Volume 1: Males Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 375: Everyone Is M

Mourinho is studying how to beat Liverpool, and Martin O'Neill is also studying Real Madrid.

He didn't know Mourinho's tactics.

But he definitely doesn't think Mourinho will face Liverpool in the final. Based on his understanding of Mourinho, this man is a typical utilitarian.

When dealing with problems, he will only choose the way that is most beneficial to him.

Then 10% of the time Real Madrid will choose to defend and counterattack.

Martin O'Neill recalled the previous confrontation between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The tactic Real Madrid chose was defensive counterattack.

O'Neill believes that Mourinho will most likely choose this tactic in this final.

Since it is determined that Real Madrid's tactic is defensive counterattack, O'Neal will consider his own countermeasures for this tactic.

If Real Madrid counterattacks defensively, will Liverpool press the attack?

Obviously not.

Mourinho is utilitarian, while Martin O'Neill is cautious.

He knew why Mourinho chose to defend and counterattack. He wanted Liverpool to attack and then create space behind him, allowing the opponent to counterattack. Real Madrid's counterattack is very powerful, and they can score goals with one counterattack.

Since you know exactly what the opponent is going to do, if you still choose to attack, you are actively seeking death.

Therefore, the cautious Martin O'Neill chose the same tactics for Liverpool as Real Madrid, which was also a defensive counterattack.

The main thing is to defend firmly and counterattack when conditions permit.

Both teams focus on defense, supplemented by counterattacks.

Of course, such a game will not go well.

Just in front of a champion. Is the scene a waste of time?

Although Martin O'Neill is not a utilitarian, he is definitely not that stupid idealist.

In modern football, defense wins championships and offense wins audiences. This is the truth.

He didn't think he could fight it.

In fact, this tactic is OK. It was decided long before the FA Cup final, so Liverpool's training has always followed this tactic.

※※※

The training of both sides is getting more and more in-depth, and the time open to the media and fans is getting less and less.

Everyone knows without looking at the calendar - the Champions League final is getting closer and closer.

The promotional video about this game was released as early as a week ago. In addition to the official promotional video, there are also many self-made videos by TV stations and fans and netizens.

In their promotional video, the confrontation between the two sides looks like a Hollywood blockbuster.

The enthusiasm of fans and media is so high. If they were to know what the two head coaches were planning, they would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

However, the players and the head coach of both sides did not feel any guilt at all.

In addition to trailers and promotional videos, the media also paid attention to the war of words between the two teams.

After Ferguson retired, Mourinho was probably the best head coach at doing this.

This final. Naturally, he would not miss a perfect opportunity to display his eloquence.

The thing started when a reporter mentioned when interviewing him that he led his team to play against Liverpool three times and failed to win once. Will this cause a psychological shadow on the players when they play against Liverpool.

Mourinho was furious at the press conference.

He angrily accused the reporter of not understanding football.

"...Past results can't explain anything! I don't think that is a shadow. But if your media keeps hyping this matter, it may bring us some trouble. Aren't you just troublemakers?"

He then began to accuse the media of how much trouble he had caused during his time at Real Madrid.

Then he scolded all the media. He stood up and left the press conference, thus ending Real Madrid's regular press conference every Wednesday.

A group of reporters looked at each other, not expecting Mourinho's reaction to be so violent.

Even if their questions were indeed harsh... they wouldn't make Mourinho lose his temper and curse all the media. You must know that the person asking the question is just a media. There are still many media who are on the side of Liverpool and Mourinho, but this time they were shot while lying down.

※※※

Mourinho's angry exit from the press conference soon spread throughout European football.

The media is hyping this up like crazy. Because this is the biggest news before the Champions League final.

While they are hyping it up. He also strongly criticized Mourinho for being arrogant.

"If it weren't for our media, how could Mourinho be where he is today?"

"Without us. He is just an ordinary successful head coach at most. There are so many head coaches who can win championships, why is he the highest paid in the world? Isn't it because we are pushing him? Now, he is famous. , ungrateful!”

Many media criticized Mourinho with indignation, but it is hard to say whether they really thought so.

They did this just to make things bigger.

Chen Yingxiong also noticed his opponent's situation.

He just curled his lips at Mourinho's neurotic approach.

He knows what Mourinho is going to do because they are both the same type of people. Mourinho actually did what Chen Yingxiong often did.

Mourinho is not really ungrateful, nor is he suddenly having a brain attack and offending the media.

He just wants to draw all the attention to himself before the Champions League final. That way, his players will be under much less pressure.

It is the head coach's job to bear pressure, but Mourinho can bear more pressure than ordinary head coaches.

The same is true for Chen Yingxiong. The reason why he keeps provoking wars of words is because he wants to shift the pressure onto himself.

Mourinho performed so passionately that he took the pressure on himself.

How can Chen Yingxiong be willing to take second place?

He also made an appearance.

Chen Yingxiong did not comment on Mourinho's performance. He didn't even say a word in front of the media. This attracted the media's attention to him.

A week before the start of the competition, Chen Yingxiong went to a tattoo shop.

This store is the same one where he had the Champions League tattooed on his arm last time, and he is considered an "old customer". In addition, he is so famous, how could the owner of the tattoo shop not know what Chen Yingxiong did here.

Tattooed, of course.

But tattoos are also particular.

His request surprised the tattoo parlor owner. He stood there silently for a long time.

When Chen Yingxiong saw that the other party was silent, he asked: "What's wrong? Don't you think it's too difficult?"

Only then did the tattoo shop owner react, and then quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's so rare to get a Champions League tattoo. I just... are you wishing yourself good luck, hero?"

Chen Yingxiong shrugged and spread his hands: "No, this is a victory speech."

The tattoo shop owner, who is a Liverpool fan himself, became excited when he heard what Chen Yingxiong said.

Because he knows that Chen Yingxiong never breaks his promise!

So this time, he can really start looking forward to Liverpool's defense of the Champions League!

This tattoo parlor owner is full of energy. With the most pious attitude, he tattooed a new Champions League trophy on Chen Yingxiong’s arm.

This way he has three Champions League trophy tattoos.

Under each trophy is the time of the season in which the championship was won.

Under the first trophy is tattooed 20102011. The second one is 20142015. Below this newly tattooed third trophy is 20152016.

※※※

One day later, photos of Chen Yingxiong rolling up his sleeves to his shoulders and sweating profusely on the training ground appeared on the pages of many newspapers.

The photographer does not want to tell everyone how hard Liverpool's top star is working in training.

But I want to tell everyone to pay attention to Chen Yingxiong’s arm.

In order to make it easier for readers to see it clearly, a small photo is attached next to this photo.

In the photo, there is the same arm of Chen Yingxiong. The focus is on the tattoos on the arms.

In the small photo, there are two European Champions Cups on the tattoo.

In the latest photos, you can clearly see that Chen Yingxiong has a Champions League trophy on his arm, and the number under the trophy clearly tells everyone. This is the Champions League trophy.

That’s it for this season!

"It seems that the hero is bound to win the Champions League this season!"

"The hero declares his attitude towards this game with a tattoo!"

"Chen Yingxiong couldn't wait to have his third Champions League tattooed on his body. If it doesn't succeed in the end, what I want to know is, will Chen Yingxiong have to wash off this tattoo?"

…

The media has made various speculations and comments about the intention of his tattoo. Some say this is a form of confidence, while others say it is arrogance. What Chen Yingxiong did was disrespectful to his opponents in the final. How can anyone declare victory in advance before the game even starts?

No matter it is praising Chen Yingxiong. Those who criticize Chen Yingxiong are still talking about Chen Yingxiong. As for Chen Yingxiong's teammates, no one paid much attention to them.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, just a tattoo, and let the media help him finish what he wanted to say, and also focused their attention on himself.

In this way, his purpose was achieved.

The team can prepare in a relatively relaxed environment without interference.

This can be seen from the fact that the media all seek Chen Yingxiong for interviews. All kinds of tricky and weird questions were thrown at Chen Yingxiong.

These are questions that other Liverpool players find difficult to answer.

But Chen Yingxiong handled it with ease. If he really encountered a problem that was difficult to deal with, Chen Yingxiong would simply cheat.

Anyway, it was the media that begged him to be interviewed, but it was not him who begged the media to interview him.

Chen Yingxiong is qualified to put on airs in front of the media, but the media are not qualified to be picky.

In this environment, Liverpool prepared "quietly" for the game.

The Champions League final is getting closer and closer to them. (To be continued...)
