Chapter Eighty-Five: Mourinho's Decision, Use Magic to Bombard Magic [Ask for Subscription!] 】

Guardiola looked helplessly at the electronic scoreboard that was frozen at the moment because of the end of the game.

1-1, home team Granada in front, away team Barcelona in the back.

Granada, who only equalised in the 88th minute of the second half, took advantage of a set-piece opportunity, and went crazy!

The Granada players and coaching staff on the bench rushed onto the pitch with excitement!

Their home stadium, the Stade Carmenez, was even more jubilant at the moment, and the fans in Granada roared excitedly at the Barcelona players on the field!

And look at the excited, hideous, and passionate home team fans around them with red faces.

The Barcelona players are tired.

Not only was the opponent put on a bus for a whole time of physical fatigue, but also mentally exhausted and ashamed.

Because they were held to a draw by a team who are currently only third from bottom in the league.

Or in the way of being flattened.

In the end, the kind that didn't even have enough time to launch a full-scale offensive again to overtake the score was drawn!

If you want to talk about the mistakes made in the game, then there are many main players in the Barcelona team who have something to say.

Sanchez may blame himself for being too casual with his one-on-one strike in the first half and failing to extend the score further.

Pedro could probably blame himself for forcing himself in the second half when he could have passed the ball to Villa and let him push the empty net.

With that goal early, Granada's hopes of an equaliser may have been dashed.

Alves could also blame himself for not keeping a look at opposition striker Uche from a final set-piece.

If he had kept an eye on Uche, the opposition would not have grabbed a header and there would have been no follow-up Granada defender Mainz's equalizing goal.

Yes, everyone will reflect and regret in time when they drop the chain again and are forced to draw by their opponents.

But what the first three lessons taught them is that they still can't remember them.

When Messi returned to the player's tunnel in disappointment, a pair of stubborn eyes that refused to admit defeat suddenly appeared in his mind.

And that sentence that made him feel uncomfortable when he thought about it now.

"I can lose to you today, Leao, but the winner today will only be Real Madrid! And I'll drag you until the last minute, the last second! ”

Leon's words echoed in Messi's mind, and at the last moment he stepped into the player's tunnel, Messi also sighed silently.

He probably knows why Barcelona is always forced to draw by stubborn opponents.

After winning too many championships, they have gradually lost this spirit of fighting for their lives.

Playing a tailwind, there is nothing wrong with Barcelona now.

But when the situation is not smooth, their tenacity is loosened one step ahead of their opponents.

I thought of the Real Madrid team in the Spanish Super Cup, and the figure who would always grit his teeth and chase after him several times in the second leg.

For the first time, Messi had some thoughts in his mind that the result would be bad for Barcelona.

And Pep Guardiola, who thinks more than he thinks, will already start to be anxious.

Can they still overwhelm Real Madrid in direct dialogue?

※※※

"We're going to beat Barcelona this season! Whether it is in terms of strength or psychology, in the sixteenth round of the league, we have to give them the heaviest blow at home!

This is our biggest league game of the season, stretching the difference to more than 10 points in the six-point game and letting them collapse in terms of morale!

Therefore, before this round of the league starts, we must maintain the lead against Barcelona in the league, even if we can't win all of them to the fifteenth round, we can't lose easily! ”

Mourinho gave the post-match coaching staff a brief indication of the importance of the next few league games.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet in the 16th round of La Liga this season.

During this period, Real Madrid will play against Real Sociedad, Valencia, Atletico Madrid and other hard bones in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga.

One of these teams is counted as one, and they are not easy to play, and Atletico Madrid naturally seizes the opportunity to find Real Madrid unhappy.

But in order to pressure Barcelona to make further mistakes, Mourinho did not have much to do.

can't be slowed down, at this time, that is to give Barcelona a chance to breathe and recover.

Jose Mourinho knows what a terrifying opponent he is facing.

La Liga three in a row, during which they also won the Champions League twice, this group of Barcelona players and Pep Guardiola know too well how to achieve the final victory and play the good wind.

Once they have the advantage of beating Real Madrid in the league, it will be like last season, and they will have suppressed Real Madrid until death after gaining the advantage!

So Mourinho doesn't want to let it, and he can't let it!

"In any case, a draw is already the worst we can accept before the game against Barcelona, and if we lose here, Barcelona will have one less shackle.

If you are trapped, you will trap them, and when the rope is in our hands, we must hold on tightly, desperately! ”

"Understood!"

Mourinho had a meeting with the members of the coaching staff and decided on the operational ideas for the next few rounds of the league, and soon conveyed the tactical ideas to the players of the first team of Real Madrid.

This is a clear way to tell all the players in Real Madrid's first team that they have to give their all for the next league and be prepared to sacrifice their stats.

If you put it last season and before, there will definitely be different voices in the Real Madrid team.

But now, in front of Jose Mourinho, who has already managed to lead Real Madrid to victory over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final and now leads them to an eight-point lead in the league.

Real Madrid's superstars have expressed their support without any objections.

To put it bluntly, when the team has been in the winning cycle, those few grievances can be conceded in the face of victory.

As long as the current Real Madrid continues to soar on all fronts and does not encounter major defeats, then no star will jump out against Mourinho.

Li Ang, who was standing in the team, was naturally very supportive of Uncle Bird's decision-making and decision-making.

After all, he had witnessed the establishment and collapse of the three dynasties of the Barcelona Dream.

Now that he is living through this period firsthand, he knows that Mourinho is right and can adapt to Mourinho's so-called "high-pressure" management style, so his attitude is very clear.

As for other changes that might happen in the future, he didn't want to think about it now.

Besides, he just wanted to break his head, and he couldn't care so much now.

Grasp the moment, fight for a championship, that is, earn one, do your best, and have a clear conscience.

And this season's Real Madrid chance is really big, Li Ang doesn't believe that with one more self, Real Madrid can finally fall in front of that damn penalty!

Several championships are promising, so you must prepare in advance and seize the opportunity.

At least, in the games he can play, he will try until the last moment, in the truest sense of the word!

The whole Real Madrid team, which has made sufficient psychological preparations and unified tactical ideas, has fully devoted themselves to the next preparation training.

In the eleventh round of the league, Real Madrid's main players went to San Sebastian to challenge Real Sociedad.

As one of the two famous tough bones in the Basque Country, Real Sociedad has always been a team that has a headache for both teams at the sight of Real Sociedad.

Barcelona were held to a 2-2 draw by Real Sociedad in the third round of La Liga this season.

The Real Madrid players after that game all looked at the tactical highlights in the review meeting.

It can only be said that Real Sociedad's big action of scrambling confrontation and lethal tactical fouls have left a deep impression on Real Madrid's superstars.

At that time, Leon felt that the team might have to be governed by Everton in the Premier League.

Let them have a battle between "iron and blood" and "iron and blood", Real Sociedad knows that it hurts, and maybe this style of play will be more restrained.

It's a pity that Li Ang can only think about it, and in reality, Real Society can't wait for another "iron-blooded" team to treat them.

On the contrary, Real Madrid had to feel the tough style test of the social brother first.

If you can withstand it, then it will be easy to talk about the games between Sevilla and Atletico Madrid in the future.

can't stand it, and it's even worse to see that if there is a player reduction, then Real Madrid will be too uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mourinho made a tactical decision in advance.

In the face of Real Sociedad, Mourinho does not plan to follow the conventional path and play attacking football like Barcelona.

He's going to use magic against magic!

At 9 p.m. on October 29, in the midst of an unusually strong boo at the Anoeta Stadium.

Mourinho, who directly put on a four-five-half pitch to shrink the starting formation, did not have the slightest psychological burden.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest, stood on the turf on the sidelines, and calmly greeted the middle fingers and sarcastic invectives of nearly 30,000 Real Sociedad fans!

But Real Sociedad manager Philippe Montagnier frowned.

He still underestimated Mourinho's strong anti-pressure mentality, and also underestimated Mourinho's desire to win the game!

Barcelona couldn't pull down before, and let go of playing against them at their home stadium, and finally got bruised by their lethal fighting tactics.

In this game, Philippe Montagnier wanted to replicate the tactical style of play when he played against Barcelona.

But now Real Madrid not only pulled down the face of the giants, but also put their posture low enough, which really made him uncomfortable.

"This madman who doesn't have the grace of a wealthy family!"

scolded Mourinho in his heart, who didn't seem to care about the pressure of public opinion, and Philippe Montagnier could only signal his players to make an offensive test first.

As a result, it's okay not to be tempted, but as soon as it was tempted, the players of Real Sociedad suddenly felt as disgusted as eating flies!

In the first minute of the opening minute, Real Sociedad midfielder Xavi Prieto just received a pass from his teammate and advanced to the Real Madrid half, and Leon decisively got close to him and tangled with him.

Harvey Prieto didn't care at first, and kept protecting the ball with small movements to seek the response of his teammates.

But in the next second, Li Ang directly "recklessly" made a steal.

The ball didn't catch it, but it hooked his calf and tripped him to the ground!

The referee's whistle blew immediately, giving Real Sociedad a set-piece near the halfway line.

Leon acted as if nothing had happened, didn't care about his foul, and turned around and left.

Harvey Prieto glared hard at Leon before sending a quick set-piece.

The Real Sociedad players hadn't reacted yet, thinking that Leon's opening tackle was a little too positive.

But two minutes later, when the Málaga striker Carlos Vela was in possession of the ball, he was also brought down on the touchline by Las Diarra.

All the Real Sociedad players reacted.

Real Madrid are going to play their "logging" tactics!

The boos at the Anoeta stadium grew louder and louder.

But Mourinho smiled, laughed happily, and at the same time looked a little hideous!

Today he fielded a somewhat "deformed" set of five midfielders.

Las Diarra, Leon, Alonso, Nacho, and a forward to central midfielder on Khedira!

Some commentators introduce this set of formations and say that it is 451, some say 4231, and some say 4411.

But whatever they want to introduce it, whatever they say.

Because after the five midfielders were discharged, Mourinho did not think about playing the usual tactical routine with Real Sociedad in the first half.

The only way to deal with magic is magic, and in the same way, the best way to deal with the logging team is to cut first!

Doesn't Real Sociedad like to interrupt their opponents' attacking organisations and then win in a broken rhythm?

Then Real Madrid also played this game today.

Harder, dirtier?

Today's Real Madrid is not a high-flying galaxy battleship, and you play the same, highlighting a hard hit!

Real Sociedad seem to feel offended by their tough name.

The midfielders of their two defenders quickly went into a midfield clash with Real Madrid.

But Nacho, who was also changed from a defender to a back midfielder, did not clubbed the other party at all in this regard, and he and Leon also decisively went up!

The increasingly fierce scramble scene made the reporters on the sidelines feel a sore tooth.

At this time, the Barcelona players, who had finished the game ahead of schedule and simply watched the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad in the stadium conference room, also looked at each other.

"If Real Madrid plays with us in the sixteenth round of the league, how will we deal with it?"

Keita asked dryly, but no one would respond to him.

Iniesta and Xavi glanced at each other, and both saw jealousy in each other's eyes.

It's not that they're afraid that Real Madrid will really play lethal tactics against them at home when the time comes, and the La Liga referee won't allow such a scene to appear too much in the national derby.

What they are afraid of is Real Madrid's current style of play that can completely pull down face.

And their mentality of the game.

The sacrificial mentality of being able to give up one's own data for the sake of victory!
