However, contrary to the player's opinion, many media like to throw problems at Real Madrid and cause problems for Real Madrid and Mourinho.

"It's time to beat the tortoise tactics and beat them at the Bernabeu", Catalan media outlet Le Monde Sport cheered Barcelona on before the game and satirized Jose Mourinho's tactics.

'There is no way back for Barcelona and this league game on Saturday must be won to win at the Bernabeu and win in the table. At Real Madrid's current form, Barcelona have enough to beat them. ”

"Daily Sport" continued to point out: "Real Madrid now continues to lack a major general, Arbeloa on the right is still the weakest link in defense, Neymar or Villa should learn from Tottenham's Bale and resolutely destroy him on the left, Mourinho is estimated to have to put out the bus again this time, because he has no choice but to bus." ”

Even Marca expressed concern about Real Madrid: "It's good to be unbeaten at home, you don't have to win, but if you fail? Jose Mourinho will lose everything this season, the first of four match-ups, and the importance cannot be overstated, and he should choose his team's tactics carefully. ”

Foreign media also participated, and Germany's "Bild" is also optimistic about Barcelona: "After almost a season of dormancy and hard work, Barcelona is fully ready, it is not easy for them to continue such stability, it seems that their preparation for a season is to beat Real Madrid, every game before is almost perfect, attack, attack, attack, this is their football philosophy, and Real Madrid is staggering to the present, although they have also been unbeaten, But Barcelona are the most formidable opponents, and they will deal Real Madrid the heaviest blow. ”

……

In Mourinho's view, these reports are sick.

It took him a season to prove the strength of Real Madrid, and in the eyes of the news media, they still have to step on Real Madrid, just because Real Madrid didn't play well enough? Just because everyone wants to see Real Madrid lose?

On Friday, a strange scene unfolded in the press conference room of Real Madrid's Valdebebas Sports City: Mourinho and assistant coach Faria attended the press conference together, but Mourinho stretched his face and did not say a word, and all questions were answered by Faria.

In fact, at noon on Friday, Real Madrid sent a notice to reporters that Mourinho would be absent from the press conference and that it would be Faria who would receive the reporters. But in the end, Mourinho appeared in front of reporters again, but in the face of 48 shots, he did not say a word and kept the news silent.

After Real Madrid's press officer announced that Mourinho would only attend the press conference and would not answer questions, Spanish journalists expressed their displeasure with Mourinho's reticence. The silent Mu Shuai coldly watched the 30 Spanish media collectively exit, only the "As" newspaper and the economic TV station left reporters on the scene, in addition, reporters from France, Italy, Portugal and Sweden also followed the exit to express their dissatisfaction. Journalists who left the stadium said they were not protesting against Faria, but rather expressing their displeasure with Mourinho's silence ahead of such an important match.

Faria answered questions from foreign journalists, and half of the press conference was empty. Mourinho's approach can be said to have offended the Spanish media, and he seems to be going to lead his team to the best result in four games with the courage to break the boat, because it is obvious that if Real Madrid do not perform well, he will inevitably be criticized by dissatisfied journalists.

Faria explained: "That's how Mourinho works. He told me that the message he was trying to convey, I could convey it very well. However, Faria did not say exactly what Mourinho's message was.

Faria defended Mourinho by saying: "Every time the manager speaks, everyone makes a big fuss. In fact, we haven't been speaking out of tune lately. Many people say that Mourinho wants to heat up the national derby, which is why he chose to sit still to avoid misunderstandings. It's not the first time I've spoken, and that's how he works. ”

Faria denied that Mourinho's "pantomime" was disrespectful to journalists and media, "What the fans want is for Real Madrid to get to where they are, they want to see a coach who works hard every day, a coach who contributes 100% to the club, and it doesn't matter if the coach says or not. ”

Faria also declined to reveal Real Madrid's starting line-up for Saturday's game, saying it would be interesting to see how the players are on the day of the game. 'Tomorrow we have to see how the players are and we think the best players will come out. Real Madrid players don't have to mobilize for such an important game, we are a team, we are in the final stages of an exciting season, if you are at Real Madrid you have to believe that everything can be done, especially in the current situation, the teamwork of the team is the most important thing. ”

But in fact, Mourinho has not decided on the starting line-up until now.

It wasn't until Saturday's final training session that Mourinho made his decision.

Arbeloa doesn't have a chance, because Ramos is back and he will be at right-back, in fact, Ramos has been playing at right-back since his debut in Sevilla, and now he is just going back to his old job.

With Carvalho unable to return, Mourinho opted to believe in the old and young duo of Varane and Pepe over Arbeloa.

As for the midfield, Alonso returned, but could only sit on the bench, Las Diarra was able to sit in the midfield position with Modric, becoming a barrier behind Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo is still flanked by Ozil and Di Maria, and the striker is Cristiano Ronaldo.

The formation of 4231 is actually not a little new, but Mourinho just dragged it out and did not announce it.

This is perhaps what makes the National Derby so special.

Barcelona, on the other hand, was very open, and at the press conference hosted by Guardiola, he announced the starting list early.

Goalkeeper: Valdés

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Puyol, Adriano

Midfielders: Xavi, Sergio Busquets, Iniesta

Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Neymar

This time, Neymar won against Villa and appeared in the starting lineup.

Pep Guardiola has been very low-key this time......

At the meeting, Pep Guardiola praised Real Madrid: "Real Madrid have the sharpest counter-attack in the world, and it only takes four passes to complete the attack from Casillas's hand-tossed attack to the final goal. ”

'When I was a kid, I watched Real Madrid play and they played really well and the games were fascinating. Now, they're definitely in better shape than they were in the first leg, with more speed, more power and more shots on goal than we did. So, it's very difficult for us to control an opponent like that, and when it comes to playing, if you let them do whatever they want, it's over. There is no doubt in this game that Real Madrid are the more likely to win and they are the favourites. ”

"Barcelona will lose one day, and for me it is possible to lose with this group of players or the next group of players. As I recall, their coach hasn't lost at home for nine years. ”

Journalists are very interested in the topic of Pep Guardiola's evaluation of Real Madrid, "Talk about Real Madrid's style of play specifically? ”

Pep Guardiola has one thing to say: "I've never seen a team on the counter-attack that can play as well as Real Madrid. From Casillas' attack to the end of the striker's goal, it only took three or four seconds, and there were only three or four touches in between, which we couldn't play, we were probably better in terms of positional battles and passing, but we didn't have players on the counter-attack, so we had to focus more on avoiding conceding goals. ”

'Of course, Mourinho's team has a lot of different ways of playing. His home and away style at Inter Milan was completely different. Now he is leading Real Madrid in another way of playing, but there are some basic, fundamental things that have not changed. ”

"This time at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid are the favourites. But our goal is to win the league and that requires us to try to win as much as possible and we are just one point away from them. ”

Talking about the issue of Neymar entering the starting line and Villa sitting on the bench, Guardiola said bluntly: "Neymar's breakthrough ability is stronger, let him play, is to let him and Messi solve the two wings of Real Madrid together, I think it is difficult for any player to be able to prevent the two of them!" ”

※※※※

The famous spinach companies in Europe have drawn the two teams, thinking that they are likely to play a draw.

However, the Spanish folk have come up with an interesting prediction.

A few days ago, the Benamadena Aquarium announced that two octopuses will make their own predictions for the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and this prediction has attracted considerable fans and media attention throughout the process. Perhaps it was the Spaniards who saw the octopus Paul in the World Cup in South Africa become so popular, and the Spaniards, who finally won the cup, were also red-eyed, and this time they also took the opportunity of the second leg of the battle of the century to launch their own predictions.

Maybe at first glance these two octopuses don't think there's anything special about them. However, they are not small, and the name given to them by the aquarium staff is enough to attract attention, they call the 1.5-kilogram Mediterranean octopus 'Messi', and the other Pacific octopus weighing 16 kilograms is called 'Dong Fangzhuo'.

The prediction begins, and the crew places the octopus in a special aquarium. After some cruising, 'Messi' actually climbed onto the glass test tube with the label of Real Madrid, which means that it is optimistic about the victory of its mortal enemy, and the 16-kilogram 'Dong Fangzhuo' did not choose either side after a difficult decision, which means that the two teams are tied, it seems that "Dong Fangzhuo" is a little pessimistic......

This incident quickly appeared on major news websites, and it was also reprinted on websites as far away as China, and Chinese fans left messages on it.

"Dong Fangzhuo doesn't know the choice? ! ”

"Barcelona fans must think too much, steadily press a bet on Real Madrid, and make sure you don't lose money!"

"Spinach is tempting, in fact, Real Madrid's home advantage is too obvious. Want a draw? Dong Fangzhuo did not agree. ”

The world's major TV media came to the game early to comment.

Many TV stations like to interview fans before the game, and at this time, a reporter from Spanish National Channel 5 caught a fan wearing a Barcelona jersey and asked:

"Who do you think is better Messi or Ronaldo?"

"In my opinion, Messi will one day become a legend like Pele and Maradona, while Ronaldo is more of a track and field athlete."

Instead of talking about Dong Fangzhuo, Messi and Ronaldo are two people, both of whom are currently playing hotly on the scorer list and both want to compete for the league's top scorer.

"Messi is omnipotent this season, and Ronaldo is just a cake eater. Messi can create chances for himself or for his teammates, but what does Ronaldo have? ”

"Every goal of Messi is an art and quite technical, while Ronaldo's goal is no different from other people's goals, he is a simple goalscorer."

Ronaldo was despised by Chi Guoguo, but he still broadcast live around the world.

No, in Real Madrid's dressing room, this interview was played.

Originally, Mourinho wanted everyone to watch TV and feel the atmosphere of the national derby in advance, but who knew that the picture was so embarrassing.

"Stupid." Dong Fangzhuo scolded.

Ronaldo's face is also very ugly, he was humiliated by such a red fruit, where to put his face.

"It's too much of a deception."

"They always think that if the ball is played beautifully, it is the best football in the world. But we must tell them again today that only victory is the best! ”

I don't know if it's intentional or not, anyway, the reporter grabbed another Barcelona fan and asked.

"What do you think the outcome of this game is?"

The Barcelona fan gave a slap in the face.

"I think it only takes 5:0 to make me feel comfortable!"

"Why?"

"Because we want revenge!"

Revenge?

Think too much!

"We're going to keep giving them a slap in the face."

"These stupid fans, do you really think this is Camp Nou? What the hell do you think......"

In the Real Madrid dressing room, the Real Madrid players were also enraged.

As a result, the reporter asked again, "Do you think Pep Guardiola's football philosophy is better, or Mourinho's football philosophy is better?" ”

"Pep Guardiola's, of course,"

"What if Jose Mourinho takes charge of Barcelona one day?"

The fan immediately said, "Oh my God, but don't do this, then Barcelona is over, just imagine, 11 turtles hiding in the backfield to defend, is this still Barcelona?" Whoever is in charge of Barcelona can do it, but he can't, whether he's at Chelsea, Inter Milan or Real Madrid, I think he has achieved something, but it's not real football, so ugly and ugly football, I'd rather not! ”

It's too much.

Mourinho had his back to the TV screen, but everyone could feel his anger as his shoulders shook violently.

Both fists creaked.

It's just that he didn't say anything the whole time......
