Chapter 714 Bielsa’s bold use of players
Last season, under the strong pressure of Trapani, Mourinho gained nothing. When he first took office, he could still argue with Bielsa, but Bielsa did not like boring verbal battles. Later, Mourinho was embarrassed to argue in terms of results.
Now that the new season has arrived, Mourinho has become active again. Bielsa is awesome, but he does not have the Champions League, while I do.
At the press conference before the Super Cup, Mourinho began to seize this point and insinuated that Bielsa led a team with the strength of the Champions League champion but still could not win the Champions League.
"Who is the favorite for the Champions League in the new season? Trapani! Because they are very strong, they have been the leader in odds in recent years, especially in the past two years, they have bought a lot of champion players and have become even stronger! If they fail to win the championship this season, I will feel very strange!"
Mourinho's speaking level is high. People who love him can love his way of speaking, but people who don't like him also hate his way of speaking. He is obviously saying that Bielsa is not good, and he also puts pressure on Bielsa.
But he is destined to find the wrong opponent. Bielsa simply ignored him. At a press conference less than an hour apart, Bielsa raised Mr. Mourinho's argument to reporters. Bielsa just smiled and said nothing, but he was furious in his heart. Damn, what is the meaning of provoking me again and again? !
The Super Cup is indeed a battle of contradictions. Eto'o is in a peak state both physically and in form. In his early years, he played as one of the two strikers in Mallorca. The striker combination of him and Luke was the guarantee for Mallorca's good results in those years. Mallorca's success began when Cooper was in office. After he left Mallorca, Mallorca's subsequent head coaches Aragones, Klaus, and Pacheco mostly continued Cooper's previous style. Eto'o is fast, has strong individual combat capabilities, can pass and shoot, and as long as there is space, Mallorca's tactics are like a fish in water for him.
But Eto'o has a bad temper and is a big boss. He has unhappy with many head coaches and Guardiola. Barcelona had to sell him. Now he comes to Inter Milan. Mourinho's style is also the kind of coach who consolidates defense first. Now he is in a honeymoon period with Eto'o. Speaking of coming to Inter Milan, Eto'o naturally became a big boss. He will get more free space, and Mourinho also needs his style.
Ibrahimovic is good, but compared with Eto'o, he is slow and Mourinho's counterattack has not been fully demonstrated. With Eto'o, this set of tactics against strong teams may be very effective.
The Super Cup match is a test.
There were no big surprises in the game. Trapani's backcourt changed a little, but the framework of the midfield and frontcourt almost did not change, so it was easy to control the ball. Mourinho was also a little careful and insisted on his counterattack tactics against strong teams.
The coach's philosophy is very important. If the coach conveys the message to the players of the team, "Don't worry about moving forward, pay attention to your back and your defense!", and instills this for a long time, even the offensive players will be restrained when attacking. When the whole team encounters a strong opponent, the ball will be thrown away naturally. Imagine how it is possible to control the ball without forcing and pressing.
Inter Milan played with this tactic today, which was completely different from Bielsa's. Bielsa would tell the players to "go forward boldly, don't be afraid of the back!" Of course, they knew exactly what the defenders and the single defensive midfielder Mascherano should do.
Bielsa wanted to win the game, but he was also very bold. He actually used two newcomers among the three central defenders, Barzali in the middle, Boateng on the right, and Luiz on the left.
Facts have proved that his risky use of people must have a price to pay. Boateng's performance was relatively calm, but Luiz, a Brazilian, had good footwork and was also very good in training, but in this game, he made mistakes in the first 20 minutes, and after Eto'o realized this, he specifically looked for him and attacked him, and he really got it right. In more than 30 minutes, Inter Milan took the lead in counterattacks. Eto'o seized Luiz's reckless tackle and drove straight in, helping Inter Milan take the lead.
Barzali was so angry that he yelled at Luis after losing the ball. Luis shouldn't have kicked rashly, let alone fallen to the ground. It wasn't a problem for Eto'o to pass him. The most important thing was to hold him back. It would be completely different in just a few seconds!
Kameni stopped Barzali's anger, but he comforted the reckless Luis.
Moreover, Trapani successfully equalized the score in the first half. Messi and his team played a wonderful match in the frontcourt, and Suarez scored a goal with a push shot from the edge of the small penalty area.
Everyone thought that Luis, who performed poorly in the first half, would be replaced, but Bielsa didn't do so. He just felt that Luis was too young and lacked experience after all, and it was a blow to him to replace him during the halftime break.
Luis' performance in the second half could not be described as qualified, but at least there were no major mistakes. Trapani's frontcourt finally turned the advantage on the field into shots and goals, and finally reversed Inter Milan and won the first championship of the new season.
Mourinho had to be depressed again. They did much better in this game than last season, because the team's attitude was more resolute, and the midfield and backcourt were well coordinated. Trapani had more ball possession, but lacked Toni's height. They also rarely used crosses. Facing the dense defense, they did not shoot many times.
So Mourinho had every reason to say after the game: "Our defense was well organized, and we didn't give them too many opportunities today!"
Mourinho was more successful in this game in restricting Messi. In dealing with Messi, it was obvious that they spent a lot of effort, but they really couldn't restrict him. Fouls were just commonplace. The definition of success was just not to let Messi decide the game as easily as before, but Messi still contributed an assist today.
…
Back in Italy, Bielsa gave the team a two-day holiday. Since Trapani was at home in the first league game, although time was tight, the long journey and the summer training task were relatively heavy, Bielsa had to listen to the coaching staff's advice to take a holiday as a reward for the players to win the championship.
Hugo did not go to China with the team, but he watched the game. He was satisfied with the team's performance. He was not satisfied with Bielsa's carelessness. Boateng and Luis were too young. He had no objection to their promotion, but it was too arrogant to let them play in such a hurry.
He would not tell Bielsa these words, but would only complain in front of his family and Lu Fan. His family was not very interested in football. Lu Fan could control his mouth. Sometimes it was okay to complain in front of Victor. Victor was almost 30 years old and had a daughter. He was much more mature. Hugo knew that Victor might retire in the near future.
This guy had lost interest in playing football.
Victor had become a professional player from a small town in a remote area, a member of the national team, and won the World Cup and a treble. His career goals had been achieved. He was not the main choice under these head coaches. He also felt that his football career was boring and did not want to continue.
The reason he is still in the team is simply because he has not figured out what he will do in the future. He has no interest in business and his cultural level is low. He really doesn't know what else he can do besides playing football.
