift for all Manchester City fans.

'I'm very happy that my team was able to live up to expectations and bring joy to all the fans before Christmas, we stuck to our style and got a near-perfect result, I'm immensely proud to finish the Champions League group stage in this way, but we still need to work hard. ”

Jose Mourinho was quick to continue answering questions from the media, reiterating that it was just a group game.

'I would say that this game doesn't affect or even change anything, we've gotten out of the group stage and we're going to be in the last 16 of the Champions League, that's the challenge for us. ”

"A game of strength doesn't say anything at all, because we still have a long way to go, we still need to keep working hard, as for who will have the last laugh, who knows?"

Mourinho also said he has a lot of confidence in the team and the players.

'Of course it's regrettable and even frustrating to lose, but it's not a problem at all, we can get back on our feet and we need to be more committed and more focused. ”

'Yes, there are so many players in the team, different personalities, different experiences, different ways of dealing with difficulties, and of course everyone will be ecstatic to win, but we have to learn to keep the fighting spirit and the ambition to win after the loss, train hard and concentrate on the game. ”

Gao Han also replied in the subsequent question, "This is just a very ordinary game, it will not affect the situation and the overall situation, the difference in strength between our two teams is not as obvious as the score shows, our opponent is not weak, despite the loss, Real Madrid is still the top team in today's football." ”

As for the game itself, Gao Han said that what he was most satisfied with was not the score, but the way to win.

"We tried to try to be more diverse and diversify our tactical thinking, and I think that was very well cited in the game and it was quite effective, which is what I am most satisfied with. ”

At the post-match press conference, although Mourinho lost, he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he lost his previous high-profile and became more restrained, but he gave people an impression of unconvincing and resilient, which is also very in line with his consistent character.

Gao Han maintained the gentlemanly demeanor of a victor and did not fall into the ground at all.

The two looked very amicable at the press conference, and they gave each other enough faces, but after the press conference ended, after the two left the venue at the same time, Gao Han suddenly asked Mourinho a question curiously.

"I'm curious, why did you play this game?"

Mourinho stopped, hesitated for two or three seconds, and then turned his head to look at Gao Han, and smiled incomprehensibly, "Guess." ”

I guess?

Gao Han looked at the back of Mourinho's departure, full of doubts in his heart, but he felt quite funny.

Is this an indirect affirmation of a conspiracy theory in one's own mind?

Or did he lose and didn't want to defend himself at all?

Still is...... Are there all sorts of reasons?

…………

With Manchester City beating Real Madrid 3-0 away, the Champions League group stage has officially come to an end.

After months of intense competition, the eight groups also decided the rankings.

Manchester City and Real Madrid both qualified together, but AC Milan were not in such a good position, with the Rossoneri losing 2-0 at home to Ajax in the final round, with Suarez putting in an impressive performance with a single pass and a shot.

The Uruguayan striker, who had just been banned from the Netherlands after a Vampire Bite game, made the final redemption in this Champions League group stage, helping Ajax to reverse AC Milan and qualify for the Europa League.

The hapless Rossoneri were knocked out of European competitions, causing shock throughout Italian football.

In addition to this big upset, another big upset in the Champions League group stage is the Gunners Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger's side were impressive, beating Braga 6-0, Partizan Belgrade 3-1 and Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1, with the Gunners invincible in the first three rounds.

However, when they challenged Shakhtar Donetsk away in the fourth round, Arsenal lost 1-2 away, and then lost 0-2 to Braga in the fifth round, ushering in two consecutive defeats and ceding the top spot in the group to Shakhtar Donetsk.

In the final round, Arsenal beat Partizan Belgrade 3-1 at home, but Shakhtar Donetsk also beat Braga 2-0 at home, and in the end, it was the Ukrainian side who finished top of the group, and Arsenal only finished second in the group.

One Real Madrid, one Arsenal, the two second-placed teams in the group are a headache, and the draw for the upcoming Champions League last-16 knockout round is full of suspense, and no one wants to meet these two fierce rivals so early.

However, one is from the same country and the other is in the same group, and Arsenal and Real Madrid have no impact on Manchester City, who have qualified for the top of the group.

Whether it is Valencia, Roma, Werder Bremen, Lyon, Marseille, or even Copenhagen, Gao Han is confident enough to win the opponent, so he does not take the draw to heart.

But what really surprised Gao Han was that on the weekend of the sixth round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid played Barcelona away, and as a result, Mourinho's side lost a 0-5 at the Camp Nou, ending in a complete defeat.

The defeat of this derby of the century caused a great sensation in the world, not only completely diluting the shadow caused by the previous 0-3 loss to Manchester City, but also making Mourinho's whole person roasted on the fire.

Some Spanish media even immediately asserted that Mourinho was likely to fire the squid.

When Gao Han, who was far away in Manchester, received the news, the whole person was stunned.

Real Madrid faced Barcelona, and the loss was relatively acceptable, after all, there was nothing to say if the skills were not as good as others, but it would be a bit outrageous to lose five goals, and Mourinho looked helpless throughout the game and was powerless to prevent the team from losing miserably.

After the game, almost the whole of Spain attacked Mourinho.

Losing to Manchester City and then Barcelona, losing eight goals in two games and scoring zero goals, which is absolutely unacceptable.

But Mourinho was as tough as ever in an interview with the media, saying that the team's loss was not the end of the world.

Just when everyone thought that Mourinho would at least peel off his skin even if he didn't die this time, Real Madrid President Florentino publicly expressed his support for coach Mourinho in an interview with the media, and promised all Real Madrid fans that the team would transfer during the winter break to bring in reinforcements to improve the team's strength.

As soon as Florentino's interview was revealed, it immediately caused a huge response throughout Spanish football.

No one expected that Mourinho's position was not affected, but his status within the team was actually improved, and Florentino gave him great trust and support, which is simply unbelievable.

According to Real Madrid's mouthpiece, Real Madrid will bring in midfielders during the winter break, including Roma's De Rossi, Porto's Moutinho, Juventus' Felipe Melo, Hoffenheim's Gustavo and Bayern Munich's Schweinsteiger, etc., which are Real Madrid's long-rumored targets.

At the same time, the newspaper also revealed that Real Madrid still did not give up the pursuit of Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.

Among Real Madrid's many goals, De Rossi is the midfielder that Florentino has always wanted, but Roma's attitude is very tough, and De Rossi himself has no intention of asking to leave, so it is difficult for Real Madrid to convince the Italian international to join. ”

The same can be said of Bayern Munich's Schweinsteiger and Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas. ”

"These three players are all top midfielders in Europe, and they are all very in line with Real Madrid's team plan, but it is very difficult to get them, especially in the winter transfer market, in just over a month, it is difficult for Real Madrid to complete such a blockbuster transfer deal negotiation. ”

Therefore, after media analysis, it is believed that Real Madrid's target will be Moutinho, Felipe Melo and Gustavo, all three of whom were also on the list of reinforcements submitted to the team when Mourinho was in charge of Real Madrid.

But at the same time as the media exposed the list of Real Madrid's reinforcements, the Marca newspaper once again published a fierce news.

Atletico Madrid, who have not performed well this season, will bring in French midfielder Schneiderlin from Chinatown for a high price of 30 million euros.

Diego Simeone admires the French player for his ability to greatly improve Atletico Madrid's midfield, and given the good relationship between the two teams and the need for funds to build a new stadium, Chinatown is willing to sell the player to Atletico Madrid, for which the Bianconeri will pay a transfer fee of 30 million euros. ”

The media generally believe that Chinatown have been very impressive in La Liga this season, and after selling Schneiderlin, the team is likely to dig inside, including local players such as Ander Herrera, Koke and Isco, who will get more opportunities.

However, neither Atletico Madrid nor Chinatown have refused to give an explanation or clarification on this transfer rumor, which also makes Schneiderlin's transfer confusing.
