"Maybe that's a good thing?"

Worrall did become interested in Mourinho's presence.

"Didn't Van Gaal mess up the tactics just because of him?"

"The involvement of an inexperienced assistant coach in the manager's line-up will only mess up the manager's thinking, and there is not much time left for Porto coach Santos, and I think the effect is counterproductive."

"This ......" Zheng Zhi choked, what Worrall said actually made sense. It's useless to grind the gun in battle.

However, the other party's name is Mourinho. The most important thing is that Santos's technical and tactical style of play and Mourinho's technical and tactical style of play are actually similar, and Porto's tactical style of play is also different from Barcelona's tactical style of play.

"Boss, Porto's style of play is also defensive and counter-attacking, which is different from Barcelona.

"Well, I understand. But I think that they should actually do more harm than good, and for us, maybe the benefits outweigh the disadvantages? ”

……

Worrall still didn't believe that an inexperienced assistant teacher could make any waves, although he still listened to Zheng Zhi's opinion, but he didn't believe that anything unexpected would happen in his heart.

Zheng Zhi understands that as a player, it is impossible for him to dictate the head coach's arrangement, and if he is not the core of the team, Worrall may not listen to him. Privately, though, he wasn't as confident as Worrall and left Mourinho behind.

It's impossible not to be on guard, even if it's just a reminder to your teammates.

He kept recalling everything about Mourinho in his mind and hypothesized that if Porto were the manager, how would he send his troops?

Is Porto a bit like the Inter Milan team of the past? There are Jadel and Capjo in front, Deco in the middle, Giorgio Costa and Secretario in the back, goalkeeper Baia, goalkeeper, right-back and central defender are the main players of Portugal.

So, can we think of Bayer Leverkusen as the peak Barcelona of the year?

If it was Mourinho, he would definitely regard Ronaldinho in the front as the most important target, so that Ronaldinho would be the focus of attention.

Zheng Zhi began to analyze the problem from Mourinho's position and analyze Mourinho's anti-counter tactics. From offense to defense, from defense to counterattack.

……

……

Finally, he struck up with his team-mates on the training ground.

"Ronaldinho,"

"In the last few games, you haven't been excited enough at all, are you worried about injury?"

"If you're worried about that, if you're worried about that, then you won't be able to play, that's not what the team needs. Without your breakthrough on the left side, the team's attacking ability has obviously dropped a lot. ”

He started by talking to Ronaldinho.

"I just don't want to get hurt in the German Cup or the league...... Ronaldinho stuck out his tongue, "in the Champions Cup, I won't be obscene because that's my real battleground." ”

"Grass, you're so shameless."

Such an attitude is not professional. Just stand on the pitch and we should do our best, or you'll let everyone down. Hopefully this time you won't back down. ”

"Ha, I just deliberately stayed to play the Champions Cup!"

"Ronaldinho, I have a hunch that the opponent will focus on you in the game, not one person, maybe two, or even three, they won't let you get the ball comfortably, and they will not hesitate to use rough fouls against you." Zheng Zhi said solemnly, "At that time, you must not be obsessed with a person to challenge them. ”

"Do you know what our goal is?"

"Yes." Ronaldinho nodded seriously, "I'll pass the ball out as soon as possible, don't worry." ”

"But that's not enough."

"In the midfield you have to dribble less to prevent the ball from being broken and they play a quick counter-attack, you have to press the breakthrough point in front of their big penalty area!"

"Once you lose the ball, you must fight back!"

"Anti-robbery, do you understand? Even if you do it, it's better than not doing it. ”

"Understood!"

"Well, it's good to understand, we aim for more than that!"

Both of their eyes sparkled because the goal was the same.

In the same way, Ribery's side is similar, and Zheng Zhi's words are similar, but it is estimated that Ribery's defensive firepower will not be as fierce as Ronaldinho's.

Another concern is, of course, the line of defense.

With the centre-back combination of Novotny and Lucio, Porto will surely make a big splash.

Worrall's small tactics are not in place, but Zheng Zhi can secretly communicate with his teammates.

"Vice,"

"There's a fast guy on the other side, and I think he must like to look for you."

Novotny immediately rolled his eyes, "Why do you have to look for me?" Can't find Lucio? ”

"He doesn't give the other party a chance to turn around."

"You're a little bit slow to turn around, that Capujo definitely likes to cam on your side, Porto are pretty sharp on the counter-attack, and once they hit the top ball on the counter-attack, they will definitely find a way to find a breakthrough on your side."

"Don't worry, I'll block his sprint route before he starts!"

"I hope so~"

Zheng Zhi smiled, and then chatted with Lucio again, "Luci, Jadel is also a Brazilian player, I believe you also have a certain understanding of him, right?" ”

"I know a lot!"

Lucio nodded solemnly.

"He is known as Ronaldo's third substitute, but unfortunately he is rarely called up for the national team."

Jadel, who won the European Golden Boot in 1998 with 38 goals, but this almost god-like figure has little place in the Brazilian national team, that is, Ronaldo's replacement, he can only be ranked third, the first is Edmundo, the second is Elber, and the third is him......

In fact, he was selected for the Brazilian under-20 national team in 1993 and won the 1993 World Youth Championship in Australia with the team.

However, Jardel has not been relied upon by the national senior team, not only has he not played in the World Cup, but he has been mediocre in a limited number of international matches, scoring just one goal in 10 appearances for Brazil. But this tragic player does not mean that he is not strong, but that the striker of the Brazilian national team is too strong. He has already proven himself in the Portuguese Super League, and a lot of clubs have thrown an olive branch to him.

This year, he is likely to be the top scorer of the Portuguese Super League for the third time in a row, and even win the European Golden Boot again......

The Brazilian has scored 50 goals in 45 games!

What kind of concept is this? Even dragging Ronaldo out may not be ......

"He's a horrible goal machine, he's an all-around killer! He can finish goals either way. Lucio was clearly jealous of Jadel's name.

"Well, it's good that you're prepared like that."

"So you have to keep an eye on him."

"The arrangement of the head is not as detailed as yours, are you worried too much?"

"Porto...... Maybe it's completely different from what we imagined. Zheng Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at Emerson. There's another guy who has to be guarded against.

"Rosa,"

"When we take turns to attack, once the opponent switches from defense to attack, if anyone is closer to the 29th, they must go up and follow him as soon as possible."

"Oh, I know, Brazilian, too, but not famous."

"Yes, it's not famous, but it's very strong. His style of play is actually somewhat similar to yours, unpretentious, you are strong on the defensive end, he is strong on the offensive end, maybe ...... Is he more offensively balanced? ”

When Deco was mixed in Brazil, he was really not famous, and the big clubs didn't look down on him at all, but he is now playing well in Porto, and if he follows Mourinho later, he will become the world's top midfielder.

"What?"

"Zheng!"

"It's too much, how can he be better than me, am I not omnipotent? I'm just a good performance in defense that overshadows my offensive talent! ”

Emerson wasn't convinced.

"You really insulted me, I'm already a member of the Brazilian national team, what kind of onion is Deco?"

Zheng Zhi's comparison hit Emerson's self-esteem, he followed the Brazilian team to the World Cup at the age of 22, and he still wore the No. 11 shirt! And Deco, who is one year younger, is almost unpopular in Brazil, and now Zheng Zhi says that Deco is more balanced in attack and defense than him?

He's pretty upset right now, anyway.

"Rosa, whether you are strong or not, you will know if you have made moves on the field. Well, if you want to prove that you are better than him, show your skills! ”

Emerson: ......

……

……

At 3pm on Wednesday, Porto first held a pre-match press conference. Head coach Santos brought the team's number one star Jadel to attend.

Santos praised Bayer Leverkusen vigorously.

"In my opinion, Bayer Leverkusen are the strongest team in Europe this year, look at how many strong teams they have beaten so far, on the other hand, Porto, they have relied on luck to get to where they are now. They are so strong, they have almost no opponents, and the players in the team are all talented, like an endless gold mine. ”

'Porto have very few chances in front of them.

"But just because we have a slim chance of winning doesn't mean we're going to sit still, we're going to play a big game here and we're going to do everything we can to win away goals!"

'We have the best attacker in Europe, yes, the one next to me, who has scored 50 goals before this game and is not in any better form in Europe than he is. If it weren't for UEFA's 1.5 goal coefficient in the Portuguese Super League, he would have won the Golden Boot again. Of course, the fact that he is now at the top of the Champions League scorers table with 10 goals speaks for itself. ”

……

……

Smoke bombs, cunning Santos. Zheng Zhi sat in front of the big forbidden area in the locker room and sneered. If Porto dared to attack aggressively at Bayer Arena and cut Ronaldinho's little JJ, it was absolutely impossible for it to happen.

Jardel scored 50 goals is really awesome, but Jardel will definitely not be the focus of the attack tonight, he is too slow, Zheng Zhi absolutely does not believe that Santos will put hope on Jardel, Porto's counter-attacking weapon is not him.

Everything is a smoke bomb......

Worrall then attended a press conference, where he also spoke a lot about Porto.

"I don't agree with what Santos said, Bayer Leverkusen are new compared to Porto, they are regulars in the Champions Cup, they are in the Champions Cup almost every year, and we have only played a few times?"

'For us, Porto are a formidable opponent and we don't dare to take anything lightly.'

"If I had believed what Santos said, we could have had a disaster in the first round."

Santos low-key? Worrall is also low-key.

Bayer Leverkusen's offense is strong, but Worrall has always adhered to the defensive philosophy......

……

……

Neither side announced the starting line-up at the press conference, and it was not tacitly announced until 19:30 that the starting line-up was tacitly announced.

Porto side:

Goalkeeper: Baia

Defenders: Secretario, Giorgio Costa, Ricardo Silva, Rubens

Midfielders: Deco, Paulinho Santos, Shainho, Drulovic

Forwards: Capjo, Jardel

Leverkusen:

Goalkeeper: Matty Seck

Defenders: Hoffmann, Novotny, Lucio, LaMelo

Midfielders: Franck Ribery, Zheng Zhi, Emerson, Ronaldinho, Ballack

Forward: Kirsten

"Sure enough, it was exactly as I predicted."

Mourinho appeared in the dugout in a low-key manner and sat in the innermost corner.

However, he was still captured by the live camera.

"This is...... Former Barcelona assistant coach, right? ”

"Jose Mourinho?"

Soon, Huang Jianxiang, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, recognized Mourinho at a glance.

"This is really a legendary assistant coach, he used to be an errand boy in Barcelona, and in the blink of an eye he ran to Porto, which seems to be quite popular. I heard that Van Gaal listened to his words to lead to the rout of Barcelona, I wonder what will happen to Porto today? ”

"Hey, Porto's new division?"

"After the scourge of Barcelona, the scourge of Porto is the scourge. I think it's the undercover agent sent by Leverkusen to the other party! Even Zhang Lu quipped.

Huang Jianxiang shook his head.

"Not necessarily, there are no weak teams in Europe, Porto can reach the semi-finals and eliminate Bayern Munich, his strength should not be underestimated."

"Bayern Munich avoided Dynamo Kyiv last year, and this year they won't be able to avoid Porto."

'Porto are actually a very balanced team in attack and defence, with Jadel scoring the most goals in Europe and defending so well, I think there will be two tough games to come.

Vicious war?

At least that's what Bayern Munich fans think, Bayern Munich was eliminated by Porto, although they hope that Bayer Leverkusen can beat Porto, but they also hope that Porto will cause trouble for Bayer Leverkusen, otherwise Bayern Munich will not be too faceless?

"The best result was Bayer Leverkusen winning the Champions Cup, and then the league overturned and Bayern won the league."

"So everyone rejoices......"

Sitting in front of the TV, the Bayern Munich fan thought obscenely.

But they are the only ones who think so, and in the Bayer Arena, a new attendance was created today, with nearly 55,000 people pouring into the stadium, and there was almost no room to stand. Not only the Leverkusen fans, but also many German fans came to watch the game.

As Germany's only team in the Champions League, the Germans are pinning their hopes on Bayer Leverkusen as they hope to reach the Champions League final for the second year in a row.

It's not a club anymore, it's a national pride.
