Chapter 810 Very Important

"This guy, is he so imposing now? But it's no wonder that whoever wins the Champions Cup for four consecutive times will be as calm as he is."

After returning to his position, Mourinho muttered in his heart.

Although he didn't show any weakness just now, Mourinho could feel that his momentum in front of Ji Ya had indeed declined a little.

This is not something that can be controlled by one's fortitude or not. It's like someone who is used to a high position and weight naturally has a sense of oppression. Of course, Ji Ya's achievements will naturally have a feeling for other head coaches. suppress.

Thinking about Ji Ya's achievements, most of the head coaches will be a head shorter unconsciously.

Although a famous coach of Mourinho's level will not have such a psychological disadvantage, as long as Ji Ya's performance is considered, he will naturally feel pressure.

But the attention of the fans at the moment is on the court, and no one will notice that Mourinho is actually a little nervous at this time.

The starting lineups of the two sides have also come out-Manchester United's starting lineup has been adjusted, Mourinho has had a lot of rotations this season, but he still failed to find a particularly stable starting lineup, although Lukaku performed well this season, However, he was not so stable in the center position, which made him a headache for Mourinho as to how to use him.

So in this game, Lukaku didn't even play...

Goalkeeper de Gea, the two full-backs are Valencia and Ashley Young, centre-back Smalling is partnered with Jones, Bailly is on the bench, Lindelof is injured, Manchester United's central defenders are back On the old road, the midfielder is very stable. Matic, Herrera and Pogba have become Manchester United's stable starters, and the abilities of these three people are indeed quite good, and they cooperate well. The two wingers are Lingard And Sanchez, center Rashford.

"This lineup is interesting. Do you want to use dexterity to hit our defense line? This is a determined plan to defend and counterattack." Ji Ya sighed.

Southampton's starting lineup has only a small change, goalkeeper Gulacci, defender Cancelo, Maguire, De Ligt, Chilwell, midfielder De Bruyne, Phillips, Valverde, Greeley What, forwards Du Yue and Vardy.

After the game started, Southampton quickly launched an attack.

Using offense to suppress opponents is what Southampton is used to doing.

Manchester United, on the other hand, is based in the midfield, constantly interfering with Southampton's offense.

Ji Ya nodded slightly. This is also normal. Even if Manchester United is defending and counterattacking, they will not retreat to the penalty area to stick to it-no one does this anymore, and the current players generally have excellent long-range shooting ability. If you stick to it, you may be taught to be a man by Shibo in minutes.

Usually there are not so many world waves watching the game, because the players with the ball don't have so much time to adjust and prepare, and often someone comes up to interfere at the first time.

Therefore, the defense based on the midfield can make the defense better.

What's more, Manchester United's midfield itself is a relatively good link. Under such circumstances, it is naturally easier for them to show their strength.

Mourinho's tactics actually make people feel quite boring-it's not that the fans are boring, the fans who support the team, even if they think the game is not good-looking, but as long as they can win, they are still happy. In fact, the boring thing is Players, players are also human, and they don't want to fight every game. In other words, they need to have goals, know that they can win, start moving towards a certain goal, and fight until they succeed-this can be done. , However, if there is no goal, anyone will have a sense of slack if they work hard like this for many years.

This is human nature, and humans will never be able to work tirelessly like machines.

It’s like when he was coaching Inter Milan, the veterans of Inter Milan were willing to fight, because they were running out of time, and no one knew that they could still guarantee a good state for a few years. Crown King, of course they think it's worth it.

But if Mourinho continues to coach and let them fight like this one game at a time, then at most it will last another year, and everyone will get tired of it.

This is not just a problem of Mourinho alone. All head coaches with strict military management will encounter this problem.

When the German coach Magath was in charge of Bayern, he strictly managed the army at the beginning. He took the lead and led the team to run circles every day. The team was exhausted but did not dare to say anything. Quite good, but by the third season, everyone was tired of this way of playing, almost a collective rebellion, and let Magath get out of class...

Even if they are professional players, they can run 100% forever, which is their professionalism, and they can also run [-]% for a period of time, which is for the pursuit of honor.

But if the coach wants them to run [-]% forever, they can endure it for a year or two at most, and even the best-tempered players will rebel.

No one can violate human nature.

Ji Ya's leading the team is not to let the players fight every game, but through training and tactics, so that the players can win more victories relatively easily, and then fight in some important games. good grade.

But now Manchester United's players can still live with his dull tactics, because the results have indeed begun to stabilize.

In the face of Southampton's fierce attack, Manchester United began to defend constantly in the midfield, while protecting their penalty area.

However, Southampton's offense will not be affected too much because of the opponent's excellent defense.

Soon, Valverde broke through the wing and was brought down by Ashley Young. Southampton got a free kick from the wing. De Bruyne drove the free kick into the penalty area. De Gea, who attacked in time, would Ball confiscated.

Two minutes later, De Bruyne broke through the middle, and Pogba entangled him, but De Bruyne used continuous shaking to get rid of Pogba, and then passed the ball to Phillips who advanced forward, and Phillips was at the front of the penalty area He took a long shot and was blocked by Jones flying with his body.

"Manchester United's defense is still very solid." Benelli sighed.

"The team trained by Mourinho has always been like this. Don't worry, no matter how strong the shell is, it will always be shattered under constant blows." Ji Ya replied.

The players on the bench next to them were watching the field nervously. Originally, the FA Cup was not a particularly important game for them. All the previous games were played by the substitutes. Although they made it to the final, but It still proves that the FA Cup is not important in Southampton's plan.

But now that it's about the Triple Crown, it's very important.
