Chapter 133 The European Cup begins!
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
In mid-June, the major European seasons have ended for about half a month.
2016/2017 Europa League champion, Arsenal.
2016/2017 Champions League champion, Real Madrid.
In this Champions League final, Juventus and Real Madrid fought fiercely for 90 minutes. Juventus lost to Real Madrid 1:4 in the final. Following the 2014/2015 season, Juventus once again missed the Champions League final stage.
Throughout the entire game, Juventus, which lacked Pirlo, had a big problem in the midfield.
Although Dybala, Khedira and Pjanic performed very well, they were ultimately unable to compete with the Real Madrid midfield line composed of Modric, Casemiro and Kroos.
The final score was largely driven by Real Madrid's midfielder, who finally won the game with Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.
Real Madrid once again expanded their Champions League trophy pool, which also allows them to continue to maintain a huge advantage in the club's number of Champions League trophies.
After all the games were over, Lucky did not leave London. Instead, he continued to conduct some personal training at the empty training ground.
But as I continued practicing, something didn't feel right. Lucky started running to the gym again and started pumping iron, and he didn't know what to do when he was in there.
During that time, Mourinho's biggest job was to get Lucky out of the gym.
When the European Cup was about to start, Mourinho also needed to go to the stadium to observe, but he was worried about Lucky practicing secretly, so he had no choice but to take Lucky with him.
This year's European Cup will be held in France.
On the 24th, Mourinho's team arrived in France early, waiting for the start of the game.
In this European Cup, Arsenal needs to inspect many players, the most important of which is French center Giroud.
Of course, it's also a job to keep an eye on the status of the club's players at the same time.
The whole of France has been immersed in the atmosphere of the European Cup.
A large number of European fans flocked to France to prepare for this quadrennial event.
In distant America, the America's Cup competition is also taking place.
However, in terms of the concentration of strong teams and the excitement of competition, it cannot be compared with the European Cup.
There are many strong teams in this European Cup, including Portugal, France, Germany, England, Italy, etc.
As the host, France naturally carries the expectations of local fans and the hope of winning the championship.
For today's people, the impression of the French team still remains in the Zidane era, and with Zidane's retirement, French football's performance in the World Cup has become increasingly silent.
But with the appointment of head coach Deschamps and leading a group of young players to return to the European Cup stage, fans' expectations for the national team have also increased a lot.
The French lineup this year can be said to be extremely strong.
Pogba + Kanter in the midfield will increase the intensity.
There are also players such as Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann, center Giroud, Payet and other players on the front line.
Lori guards the French team's goal. With this lineup, France's championship craze is also rising.
The only pity is that Mbappe, who performed well in the Champions League this year, failed to be called up for the national team. Deschamps also said this. The main reason is that Mbappe is too young to form immediate combat capabilities, and the running-in level is not enough. , he increased his expectations for Mbappe's performance in the World Cup.
Another French superstar, Benzema, was abandoned by head coach Deschamps due to a "fraud incident".
The Real Madrid center who just won the Champions League trophy missed the European Cup. This is a pity for many people, but it also means that the French coach firmly resists this ugly behavior.
With this, Giroud has become France's inevitable starting choice for center forward.
France's first match will be held at Lyon's Stade Lumière.
France will face Ireland in their first match.
This game will be held on June 25th.
On the day of the game, Lucky and Mourinho dressed up and walked into the stadium.
The two did not appear in the fan area, but in the exclusive observation space provided by the organizer, where there were also scouts and head coaches from other clubs.
The appearance of Mourinho and Lucky caused some commotion.
Chief among them is Lucky.
If Mourinho hadn't been watching, they would have given Lucky their business cards and knocked on the wall.
However, Mourinho is very strict with Lucky.
Whenever anyone looked at Lucky for a few more times, he would stare back.
"Don't look around!" Mourinho said suddenly.
Le Kai was stunned: "I didn't!"
Mourinho: "Focus on the game!"
Lucky: ""
During the game, players from both sides have arrived on the court.
France (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Lori.
Defenders: Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra.
Midfielder: Pogba, Kante, Matuindi.
Forwards: Griezmann, Giroud, Payet.
Ireland (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Randolph.
Defenders: Ward, Duffy, Keogh, Coleman.
Midfielder: McLean, Hendrick, McCarthy, Bullard.
Forwards: Murphy, Sean Long.
Mourinho was writing something down in his notes and asked, "Which side do you like?"
Lucky crossed his legs, held his chin in one hand, and said, "France!"
Mourinho nodded.
Although the current France does not have the super wing breakthrough and starting ability like Mbappe in 2018.
But Ireland is still not something that can be shaken.
Moreover, in the first game, Deschamps' formation was also more conservative. With a solid 4-3-3 position, it was difficult for Ireland to gain sufficient offensive momentum through France's midfield line.
However, Lucky soon changed his mind.
Only 5 minutes into the game, Ireland took the lead through a penalty kick.
After this penalty, France fell behind.
Since then, France as a whole has become a bit unstable, especially in the midfield where mistakes have frequently occurred.
"There's something wrong with N'Golo's condition!" Lucky frowned.
Kante's playing style at Arsenal was solid and efficient, but after coming to the French team, he became a little exhausted.
Both sides need Kanter to block, which also causes Kanter's defensive area to expand a lot, which makes him extremely uncomfortable for a while.
"The remaining two midfielders were too obsessed with attacking, which led to increased defensive pressure on Kante. This was also the root cause of Ireland's first goal!"
Mourinho said calmly.
Lucky nodded slightly.
He could clearly feel that Kanter was running more, but there were indeed more ineffective runs.
In the 27th minute, facing Ireland's sudden counterattack, Kanter had no choice but to knock down the opponent and use foul tactics.
Kanter stood up silently. He first turned to look at teammates Pogba and Matuyindi, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Lucky looked anxious in the stands.
"This guy! It doesn't matter if he is a boring gourd at the club, but he is still so wilted now? You are scolding! This is the situation caused by the two remaining midfielders rushing to attack!"
Lucky bared his teeth.
If it were him, these two people would be furious.
Before the defense is stable, if they take the risk to attack again, they will be given a discount.
"And this Luori, what are you waiting for if you don't shout at this time?"
Lucky looked anxious.
Mourinho smiled and asked, "What would you do if it were you?"
Lucky looked at Mourinho.
"If it were me, the first goal wouldn't even come!"
Mourinho was stunned for a moment, obviously this answer was somewhat unexpected.
But he was soon relieved.
If the midfielder is replaced by Lucai, according to Lucai's vigilance and concentration, the first penalty kick will indeed not occur.
Snapped!
!
Mourinho closed his notebook and said, "Let's watch the second half!"
This also shows that it was difficult for the French team to score back in the first half.
Their first task is to stabilize the situation and wait for adjustments during the halftime break.
Although the French team had a stumbling start, they still held on to the score.
Ireland's performance in the first half was even better.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
After adjustments and reprimands, France finally got into shape.
They began to make full use of the connection between Pogba and Griezmann, and combined with Giroud's super scoring ability, they scored two goals in just 5 minutes and completed the comeback.
The French fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene became lively again.
However, Kanter was substituted in the 55th minute. Apparently head coach Deschamps was not satisfied with Kanter's performance.
