309 Teach a lesson to the madman

"The weather in your Milan City is really changing. Yesterday's weather forecast said it would be sunny, but it suddenly started to rain today. Fortunately, my team has always been well prepared, otherwise, I would have to buy sneakers temporarily!"

Mourinho and Yang Chengzhuo were on the sidelines and spoke.

At this moment, the fans who were watching this game in front of the TV saw this scene.

They had known each other for a long time. Mourinho was Robson's assistant, and Yang Cheng was Caesar of Kaiserslautern, who led the Bundesliga Red Devils to defeat Robson's Barcelona. Mourinho experienced that game with his own eyes and was very impressive.

Even from a certain perspective, it was Yang Cheng's performance in that game that inspired him.

At that time, he was standing behind Robson and watching Yang Cheng and his team win the championship. He was asking himself in his heart, why can't a young man in his early twenties do such an amazing thing?

Since then, he has unswervingly embarked on the path of professional football coaching. No matter how many ups and downs he encountered, he has never given up his wish. It is his wish to fight Yang Cheng face to face.

He could be very concerned about the outside world, but in fact, his colleagues knew that Mourinho had been preparing for this game since he took charge of Porto, and he was eager to defeat Caesar!

Yang Cheng laughed. He knew that Mourinho's words were about the weather on the surface, but in fact they were saying that Inter Milan took advantage of the climate. Even if he won, he would not be convinced.

"Yes, it's really bad. I miss the warm sunshine on the Iberian Peninsula now. I believe that playing football in that kind of sunshine must be very comfortable. However, I have been in Milan for almost 3 years and have been used to the winter here. Because of the cold, the game has become more challenging. I am eager to challenge the winter!"

Mourinho was laughing on the surface, but he couldn't laugh in his heart.

Yang Cheng is also talking about the weather on the surface, but in fact he is hinting that if Mourinho talks about the weather, it will prove that he and his Porto are soft-boys who can only play football in the sunshine of Portugal and cannot win the game under the cold rain in Milan.

On the other hand, Yang Cheng and his Inter Milan, whether it is the sunshine in Portugal or the cold rain in Milan City, can deal with it calmly, secretly lifting themselves up and stepping down on their opponents.

"I am also a cheap person. I like to constantly challenge opponents who are stronger than me!" Mourinho said lightly.

Yang Cheng was still laughing, "I will never allow myself to lose to an opponent who is weaker than me!"

The two head coaches faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, and neither of them was willing to give in.

…………

…………

"It can be seen that the two young head coaches should be competing."

When the camera was given to Yang Cheng and Mourinho again, both of them looked very personal and handsome head coaches were still talking to each other, and the live commentator couldn't help but tease him.

"Before the game, Mourinho said that when he was setting up tactics against Inter Milan, he suddenly discovered that his team must have 13 players to block Inter Milan's attack!"

The live commentator was amused by Mourinho's witty words. This Portuguese spoke very interestingly.

"We should all look forward to it now, and see how he uses 11 players to complete tasks that only 13 people can complete!"

"In an interview before the game, Yang Cheng said that Inter Milan, who plays at home, hopes to continue to make great strides in the Champions League and qualify in advance, thereby shortening the schedule of two-line battles!"

"It is obvious that the two-line battle has caused great trouble to Inter Milan. Even Caesar, whose rotation system is very good, can't stand it."

While talking, both sides returned to the locker room. Not long after, players from both sides appeared in the player channel, and their starting rosters also came to each other.

Baia, Joe Costa, Carvalho, Andrade, Costinia, McCarthy...

Looking at Porto's starting lineup, a large part of it was the main lineup that followed Mourinho to win the Champions League in his previous life. Among them, Esnyder, who played for Juventus, was sitting on the bench. Although Deco is now in Inter Milan because of Yang Cheng's relationship, I believe Mourinho will be able to fill the gap for the Brazilian.

To put it bluntly, Mourinho's tactics will never be affected by a certain player. He emphasizes the overall situation!

"The Portuguese should still focus on guard!" Paul Bayer looked at Mourinho's starting list and made a firm analysis.

Yang Cheng nodded constantly. If Porto dared to make a big push at Inter Milan's home court, they would be brains broken.

Inter Milan's starting lineup in this game is Buffon, Zambrota, Nesta, Lucio and Zanetti, the midfielders are Pirlo, Nedved and Deco, the front midfielders are Recoba, and the double strikers are Fanny and Batistuta.

From the retreat of Nedved's position and Recoba took office as the front midfielder, it can be seen that Yang Cheng is going to solve this battle with the team's offensive power and the players' personal abilities!

In the case where there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, the tactics are extremely limited. Besides, Yang Cheng will not give Mourinho a chance. He wants to keep an eye on the Portuguese madman in the whole game and teach him a lesson!

…………

…………

This game started at Porto's feet, and Mourinho arranged a 4312 tactic, which is also Porto's first choice tactic after Mourinho took office this season. It performed well in the Portuguese league, but whether it is competitive in the European arena depends on Inter Milan to test.

There is a saying that is right: tactics are dead, but people live!

Porto looks like a two-forward striker, not conservative, but in fact, Mourinho has been snatching from the beginning of the game, from front to back, constantly grabbing, constantly destroying, and constantly fouling.

"It is estimated that Mourinho has only one task to the midfield and frontcourt, destroying the connection between Inter Milan's midfield and the forward line, that's all!" Even the on-site commentator was surprised by Mourinho's crazy game tactics. How severe is this for the players' physical energy consumption?

But it was helpless to say that Inter Milan's crazy grabbing in Porto also exposed his problems, especially in the midfield.

The first shot of the game was not from Inter Milan's feet, but from McCarthy's hurried long shot. After Inter Milan lost the ball in the midfield, they were directly hit to counterattack.

As Yang Cheng was worried before the game, Pirlo played as a midfielder. Although Nedved and Deco were on the side to protect him, he could not provide stable assistance to the defense line similar to Emerson, especially on the defensive end.

But the top team is the top team. When Yang Cheng saw Porto grabbing fiercely at the beginning, he not only did not let the team avoid its edge, but instead walked to the sidelines and gave instructions to the players on the court, "Take the fuck back!"

As if feeling the anger of the head coach, Inter Milan quickly pushed Porto out of its half and launched a fierce attack on the goal guarded by Baia. Dutch scorer Van Nie was the first to score for Inter Milan in the 19th minute.

This is Recoba's personal breakthrough on the right and passed the ball into the penalty area. Carvalho did not follow Van Nicht in time. The Dutch scored a goal from the back point, opening the first record for Inter Milan, and also continued to lead the European Champions League scorer list.

Leading 1:0, Inter Milan has a tide of offensive for a moment.

After conceding the ball, Porto did not become impatient at all and still followed the tactics after the opening game.

But in the 27th minute, Inter Milan launched an attack. Zanetti broke through on the right and passed the ball. After Recoba got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he threw away the defensive player and passed directly behind Porto's defense line. Van Nila went to the left side of the penalty area to get the ball and crossed it. Batistuta headed the ball in front of the goal, scoring 2:0!

Inter Milan obviously did not become conservative after scoring the goal. They are still actively looking for opportunities to attack. Even after leading by 2 goals, Inter Milan still chased Porto.

In the 38th minute, Van Nie headed the ball in front of the ball, and the Porto defender made a mistake in cooperation. Recoba was like a loach, taking advantage of the opportunity in the penalty area, and before Baia attacked, he stabbed the score to 3:0!

For a moment, the stands at the Meazza Stadium went crazy. They seemed to see an Inter Milan team that was about to complete the bloody massacre. Even if the opponent was just Porto from Portugal, they were all satisfied with the performance of the players.

Obviously, when he returned to the locker room with 3 goals, Mourinho had to reexamine his tactics. He quickly made adjustments, replaced a forward and replaced a midfield defender, strengthened the midfield defense.

After the start of the second half, Porto's three lines shrank more tightly. It's not that it was a iron barrel formation, but Mourinho obviously had to hold on first, at least not allow Inter Milan to continue scoring goals. His way of freezing Inter Milan is still the same as in the first half, rushing and fouling!

Crazy snatches and fouls can disrupt Inter Milan's rhythm, which makes Inter Milan unable to incorporate the game into its own rhythm. When attacking, the speed cannot be increased at all and becomes very slow, especially in the second half, every player seemed to have a shot put on his feet and could not be excited at all.

When Yang Cheng saw this scene, he certainly would not suspect that his players were not working hard. He knew very well that this was because Porto's tactics, or Mourinho's tactics, put pressure on the players.

Seeing the game start to get stalemate, Yang Cheng also made substitutions, replaced Ferrari and Perotta respectively, and brought Lucio to the midfielder position. He wanted to try some changes, but unfortunately, he failed to achieve satisfactory results.

The Brazilian central defender is indeed very capable of moving forward, but it does not mean that he can be competent for the position of a midfielder.

In the end, the game ended with Inter Milan defeating visiting Porto 3-0.

…………

…………

"Congratulations, Mr. Mourinho!"

As the winner, Yang Cheng walked over first and reached out to Mourinho from afar.

He guessed correctly. Mourinho did have the idea of ​​leaving directly, but he didn't expect that the annoying guy came over early, and the two of them blocked the front of the player's passage, and there was no way to avoid it.

"Your performance in the game is really eye-catching, and you are very hardworking and diligent." Yang Cheng said with a smile. After winning the game, he was in a good mood, but it does not mean that he does not intend to pursue it. "It is also very aggressive!"

Mourinho certainly knew what Yang Cheng said last time. Porto did play fiercely in this game, and frequently fouled. Although there were only 3 yellow cards, it could not cover up their achievements in fouls.

"Anyway, this is a good game!" Yang Cheng stretched out his hand again.

Mourinho nodded constantly, "I will wait for you in Porto!"

Yang Cheng shrugged and nodded with a smile, "Remember to invite me to dinner!"

The Portuguese stared at the guy in anger, turned around and walked into the player's passage.

After seeing Mourinho away, Yang Cheng's original smile was curled away, and instead he looked stern.

Inter Milan did not take much advantage in this game.

Judging from the score, 3:0, the complete victory was a good result, but from the process, Porto really limited Inter Milan's midfield. Yes, they fouled and snatched, but who stipulates that fouls cannot be fouled and snatched in football games?

It is the head coach's responsibility to use all rules reasonably to lead the team to win. From this point of view, Mourinho is right, on the contrary, he did a beautiful job!

The huge gap in strength has made him unable to stand on the same front as Inter Milan to compete. It is really not easy for him to lead Porto to this point.

As for Inter Milan's own problems, Yang Cheng is not unaware of them. He has tried to solve them, but he has never completely solved the problem. The reason is that there are too few midfielders like Emerson in today's football world.

Due to injury this season, although Inter Milan's performance is better in terms of record, it has regressed compared to last season. Yang Cheng has always had a bit of a problem with this.

…………

…………

"Inter Milan is indeed one of the most powerful teams in football today. We finally appreciated at the Meazza Stadium. What is strength? I believe this has great benefits for me and my players, because it can make us more clear about the gap between us and the strongest team in Europe."

"In this crucial game, my players and I made a lot of mistakes. We failed to maintain the situation established at the beginning. We paid a heavy price for this. We were thrown three goals in a row by our opponents. There is nothing worse than this!"

"The strength of Inter Milan is that their players are very good, and Caesar spent three years to blend them into an organic whole. In the past, they were still improving, but now they are maturing. I think they have the ability to win everything!"

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho praised Inter Milan and Yang Cheng in a rare manner.

Yang Cheng also reciprocated and highly praised Porto, coached by Mourinho, and believed that this was the strongest team in Portugal. He believed that Porto would definitely reach the peak of history under Mourinho's coaching.

But at the end of the press conference, Mourinho said something very interesting.

"Inter Milan's knife is very sharp and tear us to pieces, but I believe that the blood that flows from us will attract the lurking sharks, so I won't think I lost this game!"

Many reporters think that the Portuguese are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat.
