Chapter 197: Entering the Crystal Palace (4)

Liu Si now has his sights set on Bora Milutinovic and Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho is the son of a professional goalkeeper, Mourinho played professional football at the age of 17, played as a defender, joined the first club called Rio Ivey, played for two years before joining Piranlense, and then joined Sesimbra and Comosio Comio, but both were low-division Portuguese teams and did not succeed. He had no bright spots as a player.

There is no future in football, but Mourinho still chooses football as his goal in life. Because his father Felix Mourinho is a professional goalkeeper, under the tutelage of his father, Mourinho began to receive football at a very young age, at the age of 14, Mourinho got a lucrative job related to football, his father was the head coach of the team at that time, gave him a winning bonus, because Mourinho Jr. gave his father a lot of favorable information and advice, and finally made the team win. After graduating from high school, Mourinho chose to study football at the Higher School of Physical Education, and although he applied to the Department of Business Administration of the Universitario de Lisbon after graduation, he only went to one day of classes, because he had already set his goal in life: football.

At the age of 24, Mourinho announced his retirement and then devoted himself to coaching. After spending three years, he learned the official language of the five major European leagues and passed the Level2CertificateinCoachingFootball. In 1990, Mourinho began working as an assistant coach at Amadora FC and Setúbal FC in Portugal, and in 1992 Mourinho worked as an interpreter for Bobby Robson at FC Porto due to his fluency in eight Chinese. It was during this period that Mourinho passed the UEFA Coach Level 3 B Coaching Certificate (TheUEFABLicense) and the UEFA A Football Coach (TheUEFAALicense).

The UEFABLicense is the third level of European football coaching, which can be said to be the dividing line between professional and amateur coaches. At this point, we will really start talking about the psychology of tactics and the details of food and drink. In England, the average time it takes for a coach to go from level 2 to UEFA B is 7 years.

Mourinho is already a genius, but he has not yet obtained the UEFA professional coach qualification (TheUEFAPROLicense), and even the Portuguese Football Federation is not qualified to review the UEFA professional coach qualification (TheUEFAPROLicense). So in 1996, he followed Robson to Barcelona in Spain, as an assistant coach, after Bobby Robson left Barcelona, Mourinho continued to serve as the assistant coach of the new coach Van Gaal until Van Gaal's departure, during his time at Barcelona, Mourinho learned a lot of football knowledge and advanced tactical concepts, laying a solid foundation for his future coaching career.

Why is it believed that during his time at Barcelona, Mourinho learned a lot of football knowledge and advanced tactical concepts, which laid a solid foundation for his future coaching career. Because Mourinho studied at Barcelona to meet the requirements for applying for the UEFA professional coaching qualification (TheUEFAPROLicense) and obtained the UEFA professional coaching qualification (TheUEFAPROLicense).

In order to become a head coach in a professional football club, you must have a UEFA professional coaching certificate (UEFAPRO), which is at the top of the coaching qualification. LIU SI DOUBTS THAT THE CURRENT MOURINHO DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE A UEFAPRO PROFESSIONAL COACHING CERTIFICATE, HOW TO INVITE MOURINHO TO BE THE HEAD COACH.

Why Liu Si never forgets Marcello Lippi, Luis van Gaal, Carlo Ancelotti, Mourinho and others is because these coaches have a champion temperament, so Liu Si invited these famous coaches.

Carlo Ancelotti and Mourinho want to say that Liu Si likes it? Actually, I don't like it, Liu Si prefers offensive football, Carlo Ancelotti makes good use of Italian-style concrete to defend the big formation; Jose Mourinho is good at defending and counter-attacking formations, and is good at using 442 and 451 formations, Mourinho is always looking for players who suit his tactics.

His coaching and ability to motivate his players has been widely recognised at the clubs he has coached, while he has also established himself as a tactical and analytical opponent. His side have always been accused of being overly defensive, but the back-to-back wins have proven that they don't need possession to have the last laugh.

Mourinho's winning so many titles and glory is the best proof of this. Tactically, he is a master of defending, summing up "Mourinho didn't want to win games, he hasn't lost yet." "Attacking needs to be supported by quality players, otherwise Mourinho's team will have symptoms of lack of attacking strength.

But Liu Si is not bad for money, and he can buy a superstar who is a striker, isn't it? Crystal Palace wants to rise, Mourinho is the best candidate, isn't it? Unfortunately, 1997 was too early.

Bora Milutinović was born on September 7, 1944 in Basta, the former Yugoslavia. Footballer, retired in 1977. After retiring from the sport, Milou switched careers to become a coach. In 1983 he moved to Mexico to coach the national team in preparation for the 1986 World Cup on Mexican soil. Milou taught his understanding of football to a group of outstanding players such as Julio Sanchez, taught them to practice simple and practical techniques, and led Mexico to the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time. While in Mexico, he fell in love with and married a Mexican girl and had a daughter.

The Costa Rican Football Federation, a weak football country, graciously invited him to be the head coach of the national team, and in October 1989, Milou officially took office, leading this underdog team of amateur players to the World Cup finals for the first time. In June 1990, at the World Cup in Italy, Milou led Costa Rica to defeat European powerhouses such as Sweden and Scotland and reached the round of 16 in one fell swoop. In just over seven months, Milou has achieved miraculous results. Since then, Milou has made a name for himself and earned the reputation of "Legendary Coach".

The United States of America national team took a fancy to Milou and hired him as the head coach of the U.S. women's national soccer team. In 1991, Milou became head coach of the U.S. national team, leading the team in preparation for the 1994 World Cup in the United States. He used a concise and practical style of play to send the United States, who had little experience in major tournaments, to the round of 16, in which they defeated Colombia, who were favored by the football king Pele before the game. It was the best result in the history of Team USA.

After the World Cup in the United States, Milou returned to his adopted home of Mexico to teach. In January 1996, at the third "Gold Cup" of Central American and Caribbean held in the United States, he led the Mexican team to win the championship without conceding a goal.

In the future, Milu even coached the Chinese national men's football team in 2000, and led the Chinese team to qualify for the World Cup finals from the Asian qualifiers on October 7, 2001, fulfilling the dream of Chinese football to enter the World Cup in 44 years.

Milu can be considered, and it is also Liu Si's special feelings for him as a Chinese. But when it comes to Milou's ability to coach Crystal Palace, to be honest, he is more skeptical. Until 2015, Milou had never been the head coach of a first-tier football club.

Milou is the head coach of the national team, and his coaching strength is certainly enough, but as the head coach of the club, I don't know if he can adapt to it.

There is a big difference between a manager coaching a European club and coaching a national team! The threshold for being a national team manager is higher, and the task of being a club manager is heavier, more difficult and more stressful.

First of all, as a head coach, tactical literacy, dressing room control, personnel management, training level and so on are all necessary skills. To be the head coach of a team, these abilities of the coach must have been proven, the past of honor is the proof of strength, and the team cannot take risks and do not have so much patience to wait for the growth of a manager. Coaches who have coaching experience (preferably in the same league), have major tournament honors in coaching history, have high international and domestic prestige, and are loved by fans are preferred.

Because the player composition of the club is composed of domestic players and foreign players from the club, the national team is composed of players of the same nationality and language. When coaching a club, the pressure of personnel management is greater, how to make the players more tacit with each other? How to make the locker room more harmonious? What is the proportion of domestic players and foreign players? There are many league and cup matches, what will the players think if the squad is rotated?

The national team is selected by the coach based on the seasonal performance of the domestic players, and generally speaking, the strength and form of the players have been shown in the league. Most of the main players of the national team will not change much, and it is generally the injured players, substitutes and young players that are worth considering. There are few national team games, and the roster will not change much. The players are also familiar with each other, speak the same language, and make it easier for them to call each other.

The second is the transfer aspect, the club has a transfer window, and the transfer in and out of players is something that the club manager should carefully consider, as the head coach of the club, he also needs to have a keen eye and determination. Every time the transfer window opens, it's a time when many clubs are gearing up (and in pain), and it's also a time when the manager needs to replenish his brains. "What, God X wants to go? Where is he going? "Hehe, I signed up for another one that doesn't require money." There is so much to care about as a manager. And in the transfer window, the head coach of the national team only needs to set off a big cannon.

The second is that the club has limited patience, and there are season goals for every season and every stage, especially for some games that are weaker than your own team, and you have to be careful if you accidentally lose one or two games. In other words, it takes ******** effort and energy to be a manager at a club.

The most important thing is the tactical aspect. Especially in the Premier League, there are weak teams and strong teams, and if you want to gain a foothold in the Premier League, the same tactics will not work, especially since the league has 38 rounds, basically every week. As a manager at the club, he spends a lot of time every day studying the opponents, studying the tactics, and he pays more attention to detail.

As a club, it's not too easy for Crystal Palace to get to Milou on the phone. On September 22, Moynihan invited Milou to England to coach Crystal Palace Football Club in the name of Crystal Palace.

Naturally, Milou readily agreed, and in just two days, he resigned as the head coach of the Mexican national team, left Mexico, and went to England.
