Chapter 1426: Ice Bucket Challenge
Now that Mourinho is likely to adopt the tactics, the next arrangement is relatively simple for Zidane, and the only thing he needs to do is to ruin Mourinho's dream of dragging the game into a penalty shootout.
Of course, he must also be careful not to allow Chelsea to score from set-pieces, otherwise Real Madrid will be the passive.
Zidane is not as utilitarian as Mourinho because he has a strong team and he can proudly tell the world that his team can not only win, but also play beautiful attacks when they win.
Champion I want!
I want praise too!
I'm so confident!
If Mourinho knew Zidane's intentions, he would definitely be envious, with such a luxury warship, he really had to play whatever tactics he wanted, and he didn't need to think too much about anything else.
Mourinho also wants this kind of gorgeous victory, but it's a pity that it's like the sentence in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
The concubine can't do it!
If you can't do it, you can't do it, or just honestly put out your own bus formation, as for whether it looks good or not, that's all an afterthought, in front of the champion, the scene is a ball, gorgeous and a bird?
I've only heard of who the Champions League champion is, and who cares how beautiful the runner-up played at the beginning.
Although it has been said that modern football defence wins the championship and the attack wins the crowd, this saying does not apply to Real Madrid.
Since it is a team of gods, then we must do god-like things, and do what others do. Isn't that the same as the crowd? How can you still show that you are powerful?
……
As the Champions League final approaches, the atmosphere of the Champions League is getting stronger and stronger. Although there is less and less time for media interviews, the enthusiasm of the media and fans has not diminished in the slightest.
London, an old western city. The Champions League final has been given a new lease of life, and many shops have started selling Champions League-related merchandise.
And things like the Champions League final promotional video are naturally indispensable, including the clubs of both sides, the Internet, TV stations, and many netizens' own spoof videos have all come out, and the core content of these videos can't escape two words - "Lively!" ”
For fans, it's natural to want to see a lively game, even if it's the Champions League final. If you play dead, it's really disappointing.
Mourinho didn't react to these promotional videos, although most of the films portrayed Chelsea as the kind of hero who fought against evil, vowing to fight Real Madrid, but he knew very well in his heart that whoever likes to be that hero should do it, he really is not rare, he just wants to be a quiet winner.
To win. He can't play as flashy as the heroes, and he adheres to his strategic approach of aiming for the championship, defending and taking penalty shootouts as a strategy. Quietly arranging this game.
……
Knowing Lin Yu's character, Mourinho did not provoke Real Madrid as he did before, because he knew it. The quarrel with Real Madrid will eventually evolve into a verbal dispute with Lin Yu's master and apprentice. No matter who wins, it's a very boring thing.
Of course. He still expressed his strong belief in winning in front of the media, and he had to show it, even if he was slapped in the face in the end, because what he said was about the morale of the Chelsea team, the morale of the fans, even if he knew in his heart that the opponent was strong, but he had to show the determination to fight it out.
In media interviews, reporters repeatedly mentioned Lin Yu, obviously intending to provoke Mourinho and make Mourinho say something offensive to Lin Yu, and then they believed that with Lin Yu's temper, it would inevitably set off a large-scale war of words between the two sides.
"Although I know that you hate me very much, just like I hate Lin Yu, but I still want to say, this time, you media, don't join in the fun, I know Lin Yu, Lin Yu also knows me, this is a peak duel between master and apprentice, I don't want to play any conspiracy, you don't want to sow discord, it's useless, I just want to beat him once in the Champions League final, it's as simple as that."
After speaking, Mourinho didn't care about the media's continued questioning, turned his head and left.
In the past, Ferguson was a headache for the media, and now in the Premier League, Mourinho has shouldered this big responsibility, he has caused a lot of media in England to have a headache, this person is simply not in the oil and salt, and you sarcastically ridicule him, he simply thinks you are a fart, you want to ban him, slander him, he doesn't care at all, because his image has long been fixed among the fans, and no one can change it.
Those who hate him are useless in scolding him.
And the one who loves him, everything about him is perfect, even the shortcomings will turn into advantages.
This is really very similar to Lin Yu, and in dealing with the media, Mourinho is obviously more cunning than Lin Yu, so even if these media want to offend Lin Yu, they don't want to offend Mourinho today, they know very well that if Mourinho wants to fix them, they can completely let Lin Yu help, which is equivalent to offending two difficult people at once.
……
Of course, like the media that dealt with Lin Yu at the beginning, it was not without those bold media, who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take the position, they did not dare to question Mourinho in person, so they attacked Mourinho in newspapers and TV, portraying Mourinho as a villain-like character.
"What the hell is Mourinho doing? If we hadn't had us in the media to praise him, he would have been like Boas at best, how could he achieve what he is today? ”
"Yes, that's right, he did achieve great results himself, but can you say that it has nothing to do with our media? There are also many coaches in football who have won the championship and are unknown, and Mourinho is really hateful. No wonder others say that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, there is a head coach like him. There will be such apprentices. ”
These media patronized and said it, but Lin Yu was also brought in. It can be said that Lin Yu was shot even while lying down.
However, it is difficult to say that they did not do it on purpose, these media are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they can use various ways to provoke anger on both sides.
If they see that they can't sow discord, then they can simply let the anger of both sides be directed at the media, and that's okay, as long as it can attract the attention of the whole world, it will be enough.
I have to say that this spirit of sacrificing oneself for the sake of news and excitement is really "great".
This matter was known to Lin Yu. Lin Yuzheng was worried that he was too bored these days, so he stood up, don't you want to be lively, then I'll let you be lively enough, anyway, I'm really idle now.
And Lin Yu was taught by Mourinho, so he naturally understood what Mourinho meant by suddenly offending the media, which was nothing more than wanting to attract all the firepower to himself before the game, and then let his players prepare for the game with peace of mind.
Just know a little bit about Mourinho's people. will probably understand his hard work, but it's a pity that many people who don't like Mourinho always regard this as Mourinho's black spot, thinking that Mourinho has too many things to do before the game, and always likes to cause trouble.
In fact, why wasn't Lin Yu like this? Especially after Jose Mourinho. He's learned it completely, and when he was at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho kept a low profile. Because the task of taunting opponents and the media was taken over by Lin Yu, Mourinho was said to have changed his temper for a while. It is said that he is low-key and modest, but in fact, it is because he does not need to do it at all.
Lin Yu transferred to Real Madrid. This burden has to be shouldered by Mourinho himself, and it is really difficult to say it for this old man.
Lin Yu thought about it, he can't show mercy to Chelsea's subordinates in the game, but he can help Mourinho before the game, he hopes for a good matchup, he doesn't want Chelsea's players to be influenced by the media, so it is also good for him to do so, otherwise it will be too boring for him to play a team that is panicked by the media.
The methods he used to attract the attention of the media were simply beyond the expectations of many, not even Mourinho, let alone the media.
It turned out that he took out all the medals and trophies he had received from Dortmund, and then held a championship exhibition, which was his personal championship exhibition.
These things, if you look at them separately, don't seem to be that amazing, but when they all come together, everyone is shocked.
Those medals, those trophies, actually belong to the same person, can this not attract people's attention?
So soon, the media's attention shifted from Mourinho to Lin Yu, and he only cared about reporting on Lin Yu's exhibition, but almost forgot that the Champions League final was about to start.
Not only that, Lin Yu also combined the ice bucket challenge, which is very popular in the world, and came to an on-site challenge, and said that all the income from this exhibition will be donated to ALS patients to help them.
He also named three people after accepting the Ice Bucket Challenge, all three of whom were journalists in the media who often opposed him, drawing public attention to these people, which was very good for the preparation of both teams.
Otherwise, how could these three people be qualified to let him be named?
Two simple things not only made Lin Yu's image taller all of a sudden, but also completely made the media passive, so that both teams could prepare for the game with peace of mind.
As if he didn't feel that it was enough to be energetic, Lin Yu finally accepted the ice bucket challenge and said again: "This season, if Real Madrid wins the Champions League final, I will donate all I have to these poor ALS patients to bring them back to health." ”
He guess this is the right thing to do, because the recent Ice Bucket Challenge has a sense of going astray, and many people have completely taken it as a game and a lot of fun, forgetting its original meaning.
Lin Yu did this, which can be regarded as a good thing.
A day later, a photo of Lin Yu accepting the ice bucket challenge was published in the newspaper, and not only that, but what he said was also published in the newspaper, and the article written by the Gunners specially invited by his agent's office focused the public's attention on the matter, and it seemed that the Champions League final was gradually forgotten.
That's what he wanted. (To be continued......)
