Chapter 262 Another Lesson

But Li Yuxin saw a special person, Mourinho was actually on the field, and Li Yuxin found that Mourinho had come in front of him,

For Chelsea fans, they don’t think too much about it. They only know that Mourinho won them two league titles as soon as he came, and they are very popular in the Champions League every year. Although they didn’t win any titles last year, they also performed very well in the Champions League and the league. No championship is just bad luck. If Mourinho can’t do it, who else can?Dick might do, but he's gone to Man City...

So they still shouted the slogan of supporting Mourinho, and cheered for the best coach in their minds at Stamford Bridge.

Abramovich also appeared in the stands. He looked at Mourinho who was sitting in a windbreaker with mixed emotions. For Abramovich, he certainly knew how good Mourinho was, and also knew that the final failure of last season had a lot to do with his joining the team.

However, in a stand, a figure sat there alone, motionless.

Mourinho, wearing his famous Armani trench coat, sat in a corner of the stands, watching the field with rapt attention.

His real fame was at Chelsea. Although he won the Champions League in Porto, at that time people just thought he was a young coach who suddenly rose. After all, the stage of Portugal is still too small. Only by achieving results in the five major leagues is what a real top coach should do!
However, by winning the championship in the Champions League, he won the favor of Abramovich, and soon he became the head coach of Chelsea, a team without too many honors, with enough financial support, which gave him enough stage.

Victory, victory, victory, record points, Chelsea's first season seemed so perfect, although they were surprisingly eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals, but Mourinho firmly believed that it was only a matter of time before he led Chelsea to win the honor of the Triple Crown.

At that time, he and Abramovich cooperated tacitly. Abramovich was a generous boss who gave him enough financial support and power. He also won two league championships for the team... However, from the third season, the honeymoon period ended. Without his consent, Abramovich got Ballack and Shevchenko, which made Chelsea unbalanced. , It was Inter Milan that won the Triple Crown, not Chelsea. Chelsea did not win any championship for the first time after Mourinho took office.

Conflicts began to increase. Just before that, Abramovich had issued an ultimatum. Mourinho also signed an agreement with Chelsea and terminated the contract. The idea of ​​becoming a head coach like Mourinho at Chelsea back then has now dissipated with the wind.

Mourinho took a deep breath, then stood up, took one last look at Stamford Bridge, and then turned and strode out of the stadium with Mendes to a cafe, he had told Wenger in advance.

Putting on casual clothes, Li Yuxin came to the cafe,

The difference between a cafe and a bar is that one is very noisy, one is very quiet, one is on the first floor, one is on the second floor, one has no air-conditioning, and the other always maintains a proper temperature without the disgusting smell of alcohol.

As soon as "Welcome" walked in, a well-dressed waiter came to entertain him politely.

Li Yuxin glanced at the coffee shop, there were also a lot of people gathered, but obviously, it was more orderly than in the bar.

The Stamford Bridge Stadium can be said to be very expensive, and the rent of the shops is not cheap, but the area is small. This coffee shop is probably less than [-] square meters, but there are bar counters, storage rooms, toilets and other facilities separated.

Sometimes it’s like this, no matter how big the space is, it feels crowded if it’s messed up, and if the space is small, as long as it’s tidy and tidy, it’s enough. People, whether it’s comfortable or not, is purely a feeling.

He saw Mendes waving to himself, Mourinho was there too,

In Li Yuxin's impression, Mourinho is a stubborn and strong person, but he did not expect that he will look completely different today.

"Maybe, I mean maybe, sir, you should consider retiring!" Li Yuxin suggested kindly.

After hearing this, Mourinho couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Of course, I will retire. Everyone has a moment to step back from the front line, but it's not now."

Having said that, Mourinho turned his head to look at Li Yuxin, his eyes full of appreciation, "I think the two of us have many similarities, do you know which one is similar?"

Not only did Li Yuxin not feel that this was an insult, but he felt it was an honor, because he was able to hear this sentence from the mouth of the proud Mourinho, which proved that Mourinho was on the same level as him, otherwise he would not have said that.

"Aren't you going to admit defeat, sir?" Li Yuxin asked with a smile.

Mourinho laughed even harder, and kept nodding, "Yes, don't admit defeat. At the beginning, everyone suspected that you couldn't support the club's striker, but you succeeded, and you see, how good you are now, you rely on a temperament of not admitting defeat, and this temperament has also been passed on from you to the team, to the head coach, to the players, and to everyone in the club. The blood is like a virus, infecting them."

"This is a kind of spiritual inheritance!"

In the Premier League, an excellent center forward is a must. If you want to achieve good results, you must have a top striker. Such a center forward not only scores goals, but also needs to take on enough tasks, such as carrying the opponent's defender in the penalty area, such as pulling out gaps, such as playing for teammates... Manchester United used to have Van Nistelrooy. After Van Nistelrooy left, he created Ronaldo. There is no striker like this, and Arsenal has you!
Li Yuxin was flattered, he couldn't believe that he could get such a good evaluation from Mourinho.

In his view, everything he did was to establish the character of the team. Since finding Bruce as the team's first head coach, Li Yuxin has been doing his best to shape the character of the team.

But now, the team's personality has taken shape, and he is very satisfied, especially the team's unyielding bloodliness, which can make the team very tenacious and unbreakable without lacking in delicate skills.

The well-informed Mourinho naturally saw this, but he didn't think it was the soul and character injected into the team by the head coach like the insider Li Yuxin did, but he thought it was Li Yuxin who injected it into the team.

Afterwards, a few people chatted a lot, and then Li Yuxin went home, and there was the North London Derby in the next round. After the meal, Li Yuxin began to think, "A team is like a person. From newborns, to young children, to teenagers, young adults, middle-aged, etc., there will be ups and downs, and there will be a cycle, so you can see Mark Hughes, Cantona, Roy Keane, Beckham, Andy Cole, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United have come this way along the way. Re-reform the team, because brilliance often means that the team is about to go downhill, and this needs to be changed!"

Li Yuxin couldn't help but think of the Ferguson era. He did develop the team along such a track, and he did achieve amazing achievements.up!

And Ferguson is changing, "But if you look at the four players at Manchester United, Keane is the core in the traditional sense. He is responsible for distributing the ball and sorting out the midfield, while also taking care of the defense. Beckham also has the role of a metronome, that is, he suddenly transfers the ball with a big foot, and the way Giggs changes the rhythm of the game is his high-speed forward penetration and ability to break through with the ball, and he also cuts inside.

"Since all four have the ability to control the rhythm of the game and at the same time have the means to change the rhythm of the game, who is the core? This is where Manchester United is strong. The four play football completely by tacit understanding. Whoever sees the other's loopholes will change the rhythm of the game and give the opponent a fatal blow."
Li Yuxin was a little stunned when he heard it. He had to admit that when he was watching the football before, he only thought that Manchester United's midfield was strong, but he didn't know it. After analyzing it, he found that Manchester United was actually so strong.

No core, is it the same as in martial arts novels?

When Ferguson expelled stars again and again, everyone realized that Manchester United relied on the off-ball running system instead of stars!As long as I think of the not-so-luxurious player configuration of Manchester United in the later generations, but they can always tear through the opponent's defense through smooth passing and receiving, frequent and orderly running without the ball, and then score goals and achieve impressive results.

The value of Manchester United's system has not yet appeared, but when they win the Triple Crown, after the century, as Ferguson drives out the core players time and time again, but leads the team to high glory time and time again, people will know the true value core of Manchester United!Manchester United's off-the-ball running system is even admired by Barcelona's Cruyff. One can imagine the superiority of this system. In the past few years, Manchester United has not joined world-class or even European-level stars in midfield, but they can always show their strength that they can't lose to any giant team, relying on this system!Of course, Sir Ferguson's training and understanding of tactics are also crucial.
