Chapter 179: Mourinho's Solution

The game against Inter Milan is coming soon. m()

Neither Lazio nor Inter Milan sent a rotation lineup for this game. Obviously Chang Sheng and Mourinho thought of going together.

The Coppa Italia must be contested!

This was a very tasteless game, but because Chang Sheng and Mourinho met, it became a favorite.

If it weren't for the two of them being brought together, maybe this season's Coppa Italia is just an ordinary Coppa Italia.

But it is precisely because there are two crazy coaches who refuse to accept the other and who are unwilling to lose to the other, that the tasteless Italian Cup becomes interesting and attracts people's attention.

I have to say that this semi-final draw is quite a mystery...

Chang Sheng doesn't care about the lottery, anyway, whoever is in front of him is the same, they all lose!

The media thought they wanted to fight for the Coppa Italia because they thought Mourinho was standing in front of them.

But in fact, even without Mourinho, winning this season will still compete for the Coppa Italia.

He likes the feeling of winning.

Moreover, the Coppa Italia schedule is very scattered, and it doesn't take much energy.

The first leg of the semi-finals will be played in early February. In the second round, it was pushed to April 13th.

The final is on May 6th, which is far away.

And to win the championship, there are only three more games.

In these three games, Chang Sheng can still hold on.

※※※

Because the two sides are very familiar with each other, there was no temptation at all after the game started, and the two teams directly collided fiercely.

Mourinho still sent the lineup against Lazio in the last game in the midfield.

The three defensive midfielders work as engineers in the midfield with one purpose-to disrupt Lazio's offensive rhythm.

The main reason is that Lazio's offense cannot be played smoothly.

In this way, Lazio's threat to Inter Milan will be much smaller.

Changsheng's response was very different from the previous game: Modric retreated to the midfielder position, and the two original midfielders moved forward to the central midfielder to protect Modric. David Silva and Gotze dropped back to become free men, not wingers. The two full-backs actively inserted assists.

There is no difference between these and the previous game, the difference is...the two defensive midfielders are in the front position. Their task in this game is not only to protect Modric, but also to launch a counterattack after direct steals in the frontcourt. Task.

Without going through anyone else, they launched a counterattack on their own and completed a deadly pass.

This requires relatively high organizational offensive ability of the midfielder.

But Chang Sheng believed that Ledesma could do it.

Meireles will be worse. After all, he has only been in the team for less than a season, and he is still adapting to the mad dog tactics. .Unlike his other teammates, they have basically polished the winning tactical system for two to three seasons.

※※※

In this game, because both sides know very well what tactics the opponent will adopt, the competition is actually mainly about the performance of the players.

Anyway, everyone's tactics are public, how I will fight, how you will fight, you all know.

Those who should be restrained have also been restrained, and then it is time for the players to show their strength, such as why stars are called stars, why some players are worth tens of millions, and some players are only worth two or three million.

It is impossible for the head coach to cover everything. It is impossible for them to think of all the details, design all the routines, and then let the game strictly follow their own designed routines.

Then it's not a competition, you can't even play a game like this. When playing games, there are bound to be goals saved by the opponent's goalkeeper with his fingertips, and he collapsed at the last moment with a three-goal lead...

Not to mention that it is not a realistic football controlled by a joystick and mouse.

After the game started, Chang Sheng sat on the coach's seat, while Mourinho got up and walked to the sidelines, looking at the stadium.

The performance of the two head coaches is different, which may also explain some problems.

In the record against Mourinho, Changsheng has an overall advantage.

Lazio also performed well against Inter Milan.

This allows Chang Sheng to be a little easier when facing Mourinho's Inter Milan.

And Mourinho looked dignified.

He is under a lot of pressure.

If he can't break Lazio's monopoly on the championship, what will Moratti spend so much money on him?

※※※

Mourinho did not choose to attack in this game. Although both Eto'o and Milito are on the court, their main task is to defend.

Cup competitions are not the same as league matches.

In the league, if you tie a game, it is a tie, just one point.

In cup competitions, there is no point, the result is the result.

Even if it's a tie, the winner has to be decided.

The semi-finals are played in two rounds, home and away.

If the two games are tied, it will be overtime, and if the overtime is still tied, it will be a penalty shootout.

What Mourinho played was the attention of this penalty shootout.

First try to draw with Lazio at home, and then go to the away game to continue to draw with Lazio in the second round.

The score was 0:0 in 120 minutes, and the total score was also 0:0. The two sides entered a penalty shootout.

This is the strategy Mourinho came up with for Changsheng.

If the penalty shootout is a relatively fair way to decide the winner, then Lazio's passing and running advantages will be gone.

All that remains is to compete in psychological quality and shooting skills.

This Mourinho is confident.

And the ever-victorious Lazio once played a penalty shootout, which was the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 26-27 season. They ended up losing to Bayern Munich on penalties.

The team coached by Chang Sheng lost that one penalty shootout, with a 0% winning percentage.

Although this does not mean with certainty that the victorious teams are not good at penalty shootouts, it can at least show that their performance in penalty shootouts is not as good as they did in regular time, that is an opportunity.

Even if there is only a 10% chance, it is worth Mourinho's 100% effort to fight for it.

After repeated research, Mourinho believes that in order to defeat Lazio, the only strategy is to stick to it.

Park the bus in front of your door and let your opponents do nothing.

When their passes are always being destroyed, when their shots are blocked, when they can't find a direction to attack at all...their mentality starts to go out of balance.

Mourinho believes that Lazio has been going smoothly for too long. They are always winning. They have not lost a game in the league so far this season, and only lost one game in all games.

In the long run, every player on this team will definitely regard victory as a habit.

They probably never thought about what they would do when they encountered a problem they couldn't solve.

At that time, when they do meet, maybe they will start to feel restless and overwhelmed.

When the player's mentality is out of balance, the head coach's meticulous arrangements are useless!

This is Mourinho's strategy.

He doesn't compete with Chang Sheng for tactics, he competes with Chang Sheng for the player's mentality!

stick to it!

Keep this game down, and then go to the next game to defend! Hold until victory!

※※※

Mourinho's tactics were quite successful.

When Inter Milan, who put on a defensive posture, really parked the bus in front of the goal, Lazio had nothing to do.

Throughout the first half, Lazio shot eighteen goals, but failed to score a single goal!

Inter Milan successfully defended the score of 0:0.

At the end of the first half, although the Inter Milan players were a little tired, they were still in good spirits.

Even better than the half-time margin of the last time the two sides played against each other.

Because Muntari and Sissoko were even chatting while walking off the court, talking and talking, they didn't know what happy things they talked about, and the two laughed.

You must know that they ended the first half in the lead that time...

And now it's a draw.

The performance of the Inter Milan players aroused speculation from the commentator.

"I really don't know what the Inter Milan players are so happy about... now they are at home, they haven't scored a goal, they just drew with Lazio. And Lazio completely dominated the scene! In the first half Lazio had Eighteen shots! With such a terrifying statistic, the players of Inter Milan can still laugh when they leave the field!"

Careza frowned.

And what surprised him was that Mourinho didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all, and the expression on his face was calm. Seeing Muntari and Sissoko talking and laughing happily, they didn't get angry.

That's... weird.

※※※

Of course Careza would be surprised.

He didn't know that during the halftime break, Mourinho vigorously praised the performance of the whole team.

"Well done! Gentlemen! You have done very well! In the first half they had eighteen shots and none of them! I could even see the faces of the Lazio players at the end of the first half. An anxious expression. Gentlemen, we are one game and forty-five minutes away from success! Keep at it, and we can beat them!"

※※※

And Chang Sheng also encouraged his players in the locker room.

"Obviously our opponents are delusional about drawing us and then taking the two-legged final to penalties. That's the only way they can beat us - hope and luck. But it's ridiculous, guys. They mustn't know How we usually train and they don't know how well planned we are. I think this game is a great opportunity. A chance to tell everyone who thinks like Inter Milan how stupid it is... ..."

"We used Hurricanes in the second half and every one of you got to be an active part of the offense. Use what we do best to break their bodies and their beliefs! Tell them they'll be even better when they come back to our home court in the second leg. There is no chance!"

Chang Sheng said murderously.

How could he be intimidated by Mourinho's tactics?

Because he happened to have prepared such a corresponding plan.

Codenamed Hurricane.

It means that no matter what obstacles you encounter, they will be pushed over like a hurricane and crushed directly!

Can't hold on?

Then I'll uproot you!

※※※

PS, last day!

Ten more!

Although there are thousands of people, I will go!

In addition to fighting to the end, there is no other idea!
