Chapter 373: Iron-Blooded Banner
Standing in front of the tactical board, Mourinho looked relaxed, as if the score on the field was not a goal behind, but a goal ahead.
"What's wrong? Frustrated? Mourinho smiled and asked the assistant coach to help bring some fresh bananas from the side and handed them to the players: "Eat some bananas to replenish your strength." ”
"Coach, we're lagging behind now!" Lampard put the banana aside and said with some excitement.
Mourinho smiled and motioned for Lampard to sit down and speak without standing up before replying: 'Behind? Yes, we're behind, but is the game over? ”
"Not really."
'Frank Lampard, you're a veteran player, why can't you hold your breath? Those people outside say that our tactics are not good-looking, that we are turtle tactics, it doesn't matter, they like to say how they want to let them go, we ourselves can not be affected, everyone likes beautiful play, but football is realistic, cruel, only winning the game is the truth. After Mourinho finished speaking, he took a bite of the banana and did not continue until he had swallowed it completely.
"From the pitch, we were really passive. That's because Napoli is playing at home, the limelight is strong, and the momentum is fierce! It's like a sharp blade that has just been sharpened, and we don't have to go to him hard. What do you say in Lin Yu's words? ”
"Avoid it!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"That's right, just avoid it." Our physical strength is a bit of a problem, after all, it is a long-distance battle, it is impossible to compare with Napoli, plus when we rest at night these two days, there are always Napoli fans making noise outside the hotel. I guess everyone hasn't slept much, right? ”
"Hehe, I didn't pay much attention." Lin Yu scratched his head. Said a little embarrassed.
"Well, who has a heart as big as yours. I was so calm when I encountered anything, and I heard the commotion outside that night, and I didn't sleep all night, but you were snoring like thunder. Hazard, who lived in the same room as Lin Yu, shook his head and said.
"You all have to learn from Lin Yu. Even I should learn from him, we will encounter many such things in the future, if every time I am disturbed and can't sleep, then I can't play the game, even if I really want to change the way I play, you don't have the physical strength to achieve it. Mourinho smiled and said, "So today's game." Don't be in a hurry, it's better to take it step by step, play steadily, put the center on the defense, just leave a Lin Yu in front, and the rest of the people will all retreat to the defense, and you must grind the sharpness of Naples to the ground, and then follow my orders to attack. ”
"And what if they're always so aggressive?"
"If their spirit is not lost, then even if they lose this game. The premise is that the score must not be allowed to expand again. Of course. That's the worst-case scenario, and I don't believe our Mr. Ballon d'Or will stand up to the loneliness and not score the whole game? Mourinho glanced at Lin Yu and said.
"I don't dare to say 100 per cent goals. However, it is not far off, Napoli attack fiercely, and there must be problems at the back. I just have to take a chance. Lin Yu nodded.
"You don't have a problem with what I said, right?" Mourinho finally asked.
"No comment!"
What can the players say?
For the pursuit of beautiful football, that's what the fans like. And the pursuit of players and coaches is always to win the game!
Defend it too. Attacking or not, it doesn't matter to them, as long as they can win this game and let out a bad breath, then nothing is a problem.
A football team is not an idol group, and an idol group can take opinions from fans and then put them into action to help the idol group increase its visibility and affinity.
But the football team is different, if the football team does what the fans say, it will be a mess, and if there is no fixed way of playing, the team will collapse sooner or later.
Whether it is Bayern, Dort, Barcelona, or Real Madrid, who have performed well in recent seasons, they all have their own set of tactical systems.
Whether it's good to look at or ugly, it's all about victory.
Bayern has excellent wings, so he can go with the tactic of flying on both wings!
Dort's young players have impact, so they dare to use lethal tactics! However, without Lin Yu's physical strength monster, Dot's tactics, although beautiful, are very difficult to deal with in the face of multi-front combat!
Barcelona and Real Madrid also have their own insistences, no matter what your fans or the media say, it seems that they are all experts, it is useless, how they should play and how they play.
Chelsea adhere to Mourinho's style of play, although a little improvement has been made, enhancing the tacit understanding of the tackle and short pass in the front, but on the whole it is still a defensive counterattack, which is why Mourinho will not be worse no matter which team he leads, from Benfica who only took a short time, to Porto who won the treble, and then to Chelsea, he has proven again and again how good his style of play is.
So as his players, there is absolutely no doubt.
Chelsea are a hard-blooded force, a warrior full of fighting spirit, not an assassin, a mage or anything else, so they will inevitably follow a warrior path full of killing and tragedy.
Every club has its own traditions and its own ethos, and Chelsea have not been very successful for a long time because they have not found their own ethos.
It wasn't until Jose Mourinho arrived that he injected an iron essence into the team, and even after he left, Chelsea never abandoned that quality, so they were able to win the Champions League in extremely difficult circumstances.
Now, Mourinho is back, and this iron-blooded nature will be even more worthy of being carried forward.
"Even if you die, you have to die standing up!"
"Even if you lose, keep your head high!"
"There is no Chelsea who can't afford to lose, only Chelsea who doesn't want to lose!"
After eating a banana, Mourinho threw the banana peel into the trash and wiped his hands with a tissue, and he suddenly looked up. The gaze is sharp and infectious.
'A lot of people asked me why I came back to Chelsea and I didn't want to answer before. But I can tell you today! ”
"There's my spirit here, there's my dreams. And the blood that makes my heart surge! In Real Madrid, I can't find such blood, it's a pity, although I want to integrate my own ideas into Real Madrid, but they have their own aristocratic ideas, which are incompatible with my ideas, and my breakup with Real Madrid, in fact, no one can complain about anyone, it can only be said that the concept is not compatible. ”
'I'm glad I'm back at Chelsea. Here I can find everything I want! What about you? Would you like to follow me into creating a dynasty of Chelsea? ”
"Yes!" In the dressing room, the voice was neat and heroic, and although everyone knew that this was the manager's usual motivational technique, he still couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.
"Well, may the iron and blood always be at Chelsea, and let the flag of Chelsea fly over the whole continent of Europa! Now, let's go on the field and defeat tiny Napoli. Let them know that they are destined to only be a stepping stone for the Chelsea dynasty! Mourinho said, waving his arms.
"Wa Cha, coach, you say that, I can't bear it!" Lin Yu and Mourinho have similar temperaments. What Mourinho thought, he probably also thought, what Mourinho said. It's what he wants to say in his heart, so it's natural. He was also the most affected by this remark.
"Let's put it away and kick it off. Napoli are strong, but it's not yet time for you to use all your strength. Mourinho smiled and said: "Okay, don't say more, it's time to say that it's time to pass, do you hear the roar outside?" That's the roar of more than 70,000 Napoli fans and I don't like to hear it, so I hope someone can shut them up! ”
"Hehe, it's on me." Lin Yu rubbed his nose and was the first to rush out of the locker room.
The moment he walked out of the players' tunnel, Lin Yu suddenly stopped, and he found that there was one more thing in the stands, which was a huge cardboard portrait.
On the cardboard are the heads of two people, one is Maradona, the other is Higuain.
Perhaps because of Maradona's relationship, the Napolitans have a special affection for Argentine players, and Higuain only moved to Napoli for the second season, and they were regarded as Maradona's successor.
"That portrait doesn't seem to have existed in the first half, right?" Lin Yu asked his teammates beside him.
"Well, not really."
At this time, Mourinho also came over, he smiled and said: "These fans are also very smart, the reason why they didn't take that thing out in the first half is mainly because they are worried that we are ahead, and we can't get over the face, and we also smear the king of the ball and their gods." ”
"Hey, what does it mean to take it out now is not afraid?"
"It's up to you." Jose Mourinho smiled and walked to the dugout.
Lin Yu was still standing there, he suddenly stretched out his finger to Maradona on the drawing board, and smiled: "I'm sorry for the football king, although I don't have the honor to compete with the dynasty you forged, but today, you can watch how I trampled Napoli under my feet." ”
As for Higuain, Lin Yu really didn't pay attention to it.
Higuain's ability is really good, he can be regarded as a first-class striker, but he is no longer on the same level as him.
As soon as he said this, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
He looked back and saw that it was Napoli defender Cannavaro.
Despite Cannavaro's age, he can still occupy a main position in Napoli, and his defense is relatively good.
"Young man, don't you be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you say something like that?"
"Do you know Chinese?" Lin Yu asked strangely, what he said just now was said in Chinese, it was completely a subconscious reaction, he thought that no one nearby should be able to understand.
Cannavaro shook his head and said to Lin Yu in English: "No, I don't know Chinese, but I can also see what you want to say, your expressions and movements have betrayed you." ”
In the first half, because of Chelsea's lack of attack, Lin Yu did not play much with the Napoli defenders, and there was almost no play with Cannavaro, so he didn't know what Cannavaro's current level was, and Cannavaro didn't know his level.
"Would you like me to translate it to you in Italian or English?" I'm not afraid to be told what I mean, and in the second half, I'm going to blow you up! Lin Yu smiled, without the slightest respect for the old-timers, or awe, it seemed that in front of his eyes, Cannavaro was an ordinary defender.
"No, your words are enough to make me angry. I'll wait, you're doing well in the Premier League, but when you get to Italy, it's better not to be so sharp, so as not to suffer. ”
"Thank you seniors for reminding me, it's a pity that the juniors are used to being arrogant, and they finally came to the stadium where the king of football once played, and it would be a waste not to take this opportunity to make a big fuss."
"Good! You've got a kind! Cannavaro took one last look at Lin Yu, turned around and returned to his team, and walked to the court with his teammates.
Lin Yu noticed that Higuain also glanced over here, and there was unconvincing in his eyes, it was a taste of challenge!
He smiled and looked at Higuain defiantly, until Higuain turned his head.
"Let's go too, I guess the fans in front of the TV can't wait." Lin Yu also waved his hand to his teammates behind him and stepped onto the São Paulo Stadium together.
As the second half of the game officially begins, will Mourinho's rhetoric in the dressing room make a difference? (To be continued......)
