I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 667: Atypical Barcelona

Mourinho is an atypical Barcelona coach.

Why do you say that?

Throughout the past few years, all Barcelona coaches have basically had a very obvious brand. Whether they are from the direct line or the Dutch coaches like Van Gaal and Rijkaard, they all have the same or similar genes as Barcelona.

But Mourinho is not, his coaching style and Barcelona can even be said to be completely opposite.

It is not difficult to see from his coaching of Porto and Chelsea that Mourinho doesn't pay much attention to possession at all.

Emphasizing integrity and defense, this is Mourinho's coaching characteristics, but Barcelona's emphasis on possession is offense.

This is why, at the beginning of Mourinho's coaching, almost all traditional Barcelona people, including Cruyff, disagreed with him very much, thinking that Mourinho would be difficult to succeed in Barcelona.

But the result is a bit surprising.

Mourinho did not play Barcelona's traditional football. Compared with Rijkaard's time, his possession rate has dropped significantly. However, Mourinho's team succeeded!

Both La Liga and Copa del Rey have won!

Even if you 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 counterattacked everyone with his results.

Of course, the controversy still exists. Cruyff and many Barcelona people still don’t recognize Mourinho’s football, and there are similar controversies even in the Barcelona locker room. But it is undeniable that Mourinho’s performance in Barcelona The coaching is considered a firm foothold, and Roselle and Bartomeu also stand firmly on his side.

This makes Mourinho handsome.

Looking at Barcelona under Mourinho's leadership, it can not be said that they have completely lost the characteristics of Barcelona, ​​but relatively weakened a lot.

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 in the Spanish national team.

But around the two men, Mourinho often inserts Du Keita and Yaya Touré, often adopts a four-four-two formation instead of Barcelona's traditional four-three-three, and will also emphasize in the midfield. Defense.

Once the ball is lost, Barcelona will madly invest in pressing and pressing.

This is very similar to that in the first century derby in Barcelona that year when Su Dong blew Real Madrid 5-0.

On the offensive end, Eto'o and Messi are Mourinho's most important objects, but he has always wanted to introduce high center Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan to partner with these two players. Make up a fantasy trident.

From Mourinho's formation and the meaning he expressed, he still hopes to inject his own football concept on the basis of Barcelona's traditional football concept, so that the two can be integrated.

It is precisely because of these that Barcelona under Mourinho presents a very strange and even very contradictory situation.

The ball possession time has been reduced, but the defense has been firm, and the kicking is very stable. More importantly, the offensive method is mainly counterattack. The force of the midfield and frontcourt is very strong. As long as the ball is intercepted, the counterattack will be immediately thrown into the counterattack.

This looks very different from Barcelona, ​​but it seems very Barcelona.

In the face of such a team, not to mention that Su Dong can't understand it, and Heynckes can't see it. It is estimated that even Barcelona's own people, such as Cruyff and others, may not understand it.

Probably, even Mourinho doesn't know what happened to Barcelona, ​​which he trained himself.

But in any case, with such a group of players as the team, the strength of this Barcelona is very, very good.

When Heynckes analyzed the enemy and us, he believed that Bayern must be inferior to Barcelona in terms of possession and technology.

There is no doubt about this.

Although there are more players such as Cedou Keita and Yaya Toure, Barcelona's players are still very technically skilled, and the skillful kick pass is very sharp in the counterattack.

Often after being intercepted, one or two passes can create a threat to the ball.

Bayern is still inferior to Barcelona in this regard.

Therefore, it is definitely not enough to die, and defense is the main tone of Bayern.

The key question is, how to prevent it?

In the past, Su Dong has always felt that playing a team like Barcelona, ​​blindly defensive, especially shrinking defensive, is too dangerous, it is too dangerous, especially the existence of Messi, it is even more terrifying.

Although Mourinho's Barcelona seems to be different from the traditional Barcelona, ​​but it is always the same.

...

...

After Bayern had done enough preparations in Munich, at noon the day before the final, a chartered flight arrived in Rome.

At this time, the atmosphere of the final in Rome is already quite strong.

The whole city is full of the atmosphere of the Champions League final, and the streets and lanes are filled with fans of both teams.

When they saw the Bayern exclusive bus passing by, they all chased them.

Bayern fans will cheer and encourage the team, while Barcelona fans are frantically attacking Bayern, especially Su Dong. In the eyes of many extreme Barcelona fans, Su Dong is a traitor!

Of course, in the eyes of most Barcelona fans, Su Dong's impression will not be too good.

No one will have a good impression of a player who led another team to bloodbath his old club after leaving the team.

After the Bayern players arrived at the hotel, they took a break and held another meeting in the afternoon, mainly to prepare for tomorrow's Champions League final.

The referee of the final came from Busaca of Switzerland.

This forty-year-old referee is currently a rising star in European football. He is known as one of the top ten best referees in the world. He is proficient in five foreign languages ​​and played football when he was young. Be regarded as the referee who really understands football.

After arriving in Rome, Busaka revealed in an official UEFA interview that he was studying the video of the Bayern and Barcelona match.

"A referee must fully understand the play style and formation of the two teams that he enforces the game, so that he can move better and enforce the law more accurately."

For this matchup between Bayern and Barcelona, ​​Busaka said that it is his honor to enforce such a game.

"Busaka is a very good referee, young, full of energy, and accurate in law enforcement. He has relatively little experience. However, 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 good. I am willing to explain to the players why I made such a penalty, which is a characteristic of Busaka."

Bayern officials have done enough preparations for this, including the characteristics and standards of the referee's law enforcement and so on.

"So, in the game, everyone can communicate with Busaka based on his characteristics, and one advantage is..."

When Heynckes said this, he paused, leaving the conference room silent. Everyone raised their heads in surprise and looked at the white-haired and red-faced German old man, wondering why he stopped suddenly?

"...Sue, he is your fan!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"Wow, Sue, your fans come to enforce our Champions League final. Is this helping us?"

"You just look for a chance, sign him, take a photo, let him put more water on us in the final."

"Can Barcelona identify 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 one who is qualified to enforce the Champions League final, should be the first one?

"He mentioned in several interviews that he was your fan. At that time, he did not expect to be able to enforce your Champions League final. However, he said that he liked you during your stay in Barcelona ,and so…"

If it is not what he said before, then Su Dong absolutely has reason to suspect that the referee is deliberately trying to find a balance between the two teams.

But in fact, it is normal to think about it. The real rise of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was during the Barcelona period.

...

...

With the two teams arriving in Rome one after another, the Champions League final is about to start.

More and more fans are pouring into the city of Rome, but at the same time, the attention of the media and fans all over the world is also unprecedentedly high.

The three major betting companies in the world have all opened various handicap and odds. The most typical one is who will win and the score.

Bayern is a weak advantage over Barcelona, ​​it is not difficult to see that the fans are still more optimistic about Bayern.

There are also some markets specially opened for the Champions League final. For example, who will be the first goal scorer?

In this odds, Su Dong is the lowest, only three. It can be seen that fans are still the most optimistic about Su Dong, thinking that he will set the record for Bayern in the game. This is also an optimistic view of Su Dong's past record.

Following Su Dong, Messi and Eto'o both reached seven, and both fell behind Su Dong by a large margin.

In contrast to scoring, among the first players to win the card, Pique has the lowest odds, with only nine, and Puyol with only ten. Because the two Barcelona central defenders are directly facing Su and Dong, the fans are obviously too. It is believed that they will win the card for defending Su Dong in the game.

If these are more interesting betting items, but they were more common in the past, then which continent is the most rare player who will score the first goal?

This is a betting item that has just been developed this year, and what is interesting is that Asian players have even lower odds for the first goal than Europe, America and Africa.

Because Su Dong is Chinese!

In addition, there are other bets that are purely spoofs, such as Heynckes and Mourinho who will be penalized in the stands?

Can Su Dong and Messi both play for 90 minutes?

Will German Chancellor Merkel come to watch the battle in person?

The most nonsensical thing is that Ladbrokes is so boring to open a handicap to see who will kick-off in the Champions League final?

Does this have any technical content?

Isn't it just guessing the coin thrown by the referee?

But unfortunately, this has become the most popular betting item for many fans. Bayern fans especially like it, so more fans are betting on Bayern, resulting in lower odds for Bayern.

According to Ladbrokes, this is because Bayern fans know that Barcelona are good at holding the ball, so they hope that the team can kick off the ball from the beginning, and then a wave of steals to suppress Barcelona.

It can be said that the betting items of many bookmakers are actually pinning the expectations of the fans on both sides of the team.

But the final outcome depends on the two teams' peak match-up at the Olympic Stadium in Rome tomorrow night.

Su Dong and his teammates are already ready for this final!
