The Era of Emerald

ps: In the new week, I hope everyone will support me a lot, thank you~

"Don't tell me, Tony, you plan to hire an assistant coach from Barcelona?" Karin couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard Zhuang Mingge's thoughts, and said, "What's so good about this Mourinho that you should value him so much?"

"Don't underestimate his ability. This Mourinho is by no means simple. He can change from a mere translator to his chief assistant coach in the old Robson's five years. Do you think he can be mediocre? "

"From what you said, it seems that this Mourinho is really a good talent." Karin turned her head and vaguely guessed Zhuang Mingge's plan, "Donnie, do you want him to enter Florence? Coaching staff, follow Capello to learn the experience of coaching the team?"

"That's right, I really want to bring him to Florence." Zhuang Mingge nodded, affirming Karin's guess, "With Mourinho's learning ability, after coming to Florence, he will definitely be able to be by Capello's side. I have learned enough things; as for the difficulty of poaching... Barcelona coach Van Gaal is not an easy person to get along with. Although Mourinho now has the title of assistant coach, he is working as a translator. I believe he is also quite dissatisfied with Van Gaal in his heart."

"If this is the case, then as long as we do a good job with Barcelona in advance, I believe they should not mind us taking away an assistant coach who has no status in the team."

To be honest, for Mourinho, the most prominent head coach in later generations, Zhuang Minge certainly deliberately recruited him under his command.

First of all, although Mourinho emphasizes defense, he is not conservative. He can often be seen fighting his opponents when the team is in adversity. This is quite in line with Zhuang Mingge's appetite.

Secondly, what Mourinho pursues is pragmatism, which is quite consistent with the style of Fiorentina under the training of the two head coaches Ranieri and Capello.With Mourinho, in case Capello leaves Fiorentina's coach position in the future, Zhuang Mingge doesn't have to worry about the candidate for the coach!

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge's idea is to first recruit Mourinho from Barcelona to serve as Fiorentina's assistant coach, let him learn experience and tactical knowledge from Capello's side, and prepare for the position of Capello's successor in the future.

As for why Zhuang Mingge is so sure that Capello will definitely leave Fiorentina, the reason is very simple, that is Capello's AC Milan background!

Although Capello left Milan in anger because of Berlusconi's unrestrained speech, it is undeniable that it was AC Milan and Berlusconi who gave him sufficient trust when he was still the coach of the youth team at that time. Unknown, he took over the king's division left by Saki.This kind of kindness is enough for Capello to go back and help when Milan is in trouble!

Therefore, recruiting Mourinho in advance, on the one hand, is to allow this practical "madman" to learn more skills from Capello, a master of defense and counterattack. After all, in terms of tactical knowledge, Italy's foundation is still It must be better than that of other countries, otherwise it is impossible for a coach like Benitez to go to Italy to study in his spare time; Capello resigned from Fiorentina, and the unknown Mourinho could successfully take over power in Fiorentina as Capello's assistant coach without causing too much criticism.

In the case of the head coach leaving, it is a very common situation in football to be replaced by an assistant coach or youth team coach in the team, and many people have taken this opportunity to play a world of their own.For example, Capello who succeeded Sacchi, Bosque who succeeded Toshack, and Liverpool's "boot room" tradition.

Just when Zhuang Mingge was thinking about how to successfully poach Mourinho without touching Barcelona's resistance, the two teams on the field were already playing inextricably.

Originally, Van Gaal thought that there was a frontcourt attack line of "Rivaldo-Enrique-Figo" created by himself behind him, but he never expected that Capello's four-back tactic would make him The offensive routine is almost completely blocked!

With Tomasi's defense, Zambrotta can completely withstand the joint impact of Rivaldo and Baljuan; on the other side of the court, Figo and Ferrer's offense is also blocked by Carlos and David. The two of them have repeatedly succeeded in strangling.

Regarding how to defend Barcelona's side attack, Capello has clear instructions: they can let them break through the side as much as they want, but if they want to cut inside to complete the attack, then there is only one sentence, this way will not work!

Capello's move is obviously bullying Barcelona's lack of height in the attack line. Even if Figo sent a cross, no one in Barcelona can compete with Nesta or Ferrara in the penalty area.Although Rivaldo has a height of 187cm, the Brazilian was restricted by Van Gaal to the wing. The limitation of position made it difficult for him to rush to the penalty area in time to compete for high-altitude balls.

In this way, under the extremely targeted defense of Fiorentina players, Barcelona's offense seemed to be full of thunder and rain.Sonny Anderson on the front line is only a second-rate striker, and he can still show off his prestige in Ligue [-], but when he faced the world's top central defender combination of Ferrara and Nesta, the Brazilian striker was completely discouraged.And with Sony Anderson invisible on the field and lack of support, Luis Enrique, who was in a tight siege, naturally couldn't exert his due power in the face of Di Biagio's defense.

And with these three full-time defensive midfielders on the court, Redondo's wide-range running ability and excellent team awareness are finally fully displayed in the eyes of the fans, and the Argentines in the white away jersey of Fiorentina are full. Running across the field, he repeatedly appeared in every corner of the midfield to assist his teammates to resist Barcelona's attack. Even Guardiola, who organized the attack near the center circle, could not escape the fate of being harassed by Redondo.

At the same time, on the offensive end, the Argentine midfielder was able to repeatedly send precise long passes to Vieri and Ronaldo on the front line, leading Fiorentina to play a sharp and quick counterattack.

Under this tactic, Vieri's strength and Ronaldo's speed advantage are fully reflected, making the Barcelona defense led by Cotto and Nadal scrambled.

One side continued to attack in vain, while the other side was on the defensive most of the time, but every counterattack put huge pressure on the opponent's gate. The result was naturally obvious.

When Merck blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Fiorentina, which only had 37% of the ball, led Barcelona [-]-[-]!
