All-around center

The game continues, and Mourinho and the coaching team are recording it carefully.

They have little interest in scoring goals.

It doesn’t matter if you win or not.

The purpose of this warm-up match is to run in and exercise!

There will be some small changes this season, and small changes will lead to big changes. As a head coach like Mourinho who is obsessed with details, he naturally pays more attention to the issue of running-in.

Among the players currently on the court, he has only inspected two people.

One is Casemiro.

The other is Khedira!

Casemiro is Mourinho's main player. As a defensive midfielder, Casemiro's defensive position, defensive linkage, and running enthusiasm all need to be examined.

The position of midfielder, or defensive midfielder!

Mourinho believes that this position should be 'sacrificed'.

They don't get much applause and can't attract attention. At the same time, they run the longest distance and do the most tiring work!

When the opponent attacks, he needs to defend well!

When his own team is attacking, he also needs to remain vigilant and even pay attention to filling positions at all times.

In a stalemate, he also needs to use frequent physical confrontation to hold up the opponent's offense.

This was Casemiro's first warm-up match. His overall performance wasn't too good, but it wasn't bad either.

With Srna's reminder, Casemiro will not lose his position.

But his response in assisting defense and filling in positions was a little worse.

This is still the reason why I haven’t figured out the tactics yet.

Mourinho's tactical requirement is that even without thinking, as the formation changes, the body needs to be the first to react.

Modern football is getting faster and faster!

This is no longer the era of looking up for observation, following up on restrictions, and then defending.

At this moment, the opponent has already advanced the ball to the goal gate.

Especially in the strong dialogue, a simple 2-3 touches of the ball may have completed the shooting action.

Therefore, actions need to be as simple as possible.

Reactions also need to be instinctive.

And all of this requires familiarity with tactics day after day to achieve it.

"Casemiro still can't let go and is very nervous. He doesn't dare to move his steps and expand the defensive range. Moreover, when the opponent receives the ball, his movements are a bit slow, as if he is hesitating!"

Faria looked at the court and said: "However, his running is very active and he is very decisive in chasing back."

"To make up for it after making a mistake is not a good defensive player!" Mourinho said lightly.

An excellent defensive player, he will not give the opponent a chance to threaten him.

"Let's take another look. These are all issues of experience and mentality. It will be fine if he plays a few more games and lets go!" Faria said.

Mourinho also nodded, and then he looked at Khedira.

Faria's voice came immediately.

"Kedira's performance... Hmm."

No need for Falia to say anything, Mourinho can understand it.

very confused!

In fact, many times, he would not take the initiative to retreat, but would huddle behind the opponent's midfielder, waiting for Kaka to pass him a penetrating ball.

Mourinho understands that Khedira has come to an unfamiliar position and is not used to playing.

But he won't adjust for that either.

If this puzzle doesn't work, it'll be replaced with a different one!

Of course, Mourinho is not completely unkind, he will still give Khedira some opportunities.

If Khedira can adjust his condition, even if Suker wants to support Cross, he will have no reason.

Therefore, if he wants to stay in Real Madrid, Khedira can only fight for it himself.

On the other side, Ancelotti is also looking towards the court.

The pressure seems to be too much!

He really wants to find a strong team to test his strength.

But Real Madrid's pressure was too intense.

Real Madrid didn't play like this in the past!

There won't be such a radical attack!

Ancelotti looked towards Real Madrid's half.

"Is it because of Kaka?"

Ancelotti's sense of smell is still very keen.

Several restraint methods flashed through his mind, but they were of no use!

"The difference in lineup strength is a bit big!" Ancelotti frowned.

To limit Kaká, in addition to the forwards retreating, the midfielder also needs to improve his position.

Even pressing from a high position!

But in this way, Suk will be free!

"Forget it, it's a warm-up match anyway, winning or losing doesn't matter!"

Just when he thought of this, Su Ke received a pass from Kaka and turned around with a pull.

He almost turned around right next to Maxwell, and during this process he also physically suppressed the latter. When Suker turned around and started, Maxwell couldn't keep up at all.

The next step is simple.

Suker swept the pass in front of the goal, and Benzema got ahead of everyone and scored with a push shot.

14 minutes, Real Madrid 2:0 Paris Saint-Germain.

The warm-up match went well.

It went well against Real Madrid, of course.

They found the right opponent, the pressure was not too big, not too little, just enough for them to run in.

But it is indeed a big blow to Paris Saint-Germain.

I thought that after this strengthening of the lineup, they would not be able to compete, but they could still play well.

But it turned out that they were overthinking it.

Their overall lineup structure is not as good as Real Madrid's, and there is also a big gap in the ability of the players in the team.

This also caused Paris Saint-Germain to play very hard.

"Cool!"

Casemiro looked excited.

After taking a two-goal lead, he let go a little bit.

Stimulated by scoring goals and taking the lead, his mentality gradually stabilized.

With his mentality stabilized, Casemiro felt suddenly enlightened.

He began to play more proactively and at the same time expanded his defensive coverage.

With his excellent physical fitness and stealing ability, he constantly interferes with the opponent's offense.

But the most exciting defensive performance in this game was Ramos.

Under a through ball from Verratti, Ibrahimovic formed a single shot.

Everyone thought Ramos would not foul.

But Ramos used his body to take the lead and clear the ball.

You know, Ramos is the last defensive player. Passing Ramos is equivalent to a single shot.

But Ibrahimovic failed to seize the opportunity.

The first half is over.

Both sides did not take much rest and directly made large-scale substitutions.

After all, it is a warm-up match, and everyone will more or less get a chance to play.

However, Real Madrid had already withdrawn most of its main players in the second half.

However, the defensive midfielder combination of Casemiro and Kaka was retained, and Cross was also brought on as a substitute to form a new midfield combination.

The second half was more stalemate.

Although he is playing as a substitute, he is still a substitute for Real Madrid after all. He does not have the same game dominance as the main team, but he is still strong enough.

The two sides played hard, and the final score in the second half was Real Madrid 1:2 Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 3:2.

At the end of the warm-up match, Mourinho was not going to stay any longer, but went back for a summary meeting.

As he said, there are many problems and they need to be solved one by one.

Before Suker left, he winked at Ancelotti, stretched out his thumb and little finger and shook them by his ear, making a phone call.

Ancelotti nodded slightly.

In the conference room of the Paris Hotel, a group of Real Madrid players gathered.

Mourinho opened his notebook and said: "Let's start with the offense."

"Ruined!"

Pepe grinned and complained softly.

Mourinho opened his notebook and summarized it by category. This means that the summary meeting will be very long and will not end in a while.

Mourinho spoke in front. At first, everyone could still hear it, but as time went by, it became like a lullaby that made people sleepy.

Suk also tilted his head and yawned.

Suddenly, an angry voice sounded:

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my shot selection!”

At the sudden sound, everyone trembled.

They turned and looked over.

I saw that Casillas and Mourinho were fighting again.

"Are you right?" Mourinho said angrily; "Be as simple as possible in front of the goal, and the safe choice is to just open the door!"

"Why open your big kick? I can obviously pass the ball to the ground!"

"Ibrahimovic rushed in front of you at that time!"

"He didn't get it!"

"What if? You are a hidden danger!"

“But it’s also an opportunity!”

Mourinho said angrily: "I don't care if he has a chance, but I need to ensure the current safety!"

"In front of the door! Open your feet!"

Mourinho is on the verge of breaking out.

Casillas also stared, looking angry.

Eventually, Faria stepped in to lighten the mood and dismissed the players.

However, Mourinho and Casillas did not leave, they seemed to want to continue arguing.

Suk stood up immediately, he didn't want to get involved.

"Suke!"

Faria grabbed Suk's wrist.

Suk smiled bitterly; "I don't want to get involved!"

Faria was helpless; "I know, but no one here except you can persuade them! You don't want to see them fighting here and then being pulled to the police station, right?"

Ha~~~~~

Suk couldn't help but sigh.

How capable you are of taking on great things.

All these abilities of mine are used to break up fights!

Suk walked back with Faria.

The two of them still remained the same as before.

Casillas sat on a chair, crossed his legs and stared at Mourinho.

Mourinho stood opposite, arms folded across his chest, glaring at Casillas as well.

Faria pulled up a few chairs and the four of them sat together. Then he coughed dryly and said;

"I think we need to have a conversation."

Casillas: "I asked for dialogue but he didn't listen!"

Mourinho; "That's because your concept is wrong!"

Casillas; "Then what is correct? Is your idea correct?"

Mourinho; "I am the head coach! I have the right to do this!"

boom!

Casillas stamped his feet angrily. He looked at Suker and pointed at Mourinho and said, "That's what I fucking hate about him!"

Seeing the two people getting more and more noisy, Faria could only ask for help from Su Ke.

Suk also looked at the two of them and sighed; "You two! Our farce should be over."

They all turned to look at Suk.

What's the meaning?

Su Ke: "First: I don't want to care about the conflicts between you, and I don't want to get involved. I know what you think, but please don't affect the club!"

"Second: Please pay attention and control your emotions. You are the head coach and captain. You really shouldn't quarrel in front of the players. This is not conducive to our unity!"

Casillas was about to speak, Suk raised his hand to interrupt:

"Listen to me first!"

"Today's matter, I think the coach is right!"

Casillas frowned, and Mourinho on the side relaxed his brows.

"This is only from a tactical point of view. In dangerous moments, the goalkeeper must kick the ball. Once an accident occurs, there is a danger of losing the ball."

"Also, do we have to rely on Ramos and Pepe to dribble? We are not a team that plays passing and controlling."

Suk said seriously; "Igor, your idea is a bit extreme!"

Casillas' mentality is definitely wrong.

Casillas used to not play like this.

He is very conservative. Unless it is very safe or absolutely sure, he will not pass like this.

But now, Casillas is a little unbalanced.

Especially after Mourinho mentioned this issue to him last time, this guy was like a rebellious teenager. Whatever Mourinho told him not to do, he would do it anyway.

This quarrel was originally Casillas's unreasonable trouble.

After Suker finished speaking, Faria on the side coughed dryly and turned to Mourinho and said; "Jose, you have a problem too!"

"We are coaches, we do have the right to ask the players to do something, but at the same time we are a team! Respect is mutual, we respect them, and they will respect us!"

"Today's quarrel, Igor is right, we ignore the feedback of the players too much, which is not a good thing!"

Faria feels that Mourinho has changed a little.

This is no longer Mourinho in the Porto period.

At that time, Mourinho was full of passion, and they created a miraculous season together.

After coming to Chelsea and Inter Milan, they are also striving for excellence.

At that time, every day was fulfilling and happy.

Their goals are the same!

They are full of fighting spirit!

But since entering Real Madrid, this so-called giant, everything has changed.

The passionate Mourinho lost himself in the power struggle in the locker room, and he no longer has such pure enthusiasm.

The previous Mourinho simply pursued victory, and he liked the feeling of victory!

But now Mourinho is striving for the exchange of interests behind victory.

Suk and Faria finally eased the conflict this time.

However, they are also a little scared!

Once the two really have a fierce conflict, or even fight, it will be really bad.

The fire escape of the hotel.

Faria lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Suk stood a little further away. He doesn't smoke, and he doesn't like to breathe second-hand smoke.

Faria smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry! I don't smoke much, but I still want to smoke one now, otherwise my head will be very messy!"

Suk nodded; "I can understand!"

Faria puffed on the cigarette, and the red fire flickered in the corridor.

Faria's eyes also looked at Suk from time to time.

"Can I ask you a question?" Faria suddenly said.

Suk: "What question?"

"What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"You should know what I am asking, and you should also understand the current situation of the club!"

Suk glanced at Faria: "I have expressed my position, I will not get involved, and you should not drag me into the water!"

Faria sighed; "But if you continue like this, the locker room will be in chaos!"

Suk pursed his lips, how could he not know!

But there is no way!

Let Casillas bow his head?

This is impossible!

This guy is also very stubborn!

Get rid of Mourinho?

At least it can't be done now, it's not the right time.

Moreover, when Mourinho came, Suk had already thought about this problem.

But Mourinho's arrival is still very necessary.

At least, he transformed Real Madrid's defense line, and also introduced many players such as Bale and Casillas to Real Madrid.

In the original time and space, Real Madrid during Mourinho's period was not so glorious!

But the glory of Real Madrid in the later period was all based on Mourinho's unique vision of looking at people, the introduction of players and the results of systematic transformation.

Suk doesn't need Mourinho!

But he needs Mourinho's systematic transformation!

Therefore, even though he knew it would be like this, he still agreed.

The pain is temporary!

But the glory will last for a long time!

Just get through it.

Seeing Suk not speaking for a long time, Faria also knew that Suk didn't want to say more about these things, and he said helplessly; "You go back, I'll smoke another one!"

Suk nodded; "Smoke less, it's not good for your health!"

Faria nodded, and from his frowning brows, it can be seen that he didn't listen at all.

But Suk didn't care and went straight back to the room.

Creak!

Suk pushed the door open!

Suddenly, ears came over one by one!

"What happened?"

"Did they fight?"

"What did you talk about?"

"Did they really fight?"

"Who won?"

"Mourinho should not be able to beat Igor?"

"It's hard to say!"

Looking at this group of gossiping guys, Suk was furious.

"Hurry up and go to sleep. We have to go to Germany for the second warm-up match tomorrow. You are so idle!"

After Suk drove the players away, he lay on the bed and exhaled slowly.

Kaka on the side slowly put down the Bible.

"Did they really fight?"

Suk turned his head and looked at Kaka with a faint look.

Kaka slowly raised the Bible again and covered his face.

But Suk still heard two barely audible words.

"Stingy!"

The next day, the entire Real Madrid team flew to Germany again.

The conflict last night seemed to be non-existent. Everyone acted very relaxed, but if you look closely, you can see that behind this relaxation, those eyes are constantly sending signals and looking at each other.

Mourinho sat in the front row of the team, and Casillas was at the back.

After yesterday's conversation, the two of them broke up completely!

Su Ke couldn't help but complain!

It was a waste of all the words he said!
