"What did you say?"

When Yang Cheng was in his office, he couldn't help but be amused when he heard that someone was analyzing his tactics in Interrelo.

"Frankly, nine times out of ten, it's right, that's why I was surprised!" Muhrensteen was impressed by the guy named Rafa, especially for his tactical qualities.

"Is there really that much outstanding?" Paul Beyer furrowed.

When Muhrensteen saw the German's eyes, he suddenly softened, "I don't know, anyway, in my opinion, he is really great!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

"You don't have a lot of tactics to speak of!" Tim Hank couldn't help but smack.

Muhrensteen really wants to fight with this guy, but he has to admit that what he is best at is technical training, as well as the carving of offensive skills, and he can only be regarded as sloppy about the team's tactical system structure.

"But René says he's great, so it should be pretty much the same!" Paul Beyer felt the same way, "Yang Cheng, didn't you deliberately want to hire a tactical assistant before?" ”

Paul Beyer has a high level of tactical literacy, but targeted tactics are not his strong point, and in this regard, he can not help Yang Cheng much, so Yang Cheng wants to hire another tactical consultant to join his team to share the headaches and troubles in this regard.

Seriously, the longer he worked in the position of head coach, the more Yang Cheng felt that his brain was not enough.

There are so many opponents, each opponent has different tactical characteristics and advantages and disadvantages, Yang Cheng has to take on a lot of work every day, which is really tiring for him, so he holds the attitude that money is better than death, and decides to recruit more assistants to share his workload.

Looking at the whole of Europe, Yang Cheng's coaching team is also huge.

With Moniz and Muhrensteen on the technical side, Tim Hank on the physical side, Di Palma on the goalkeeper training side, Paul Bayer on the defensive and overall training side, plus Chris Schmidt and the entire research team who have gradually shifted his role to the research center, Yang Cheng's behind-the-scenes team is really full of talent.

Every one of these people who goes out is a talent that other managers dream of!

But even so, he still felt that it was not enough!

"Let's leave it alone, I'll talk to him again when I find a chance!" Yang Cheng replied casually.

Everyone didn't care too much, the role of tactical consultant is not something that anyone can do, especially for a top coach like Yang Cheng, being able to be his tactical consultant itself means becoming famous in one fell swoop, and it is a great benefit for working independently in the future.

Just imagine, anyone who looks for a job with the aura of Caesar's staff, and the teams of Europe's top leagues are not yet flocking to it?

If nothing else, just look at the popularity of Ferguson's group of staff.

But because it is important, Yang Cheng will not make decisions casually.

Of course, if Yang Cheng knew the name of this fat man, maybe he would go over to see him immediately.

Next, Yang Cheng had a long talk with the coaching staff about the current situation of the team.

Inter Milan's opponent in the 23rd round is Verona, although it is an away game, but the problem of winning the opponent is not very big, there is a Champions League game to play in midweek, and the next game is to welcome Udinese at home, it can be said that three games, Inter Milan is not unlikely to win the opponent.

'We have to accept the fact that we have to have a player to replace Emerson in the coming period, so in the next training session we have to think about the midfield combination of Zanetti, Andrea Pirlo and Deco, especially Zanetti!'

Yang Cheng solemnly explained the tasks of the coaching staff, and as the burden on him became heavier and heavier, the arrangement of the training program gradually shifted to the assistants.

Yang Cheng is young, but he is also just a person, a person of flesh and blood, and it is impossible for him to do everything by himself.

"I don't want to give Carlo Ancelotti a chance to avenge the Milan derby!" Yang Cheng said word by word.

The Milan derby is the 25th round of the league, and Inter Milan won a 6:0 victory in the first leg of the derby, which is really a big advantage, and even made Trim out of class because of this.

After Ancelotti replaced him, he once vowed to complete revenge, and his AC Milan team did quickly turn the situation around after the initial decline, and now the performance in Serie A is getting better and better. ,

Yang Cheng is a man who pays a lot of attention to momentum, so he wants to continue to win and continue to maintain his psychological advantage against AC Milan.

In a team, momentum is very important, which is why there are many fans who say that they appreciate the domineering of a certain team and so on.

In the 26th round of the league, Inter Milan welcomed Juventus at home, and Yang Cheng wanted to take revenge!

…………

…………

The away game against Verona was not too difficult for Inter Milan.

Although they have suffered a recent five-game winless run, two of which were Coppa Italia matches, which will not affect Inter Milan's bloody slaughter of the underdogs, Yang Cheng's team showed more than one cut of strength over their opponents in this game, and controlled the overall situation from the beginning of the game.

Although Zanetti is not as good as Emerson in terms of organization and creativity, he is better than Emerson in terms of defense, running, and speed, and Yang Cheng is now going to play to his strengths and adjust a set of tactics to match him, so that he has a stable space to play.

3:0, Inter Milan defeated the opponent away, and greatly vented his recent grievances.

After the game, the Inter Milan players also kept saying in an interview with reporters in the comprehensive area that the current atmosphere of the team is very good, there is no problem, and I believe that Inter Milan can continue to maintain the current momentum.

'We're 23 games unbeaten and if you count last season, we're even more unbeaten and we want to keep that momentum going and keep our unbeaten run until the end of the season.'

"To be able to win the championship with an undefeated record is definitely a wonderful thing!"

Even Nesta, who has always kept a low profile, was full of praise for the team's unbeaten record in an interview with reporters.

"Recently, there has been a growing call for you to break AC Milan's record of 58 games unbeaten in that year, and Fabio Capello has said that you have a good chance of breaking the record he set, what do you think about that?"

Nesta laughed, "I also hope to break AC Milan's unbeaten record, but we are still a long way from this record, I agree with what our leader said, the game has to be played one game at a time, we don't think about the unbeaten record, we don't think about the glory and the title, we have to do our best to win every game!" ”

After listening to the on-site reporters, they couldn't help but nod their heads in appreciation, and it can be seen that Yang Cheng is in place for Inter Milan from top to bottom, because even if it is unbeaten in 23 games so far, the points gap with Juventus, which is second in the league, has expanded to 11 points, but Inter Milan still never mentions winning the league.

A very important reason is well known, that is, the higher the profile, the greater the pressure on the team!

"So, what about the opponent in the next game, Porto?" The reporter asked casually.

In everyone's eyes, Porto is undoubtedly not an opponent of Inter Milan, but a character who goes through the motions.

'We'll respect every opponent but I'm sure our team can win this game.' Nesta appears to be full of confidence, playing at home against Portugal's fifth-placed opponents, and if he is not confident, he should really hit the wall.

…………

…………

A day later than Inter Milan's game, Porto had just beaten Setúbal 4-1 away from home, Mourinho completed his seventh game in Porto, and his list of achievements is also very impressive, with 6 wins and 1 draw, unbeaten!

It also included a classic comeback against Benfica, where Mourinho's side relied on their fighting spirit to reverse Benfica in the second half and complete a classic 3-2 comeback after falling behind by two goals.

It also gives Porto fans more confidence in Jose Mourinho's side, and hopefully the Portuguese Caesar can make a huge difference to Porto, and it is best to continue to improve this season.

That is, after playing Setúbal, Mourinho was interviewed by reporters after the game.

When the Portuguese reporter talked about Nesta's words, Mourinho grabbed his black coat and nodded incessantly: "Yes, I agree with Nesta's statement, Inter Milan really deserve to win, and it should be a big win." ”

Just when everyone was surprised how Mourinho, who was proud of himself, could suddenly show weakness, he continued.

"Inter Milan is a great team, Caesar is a great manager, the combination of the two, to create a great Inter Milan, the market value of their players can even be said to be dozens of times ours, even more than a hundred times, they have the stars in every position, they should win by a big score, otherwise, for them, it is a failure!" ,

It is clear that the Portuguese are in a position where Inter Milan must win big to win.

"But Inter Milan seem to be in trouble lately, having only suffered a five-game winless run and injuries ...... the team"

Mourinho directly waved his hand to interrupt the reporter's words, shook his head and smiled: "Why do you say this? I don't understand, Inter are the favourites, they are the defending champions, the players are better than us, they deserve to win, there's no need to say that, is it? ”

The reporter was immediately teased by Mourinho and was speechless, this guy is still very sharp, especially when he wants to put someone together.

"Mr. Mourinho, not long ago, Mr. Da Costa said that the club chose you as head coach because they felt that you were the new Caesar who could help Porto create the glory and magic of Yang Cheng's Kaiserslautern years, what do you think?"

"I'm confident, I'm going to be successful in Porto, we're going to make a breakthrough in the league and in Europe, we're going to say goodbye to the last three years without a title, but I'm not the new Caesar, I'm Caesar II, I'm Jose Mourinho!"

The reporter shrugged his shoulders, looking like he didn't care about his defense, "Then what do you think of your opponent, Yang Cheng?" ”

Mourinho frowned, "I don't think he's really as invincible as you say, if he was really that strong, he would have been the best coach in the world a long time ago!" ”

All the reporters were immediately happy, and it was obvious that they all felt that Mourinho was deliberately trying to provoke Yang Cheng.

Young, only 29 years old, he should indeed be quite easily angry!

…………

…………

"Jose Mourinho?" At the press conference before the game, when Yang Cheng heard the reporter relay Mourinho's words, he was stunned for his Oscar talent, "Who is this guy?" ”

A group of reporters immediately burst into laughter, they would not believe it, Yang Cheng does not know Mourinho, because Yang Cheng has always been known for his cautious preparation, how can he not even know the opponent's head coach?

"Just kidding, I know him, in the dugout at Barcelona!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, "I think Mourinho is right, no matter what aspect we look at, there is no reason to lose, as long as we do well enough and play at our normal level, we can beat the opponent, but I believe that Porto will also find ways to create problems for us." ”

"Do you have any confidence in this game?" A reporter stood up and asked.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course, the opponents have already admitted defeat in advance, of course we can win!" ”

After a pause, Yang Cheng added: "We are not the Inter Milan of the past, we have enough experience and fighting spirit to deal with any type of game, which is very important for a top team, our players know how to deal with the pressure that the opponent deliberately creates, and this has become part of the modern professional football game!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

"May I ask Caesar, what do you think of the fact that some Portuguese media refer to Mourinho as Caesar II?"

"Am I so old? I'm 29 years old, he's 39 years old, and if I meet him on the street in terms of age, I have to call him uncle respectfully! Yang Cheng teased Mourinho again.

"He's a very strong manager, he's very ambitious, he's very good at playing psychological warfare, so he will deliberately show weakness before the game, say a lot of things, and paralyze my players, and football is a sport that relies on psychology and emotions, so I'm sure there will be a lot of opponents who fall for him!"

"However, I believe that does not include us Inter Milan because we are not stupid and I will be strict with my players and play this game the way we do!"

The reporters at the scene were all hooked, they hadn't seen Yang Cheng engage in a war of words with his opponent like this for a long time.

As he became more and more solid in the position of Inter Milan manager, and his performance became better and better, Yang Cheng's image became more and more convincing, and he is now a well-known coach in Europe, which makes him no longer as impulsive as before.

"Ever thought about what to say to Mourinho?" A reporter tried to pull the conversation away. , Yang Cheng laughed, "You must be making a big fuss about us again!" The scene suddenly burst into laughter, even those Italian reporters who were not on the right path with Yang Cheng laughed.

"I want to say it's unfair to compare me with him, for him, because no matter what, he's going to suffer!" Yang Cheng still decided to say something.

"If he wins tomorrow's game, or even if he draws with Inter Milan, then you will definitely make a headline on the front page of the major newspapers the next day, Jose Mourinho has won, or he has drawn with Caesar."

After a pause, Yang Cheng always maintained a smile, making people always believe that he was just ridiculing.

"But what about me? If I win against Porto, there will be a whole bunch of Inter fans coming up to me and asking, hey, Caesar, who is Jose Mourinho? ”

Yang Cheng's somewhat spoofed tone made all the reporters present laugh, but they had to admit that what Yang Cheng said was the truth, because the two were far from being comparable in terms of fame and status.

…………

…………

In the round of war of words before the game, Mourinho, who offended many coaches in Portugal, failed to get a little advantage from Yang Cheng's side, and all reporters had to admit that Yang Cheng just didn't fight a war of words, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't fight a war of words.

The Chinese, who was praised by Ferguson as the opponent who best suited his taste, seemed to be mature, but in his bones he was still the same Caesar as before, he still had to stand on the sidelines and command every game, still had to hug every player, still so confident, so calm.

It's just that with the increase in age and the improvement of his status, he is slowly making himself more charismatic!

But it was also a coincidence that Porto arrived in Milan ahead of schedule and went to the Meazza Stadium to acclimatize to the venue and warm up, and Inter Milan also adapted to the Meazza Stadium, which had just been replaced with turf, but the two teams passed by like enemies, staggered, and Yang Cheng did not meet Mourinho.

This disappointed the reporters who were guarding outside, and they were all eager to see the real PK between Yang Cheng and Mourinho!

But this is not because Mourinho is very famous, in fact, the Portuguese do not have any fame at all, he is just a little more famous in Portugal, but in mainland Europe, compared with Yang Cheng, his fame is really as bleak as the bright moon, is it comparable?

It wasn't until many, many years later, that all European fans recalled this year's scene and couldn't help but relish that it turned out that this pair of enemies had already been on the bar back then!

But in reality, all the reporters are just chasing Yang Cheng, hoping to dig out more news points from him and his Inter Milan, preferably one that can boost the sales of the newspaper.

The first time Yang Cheng and Mourinho really met as opponents, it was in the warm-up before the start of the game.

Both of them are wearing big windbreakers, one is wearing Armani, and the other is wearing their own brand, purely from the appearance, Yang Cheng is undoubtedly more popular and likable, after all, he is not only a head coach now, but also a darling in the fashion field, and at the same time there is a lot of aura and identity behind him.

But this does not weaken the smell of gunpowder between them!

"Hello, Caesar!"

"Hello, Mr. Mourinho!"

The two of them held hands together, looking very polite, but in fact, they were competing with each other...... ）
