magic coach

Van Gaal believed that Alkmaar would also play defense at home, and then he started to do targeted training in this way, but at this time, assistant coach Mourinho put forward different opinions.

right!This assistant coach Mourinho is the famous madman later, the Portuguese Jose Mourinho who claimed to be the second god.The 37-year-old Mourinho was born in Setubal, Portugal, and his father, Felix Mourinho, is a former Portugal goalkeeper.

Due to the influence of his father, Mourinho liked football since he was a child.Unlike his father, Mourinho played midfield on the pitch.Mourinho grew up in the Rio Avi youth training camp, and he occasionally represented the team in the Portuguese second-tier league in the 8081 season. In the summer of 81, Frakes became the coach of Rio Avi, and Mourinho got more opportunities to play because of his father's nepotism.During his two years at Rio Avi, Mourinho scored 16 goals in 2 appearances.

Frakes switched to Berenices, another Portuguese second-tier team, in the 8283 season, and Mourinho also followed his father's transfer.In this season, the madman scored 16 goals in 2 appearances.But because Frakes was fired at the end of the season, Mourinho was also purged by Berenices.Frakes has been unemployed for a full 11 years after losing his job. Mourinho, who lost his umbrella, couldn't even make it to the second-tier league.From 83 to 85, Mourinho played for the Portuguese third-tier league team Sesimbra. He scored 35 goal in 1 appearances.In 85-87, Mourinho played for the Portuguese fourth-tier team Comosio Industrial and Commercial Team. The madman scored 27 goals in 8 appearances.That is, in the Comosio Industrial and Commercial Team, the 24-year-old Mourinho hung up his boots ahead of schedule and took further coaching courses.

In Mourinho's playing career, the word "tragedy" is not enough to describe his downfall, but his decisive decision made the world football lose a crappy player, but added a great coach.It's just that when the 27-year-old Jiang Mu was already famous all over the world, the 37-year-old Mourinho was just an assistant coach.

Mourinho took managerial stints at Amadora and Setúbal before taking over his first high-profile job in football: working for Bobby Robson at Sporting Lisbon.At the beginning, he served as the translator of the old Robson, and then gradually got involved in the team's management affairs.The old Robson went to Porto, and Mourinho followed. The old Robson joined Barcelona, ​​and he brought the very capable Mourinho to Barcelona.When the old Robson left Barcelona, ​​Robson recommended Mourinho to his successor Van Gaal when he left.Mourinho remained at the Nou Camp as an assistant to Van Gaal.

More than ten years of assistant and translation work have greatly improved Mourinho's knowledge and ability. Even the arbitrary Van Gaal also admitted that Mourinho is better than him in tactics and certain aspects. We must listen to Mourinho's opinions, and even let Mourinho direct some less important games.

In this game against Alkmaar, Mourinho's job is to observe Alkmaar's training, make a video, and then participate in the formulation of training plans and tactics.

After observing Alkmaar during this period, Mourinho believes that Van Gaal's judgment is only partially correct, because Jiang Mu may change his style of play and formation according to the opponent's situation in the game, and Mourinho believes that Barcelona's The single midfielder Guardiola is a bit thin. Enrique inserts too frequently, which affects the defense in the middle. Cocu can only defend, and the organization of the offense is too poor. If Alkmaar strangles Guardiola, Barcelona's offense will suffer. There will be danger, because these talented forwards in front cannot touch the ball.

However, Van Gaal believes that Mourinho's suggestion is based on fantasy, because the opponent can't contain Guardiola. The 29-year-old Guardiola is at his peak, with excellent offense and defense, and excellent dribbling skills. Both long and short passes are good. Even if the opponent presses Guardiola, Guardiola can use medium and long passes to organize the attack.If the opponent is really eyeing Guardiola, Van Gaal thinks he still has Harvey as a surprise soldier, so Van Gaal rejected Mourinho's suggestion.

However, Van Gaal accepted Mourinho's other suggestion. He also believed that Jiang Mu's tactical command ability is very strong. To put it bluntly, Van Gaal has never seen a stronger on-the-spot command ability than Jiang Mu. Yes, Van Gaal appreciates Mourinho's tactical ability, but he thinks Jiang Mu is better than Mourinho.

If he did not make sufficient preparations before the game, Van Gaal thought he would not be able to compete with Jiang Mu in the game, and compete with a guy who changed three or four tactics in a game. Isn't this asking for headaches?

Mourinho was a reminder at first, and later he publicly debated with Van Gaal at the team meeting, but Van Gaal refused to accept it. Mourinho was angry at Van Gaal's arbitrariness, but he was just an assistant coach. It is equivalent to a staff officer. If the head coach does not listen, there is nothing he can do.

The two teams not only competed secretly, but also engaged in psychological warfare in the media.

Jiang Mu knew that Van Gaal was a domineering person, he also knew the arrogance of the Barcelona people, and he knew the hatred between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but he was interviewed by the pro-Real Madrid "Aspen" and specifically picked on Barcelona. place said.

"Barcelona is a giant, this is already recognized, I can't deny it, but their Champions League trophy is too little, there is only one, and their record in the Champions League is also a bit shabby, the final can be beaten by AC Milan 4:0 .We are not afraid of them, and we will not put down the iron bucket formation, I believe we can kill them at home squarely."

"Van Gaal is a very good coach. He has a brilliant record in Ajax, but Van Gaal can't defend. A team that can't defend will not go far in the Champions League, no matter how many he has. In addition, Van Gaal is too authoritarian in the team, which will cause dissatisfaction among the players and prevent them from listening to correct opinions."

Van Gaal was very annoyed, he was not angry with this kind of saliva, he was angry that a brat like Jiang Mu dared to teach him publicly and talk about his own weaknesses. Jiang Mu.

"Whether I can defend does not need a rookie who has just coached for two years to point out, because he still doesn't understand what football is, so what if I don't know how to defend, and still win AC Milan with a clean sheet. I can also win this game Advance without defense, offense is the best defense.

"The most important thing for a head coach is to have his own football philosophy, and then instill this philosophy in the players and show it on the court, instead of listening to correct opinions, those are trivial tricks."

Although Van Gaal did not listen to Mourinho's suggestion, Mourinho still hoped to help his team. When interviewed by reporters, the future madman attacked Jiang Mu like this.

"He just won a Eredivisie championship and a Dutch Cup. There are too many people who have achieved such a record. The reason why Jiang Mu has such a big reputation is mainly because of the media, because he is Chinese and he is of yellow race. He has received a lot of attention, so he has become famous. In terms of real talent and learning, he is far inferior to Eriksson, Gretz, and even Skibe who were defeated by him.

If there is any suspense in this quarter-elimination match, then coach Van Gaal not only hopes to win, but also wants to win beautifully, and it is definitely not good to think so much. This is also Alkmaar's last chance.If I were to form the formation, Jiang Mu would have no chance at all. "

If a new head coach was ruined like this by an assistant coach of the opponent, he would definitely attack Mourinho, but Jiang Mu didn't. He knew that Mourinho would attack the opponent, and he would talk to each other. He didn't stay with him, and now that Mourinho is an assistant coach, he is not on the same level as him, so Jiang Mu didn't fight back against Mourinho.

Jiang Mu was attacked by Mourinho, a small assistant coach. The players and coaches of Alkmaar were very angry. In their hearts, Jiang Mu was a perfect idol. Jiang Mu kept silent, and assistant coach Lin Na Zhou opened his mouth and fought back.

"Is this Mr. Mourinho crazy about wanting to be famous? Jiang Mu doesn't want to argue with him when he talks like this, but I can't see it. A champion of the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup is nothing, but It depends on how it was obtained and what kind of team obtained it. Coach Jiang Mu led a newly promoted horse to win the double championship. Can this be done by ordinary coaches? Can Mourinho do it? Van Gaal Does the coach dare to say that it can be done?"

The captain of the team, Van Bommel, also satirized Mourinho's words without thinking through his brain, "Please Mourinho's assistant coach, please think more about what he said. Coach Jiang is a real capable faction, and he definitely did not rely on media touts. If Neo is not convinced, he can replace Coach Van Gaal and try his hand at it."

Mourinho knew that it was useless to fight a war of words with small players like Lin Nazhou and Van Bommel, so he still clung to Jiang Mu. "Since people in Alkmaar say that Jiang Mu is a powerful faction, and he didn't rely on the media and fans to tout his fame, then does he dare to fight against Barcelona in this game, dare to fight against Barcelona as he said? Such a pseudo-rich family will have a decisive battle between men, instead of just fighting against the belly."

Jiang Mu was very disgusted with Mourinho's unrelenting attack, but he lowered his stance and never gave his opponent any room to talk.I just mentioned a simple sentence when I was interviewed by UEFA official website, saying: "Alkmaar is already the most fattened team in the quarter-finals. Where did Mr. Mourinho ask me to find the fattest team?" .”

Jiang Mu's fans were outraged at Mourinho's humiliation of Jiang Mu, and expressed that they wanted to show Mourinho a little bit of color. Some even ran outside the Nou Camp to demonstrate.

Van Gaal was not interested in the war of words. Seeing Jiang Mu's fans raging, he was worried that something would happen in the Netherlands. He was still a Dutchman after all, so he stopped Mourinho from attacking Jiang Mu. At the press conference, he expressed his willingness to fight Jiang Mu in any way.

And Jiang Mu also readily expressed that it is a great honor to play a quarter-final with Barcelona, ​​and he believes that this game will leave a deep impression on fans all over the world.
