Chapter 1425: A Good Strategy to Destroy the Enemy
Of course, Lin Yu can give Mignolet advice and help him save the penalty, but Mourinho doesn't know this, Lin Yu has never done such a thing in Chelsea before.
But even if he knows, he can probably only take this method to deal with Real Madrid, because with Chelsea's current strength, it is very difficult to win in 90 minutes, or even more than 120 minutes of extra time, and it is almost impossible to say that it is almost impossible, so in this case, he can only pin his hopes on the final penalty shootout, and when it comes to the penalty shootout, at least without Lin Yu's help, the chances of both sides winning the championship are 50%.
Of course, such a game scene will definitely not be exciting, Mourinho may be scolded by many fans, especially neutral fans, who may accuse him of anti-football, but how can he care, he has not experienced such a thing, and some people have scolded him like this before, but when it comes to the team winning the championship, he will definitely not be swayed by others.
Even if he has helped Chelsea win two Champions League titles, but he is not satisfied with this, after all, Mourinho is not Zidane, with the help of Lin Yu to win the Champions League, for Mourinho, the sense of achievement is relatively low, he prefers to be able to take the current team to win the Champions League, in that case, he will retire successfully, and it will be more honorable.
This person is a representative of reality, as long as it is beneficial to the team, he dares to use it.
It doesn't matter if you say he's a bus, or if he learns from Barcelona, or if he doesn't let so-and-so player play. No matter what you say, he only has a scale in his mind to measure these things. That's the results.
Winning the championship, it's easy to say anything.
Can't win the championship. It's not good to say anything.
If this time Chelsea and Real Madrid won the Champions League final with only a 10 per cent chance in regulation time, then when it comes to penalty shoot-outs, the odds soar to 50 per cent.
As a pragmatic person, it is already obvious what he will choose.
Of course, penalty shoot-outs are not Mourinho's forte, as he lost to Chelsea and Real Madrid, especially at Real Madrid. In the penalty shootout against Bayern Munich, the usual penalty taker Cristiano. Ronaldo and Kaka didn't score a penalty, and Ramos even hit an anti-aircraft gun.
Because of that incident, Ramos was also ridiculed and satirized for a whole season, and there were many joking cartoons on the Internet.
It stands to reason that Mourinho doesn't believe in penalty shootouts, but now, he is also forced to believe it. Because he is less likely to win in regular game time and extra time than in the starting point shootout.
That's why now he's going to let the players improve their fitness, strengthen the training for penalties, for him. This is a very important thing.
I won't say much about physical fitness, if you want to drag it into overtime, if you can't do it, you will definitely suffer a big loss. He has always believed that Real Madrid was able to beat Atletico Madrid by a wide margin. It's because of the physical advantage.
A player's fitness may seem insignificant, and many managers don't pay much attention to it. But Mourinho doesn't think much of it, he has always felt that whether it is a scramble or a defense or an attack, physical fitness can play the biggest role, and if there is a problem with physical fitness, then any of your technical movements will have problems.
As for penalties, they are the killer feature of the final battle and you have to train harder.
Of course, he has also stepped up his set-piece drills to prevent surprises, and since Chelsea are unlikely to be able to penetrate Real Madrid's defence in open play, they will have to rely on set-pieces to get the score.
Although he said that he almost put everything on the penalty shoot-out, if it happened, he didn't want to have any way to deal with it.
He also has players in his team who are very good dribbling skills, such as Eden Hazard, such as Cesc Fabregas, and Schurrle's breakthrough is also good, because the speed can cause a lot of fouls on the opponent, so free kicks are very likely.
In addition, there are corners from long range, which are a must.
For this game, Mourinho also fought hard and used all the means he could use.
The penalty shootout is his last trump card, now prepare as soon as possible, when the time really enters the penalty shootout, whether it is mentality or morale, it will definitely be stronger than Real Madrid, and the chance of winning the championship is not only 50%, it is likely to become 60%, or even higher.
With mental calculation or not, Chelsea will have the upper hand, there is no doubt about that.
If he really achieves his goal, Real Madrid is afraid that it will be more than lucky.
But until then, of course, it's about how to drag the game into a penalty shootout, which Mourinho is best at, and he is not afraid, and even more confident than the penalty shootout.
……
Jose Mourinho has made every effort to study Real Madrid and develop tactics against Real Madrid, and Zidane, of course, does not dare to take it lightly.
However, Zidane started much later than Mourinho, so he has been busier than Mourinho these days, because he must first figure out how Mourinho wants to play this game, if he doesn't figure it out now, even a little accident on the pitch may ruin his good future.
Mourinho has been trying to play good football for the last two seasons, and of course, this is what he does against other teams, with many even comparing his team's tactics to a combination of Barcelona and Chelsea.
However, when playing against Real Madrid, Chelsea will basically take a defensive position, of course, sometimes Mourinho will not play according to the routine, for example, there was a Champions League duel between Real Madrid and Chelsea, Zidane thought that Mourinho would adopt a defensive formation, who knew that this guy would attack wildly as soon as he came up, but caught Real Madrid off guard, and the game was finally lost on this.
Despite the two-legged duel, Real Madrid advanced in the end. But that was Lin Yu's credit, and he, the head coach, lost a mess at that time. It's embarrassing.
So he has to think about some of the attacking styles that Mourinho might use in the final.
He wants to beat Mourinho on his own. Instead of relying on Lin Yu's ability, because he knew in his heart that Lin Yu would leave after the end of this season, and without Lin Yu's help, he would have to do it himself in the future.
How to fight?
He fell into a very conflicted mood.
In order to be able to formulate appropriate tactics, Zidane specially invited Lin Yu, and he wanted to refer to Lin Yu's opinion, because he felt that Lin Yu and Mourinho's personalities were somewhat similar, and the two were friends, Lin Yu should give some better advice.
“BOSS。 Don't think about it so much, Mu Shuai will defend 100% of the time, don't worry that he will attack. After listening to Zidane's question, Lin Yu said with certainty.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Of course, I'd do the same if I had changed. When did Chelsea take the lead in the final? Didn't you? Jose Mourinho may use some variations in the semi-finals or in the usual league games, such as attacking first, but in the final, he will certainly not take any chances. You all think he's an adventurist, but in my opinion, he's more conservative than anyone else. Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Conservative?"
"That's right, Mourinho is not a person who likes change. If he sees something, or something, he will stick to it. If you look at his team, they rarely rotate their starters. Unless it's a player who really doesn't perform well, there will be some rotation. And when he plays a strong team, most of the time, he definitely puts on a weak posture, even if his team has dominated the Premier League for several years. Lin Yu continued.
Listening to Lin Yu's words, Zidane thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.
"In that case, Mourinho is likely to be on the counter-attack?" Zidane asked.
"Defending and counterattacking? Well, it's possible, unless our attack is not strong enough, he will use defense to counterattack, otherwise, it will definitely be a bus, and it will be a double-decker bus, and we will definitely not have any chance to score. ”
"Then they can't score as well...... Could it be ......" Zidane suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that he deliberately dragged the game into a penalty shootout?" ”
"Well, it's really the same as a hero. That's what I think, we've been too strong this season, and Jose Mourinho, as a utilitarian and conservative coach, will definitely choose the best way for his team to design tactics, so Chelsea's chance to win the title is a penalty shootout. Lin Yu nodded.
"Understood, so do you think we should also practice penalty?" Zidane asked.
"There's no need for that." Lin Yu waved his hand and said: "Leave the goal task of the game to me, whether it is a double-decker bus or a three-decker bus, I will completely blast him away." ”
'I know you have that confidence, but Mourinho must know it very well, so he's going to do something about you.' Zidane said again.
"That's not afraid, although he has done a good job of defending me these seasons, he has not succeeded once, and this season I am the most terrible me in my football career, he can't stop it." Lin Yu thought for a while and said: "By the way, you don't need to practice penalty kicks, but you must practice well to defend set-pieces, at present, Mignolet's injury has not healed, we must let the old captain Cassie play, and his height is a problem, it is very difficult to defend high-altitude balls, Mu Shuai will definitely not let go of this opportunity, he knows Casillas too well." ”
"Well, I've thought about this too, and I've made a plan."
"That's fine, that's all I can suggest, in fact, you don't have to worry about the boss at all, with me, no one is an opponent, including Chelsea, this season I just want to play them to the bottom." Lin Yu smiled and said: "I won't tell you, I told Mu Shuai about retiring after the end of this season, he said to stop me, since I need to prove that I have a reason to retire, then I have to kill Chelsea cleanly, not to mention the penalty shootout, even if it is extra time, I can't let them succeed." ”
"You're confident!"
"Of course, I don't have confidence in anything else, but I've always been confident in scoring goals and winning, so I can't help him!" (To be continued......)
