Chapter 146: The Temper of a Madman, the Explosion of Public Opinion! [Ask for subscription!] 】
'To be honest, I've not recovered a little bit until now, we did give our best today, me and my players, so it's a shame for us.
"Defeat or glory? No, no, a loss is a loss, we have to face up to the gap between the best team in the current game and Jose Mourinho has done a great job at Real Madrid, he has created a historic team, just like Pep Guardiola did a few years ago. ”
"We are confident that we can win the next two group games, and the two group games against Real Madrid are not complete failures for us, and I believe my players can draw more confidence from them."
"Of course, of course I hope to play against Real Madrid again! It's best to be on the stage of the Champions League final next summer, and I hope that Leon won't behave so crazy anymore~
”
At the post-match press conference, Klopp, who had already collected his mood, didn't look too disappointed.
Even if Dortmund's points situation is not optimistic, Klopp is clearly confident that he can successfully qualify for the final two rounds of the group stage.
Of course, no reporter at this would think that he was feigning his composure.
Borussia Dortmund have shown that they have what it takes.
In these two legs of the competition, Dortmund only lost to Real Madrid by a small goal, and the tactical style and performance of the players left a deep impression on countless fans.
And in terms of exposure, Dortmund's players and Klopp can be said to have made a lot of money.
It is no exaggeration to say that after playing the two group games with Real Madrid, Dortmund's strength rating in major media and newspapers will at least go up a notch.
Perhaps, Ajax and Manchester City fans, who watched both Group D group games tonight, will also be happy and headache.
They are indeed not out of the tournament yet, and there is still hope of qualifying
But facing Real Madrid and such a Borussia Dortmund team in the last two rounds, can they really seize the opportunity to complete the battle of redemption?
Such doubts may continue to haunt fans of both teams until the Champions League resumes on 21 November.
At that point, the result of a match may give them a boost in confidence.
Or just go straight to hell.
This chaotic group situation is getting more and more interesting.
※※※
Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund made the front page headlines of the European sports press the next morning.
The hearty head-to-head battle and the surprise that Dortmund brought to the fans immediately became the focus of the football world.
In contrast, Real Madrid only set off the initial wave of high tide of public opinion, and the subsequent discussions related to them fell silent.
In addition to Real Madrid's own supporters, they are also celebrating that the team has advanced to the top of the group.
The rest of the neutral fans seem to be more interested in Borussia Dortmund's performance.
There is no way, since last year, after overturning Barcelona several times, Real Madrid has successfully climbed to the top of the traffic of football public opinion step by step.
Real Madrid have won so much and beaten so many strong opponents that neutral fans are tired of watching it.
There is no unexpected strength, and there is no unexpected stability.
Isn't this the same as Barcelona a few years ago, winning is not news, only losing, especially losing crucial games.
That will rekindle the interest of neutral fans and the carnival of public opinion.
However, judging from Real Madrid's recent performance, at least until the quarter-finals of the Champions League, these fans should have to continue to be disappointed.
After beating Borussia Dortmund hard-to-head, Mourinho was very happy.
Winning is one of the reasons, but the most satisfying thing for him is the overall state of the team.
It's been almost three months since the start of the new season, and the state of the whole Real Madrid team has finally come out!
With the main players not resting enough before the season, Mourinho can only rotate to play double-line games at the beginning of the season, while constantly adjusting the intensity of training.
The previous record is stable, but Real Madrid's coaching staff has never dared to completely put their minds at ease.
This time to give it a go and play with Dortmund is actually a test for the players from the Real Madrid coaching staff.
Fortunately, whether it is offensive firepower or the balance of attack and defense between frequent acceleration of the tempo, Real Madrid's main players have performed very well.
The upper limit exceeded the coaching staff's conservative estimates, and the lower limit was also manageable.
It can be said that this tough battle has re-consolidated the confidence of all the coaches of Real Madrid.
In the future, their preparation work can also be done more confidently.
The goal of the Champions League group stage was achieved ahead of schedule, and the last two rounds of matches can be used for training.
Real Madrid's youngsters and new signings can play the full 180 minutes of two games.
Real Madrid's main players can also return to the weekly league format.
Of course, for Ronaldo, if he wants to play in the remaining Champions League group stage and remains in good physical condition, then the coaching staff will depend on him.
Just like last season, without affecting the team's overall record, Mourinho is strongly supportive of Ronaldo's pursuit of personal data.
He now has a pretty good personal relationship with Ronaldo, not as close as a hardcore descendant of Leon Essien, but he can be regarded as "his own person".
For the current team's record and the stability in the dressing room, Mourinho is still quite satisfied.
It is that Mourinho feels very bad about several Madrid media that seem to be the "mouthpieces" of Real Madrid on the surface, but in fact always add some chaos to the team.
Right now, after Real Madrid qualified for the top spot in the group ahead of schedule, these media outlets did not promote much, calling on fans to continue to rally around the team.
Instead, they published articles that provoked trouble, vigorously "commending" Mourinho's seriousness and respect for Real Madrid's traditions.
What is Real Madrid tradition?
Isn't it just the rhetoric that you want to play offensive football without brains?
Good guys, Galeries Lafayette spoke some time ago, and at this stage he will unconditionally support the work of the head coach.
As a result, the two "rebels" of "Marca Daily" and "As" newspaper turned their heads and jumped out to continue to fry cold rice.
Mourinho has been much less tempered after leading his team to a treble last season.
He also really doesn't want to have any emotional confrontation with the local fans of Real Madrid.
When various Western media vigorously hyped up and criticized him for being too conservative in his tactical arrangement, he did not fight back and ridicule him.
This is really enough to save face, and neither the British media nor the Italian media have received such concessions from him before.
So this time, the move of the two major media in Madrid really annoyed Mourinho.
He is very easy-going in life, and he does not care about the malicious speculation of external public opinion about his personal character.
But when it comes to football, especially when it comes to his tactical philosophy.
Repeated provocations by the media will only force him into the role of a tyrant madman!
In the team's preparation training, Mourinho's mentality is good, and Real Madrid's players actually know the recent trend of public opinion.
But seeing that their manager did not perform abnormally, they also thought that Mourinho would endure it again.
However, on November 10, after watching the pre-match press conference of the 11th round of La Liga attended by Mourinho, all the Real Madrid players were dumbfounded.
Because Mourinho was full of firepower, he sprayed the reporter of "Marca" who deliberately asked him before the game whether he would play offensive football further!
His sharp and direct speech at the press conference also quickly stole the heat that should have belonged to the game, attracting countless fans and media onlookers.
"Stop asking these questions that blurt out without thinking about it! If you think my tactics are wrong, take off your tableau cards and take my place to prove that I'm wrong! ”
"I don't know why these shit-like topics keep getting you guys to report over and over again!"
"We're on our way to our sixth trophy in a month's time, so don't question my training and tactics with your superficial thinking!"
"Maybe I did lead the team to too many championships last season, and if it was a mistake, then I should apologize to you!
I should have lost the Champions League final and the Copa del Rey final last season and won only one league title, so your case is total! ”
"I regret not saying directly that your job is to disrupt Real Madrid's preparations, you are a bunch of traitors! A 100% traitor in the Real Madrid camp! ”
If the two major sports media in Madrid were constantly pouring oil on public opinion, and constantly provoking Mourinho, he was sure that he would not dare to ignite the fire.
Now Mourinho is clearly declaring war on these two major media with practical actions!
Not only did he simply throw out the torch and ignite public opinion, but he even thought that the fire was not burning strong enough, so he personally added more oil to it!
From the perspective of a bystander, there may be many neutral fans who feel that Mourinho scolds happily and is also relieved.
This Nima is about to win the six crowns, and he has to suffer from the so-called backstabbing yin and yang weirdness of his own media, which coach can bear it?
But from the perspective of the players in the Real Madrid team and the club's senior management, it can only be said that it is difficult to top, very TM difficult to top!
When Galeries Lafayette heard the news at a high-level internal meeting, he blurted out a scolding sentence "Crazy!" ”
The Real Madrid players were shocked.
After being shocked, Leon felt normal
This is a mine of public opinion that is destined to explode.
It started in 2011 when Real Madrid fans first sparked a wave of public opinion, with Marca and Ace also attacking Mourinho's tactical style.
This melee of public opinion is inevitable.
Because Mourinho won't change his tactical style at all!
In other words, none of the coaches of their level will easily change their tactical style.
Can you imagine Pep Guardiola changing his temperament and playing defensive counter-attacking football?
In other words, if Bielsa suddenly turns into a determined 1-0 one day, then Mourinho may no longer be stubborn.
It's a pity that none of these assumptions will be true, at least, in 2023 in Li Ang's memory, those famous football coaches are still stubbornly pursuing their own ideal tactical paths.
So it is basically impossible to expect Mourinho to back down again.
In terms of public opinion, it has exploded, and the "Marca" newspaper and the "As" newspaper will definitely not be turtles with shrunken heads, and they will not give up if they are scolded as traitors.
It is foreseeable that some Real Madrid fans who had only temporarily endured their complaints before will also jump out one after another to speak out.
Fans are actually right, it is the nature of every fan to prefer to watch offensive football and beautiful football.
But they all underestimated the toughness in Mourinho's temper.
It's the same as Cristiano Ronaldo's temper.
You go their way, some advice and persuasion are a little more tactful, and they won't mind making some concessions.
But when you choose the hard top way, then they will definitely blow up directly.
The only good news now may be that the players in the Real Madrid squad are shocked and shocked, but they are still on Mourinho's side.
The absence of a conflict of interest, coupled with the same pursuit of the title, has allowed there to be no rift between the Real Madrid players and the coaching staff.
In the 11th round of La Liga after public opinion was ignited, Real Madrid's away game against Levante naturally became the focus of attention of almost all mainstream sports media in Europe.
Yes, not only the Western media, but also the sports media in other European countries are very enthusiastic to pay attention to Valencia, where Levante is at home.
There are faint signs of a split in Real Madrid's local fan base.
While almost all Real Madrid fans certainly prefer to watch attacking football, most of them are aware of Jose Mourinho's importance to the current Real Madrid team.
In the face of the temptation of six crowns and Champions League defense, some dissatisfaction with the game on weekdays can be suppressed.
Therefore, most local Real Madrid fans still choose to firmly support Mourinho.
But there will always be a small number of fans who will be led by the media.
And under the deliberate publicity of other media who only think that the matter is not big enough, the inappropriate statements of this small group of fans will naturally be magnified countless times.
On the day of the game, all kinds of public opinion were pressed on Real Madrid.
To be honest, Lafayette was a little apprehensive.
Even if he was very dissatisfied with Mourinho's "ignorance of the big picture" yesterday afternoon.
But he is still worried that Mourinho and the players in the team will be disturbed by public opinion and play abnormally.
However, after the start of the game, the whole Real Madrid team directly crushed Levante's desire to "pick up cheap" with a solid defense that was almost no different from usual.
I don't know if Mourinho deliberately wanted to slap Marca and Asas in the face again.
Throughout the game, Real Madrid was completely playing defensive counterattacks, and could have simply pressed the attack to directly defeat Levante, but Mourinho didn't.
Leon and Essien, who started today, were the brightest Real Madrid players of the match.
The rhythm of the broken game also saw that many Western media reporters on the sidelines shook their heads helplessly.
Mourinho is deliberately arranging this tactic to show them.
If you can attack Levante and not attack, you have to seize the opportunity to play defensive counterattacks.
And today's excellent form of Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain also helped Real Madrid win the game.
Two solid counter-attacking goals, Real Madrid only won 2-0 in the end, but the game was completely fine, and Levante did not give Levante even a threatening attacking opportunity.
The process and result of the match reassured Galeries Lafayette and a large number of Real Madrid supporters.
But when Mourinho once again ridiculed Marca and Asas after the game, they only cared about newspaper sales and never cared about Real Madrid's results.
Everyone understands that this public opinion dispute will not subside in a short time
In the afternoon, a blind date was arranged, and the foodie didn't dare to disobey, just finished eating, and it would be embarrassing to buckle the toes on the ground.
I coded the first chapter of today with my mobile phone.,It's a lot slower.,I'm really sorry for the big guys.。
This will be a small county town seeing that it is going to rain heavily, and the foodie will find an excuse to slip away, and he will code the second chapter as soon as he goes back!
