During his first training session in Munich, Alonso was on the training ground and trained with the whole team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Mourinho didn't hide it from the media, so everyone saw Alonso's life.

Soon, the news that "Alonso is participating in the team's joint training and is expected to participate in the final" was spread.

For Mourinho, Alonso's return gives him one more option and more tactical changes.

So if Alonso can really come back, there will be only good things for him and Real Madrid, and nothing bad.

He was not afraid that this news would make his opponent probe in the past. Originally, he didn't plan to hide it, and he just wanted to let Guardiola know that Real Madrid had another strong reinforcement before the game.

In comparison, Pep Guardiola's bench strength is limited, and the changes that can be made are also limited. So he can always guess Guardiola's tactics, and Guardiola may not be able to guess what tactics Real Madrid is going to use.

Mourinho is ready for this final, although the outside world is saying that Alonso's comeback can be the starting partner with Chu Zhongtian. But Mourinho can't be so amateurish, Alonso is recovering from injury, but his form may not be back, so it takes a lot of risk to let him start, and this doesn't come.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian is still the starter, but Alonso has to go and sit on the bench to see if he needs to play.

In the last few rounds of the league, the midfield partner composed of Khedira and Chu Zhongtian played a very important role, especially in the away win over Barcelona, Khedira's performance was very good, he assisted Chu Zhongtian to contain Barcelona's midfield, and he was not at a disadvantage in the process of dealing with Xavi, Iniesta and others.

Khedira and Chu Zhongtian have partnered twice this season, the first time was after Alonso's injury, Chu Zhongtian took the position, and Khedira partnered with him very well. The second time was at the end of the season.

Khedira is a player who can play at his level with anyone he plays with, and that kind of player is very important for Mourinho. Because of his compatibility, he has increased the variety of the team's tactics.

Alonso is also well aware that he will not be able to start a game as important as the Champions League final just after returning from injury. He's in the right frame of mind – he's good enough to be in time for the Champions League final, and as expected, he's missing the rest of the season, including the Champions League final. Alonso is content.

β€»β€»β€»Real Madrid is hurrying to prepare for the game, and Barcelona is not standing still. Pep Guardiola's training has always been kept secret from the media, and for the first fifteen minutes that the media were available to film, his team only did some warm-up maneuvers and simple shooting drills, and only after the reporters had left did he go behind closed doors for tactical training. The new formation of 442 is of course his focus on drilling.

In addition to working the pitch, hard work off the pitch is also indispensable.

In the evening, Barcelona will also hold tactical meetings to study their opponents and ask everyone to reconfirm what they have to do in the game.

For this final, Guardiola can be said to have put a lot of effort into it, if this can't beat Real Madrid, he really doesn't know how to beat it.

The TV was showing footage of Barcelona's 4-2 defeat to Real Madrid at home.

It was a painful experience that many Barcelona players did not want to remember for a long time. They were beaten 4-2 by arch-rivals Real Madrid at their home stadium, much to the point that Barcelona at their peak could not accept.

But Pep Guardiola insisted that they watch the video of the game.

Because this is the closest two sides have met in the final, there are a lot of valuable things to be seen from this match.

For example, Real Madrid's tactics, the state of Real Madrid's players. This is very valuable information.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I know you don't want to remember this game. But you have to do it because it's a game that means a lot to us and we can find a way to beat Real Madrid. So now you have to get your minds right...... What is a 2:4 loss at home? We also gave them a 6-2 at their home stadium, but were they knocked out? No! They've won the league title now! So what is a failure? The key is that we can find something good for us in this defeat, and not be like a shrunken turtle thinking that everything will be all right if we don't watch this game. If you want to beat this team, you have to face them! Another thing I heard was that when we met for the first time this season, Jose Mourinho used their 5-0 defeat at Camp Nou as a motivating way for the players, and as everyone knows, we were beaten twice in the league this season. ”

When Guardiola talked about the records of these sworn enemies, his voice and expression were very calm, and he couldn't see that he was still unwilling after the loss.

Obviously, as he himself said, he has accepted these defeats and found the motivation and the way to beat Real Madrid from them.

"I am telling you this in the hope that you will understand that failure is not a shame, but a motivation. We're not an invincible team at all, don't listen to the media out there. We're a football team, we're going to lose, we're going to have difficulties. But what sets us apart from other teams is not how strong we are, but what we do when we face difficult situations. So I hope that you are the same now, no matter what enemy you encounter, no matter what difficulties you encounter, whether you are behind or ahead, whether you win 5-0 at home or 2-4 at home, you will not change our beliefs. Make the right choice, that's why we were able to win La Liga three times in a row, that's why we were able to win our fourth Champions League. ”

After Guardiola finished speaking, he began to explain the game that day.

Real Madrid thrashed them Barcelona 4-2 at their home stadium.

Pep Guardiola gave them an analysis of every goal and every goal, and even divided the game into nine stages, each stage of ten minutes, each stage to tell everyone what the tactical arrangements of the two sides at this stage are, what the situation is, what the other side has done to change the situation that is not in their favor, and how should we deal with it...... He explained in such detail, it can be seen that he has completely eaten the video of this game, otherwise it would be impossible to tell it.

Vilanova listened to Pep Guardiola's analysis of the game video for the players, and sighed in his heart: If we can't beat Real Madrid in this way, there will be no reason in this world! What else will Mourinho do besides pay lip service, other than use brutal fouls and dense defense to contain them?

Mourinho is also holding a tactical meeting with the players.

"Barcelona will definitely continue to use their 433, there's no doubt about that. It's not a good tactic against us, but I think Pep Guardiola's inflexible guy will stick to their tradition – now you can see it? How powerful is the power of tradition. Tradition can be both a cornerstone for them to rebuild their brilliance and a stumbling block for them to continue to be strong...... What we have to do is be the same as in the previous league game - on the basis of solid defense, attack and suppress them! ”

Jose Mourinho's tactical thinking is no different from Real Madrid's 4-2 win over Barcelona at Camp Nou in the last game.

Pep Guardiola is studying the game, as is Jose Mourinho.

The biggest significance of this game is not that Real Madrid beat Barcelona and win the league title, but that Mourinho and the Real Madrid players have strengthened their confidence that we have the quality to play against them at Barcelona's home stadium!

This allowed the Real Madrid players to abandon their previous fear of Barcelona. This kind of psychology has always been pressed in the deepest part of my heart before, and I usually can't see it at all, maybe even they don't know it. But once it came time to play against Barcelona, when Barcelona scored, when they were sent off, that mentality started to come to the surface and worked.

But now it's okay, the victory in this game has left all the Real Madrid players behind their fear of Barcelona. They played against Barcelona at the Camp Nou for 90 minutes and won 4:2, so what is there to be afraid of when they are defeated by their double this season?

The mentality of the Real Madrid players in this game is relatively relaxed.

Mourinho didn't think about what methods Barcelona would use to deal with Chu Zhongtian, but after repeated thinking and simulation, he felt that Guardiola should have no way to contain Chu Zhongtian. He has excellent physical strength, active running, and a large range, it is impossible to drag down his physical strength and make him play abnormally, I am afraid that Chu Zhongtian will not be dragged down, but the defensive side will be dragged down; At the same time, his body is strong, and he doesn't suffer at all in terms of physical confrontation, and enjoying a rough foul to contain him won't work; In addition, he has excellent skills, even in the face of multiple people to play the ball out or pass it...... He didn't need to worry about what Chu Zhongtian would do at all, what he needed to think about was how other people would cooperate with Chu Zhongtian.

β€»β€»β€» With one day left before the game, it is the day when both teams attend the pre-match press conference. This time, Mourinho brought Chu Zhongtian to attend the press conference with him.

'With the Champions League final in sight, is there a bit of tension in the squad?' A reporter asked.

Mourinho shrugged: "We are all battle-hardened people, I don't think there's any tension at all. ”

"But this is the first time in a decade that Real Madrid has reached the Champions League final......," the reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Mourinho's perfunctory answer, and had to get to the bottom of it.

Mourinho's eyes widened: "The last time I participated in the Champions League final was in May 2010, and the Chu ...... next to me was next to me," he pointed to Chu Zhongtian, "The last time I participated in the Champions League final was in May last year. Ronaldo last played in a Champions League final was in the summer of 2009. Kaka last competed in a Champions League final in May 2007. Harvey. Alonso last played in a Champions League final in May 2007. Carvalho last played in a Champions League final in May 2008...... And that's just when they're in the Champions League final, and I'm not counting the Champions League winners. Yes, the last time the name Real Madrid appeared in a Champions League final was 10 years ago, but the players who make up this team may not be the rookies who are playing in the Champions League final for the first time, as you might think! A team is made up of players, and you have to look at the experience of the team, not the experience of the name of the team. Of course, if you really want to talk about the name Real Madrid...... I can also tell you that Real Madrid has lifted the European Champions Cup nine times, is there any team in the world that can come even closer to that number? ”

Such a powerful answer, and the data and examples were listed, so that the reporter could not find a reason to refute it, so he could only sit back in a huff.

"Next." Mourinho motioned for the press officer to continue calling for questions.

Journalists are not deterred by the aggressiveness that Mourinho has just shown, in fact they like Mourinho like this, don't look at their criticism of Mourinho in the media, they are arrogant and conceited, and they have a big mouth without any cover, but these are the factors that the media like. Because without these qualities, how could Mourinho become the most popular manager in the media and appear in the media reports many times?

Mourinho has made the media hate him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will flock to him.

Just as the press officer motioned for everyone to raise their hands to ask questions, more than a dozen arms were raised in unison.

The press officer casually clicked on someone, who stood up and congratulated Mourinho's team on winning the La Liga title, and then asked: "Guardiola claims that he has found a way to deal with Chu, what do you do and evaluate?" ”

Mourinho pretended to be surprised: "Is this true? I didn't even think of it, but he had already found it, which is amazing! I don't have anything to say, I think about the game and we can all see what his approach is...... But I have to feel sorry for Pep Guardiola, if he had found this way a year earlier, they would have been a little bit closer to us in the Champions League......

He pursed his lips with a look of disdain.

Some pro-Real Madrid journalists burst into laughter. Of course, this answer and laughter did not sound good to the ears of the journalists from Catalonia. The third round of questions began, and many Catalans then raised their arms high. But the press officer did not call any of them, which caused protests from Catalan journalists: "If Mr. Mourinho only wants to hear the praise, we can leave." ”

They felt it could threaten Mourinho and give them the power to ask questions.

The press officer looked at the menacing group of Catalan journalists and was about to change his mind: "Then please ......" but his words were interrupted by Mourinho: "There has to be a first-come, first-served come, ask the reporter who was called before to ask questions." If you want to ask questions, please wait for the next round. ”

Seeing that verbal threats were useless, Catalan journalists decided to take action.

They all got up, turned and walked to the exit. This scene attracted the attention of many other reporters.

Mourinho was not surprised at all, and did not seem to see any angry expression, and he even said to the reporters who left the scene: "Slow down and don't send off." ”

This is a deliberate attempt to provoke journalists in Catalonia. He has no pity that these reporters do not interview him and do not attend his press conference. Anyway, the Catalan media won't say anything good, and it's better to leave early.

The collective departure of the Catalan journalists was a small episode of this press conference, and it did not make any waves, of course, the Catalan media would not think so, so Mourinho wrote in their mouths that Mourinho had an additional "conceited" incrimination.

After Mourinho answered the reporter's question, which caused a small commotion, the press officer decided to temper the atmosphere that was not quite right, and called on a journalist who looked like an Eastern face - he thought that this time it would certainly not be either pro-Real Madrid nor anti-Real Madrid. He guessed correctly, this is a Chinese reporter, he came to interview Chu Zhongtian, he stood up and did not ask Mourinho, but asked Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting next to Mourinho and had not spoken much.

"What is your outlook for this game? How do you feel about Pep Guardiola's announced approach to you? Also, do you feel like you're back in Germany again, back at the Allianz Arena? The journalist asked three questions in one go.

"What are your prospects for this game? There should be nothing else but the champion. Chu Zhongtian replied. Pep Guardiola is a very good manager, you can see from the fact that he has been able to lead Barcelona to so many trophies, I don't know what his method is against me, but I am proud that I was able to make him think about finding a solution specifically for me, it is an admission to me, and I am eager to see what he will do against me, I like to challenge ...... Yes, I'm happy to be back in Germany, I have a lot of old friends here and I hope to find them in the stands when the time comes for the final. Also, the Allianz Arena is a great stadium and I have a lot of good memories here. I hope this will bring me and the team good luck in tomorrow's final......"

Chu Zhongtian's answer was very confident, and he was not afraid of Barcelona at all.

But he has nothing to fear, he has not lost a game since he played Barcelona for the first time in the Champions League final in May last year, and defeated Barcelona to win the Cup when he played for Hoffenheim in the Champions League final, the Spanish Super Cup two-legged match, first won 3:1 at home, and then drew 1:1 away from home, and then there were two national derbies in the league, 2:0 at home, 4:2 away, Real Madrid beat Barcelona at the same time, also achieved Chu Zhongtian's undefeated record against Barcelona.

There is no one in the world who can face Barcelona undefeated, but Chu Zhongtian has done it.

His past battles taught everyone why he was fearless.

He is a well-deserved "Barsac Star"!
