"Ricardo Costa, Joao Costa, Carvalho and Ferreira form the back line, Costinha lags behind, Maniche and Bosingwa are left and right, Deco plays as a midfielder but can cover the midfield, this lineup in the midfield Mourinho is very consistent." , also in the conference room of Milanello, but the speaker was not Ciacchini or Tasottti, but Jiang Qi.

"Porto's midfield is the most stable combination in the Champions League this season, and it is also the most balanced, as the core of the organization, Deco not only exists as the point where the tandem team instigates the attack, but also contributes a lot on the defensive end, and Deco has a strong running ability, can maintain full physical fitness in 90 minutes of play, it can be said that his running ability is a guarantee for the operation of Porto's midfield."

"Costinha, Maniche and Bosingva, these three players look like ordinary midfielders, but if you look closely, you can see that they are very well balanced, they can shoot from distance, they can pass the ball, they can intercept ...... It's not very prominent, but it's undoubtedly well-rounded, and with great physicality, I would say that this midfield combination is very consistent. ”

"Today, when high-confrontation and fast-paced football are becoming more and more the development trend of modern football, the system built by Mourinho undoubtedly sees the direction of the future."

"If I were to describe Porto's tactical system, it would be like a sophisticated machine, the value of all the parts in this machine is underestimated, not to mention the energy they have exerted, Porto has been able to go so far, and it is a tactic and a real tactical victory to go to Schalke."

Jiang Qi said that the words changed here, "But I firmly believe that although the precision and stylization like a machine is terrifying, but people are more creative than machines, more energetic and miracle-creating capital, if Porto represents a rigorous tactical system like a precision machine, then we represent people with infinite possibilities, and will achieve the final victory in this duel between man and machine!" ”

When the tactics meeting was over, Chasquini didn't leave like the others, but sat beside Jiang Qi with a little worry, "You really decided not to design any surname tactics?" ”

"You don't see the effect of Porto's tactical system working, their loopholes are never easily revealed, and even if they appear, they will be quickly covered up by the tactical system, and this kind of momentary judgment is better to leave it to the players to decide." Jiang Qi turned the pen in his hand, "Moreover, the things on the court have to be solved by the players themselves after all." ”

"And ......", Chascini's concern didn't seem to have diminished in the slightest, "is it really okay for you to put Rui Costa on the field?" ”

After Deco was recruited by Scolari into the Portuguese national team after obtaining Portuguese citizenship in 2003, the most immediate impact was to remove Rui Costa as the heart of the midfield.

Jiang Qi shrugged his shoulders, "It is undeniable that Deco is a player who is more suitable for the current popular direction of football, and the classical forward like Lord Rui is likely to become less and less in the football world in the future, and eventually disappear, but the current Lord Rui is still very powerful, and such a rare opportunity to compete head-to-head, Lord Rui will not let go, I have always had the virtue of satisfying the wishes of others." ”

"I hope you kid don't overdo it, we rarely use this lineup this season, and it will only appear when the formation changes occasionally, so you are so relieved to put it up now...... But you've always had good luck, kid. ”

"That's it, the direction has been set, there is no need to worry about it, everyone has become accustomed to giving me trust after a season, so I have to give my trust back to everyone." As he spoke, Lao Jiang patted Chascini on the shoulder, and the two walked out of the conference room shoulder to shoulder.

Schalke Stadium is located in Gelsenkirchen, the Ruhr region, Germany's industrial powerhouse, which was known as the "City of a Thousand Fires" because of its developed mining industry, and there are many immigrants from Turkey living in Gelsenkirchen, such as Ozil is of Turkish descent. The most impressive thing about going to Schalke Stadium is that the lawn of the stadium can be moved to the outside of the stadium for maintenance, Jiang Qi still remembers that when he saw the introduction of the stadium from Tianchao CCTV Sports News, it felt like seeing the base of the robot era......

When he was really in the middle of the Schalke stadium, he really experienced the strong sense of stage, the dazzling lights, the bright turf, and the non-stop singing of the fans in the stands.

"UEFA's packaging is really in place." It was originally an exclamation sentence, but when it came out, it was as plain as boiled water, and it was naturally Tassotti, another assistant coach of AC Milan, who had such an ability.

Jiang Qi nodded, "Johansson said that going to Schalke is a place where miracles happen, if Porto wins, then the biggest dark horse in the Champions League in the past ten years will be born, and only the Danish fairy tale in the European Championships can be compared." If we win the title, we will be the first team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured, which is unprecedented...... Either way, it's a miracle. ”

He still hasn't said a word, and I don't know if the NBA's "miracle happens" will appear in a few years after UEFA's propaganda this time.

…………

Mourinho took a deep breath as he stood in the dazzling lights of Schalke, and the smell of grass penetrated into his body, which shook his spirits.

"Jose ......", Villas-Boas opened his mouth but didn't know how to continue, he knew how much hard work this man has put in to stand on this grand stage, how much effort the whole Porto team has put in, but in the face of AC Milan, almost everyone in the team feels a huge pressure.

The bookmaker's odds and the outside media's predictions are completely one-sided, this team has played the most dazzling offensive wave in Europe this season, knocking out the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich one after another, Super Laco who beat Juventus home and away, and Arsenal, who set an unbeaten record in the Premier League season, each of which looks much stronger than Porto!

"Think the odds of winning this game are low?" , Mourinho asked rhetorically.

"Some." , Boas was very frank.

'Before we played against Manchester United, everybody didn't think about us, and before we played against Chelsea, no one looked out of us...... But what about the result? We are the winners! Uncle Bird's eyes were burning, and his eyes finally bloomed with the confidence and pride that belonged to a generation of mad leaders, "We don't have superstars, we are not super giants, but what does it matter?" Football is an eleven-man sport, it is neither fame nor history, and without the belief that you will win, victory will be far away from you! ”

…………

Jiang Qi also stood on the sidelines, his eyes full of confidence, "Yes, Mourinho has built the tactical system to the extreme, but I believe that the creativity of football is the core content, and creativity is the difference between man and machine, and this battle is the best proof!" ”
