It's something to be happy about, but not necessarily for Mourinho.

After the game, the media were talking about the game, but Mourinho criticized Chu Zhongtian, Ramos, and Bale in public at the team's first training.

'I remember telling you at half-time not to press the two full-backs at the same time. Have you all forgotten my words? Mourinho asked, glaring.

Bell lowered his head, not daring to say anything. Ramos looked to the side, only Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho looked at each other.

"Don't play against Arsenal next time, don't play for the three of you. As for when you'll be back, it's up to you to perform. Mourinho didn't ask any more questions, just simply announced the result.

There was a small commotion in the ranks.

Many people looked at Chu Zhongtian, Ramos, and Bell with some surprise.

Even Bale, who had been keeping his head down, and Ramos, who was looking next to him, looked at Mourinho.

Chu Zhongtian lowered his head.

Everyone felt that this punishment was too severe, you must know that these three people, except for Bale, are all the main players who can't be beaten...... Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Mourinho to really do such a thing. And it was his own decision, he asked Bale and Ramos to press at the same time, and now he was involved in them, and he felt that it was unfair to do so.

If it were a person who was being punished, he would think it was nothing.

Mourinho ignored everyone's surprised eyes and waved his hand: "That's it, start training!" After saying that, he stepped aside, and assistant coach Karanka walked up and blew a whistle in his mouth: "Alright, let's train, boys!" ”

Everyone had their own things to do and started a new day of training under the leadership of Karanka.

In the warm-up running circle, Chu Zhongtian ran beside Ramos and Bale and apologized to them: "I'm not embarrassed...... I'm the one who caused you ......."

Ramos waved his hand: "It's okay, I just want to take a break!" Saying this, in fact, he still cares a lot about being excluded from the Champions League squad - with his arrogant temperament, being treated like this, and not scolding Mourinho on the spot is already a manifestation of Mourinho's prestige, but the depression in his heart cannot be eliminated for a while.

Chu Zhongtian could know how unhappy he was from the way he gritted his teeth, and it was not good to stimulate him again. He went to Bell again.

Bell shook his head helplessly, with a wry smile. In fact, he is the most innocent here, first of all, the degree of pressure he is not deep, and secondly, he was completely taken by Chu Zhongtian as a layout, and secondly, he did not really participate in the attack after pressing, just to make Atletico Madrid believe that Real Madrid's two fullbacks really inserted assists, and there are big gaps behind him, so as to attract as many people as possible from Atletico Madrid. And after Chu Zhongtian had a "passing error", he was also the first to return to defense, and when Chu Zhongtian cut off the football, he had already returned to defense in place.

So he is actually quite aggrieved. But no matter how many grievances there are at this time, it's useless, who to talk to? Bale is a newcomer to the team, he still doesn't speak Spanish, can't communicate with more of his team-mates, and doesn't have many friends in the team.

Chu Zhongtian walked over and patted Bell on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry." He apologized to Bell and involved the little monkey, which was the most guilty thing for Chu Zhongtian. Ramos doesn't care very much about the heartless man, after all, Ramos is an old courtier in the team, and he has deep roots in Real Madrid, even if he falls out of favor for a while, he can quickly regain the opportunity to play. As long as he doesn't start two games in a row, Madrid's media will have to cheer for him, questioning whether there is a contradiction between Mourinho and Ramos? As for Ramos, you can also go directly to Florentino, let the big boss of Real Madrid support him, put pressure on Mourinho, and always be able to return to the starting lineup.

Bale is different, he just came to the team, he didn't know a few people, and his relationship with everyone was average, and he didn't understand the language. As a rookie, he was originally a rotation player, lacking regular opportunities to express himself, and now he is still in the cold because of himself, and he will lose the opportunity to play, just like Pedro last season. Leon is the same...... If it was really because of himself that Bale's career at Real Madrid ended in such a hurry, then Chu Zhongtian would really feel very guilty and have an uneasy conscience.

So first of all, he has to apologize to Bell.

Bell shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing else.

Chu Zhongtian didn't want to say anything more, but he had already made up his mind to talk to Mourinho alone after the training to clarify the situation and help the two teammates return to the starting lineup.

β€»β€»β€»After the training, Chu Zhongtian went straight to Mourinho.

He knows where Mourinho's office is and doesn't need to ask. The head coach's office is located next to the training ground, with a large floor-to-ceiling glass window that gives a direct view of the training ground. Jose Mourinho is based here.

Chu Zhongtian walked around the main gate and knocked on the door.

Mourinho was working inside, and when he heard a knock on the door, he didn't raise his head and said, "Please come in." ”

Chu Zhongtian pushed the door in.

Mourinho looked up and saw that it was him, not surprised, looking at him with no expression on his face.

"I'd like to explain a few things to you, Coach." Chu Zhongtian said straight to the point.

Mourinho pouted and motioned for him to sit down.

After Chu Zhongtian sat down on the sofa in front of his desk, he continued: "I hope the coach can revoke the punishment of Sergio and Gareth. ”

"Oh?"

"I know why you're angry, but this matter has nothing to do with them, it's my decision alone."

"Decided?"

"Yes." Chu Zhongtian nodded, "It's the way I came up with, otherwise I'm not sure if we can take three points away from home." ”

"What do you mean?"

'I know a draw is nothing for us, but I prefer to win.'

"You don't think we're going to win if we play like that?"

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I didn't say that." I just think I have a way to get the win faster, and I don't have to put it off until the end. No one knows what will happen next. ”

"That said Ramos and Bale pressed forward and then made a mistake in the pass...... Did you plan it all alone? Mourinho asked.

In fact, after C. Ronaldo's goal, Mourinho was not without such thoughts, but he quickly denied himself, he did not think that a player has the ability to plan all the reactions of himself and his opponent to this point. He felt that it was a coincidence, so Chu Zhongtian was just shit luck, he still made a fatal mistake and couldn't be spared.

Any player who dares to challenge his authority will end up miserable.

Chu Zhongtian nodded.

Seeing him nod, Mourinho got up from his seat and walked around to his desk.

"How could you possibly plan it?" He wasn't convinced.

Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand and explained to Mourinho how he planned this attack.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think Atletico Madrid were always looking for an opportunity to counter-attack, although they didn't look threatening until that time, and the few limited counter-attacks didn't come to fruition. But I don't think Flores' side are content to get a draw on their home turf. It's their home stadium after all, and they've not beaten us in 19 league games, it's a city derby, not an ordinary league, so Atletico Madrid must really want to win......"

What Chu Zhongtian said makes sense, and Mourinho agrees with this, because he thinks so too. He doesn't think that Atletico Madrid's previous low-key performance was a sign of admitting defeat.

Mourinho did not interject, but listened to Chu Zhongtian continue.

"So I think we should find a way to use their mentality to score another goal, and after taking the lead, even if Atletico Madrid score again, it will only equalize, which can dampen their fighting spirit."

"So you directed such a play?" Mourinho asked.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Yes." Atletico Madrid was very careful in both defense and counterattack before, quickly returning to defense when defending, and the formation was not chaotic, and the number of troops invested in the attack was very small, obviously afraid of our fast offensive play. I think it's going to be difficult for us to score goals if they stay like this......

"So they have to be lured out?" Mourinho interjected.

"Hmm. If they are not willing to devote more troops to the attack, our attack will not be easy to fight. But if neither of our two full-backs stepped forward to assist, Atletico Madrid's attack would not have been able to commit more. So I put Sergio and Gareth up to assist. ”

"And then you deliberately mismade the ball?"

Mourinho asked. If the answer is yes, then the person in front of you is too terrifying...... He counted every reaction from his opponent and his own side, and opponents like Assunsan became part of his plan.

"I did it on purpose." Chu Zhongtian admitted.

Mourinho leaned forward, stared at him and asked, word by word: "How can you be sure that he will do what you envision when he receives the ball?" ”

This is also the biggest basis for Mourinho to deny Chu Zhongtian's so-called "plan theory" - even if you can arrange your own teammates, how can you advance what the opponent will do in advance? What if he doesn't follow your ideas, but is the exact opposite of what you think?

So Mourinho thinks it's too childish to be true.

"Because he can only pass the ball to the side where Sergio is." How could I think that Chu Zhongtian said confidently.

"Why?" Mourinho asked.

"Because Gareth didn't press too high, he still took into account your instructions, so he just pressed a little bit higher, giving the Atletico Madrid players the illusion that 'he wants to press the assist', but he may not really press it desperately. He's a newcomer to the team and he can't be too presumptuous. So his pressure will definitely not be too large. With that in mind, Atletico Madrid's attack is unlikely to be placed there, as Gareth can return quickly and it doesn't make much sense to attack him on the wing. ”

Chu Zhongtian talked eloquently, as if he was giving Mourinho a tactical lesson.

Mourinho listened with a secret shock. If Chu Zhongtian even Gareth. If the difference in action brought about by Bell's identity is taken into account, then this person ...... It's the most special player he's ever seen.

He even felt that Chu Zhongtian was a waste of talent as a player, and he should be the head coach...... "So as long as Asunsang is not confused, he will definitely attack the side where Sergio is located." Because Sergio was almost pressed to the opponent's 30-meter line at that time, it was too late to defend. Only the void behind him can be used. ”

"So you ran to the side while the opponent was passing?" Mourinho was surprised, but his face remained expressionless.

Chu Zhongtian nodded.

"Well, how can you be sure you'll be able to block Reyes' ball in a one-on-one defense? What if he passes a little earlier than you expected? Mourinho continued.

Chu Zhongtian also continued to answer: "Pepe's interception interfered with his judgment, and he thought he had passed our last defender. At this time, most players do not choose to pass the ball, but choose to dribble forward and go all the way to the penalty area. The most important point......" Chu Zhongtian looked at Mourinho and found that his face was still expressionless, before continuing, "I have confidence in my one-on-one defensive ability. ”

Of course, he was confident, before Reyes had made an emergency stop, he knew that this man was going to make an emergency stop, and he knew what he was going to do before his opponent, how could he not win?

But there is no way to say it to Mourinho here, so he can only explain it with this extreme self-confidence. Anyway, masters are always a little conceited, so it's not necessarily wrong.

Sure enough, Mourinho did not question his confidence. Chu Zhongtian's one-on-one defensive ability has been reflected a lot in daily training, and Mourinho also discovered it in last season's Champions League game. Rangnick just uses Chu Zhongtian as an offensive player, so Chu Zhongtian doesn't often show his ability in defense. But no one dares to deny his defensive ability, especially one-on-one defensive ability, can freeze Messi in the Champions League final, Chu Zhongtian has already demonstrated his strength.

So when he said that, Mourinho didn't feel anything wrong. Moreover, the defense on the wing is already simpler than the defense in the middle, and the wing player does not have many directions to choose from, and the defender can easily judge his intentions, so the success rate of the ball will be high, which is not surprising.

Moreover, Chu Zhongtian's broken ball was indeed very beautiful, taking advantage of the fact that Reyes had just stopped sharply and his body had not fully recovered due to inertia, he pounced forward and stabbed the football out. The timing was very good, and it didn't work a little sooner or later.

Chu Zhongtian's explanation is very reasonable and impeccable.

But will he be able to convince Mourinho then?

Mourinho kept a straight face, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face: "What you said is very good. But you're still going to be banned. ”

Chu Zhongtian exclaimed: "Why? ”

"First of all, you have to be clear that I'm the manager of this team, you're not." Mourinho pointed to Chu Zhongtian and said, "Here, I have absolute authority. Secondly, you got your gamble right this time, but what about next time? Can you guarantee that every time you decide to do something arbitrarily will succeed? ”

"I'll admit it's a bit risky...... But you can't always stick to the rules in football, you always have to take a little risk! ”

"Yes, it's always risky, but not at times like these. It's when it's a last resort. "Actually, Mourinho is indeed a bit conservative in his bones. Although his risky moves are no less than Chu Zhongtian's, he often chooses to replace a defender and replace a striker to increase the attack after being sent off and the score is down, and he has made the right bet on doing so several times in a row.

However, as he himself said, these gambles were made out of necessity. If everything was in order, he would not have chosen such a radical approach.

"If you have to take the risk, it's too late!" Chu Zhongtian retorted. He doesn't want to push himself into a desperate situation every time, and then expect the small universe to explode, it will work once or twice, and everyone will have aesthetic fatigue every time...... Mourinho shrugged: "That's your opinion, but now I'm the manager, so you have to listen to me. ”

Chu Zhongtian suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to the atmosphere of the negotiation with Mourinho before he was going to leave Chelsea, and it seemed to be quite calm, but he didn't know how to make it like this...... Now he is no longer the strong-blooded teenager he used to be, and now that he wants to play in someone else's team, there is no need to stiffen the relationship with the head coach.

He chose silence, then said goodbye to Mourinho and walked out.

After Mourinho watched him leave, he turned on the video camera, dug out the video tape of the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid from the data cabinet, and inserted it into the video recorder.

He fast-forwarded to the scene where C. Ronaldo scored and stared carefully at the TV screen.

Bale did hesitate to press, but Ramos rushed up very quickly. Bale is new and cautious about the manager's authority, but what about Ramos? Jose Mourinho remembers that he had a conflict with him when he first arrived at Real Madrid, and the rumours of his feud with Ramos from the outside media last season have not stopped, and Ramos is clearly not afraid of his own manager...... Did Chu Zhongtian even take these into account?

At first, he felt that Chu Zhongtian was lying and. But now...... In his heart, he had to believe that what he said might be true...... Chu Zhongtian gave him a special tactical lesson.
