Chapter 177 Let Them Attack

Inter Milan was tied 0:0 at home by Genoa in the weekend's Serie A. This is their third draw in the last four games, and it is the third time they have been kept clean. The victory over Udinese is only a 3:2 narrow victory . The second-ranked Roma took the opportunity to narrow the difference to four points.

Mourinho has always had to face problems about the team's offense recently. Inter Milan's 180 million euro luxury striker seems to have suddenly encountered a problem, and the firepower is a bit out of order.

But Mourinho is not worried about this issue. When the reporter asked him if he was worried that such an attack would bring hidden dangers to the Champions League, the "madman" directly turned to the reporter: "I don't think there is anything between the two. Contact, your question makes me doubt your professionalism. Breaking the dense defense is a world-class problem. It is precisely because Naples, Cagliari and Genoa have no possibility of defeating us that they will adopt such extreme tactics... If Schalke are willing to admit that they can't beat us, I don't mind if they follow this tactic."

This remark made the reporters present feel a bit stunned. Isn't this a trick for the opponent? If Schalke doesn't care about face and really does this, wouldn't Inter Milan probably not win at home?

But Mourinho went on to say: "Because in the Champions League, you will see the real Inter Milan!"

...

Inter Milan shifted the focus of the season to the Champions League, which is not beyond everyone's expectations. They still have more than one advantage in Serie A, and they can fully impact the league after the next first round. ——Main striker Diego · Milito only came off the bench for several consecutive games, and it is not a consideration to prepare for the Champions League.

In fact, Mourinho is not as unruly as he appears in front of the media in private. After training and games, he stays in the office to study the Champions League opponent Schalke 04. Inter Milan still fully supports his work. An office was set aside for him in the club building. In his office these days, there are half-person-high videotapes piled up.

Assistant coach Giuseppe Baresi pushed open the door and was surprised to find that the room was full of smoke. He was a little surprised: "Jose, is Schalke troublesome? You never smoke, and it seems that trouble is not small. "

Mourinho is a person who is strict about his work and life. He hardly smokes tobacco on weekdays. He has two styles from a famous coach like Lippi who always smokes a cigar when he is on the sidelines. And don't drink too much.

Mourinho turned off the video and said to Baresi: "Go and find Rui."

Rui Faria is the team's head fitness coach. One of the most authoritative physical trainers in the entire Serie A. In the FM Football Manager series of games, the evaluation of this coach is that the effect of physical training is four and a half stars.

"Great, Rui, I knew you were still there."

"Didn't you leave too? Tell me, what's the matter? I believe you didn't come to ask me to drink after get off work, ha!"

"Drinking? After we win the next home game, we can discuss it." Mourinho said, "But now, I need to know about Camby's situation. With the intensity of the Champions League, can his current physical condition handle it?"

Inter Milan's midfielder Cambiasso has just returned from injury, and he only came back to play halftime in the game against Udinese. In the game against Genoa, he started for 70 minutes, but Mourinho was a little uncertain about his current physical condition. The Champions League is a higher level of confrontation than Serie A. If he can only barely support it, Mourinho naturally does not want to Waste a starting spot on him.

"There should be no problem. Camby's running distance in the last game was close to normal. However, considering the intensity of the Champions League, if he is allowed to play at a high level, it is best to let him only play half-court, starting or substituting, it depends. You decide."

Mourinho snapped his fingers: "Cool!"

What he wanted was the result that Cambiasso could play, and the task of defending Zhou Tiancheng would be settled.

After the Schalke team arrived in Milan, Magath revealed the team's goal in an interview with reporters, and came to strive for more away goals.

The Milan reporters present were all surprised. Most teams would not hesitate to defend and counterattack at Inter Milan's home court. Few of them took the initiative to attack... But the Milan reporters were happy to see such a situation, which means Schalke's strategy for this game is absolutely not conservative. There is no iron barrel formation, so let's fight for firepower, the top attack power of the Bundesliga and Serie A, and see who will be torn to pieces.

Hey, Inter Milan's striker dares to challenge any giants! Eto'o and Milito alone are worth more than half of a Schalke team. In terms of input, Schalke has already lost.

Magath said these words, Milan reporters and Inter Milan fans have seen Schalke's tragic ending with gloating.

But they didn't know that Mourinho had made an important decision in the closed Inter Milan training base.

At the tactical analysis meeting, a short edited video repeatedly played Zhou Tiancheng's performance on both ends of the offense and defense. The players on the field furrowed their eyebrows deeper and deeper.

After Mourinho finished the broadcast, he turned off the video equipment, glanced at everyone below and said: "I believe you have all heard of him, the Chinese who won the European Golden Boy this year. Camby, you are the most experienced of these people The midfielder, you are top in Serie A, can you defend him one-on-one?"

Cambiasso blurted out: "I need assistance. His foot skills and height are well coordinated and he is difficult to deal with. I need Thiago to help me make up for the height gap."

Thiago Motta is 1.87 meters tall and is better than many forwards. He is definitely a tall midfielder.

Mourinho did not answer, but looked at everyone and said: "Camby is right. It is difficult to guard him alone. But if you put too much energy on him, the lessons of countless opponents show that , tends to give Schalke more opportunities. So in the next game, the midfielder must stand closer to the back line, we start from defense and let them attack.”

These words made every Inter Milan player look at each other in blank dismay, which was very surprising. Still have to play defensive counterattack at home? You rarely do this in away games, right?

Mourinho looked at the expressions on the players' faces, his face darkened by two points, and he said in a low voice: "Put away your sense of superiority, don't trust those reporters who don't understand shit. Playing defense at home, although the scene is ugly Some, but far less shameful than us risking losing! Schalke said they want to score at our home ground, I believe this is not a smoke bomb, because they have the same expectations as us. Let them come. Use this It’s a game for everyone to see, it’s not just the red and black guys next door who are good at defense!”
