Midfielder.

Chapter 41 Is being big useful?

Evolution?Even the assistant coach Brito was a little confused about what Mourinho was planning. After all, the round of 16 in the UEFA Cup was not so easy to play.At this time, changing the already proficient lineup and personnel collocation will cause any adverse reactions, no one can say for sure.

At least in Brito's view, this is a bit risky, and even a bit of a loss outweighs the gain. After all, they are only one goal behind the opponent now, and they still have an away goal. As long as they win the opponent 1:0 at the Dragon Stadium, the Porto team will You can advance smoothly.

If the team changes rashly now, it may make the players feel strange on the court, and if they are not careful, they may be fully responsible for the failure of the promotion.

I'm afraid this is not just Brito's opinion. It is estimated that most people will view the problem in this way, of course, except for Mourinho himself.

Liability for failure?Mourinho doesn't seem to feel this way, at least before the game is played, he won't think about it like this. For football games, it's better to let the facts on the field speak for themselves.

Mourinho ignored Brito's dissuasion. After he confirmed the personnel, he began to adjust the offensive and defensive transitions on the field according to his own thinking.During training, he didn't yell much on the sidelines, but he has been using gestures to adjust the positional relationship between Deco and Lin Yi.

Now Mourinho no longer thinks about the game or the possible consequences. He only wants these main players to integrate quickly on the field, especially the midfielder who has just changed his formation. That is the key to his transformation. The most important.

Although Porto's players were a little uncomfortable with this new lineup at the beginning, they have been familiar with many changes in the midfield after many adjustments in the past few days, and there is no rush Things are looking pretty good.

Especially between Deco and Lin Yi, they echo each other one after the other, which connects the Porto team's midfield very well. The movement and small-scale coordination are quite proficient, enough to tear apart any defense.

Lin Yi must be very high in Mourinho's new lineup. The closer to the opponent's penalty area, the better. He is responsible for ambush behind the two strikers.When attacking, whether to choose to shoot or pass depends on his own wishes, and Mourinho requires him to directly threaten the goal.

Creativity, that's what Mourinho thinks about most in the office these days.Now in the Porto team, the most creative frontcourt may be Lin Yi.Sometimes this kid's inspiration bursts out on the court, which will surprise everyone.

Mourinho needs him to use this kind of inspiration to find the opponent's loopholes in the game, so he will let Lin Yi provoke the backbone of the front midfielder alone. He needs this kid to find and penetrate the opponent in the defensive quagmire of the frontcourt The opportunity must be fatal with one blow.

However, when Mourinho decides to let Lin Yi play, he thinks more about the team's defensive issues. If Lin Yi plays alone, then his disadvantage in physical confrontation in the frontcourt will inevitably be given to the midfielder. Costinia's position poses a safety hazard.

There must be an extra helper around this kid, which is why Mourinho has drawn so many times back and forth on the blackboard in the office.He is looking for the most reasonable midfield combination, which should not only be aggressive, but also ensure that it will not add unnecessary pressure to the defense.

And Deco is undoubtedly the best candidate, he can play the role of a protector behind Lin Yi.Although his body is not that strong, Deco's midfield interception ability is not bad, and sometimes his ability to predict in advance will even surprise Costinia.

Based on this idea, Mourinho did not hesitate to take a risk in such a game.Perhaps all this is also due to Valente's red card, otherwise, he might not choose to use his brains in midfield.As the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you know it is not a blessing. Who knows if this time is a blessing.

Those Turks will definitely find a way to defend in the away game. It is impossible to have any accidents. In order to keep the possibility of promotion, the "Jessbon" team is absolutely impossible to attack like in Turkey. At this time, Mourinho needs to use Attack to sound the clarion call to advance.

The chemical reaction between Lin Yi and Deco will be a step carefully prepared by Mourinho. He wants to let those Turks die on defense.

This is a move that Mourinho played when he was about to face the Turks. Lin Yi was responsible for providing his creativity in the frontcourt, and in order to prevent him from putting pressure on his defense after losing the ball, Germany Ke will serve as the interception dam of the midfielder, guarding the midfielder tightly.

Deco is surrounded by Maniche and Alenichev who can provide help at any time. Mourinho asked these people to form a barrier in the midfield and directly crush the opponent within the half-court, so that the ball can be allowed to pass. Reduce pressure on the team's defense.

After all, Valente can't play now, and Mourinho doesn't want Pexito, an idiot, to play again to accompany the guests.He would rather choose to let Jorge Costa play as a full-back than plant a time bomb in his defense.

The lesson of the last game, Mourinho still remembers, he does not want the away experience to be staged again at the Dragon Stadium.He didn't want to make the same mistake again, this time, he wanted to nip any possible accidents in the bud.

Fortunately, although Jorge Costa is a central defender himself, he is still a jack-of-all-trades in the back line that can cover leaks everywhere. At least in Mourinho's view, he is far better than Pexito. Guys are trustworthy.

As for whether his well-prepared changes can play a role in the game, it can only be tested by the game. There is a price to be paid for taking risks, but behind this price is an attractive fruit.

However, when Porto fans saw the upcoming lineup for the UEFA Cup, they were a little confused, because the formation and personnel mix seemed to have changed a bit, at least they had never seen the Porto team like this.

It is not impossible to change the lineup, but the premise is that you have enough time to practice the operability of this lineup, which may be what most people think.

After all, they had already lost the last game. When facing the knockout round, the team would choose to change the style of play they had always insisted on and make a sudden change, not only the change, but also a tactical adjustment in the midfield. Lin Yi It actually appeared on the starting list.

It's not that these Porto people don't like Lin Yi. On the contrary, this little guy is very popular in Porto now. Almost everyone thinks that Da Costa bought such a treasure for 10 euros, which is a bit too worthwhile.

But this does not mean that they can rest assured that a 15-year-old kid will play the leading role in such a major game. The Porto people are still counting on the team to continue to advance. After all, there is no team in Portugal that has won the UEFA Cup. Now They had their chance, so they didn't want to miss it.

"Is this a bit risky?" This may be the first time that Porto's chairman Da Costa has asked Mourinho about the players on the field.

"Let the final result speak for itself. I believe in my own judgment." Mourinho didn't say much, at least he won't change anything because of other people's worries. Things that have already been decided will not be changed again. He hopes The result of the game can explain everything.

But Porto's opponents don't see it that way. Those Turks who won the first round are still preparing to continue to advance to the next round on Porto's territory. Even if this is an away game, they don't think they will lose the lead. .

In particular, their head coach said a little sarcastically in an interview, "There are no 15-year-old children in my team, so I don't have to worry about anything. We won't lose the game here, and the victory will eventually be won." It belongs to us."

Mourinho has no interest in such a war of words. For this opponent, he not only wants to win, but also wins beautifully. The Porto team will fight back with a fierce attack. The goal will let these outsiders know when to win. Shut up.

Lin Yi didn't take all of this to heart at all. Now he is more concerned about helping the team plan a few goals in this game.He doesn't want to waste a rare start. For him, this is not only a game, but also an opportunity to gain a foothold.

However, before the players were ready to appear in the tunnel, doubts about Lin Yi continued, especially those arrogant Turks, their strong big men were still laughing at the Porto team in the tunnel.

"Hey! Portuguese, don't you have anyone who can play football? You must let a child solve the problem, my God, is he not weaned yet, can he see my eyes when he jumps up? Haha!"

A strong and big man wearing the No. 8 jersey of the "Jessbon" team sneered there. He compared Lin Yi's height and laughed wildly with his teammates, but his eyes were full of disdain. He didn't even pay attention to the change of expression on Lin Yi's face.

Before the captain Jorge Costa opened his mouth to fight back, Lin Yi spoke before him. He pointed to the big man's nose and said a word.

"Is it useful to be big? You use your weight to measure your level on the football field? Remember, don't make it too easy for me later, otherwise, I will shake you so that even your own mother doesn't know you! Also, don't brag about Niu so fresh and refined next time, neither Niu nor I are used to it."

After saying this, Lin Yi didn't give the opponent a chance to fight back, because the players' entrance ceremony had already started, he walked out of the player tunnel quickly, and the Porto team was greeted by tens of thousands of cheers.

The vast stadium, the flashing lights, this is a perfect stadium. Today, here, Lin Yi will use his feet to ignite the flames of his European debut. . .
