Chapter 155. Arrange your troops
"Do you think Li Lin can play in this game?"
Mourinho looked at the newspaper in his hand with a thoughtful expression on his face.
I saw that in the newspaper, it was Li Lin's words in an interview with Lin Xun yesterday.
Assistant coach Karanka shook his head, he couldn't be sure what Li Lin's injury was like.
"However, I think Li Lin may really not be able to play, at least from the current situation, Li Lin is definitely unlikely to start in this game!"
This is not Karanka's nonsense, but the result of Real Madrid's scouts through observation, whether in Amsterdam or in Madrid, Li Lin did not train with the team, but practiced alone, which can still explain something.
Mourinho nodded, he was also inclined to Li Lin not to start, but said that Li Lin could not play at all in this game, he did not believe it at all, if he could not play, then why bring Li Lin to Madrid.
"Since Li Lin is indeed injured, then he does not pose a threat to us, as long as we take a big enough lead, even if Li Lin plays, there is no way to return to the sky, so what we have to consider now is other people!"
Jose Mourinho squinted at his current guess of Ajax's starting XI and lingered on Eriksen for a moment and then at the rest of the attacking players.
Eriksen is the core of Ajax's attack, and in the absence of Li Lin, the team's offensive organization can only be completed by Eriksen.
"Eriksson will leave it to Sammy! It is believed that he will be able to do the task of limiting his opponents very well. ”
Mourinho's Sami is German midfielder Khedira, the midfielder's defensive ability is still very strong, and if it weren't for the injury trouble, his achievements might have been even greater.
In addition to Eriksen, Mourinho has also made corresponding arrangements, and it can be said that in this game, Mourinho is fully prepared to win at home.
He is also under tremendous pressure on his shoulders as the team currently sit third in the league behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and are 11 points clear of Barcelona at the top of the table, which is a desperate gap for La Liga, which has only passed 14 rounds of the league. It can be said that as long as Barcelona does not make big mistakes, this league championship is basically without Real Madrid.
And the current atmosphere within the team is not good, this is a problem that Mourinho has been difficult to get rid of since taking office, and the conflict with the team's captain Casillas has not made the whole dressing room calm. Coupled with the hype of the media every day, the current Real Madrid can be called internal and external troubles.
At this time, for the stability of the team's dressing room, Mourinho can only temporarily put up with the idea of abolishing Casillas, but for him, it is also a matter of time. The struggle between these two people will eventually end with the departure of one of them. If Mourinho can help Real Madrid win the long-lost Champions League, then Casillas may have to leave, but if Mourinho can't do it, I'm afraid he will be the one who will leave, but he is also mentally prepared.
The current league form of the team has forced him to a road in Huashan, and he can only go down this road and cannot turn back.
Fortunately, Real Madrid's current state is quite good, and the last round of Madrid derby successfully won the city's rivals, which still greatly improves the team's morale. The current league form, can only say that Barcelona's state is too good, 14 rounds of the league, except for a draw with Real Madrid, all the others have won, such a terrifying performance is indeed a little desperate, to be fair, Real Madrid's performance is not bad, but compared with the opponent's performance, Real Madrid's performance is mediocre.
At the hotel where Ajax was staying at this time, Frank de Boer was also considering the team's starting line-up. It is impossible to defend to the death, this is a fact that everyone understands, Ajax is not a team that is good at defense, so in this game, it can only be played with offense instead of defense.
"This starter, it's not easy to arrange!"
Frank De Boer let out a long sigh, and the absence of Babbel and Li Lin has made Frank De Boer now stretched thin in the starting lineup.
"I think Fisher can get into the starting line-up! With his current form, there is no problem playing a wide position, at least much better than Schöne and Sana, who have been in a bit of a slump recently! ”
Armand suggested.
Schöne and Sana are both wide players, but after a few games at the beginning of the season, Sana was completely put on the bench and had few chances to play.
Frank de Boer nodded, Fisher is currently one of the best in the team and has no problem starting the game.
So now it's time to consider another wide position, for the current 4-1-4-1 played by Ajax, the two players in the middle are basically fixed, if Li Lin is here, it is Li Lin and Eriksen partner, and now Li Lin is injured, it is Eriksen and De Jong who are partnered.
And Borigott will undoubtedly occupy a position, so the rest is the right wing.
"Otherwise, put Hawson in the forward position!"
Knowing that De Boer was not very happy with Schöne and Sana, there was only one way to go.
Hawson has been a regular striker in the team in these rounds and has performed well, and if Hosen is promoted to the striker position, then Boriguet can drop back to the right winger position. Although Boligott is tall, he is not slow, and he is not the same type of striker as Hawsen, who stands in the center.
"Hawson?"
Coach De Boer was a little hesitant, and it was a bit too risky to put a young player who had not played in the Champions League in such an important game.
But if you look at it purely from the state of affairs, it seems that there is no other choice.
But think about the real Madrid central defenders, whether it is the mature Ramos and Pepe, or the old and strong Carvalho and the newborn Varane, these people are too difficult for Horseen to fight, so Frank de Boer did not choose such a risky line-up in the end, and finally let Schöne enter the starting list, at least Schöne is experienced enough, in this important game, experience is still very important, at least experience will keep him from making too low-level mistakes.
