Chapter 179: Mourinho's Approach (First Update)

The game against Inter Milan was fast approaching.

Lazio and Inter Milan did not send a rotation squad in this game, and it is clear that Chang Sheng and Mourinho want to go together.

The Coppa Italia must be contested!

This is a very frustrating game, just because Chang Sheng and Mourinho met, it became a sweet and sweet.

If it weren't for the two of them being brought together, maybe this season's Coppa Italia would have been just an ordinary Coppa Italia.

But it is precisely because of the two mad coaches who are not convinced by anyone and who are unwilling to lose to anyone that the chicken-ribbed Italian Cup has become interesting and attention-grabbing.

I have to say that this semi-final draw is very mysterious......

It doesn't matter if you win the lot, whoever is in front of him is the same anyway, it's all defeat!

The media thought that they thought that Mourinho was in front of them to fight for the Coppa Italia.

But in fact, even without Mourinho, he would have to compete for the Coppa Italia this season.

He likes the feeling of winning the championship.

And the Coppa Italia schedule is very scattered and doesn't take much energy.

The first leg of the semi-finals takes place in early February. In the second round, he poked a rod until April 13.

The final will be on May 6, which is a far cry.

And to win the championship, there are only three more games.

In these three games, the constant victory can still hold.

Because both sides are very familiar, there was no temptation at all after the start of the game, and the two teams collided fiercely together.

Jose Mourinho still fielded the same squad in midfield against Lazio in the previous game.

The three defensive midfielders worked as sappers in midfield for one purpose - to disrupt Lazio's attacking rhythm.

The main thing is to make Lazio's attack not able to play very fluidly.

In this way, Lazio is much less of a threat to Inter.

The perennial response was very different from the previous game: Modric dropped back to the midfield position, and the two original midfielders moved forward to the central midfield position to protect Modric. David Silva and Gotze dropped back to become liberos up front, not wingers. Two full-backs actively stepped in to assist.

It's no different from the last game. The difference is ...... With the two midfielders up front, their task in this game is not only to protect Modric, but also to launch a counter-attack after a direct tackle up front.

Without going through others, they will launch a counterattack on their own. Complete the Fatal Pass.

This requires a high level of playmaking and offensive ability from the back.

But Chang Sheng believes Ledesma can do it.

Mereles will be a little worse. After all, he has only been in the team for less than a season, and even the mad dog tactics are still adapting. Unlike his other teammates. They have been honed for two or three seasons in a winning tactical system.

※※※

In this game, because both sides know very well what tactics the other side will use, the main thing in the competition is actually the performance of the players.

Anyway, everyone's tactics are open, how I will fight, how you will fight. I know it.

Those who should be restrained have also been restrained, and then it is time for the players to show their strength, such as why stars are called stars, why some players are worth tens of millions, and some players are only worth two or three million.

It's impossible for a manager to get everything done, they can't think of all the details and design all the routines. Then let the game strictly follow your own designed routine.

That's not a game, you can't even play a game. Playing games, there will be a must-score saved by the opponent's goalkeeper with the tip of his fingers, and he collapsed at the last moment with a three-goal lead......

Not to mention real-life soccer that isn't controlled with a joystick and mouse.

After the start of the game, Chang Sheng sat in the position of coach. Mourinho, on the other hand, got up and walked to the sidelines and looked inside the pitch.

The difference in performance between the two managers may also be telling.

In terms of the record against Mourinho, the perennial win is comprehensively superior.

Lazio also had a good result against Inter.

This makes it a little easier for Chang Sheng against Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Mourinho, on the other hand, had a solemn expression.

He was under a lot of pressure.

If he can't break Lazio's monopoly on the title, what is Moratti spending so much money on him?

※※※

Mourinho did not choose to attack in this game. Although Samuel Eto'o and Milito were both on the pitch, their main task was to defend.

Cups are not the same as leagues.

In the league, if you draw a game, it will be a draw, just one point.

In the cup competition, there is no point in the competition, the comparison is the result.

Even if there is a draw, it will be decided to win or lose.

The semi-finals are played on a two-legged home-and-away basis.

If both games are drawn, then extra time will be played, and if there is a draw in extra time, it will be a penalty shootout.

Jose Mourinho played the attention of this penalty shootout.

First try to draw Lazio at home, and then go to the second leg to continue to draw with Lazio away.

The 120 minutes were played 0:0, and the aggregate score was also 0:0, and the two sides went to a penalty shootout.

That's the strategy Mourinho came up with for a winning stance.

Using the penalty shootout, which is a relatively fair way to divide the winner, then Lazio's passing and running advantages are gone.

It is only left to compete in psychological quality and archery.

Mourinho is confident of that.

And Lazio, who are often wins, once played a penalty shoot-out, that is, in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 2006-2007 season. As a result, they lost to Bayern Munich on penalties.

The team that wins the team loses the penalty shoot-out opportunity, and the winning rate is 0 percent.

While this is not a definite indication that the winning teams are not good at penalty shoot-outs, it does at least show that they are not as good as they are in regular time, and that is chance.

Even if there is only a 10 per cent chance, it is worth the 100 per cent effort of Mourinho now.

After repeated research, Mourinho believes that the only way to beat Lazio is to defend to the death.

Park the bus in front of your door. Make your opponent have nothing to do.

When their passes are always broken, when their shots are blocked, when they can't find the direction to attack...... Their mindset will start to be unbalanced.

Mourinho thinks Lazio have been smooth sailing for too long, they are always winning. So far this season, I haven't lost a game in the league. All the games added up to only one loss, that is still a constant win deliberately released water.

long-term outside. Every player in this team will make winning a habit.

They may never have thought about what they would do when they encountered a problem they couldn't solve.

At that point, when they do come across, maybe they will start to get restless and overwhelmed.

When the mentality of the players is out of balance. It's useless for the head coach to be meticulous!

That's Mourinho's strategy.

He doesn't fight tactics with Chang Sheng, he fights with Chang Sheng's mentality!

Hold on!

Keep this game, and then go to the next game! Hold until victory!

※※※

Jose Mourinho's tactics were quite successful.

When Inter Milan, who were putting on a stubborn posture, really stopped the bus in front of the goal, Lazio couldn't help it.

Throughout the first half, Lazio scored eighteen shots, but they didn't score a goal!

Inter Milan managed to hold on to the score 0-0.

At the end of the first half, the Inter players were a little tired. But the spirit is quite good.

Even better than the half-time goal difference in the last meeting between the two sides.

Because Muntari and Sissoko were even chatting and walking down the field, talking and talking, I don't know what happy things they were talking about. The two of them laughed.

You know, they finished the first half ahead that time......

And now it's a draw.

The performance of the Inter Milan players has caused speculation among commentators.

"I don't know what the Inter players are happy about...... Now they are on their home turf and have not scored a goal, just a draw with Lazio. And Lazio has an all-round advantage on the field! In the first half, Lazio had eighteen shots on goal! With such a terrifying statistic, the players of Inter Milan can still laugh when they leave the field! ”

Caresa said with a frown.

And what made him strange was that Mourinho didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all, and he had a calm expression on his face. Seeing that Muntari and Sissoko were talking and laughing, they were not angry.

That's really ...... Odd.

※※※

Caressa, of course, would have wondered.

He didn't know that at half-time, Mourinho praised the performance of the whole team.

"Well done! Gentlemen! You guys did a great job! In the first half, they had a total of 18 shots, but they didn't score a single goal! I could even see the anxious expressions on the faces of the Lazio players at the end of the first half. Gentlemen, we are one game and forty-five minutes away from success! Stick with it and we can beat them! ”

※※※

And Chang Sheng is also cheering for his players in the dressing room.

'It was clear that our opponents wanted to draw us and then drag the two-legged final to penalties. That's the only way they can beat us - hope. But it's ridiculous, guys. They must not know how we train, and they don't know what a plan we have prepared. I think this game is a great opportunity. What a stupid opportunity to tell everyone who thinks the same way as Inter......"

"In the second half we used 'Hurricane' and every single one of you had to be actively involved in the attack. Use what we do best to crush their bodies and beliefs! Tell them that when they return to our home stadium in the second leg, they won't have a chance! ”

Chang Sheng said murderously.

How could he have been intimidated by Mourinho's tactics?

Because he happened to have prepared such a set of corresponding plans.

Codenamed Hurricane.

It means that no matter what obstacle you encounter, you will push it over like a hurricane and run it over!

Can't hold on?

Then I'll uproot you!

※※※

PS, the last day!

Ten more!

Although tens of millions of people have gone to me!

There is no other idea than to fight to the end!
