Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 283: Mourinho’s Plan in Mind (First Update, Please Vote for Me)

Although the outside world is generally not optimistic about Liverpool, the Liverpool players themselves are still quite optimistic. They showed this confidence in training.

This kind of self-confidence is really strong, so that even if they are near each other's lair, they don't show the slightest panic.

Where does this strong self-confidence come from?

It goes back to their away game against Newcastle United.

It was that reversal victory that filled Liverpool's players with fighting spirit and strength.

Martin O'Neal naturally knows this, and he must make full use of this, and he must make good use of it.

In the past two days, he had ordered his assistants to go out and search for newspapers related to the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand Spanish. You will always understand. Find someone to translate it and see what is actually written.

Then find out the reports that slander and belittle Liverpool and make them into newspaper clippings.

On the last day before the game, he showed it to the Liverpool players during a tactical meeting.

"This is the opinion of the local media in Madrid on our game these days." O'Neal shook the newspapers in his hand.

"Can you guess what it says?" he asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and then Chen Yingxiong raised his arms. After getting O'Neal's permission, he stood up and said: "What's there to guess, boss? They must be scolding us. For example, we will definitely win. If you can't make it to Real Madrid, you will definitely be eliminated...that kind of thing, you think, right?"

Chen Yingxiong turned to ask his teammates, and everyone nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

O'Neill smiled: "You guessed it right, hero. The enemy has nothing good to say to us. "Aspen" said that Real Madrid will defeat us at home without any effort!" He held up the Aspen newspaper and said.

Then he changed another newspaper: "And this, "Marca" believes that Real Madrid is already considering its opponents in the semi-finals."

He put down Marca. He held up another newspaper and said: "This is good news for you, hero. It says that you may work hard to score a goal in the game, but you still can't change Liverpool's fate of being eliminated..."

Chen Yingxiong curled his lips.

"Look, hero, in their eyes, your threat is limited to scoring a goal!" Suarez, who was sitting next to him, touched Chen Yingxiong and teased.

Chen Yingxiong secretly gave him a middle finger.

Martin O'Neill continued above: "Obviously, no one expected us. This is the enemy's home court. They haven't lost at the Bernabeu for two years and what we have to do is such a difficult thing. . But I have confidence in you, and I believe you have confidence in this too!"

"Maximum confidence!" Chen Yingxiong raised his right fist and shouted loudly.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but everyone's eyes shone with the same light as Chen Yingxiong's.

Their thoughts were the same as Chen Yingxiong's. It's just that they didn't shout out their thoughts directly like Chen Yingxiong.

O'Neal nodded: "I know you're full, hero. You're so full that it's almost overflowing."

Everyone laughed again, this time just to tease Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong didn't care about the boss's jokes.

After the laughter subsided, Martin O'Neill continued: "So, let's give them a surprise in tomorrow's game. Think about it, if we beat them at the Bernabeu tomorrow, those who once vowed that we would be defeated The ones who get eliminated. What a wonderful look on their faces!”

Mourinho stood in front of the home team's coaching bench at the Bernabeu Stadium. At this time, the Bernabeu Stadium was still 28 hours away from the start of the game.

The stadium was deserted. He is only possible here because he is the head coach of Real Madrid.

He stood in front of the home team's coaching bench and looked around.

There will be a fierce battle here tomorrow.

Mourinho has a different view than those reporters. He does not think Liverpool will be easy to deal with. Chen Yingxiong certainly needs attention, but he is not the only one who needs attention.

The whole of Liverpool is dangerous.

Before this crucial game, he suddenly appeared in this stadium. Why is this.

Mourinho began to walk towards the stadium. He strolled on the Bernabeu turf, feeling the solid ground under his feet.

He also touched the turf and found that the turf was relatively short.

He nodded with satisfaction.

These are all continued to be pruned according to his requirements.

Short grass and hard ground lack elasticity, but will allow the football to roll quickly on it and bounce off the bottom higher. Rush forward faster. These characteristics are in line with Real Madrid's tactical style.

Real Madrid's football is fast, very fast. If the turf is too soft, players will feel unable to exert force on it, and it will also affect the speed of the football rolling. Some passes can easily penetrate the opponent's defense on short turf, but not on long turf. It will encounter greater resistance and slow down.

This turf is indeed the most suitable for Real Madrid to play on.

But he also knows that Liverpool's football also emphasizes speed, especially the two wings, which are very fast when they really counterattack.

Liverpool's football tradition places emphasis on defense and defensive counterattacks. You have to be impregnable when defending, and sharp enough when counterattacking.

How is Liverpool's defense? Let's not talk about it. Their counterattack is indeed quite sharp so far.

Because there is a Chen Yingxiong in the middle, Liverpool's wings can play as much as they want without any restrictions.

But Mourinho is not afraid of this. If it is faster, his Real Madrid will be confident to defeat any opponent.

But Mourinho did not come today to inspect the turf condition of the stadium.

After he checked the turf, he stood up and looked at the empty Bernabeu Stadium.

If he can lead the team to defeat Liverpool and reach the semi-finals tomorrow, his goal is to continue moving forward, enter the finals, and then win the championship.

After he becomes the first head coach to lead his team to successfully defend the Champions League title after its restructuring, he plans to end his cycle at Real Madrid. Although there are still two years left before the contract expires.

But Mourinho feels that he has no goals here. He defeated Barcelona, ​​forcing Guardiola to take a year off and come out again. To this day, he still leads Real Madrid to suppress Guardiola's Barcelona.

He also became the first head coach to lead his team to defend the Champions League title since its restructuring.

Can he have any breakthroughs at Real Madrid?

Mourinho felt it was time to start over in a different place.

He has always had one thought in his mind, and that is to return to the Premier League.

At Chelsea, he led the team to win the Premier League championship, but he failed to lead Chelsea to win the Champions League.

He believes that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and only success in the Premier League can be considered true success.

However, he has not told anyone about this idea, except for his agent Mendes - he must know first, otherwise how can he help Mourinho contact the team?

Mourinho stands in this stadium today, feeling a bit like saying goodbye to his Real Madrid years.

He hopes to use a Triple Crown to bring his time in Real Madrid to a successful conclusion, just as he did in Inter Milan, using a Triple Crown to firmly nail himself in the hearts of Inter Milan fans.

He hopes to replicate this at Real Madrid.

Several years after he left Real Madrid, the fans here still talked about him.

Therefore, he must win this game!

Mourinho stood in the empty stadium, head held high, and the "Jose Mourinho Song" of Real Madrid fans seemed to ring in his ears.

"Oh oh oh! Mourinho - Mourinho! Mourinho! Mourinho Mourinho Mourinho!!"

Phil Gibbs, Tom Jackson, and Adam Smith were walking on the streets of Madrid carrying a big red flag. They followed other Liverpool fans towards the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Liverpool fans are not surprised. As the game approaches, there are more and more such people on the streets of Madrid.

But the banner carried by Phil Gibbs and the others still successfully attracted the attention of other Madrid people.

It was a big red flag, with a huge golden bear's head in the middle of the red flag.

This is the logo of the Red Bear Organization.

Anyone who sees this golden bear head or this flag will know that the Red Bear Organization is here.

The Red Bear Fans Organization is considered a young group among Liverpool fan organizations, but because of Chen Yingxiong, they are now very famous and well known to everyone. At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool's home stadium, the Kop stand is generally the area where the most die-hard Liverpool fans gather, and it is also the most lively place. But as the Red Bear took root in the Centenary Glory Stand, the Centenary Glory Stand has also become a majestic stand at Anfield Stadium.

In English stadiums, many fans have already seen the red bear. Calling Chen Yingxiong's name, and then Chen Yingxiong raising his hand to respond, it is said that it was originally invented by Red Bear fans.

This flag, symbolizing the Red Bear Organization, also followed their expeditions to the north and south, and was not only in the limelight but also showed its face in many places.

Many other fan groups in England knew the red bear was coming just by looking at this flag.

Although Red Bear is new, it has a large number of people and a huge momentum. Many members are young guys. Influenced by Chen Yingxiong's character and temperament, they are relatively arrogant and high-profile. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this fan organization is very strong, and ordinary fan organizations are simply unwilling to meet with them. After they met, the two sides started singing, chanting, and shouting loudly, but they couldn't win.

However, this organization is well-known in England, but it is still unknown in Madrid, Spain.

Wherever they passed, they attracted the attention of the people of Madrid.

When they arrived outside the Bernabeu Stadium, they met a group of Real Madrid fans.
