Chapter 116: A New Chapter (Part II)

(Without the slightest precaution or concern, you just surprised me so suddenly...... )

In Mourinho's eyes, he didn't notice the tiny Portsmouth manager next to him, and his enemy was only his former friend Pep Guardiola.

How tough is Pep to deal with? Perhaps only Mourinho himself knows that before he officially took charge of Real Madrid, Guardiola and Mourinho had an exchange at Niang's UEFA coaches' meeting, which was five months after Barcelona was eliminated by Inter in the Champions League semi-finals, and the two never fell alone in this kind of meeting, but Mourinho specifically found Guardiola and welcomed him, and Guardiola was very nervous next to the Portuguese.

Beneath this friendly surface, the Magic Bird has long been determined to shake their foundation and break their otherwise peaceful hearts in order to beat Barca, and Mourinho understands that this is a group of extraordinary players. Barcelona won 2-0 in the Champions League final in Rome and another Champions League final two years later, the game turned into a show, with the ball tossing and turning between the red and blue jerseys, and the Manchester United players were tired of chasing, and in the end they simply enjoyed the passing performance of the Barcelona gold silk mosaic version, this time 3-1, the score difference did not change, but the gap between the two teams widened. United boss Alex Ferguson said: 'Nobody can beat us like that, but they deserve it, they play the right way and enjoy their style. Their passing fascinates you and we haven't really been able to control Messi...... It's the best team I've had since I became a coach. ”

Ferguson conceded defeat, but Mourinho said no, and after watching a Barcelona match, he was surprised by the referee's humility towards Barca, even the opposing players and fans were fascinated by Barca's talent. The Magic Bird is determined to put an end to it and remove Basar from the throne. To do this, he used all the ammunition in his vocabulary to attack Barça.

This is not a new tactic for Mourinho, he has used a similar strategy in England and Italy, but in different countries, and in Spain he has used it to the extreme, because this time against the strongest opponent he has ever faced.

Pep knows his good friends, he will develop a group of players around him who are determined to die, then criticize the authority, attack the referees, create a "world enemy" mentality, and eventually unite the team into a strong force to win the championship. So, at the first press conference of the 2010/2011 season, Pep Guardiola welcomed the new Real Madrid manager: "The arrival of Jose Mourinho will give me a boost to coaching, and it is a big deal for him to come to Spain because he is one of the best in the world and he will make everyone better. Pep knew what was going to happen next, and his remarks were just a good reassurance that the fight was inevitable, but he had to take a deep breath before rolling up his sleeves and fighting a fight.

In the eyes of a bystander, Hydward, both of them are making a ball that could easily invite hostility.

Pep Guardiola is surrounded by players who have been trained through the Barça youth system, and they share the manager's philosophy: a focus on proper passing, teamwork, good words and deeds on and off the pitch, and even some of the new signings who later join can understand the club's philosophy well. People like Eto'o and Ibrahimovic who couldn't get into his world were quickly purged.

The Portuguese leads a team that is unconditionally loyal to him as an individual, not Real Madrid, and is willing to give everything for victory and go out of his way for the manager. Real Madrid and Barcelona illustrate different interpretations of beautiful football, Real Madrid's football is always full of power and speed, while Barcelona is based on Dutch football, with more emphasis on effective passing and attacking. Barcelona have taken this philosophy to the extreme since Pep Guardiola's arrival, while Madrid have become extremely aggressive and sometimes violent, and Real Madrid are constantly humiliating their opponents, and it is clear that this team has become as hungry for victory and as happy as their coach. For Mourinho, the press conference is his stage, where he will step into the role and throw out conspiracy theories that his team is the target of bullying by referees, FIFA, the government and even UNICEF, and that the team deserves to win, and that in the event of a defeat or a draw, it must be a miscalculation or violence. He defends the violence of his team, and he is always angry when his opponents behave similarly.

Pep's most prominent personality is his prudence, always promoting the self-confidence of the players by selecting and motivating them, giving them a sense of belonging to the collective, and making them improve, while the magic bird is completely radical, he likes to raise the self-awareness of the players and then drive them to chase the victory, he likes the title of "special one" and does everything in his power to defend him.

Mourinho knew exactly what he wanted from the start, "I want to win the title in this country and then go elsewhere, in two years then I will go to another place and at the age of 50 I will lead Portugal to become world champions." "He would enjoy the pleasure of being in control, and he would like everyone to revolve around him, such as buying a property in London by his temperament, when Hydward was at the center of public opinion, and his house was the solution to Hydward's urgent needs. He also has the cunning of a hunter, brushing his teeth in the morning on a whim, and telling the media at a press conference in the afternoon: "Some people peddle a very different image from me, but in essence he is the same as me." Guardiola really didn't want to pay attention to this abrasive little goblin, he covered his ears and pretended not to hear.

Five months after taking over Real Madrid, the first national derby was played in a rare postponement due to the election of the regional leader of Catalonia, when Real Madrid led the table by one point, conceded few goals, and counter-attacked quickly, and they used the shortest time to form a whole, a typical Mourinho team.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-0 with Xavi, Pedro, Villa's brace and Hefren's goal, Tiki-Taka style reached the peak, and Barcelona reached the peak! Pep Guardiola is downplaying the impact of this game, he doesn't want pride and complacency to affect the team, Mourinho is also downplaying this game, saying that it is just a big point loss, and at the same time using this defeat he also persuaded the Real Madrid hierarchy to make changes, the past president of the Real Madrid club has the final say, and the current Real Madrid has the final say, he is the magician who brings back confidence.

……………..

As the warm-up game continued, Muinho's face changed from winning to uncertain, and he pulled out the notebook he had brought with him and began to write, Jose studied under Louis van Gaal, but the only skill he learned from him was taking notes on the pitch.

Of course, it's not that Real Madrid lost control of the game, but Edward's team frequently pressed up to control the ball, Magic Bird studied the game video of Portsmouth in the first half of the season before the game, this is a team that is good at counter-attacking, and many of the players are very colorful, but today's fullbacks on both sides of Portsmouth actually pressed to the enemy's 30-meter area, Ramos and Albiol were fiercely suppressed on the bottom line, and the central defenders used a rare high-level defense, Real Madrid has not yet played a quality counterattack, but to the confusion of the magic bird, Hydward was sure that he was not looking for death?

Hydward's idea was quite simple, he wanted to prove that he had a relationship with Pep. Pep Guardiola is just as difficult, and at the same time he wants to tell Mike that Real Madrid has nothing to fear, and cancer is nothing to fear. That's what he told his players, it's a game for Mikevey and bravery is the only definition. So in the first fifteen minutes of the game, Real Madrid was pinned down in the penalty area and couldn't show their heads.
