Chapter 875: Fang Jue VS Mourinho (Aston Villa VS Real Madrid) 2nd More Tickets
On the TV screen, Real Madrid's top star Cristiano Ronaldo was surrounded by tourists and fans. The Portuguese had a good attitude and satisfied some fans' requests for autographs and group photos.
Mourinho put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked around with interest, and met a fan wearing a Chelsea jersey calling his name. Mourinho was very happy, hugged him, and took a photo with him.
This is when the whole Real Madrid team arrived in Birmingham and went shopping in Birmingham's Victoria Square the next morning, which caused a sensation on the scene.
Still in the mood to go shopping?
Fang Jue in front of the TV showed a puzzled expression: My psychological warfare is useless?
Is it because of the high pressure that you take the whole team out to relax?
Or, is it true that it has not been influenced by public opinion?
Fang Jue was a little uncertain.
...
"Jose, this is a good way. It seems that the players are in good condition and the psychological level has been relieved." Karanka said to Mourinho, who is Mourinho's assistant.
Karanka played for Real Madrid for five years as a player, and later coached the Spanish U16 youth team. After Mourinho coached Real Madrid, Mijatovic recommended Karanka to Mourinho as an assistant.
Mourinho quickly recognized Karanka's talent, and the relationship between the two was quite good.
Karanka pays close attention to the status of the players. He noticed the players' comments and then reported to Mourinho.
Subsequently, Mourinho canceled the training originally scheduled for this morning and announced that he would lead the whole team out to go shopping and relax.
Hearing what Karanka said, Mourinho nodded.
He doesn't expect this method to be very useful, but Mourinho knows that the spirit of the whole team is too tense and must be relaxed. Villa's game, Real Madrid may be in trouble for their own reasons.
That night, Mourinho called his assistants for a closed-door meeting.
Everyone finally agreed.
It is naturally impossible to give up the game against Aston Villa, but if the situation permits, we still have to consider the game against Barcelona on the weekend to prepare for this national derby.
Everyone’s thinking is the same: that is, there are two rounds of the Champions League. It’s best to win the away game. If you can’t win, a draw is also acceptable. Taking a step back, even if you lose, it is not unacceptable. Of course, you can only accept a small loss. If you lose a small loss, you will win it. If it is a big deal, you will win at home.
Mourinho was extremely upset about the media hyping up the article of the fan named Raul Carlos Manuel Fernando.
He knows these media too well, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so how can he make troubles and do things without a bottom line.
Mourinho also didn't like what this so-called famous Real Madrid fan said.
If he hadn't learned that although this fan was rather mysterious, he was indeed a well-known and veteran fan of Real Madrid. He used to express his opinions on some things about Real Madrid. Mourinho would almost have thought that this fan was sent by Birmingham thing guy.
However, in this Fernando's words, Mourinho agrees that this season is the best opportunity for Real Madrid to break Barcelona's La Liga monopoly, and it is also an opportunity that must be seized.
Florentino invited him to Real Madrid just to break the hegemony of the popular Barcelona.
This season's La Liga championship, Mourinho is bound to win.
It's just that Mourinho himself didn't realize that although he had attached great importance to the league before, and his goal was to win the league, there is no priority in the Champions League or the league, and he even insisted on saying that he has some tendency , Mourinho has a soft spot for the Champions League.
However, at this moment, he subconsciously thinks about La Liga more than before, or to be precise, subconsciously thinks about the game against Barcelona.
After setting this strategic tone, the next topic discussed by Mourinho and his assistants is, what kind of lineup and tactics will Aston Villa coach Fang Jue adopt in tomorrow's game?
...
Fang Jue is also meeting with his coaching staff to study Mourinho and Real Madrid.
Attendees were assistant coaches Ceballos and Steve Werner, as well as goalkeeping coach Enke.
For Real Madrid, Fang Jue and his assistants conducted a rigorous analysis and research based on data and intelligence.
Although Real Madrid have performed well this season, they are far from perfect and there is still room for improvement in many areas.
The most intuitive defect is naturally defense. Real Madrid scored 110 goals in 34 rounds. Real Madrid's offensive firepower is extremely powerful. However, Real Madrid's 29 goals conceded shows that Real Madrid's defense is not impregnable.
In La Liga, Barcelona, who had just been hammered by Aston Villa in the Champions League, conceded 25 goals in 34 rounds, four fewer goals than Real Madrid.
The media has even announced in advance that Valdes will lock the best goalkeeper honor in advance.
In the Premier League, the league leader Aston Villa conceded 26 goals in 34 rounds. Of course, Aston Villa's 34th round of the league was postponed.
In the Bundesliga, league leaders Borussia Dortmund conceded 23 goals in 31 rounds.
In Serie A, league leaders Juventus conceded 18 goals in 33 rounds.
The leaders of the major leagues seem to have a stronger defense than Real Madrid.
Take Aston Villa itself as an example. When Senderos was seriously injured and the team encountered a central defender crisis, they conceded no more goals per game than Real Madrid.
"Real Madrid's defense is not solid. They even scored two goals at home by Athletic Greece." Werner said, "Although Real Madrid played a rotation in this game, the opponent was very weak and was defeated by the Greeks. Competitive scoring two goals can also explain some problems."
...
Ten minutes later, the players came to the meeting room, and Fang Jue taught the players a class.
"Due to the continuous injury of Carvalho this season, Mourinho moved Ramos to the central defender position to partner with Pepe. The right back is Alberoia, and the left back is basically rotated by Marcelo and Cohentra. " Fang Jue said.
"Among them, Marcelo's attacking power is stronger, and he plays more games against weak opponents, while Coentrao seems to be more trusted by Mourinho in terms of defense, and he has more opportunities when facing strong opponents. , this choice is not absolute, the coaching staff is still analyzing the greatest possibility.” After a pause, Fang Jue continued, “The main problem with this defense line is that Ramos and Pepe are both excellent in personal ability. The aggressive type."
"Attention everyone, these two like to attack, which determines that this pair of central defenders lacks the protection behind their own partners.
Therefore, these two people have very good personal abilities, but they cannot achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two. "
"On the right, although Abeloa is excellent, his attack power is almost zero. What does this mean..." Fang Jue smiled and clicked Bell's name, "Gareth, listen up, it means that he is on the left, Our defensive pressure is relatively small, and we can calmly attack Real Madrid on the right."
Bell's eyes radiated brilliance, hey hey.
The others laughed too.
"After talking about defense, let's talk about Real Madrid's offensive end."
"In the midfield, the attack combination led by Ronaldo is powerful. Benzema is in good condition, and Kaka's condition has also recovered. Their attack in the midfield seems to have no problem, but the problem exists. The problem is in the lower back."
Fang Jue drew a heavy circle on the name of Alonso on the tactical board.
"Alonso lacks a reliable substitute and has played almost all the games. Once the Spanish international is absent or in poor form, Real Madrid will have a lot of problems in offensive and defensive conversion." Fang Jue said, "Tomorrow's game , this may be one of our breakthroughs."
In fact, last summer, Mourinho tried to solve this problem by introducing the talented Turkish player Sahin. However, Sahin's performance in Real Madrid disappointed Mourinho.
The Turks don't have many chances to play, especially their mental outlook is not good, and they can't meet Mourinho's requirements at all.
At this anxious stage of the season, Mourinho completely abandoned Shaheen. He would rather choose Granero as Alonso's substitute.
However, Granero's performance was ups and downs, obviously unable to satisfy Mourinho.
...
the next day.
The Real Madrid team set off from the hotel where they stayed and went to Villa Park Stadium.
Mourinho is still thinking, he has not made up his mind on the starting lineup until now.
In terms of tactics, Real Madrid has basically determined 4231 as the main formation this season. Even in the face of Barcelona, Mourinho dared to form an attacking formation of a frontcourt quartet.
Of course, when necessary, Mourinho will also choose to send three midfielders to stabilize the defense and stabilize the rhythm.
The team transitioned between the two formations very smoothly.
What Mourinho is hesitating now is the choice of left-back. He hasn't decided whether to send Marcelo or his little fellow Coentraang.
"Do you think Mourinho will send Marcelo or Coentrao?" Fang Jue asked his assistants in the Aston Villa bus.
"Coentran." Ceballos said with affirmation.
"Oh? Tell me why."
"Mourinho is a very stubborn person," Ceballos said.
"Hahaha." Fang Jue laughed out loud when he heard the words. Yes, he agrees with Ceballos, and he also tends to think that Mourinho will choose Coentrao to start.
Mourinho is indeed very stubborn-for example, he firmly believes that Cohen Trau is better defensively than Marcelo and is more suitable for strong dialogue.
Fang Jue has done research on Marcelo and Coentrao respectively.
Marcelo, who had played as a winger, was too keen on attacking, and Coentrao's performance was not stable enough.
It seems that if Mourinho chooses Marcelo, Aston Villa will have more opportunities to play Marcelo after he comes up.
However, Fang Jue didn't think so after careful consideration. Marcelo's speed is very fast. Although the Brazilian is keen on assists, his defense speed is not slow.
Of course, the most important thing is that Fang Jue tends to think that Coentrao is a soft persimmon. The Portuguese's state is ups and downs, and his psychological quality is not strong enough.
Therefore, Fang Jue hopes that Mourinho will choose Coentrao.
On the right side of Aston Villa, Mane, Kyle Walker, and Suarez or Abanglaho in front took turns to attack Coentraang, and even Bell can change positions at any time to attack here.
Compared with Arveiroa, whose assist ability is close to zero, but the defense is still relatively solid, Fang Jue believes that his team has a high chance of crying Coentraan.
On the other side, Mourinho opened the file bag and wrote the name of Coentrao where the names of ten starters were already filled and one name was missing.
He still thinks that Coentrao is more reliable in the strong dialogue, at least for now.
