Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 373

After the 8th round of the Premier League, the 2018/19 season has entered the end of the first period, and the situation of the entire Premier League has been fully demonstrated.

Liverpool is thriving, followed by Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur.

At 10:7 on October 19th, Arsenal beat Fulham 00-5 away at the Craven Villa Stadium. Lacazette and Aubameyang scored twice, Ramsey scored and Schurrle once equalized .Arsenal have won 1 consecutive league victories.

In the eighth round of the Premier League, Chelsea also defeated Southampton 8-3 away.
At 10:7 on October 00th, the 30th round of the Premier League was a focus match at Old Trafford. Manchester United beat Newcastle 8-3 at home. Kennedy and Yoshiki Muto scored goals, and Mata and Martial scored 2 consecutive goals. The ball equalized and Sanchez reversed the lore in the 2th minute.

This is embarrassing, Mourinho won!This time on the field.

On such a magical night, Mourinho used a miraculous substitution and a big reversal to regain his dignity.

Under the background of the British media's praise of Klopp and Guardiola, Mourinho proved that his style is not outdated.

In this campaign, Manchester United encountered a nightmare start.

The goals of Kennedy and Yoshiki Muto made Manchester United trail 10-0 in the first 2 minutes. Old Trafford was dead silent, and Mourinho's face was livid.

Almost everyone is waiting to see Mourinho's jokes. The British "Mirror" said before the game that no matter whether Mourinho wins or not, he will dismiss get out of class after this game. Mourinho himself Realize that there is something to be done, and you must not sit still.

In the 18th minute, Mourinho fought hard.

He replaced the central defender Bailey with the attacking player Mata, and sent the offensive signal to the team players.

In the first half, although Mourinho replaced Mata, it should be said that he still had some reservations. After all, McTominay has retreated, and in a certain sense, he also belongs to the back four.

At the end of the half, Manchester United was still trailing 0-2. Mourinho replaced McTominay with Fellaini in the midfield. In this case, Manchester United basically belonged to the back three. When Luke Shaw With Ashley Young on the attack, Manchester United even appeared in an extreme single-back formation.

It can be said that Mourinho completely threw away his bus tactics in this game.

In the 67th minute, Mourinho made the last substitution. He replaced Rashford with Sanchez.

Mourinho's substitutions in this game were amazing. In the 70th minute, it was Mata's goal that helped Manchester United sound the horn of offense.

Another amazing thing is that Mourinho replaced Rashford with Sanchez, not Martial.

It was Martial who just equalized the game for Manchester United, which shows that Mourinho observed the state of the players on the field very carefully.

In the end, it was Sanchez who helped Manchester United complete the lore.

It seems to be an accidental reversal, but it actually embodies the art of Mourinho's substitutions.

Every substitution in this field is to strengthen the offense. Mata is replaced to increase the force in the midfield, Fellaini is replaced to add a header point in the midfield, and Sanchez is replaced to strengthen the breakthrough. ability and finishing ability.

In the end, these details determined Manchester United's big reversal, which can be said to be inevitable among accidents.

"Sky Sports" said that Mourinho's substitutions in this game reflected his long-lost bloodliness.

Indeed, I don't know when Mourinho's substitutions began to become patterned and conservative.

When leading, the defensive midfielder is used to replace the attacker. Even in the case of a draw, the defensive player will be replaced.Known as the originator of "bus tactics".

But that was not the case for Mourinho when he was young.

When he first coached the Premier League, Mourinho's substitutions were very bold and avant-garde. Sometimes when he was leading, he would replace the midfielder with a striker to strengthen the offense and completely seal the victory.

His substitutions are always unexpected, so he is called a master tactician.

Tonight, after Mourinho was completely cornered, his "madman" true colors finally appeared.

He rediscovered his lost self, Ferguson's Manchester United seemed to have possessed Mourinho, and he began to let the attacking players carnival on the pitch.

These gains are far more valuable than 3 points.

At least, Mourinho began to seek change, although in the end it was only Mourinho who was continuing his life at Manchester United.

Before the match between Manchester United and Newcastle United in the Premier League, some media and fans had dismissed Mourinho from class. Just as they were waiting to see Mourinho’s jokes, Mourinho brought a soul-stirring 3-2 reversal .

This time, he didn't have to respond to anyone's criticism after the game. The issue people discussed was that Manchester United's defense really needed to be bought. Adjust it.Because, this time Mourinho won.

Mourinho has a very successful coaching record in the past. He used to stand at the top of the world and Europe. He is used to winning everything in the football world, including the microphone in the press conference.

He is the darling of the media and the favorite of the trolls. His unyielding characteristic has made his personal charm, and now it almost ruins him.

Before the game against Watford this season, Mourinho took out a note that recorded Rashford's playing time to use fans and the media to question his criticism of not using new stars.

However, in fact, the result of this did not make the fans recognize him, but it seemed a bit naive and funny.

Yes, so what if you let him play before?They want to blame you, and they can come up with more excuses.

Talking about the reason why Sanchez was not included in the squad before, Mourinho shouted, "You are clamoring to use Martial every day."

When Mourinho said these words, the people who resisted him did not change, but instead labeled him "dumping the pot to the fans".

That's right, they asked you to use Martial, but there are still many people who are still calling Mourinho to dismiss get out of class every day. Do you want to dismiss get out of class?
When being criticized for Manchester United's poor record, Mourinho said "Is No.2 the same as relegation now", but he was sprayed with "the second one with a difference of 19 points?"

When Mourinho was accused of tactical incompetence, he reminded the fans of the top league trophy in the room of honor, and was sprayed with "living on the old and living in the past."

Mourinho, Mourinho, you said that when you fell off the court, people would watch and laugh at you as a "tribute to Van Gaal". Do you have to stand up and explain to them that the ground is too slippery?
Mourinho is not as deified as he used to be.

In the past, he was the representative of success in the football world. Everything he said can be regarded as a textbook.

Why?As Mourinho himself said, because he has a championship, because he can win.When you win, everything is right; when you can't, everything is wrong.

Before the World Cup, Deschamps was known as "the weakest link in the French team". After winning the World Cup, he also ranked among the world's famous coaches and was selected into the FIFA annual list of famous coaches;

Guardiola was criticized as a "soft guy" and "only talk on paper" and became a recognized tactical master after winning the Premier League championship;
A negative example, when Conte led civilian Italy to a good record in the European Cup, he immediately rebounded and won the championship after leading Chelsea to a trough.

The Mourinho bus that the Premier League is shouting every day is not a new word. As early as Porto and Chelsea, Mourinho pursued the 1-0 doctrine.

Countless opponents and the media criticized Mourinho's football as ugly, but in the end?

When you win, when you win the championship, don't you receive a lot of praise?

People never want to hear what you explain. They assume you are what you are, and you are what you are, and you can't wash it off.

And as long as you win, they can't hack you no matter how they hack.

Obviously, Mourinho has realized his traffic situation.

After the game, facing rumors of dismissal, Mourinho said:
"If it rains in London tomorrow, it's my fault, and if Brexit happens, it's my fault."

That being the case, Mourinho can focus on how to win on the court, not on winning off the court.

As long as you can win, in the face of any criticism you can say: Sorry, I won, thank you.

……

In Zhang Mai's view, a victory cannot solve the problem of Mourinho's imminent dismissal, but the stubborn Mourinho does not seem to realize this.

Manchester United reversed Newcastle 3-2.After the game, Mourinho accepted interviews with the BBC and BT Sport, and responded to some hot topics. He also said that the belief that fans bring to players is the key to victory.

First, Mourinho talked about the game:

"In my opinion, we performed very badly in the first half. When facing the opponent's pressing, we seemed a little nervous and couldn't let go. We didn't deal with this kind of pressure well. Almost every time the opponent took the ball, he could To score a goal, we were flustered."

Later, Mourinho revealed that the midfielder's lecture played a very good role:
"At halftime, I told my players that we have to deal with the game with a different mentality, we have to play with faith, we may win or lose, but we cannot lose our dignity. We fell behind by 2 goals but we knew we were better than our opponents, that's true, but that's football. I can't guarantee we'll win in the second half, but I hope the players can show their blood A club always has ups and downs. These giant clubs are not only made up of victories and difficult moments, but also dignity. If you look at the history of AC Milan, you will find their current situation incredible. But every big team in the world has highs and lows, that's normal."

Regarding the victory, Mourinho especially thanked the Manchester United fans:
"I'm happy for the players and the fans, I'm amazed at how the fans reacted when the team fell behind and they didn't give up. I think it's amazing, I remember winning Liverpool with my team but I'm amazed that the fans are still singing their anthem, that's how much the fans love the club. My joy for the victory is not just for me, but for the fans, they can go home singing .”

Mourinho believes that the key to victory in this field is not the substitution, but the mentality:
"The secret to winning today's game is not the substitutions, it's the mentality, the desire to win, the commitment. I've always said that nobody is more important than the club. This game is not about me or the players, it's about Manchester United. ...The players gave everything in the second half for sure, they gave it their all. Even if it was 2-2, they deserve credit because no one guarantees a win, but your attitude does."

In addition, Mourinho also talked about McTominay and Rashford:

"I'm 55 years old, I can handle the pressure of being mobbed, but some youngsters may not be able to handle it. We saw Rashford looked anxious on the pitch, and McTominay was very scared, even the old players. It's not normal to start making mistakes. At one point I even suspected they might score an own goal, we need to show a fearless mentality and not scare ourselves off."

Finally, Mourinho was asked whether he would be fired, and Mourinho said calmly:
"No. I'm going to London now, and a friend of mine once said that if it rains in London tomorrow, it's my fault. If Brexit happens, it's my fault. I have to be ready for everything. I think, Evil and siege is too much in football. But it's my life, and it's a life I love. I've dreamed of this job since I was a kid. Manchester United has a contract with me until now. In July 2020, I had a contract until 7 and I didn't put a gun on Manchester United. They approached me and offered me a contract because they wanted it."
