Chapter 631 The End of Friends (Part 2)
Mourinho has never been a magnanimous person. It is a bit too much to say that he will retaliate, but there is no doubt that the grudges are clear.
Just before the decisive battle between Barcelona and Inter Milan, Guardiola exposed his background and attacked him for starting from scratch, which made Mourinho very angry.
During the two rounds of war of words in the group stage, Guardiola and Mourinho were actually very restrained. Now Guardiola is almost equal to ginseng cock, and Mourinho will certainly not be polite.
That evening Mourinho held a press conference at the Pinetina training base to counter Guardiola.
The madman sarcastically said: "Up to now, there are three types of coaches. A small group of coaches who have never talked about refereeing; and a large group of coaches who will criticize the referee when the referee makes a huge mistake after the game. I am one of them. Now, after Guardiola’s pronouncements, we enter the third new era of this type of coach, who only includes him, who criticizes referees before games. This is my experience in world football. It was something the world had never seen before. He was a one-man coach. In Guardiola's first season as Barcelona coach, he was caught up in the public outrage at Stamford Bridge. From then on, when the referee made the right decision, he I'm not happy. Barcelona is used to putting pressure on referees to gain benefits. Barcelona is a big club and a representative of artistic football. They have this influence. Inter Milan is small and weak, but we will never succumb to our opponents. We will fight against injustice until football becomes fairer and better."
Before the game, many European media believed that the battle between Inter Milan and Barcelona was a "final-level semi-final." In this regard, Mourinho pointed out: "I don't want to talk about this issue. This is just the semi-finals. Whoever wins will go to the final. The final will be held in Madrid. The final will not be Inter Milan vs. Barcelona. The final will be Inter Milan or Barcelona vs. Manchester United. Or Lyon. Manchester United and Lyon deserve respect because they reached the semi-finals like us. Lyon eliminated Real Madrid and a French Ligue 1 team, and it’s always not easy to eliminate teams from the same league in the Champions League; Manchester United have One of the best coaches in the world, so we can't say tomorrow's game is finals level."
Has Mourinho been studying how to beat Barcelona in the past six months? Mourinho pointed out: "In the first four and a half months of the season, I didn't watch a minute of Barcelona's videos. But in the past three weeks, I have not only studied all Barcelona's game videos in the past two years, but also watched Barcelona's games live. "Then Mourinho teased Guardiola and said: "Some people can win six crowns by watching movies and working hard, but we can only work hard. This is the difference."
Next, Mourinho talked about several core players of Barcelona: "Puyol? I think he is the same as the Puyol who worked with me ten years ago. He looks only 21 years old, not 31." Years old, he has the same passion and fanaticism. Messi? Some people say that he has changed his position and is therefore unstoppable. But we first need to find out what position he will play tomorrow. He may play on the right, he may play on the left He can play as a center forward like he did against Real Madrid, or he can play behind Ibrahimovic like he did against Arsenal. He is an important player, but for me, football is not a man-to-man game. One person can mark Messi, and ten people can play behind him. It's not my culture to mark ten other people individually. It's an 11-on-11 game. Of course, Messi deserves special treatment because he is a special player, but we also have a special player, Gao Xiaodong, he can play a huge role in any position. In the history of football, only Beckenbauer has had a similar role."
Before the game, European public opinion generally believed that Barcelona was the favorite to win. Mourinho pointed out: "Barcelona showed a very strong level against us in the group stage. We did not have the state to compete with them at the time. . But that was in November. They're in the same shape now as they were then, but we're in much better shape than we were in November. I don't want to offend anyone,
But I think it's a 5o vs. 5o game. "
Mourinho then pointed out that compared to the Inter Milan that lost to Barcelona 0-2 in November, today's Inter Milan has improved. "The physical conditions are the same as then, but obviously, today's team is more compact tactically. , and the mentality of playing in the Champions League is completely different. The psychological state of the team is very different. We have never won in a way like this year in the past, and now we have won five consecutive victories. We are very happy to play in the semi-finals of the Champions League, not afraid. In the group stage, we played a good game at home against Barcelona. I think if we gave Barcelona too much possession, we would have lost. In the away game in the group stage, we lost, so I have been studying and trying to figure out where our mistakes were."
Spanish journalists talked about Real Madrid. Real Madrid obviously does not want Barcelona to participate in the final in Madrid, and it is rumored that Mourinho will be Real Madrid's coach next season. Does this mean Mourinho will have extra motivation? Mourinho pointed out: "I think Real Madrid's lineup is too luxurious and cannot bear the loss of no championship. Therefore, Real Madrid should focus on whether they can win the championship, rather than the problems of other teams. As for me, I am the coach of Inter Milan, and I and Inter Milan has a contract. Real Madrid has a coach, an excellent coach, so we can't talk nonsense. There are many things in the football world, truth, half-truths, lies. And I need to play in the league, cup, Champions League, every three There is a decisive game every day, so I can only be nervous about Inter Milan’s future and can’t talk about anything else.”
Finally, Mourinho talked about the advantages of Barcelona's schedule, "Playing away games first is not necessarily beneficial. When I led Porto to win the Champions League, I played home games first. When we faced Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo, we played first. Play at home. Later, when I coached Chelsea, I also played at home first in the semi-finals. Only that time against Barcelona, we played away first, and then we lost. At Inter Milan, this year we played Chelsea, Central Moscow Moscow and Barcelona first Playing at home. The road to the Champions League final is never easy."
When it comes to playing football, there is a huge difference between the superstar Guardiola and the semi-professional Mourinho, but when it comes to war of words, Mourinho, a translator who is proficient in eight languages, can throw Guardiola across the Atlantic.
When Inter Milan coach Mourinho said that Guardiola was a unique coach who liked to criticize referees before games, Guardiola was extremely angry. He immediately held a press conference to counterattack: "This is Inter Milan's territory, Mourinho Rinho is the fucking boss here, the boss. He has the most knowledge in the world and I never wanted to compete with him. I don’t want to play a game like this because I don’t know how to play it. . We'll see you on the court tomorrow, but he has already won off the court. He has always been the winner off the court, but we have to see who can win the game on the court,"
Guardiola directly used foul language, which also means that the good friends back then have completely broken up and become a pair of old enemies.
