The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

After the match with Huddersfield Town, head coach Mourinho gave all the players a day off, and he and the entire coaching staff plunged into the tactical analysis room of the Carrington training base.

Since the second round of the semi-final with Bayern Munich, Giovanni Serra has led the staff of the data center to collect and analyze Porto's game videos this season, including the UEFA Champions League, the Portuguese Super League, the Portuguese Cup, and other games. In particular, the UEFA Champions League and the strong confrontations with Benfica, Sporting CP and other teams in the Portuguese Super League have been repeatedly disassembled and analyzed by the data center.

At this time, the staff of the data center had already put Porto's possible starting lineup on the tactical analysis board. Giovanni Serra was standing on the left side of the big screen, holding advanced electronic equipment and talking to Mourinho and the entire coaching staff:

"The goalkeeper position is undoubtedly Igor Casillas." As Giovanni Serra spoke, the big screen showed Igor Casillas's head and various technical data of this season.

"I believe everyone is familiar with this legendary goalkeeper from the former Real Madrid. He has been the mainstay of Porto's defense in recent seasons.

His main advantages:

First: Rich experience:

Igor Casillas has a brilliant career. He has represented Real Madrid and the Spanish national team in major top competitions many times. Years of hard work have allowed him to accumulate rich game experience. Whether facing a single shot, a penalty kick or various complex situations, he can remain calm and make correct judgments. At critical moments, his presence can stabilize the team's morale and give his teammates great confidence.

Second: Quick reaction:

Igor Casillas's reaction speed is unique. He can react to the ball in a very short time, whether it is a close-range shot or a tricky angle shot, he can quickly make a save. This super-fast reaction ability often makes the opponent's attack futile, defending the last line of defense for Porto.

Third: Leadership:

As the captain and spiritual leader of the team, Igor Casillas' leadership ability on the field should not be underestimated. He can command his teammates to defend and position, coordinate the cooperation of the back line, and ensure that the team's defense system runs in an orderly manner. In the game, his loud shouting and positive body language can inspire teammates to fight bravely and fight for victory.

Of course, he also has his own disadvantages:

First: Age factor:

At his peak Igor Casillas is a smart goalkeeper. He has an advantage in receiving ground balls and half-high balls, and his attack speed is also very fast. However, he was born in 1981 and is no longer young. As he grows older, his physical function has inevitably declined. When facing some extremely fast forwards, his reaction speed may be slightly insufficient.

In addition, he has started 42 times this season. According to the data center's analysis of Porto's last ten games, it was found that long-term high-intensity games have caused problems with his physical fitness. After the 70th minute of the game, he will unconsciously be distracted. Most of Porto's goals this season are also concentrated in this time period.

Second: Height problem:

Being short has always been Igor Casillas' main technical defect. As he gets older in recent years, this problem has become more and more serious. In this game, we can encourage the midfield to try more lobs, which will have unexpected results.

In addition, the free kicks and corner kicks in the midfield will be important opportunities for us. "

Giovanni Serra paused, smiled and continued to Emilio Alves and Silvino Rulo, "Emilio, Silvino, you should have focused on studying Igor Casillas before, see if there is anything you need to add."

As soon as the voice fell, it caused a burst of laughter in the audience. Indeed, everyone in this room is too familiar with Igor Casillas. Head coach Mourinho coached Real Madrid for three seasons. Silvino Rulo was the goalkeeper coach at the time, and Rui Faria was the physical coach at the time. Assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy played for Real Madrid for three and a half years as a player. As the main striker, he knew the main goalkeeper Igor Casillas very well. Emilio Alves was the goalkeeper coach of Atletico Madrid at the time. He would definitely be the number one research object for the main goalkeeper of the city's mortal enemy.

"I want to tell Igor that you are targetingHe. Hahahahaha. "Among these people, Van Nistelrooy has the best personal relationship with Igor Casillas. He pretended to take out his mobile phone and pretended to make a call, and then he laughed first. Emilio Alves and Silvino Rulo also smiled and waved to Giovanni Serra, indicating that they had nothing to add.

"Then let's continue and take a look at Porto's defense." Giovanni Serra said.

"Right back: Maximiliano Perreira.

This Uruguayan international player born in 1984 is the main right back of Porto this season and plays an important role in Porto's defense.

His main advantages:

First: Active defense:

Maximiliano Perreira is always passionate and motivated when defending. He actively participates in every defense and is not afraid of physical confrontation with the opponent's players. His fierce pressing and tenacious defensive attitude often put the opponent's offensive players under great pressure.

Second: Full of energy:

Maximiliano Perreira has excellent physical fitness and can maintain high-intensity running and defense throughout the game. His tirelessness provides continuous protection for the team's defense. Whether in the opening stage or the end of the game, he can go all out in defense.

Third: Accurate passing:

After completing the defensive task, Maximiliano Perreira can accurately pass the ball to the midfielder to initiate the team's offense. His high passing accuracy can effectively connect the team's defense and midfield, creating good conditions for the team's offense.

His main disadvantages:

First: Limited offensive ability:

Maximiliano Perreira's main responsibility is defense, and his contribution on the offensive end is relatively small. His offensive awareness and offensive ability need to be improved, and he cannot provide more support for the team's offense.

Second: Easy to foul:

Due to his active defensive style, Maximiliano Perreira sometimes commits too many fouls in the game. Too many fouls may cause unnecessary losses to the team, and may even lead to being sent off, affecting the team's defensive layout.

Maximiliano Pereira's speed is not outstanding, and it is difficult to form a breakthrough in the offense. We can make a good article on this point, and our left attack line can play an important role.

Right center back: Felipe Augusto

This Brazilian player born in 1989 is a stable force in Porto's defense this season.

His main advantages:

First: Excellent physical fitness:

Felipe Augusto has a strong body and excellent confrontation ability. In the confrontation with the opponent's forward, he can take advantage of his physical advantage and effectively block the opponent's attack. His height also gives him an advantage in competing for high-altitude balls, and he can timely resolve the opponent's long pass tactics.

Second: Strong defensive awareness:

Felipe Augusto has a good defensive awareness. He can accurately judge the opponent's offensive route and make timely substitutions and assists. When defending, he is good at using his sense of position and predictive ability to block the opponent's offensive route in advance, making an important contribution to the team's defense.

Third: High stability:

Felipe Augusto's performance in the game is very stable. He rarely makes low-level mistakes, can always stay focused, and conscientiously perform his defensive duties. His stable performance provides a solid guarantee for Porto's defense this season.

However, he has confirmed that he will join Atletico Madrid in La Liga at the end of the season, which is also the venue for the next Champions League final. "Home debut" Ha, you can give gifts. "Giovanni Serra said this, and everyone in the room laughed. Everyone knew what Giovanni Serra meant by "giving gifts", because on the personal attribute data of Felipe Augusto on the big screen, the mental attribute was only 5.5 points/maximum 10 points.

"His main disadvantages:

First: Relatively slow speed:

Felipe Augusto's speed is not his strong point. When facing some speed forwards, he may seem a little strenuous when chasing back to defend. The opposing forward may use his speed disadvantage to break through, which will put a lot of pressure on his defense.

Second: Low offensive participation:

Compared with other defenders, Felipe Augusto has a low participation in the offensive end. His main task is defense, and his contribution in offense is relatively small, and he cannot provide more support for the team's offense.

Left center back: Eder Militao

He is a new star in Porto's defense line.Star, Director Solskjaer asked me for his detailed analysis data a few days ago, and I personally recommend that the club buy him.

His main advantages:

First: physical fitness and technical ability:

Eder Militao has excellent physical fitness and technical ability, and has shown maturity and stability beyond his age in defense. His future development prospects are limitless, and he is the star of hope for Porto's defense.

Second: Fast return speed:

Eder Militao is very fast, which is a great advantage among defenders. He can quickly chase back to defend and effectively prevent the opponent's quick counterattack. We analyzed the data of his last ten games and found that he can often use his speed advantage to steal and intercept in the confrontation with the opponent's forward.

Third: Comprehensive technology:

Eder Militao not only has excellent defensive ability, but also has certain offensive ability. His passing accuracy is high and he can participate in the team's offensive organization. In set-piece offense, he can also use his height advantage to compete for headers and create scoring opportunities for the team.

His main disadvantages:

First: Insufficient Champions League experience:

As a young player, Eder Militao has relatively little game experience. When facing some complex game situations, he may make mistakes in judgment. He also needs to accumulate experience in more games and continuously improve his game ability.

Second: Emotional control:

Through data analysis, we found that the young Eder Militao sometimes has large emotional fluctuations in the game. When faced with some controversial penalties or fierce confrontations, he may lose his composure and affect his performance. He needs to learn to better control his emotions and stay focused. "

As soon as Giovanni Serra finished speaking, head coach Mourinho said to Solskjaer, "Sochaux, what stage is the club's introduction of Eder Militao at present?"

"The club has already made an offer, and Porto should still be struggling. In addition, they unexpectedly reached the final of the Champions League, and the transfer is currently on hold." Solskjaer said to Mourinho.

"Hehe. "Formonicio, use your connections to spread the word to the media back home. Just tell them that I am very interested in Eder Militao and welcome him to join Manchester United next season." Mourinho turned to Ricardo Formonicio and said. Ricardo Formonicio is also an old man trusted by Mourinho. He has worked with Mourinho twice in Porto and Real Madrid. He just left the coaching position after coming to Manchester United. He is one of the scout directors of Manchester United Club, responsible for the club's scout work in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Sao Tome and other Portuguese-speaking regions. He has deep connections in the local media.

"Okay, boss." Ricardo Formonicio said straightforwardly.
