Iron Man on the pitch

Mourinho's expression became serious: "Barcelona's forward line is not something that the Spanish team can compete with. Although there are Villa, Barcelona has Messi. Di Maria, who has joined this year, performed very well and directly replaced him. Pedro. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand." As a person who has witnessed the 0:5 event on the original timeline, Li Ling naturally understands Mourinho's concerns. What surprised Li Ling was that Mourinho was really surprised to be sober, which was completely different from his speech at the press conference.

Mourinho shook his head with a wry smile: "Haha, it would be great if Florentino could be as sensible as you."

"What's wrong with him? Did he say he's interfering in the team's tactics?" Li Ling was very distracted. When he was a fan in his previous life, he didn't catch a cold about Florentino. When he became a player, he came here especially. After Real Madrid played football, they didn't feel much about him.

Mourinho looked at Li Ling like a ghost: "How do you know?"

"Ah?" Li Ling didn't expect that he could make the decision just by saying it casually. He was obviously just joking.

"Haha, it turns out you guessed it, it's pretty accurate." Mourinho smiled.

"I was originally going to play a defensive counterattack, relying on Xavi Alonso's long pass, using Cristiano Ronaldo's speed and Benzema's support to counterattack. You are in the middle of support, or with Xavi Alonso Dealing cards in the backcourt, or counterattacking with Ronaldo in the frontcourt."

"But because of the previous series of winning streaks, the management asked us to attack and play against Barcelona." Mourinho put down his water cup and sighed, "Don't I know the players under my command yet? Can it be used Among the midfielders, Moutinho has a balanced offense and defense, but his ability limit is not enough."

Li Ling smiled: "If he heard these words, he would probably be sad."

"Don't interrupt," Mourinho glared at Li Ling, "Fellaini can defend, but the offense is really messy."

"If I didn't buy you at that time, I would buy those rumored players, such as Di Maria, 272, and Khedira, I would be confident that I would play against Barcelona. And the current lineup, if I play, Attack will only cause disconnection between front and back courts. Although Xavi Alonso has a broad vision, his ability to get rid of him is not good, and he cannot connect the entire team in the center."

"Although I am proud of my defensive counterattack style and think my football philosophy is very correct, but after seeing you practicing defense hard at the beginning of the season, I occasionally think about whether I should try it. Study other tactics.”

"If someone mentions Mourinho in the future, he is a master of tactics and can easily use various formations and tactics, it will always sound more comfortable than just a defensive counterattack expert."

Li Ling nodded in agreement. Although he felt inexplicably surprised that the "madman" Mourinho would change because of his inadvertent guidance, he was willing to learn and change. I think the result of the future should not be like the original time and space. That way, it was a bit bad.

"No, coach, why are you here for me?" As she thought about it, Li Ling realized that Mourinho was deliberately talking to him, and it seemed that he had never entered the focus. He would not just sigh at life.

"I hope you will have more activities in the central and midfielder position against Barcelona."

"Is this the case?" Li Ling was puzzled, "Coach, it's fine to just say it normally when you arrange the game before the game. There is no need to remind me specifically, right?"

"You have no objection?" Mourinho was very surprised. "Observant players are generally not willing to undertake defensive tasks too much. Although you are different from them and are willing to defend, my request will change your field. Position, I know you still want to attack in your heart. Of course, no one should be unwilling to attack."

Li Ling smiled: "It's just a game, isn't it? It's normal to make some sacrifices in order to win a key game."

"Really?" Mourinho felt very surprised. He had laid so much preparation before, but Li Ling agreed without hesitation, making Mourinho feel like he punched the cotton, "Li Ling, you..."

As soon as he heard Mourinho seemed to say some sad and touching words, Li Ling quickly stopped him: "No, coach, don't do this, I'm also for myself."

"Why?" Mourinho was puzzled, "Even if we lose to Barcelona, ​​I will be the one who will bear the firepower of the media first, and Cristiano Ronaldo will be the second, and you are only 20 years old..."

"Ah, yes!" Mourinho said, slapped his forehead suddenly, "I always do it because you are too young and on the court.Things are completely different from your value, and Ignoring the fact that you are already a 100 million yuan gentleman. ”

"No, no, coach, what I want to tell you is not these things." Li Ling waved his hand, and Mourinho chose to shut up and listened to Li Ling telling his thoughts first.

Li Ling asked back: "How do you think football will develop in the future? Are all teams developing towards Barcelona's 'pass control' style, or are they developing better tactics to fight against it?"

"Do you think there will be a better way to crack it?" Mourinho felt incredible. Maybe he should have talked to Li Ling earlier.

In fact, Li Ling did not have any profound insights, it was just the experience accumulated in later generations.

"Actually, after all, any tactic must be based on the player's personal abilities. I don't think there is a tactic that ignores the player's abilities."

"This is nonsense." Mourinho curled his lips.

Li Ling spread his hands: "But the football world and the media's praise of Barcelona's tactics is obviously not in line with this common sense. They all believe that as long as they imitate Barcelona's playing style, they can succeed, but in fact, this kick The Fa can be so successful because such a group of people happened to appear."

"Well, you can think of this, which is really good. This is why I adhere to the football philosophy of defense-oriented." Mourinho gave Li Ling a thumbs up with approval.

"Once there are no such people, the so-called pass-by football will definitely not be so powerful. However, for the moment, because no one can defeat Barcelona on the scene, the public mistakenly believes that this tactic is powerful."

"But the next thing is what you have to face, I and the coach. Even if this Barcelona-style pass-and-control football will no longer be a hit in the future, some of the correct ideas it brings will indeed affect the development of the football world and tactics. "Li Ling pinched his fingers and started counting.

"For example, the thinking of counter-attacking on the spot is mostly done by midfielders now. Is it possible that all forwards will have to do in the future? No matter whether the center and winger are distinguished, it doesn't matter how big it is?"

"Now, the opponent usually takes the ball to his half-court to press. Is it possible to press directly in the opponent's half-court in the future? The opponent will pull the formation very wide for the attack. Once the ball is directly grabbed, wouldn't it be possible to fight back immediately? ? ”

"You are talking about Cruyff's all offense and defense? It's not that no one has ever thought about it. It's just that doing so requires too high a quality for players, at least the players' physical fitness cannot hold on."

"Hehe, coach, you don't understand it now. With the development of sports medicine research, athletes will receive more scientific and systematic guidance in training, treatment and other aspects in the next few years, and the physical fitness of the players will be strengthened. Then many tactics that you dare not think about now can be tried."

Mourinho's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Of course, it can't be true anymore. Li Ling thought silently in his heart. Later, football tactics developed into a tight press on the whole game and a high-level pressure. It has become popular in just ten years at most, and he will definitely be able to catch up.

Although there is complete knowledge in the system, I definitely cannot exchange it directly and teach Mourinho. Let me tell him according to my general impression, and let Mourinho use his brain. If he thinks it out and becomes a pioneer in the pioneering tactical genre, it is not very good.

Moreover, Mourinho's defensive counterattack has a lot in common with the pressing and high-level pressure. It is very possible for him to realize it.

After diverting Mourinho's attention, Li Ling quickly said goodbye, leaving Mourinho with frowning and thinking hard.
