Chapter 88 Mourinho's Decision, Using Magic to Fight Magic [Please Subscribe! ]

Guardiola looked helplessly at the electronic scoreboard that was frozen at the end of the game.

1-1, the home team Granada was in front, and the visiting team Barcelona was behind.

Granada, who equalized the game with a set-piece in the 88th minute of the second half, was crazy!

The Granada players and coaching staff on the bench rushed into the stadium excitedly!

Their home stadium, Kamenes Stadium, was even more jubilant at this moment, and the Granada fans excitedly roared at the Barcelona players on the field!

And looking at the red faces of the excited, ferocious, and passionate home team fans around them.

The Barcelona players all felt very tired.

Not only were they physically tired from being played by the opponent for a whole game, but they were also mentally exhausted and ashamed.

Because they were tied by a team that is currently ranked only third from the bottom in the league.

Or in a way that was tied.

In the end, there was not enough time to launch a full-scale offensive again to overtake the score!

Speaking of mistakes made in the game, many main players in Barcelona have something to say.

Sanchez may blame himself for being too casual in the single shot in the first half and failing to further expand the score.

Pedro may blame himself for choosing to force a shot when he could pass the ball to Villa in the second half to let him push the empty goal.

If that goal had been scored early, Granada's hope of equalizing might have been shattered.

Alves can also blame himself for not keeping an eye on the opponent's striker Uche in the final set-piece.

If he had kept an eye on Uche, the opponent would not have grabbed a header and passed the ball, and there would not have been a subsequent equalizer goal by Granada defender Mainz.

Yes, everyone will reflect and regret in time when they are tied by the opponent again.

But what the lessons learned from the previous three times taught them is that they still can't remember these lessons.

When Messi returned to the player's tunnel in disappointment, a pair of stubborn eyes that refused to admit defeat suddenly appeared in his mind.

And the words that make him feel uncomfortable when he thinks about it now.

"I can lose to you today, Leo, but the winner today will only be Real Madrid! And I will drag you until the last minute, the last second!"

Leon's words echoed in Messi's mind. At the last moment of entering the player tunnel, Messi sighed silently.

He probably knew why Barcelona is always tied by tenacious opponents.

After winning too many championships, they have gradually lacked this kind of life-and-death spirit of never giving up.

There is no problem for Barcelona to fight in a favorable battle.

But when they encounter an unfavorable situation, their tenacity will loosen before their opponents.

I thought of the Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup again, and the figure who was always gritted his teeth and chased after him even though he was broken through several times in the second round.

For the first time, Messi had some thoughts in his mind that the result would be very bad for Barcelona.

And Guardiola, who thought more than him, has begun to worry.

Can they still overwhelm Real Madrid in a direct dialogue now?

※※※

"We will definitely be able to overwhelm Barcelona this season! Whether in terms of strength or psychology, in the 16th round of the league, we will give them the heaviest blow at home!

This is our most important league this season. In the six-point battle, we will widen the gap to more than ten points and let them collapse in morale first!

So, before this round of the league starts, we must maintain our lead over Barcelona in the league. Even if we can't win all the games until the 15th round, we can't lose easily!"

Mourinho first pointed out the importance of the next few rounds of the league at the coaching staff tactical meeting after the game.

This season, Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet in the 16th round of La Liga.

During this period, Real Madrid will play against Real Sociedad, Valencia, Atletico Madrid and other tough players in the upper and middle reaches of La Liga.

These teams are all difficult to play, and Atletico Madrid naturally wants to make trouble for Real Madrid when they have the chance.

But in order to pressure Barcelona to make further mistakes, Mourinho doesn't have many ways.

Can't slow down. If they slow down at this time, it will give Barcelona a chance to breathe and recover.

Mourinho knows what a terrible opponent he is facing.

Having won three consecutive La Liga titles and two Champions League titles during this period, this group of Barcelona players and Guardiola know how to win the final victory and win the battle with the wind.

Once they have the advantage of suppressing Real Madrid in the league, they will suppress Real Madrid to death after gaining the advantage, just like last season!

So Mourinho doesn't want to give up, let alone give up!

"Anyway, before the match with Barcelona, ​​a draw is the worst result we can accept. If we lose a game here, Barcelona will have one less shackle on its body.

We will trap them to death. When the rope is in our hands, we must tighten it and strangle it desperately!"

"Understood!"

Mourinho and the members of the coaching staff held a meeting and determined the battle plan for the next few rounds of the league. Soon, they also conveyed the tactical ideas to the Real Madrid first team players.

This clearly informed all the players of the Real Madrid first team that they must do their best for the next league and be prepared to sacrifice their own data.

If it were last season or before, there would definitely be different voices within Real Madrid.

But now, in front of Mourinho, who has successfully led Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona in the King's Cup final and now leads them to lead Barcelona by eight points in the league.

Real Madrid's superstars expressed their support without any objection.

To put it bluntly, when the team has been in a winning cycle, those little dissatisfactions can be compromised in the face of victory.

As long as Real Madrid continues to soar in all aspects and has not encountered a major failure, no star will jump out to oppose Mourinho.

Standing in the team, Li Ang naturally supports Uncle Bird's decision and decision.

After all, he has witnessed the establishment and collapse of the Barcelona Dream Three Dynasty with his own eyes.

Now he is also experiencing this period, he knows that Mourinho is right, and he can adapt to Mourinho's so-called "high-pressure" management style, so his attitude is very clear.

As for other changes that may happen in the future, he doesn't want to think too much now.

Besides, even if he racks his brains, he can't care so much now.

Seize the moment, fight for the next championship, and you will earn one. Try your best and have a clear conscience.

And Real Madrid has a great chance this season. Li Ang doesn't believe that Real Madrid can still fall in front of that damn penalty kick!

There is a lot of potential for several championships, so you must prepare in advance and seize the opportunity.

At least, in the games he can play, he will try his best to the last moment, the last moment in the true sense!

After making enough psychological preparations and unifying tactical ideas, the entire Real Madrid team has devoted themselves to the next preparation training.

In the eleventh round of the league, Real Madrid's main players went out to San Sebastian to challenge Real Sociedad.

As one of the two famous tough bones in the Basque region, Real Sociedad has always been a headache for both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona was tied 2-2 by Real Sociedad in the third round of La Liga this season.

After that game, Real Madrid's players watched the tactical highlights in the review meeting.

It can only be said that Real Sociedad's big-move scramble and tactical fouls with considerable lethality left a deep impression on Real Madrid's superstars.

At that time, Li Ang felt that this team might have to be dealt with by Everton in the Premier League.

Let them have a "iron-blooded" battle against "iron-blooded". Real Sociedad will know the pain and may restrain its style of play.

Unfortunately, Li Ang can only think about it. Real Sociedad can't wait for another "iron-blooded" team to deal with them in reality.

On the contrary, Real Madrid must first feel the test of the tough style of the social brother.

If they can withstand it, then the games against Sevilla and Atletico Madrid will be easy.

If they can't withstand it, it will be even worse. If there are player reductions, then Real Madrid will be too uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mourinho made a tactical decision in advance.

Facing Real Sociedad, Mourinho does not intend to take the conventional route and play offensive football like Barcelona.

He wants to use magic to fight magic!

At 9 pm on October 29, in the Anoeta Stadium, there was an unusually strong booing.

Mourinho, who directly put out a 4-5 first half formation, had no psychological burden.

He stood on the grass on the sidelines with his hands folded in front of his chest, calmly welcoming the middle fingers and sarcastic abuses from nearly 30,000 Real Sociedad fans!

But Real Sociedad's head coach Philippe Montagnier frowned.

He still underestimated Mourinho's strong pressure resistance and his desire to win the game!

Barcelona couldn't let go of their face before, and played against them in their home court, but was eventually beaten by their lethal fighting tactics.

In this game, Philippe Montagnier wanted to copy the tactical play against Barcelona again.

But now Real Madrid not only pulled down the face of the giants, but also lowered their posture enough, which really made him uncomfortable.

"This madman who has no demeanor of a wealthy family!"

After cursing Mourinho, who seemed to not care about the pressure of public opinion, in his heart, Philippe Montagnier could only signal his players to make an offensive test first.

It would have been fine if he hadn't tried it, but once he tried it, the players of Real Sociedad felt sick as if they had eaten a fly!

In the first minute of the game, Real Sociedad's midfielder Xavi Prieto had just received a pass from his teammate and advanced to the Real Madrid half, and Li Ang decisively came up to fight with him.

Xavi Prieto didn't care at first, and kept protecting the ball with small movements to seek support from his teammates.

But the next second, Li Ang directly "recklessly" kicked out to steal the ball.

He didn't grab the ball, but hooked his calf and tripped him to the ground!

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, giving Real Sociedad a set piece near the center line.

Li Ang turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened, and didn't care about his foul.

Xavi Prieto glared at Li Ang fiercely and sent a quick set piece.

At this time, the Real Sociedad players had not yet reacted, and they just thought that Li Ang's opening steal was a bit too aggressive.

But two minutes later, when the Malaga striker Carlos Vela, who was holding the ball, was fouled by Las Diarra and fell to the sideline.

All the Real Sociedad players reacted.

Real Madrid is going to use their "woodcutting" tactics!

The boos at the Anoeta Stadium became stronger and more harsh.

But Mourinho smiled, very happily, and at the same time looked a little ferocious!

Today he arranged a set of five midfielders that were somewhat "deformed".

Las Diarra, Leon, Alonso, Nacho, and Khedira who rushed forward to the central midfielder!

Some commentators introduced this formation as 4-5-1, some said 4-2-3-1, and some said 4-4-1-1.

But whatever they introduce, whatever they say is fine.

Because after arranging these five midfielders, Mourinho did not want to play the conventional tactical routine with Real Sociedad in the first half.

The only way to deal with magic is magic. Similarly, the best way to deal with the logging team is to cut down first!

Doesn't Real Sociedad like to interrupt the opponent's offensive organization and then win in a broken rhythm?

Then Real Madrid will also play this set today.

Comparing hardness and dirtiness?

Today's Real Madrid is not a high-ranking galactic battleship. It plays the same as you, highlighting a hard fight!

Real Sociedad seemed to feel that their tough reputation was offended.

Their two defenders who changed to midfield quickly got involved in the midfield fight with Real Madrid.

But Nacho, who also changed from a defender to a defensive midfielder, did not bother the opponent at all in this regard, and he and Li Ang also decisively pushed forward!

The increasingly fierce fighting scene made the reporters on the sidelines feel a little bit of toothache.

At this time, the Barcelona players who had finished the game ahead of time and simply watched the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad in the stadium conference room also looked at each other.

"If Real Madrid uses such tactics to play against us in the 16th round of the league, how should we deal with it?"

Keita asked dryly, but no one responded to him at this time.

Iniesta and Xavi looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

It's not because they are afraid that Real Madrid will really adopt a lethal tactic against them at home. The referee of La Liga will not allow such scenes to appear too much in the national derby.

What they are afraid of is Real Madrid's current style of play that can completely lose face.

And their game mentality.

The sacrificial mentality of being able to resolutely give up one's own data for the sake of victory!
