World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 567 Mourinho is the one who knows Gao Yuan best

Gao Yuan's center bombing tactics finally paid off in the 56th minute.

Kusai made a long pass from the backcourt and directly hoisted it to the frontcourt.

This time Dzeko grabbed the first point, ahead of Dell, who was undersized, with a header and the ball made an alley-oop, and was ferried into the penalty area.

At the point where the ball landed this time, Aduriz appeared. He was near the line of the small penalty area, but he did not directly attack the goal, but lightly returned the ball with the top of his head.

This time, it was beyond the expectations of the defensive players.

Joao, who was behind him, rushed over and shot furiously!

The players followed up in a timely manner and quickly formed a small battle group, which is also one of Maritimo's offensive killer moves.

Because Joao shot out suddenly, there were no defensive players around him, and he was in the penalty area. His shot was full of power and the angle was extremely tricky. The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

Although Lori tried his best to make a save, it was too late after all.

The ball went into the net, 1:0!

Although this goal was scored by midfielder Joao, the scoring process embodies the essence of Maritimo's minimalist high-altitude attack.

The defender made a long pass, the two center forwards relayed the header, and finally the midfielder inserted the final word!
Scoring doesn't need to be complicated, just sending the ball into the net is enough!
After conceding the ball, Mourinho looked grim.He is not afraid of the smooth and gorgeous football played by the opponent, or the cumbersome tiki_taka played by the opponent, but he is very afraid of the practical football played by the opponent who "shame no face".

Because he himself is a master of practical football, he knows the power of practical football and minimalism.

"I didn't expect the opponent's coach to be so young...so thick-skinned...no, he knows what he wants so well!" Mourinho secretly slandered.

As an experienced coach, Mourinho is keenly aware that the next game will not be easy to play.

At his own home court, he must strive to win the game, and the opponent can counterattack more calmly!
Sure enough, after gaining the lead, Gao Yuan changed his moves extremely quickly and quickly made substitution adjustments.

And the object of the adjustment has once again exceeded the expectations of the whole world.

He was replaced in the first half, played well, and Aduriz, who had just completed a direct assist, was replaced by Liu Yun, a fast winger.

This substitution made the commentators all over the world silent for a moment.

Everyone cursed in their hearts, Gao Yuan, why don't you always play your cards according to the routine?Can we still have fun together?

However, as commentators, everyone's job is to explain and analyze the game. Whether you understand it or not, this link cannot be avoided.

As a result, the commentators once again entered the guessing mode.

Some said: "It may be that Director Gao Yuan is not satisfied with Aduriz's performance. After all, Aduriz is a veteran over 40 years old..."

This is just talking nonsense with your eyes open, Aduriz, the help he brought to Maritimo after playing is obvious to all, among other things, just that one assist is enough to give him a high score for his performance in this game!

Some said: "Maybe there is a problem with Aduriz's physical fitness. This season, although this veteran has played many times, he is limited by his physical fitness and rarely can play the whole game."

There is some truth to this statement, but Aduriz also had the experience of playing a full game before, and his performance was not bad.More importantly, he currently looks very fit, with no sign of weakness.

There are also speculations: "Is Aduriz injured? Veteran, the body is a little weak..."

Or: "Is there any conflict with the head coach?"

These claims are pure blind guesses.When Aduriz left the field, his smooth and powerful running posture, as well as the tight bear hug after high-fiving Gao Yuan, were all slapping these guessers in the face with facts.

Of course, these speculations are only a minority. The mainstream view is: "Gao Yuan's substitution should be out of tactical considerations. A striker is removed and a midfielder is added. While strengthening the defense, he can fight back better..."

To this is just a correct nonsense.Any fan can easily interpret such information, and there is no need for a professional football commentator with a high salary to analyze it.Moreover, this explanation does not answer the question of why Aduriz, who had just been replaced in the first half, was replaced.

Others don't understand, but Mourinho as an opponent understands!
Gao Yuan's substitution adjustments are all centered on the team, regardless of any other off-court factors.

Aduriz was replaced because as a coach, I felt that he should be allowed to play at this time; I replaced Aduriz because I felt that it was time to let him go.

As for the replacement and replacement, what impact will it have on Aduriz's mentality, and what kind of discussions the outside world will have, are not things that I need to consider on the court at all.

As the coach of the team, all I need to consider is the pursuit of victory!It's just a matter of doing the right thing at the right time!
In essence, they are the same kind of people, with an extreme desire to win and willing to pay any price.In his own team, he says what he says and has absolute authority.They have goals, methods, confidence, perseverance, want to do things, and they can do things!
In their world, there is only one person who can compare with themselves, and that is God!
In the football world, Ibrahimovic is like this, so is Ronaldo, Mourinho is like this, and so is Gao Yuan!
It is difficult for such people to become friends with each other. For example, Mourinho and Ronaldo do not work together harmoniously, but they maintain the greatest understanding and respect for each other.For example, the sympathy between Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo, and even though they were not happy working together, Ronaldo and Mourinho still praised each other afterwards.

For another example, the current Mourinho is against Gao Yuan, although he is an opponent, but it does not affect his appreciation and affirmation in the slightest.

Watching the game video before, Mourinho felt that Gao Yuan was a good opponent, but only when he actually played against each other on the court, could he deeply appreciate how powerful Gao Yuan is!

As Mourinho expected, the next game will be more difficult to play.

With Maritimo taking the lead, they retreated back to their own half without any discipline, and counterattacked calmly.

And he played very resolutely, that is, to hit Liu Yun at this point, using speed to attack the opponent's defense.

Liu Yun's speed is already astonishing. Now facing an opponent who has played high-intensity games for more than 60 minutes, his physical advantage is even more obvious. All kinds of unreasonable hard times will make the defensive players burnt out.

If it is 0 to 0, Mourinho's team is not afraid of such an opponent.

Sterling, Aubameyang, Greenwood, Traore, Wan-Bissaka... In the Premier League, they have seen a lot of fast horses and flyers. With the overall defensive system and defense assistance created by Mourinho, they can easily deal with them.

Can a mere Chinese kid be better than those famous veterans who have been galloping in the Premier League for a long time?
However, the situation is different now. They are behind at home and must attack. However, the opponent's defense line is still extremely strong. Ordinary offenses cannot penetrate at all, and they can only press hard.

This destroyed the original defense system. The original defensive team of two or three people may now have only two or one person left. Not only could it not form an overall defense, but it also gave the opponent more space to sprint!

More importantly, this new Chinese kid's speed and impact are no worse than those veterans who have been famous for a long time!It even has the momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers!
In the next game, Liu Yun used his speed and running position several times to tear apart the opponent's defense, or passed to his teammates or went straight to Huanglong, frequently threatening Tottenham's goal.

The fans of White Hart Lane broke out in cold sweats, and only then did they realize how powerful Gao Yuan and Maritimo are!
Conquer the enemy first everywhere, always able to poke the pain of the home team!
