Chapter 525 I Need Your Support

Mourinho felt that he could no longer talk in circles with Zhuoyang, it was too tiring and too frustrating.

"Zhuoyang, I need a team that doesn't question my tactical arrangements and can't make irresponsible remarks on my personnel strategy."

Zhuo Yang made a 'please continue speaking' gesture: "I'm all ears."

Mourinho said: "It is undeniable that when I was a player, my level was very low. To put it nicely, it was a third-rate level. In fact, I was not at the level at all."

Zhuo Yang said with a smile: "Mr. Jurgen Klopp also often said that he was a third-rate player. At that time, we would say that he might have some misunderstanding of the word 'third-rate'."

Mourinho also smiled: "That's what I mean."

"But it is also undeniable that I am extremely professional when it comes to being a head coach. Maybe you... among all Real Madrid players, there will be a better head coach than me in the future, but now I am the only authority here."

Zhuoyang nodded in agreement. Whether you like Mourinho or not, you must admit that he is one of the best coaches today.

"So, no matter what the purpose, everyone must abide by the competition and training system I set. Zhuoyang, I don't force everyone to like me, but I hope everyone is professional and does their part. Things, don’t cross the line.”

"Zhuoyang, as you said, Real Madrid hasn't won anything yet. A mere La Liga championship cannot satisfy the appetite of people like you and me."

"Only the Champions League, or even the Triple Crown, can be a meritorious achievement for you and me, and can it be worthy of a club like Real Madrid."

"Zhuoyang, in order to achieve this goal, I need your support. I need you to help me suppress the ulterior voices in the team so that they can only speak secretly in the corner instead of openly questioning me like now. Decide."

If Zhuo Yang's public support is obtained, coupled with the Portuguese gang, which is directly related to him, the restless Spanish gang will have nothing to worry about. Unless they dare to brazenly betray Real Madrid's interests on the court, they will never be able to stir up trouble again. storm.

But Casillas and Ramos will never dare to play tricks on the court, because they have always regarded themselves as the spokespersons of Real Madrid. Once they do so, they will dig their own graves.

Mourinho will not be naive enough to think that a casual instigation can make Zhuoyang surrender. Zhuoyang is not Ribery. He has now revealed his purpose and is waiting for Zhuoyang to state his conditions.

In any wealthy club, or even all teams, the local players are the ones who cause the most trouble. They are like geese, always vigilantly guarding their cheese.

From the right to speak in the locker room to the influence in the media, to the status on the court, any disturbance will stimulate their sensitive nerves. The confrontation between local players and foreign head coaches is a natural attribute.

International players, especially big-name foreign players, value their interests on the court the most. They are basically unwilling to get involved in other aspects, and they will not compete with local players for the right to speak. This is also determined by their 'outsider' attributes.

During the first phase of the Real Madrid Galaxy, Spanish players such as Raul and Guti were the talkers in the locker room, while Zidane, Ronaldo and others held positions on the court. The two were clearly distinct, and Del Bosque balanced this relationship well. .

But they are afraid that local players may have the past AC Milan's "round table" attempt. This is a phenomenon that the club must suppress. Now, Real Madrid's Spanish gang has similar signs. Especially since 2008, this gang has transformed into European and even world champions. ,

It began to expand involuntarily.

Moreover, the "opposition" attribute inherent in the Spaniard's genes makes them not as pure as the Milan Round Table. Their current unity is entirely due to the unity and passive unity under the pressure of the tough head coach and powerful international players.

Once external restrictions are relaxed, Spanish clubs have always been lively internally, and dog bites dog is the norm.

Mourinho understands this locker room situation, and Zhuo Yang also understands it. Mourinho needs Zhuoyang to support him in suppressing the noise of the Spanish gang. Zhuoyang also understands that he is such a weight that affects the balance, and this is exactly his purpose of joining forces this year.

Mourinho is waiting for Zhuo Yang to propose conditions, because as an international player, Zhuo Yang has no natural need to confront the head coach, and Zhuo Yang has not had such a reputation before. The coaches who have worked with him all praise Zhuo Yang. .

If you were to vote among head coaches around the world which player they would most like to work with, Zhuo Yang would be ranked in the top three.

In Mourinho's view, Zhuoyang has the foundation and willingness to cooperate with him, just like he and Ronaldo. Although they cannot become friends, it does not prevent them from supporting each other in football.

But at this moment Mourinho is also worried. He is afraid that Zhuoyang's condition is to return to the front line and play as a forward.

Mourinho and Ancelotti are two completely different head coaches. An Pang is the kind of housewife-type coach who cooks whatever you give me. He is not picky about food, but he is bound by the team's upper limit. To what height you reach, character is very important.

Mourinho has a persistent self-persistence on football skills and tactics. His tactical play has taken shape. For those routines, eleven suitable and outstanding players are needed to fill this formation. Mourinho's football is very picky and expensive, but there is no upper limit to the sky.

In Mourinho's football tactics, the center of the midfield is the top priority, and it is also the place where he is most picky. There are very few players in this position who can perfectly fit his tactical philosophy.

After more than ten years of coaching, in Mourinho's view, there are only two and a half players who meet his dream, Montolivo of Inter Milan and Zhuo Yang now, and the remaining half is Deco from the Porto period.

Although other players such as Lampard, Ballack, Alonso, Detu and Khedira are all excellent, they cannot perfectly fit his philosophy.

Mourinho is a perfectionist in football. He likes to compete with himself and traditional football.

If Zhuo Yang once proposed that he return to the striker in exchange for support for Mourinho, Mourinho would be quite embarrassed.

Zhuoyang has achieved great success as a winger in Barcelona. He doesn't pick which side he chooses, but once he plays the same way in Real Madrid, it is trivial to sacrifice Di Maria or even Benzema, and it will also have a great impact on Ronaldo's scoring ability. Great suppression.

Zhuo Yang on the front line is too domineering.

Mourinho is not Cristiano Ronaldo's father, and he won't feel sorry for the president's inability to fully display his talents. But the problem is that the combined force of domineering Zhuoyang and suppressing Cristiano Ronaldo may not be much better than it is now, and this does not include the team's success. Minus the loss of Zhuo Yang in the midfield.

Guardiola can do that because Barcelona has Habaib, and the key is Xavi. But Real Madrid does not have Xavi, and even with Mourinho's tactics, there is no living environment for Xavi-type players.

Mourinho doesn't need Xavi, he never has, he only needs Zhuoyang.

The frightened Mourinho sipped his coffee and waited for Zhuoyang's conditions to blurt out. In fact, the cup was empty, but he didn't notice it.
