Before the Champions League final begins, bookmakers' odds are of course one of the factors many people use to judge who is more likely to win the title.

Judging from the current situation, Real Madrid is still more likely to win the championship, after all, they have created a record of 38 rounds of league wins this season, such brilliant results, even in the game, if you don't read the file repeatedly, it is difficult to do, of course, except for individual games that are particularly good.

Some experts even believe that this season's Champions League final could be one-sided, with Real Madrid likely to win a landslide.

Why?

This is based on Atletico Madrid.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid met Chelsea, and although they were eliminated after two legs, it was only a goal difference, and the two sides were basically evenly matched, and Mourinho's side were able to advance, which can be said to be a fluke.

In the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid finally swept Atletico Madrid 6:2, showing their completely overwhelming strength, so it is not difficult to see that the gap between Real Madrid and Chelsea is still relatively large.

Of course, this indirect comparison is sometimes not very reliable, but it can definitely be used as a reference.

After all, their opponents are the same team, and Chelsea didn't have much advantage even at their home stadium, but Real Madrid was able to beat Atletico Madrid away from home, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what the situation was.

What's more, Chelsea's repeated failures in the Champions League against Real Madrid will not be taken seriously. What's more, Real Madrid this season is stronger than in previous seasons.

Chelsea have been in excellent form in the Premier League. But that doesn't mean he qualifies for Real Madrid.

That's what people on the outside think, and that's the view inside the Chelsea squad. It's also unanimous that everyone understands that this is not going to be an easy game to play. If it is necessary to say that Real Madrid can easily destroy Real Madrid to win the championship in the current situation, it is not self-deception, but pure stupidity.

What's more, Chelsea's head coach is still Mourinho, as the second mentor in Lin Yu's life, Mourinho and Lin Yu are also teachers and friends, so he knows Lin Yu's character very well, and he also understands Lin Yu's terrible things, and he also understands that Lin Yu may be the most difficult opponent he has encountered in his life.

That's right. It's the opponent, not the player.

In Mourinho's view, Lin Yu's role in a team is definitely not just a player, otherwise, no matter how strong his ability is, it is impossible to lead a youth team to win the Copa del Rey and Club World Cup.

The most terrible thing about this person is that he can influence all the players and improve the abilities of all the players.

So in order to find out the situation of Real Madrid, find out Lin Yu's current state. Jose Mourinho has already sent people to lurk in Madrid to observe Real Madrid's training and matches at any time.

He knows Lin Yu well, but that's all past data, and Lin Yu's performance this season is too rebellious. This is much better than his performance in other seasons, and such a crazy Lin Yu must have been carefully investigated.

Jose Mourinho is known as a madman. But like Lin Yu, he is very arrogant in front of people. But in private, he attaches great importance to his opponent.

Lin Yu showed hard training and preparation. Mourinho, on the other hand, is manifested in the detection and study of the enemy, as well as the tactical response.

They all want to be foolproof, so that they can be arrogant in front of others.

It has to be said that Mourinho's investigation is very effective, because he has actually started investigating for a long time, since the beginning of the season, but more often recently.

Is he so confident that his team can reach the Champions League final?

That's right, he's really that confident, and for this person, no matter how prepared he is, it's not too much, even if he is really eliminated, his data can be used again next year, in short, it won't be wasted.

As for whether Real Madrid can enter the final, although it is a bit self-contemptuous, Mourinho also has to say that even if Chelsea cannot qualify for the final, Real Madrid will definitely be able to qualify.

Of course, in addition to letting his scouts help investigate, he also watched and analyzed the games of Real Madrid this season, which may be used, and he will definitely not let it go easily, for him, it may be the last chance to beat Lin Yu.

Because he knew that Lin Yu was going to retire after the end of this season, of course, he could publicize this matter and use it to disturb Real Madrid's military morale, but he didn't do that. The reason is very simple, Lin Yu is his friend, he is his most proud disciple, even if he likes to play conspiracy, he will not play with his favorite disciple.

What's more, is it really possible to win that way?

Maybe in the end, you will make a bad reputation, but you can't beat Real Madrid, which is also a very realistic thing.

……

The London media also used the phrase "London Defense" when commenting on the upcoming match, because this season's Champions League final will be played at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal is also a London team.

The reason why it is said to be the defense of London is because these media know that Chelsea is difficult to be the opponent of Real Madrid under normal circumstances, and it depends on what decent tactical tactics Mourinho can work out.

In the Real Madrid team, including Lin Yu, Gundogan, David. Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Calas, who were all Chelsea players in the past, will naturally not show mercy to their old club this time, which is also the consistent style of Real Madrid.

So this game is not only a duel between the two teams, but also a confrontation between comrades.

Those who stay at Chelsea and those who leave Chelsea want to prove that they are the best, and then the war will be even more exciting.

Jose Mourinho as the manager. All that's left to do is try to help the Chelsea players get some advantage in this competition, and I'm afraid he can do that. That's all.

Unlike Simeone, Mourinho has a very good mentality. Although he said that he wanted to beat Real Madrid to win the championship, deep down he regarded Chelsea as a challenger, which was also a very helpless choice, after all, after Lin Yu joined Real Madrid, the two teams were completely inferior to Chelsea.

At this time, not admitting that you are inferior to others is not a heroic style, but a very stupid approach.

Anyway, no matter how much you value your opponent, others won't laugh at you, not to mention that Mourinho is not the kind of person who is afraid of other people's jokes. So he really has a lot in common with Lin Yu in terms of personality.

Mourinho pointed out in the team's working meeting that in the face of Real Madrid, the first thing that comes to mind should not be goals, but defense!

Although this has almost become a cliché, and he has said it dozens of times, he still has to say that in the face of Real Madrid, don't think about attacking, that is very unrealistic.

Just like when he led Real Madrid and Barcelona to play. The clearest memory is in that first game, when his team lost 5-0 to Barcelona.

Why lose?

He knew best in his heart that it was because Real Madrid had always had the wrong mentality at that time, and they always felt that they should be better than Barcelona. They always can't lower their heads, they want to fight against Barcelona, they want to destroy Barcelona.

But after being scored in the game, I panicked. All of a sudden, it was chaotic, and the final result of the confrontation. It's that kind of tragedy.

Jose Mourinho was standing next to the pitch with a cold face, and it was said that he had deliberately lost to someone else in that game. In fact, who the likes his team to lose, he just wants to verify one thing.

The result failed to verify, and then he resolutely transformed Real Madrid into a team with good defense and strong counterattacks, and because of this, he repeatedly defeated Barcelona, which can be regarded as driving away Real Madrid's terrifying energy against Barcelona, otherwise, Real Madrid would have to be severely suppressed by Barcelona at that time.

Since then, it can be seen that Mourinho is a very pragmatic person, and against a team stronger than him, he will definitely not do anything because of the problem of face, because of what others say.

He doesn't care if others scold his team for shrinking tactics and buses, as long as he wins, it doesn't matter if you scold him, because no matter how others scold, it's an honor. But it's a shame to lose and be praised.

Today's Real Madrid is obviously stronger and more fearsome than Barcelona in the past, and Mourinho has no choice but to face the enemy as a weaker and adopt his tactics of defeating the strong with the weak.

To put it bluntly, that's putting the bus.

Who has the best bus in this football world, Mourinho said that he is second, I am afraid that no one dares to say that he is first.

Their bus tactics have also caused Real Madrid a lot of suffering, so this is the only way to make them weaker than strong.

It may be ugly, but it's better than being brutalized like Atletico Madrid.

In fact, such a decision is not easy for Mourinho now, after all, he now wants to build Chelsea into a team with beautiful football, and in the Premier League, his beautiful Chelsea is widely recognized.

To be able to play the same beautiful combination as Arsenal, but also have Chelsea's iron-blooded defence, such a team, is enviable and feared.

This kind of praise is not easy for Mourinho, so that he has to change back to the previous bus tactics all of a sudden, in fact, he is unwilling, but for the victory of the team, for the Champions League championship, he can only endure the pain.

Whether face is important or results are important, Mourinho chose results here.

He doesn't expect to be able to settle the game in 90 minutes, so Mourinho has been working on two things this season, one is the fitness of the players and the other is the ability to take penalties.

That's right, he wants to drag out extra-time and drag into the penalty shoot-out, even if he doesn't score a single goal in the official match, he will beat Real Madrid in the penalty shoot-out.

Lin Yu is very powerful, and there are many excellent players in Real Madrid, but in the penalty shootout, Lin Yu played a negligible role, and the level of the two teams could be quickly leveled.

As for the ability to save penalties, it is clear that Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is more capable than Mignolet.

In terms of ability, Mignolet may not be bad, but saving penalties does not have much to do with overall ability, it is a special skill. (To be continued......)
