"There is no such thing as a perfect formation in this world, but I have to admit that Manchester United's midfield is really a textbook and worth studying, and it minimizes the impact of the ups and downs of the players' form on the team." Mourinho said with admiration.

Since it's a no-core, it won't cause the team to collapse because someone is in bad shape, unless it's really unlucky enough that all four of the midfielders are in a slump together, but that possibility is too little.

"As we said, Jim, in the future, the training of the youth team should be more responsive to the running distance, and it is very difficult to get the ball back after conceding the ball, so we have to try to make sure that every possession can be used to the fullest!"

When Cassel heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

'I've watched the footage of the first two seasons and I've got a bit of an idea of the players and I know a lot of the players are very capable, but the professional league is different from the amateur league, so in the new season we're on the defensive.

With that, Mourinho once again walked to the tactical blackboard.

"Last season's defensive tactics were more about moving the defensive line forward, which is very good for the free and loose amateur league, and it has achieved good results, but the professional league is different, all teams are based on merit, and the tactical discipline is stronger, and the defensive line is more demanding on the players in the backline, and at the same time more risky, especially when the back is out of position, the opponent can face our back line directly, which is bad, I don't like that!"

If the defensive line moves forward, the defensive formation is basically not recycled, which leads to the fact that the back line cannot be recycled, otherwise the distance from the midfield is too large, and it will be directly blown out by the opponent, and in this case, it is very dangerous to be counterattacked, and once the back fails to grab his position, the requirements for the backline players, especially the central defenders, are higher.

"I advocate an orderly recovery of the formation when defending, the first thing to consider at the back is to stand in his position, protect the defensive line, and counter-rob in the midfield, slow down the opponent's rhythm, and block them from entering the goal of their own side 32 meters, because someone once counted that 97% of the goals are scored in this area, as long as they are not allowed to enter this area easily, then our defense is a success!"

"And for this, we have to go back to the requirements just now, the player's off-ball running plays a significant role in attack, and it is equally important in defense, how to cut off the connection between the opposing ball carrier and teammates through effective and reasonable running, this is a direction we will work on next!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood Mourinho's coaching characteristics, that is, stability, but it does not mean conservative, because his stability is based on the whole, taking all possible surnames into account, and then giving a surname strategy one by one, resolving it, and finally ensuring that the team can get what they want and results.

"One more thing, I want to ask everyone, what is the strongest way to cooperate?"

Everyone fell silent, and even Kassel, who had been in the Manchester United Academy for so long, felt that the question seemed a little inexplicable, and he didn't know how to answer it.

After a while, Mourinho himself came up with the answer.

"The triangle, whether it's in attack or defense, the triangle is the strongest, you know, the pyramids in Egypt are also triangles, so they can withstand the wind and sand for tens of millions of years, and the team's cooperation is the same, with three players as a small unit, which is also the focus of our next training for the academy and the first team."

"When attacking, three people cooperate in a small area, constantly advancing layer by layer, and when defending, it is also three people who cooperate with each other, control the area, and then from point to surface, and finally evolve into a group and even the whole team running around each other, so that our offense and defense will have a considerable number of bullets, and very flexible!"

This is obviously something brought out from Barcelona's side, because Xiao Yu had heard in his previous life that Barcelona's youth training and first-team training seem to place great emphasis on three-team cooperation, which is the same as Mourinho's philosophy, which emphasizes the control of space in the triangle relationship between attack and defense.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly thought, Barcelona in the previous life was a typical representative of ball control, Mourinho was a typical representative of space control, and Manchester United was an outstanding representative of the running system without the ball, but in this life, these three systems have all poured into the new Manchester United, what kind of chemistry will this make the tactical system of the new Manchester United?

Some people once said that Mourinho only learned a layer of skin in Barcelona, but did not learn the essence of Barcelona, that is, Barcelona's set of stepped running positions, which made the team he coached only to control the space, but now he has joined the system of running without the ball that even Cruyff is ashamed of, what will be the result?

Xiao Yu had to admit that he was really looking forward to it!

But Xiao Yu obviously didn't know that Mourinho was even more looking forward to and excited than him!

The reason why he came to the new Manchester United was to practice his tactical philosophy, but he definitely did not expect that there would be a Kassel here, and in the past two years, Kassel has helped the new Manchester United establish a set of prototypes for running without the ball, from the youth team to the first team, there is a certain foundation.

The most rare thing is that Cassel is very familiar with Manchester United's system of running without the ball, he is Harrik Harrison's right-hand man, and from him, he can learn what he lacks, which makes Mourinho feel that this is the best opportunity to make his coaching philosophy perfect.

Every coach should have his own coaching philosophy and system, and Mourinho is currently looking for such a system.

At this time, he suddenly felt that joining the new Manchester United could definitely be said to be his wisest choice!

"In addition to the training and tactical issues, I also have some ideas about the team's staffing, first of all we only have three strikers with their own characteristics, and I'm happy with that, but if we can bring in another striker with great skills, it will enrich our team's attacking routine."

"Don't worry, José, I've already started to bring in such a player, I'll send his information to your office later, he's an Argentinian, his name is Rodrigo Palacio, a very good player!"

Mourinho nodded, he had watched the video of the new Manchester United, and he probably knew the ability level of the team's players, especially when he knew that these players were personally introduced by Xiao Yu, he still trusted Xiao Yu's vision.

"We also need two wide players, preferably the type that is fast and has good technique."

Novik moved to Birmingham, Darren Lyons retired as a coach, Rich Willens moved to Droysden on a free transfer, and there is only one Hleb left in the team, although Olic can also play as a left winger, but there is a real shortage of people on the wing.

"Don't worry, I already have a suitable candidate in this regard, I will discuss it with you after the meeting, and I also asked the scouts to start looking for a suitable candidate to see if there is a suitable candidate, and bring in another one!"

The three wide players, plus cameos Olic and Palacio, will be enough for the team for the rest of the season.

"After Karl retired, plus a number of players left, we currently have Juninho Jr., De Rossi, Poulsen and Essien in the middle of the midfield, Essien is young, good strength, but not very stable, De Rossi is also a young player, it is difficult to play the main role, I need to bring in another player with a certain quality."

Xiao Yu also agreed, and he even began to search in his head for who among the players that the new Manchester United could bring in met Mourinho's requirements.

"In the end I need an extra centre-back and a right wing-back, where the right wing-back should be quicker, have a certain amount of assist, and be able to recycle the defence!"

It is well known that Jose Mourinho's tactics emphasise running off the ball, so it may be difficult for a tall but slow player like Stansson to take the place at full-back in his team, as he will be putting more emphasis on full-backs up front and assisting.

"I've got a right wing-back!" Boas laughed, and after attracting everyone's attention, he continued: "Boacingva from Boavista of the Portuguese First Division, he was loaned to the Portuguese third division team Freamund last season, but he didn't get many appearances, he is still very young at 18 years old, he is very fast, he has both attack and defense, I think it is good! ”

Mourinho, through Lourenço's connections, knew that Boyas was very familiar with the Portuguese league, and at the same time had a certain understanding of his vision, so he was also very interested in the people he recommended, and immediately looked at Xiao Yu.

As soon as Xiao Yu heard about Bosingwa, he immediately remembered that Mourinho had taken him with him when he was in charge of Porto, and then to Chelsea, and was a very powerful right wing-back.

"The question is, is he willing to come to League C?" Xiao Yu asked Boyas with a smile.

The latter smiled, "I have some contact with him, I can try to convince him, but promise to give him a chance." ”

Mourinho thought for a moment and promised: "As long as he has the ability, I will give him the main force!" ”

Boas understood what Mourinho meant and nodded in agreement.

"I'm worried that Boavista won't be easy to release at a low price, especially for foreign teams, they are worried about debt, so the transfer fee should not be less than 200,000 euros!"

"You go and negotiate, we'll make a cash deal!" Xiao Yu said with a smile that for Bosingwa, he was very aware of the reliable surname of this deal.

This sentence also made Mourinho and others, who had just joined the new Manchester United, excited, because they knew that Xiao Yu was really willing to spend money as he said before, and this year he has been engaged in football and wants to get good results without spending money, which is almost unique, and even Arsenal's Arsene Wenger has spent a lot of money to introduce players this year

ps: I can't sleep and get up at half past four, I'm very depressed!

I also like some great players, but I can't buy them now, or it's not the right time, so everyone wait!

Lao Chen is not a casual person, but he is not a person when he gets up, hehe
