I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

That morning, the new Liverpool team held its first training camp.

Mourinho is in a very excited state. After all, Liverpool is the team he wants to coach most. The football philosophy of this team perfectly matches his tactical philosophy to a certain extent, and as a top club, Liverpool as a whole The strength foundation of the team is also very good, and the players' abilities do not require much training. As long as they practice new tactics, they will be ready to play in no time.

And more importantly, Mourinho has the most popular star in the world-Gu Ran.

The training in the morning focused on physical recovery and familiarity with teammates, without any emphasis on intensity or tactics.

Gu Ran was also very active in training. The whole team was beaming with joy and they were very harmonious with each other.

At noon, everyone ate together in the restaurant. The new coach Mourinho did not make any special arrangements, but ate in the restaurant with the players.

After resting, the afternoon training gradually began to get back on track, but the intensity was still very low.

After all, everyone has just returned to the training ground from a long vacation.

The training intensity on the second day was slightly increased, but it was more about the players adapting to each other.

The training intensity on the third day has reached half of the usual training intensity, and Mourinho's new tactics have been added.

Mourinho's tactical style is defensive counterattack. Of course, although it is defensive counterattack on the surface, in fact, Mourinho really emphasizes offense. The so-called defensive counterattack is just for better offense.

The defensive counterattack tactic is also consistent with Liverpool's usual tactical style, but the difference is that Mourinho will rarely use the now popular full-court press and high defense, because this requires forward players and front line defense. Offensive players spend most of their energy on defense, which will distract their offensive power. Mourinho, whose core is offense, will not do this. Mourinho will retreat more quickly and proactively. Defend into your own half, giving the opposing team room to dribble the ball forward, but try your best to limit the opposing team's space to play the ball in key areas.

To put it more bluntly, it is to fight positional warfare, which is to form an effective position by retreating quickly, so that the opponent cannot make a quick attack or penetrate.

If this kind of positional warfare of rapid retreat is used to the extreme, it is to set up a bus.

It can be said that Mourinho's tactical process is not good-looking. Compared with Guardiola, another peerless coach, Mourinho's tactical process is simply ugly, but Mourinho's tactics are very practical.

Mourinho doesn't even need extremely capable players to bring the team's final results to a very good level.

And when Mourinho has a big name and a king bomb, it will be even more awesome.

Starting from the third day, the Liverpool team gradually entered the process of adapting to Mourinho's tactics, and the whole team showed great enthusiasm and ambition.

Soon, after more than half a month of training, the Liverpool team basically looked brand new!

Chelsea's new head coach is Di Matteo. The previous head coach Ancelotti has taken over the coaching staff of Real Madrid and became the head coach of Real Madrid. Di Matteo was Chelsea's meritorious service in the 90s. Midfielder, he was also An’s assistant coach when he was the head coach at Chelsea.

Ancelotti's departure was a bit sudden. Chelsea did not expect that after winning the Champions League, not only did they fail to attract the world's top player Gu Ran, but they also lost Ancelotti as a meritorious head coach.

To be honest, Di Matteo was a good player when he was a player, but he is still far from good as a coach, but there is no way. Now Chelsea has a vacuum of head coach candidates, and Chelsea Club can only let Di Matteo Special Olympics, the assistant coach, came to help.

However, although Di Matteo is a novice coach, Chelsea's players are still very good, especially captain Lampard, who is equivalent to half a head coach.

With this configuration, Chelsea just won the Community Shield with Southampton with a score of 3:1.

Therefore, Di Matteo was quickly corrected by Chelsea Club. From the beginning as interim head coach, he was officially promoted to head coach and signed a two-year contract.

Of course, historically Di Matteo was a very "short-lived" head coach.

Di Matteo was officially rehabilitated in August, and was dismissed by Chelsea Club who lost patience in November of the same year.
