Nine Hundred and Ninety-Six Mourinho's Outbreak
Barcelona's Gamper Sports City has a very obvious feature. When it was originally designed, the designer designed two parking lots according to the terrain characteristics. All foreign vehicles were arranged in the external parking lot at the entrance of the sports city, and all internal personnel vehicles were arranged in the parking lot. All from the slope up to the second floor, parking on-site parking lot.
In other words, the entire Ganbo Sports City is at the height of the second floor, coupled with the concrete wall, the secrecy work of the entire sports city is very strict, and the surrounding is one-story buildings, it is basically difficult for outsiders to get from the outside. On the road, I spy on what's going on in the training ground.
Today is another day for a press conference.
The reporters drove to Ganbo Sports City one after another.
As soon as they entered, they found that the security staff of the club had already blocked the ramp leading to the training base, indicating that all foreign vehicles were parked in the external parking lot, and then went directly to the press conference site through the external passage on the first floor of the training building.
Unless you get official permission from Barcelona, it is still very difficult to enter the training ground.
A reporter had sneaked in from the ramp and the training building before, which affected the team's preparations. The head coach Mourinho was furious, and every time it opened to the public, Gamble Sports City had done a lot of work in terms of security.
The Champions League semi-final battle is imminent, and it can be seen from the number of parking lots that there are a lot of reporters present today.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the press conference hall, he found that there was already an uproar inside.
Media reporters from all over the world came here to get first-hand information.
The most important thing is the focus of the next Champions League semi-final first leg, Barcelona vs. Manchester City.
The other semi-final is Bayern Munich vs Chelsea.
These two teams in the Premier League this season are surprising, even eye-popping.
The first is Manchester City. This is the first time Manchester City has participated in the Champions League in its history. Players such as coach Guardiola and Kompany are also participating in the Champions League for the first time.
But it happened that this team first passed the test of the group of death in the group stage, and then defeated AC Milan and Real Madrid in the knockout stage, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Su Dong can be said to have contributed, but Manchester City's overall strength is also the guarantee of the team's combat effectiveness.
Chelsea are equally surprising,
Because after the change of coaches, this team suddenly performed extremely vigorously in the Champions League, repeatedly overcame strong opponents, and reached the semi-finals, which can be said to surprise everyone.
The Italian head coach Di Matteo, who temporarily put out the fire, also became famous, and even has the possibility of becoming a regular.
Survival in a desperate situation is often the most charming moment in football.
Therefore, the two Champions League semi-finals this season have attracted a lot of attention. Among them, Manchester City's visit to Camp Nou is the focus of the world's attention, attracting the arrival of many media reporters.
...
Fifteen minutes late, Barcelona's head coach Jose Mourinho was late, accompanied by assistant coach Tito Vilanova and Barcelona's press officer.
In the past few years of coaching Barcelona, Mourinho's hair has basically turned white, and he is also very stubborn, and he refuses to dye it in life or death, which makes him look a little thin now, but he really does not have a charm.
Media reporters and fans who have followed Barcelona for a long time will find that Mourinho has not seen a smile for a long time.
The same is true today.
The Portuguese madman walked into the venue with a notepad, and waved to everyone as he walked, as a greeting, with a cold face the whole time.
His current situation is really bad.
As early as a long time ago, there have been media rumors that Barcelona will change coaches.
The earliest target was Guardiola, but unfortunately, Guardiola later renewed his contract with Manchester City, so he moved to other targets and made a lot of noise, as if Mourinho had been dismissed.
This made Mourinho very dissatisfied and criticized the media for this practice many times, but Barcelona officials did not come forward to refute the rumors, making him very passive, and the team's performance has indeed encountered a low point since coaching Barcelona.
Now many people are speculating, what is Mourinho going to do in this game against Manchester City?
If he loses to Manchester City, then loses to Real Madrid in the national derby, and loses two championship trophies in a row, then Mourinho will definitely be dismissed. , in La Liga to reverse Real Madrid, he has the opportunity to continue to stay at Camp Nou.
But it was very difficult for Mourinho.
His opponents come not only from the field, but also from the locker room, from the management, from the media and from the fans.
From his first day in charge of Barcelona, he was doomed to be against a large group of people.
...
It's a routine.
According to UEFA's regulations, the 18-player roster must be announced before the game.
The Barcelona press officer also introduced the upcoming game in strict accordance with the previous process, and also asked Mourinho to announce the 18-man roster, and then entered the media questioning session.
The main question is still focused on the match between Barcelona and Manchester City.
Mourinho, as always, emphasized his familiarity with Sudong and Manchester City. He believed that his team could restrain Manchester City. He believed that Barcelona could win the opponent at home.
But some media just want to demolish his platform.
For example, a Catalan tabloid asked him: Why is he so confident that he can beat Manchester City?
"Before the European Super Cup, you said the same thing, but what about the result? Every time you meet Su Dong, you say you know him well, but what about the result? Have you won once?"
Although Mourinho was mentally prepared for such a sharp question, when it appeared, the Portuguese madman was still extremely annoyed and angry, because he really felt extremely aggrieved.
But in the end, he could only reply that he and his team would prove themselves with what they did on the field.
But doubts are still loud.
The Catalan media pays special attention to one issue, that is, before the game, some media revealed that Mourinho would adopt conservative tactics, which made Mourinho very angry, thinking that someone inside the locker room had leaked it to the outside world. His secret, and even want to catch the ghost in the locker room.
Needless to say, the final result was a mess in the locker room, but nothing was caught.
In the Barcelona dressing room, Mourinho is a complete outsider.
It is, was, and always will be!
The following media reporters asked in a hurry, and the questions became more and more acute, and Mourinho began to feel a little overwhelmed.
He began to remain silent, and when all the media reporters gradually quieted down, he spoke again.
"I know that you are thinking about how to make news all the time, and I also know that many of you are preparing for multiple hands. Whether we win or lose, you have something to say. For you, it is just a keyboard Just typing a few more words."
"But for me, for my team, we need to be more, more precise, more precise."
"I have never thought that any team should follow the so-called tradition. In my philosophy, winning is the tradition, and victory is the tradition. If you can't win, you can't bring victory to the team. That's bullshit. But some people don't think so, so I'm always being questioned."
Mourinho's voice rang in the press conference hall, and everyone fell silent, stopped silently, and remembered silently.
"I always want to be able to arrange tactics and win according to the reality of the team, but some people always think, I should listen to them, why? Why? If they were to coach this team, they would be able to Better than me? Can they guarantee that if I listen to them, the team will win?"
Everyone was silent.
Mourinho's coaching at Barcelona has been successful, at least in terms of results.
No matter who is replaced, even if Cruyff personally coaches, he may not be able to do better than Mourinho.
Then why does he still receive so much accusation and criticism?
"Because it's always easy to criticize and criticize others, you just need to talk and tap the keyboard, but if you want to lead a team to win, you can't just rely on your words and keyboards. That's what I did at Barcelona. value and meaning."
These remarks have been held back in Mourinho's heart for a long time. He really can't say many things, because it is related to some internal secrets. Saying it is tantamount to breaking a taboo.
But he really had had enough.
"Aren't you guys always guessing about my tactics? Always speculating about my starting lineup? Always trying to get big news out of me?"
Mourinho rhetorically asked, like a bolt from the blue, exploded in the press conference hall.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all showed incredible expressions.
Even the Barcelona press officer and assistant coach Vilanova sitting next to Mourinho couldn't believe it.
"I'll tell you now, my starting lineup for tomorrow night."
There was a thunderous explosion, and everyone on the scene was stunned.
"No. 1 Valdes, No. 2 Alves, No. 3 Pique, No. 4 Fabregas, No. 5 Puyol, No. 6 Xavi, No. 8 Iniesta, No. 10 Messi, No. 14 Mascherano No. 15, Sedou Keita No. 15, Yaya Toure No. 24."
Mourinho didn't wait for everyone to react. He quickly read out his starting lineup in one breath.
In the end, he pointed at all the media reporters present very domineeringly, "Remember them, I will use them at Camp Nou, beat Manchester City, enter the Allianz Stadium, and finally win the championship!"
After that, Mourinho turned and left without any hesitation.
From start to finish, the whole thing happened in a very short time, and the press officer and Vilanova didn't even have a chance to stop it.
By the time everyone reacted, Mourinho had already left.
Everyone who stayed at the scene was dumbfounded, unable to believe what they had just seen and heard.
It is not unprecedented that the head coach announces the starting lineup in advance, but it is definitely the first time that the starting lineup is suddenly announced before a major game like the Champions League semi-final.
Mourinho is so bold!
What does he want to do?
