Chapter 725: Surprise Attack
Mourinho didn't give everyone time to think as quickly as Hansen did, but quickly threw out the final starting 11 for the Champions League final, and this starting lineup was really unexpected.
In terms of goalkeeper and defence, there are few changes, with goalkeeper Cesar, right-back McConn, centre-backs Lucio and Samuel in a combination that has been tested in numerous tough battles this season.
In terms of midfield defense, due to Mota's yellow card suspension in the second leg of the semi-final with Barcelona, Stankovic has not started much this season under the exclusion of Hansen, and Mourinho has discharged the Argentine midfield combination of captain Zanetti and Cambiasso in the midfield, Zanetti has played in the midfield position many times this season, and from a purely technical point of view, he is also fully qualified for this position. And the left-back position that he has often played in the past will be filled by Romanian Zivo!
As for the double problem of maximizing the role of Han Sen and the most confusing balance deliberately thrown by Mourinho before, it surprised everyone, in this game, among the 4231 discharged by Mourinho, in addition to the brave Milito as a single striker, Eto'o, Sneijder and Han Sen will play the position of three attacking midfielders, and Han Sen's position will be the left midfielder!
At the beginning of the season, Mourinho used a 4312 formation most of the time, with Milito and Eto'o as two strikers, Sneijder playing as a front, two midfielders playing at the back, and Hansen in the middle in tandem, this formation really maximized Hansen's function, and even allowed Hansen to score a hat-trick against AC Milan in his league debut! But it has to be said. This style of play, of course, makes Han Sen dazzling, but the overall football effect is biased. And the wings only rely on the individual abilities of McCone and Zanetti, which puts too much pressure on the two. In the second half of the season, Pandev, who was active in running and working hard defensively, joined halfway through, allowing Mourinho to return to the style of play that flew on both wings, although in the absence of Hansen and Sneijder, this style of play also achieved a fast and smooth effect and blossomed in many places. But Pandev is more like a sapper for the attacking team. Lacking Milito's flash of inspiration, and not having the ability of Eto'o on the other side to attract and suppress opponents! Especially in the Champions League final, which is full of big names, Pandev's presence is obviously much weaker.
So. In the last moments before the game, Mourinho weighed the pros and cons of all aspects before choosing to take Pandev, and Han Sen, the biggest name in the team, played this position. But. Everyone has this question. Although Han Sen's surprise effect as the left midfielder has been achieved, can it really play a surprise role?
Mourinho seemed to see through everyone's thoughts, sitting in the chair and proudly said: "The Champions League final is not a long league, not a beautiful friendly match, but an encounter, influenced by handsome, I have been studying Chinese culture recently, and there is a word in Chinese tactics. It's called Surprise Winning. ”
Han Sen sat down and unconsciously touched his ears.
Jose Mourinho paused: "Bayern Munich is also a team that flies on both wings, and their main attack comes from Arjen Robben and Ribery. But the best news now is that Franck Francois Francois is out of action due to a suspension, just like our Motta motta, leaving only Arjen Robben the most dangerous of the two wings. Speaking of wings and wings, speaking of Robben, I don't think anyone in the world is more qualified to comment on these two names than I am at the moment. ”
Mourinho said this with a look of pride on his face. After winning the UEFA Champions League with Portugal's Porto side in 2004, he joined Premier League giants Chelsea, taking them from an upstart to a big club. At that time, he even tapped into the role of Robben, allowing Robben and Ireland Fast Motors to form wings. Especially Robben, who was once known as "bringing the ball, the whole Premier League is trembling", and Robben's side rush and inward shooting also became a beautiful scenery in the Premier League and even world football at that time. And 4231 has slowly become the mainstream of the tactical formation of world football under the sudden rise of Chelsea and the advancement of the world's football wave!
"Handsome, Eto'o!" Mourinho slapped the magnet pieces on the tactical board, "You guys are responsible for most of the breakouts and shots in the game!" Milito, you are responsible for finding all the opportunities you can find! As for the splitter, Sneijder! ”
Seeing that many people may not have understood what they mean and are afraid to speak up, Mourinho said: "Let's go back to the topic of handsome, handsome is our team's world footballer of the year, he can score, he can assist, he can organize, he can defend, in the Olympics, he is a decathlon!" But our team has no shortage of scorers, no shortage of assisters, no shortage of playmakers, and no shortage of defenders, so the most important thing to do is to break through! At the same time, this is also the tactical focus of our game, breaking with the ball and breaking without the ball! ”
Mourinho's words continued to turn sharply, and immediately turned the ideological mobilization into a tactical discussion again, but the real business study is far more attractive than the formalistic empty words, and even Han Sen has no time to take into account Mourinho's performance tonight, but listens attentively to Mourinho's arrangement.
"Actually, I'm talking about individual dribbling and flexible positioning!" Jose Mourinho explained what it means to break through with and without the ball, "Bayern Munich's style of play will definitely be like Barcelona's, playing as a whole, so on the night of the final, the concise and clear attack will become the mainstream, I hope that our attack, no more than the four people I mentioned earlier, can be finished!" ”
Jose Mourinho's ace tactic was originally to defend the counter-attack, but in a slightly more exciting way.
Speaking of this, Mourinho turned his gaze to Han Sen again: "You are already the first person in world football, I hope you don't waste every minute in this game, there are three direct reasons to put you in the left midfield, one is that I want to rely on you to completely curb Robben's attack, second, you are the main player who is the most rested in the sprint stage of our game, I hope you will play all the strength you have reserved up to now on the side, and third, the position of left midfielder will stimulate your greatest desire to attack, You can play without crosses, you can go down, you can cut inside, you can pass, and then you can fire infinitely if you want! ”
In addition to the Beijing Olympics, in Mallorca, Barcelona and Inter Milan for two and a half seasons, Han Sen slowly retreated from the front to the back, and the defensive organization became the main content of the game, although he scored frequently, but it was earned one by one by virtue of his physical running and super goal-front ability, and now Mourinho in front of all his teammates, tempted himself with an infinite fire, Han Sen did feel a feeling of being refreshed in his heart, and this feeling has been for a while, Didn't show up at the pre-race preparation kick-off meeting!
Mourinho's mobilization and explanation immediately reassured all the players, and at the same time relieved everyone, so that after experiencing the honor of the Italian Cup and the Serie A championship, everyone rekindled their hunger and anticipation for the game.
Stepping out of the conference room, everyone walked through the corridor outside the house back to the room, outside was already full of stars, the evening breeze was refreshing, the star's wife and girlfriends were bored at this time, barbecuing next to the pond, watching their husbands and boyfriends finally come out of the meeting, they all waved happily, Xu Yun shouted her husband from afar, and suddenly the husband's pronunciation in various Chinese languages in the world was full of it.
Mourinho finally came out to see the scene and paused for a few seconds: "Junk food! You can only eat a maximum of one piece per person! The rest ...... It's all in the custody of my wife. ”
The players, who were supposed to be bored all night, heard that the coach had lifted the ban, and they all happily went straight to their lovers.
Han Sen looked back at Mourinho's back and walked a few steps quickly, disappeared into the corner of the corridor, stood in place for a moment, and then ran over with the shouts of the crowd, shouting as he ran: "Wife, keep the meat for me, don't let this group of grandsons snatch it away!"
