Super Marshal

"I found it!"

At the Harrington training ground in Chelsea, Mourinho's chief assistant coach Boas walked quickly into the head coach's office and excitedly shouted towards Mourinho, who was sitting behind his desk computer.

Mourinho raised his head, looking at the approaching right-hand man, but his brows frowned.

It took three full days for him to get the answer he wanted, which was too inefficient.

"Where?" Mourinho asked in a deep voice.

"A golf club dozens of kilometers away from the suburbs of Athens, Greece, I heard that they had taken over the entire clubhouse and arrived in Athens four days in advance. Not only did the media reporters not get the news, but even the fans did not know about it. The confidentiality work was quite strict. ."

Mourinho's brows tightened. "He went to Athens four days in advance."

This is not a good phenomenon.

As early as May 12, Chelsea played the final round of the Premier League. That is to say, from the Premier League to the Champions League final, the Blues have ten days to prepare for the game, and they have exhausted everything to prepare.

In contrast, Inter Milan's situation is much worse, at least they have to be distracted by the Serie A and Coppa Italia final against Rome, so in terms of preparation, Chelsea is slightly ahead.

But this is only one aspect. Conversely, it can be said that Inter Milan is easier to maintain and adjust.

There was no game for ten days, which was also a big test for Mourinho and the coaching staff. Therefore, during the preparation period, Mourinho secretly organized an internal game, which was a real 90-minute regular game.

Mourinho did his best for almost everything he could think of before the game, but when he was planning to go to Athens, the media suddenly revealed that Inter Milan’s Pinetti The Na training base is already empty, and there are not even a single player on the first team.

This caused shock to the media and fans throughout Europe and even the whole world.

Inter Milan officials quickly gave a reply, the team set off in advance to the training camp.

Inter Milan did not give a specific statement on where to train.

The all-pervasive media reporters immediately digged three feet to dig out Inter Milan's hiding place, but they were never able to find it. This surprised Mourinho, who was far away in London, and was a little bit nervous.

The war is about to come, but the opponent suddenly gives you such a hand, which makes you feel uneasy.

What's more, this time his opponent is still Gao Han.

"According to my guess, they should have gone to get acquainted with Athens in advance, and they have less travelled back and forth." Boas guessed.

Mourinho nodded, it's not hard to guess.

In fact, he had this idea before and communicated with the club. On the one hand, he avoided reporters and concentrated on preparing for the game. On the other hand, he also considered that the facilities at the Harrington training ground were indeed not good enough.

At that time, the location he chose was a coastal city in southern Spain, and the climate was very close to that of Athens.

However, the management finally considered the budget, thinking that the team’s ten-day overseas training camp would cost a lot of money, and finally rejected Mourinho’s proposal, thinking that it would be more practical to concentrate on staying in London to prepare.

What's more, Mourinho also needs to play an internal game in the middle of the training camp.

Thinking of this, Mourinho sighed secretly, erased all the annoying thoughts in his heart, and looked at Boas again.

"Media reporters have heard the news, is anyone going to investigate?"

"Why not?" Boas smiled. The media reporters were pervasive. "However, they were all blocked by the security of the golf club. I heard that some reporters wanted to get in. They were arrested and sent to the police station. Up."

Mourinho could fully imagine the tricks of those reporters, as well as the scene where they were sent to the police station. He gave a disdainful sneer in his heart. He simply looked down on the reporters who made trouble.

However, Gao Han and Inter Milan specially chose such a place to prepare for the battle, but they had to arouse his attention.

For Chelsea, whether it is playing Inter Milan or Atletico Madrid, there is only one way to go, and that is to fight for the siege, because physical strength and physical confrontation are Chelsea's advantage and opponent's disadvantage.

No one in the world should be stupid enough to use their own weakness to collide with the opponent's advantage, right?

Playing Inter Milan is completely different from playing Atletico Madrid.

Heynckes is more conservative than Alpine in his bones, and is more balanced on offense and defense. Alpine seems to be very balanced, but in fact he is extremely obsessed with offense. He belongs to the kind of coach who wants to hold the initiative firmly in his hands.

What's more frightening is that he can always use offense to defeat opponents.

Therefore, in the past period of time, the defensive tactics that Chelsea focused on rehearsing were not the same as when they played Atletico Madrid, but paid more attention to the compactness of the overall formation, and even preferred to give up offensive for defense.

It doesn't matter if people outside want to scold him for being conservative, or say that he is anti-football, but as a professional coach, he knows very well that only this way can beat Gao Han, and he will stick to it without hesitation.

"In the first round of the semi-finals, Gao Han and Guardiola were in the stands. If I guessed correctly, he should have seen our tactics. And in the second round of Atletico Madrid’s targeted tactics, they will definitely have them. Learned from."

Everyone is well aware of the close relationship between Gao Han and Atletico Madrid, and Boas has no doubt that they will exchange news.

"I am worried that they will make a fuss about Makelele at that time, especially the Yaya Touré."

When talking about Yaya Touré, Mourinho's eyes flashed with a strange color.

That player was also a type he admired very much, but he was put to use by Gao Han.

This season, Alpine used Yaya Toure as the team's midfielder, but his position was more flexible, and it would often be adjusted according to the opponent's difference. However, he generally hit the opponent's midfielder and even penetrated forward during the offensive. Take the ball at the front of the penalty area.

In the arc area, Yaya Toure's ability to hold and make the ball is very good.

Playing AC Milan and Manchester United, Yaya Touré has shouldered the burden of suppressing the opposing organization midfielder. Both Pirlo and Carrick hated him. Therefore, Alpine arranged for Yaya Touré to play Makelele. Mourinho has no doubt about this point.

"Then we will shrink the formation and let both Barack and Lampard withdraw to protect Makelele."

Makelele’s importance to Chelsea is extraordinary.

Back then, after Mourinho entered the Blues, he moved a lot of players, but only four players did not dare to move.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar is the backbone of the team's defense. He dare not move. Terry and Lampard are the local core of the team. The big guy in the locker room, Mourinho dare not move. The last one is Markle. Lai.

However, in the past two or three years, Van der Sar’s performance can no longer be reassuring. Mourinho had moved to replace him as early as the summer transfer, and the Dutch himself intentionally left Chelsea, but Delayed for various reasons.

But in any case, protecting Makelele is Mourinho's only choice.

At the very least, Mikel is far from replacing Makelele.

"I didn't pay much attention to the midfield. I was most worried about the right back."

"Paul Ferreira?"

"Well, he can't guard Cristiano Ronaldo."

"But recently, isn't Cristiano Ronaldo's condition very bad? The media and fans are about to scold him to death. Do you think he can adjust this time?" Boas asked inexplicably.

Mourinho looked at his assistant, shook his head and smiled, still inexperienced.

"Let me tell you that Cristiano Ronaldo's state is not bad, but can be said to be the best one in the Inter Milan team. It's just that he was heavily guarded by his opponents during the game and he likes to take the ball too much. It seems that there are frequent mistakes and poor condition."

Speaking of this, Mourinho reminded his assistant, “Think about it, what happened to the red cards of Aveloya and Panucci? Finnan had cramps before the game ended and almost cried after the game. What's going on again?"

Boas is speechless.

Waking up by Mourinho, he really discovered that things didn't seem to be what the media and fans said.

They just stared at the goals and assists, but in the game, Cristiano Ronaldo's ball and breakthrough, the impact and harassment caused by the opponent's defense, it is not simple data that can be summarized.

Finnan is a famous player in the Premier League and Panucci is also an experienced veteran. It goes without saying how the two players are.

Aveloya is considered the least famous of the three, but he completely stared Robben's right back in the Liverpool game against Chelsea. For this, it is difficult for Boas to ignore his defensive ability. .

But in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, these three players can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but they still inevitably received red cards, which shows how outstanding the Portuguese are.

"Not only Cristiano Ronaldo, but also Ibrahimovic, Adriano, and Yaya Toure, Inter Milan is a club of freaks." Mourinho scolded angrily Tao.

These four players need to have skills and techniques, a body with a body, and an impact and an impact. It is simply not too fierce.

Let's put it this way, these four guys take everything soft and hard.

"To defend them, you can only rely on the whole, you can't fight alone, and Ferreira can't defend Cristiano Ronaldo."

Boas was startled, "What should I do?"

Mourinho squinted his eyes and looked forward firmly. He had a countermeasure.
