Chapter 51: Conclusion
Changing roles is never easy.
Linsen went from a team doctor to a coach, even if he didn't think he was doing badly, but when people really moved the label of head coach from him to the label of team doctor, it was also after he led Malaga to achieve results, and, mind you, not take it off. In this sense, Givens has an advantage that Lin Sen does not have.
Unique advantages.
From player to coach, this is recognized as the "best evolutionary route".
Given's never been a coach, but Linson asked him to speak, thinking about it like letting him start, and it was an opportunity.
Jiwen brewed his wording in his heart, the next game against Real Madrid is offensive or defensive, this question is actually not difficult, because according to the conclusion obtained at this stage of "auditing" the coaching meeting, what Lin Sen wants does not need to be a standard answer, but it must not be a perfunctory answer, the so-called perfunctory, for example, the current question, if Jiwen comes to say that both sides are right, both offensive and defensive, and so on, then, most of the time Lin Sen does not say anything, but he still has to shake his head in his heart.
After a few moments, Givens gave an answer in a deep voice, somewhat unexpectedly to the others.
"I agree with Don."
agrees with Tang Hua, that is, Jiwen believes that the tone of the team should be offense. But you must know that because of Jiwen's identity, several other people originally thought that Jiwen should support the defense.
Could it be that Jiwen is seeing that Tang Hua is already 1-2 behind, so he plans to support Tang Hua?
Lin Sen didn't speak, but quietly waited for Jiwen to continue.
His gaze became more focused, and Jiwen became more uncomfortable, he touched his nose and said.
'Well, I'm not a coach yet, so I can't say that much tactical jargon, but from a player's point of view. The reason for choosing to attack is simple, aren't we lagging behind? β
Hearing Ji Wen's words, Kidd, who was already ready to refute Ji Wen, was stunned for a moment, and actually fell silent, while Dina on the other side pursed her lips thoughtfully, as for Tang Hua, the corner of his rare mouth that was not smiling showed a hint of a smile at this time, Lin Sen noticed Tang Hua's smile, and he could understand why Tang Hua had such a smile.
Leading doesn't have to be defensive, but falling behind must be attacking.
What kind of mindset is this? Some understand the ball emperor sue sΓΉ you. This is the mentality of the fans, because football is not so simple, you can do whatever you want, just like the discussion between several coaches just now, while putting out all kinds of reliable numbers, while giving all kinds of experience, and then no one can convince anyone, because everyone has a point. But sometimes football is that simple.
Lin Sen smiled and nodded to Jiwen. The latter seemed to be a little confused by the strange atmosphere at the moment, and just shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.
At the end of the coaching meeting, Lin Sen gave a final conclusion.
Attack-
April 14, Manchester City Stadium. Sunny.
Over the city stadium, the singing shook the sky.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, the sea of white dominates the stands, and here and now. Sky blue squeezed white into a corner of the side stands, just after the end of the half, when the scoreboard above the main stand. The score is clearly displayed at the moment.
One to zero.
The scorer, Adriano.
way, free kick.
Ten years ago, at the age of 19, Adriano arrived in the Apennines from Flamengo, Brazil, and his first game for Inter Milan was against Real Madrid.
Ten years later, against the same opponents, he did the same thing again, and even scored almost the same goal.
The difference is that this time, he is no longer young.
After the goal, Adriano continued his usual goalscoring action, kissing his fingers and pointing his arms to the sky.
Andy Gray called Adriano's goal a "revenge" for the Brazilians against Mourinho, because it was Mourinho's Inter Milan who had abandoned Adriano. Linson did not intend to speculate whether Adriano's goal really meant "revenge", but "revenge" was not the reason why he "unexpectedly" started Adriano in this game, because he did not feel that Mourinho or Inter Milan were worthy of Adriano.
He just felt that Adriano was more motivated than Suarez for Mourinho and more fearless than Real Madrid and Frecao.
In the second leg, Linson also made several changes compared to the first leg, Adriano was one of them, and Vidal replaced Xavi Martinez as the other and the most successful one in the first half.
There is no need to elaborate on the difference in characteristics between Vidal and Xavi Martinez, the reason why Vidal used it correctly is only because of one thing, what Xavi Martinez failed to do in the last game, Vidal did, that is, Ronaldo's defensive problems. Although in this game, Linson finally changed the left back and let Baines as the starter, but in the entire first half, it was Vidal who broke the ball from Ronaldo's feet the most.
The Chilean midfielder is not dominant in a one-on-one confrontation with Cristiano Ronaldo, but when he joins forces with Baines, it is difficult for Ronaldo to take advantage.
At halftime, Mourinho left the field with a solemn face.
It's impossible for him not to be dignified, 1-0 is a weak score, but for Real Madrid at the moment, it is also a fatal score, because if this score is maintained until the end of the game, then it will be Real Madrid who will be eliminated, because Manchester City still has a fatal away goal in their hands. Therefore, the current shape can be understood as the initiative has reached the side of Manchester City.
As for Adriano, who scored, Mourinho didn't have any special feelings. It's very simple, even if you rewind it a thousand times, Mourinho will say the same thing to Moratti: let him go!
The prodigal son does not change the gold when he turns back, but if he can really turn back so lightly, not to mention the gold, there is too much silver. Therefore, the current Adriano does not have anything to regret Mourinho, and Mourinho has no habit of regretting.
During intermission. Andy Gray chatted with his old partner Richard Guise about a few other matches, two of the four first-leg matchups almost ended the suspense, one was expected and one was unexpected, the former was Barcelona who swept Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 at home, and the latter was the defending champion Inter Milan who lost 2-5 at home to Schalke 04, which means that although the draw results were already known, the winner of this game is now. Nine times out of ten, the opponent in the semi-finals will be Barcelona.
Either Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are getting together, or it's Linson and Pep Guardiola, a pair of new enemies.
As for the other game, United had a slight advantage over Chelsea in the first leg and Andy Gray had just aired the score at half-time in the second leg, and it was still 1-0 and United still leading. Ancelotti, who almost finished the old lord last season, looks like he has been beaten to death by the old lord this season. Of course, for the Premier League, this is a civil war. Although it ensured at least one place in the final four of the Premier League, it still attracted complaints from the English media about UEFA.
Mr. Platini, how many times has this been?
Actually, judging by the schedule. Although UEFA is keen to prevent the emergence of a "one-size-fits-all" situation, it is not impossible that there will be a civil war in the final, but it is very unlikely. Because the top half of the district aside, Manchester City in the lower half, even if they are lucky enough to pass the pass of Real Madrid, what awaits them is Barcelona which is known as unsolvable.
What is on the way forward, Lin Sen naturally knows better than anyone else, but at the moment, there is no difference between one mountain and two big mountains for him, because now, he is in the mountain, and the goal is there, when you can't get around these mountains, it doesn't matter if you go around. Therefore, at the moment, he is the first to retract his gaze and see the road under his feet clearly.
One to zero.
The aggregate score was 2-2, and Manchester City took the initiative.
It's a really nerve-wracking score.
Lin Sen, who returned to the locker room, looked at his watch after watching the highlights and laying out the tactics, and there were still three or four minutes left before the start of the second half, which was not much, but it was enough for him to give an inspirational speech. Kidd, who was standing next to Lin Sen, seemed to be waiting for Lin Sen to speak, there were only forty-five minutes left in the game, maybe the last forty-five minutes, if not at this time, when?
But Kidd's wait was close to three minutes, and it wasn't until the staff knocked on the door to remind him to enter the arena that Lin Sen finally raised his hand and clapped his hands, focusing everyone's attention.
"Guys." Lin Sen's eyes looked around the faces of the players, as if he took a deep breath, and then said word by word, "I don't want to say anything, you know what to do, but remember one thing, I won't comfort anyone to come back next year, because, this sentence will become a habit, and this sentence is not fair to people who can't come again next year!" So, if you're capable of anything, this is your stage! βββ
At the same time as the Manchester City players walked out of the dressing room, in the dressing room on the other side of the city stadium, the Real Madrid players had already come out of the dressing room with solemn faces.
Soon, the two teams converged in the players' tunnel, but there was no "friendly" greeting at the beginning, but their eyes were surprisingly similar.
Focus.
Coincidentally, Lin Sen and Mourinho, who walked out of the dressing room, also met in the passage.
The two with solemn expressions made eye contact, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, but this strange atmosphere quickly disappeared, because after a moment, the two of them seemed to have followed the pause and did not really stop.
There was no smile, no handshake, not even a speech, just a calm that looked eerie but was actually harmonious.
The two walked side by side to the court.
Forty-five minutes to go. (To be continued......)
