Mandzukic has been a bit annoying these days because the media has been trying to get some ideas about Mourinho's tactics from him.

He is not a good liar, so he accidentally slipped out of his mouth once, and the result is now known to the world.

He thought that Mourinho would punish him heavily for this, and even simply remove him from the starter, but what he didn't expect was that after Mourinho heard his story, he laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mario, you did a good job, very good, hahaha." ”

Mandzukic felt like he was going crazy, he couldn't understand what his manager was happy about, and he was so happy when his tactics were leaked? What the hell do you think, don't you want to win? Want to give up?

Later, it was Hazard who persuaded him: "What do you care about so much, since the manager doesn't blame you, you can just train with peace of mind, worrying about those things is distracting." ”

Mandzukic thought about it, the head coach didn't blame himself, what the hell was he bothered about, as long as he helped the team win the game and win Real Madrid, wouldn't that be fine? Why bother to get along with yourself, it's really nothing to do.

……

Mandzukic is now calm, he is working hard with his team-mates, not listening to what is going on outside the window, and he will do whatever the manager tells him to do.

He admits that he is not as good as Lin Yu, but he knows that Mourinho is better than Zidane, and there is no doubt about this.

This game is actually not a duel between Mourinho and Zidane, but a duel between Mourinho and Lin Yu, who is the main center forward of this team. That would be equivalent to a knife in Mourinho's hand, once the knife is unsheathed. That is, he must see blood, and he has no confidence in winning against Lin Yu. But he was still confident in scoring goals.

If a striker doesn't even have the confidence to score, then what's the point of playing, it's better to announce his retirement early, and save a waste of resources and time.

Mandzukic has always believed that Lin Yu's success is not actually how strong he is personally, in fact, his success is also due to meeting a good coach.

From Klopp to Mourinho to Lippi, these are all absolute coaches, and these people have given Lin Yu enough help and trust. It made him grow.

Otherwise, if you change to another coach, even if you Lin Yu are gods, I can use them for you and turn you into garbage.

Although Zidane is not as good as the previous three, fortunately, he understands Lin Yu's feelings, so he has always been very accommodating to Lin Yu, and when Lin Yu played under Zidane, he was already the first in the world. It's really not okay for people to transfer, so there is no possibility of being abolished.

Mandzukic is fortunate to be able to play under Jose Mourinho, even though Pep Guardiola is also a famous manager. But the problem is not for him, Mandzukic feels that as long as he can come according to the coach's arrangement. Then even if the talent is not as good as Lin Yu, then it can still achieve results close to Lin Yu.

So he's confident. Not inferior at all.

He is an honest man and will not go to scold Lin Yu. He had already suffered a loss in the last round of the duel, because he was angered by Lin Yu, so he made a mistake in the game, and this round he learned to be obedient all of a sudden, and the things on his lips were handed over to his head coach Mourinho, and he is now training with peace of mind and waiting for the game.

Anyway, his reputation is not as good as Lin Yu, and his strength is not as good as Lin Yu, and there will be no media to ridicule him for being timid, saying that he was frightened by Lin Yu, even if he says it, he can only see the real chapter in the game, and he is not a player of Lin Yu's type, there is no need to be so serious.

However, his teammates Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic appeared full of confidence and said something exciting in an interview with the media: "We are fully prepared to face the impact of Lin Yu's monster, he is very strong, but we will not show weakness, we will make him feel the horror of Stamford Bridge." ”

The remarks were not provocative, but they showed the uncompromising fighting spirit of the Chelsea players, who did not want to lose again in the first leg.

The key is not to be afraid!

If you're afraid, you'll lose three points first.

When many teams encounter Real Madrid, they first feel that they can't do it, and first put themselves in the position of a loser, so how can they play? The players don't have any confidence at all, and the hell can the game be won.

Chelsea don't have that problem, Mourinho is very good at mobilizing the fighting spirit of his players, he is like a general on the battlefield, when facing a dragon, he tells his soldiers: "Don't be afraid, after the dragon is slain, we are heroes!" ”

If you have weak legs when you encounter a dragon, how can you win?

That's probably why Chelsea are more difficult.

……

Chelsea's players are very realistic, although they are very confident, they also understand that Real Madrid is not easy to mess with, the dragon's dragon power is terrible, and if you want to slay the dragon, you must first sacrifice a lot of talent.

The showdown between Chelsea and Real Madrid is bound to be tragic, but you must not be afraid, and persist until the last moment, that is, victory.

Stamford Bridge has been expanded to accommodate more than 60,000 fans, although it is not as big as the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but it is still very spectacular, especially when the fans fill the stands, the cheers are really comparable to the Bernabeu Stadium.

All fans believe that Chelsea can qualify, they are the only team that is not afraid of Real Madrid, even if it is not as good, but in terms of momentum, they cannot lose, this is the soul of iron and blood.

Not everyone thinks Chelsea can beat Real Madrid and eventually advance, but it's one thing to believe it or not, and it's another thing to support it or not, and if you can't even support it, then you really can't be a fan.

Mourinho told reporters before the game: "We definitely won't defend this game, because the result of defending is defeat, it doesn't make sense, so you can definitely see a good game, believe me, you can't go wrong." ”

Exciting game?

What counts as a good game may be different for every fan. But there is no doubt that the two teams are evenly matched. It was definitely a game that everyone would enjoy, and Mourinho convinced those guys. That's how it will be in this game.

The last thing they want to see is a game in which one team attacks, another team defends, and then suffers from a game where no goal is played.

They also don't like a game where both sides are on their feet and then make people sleepy.

Their favorite is still the attack, the fast-paced attack, you come and go, the sword and the sword. People don't even dare to blink their eyes when they see it, and after watching a game, they won't feel depressed, but they will feel that the time is too short, that's good.

"But Mr. Mourinho, aren't you afraid that you've spoken out your tactical ideas so early?"

"Afraid of what? In the face of Real Madrid, it is useless for you to play conspiracy, then it has to be a real confrontation in strength. Everything else is nothing. Mourinho laughed.

No one knows whether his words are true or false, this person seems to have something in every sentence anyway, which makes people wonder through, maybe because of this. Many people don't like him and think he's too cunning.

In fact, there has been a heated discussion among Chelsea's coaching staff about how to deal with Real Madrid.

"We are no match for Real Madrid. It's better to play defensive counterattacks honestly. An assistant coach said.

"Yes, that's what we're good at. If we take the liberty of switching to offensive football, not only will our players not be adapted. I'm afraid Mr. Mourinho, you don't fit in either, right? ”

"We are not as good as Real Madrid!"

"We don't have a player like Lin Yu in our team!"

Statements like this are not unheard of within Chelsea Football Club, and they are a bit of a rampant.

But Mourinho waved his hand and said: "All objections are invalid, believe me, let me follow my own ideas, if you don't believe me, then let me get out!" And before the game starts, I feel that I am inferior to others, I feel that I have lost, this is rubbish, whoever wants to do it, I will definitely not do that. ”

After he finished speaking, even if he set the tone, in fact, after the second entered the palace, Abu had basically completely delegated power to Mourinho, which is also the ultimate reason why Mourinho was able to build this team according to his own ideas.

At the end of the day, you have to listen to the boss, and what the boss says, that's what it is.

However, Mourinho doesn't want to wronged himself, if the boss thinks his tactics are not good, then he can fire himself again, I just hope that he will not regret it in the future.

……

On the side of Real Madrid, Zidane has already determined his own thoughts, he feels that what Mourinho said is a smokescreen, it is impossible to play like that, no matter how Chelsea changes, it will not change the routine of defensive counterattack, if it exceeds this routine, it is self-defeating.

He's sure of what he thinks, especially now that Chelsea aren't in a particularly bad situation, as long as they play honestly on the counter-attack and then wait for an opportunity to score a goal, then they can knock out Real Madrid and advance, which is the safest and most appropriate thing to do.

If they were reckless and Real Madrid had taken the opportunity to score even one goal, Chelsea's advantage would have been wiped out.

As a cautious head coach, Zidane doesn't dare to be as arrogant as Lin Yu, Lin Yu is a player, so it doesn't matter, but he is the head coach, he has to think about more things, after all, he eats this bowl of rice.

If the current score is not 2:1, but 2:0, Mourinho will still believe this, because 2:0 represents a necessary attack, if you can't score, then there is only a dead end, and you have to score as soon as possible, even if it is a risk.

But 2:1 is different, if you still play like this when you have an away goal, it is completely crazy.

Zidane thought about it and felt unlikely, so he still decided to follow the usual style of play, let his team take the lead by one goal, as long as one goal is scored, then the advantage will immediately come back, and the opponent's morale will definitely drop greatly.

……

When the players on both sides played, Lin Yu was still greeting his teammates from Chelsea in the past, there were too many acquaintances, and he had to fight hard as soon as he got on the field, and this time may be the only more harmonious time period.

It's not good after the game, no matter who loses the game after the game, it is estimated that the mood will not be good, and there will be no time to climb the relationship.

Mandzukic looked at Lin Yu, he admired this person a little, no matter how big the scene was, he was able to behave so calmly, you have to know that Lu Dao is only twenty-eight years old, how did he practice such a stable psychology?

He was looking at Lin Yu, but saw Lin Yu smile at him and said, "It's going to be a fight again, don't show mercy this time." ”

For Lin Yu, these words seemed to be nothing, but in Mandzukic's ears, they were a little provocative and sarcastic.

Because he wasted two chances to score in the last round, and now Lin Yu said that he was merciful, what is it that doesn't hurt him?

He turned his head and snorted coldly, didn't say anything, but told himself in his heart, "Fight for breath, see the truth on the field, and let this calm guy taste defeat, that would be the best." ”

Lin Yu shrugged his shoulders, he really didn't know where he offended Manzukic with his words, since people didn't care about him, he didn't need to put a cold face on others' cold butts.

Let's see the real thing in the game. (To be continued......)
