Throughout the past few years, all of Barcelona's head coaches have basically had a very obvious imprint. Whether they are direct descendants or Dutch coaches like Louis van Gaal and Rijkaard, they all have the same or close genes to Barcelona.
But Mourinho is not. His coaching style can even be said to be completely opposite to that of Barcelona.
It is not difficult to see from his coaching of Porto and Chelsea that Mourinho does not pay attention to possession of the ball at all.
Emphasizing integrity and defense are Mourinho's coaching characteristics, but Barcelona emphasizes possession of the ball and offense.
This is why, at the beginning of Mourinho's coaching, almost all traditional Barcelona people, including Cruyff, strongly disapproved of him and believed that it would be difficult for Mourinho to succeed in Barcelona.
But the results were a bit surprising.
Mourinho did not play Barcelona's traditional football, and his ball possession rate dropped significantly compared to the Rijkaard period. However, Mourinho's team succeeded!
Won both La Liga and Copa del Rey!
Even if they win the Champions League again, it will be the second triple crown in the history of Barcelona and even La Liga!
It can be said that Mourinho used his results to fight back against everyone.
Of course, controversy still exists. Cruyff and many people in Barcelona still do not approve of Mourinho's football. There are similar disputes even in the Barcelona locker room. But it is undeniable that Mourinho's football in Barcelona
The coach has finally gained a foothold, and both Rosell and Bartomeu are firmly on his side.
This puts Mourinho's position in doubt.
…
Looking at Barcelona under Mourinho's coaching, it cannot be said that Barcelona's characteristics have been completely lost, but it has been relatively weakened.
The double midfielder composed of Xavi and Iniesta is still the core of Barcelona. This is something that no one can change. After all, these two players have a very solid position whether they are in Barcelona or the Spanish national team.
But around the two of them, Mourinho often deploys Seydu Keita and Yaya Toure, often adopting a 4-4-2 formation instead of Barcelona's traditional 4-3-3, and also puts more emphasis on the midfield and frontcourt.
Defense.
Once the ball is lost, Barcelona will press and press like crazy.
This is very similar to Su Dong's first derby of the century with Barcelona, the 5-0 bloodbath against Real Madrid.
On the offensive end, Eto'o and Messi are the ones Mourinho relies on most, but he has always wanted to introduce high center forward Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan to partner with these two players.
Form a dream trident.
Judging from Mourinho's formation and what he expressed, he still hopes to inject his own football philosophy on the basis of Barcelona's traditional football philosophy, so that the two can be integrated.
It is precisely because of these that Barcelona under Mourinho presents a very strange, even very contradictory situation.
The time for possession of the ball has been reduced, but the defense has become stronger and the play is very stable. More importantly, the offensive method is mainly counterattack. The pressing force in the midfield and frontcourt is very strong. As soon as the ball is intercepted, the counterattack will be launched immediately.
This looks very un-Barcelona, but also very Barça-like.
Facing such a team, not only Su Dong couldn't understand it, but Heynckes couldn't understand it either. It is estimated that even Barcelona's own people, such as Cruyff and others, may not understand it.
Maybe, even Mourinho doesn't know what is going on with the Barcelona he trained.
But no matter what, with such a group of players as the team, this Barcelona team is very, very good.
…
When Heynckes analyzed the enemy and ourselves, he believed that Bayern was definitely inferior to Barcelona in terms of ball control and technology.
There is no doubt about this.
Despite the addition of players such as Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure, Barcelona's players still have a very strong technical foundation, and their skillful passing of the ball is very sharp during counterattacks.
Often after the ball is intercepted, one or two passes can create a threat with the ball.
Bayern is still not as good as Barcelona in this regard.
Therefore, it is definitely not possible to fight to the death. Defense is Bayern's main tone.
The key question is, how to prevent it?
In the past, Su Dong always felt that blindly defending, especially shrinking defense, would not work when playing against a team like Barcelona. It would be too dangerous, especially with the presence of Messi, it would be even more terrifying.
Although Mourinho's Barcelona seems different from traditional Barcelona, it remains the same.

After Bayern made sufficient preparations in Munich, they arrived in Rome on a chartered flight at noon the day before the final.
At this time, the atmosphere of the finals in Rome was already quite intense.
The whole city was filled with the atmosphere of the Champions League final, and the streets and alleys were filled with fans of both teams.
When they saw Bayern's exclusive bus passing by, they all started chasing it.
Bayern fans will send warm cheers and encouragement to the team, while Barcelona fans will attack Bayern crazily, especially Su Dong. In the eyes of many extreme Barcelona fans, Su Dong is a traitor!
Of course, in the eyes of the vast majority of Barcelona fans, Su Dong's impression is not very good.
No one would have a good impression of a player who left the team and led another team to a bloodbath against his old club.
After the Bayern players arrived at the hotel, they took a short rest and held another meeting in the afternoon, mainly to prepare for tomorrow's Champions League final.
The referee of the final was from Busaca, Switzerland.
This 40-year-old referee is a rising star in European football and is known as one of the ten best referees in the world. He is proficient in five foreign languages and played football when he was young, so he
He is a referee who really understands football.
After arriving in Rome, Busacca revealed in an official interview with UEFA that he was studying the game videos of Bayern and Barcelona.
"A head referee must fully understand the playing styles and formations of the two teams he is officiating in the game, so that he can move better and enforce the law more accurately."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Regarding the duel between Bayern and Barcelona, Busacca said that it is his honor to officiate such a game.
"Busaka is a pretty good referee. He is young, has plenty of stamina, and is accurate in law enforcement. However, he is relatively inexperienced. But as a young referee, he is more willing to talk to players and listen to their opinions. At the same time, he is also very
Being willing to explain to the players why he made such a call is a characteristic of Busaca."
Bayern officials have made sufficient preparations for this, including the referee's enforcement characteristics and standards, etc.
"So, in the game, everyone can communicate with Busaka based on his characteristics, and one advantage is..."
When Heynckes said this, he paused, causing silence in the conference room. Everyone raised their heads in surprise and looked at the white-haired and red-faced old German man, wondering why he suddenly stopped?
"...Su, he is your fan!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, Su, your fans are helping us by coming to referee our Champions League final?"
"You might as well find an opportunity, sign his autograph, take a photo with him, and let him show off more of us in the finals."
"Can Barcelona agree with such a referee?"
The teammates burst into laughter, and Su Dong was also quite surprised.
He has many fans, but the referee, especially the referee who is qualified to officiate the Champions League final, should be the first one, right?
"He mentioned in several interviews that he was your fan. At that time, he probably didn't even think that he would be able to referee your Champions League final. However, he said that he fell in love with you when you were at Barcelona.
,so……"
If it hadn't been said before, then Su Dong definitely had reason to suspect that the referee was deliberately trying to find a balance between the two teams.
But in fact, it’s normal to think about it. Su Dong’s real rise was during his time at Barcelona.
…………

As the two teams arrive in Rome one after another, the Champions League final is about to begin.
More and more fans are pouring into the city of Rome, but at the same time, the attention of the media and fans around the world is also unprecedentedly high.
The three major gaming companies in the world have all offered various handicaps and odds, the most typical of which is who will win and the score.
Bayern defeated Barcelona with a slight advantage. It is not difficult to see that fans are still more optimistic about Bayern.
There are also some special odds for the Champions League final, such as who will be the first to score?
Among these odds, Su Dong has the lowest odds, only three. It can be seen that fans are still most optimistic about Su Dong and believe that he will open the scoring for Bayern in the game. This is also optimistic about Su Dong's past record.
Following Su Dong, Messi and Eto'o both reached seven, both falling significantly behind Su Dong.
Contrary to the goal, among the first players to get cards, Pique has the lowest odds, only nine, and Puyol only has ten. Because the two Barcelona central defenders faced Sudong directly, the fans obviously also
I think they will get cards for defending Su Dong in the game.
If these are relatively interesting betting projects, but they were relatively common in the past, then the most rare one is which continent's player will score first?
This is a betting project that was just developed this year, and what is interesting is that the odds of Asian players scoring first are actually lower than those in Europe, America and Africa.
Because Su Dong is Chinese!
In addition, there are other bets that are purely a joke, such as who will be sent to the stands between Heynckes and Mourinho?
Can Su Dong and Messi both play the full 90 minutes?
Will German Chancellor Merkel attend the game in person?
The most ridiculous thing is that Ladbrokes is so boring that it even offers a handicap to see who will kick off first in the Champions League final?
Is there any technical content to this?
Isn't it just a matter of guessing the coin thrown by the referee?
However, this has become the most popular betting item for many fans, especially Bayern fans, so more fans bet on Bayern, resulting in lower Bayern odds.
According to Ladbrokes, this is because Bayern fans know that Barcelona is good at controlling the ball, so they hope that the team can kick off from the beginning and then launch a wave of attacks to suppress Barcelona.
It can be said that the betting projects of many betting companies actually rely on the expectations of fans from both sides for the teams.
But the final outcome depends on the peak showdown between the two teams tomorrow night at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Su Dong and his teammates have already prepared for this final!
