Chapter 253 tit for tat
Whether in England or in Italy, Mourinho's haughty character has kept the relationship between him and the media in a tense state. With the arrival of the two 'enemies' of the Manchester United team, they certainly hope that they can learn from Ferguson and Nick There are some things that can be hyped out of Er's mouth.
However, Mr. Ferguson, the old fox, made them deflated. No matter how they played tricks, Mr. Ferguson's attitude was the same, "Mr. Mourinho is a very good head coach. A tough opponent to deal with."
As for Mr. Ferguson, Mourinho is also a headache. One of his most powerful weapons is the head coach of the Champions League. He often says, "I am the head coach of the European champions, and you are nothing."
As for Mr. Ferguson, there are already two Champions League champions, more than a dozen league champions, and more than forty champions of all kinds. These are not comparable to Mourinho. So, so far, The spat between Mourinho and Mr Ferguson has yet to be won.
"Nicole, talk about it. When Mourinho kicked you out of Chelsea, now you are going to face his team again. Do you have anything to say?"
"I don't have anything to say, it was a tragedy, nobody made a mistake, and I don't think Mr Mourinho was at fault, nor did he kick me out of the club, because at the time, my body was already gone. I can't be a professional anymore, it's just a miracle happened to me."
Of course, what the reporters want Mourinho is very clear, although according to UEFA regulations, he must attend a press conference before the game, but the head coach with a strong personality has once again made a surprising move , after the press conference started, Mr. Ferguson sat down, and Mourinho stood up after the press officer announced the start, "I'm already here, and I have nothing to say. Any questions will be unanswered." .” Then, after shaking hands with a smiling Mr. Ferguson in front of stunned reporters, he floated away.
"I protest..."
"You can't do this, I haven't asked yet?"
"Hell, here we go again."
"That's right, he's punishing us again."
"However, this is also good news."
The reporters were noisy, Mr. Ferguson sat down politely for a minute, and then said to the press officer, "I think I can leave, they are not interested in hearing what an old man has to say." Under the facial expression, Mr. Ferguson still walked away with a smile on his face. Only then did the reporters realize that there was no one on the stage, except for the UEFA press officer, who was still thinking about how to write this damn report Well, according to the rules, neither of these two has any reason to be punished, especially Mr. Ferguson, who has waited a lot of time.
------
Whether it's his speech or the team's tactics, Mourinho prefers to take everything into his own hands. Inter Milan has always been very strong, but in the Mancini era, although Inter Milan has no People can be shaken, but it is extremely disappointing in the European arena.
So Mourinho is here, and now there are many world-class players in the team. After they added Sneijder and Lucio last summer, the midfield and defense have been greatly strengthened. From the perspective of the lineup, They already have the conditions to defeat any opponent.After Mourinho's kneading and polishing, this Inter Milan team has been fully formed, the three lines have a reasonable structure, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
Judging from the strength of the two teams, the level is actually about the same. Although Mourinho and the media are in the same situation, the Italian reporters are still facing Inter Milan. They analyze from many aspects and believe that although Manchester United has outstanding defensive ability, In the face of Inter Milan's strong attacking power, it is difficult for the Englishman to retreat unscathed.
However, what they don't know is that in Pinettina's training base, the subject Mourinho is training is defense.
"You guys have to remember one thing, keep this thing firmly in your mind, all of you are defensive players, you have to think of yourself as a defender, and then you are forwards, forwards, defense is tomorrow's game Main theme."
Although some people disagree with Mourinho's words, no one dares to raise objections in front of him. Everyone knows that Mourinho is the king here, and anyone who dares to challenge Mourinho's authority will be punished. Ruthless purge.
While Mourinho was desperately instilling defensive awareness in the team, Manchester United's tactical meeting was also going on intensely. Mr. Ferguson listened to the assistant coach Perrin explaining the game plan made by the coaching staff, thinking deeply.
Perrin and the others believe that Inter Milan will definitely increase the intensity of attack in the home game and strive to establish a solid lead at home. Therefore, the coaching staff suggested that the team first implement a shrinking defensive strategy in the first half, and in the second half it depends on the situation. A strong counterattack disrupts the rhythm of the opponent's game.
And judging from the experience of playing against Mourinho, a young man for many years, Mr. Ferguson must admit that he did not guess correctly. Therefore, when the coaching staff came up with a preliminary plan, Mr. Ferguson doubted, "This guy will definitely not So simple. '
"We must have an alternative plan. We cannot rule out the opponent's use of the opposite tactics. We must be prepared." Ferguson finally made up his mind.
"The opposite tactic?" Perrin looked at Coach Ferguson suspiciously, "Could it be that he can't defend here?"
Hearing that his assistant coach didn't believe it, Mr. Ferguson strengthened his thinking, "It's very possible."
The Italian team has almost engraved the awareness of defense in their bones. Although there are many foreign players in Inter Milan, this tradition has not been discarded. What they don't understand is why they have to give up possession of the ball at home and take the initiative. The opportunity to attack was given to Manchester United from afar.
In fact, this is one of the results of Mourinho's long-term thinking and summary during his time at home. In his opinion, the tactical design is to make the opponent guess wrong and make the players on the field at a loss. Analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Inter Milan, the tenacity of the defense is absolutely top-notch, and the goal in the counterattack is the easiest.
The core of the tactics designed by Mourinho is to disrupt Manchester United's tactical rhythm, and the so-called home court advantage and the mood of the fans are nothing compared to victory in the eyes of the Portuguese.
The opportunity for Manchester United lies in whether they can control the rhythm and not be confused by the situation in front of them. For this game, Magic Bird is full of confidence. At the same time, he is also confident that his team dare not violate his own tactics, and no one can challenge himself.
At the draw ceremony, after Inter Milan and Manchester United were drawn out, Mourinho knew that UEFA hoped to use his fight with Mr. Ferguson in the Premier League to continue to create topics and attract the attention of more fans, so he was very concerned about this result. , he was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he had been thinking about how to make his opponent surrender.
The two teams pay attention to the balance of offense and defense, and there is not much difference in strength, so how to arrange tactics has become the key to the outcome of the game.
Now Mourinho has a good set of cards in his hands. In addition to Eto'o, Sneijder, Thiago Motta and Cambiasso, Inter Milan has the world's best right back Maicon.His assist ability is a sharp weapon for Inter Milan's wing attack. His breakthroughs and crosses on the wing are very threatening and very lethal.Not only is Maicon's ability outstanding in offense, but Maicon's ability in defense is also quite good.
Although striker Milito is not as famous as Eto'o the African cheetah, he is an efficient striker and is currently the player with the most goals for Inter Milan.
In addition, Inter Milan's defenders, Lucio and Samuel, are already very stable. The Argentine Samuel is already a world-class central defender, nicknamed 'The Rock'.At the beginning of the season, Inter Milan spent a lot of money to poach the frustrated Brazilian central defender Lucio from the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. The pairing of the two top central defenders in the world produced a good chemical effect, which made the international Milan's defensive line that has been criticized has become so insurmountable, and goalkeeper Cesar no longer needs to prove himself. He is already recognized as the world's top goalkeeper.
Looking at the lineup in front of him that would make anyone envious, Mourinho felt proud. He wanted to wrestle with Ferguson. He had carefully compared the lineups of the two sides. Judging from any position, Inter Milan They are not at a disadvantage, and even in most positions, they still have a certain advantage.
------
In the hotel where Manchester United stayed, Mr. Ferguson held a tactical meeting. Assistant coach Perrin explained the plan prepared by the coaching staff to the players. After Perrin's explanation, Mr. Ferguson gave some important instructions one by one. .
"Sneijder is a key point we need to pay attention to. In any case, Inter Milan's offensive initiator will be him, so, Nicole, watch him, he is yours."
"No problem, sir, I will make him very happy." Nickel knew that this game was not easy to play. As the captain, he had to set an example for other players, so he accepted the task with a very relaxed tone.
"You must be careful of Eto'o at the back line. Although he doesn't score many goals, he is very threatening, and Milito can't be underestimated. He is currently the most goalscorer among all the opponents. The reason is that he has a great sense of smell. , always appear in the most dangerous places."
"The targets in the counterattack are their two flanks. Behind Maicon and Zanetti are our main attack areas."
"There is also a possibility that the opponent will shrink the defense. If this happens, then how to control the rhythm will be left to you. Be careful and don't be fooled." After Mr. Ferguson finished speaking, he used He looked at Nicole questioningly.
Nicole didn't answer immediately, he was thinking about the meaning of Mr. Ferguson's words, after a while, Nicole nodded heavily, "I will be careful."
------
Judging from the current staffing, although Inter Milan's staffing is not the most luxurious, it is definitely the most reasonable. No matter which line, they have no obvious loopholes, even the old-fashioned Mr. Ferguson's advice to the players It is also to seize the space behind the opponent's full-back, but the premise is that they attack out.
Manchester United is known as a strong midfielder, but since Giggs and Scholes have gradually aged, and the star C Ronaldo has left Real Madrid, although Nicole has gradually matured, whether it is Nani, Anderson or Fletcher They have not yet become the kind of superstar players with absolute strength, and their strength is not enough to make people feel at ease.Carrick's body limits his achievements, so, in a sense, Manchester United's midfield is still somewhat insufficient compared to Inter Milan.
When the match day came, Nicole and his teammates boarded the bus and rushed to the Meazza Stadium. When they approached the stadium, there were crowds of Inter Milan fans everywhere. Most of them wore blue and black swords. T-shirts, while flocking to the field, while singing the songs of Inter Milan to create momentum for today's game.
At the entrance, the fans of Inter Milan are waiting in a long line to enter the stadium, while the small number of Manchester United fans are surrounded by countless policemen in a circle. They are waiting for a unified arrangement to enter the stadium alone. The practice was strongly protested by Manchester United fans, but this kind of protest was meaningless, and no one explained to them why?
------
"The game is about to start. We have already got the list of players from both sides. It is the same as the analysis before the game. The main lineups of both sides are exhausted, but there are some changes in the midfield of both sides. Of course, as of today, there is nothing to keep secret. Yes, they must rely on their own hard work to eliminate their opponents and enter the next round."
"Well, but the strange thing is that Inter Milan's lineup is a bit different from usual. They actually sent three defensive midfielders, Cambiasso, Motta, and Stankovic. I don't know where they will stand in a while." What will happen to the positions, no surprises for the strikers, Eto'o and Milito."
"Let's take a look at the visiting team, Manchester United from England, their starting lineup is Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, midfielder Nani, Anderson, Nicole, Carrick, very Weird combination, with Berbatov and Rooney as strikers and Nicole as captain."
When Ferguson and Mourinho got each other's roster, they both said in unison, "How dangerous! This cunning guy!"
The arrangement of the two teams puts defense first, and the opponent's offensive organizers will face the siege of three strong defensive players. Rinho is even more bored, Ferguson is better than himself, plus Nickel, he also has three midfielders, and Nickel's offensive ability is not inferior to his defense, and Manchester United's Nani is obviously Manchester United's counterattack As a backup core, Mourinho did not take advantage of the formation.
And Ferguson held the list of Inter Milan, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared. Mourinho's arrangement really made people confused. If he hadn't been calculated too much by the opponent, he wouldn't come up with two plans today. The list reported at the last moment was just to prevent accidents, but it turned out to be correct.
The Meazza Stadium is already full of seats, and even now there are still fans entering the stadium. Obviously, after the arrival of Mourinho, the confidence of Inter Milan fans has been greatly encouraged. Inter Milan has always been proud of its weak performance in the European arena Many Inter Milan fans are heartbroken, and Mourinho's strong entry has given them hope. It has been many years in a row that Inter Milan has not made it to the knockout round. Today, they finally have a chance to avenge their shame.
The fans of Inter Milan have already set off red fireworks in the stands. Although this is prohibited by the order, the fans with great powers still successfully brought these things into the stadium.
The police in Milan are on the verge of a formidable enemy. The reputation of England fans is already world-famous, but they also know that the fans in Italy are not much better, especially what happened to Manchester United fans in Rome. Just be careful, they don't want any accidents to happen under their own rule.
"The players from both sides have played, and the game is about to begin." The commentator also became excited.
The referee led the players from both sides out of the player channel, Nicole and Zanetti walked in front of the team, of course, behind the referee, each led a small ball boy.
The appearance of the players made the fans in the stands roar with cheers.
When the players were introduced, the Manchester United fans were obviously at a disadvantage. Every Manchester United fan whose name was read got a huge boo. On the contrary, the Inter Milan players cheered loudly.The fans hope to use this method to give their opponents a bad start, but this has almost no effect on the Manchester United players who have experienced countless big scenes.
When the ceremony ended and the music faded away, the shouts of the fans became the main theme of the scene again.Nickel gathered his teammates together, "We are champions, we have our own pride, we are tough, forge ahead, beat them, and we go home happy."
"Yes, beat them!"
"Oh..." After shouting, the players of Manchester United ran to their positions, ready to start the game.
After the referee blew the whistle, the game officially started. Inter Milan got the kick-off right, and they immediately launched an attack.
Although Mourinho's tactics are defensive counterattacks, the necessary offense cannot be omitted. For Inter Milan's offense after the opening, Manchester United has long been prepared. They have built an iron wall. Inter Milan's offensive frenzy is on this steel The front line of defense was shattered, and Manchester United's counterattack was easily resolved by Inter Milan, which had enough defensive players.
In the opening 10 minutes, no one was able to make any progress.
No. In the 12th minute, Inter Milan began to shrink, but they did not shrink uniformly, but gaps appeared. Nickel observed this keenly. He successfully intercepted the ball from Sneijder's feet, did not pass the ball, but Sudden acceleration, when approaching Stankovic, using the change in speed, throwing the opponent away, and then driving straight in, when Inter Milan tightened the defense line, Nicole passed the ball to the gap between Maicon and Lucio, Rooney got The chance to shoot was only slightly wide, but it also made Mourinho furious.
It's too late today, and tomorrow's update will be at night. Please forgive me. There are too many things at work recently, and the National Day holiday has nothing to do with me. Sorry again.
