Super Marshal

"how do you feel?"

In the northeast of Madrid, in the head coach's office of Real Madrid's Valdebebas training base, Mourinho and his core coaching staff are sitting in front of the TV, discussing the live broadcast that has just ended.

In the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-0 at home.

This is very meaningful for Real Madrid, who will go to Manchester in the middle of the week to challenge Manchester City.

Mourinho also attached great importance to this game. Not only did he arrange for his right-hand man, Real Madrid’s chief scout Jose Moles went to Manchester in person to watch the game on the spot, and he also brought Kalanka and Faria and other assistant coaches watched the game live together.

The first team's special adviser Zidane also sat with them. He is the link between President Florentino and Mourinho, and Real Madrid also attaches great importance to the trip to Manchester.

After watching the focus of the Premier League game, everyone has obviously gained something, but when Mourinho asked them how they felt, all of them were embarrassed, as if they could not be described and expressed in words.

"Rui, you can talk about it first."

Rui Faria, who had medium and long hair, was named, reached out and grabbed the beard scum that hadn't been shaved in four days by his mouth, and shook his head solemnly, "I don't understand, I don't understand. "

Rui Faria is in his early thirties and is very close to Gao Han’s age. Both were once interns in the Barcelona first team, but Faria is a graduate of the University of Porto, majoring in sports science, in order to complete his university thesis [ High-efficiency football] Came to Barcelona for an internship and met Mourinho, then Barcelona's assistant coach.

The two hit it off, they were like-minded and became good friends. Later, Mourinho returned to coach in Portugal. Faria has been following Mourinho as a physical coach and left Mourinho's team in Boas. After that, Faria gradually assumed a more important role.

In addition to physical training, analysis of game video and tactical research are Faria's strengths.

"Aito, what do you think?" Mourinho turned his head and asked the chief assistant coach Aito Karanka.

This is Mourinho's right-hand man when he was in charge of Real Madrid, the Galacticos looked for him, familiar with everything about Real Madrid, and understand the situation in La Liga.

"Like Rui, I can't figure it out, I always feel that there is something hidden in the high cold."

"He didn't try his best." Mourinho replied confidently.

Judging from the process of the game, Manchester City’s play was actually not easy, but it was not difficult. The main reason was that in the first half, Manchester City did not take the initiative to attack as before, but let Chelsea pressure it out. Goal is scored by counterattack.

After two goals in the first half, Manchester City did not pursue the victory in the second half. It was obvious that Alpine kept strength.

But thinking about it makes people scared.

You know, this is a duel between the top two teams in the Premier League, but he is still hiding it. This can only be said that he has amazing confidence in the strength of his team and he is sure that he will not lose.

But where does his confidence come from?

Therefore, everyone will say that they didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

"Zinedine, how about you?" Mourinho asked Zidane.

He found that the former French superstar has always frowned, as if encountering a very difficult problem.

"There is one thing I didn't want to understand."

"tell me the story."

Not only Mourinho cared, but everyone else also looked at Zidane, wanting to know what made the former legendary superstar so distressed.

"All of us know that Gao Han is best at attacking and passing control, but at the beginning of this game he neither attacked nor grabbed the ball, even he was a bit like deliberately giving up possession to Chelsea. Even if he knows that Chelsea's ability to pass and control is not as good as theirs, even if he has confidence in his team's pressure, there is no reason to do so.

After listening to Zidane’s question, everyone looked at each other. How hard can they think about this question?

"Zinedine, it is obvious that he is deliberately showing weakness." Kalanka replied with a wry smile, "If you combine the psychological warfare with the cold before the game, it is not difficult to find that he did this deliberately to let Chelsea pressure Come out and fight."

"I know he was deliberately showing weakness, but after Chelsea counterattacked, he could have continued to show weakness, but he grabbed the ball. From that moment on, Manchester City's possession has never been lower than Chelsea's."

Everyone couldn't keep up with Zidane's thoughts, and they didn't understand what he wanted to say.

"Zinedine, he already had a ball in his hand at the time." Faria reminded.

Zidane looked at his colleagues around him, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

He knows that such an explanation is quite logical, but it is certainly not that simple. Otherwise, how to explain Gao Han's winning streak from his debut to the present?

He must have done something right to make him so invincible.

In the past, Zidane didn't think about coaching, and more treated Gao Han as a genius coach, but now he has thought about coaching, then his vision and perspective on Gao Han is obviously different.

Perhaps, if you have the opportunity, you should ask him face to face!

No one knows Zidane's mind, and no one will care about it. Mourinho and his team are more concerned about how to play the away game against Manchester City in this game.

"There is no doubt that we have no choice to play against the Alpine team. We can only guard against it." Kalanka suggested.

Faria also nodded in agreement, "They just played a game with Chelsea. Although the fight was not tragic, but it was not easy to win. Even if Alpine kept his strength in the game, it would definitely be good for their midweek game. Has an impact."

As a physical coach, Faria tries to analyze his opponent from the physical aspect.

"Modric's game is a protective suspension. It is estimated that it will be played at that time, so we will definitely face the strongest team of Manchester City."

Mourinho nodded slightly. He has always been a person who knows his own characteristics very well and knows exactly what he wants.

"The reason Scolari lost this game is because he didn't figure out what he wanted. He was hesitant. He wanted a draw, but he felt unwilling because he was also five. With a winning streak, he feels he can get more."

"He was not reconciled, but he was a little scared. He was killed by Manchester City four times in a year and lost three championships, which made him a little timid, so he was worried that his team could not do it, so he hesitated. From his lineup, it can be seen that if it is a tie, Drogba should be played instead of Falcao."

Mourinho smiled proudly when he said this, "Scolari doesn't know Alpine at all!"

When the Portuguese madman said this, he felt as if he was the person who knew Alpine the best in the world.

"The man Gao Han wants to win every game since his debut, and as long as he wins, he never wants a draw. Therefore, to play against his team, it is impossible to win or lose. draw!"

When Mourinho said this, his eyes projected extremely firmness.

Although he didn't say it directly, everyone could feel his inner fighting spirit.

Since it is impossible to draw, he has only one choice, and that is to win!
