Chapter 41: The Re-Encounter with Mourinho

In Madrid, the capital of Spain, the two oldest clubs are Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, and Madrid's intra-city derby is a collision between the two club teams.

Both sides are the most successful and influential clubs in Spanish football.

Every Spaniard is well aware of the cruelty of the Madrid derby, because it is no less than the century-old battle between Barcelona and Espanyol.

The two teams have also performed countless classics in the history of nearly a hundred years, and the intensity can be imagined.

In the 1947-1948 season, in the 9th round of the league, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 5-0, which became a classic in history. This was the biggest victory for Atletico Madrid in a century. At that time, Escudero opened the scoring and Campos expanded the score. Honkosa scored twice and Vidal finally locked the score at 5-0. The Real Madrid team at that time also had many famous players, but they were swept 0-5 on the road.

In the 1983-1984 season, it was also the ninth round of the league. Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 5-0, completing the 36-year revenge of reincarnation. victory.

In the 10th round of the 1999-2000 league season, Real Madrid lost 1-3 to Atletico Madrid. This game is the last victory of Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid in the 20th century.

At that time, the Real Madrid team was full of stars, but it was still opened by Atlético de Madrid striker Morientes. After that, Hasselbaink scored twice, and the away victory ended the game with three points.

Real Madrid's many stars also failed to help the home team come back to life.

Since then, Atletico Madrid has been sinking. Atletico Madrid lost 2-3 to Real Madrid last season.

At that time, Kaka opened the scoring for Real Madrid only 5 minutes into the game, and then Marcelo and Higuain continued to expand the score, but Atletico Madrid launched a fierce attack at home in the second half, and even scored two goals, which also scared Real Madrid for a while. .

Now, after years of decline, Atletico Madrid is on the rise again, making the two teams full of gunpowder before the derby in the same city.

There are many things to see in the upcoming Madrid derby.

Wansheng and Mourinho are both champion coaches. They are mortal enemies in the Premier League. Now they come to La Liga together and lead the rival teams in the same city respectively. The grievance will definitely continue.

Under the leadership of Wansheng, the sudden rise of Atletico Madrid also made the Madrid derby more suspenseful.

Real Madrid led by Mourinho is not weak at all. At present, after 9 rounds of the league, both teams have 7 wins and 2 draws, and the league points are the same, but Real Madrid has surpassed Atletico Madrid's net with the performance of the past 4 rounds. The number of goals won, ranking first in La Liga in the standings.

From the 6th to the 9th round of the league, Real Madrid played against Deportivo Deportivo and Athletic Santander, creating two 6-1, during which they defeated Getafe 3-1 and Malaga 4-1. The goal difference has reached 20, 2 more than Atletico Madrid, that is to say, Real Madrid is currently in an advantage in the league competition.

From the start of La Liga to the present, the best player in Real Madrid is also Cristiano Ronaldo.

C-Ronaldo has been performing strongly since he joined Real Madrid. He has not stopped moving forward. The blank score handed over to Murcia in the King's Cup in midweek proved to be just a small accident.

Just like the comment of "Marca", "This Portuguese has excellent technology, strong physique, plenty of physical fitness, courage to move forward and the will to never give up. How could such a player lose his own inexplicable. status?"

For Getafe, C-Ronaldo proved for himself that he would stifle his doubts once, and Real Madrid's 3 goals in the whole game were all related to C-Ronaldo.

In an interview before the game, C-Ronaldo urged himself, "I can contribute more, I have not reached my best state."

"Marca" asked a question-how terrible would a Cristiano Ronaldo who has reached his peak state be so terrible?

This is unimaginable!

At least for Getafe, it is impossible to imagine a more perfect C-Ronaldo than this game, they used every means to stop the pace of the world superstar, but in the end they had to hide in the corner Silently licking the wound.

In the game against Getafe, C-Ronaldo scored his 12th goal of the season.

There are 12 goals in 9 rounds of the league, which is enough to prove the strength and state of C-Ronaldo.

When Real Madrid's victory was decided, C-Ronaldo put his hand to his ear and ran along the wing in a gesture of listening to the cheers of the fans.

Head coach Mourinho also rushed into the field with great excitement to celebrate the 3 points.

So far, C-Ronaldo has played 48 games for Real Madrid and scored 46 goals, and he has once again improved his scoring rate.

On the scorer list, the Portuguese outdid the crowd with 12 goals in 9 rounds, while Messi, who ranked second, only scored 7 goals. Atlético de Madrid's Maurice and Diego Costa tied for third. 6 goals.

C-Ronaldo's terrifying scoring efficiency also made him the "best player in La Liga" in the media's mouth without any suspense.

So before the Madrid derby, "Marca" compared the players of the two teams, "A C-Ronaldo is equal to Maurice plus Diego-Costa." In terms of goal numbers, this is indeed the case.

"The game has not yet started, Atletico Madrid is already one player less than Real Madrid..."

In fact, the war of words between the two teams has long been picked up by Mourinho. It was after Real Madrid completed the ninth round. Mourinho praised C-Ronaldo, who performed well, "He is a great player, he helped Real Madrid and Portugal win in October, I didn't know him very well before, but now I see, he works well with the team and is hungry for victory, helping the ball with his incredible performance Team, and hopefully he can stay that way."

Mourinho later talked about the poor performance of Benzema and compared other players with Benzema, "Some teams have bought some players with a lot of money, but these players have not scored a few goals, and no one has Speaking of them, Real Madrid players are treated differently."

"There are also some coaches who only like to use the people they bought, the original stars of the team, no matter how big the brand is or what their strength status is, they can only stay on the bench. Fortunately, Benzema is in Real Madrid, he does not It needs to be like this, it's a fact that he doesn't perform well, but it's not the end of the world, he has his own strength, and I won't abandon him."

Although Mourinho did not name his name, the reporters at the scene knew that Mourinho was mocking the players of the two rivals.

As mentioned earlier, David Villa, who moved to Barcelona in the summer, has only scored two goals in the league so far, and he has not scored in three consecutive rounds.

The latter is obviously Aguero.

Since the beginning of the season, Aguero has been "abandoned" and has the opportunity to come off the bench in the next two rounds.

The media understood Mourinho's purpose as 'disintegrating the unity of Atletico Madrid'. Atletico Madrid are half old players and half new players. If the old players think that Wansheng only likes to use the players they bought, they are sure in their hearts. There will be various ideas.

But Aguero alone is not enough to prove it.

What's more, Mourinho's statement is a bit too early. Real Madrid's 9th round was two hours earlier than Atletico Madrid's game. In the Atlético Madrid game after that, Aguero was on the starting list, and then Aguero was on the starting list. Guerro scored the only goal of the game to help Atletico Madrid beat Almeria.

When the Atletico Madrid game was over and Mourinho's interview spread, his claims were completely useless.

————

A few days before the derby, Atletico Madrid had been silently preparing for the game, and Wansheng did not give an interview.

Two days before the game, Wan Sheng only appeared in the media's field of vision. He accepted an interview and sneered at Mourinho's 'never beat himself', "It's like this in England, he never won, and then he had to leave. vacation..."

This is a direct statement that Mourinho was forced to leave the Chelsea coaching position.

After that, Wan Sheng continued, "Now that I am in Spain, I will try my best to keep it. This may be a record, which is very interesting."

At the same time, Hill also accepted an interview and expressed his confidence in the team, "Now we are not the same. We have the strength to defeat Real Madrid. Even at the Bernabeu Stadium, we are still confident to win!"

"Their head coach has never defeated Wansheng. This is good news. I believe that when it comes to La Liga, the result will be the same."

Mourinho and Real Madrid, obviously it is impossible to let Wansheng and Atletico Madrid be so arrogant. Mourinho has never been a person who shows weakness. He always believes that the game must be won and public opinion must also win, especially the opponent is Wansheng. , the old rival of England.

So Mourinho quickly appeared in front of the media reporters and said sarcastically, "Now he can only talk about it. In fact, he is very aware of the gap between Atletico Madrid and us."

"Two days ago, I saw a media report that analyzed that we had one more player than them. Of course, I even thought the game was unfair because we had a lot more players than them."

"Look at the current Atletico Madrid squad, it's still Maurice, it's still Ozil, I dare say he's outdated, he hasn't coached in Europe for two years, and he still insists on his own way, I don't see their Football, any improvement from Manchester City a few years ago, even a lot behind, probably the whole new team has consumed a lot of his energy, it is impossible for him to beat us with the current Atletico Madrid..."

The media supporting Real Madrid were immediately heartened when they heard Mourinho's words.

This season, Atlético de Madrid has suddenly risen. After Wansheng stood up, they felt secretly unhappy-Madrid, when will it be the civilian team's turn to be arrogant?

Now Mourinho is finally speaking up.

They felt that what the Portuguese said was absolutely correct, and then Mourinho continued, "I knew for a long time that when he came to Spain, his team would have problems. I can't say that at all. Look at Manchester City's three years. , For three seasons, Manchester City has been changing players, and most of the team has left. When they won the European Championship in 2008, that Manchester City was two teams compared to three years ago, and even the main lineup did not have one. the same name."

"Now it's Atlético Madrid's turn. Under him, Atlético de Madrid is difficult to 'stick to tradition', he will use his means to completely change Atlético de Madrid."

"I know him, that's all."

Mourinho is obviously 'sowing discord', but there is no doubt that much of what he said, although there is suspicion of exaggeration, is still true.

In Manchester City in 2008, Dunn was the only player left behind, and the other old players basically left.

The media reporters listened to these words and thought about it carefully, so the media that supported Real Madrid were excited. They didn’t mind making a big report. Using this statement to sow discord, it would be better for Atletico Madrid to fall apart immediately.

Wansheng naturally couldn't make the Portuguese arrogant. He quickly stood up and said, "Three years is a long time, and it is normal for the team to change. The team is developing, and strong players will stay, unable to keep up with the team's development. of players will leave, that's a must for any team that wants to do well."

"I didn't expect that he would talk about coaching in England, which is very interesting. To borrow a popular Chinese saying, 'his cheek is like a city wall', yes, during my three years at Manchester City, The team lineup has changed a lot, but what about his three years at Chelsea? God, 300 million euros! Chelsea spent 300 million euros into the transfer market, but he brought nothing back. In three years, Chelsea's The lineup has also changed a lot, not to mention those players who can't keep up with the state and strength, even some strong players who should leave, I don't know what mentality he can use to say this, my three years at Manchester City. In 2018, he didn't spend much transfer fee, but he brought many championships to the team, and he spent 300 million euros and nothing..."

Wan Sheng's counterattack is still quite strong. For Mourinho, when he was coaching at Chelsea, being under pressure from Wan Sheng was a personal stain.

Actually it's nothing.

In those few seasons, not only Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal were all suppressed by Manchester City, the most unacceptable thing was... Wan Sheng smiled slightly and continued, "The most interesting thing is that when he left Chelsea, Grant brought The team reached the Champions League final for the first time in Chelsea's history..."
