Star Coach

(First update)

At the Louis II Stadium, fans entered the venue early. They used to watch other people's Super Cups. This year is different. Their own team participates and brings the aura of home court.

Jiang Shan and Mourinho, two handsome coaches in football, instantly attracted all the spotlight.

Jiang Shan took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand, "Hello, Jose, congratulations on winning the UEFA Cup. We may meet in the Champions League this year."

"If we must meet in the Champions League, I hope it will be the final." Mourinho was very eloquent and hit the nail on the head. "Just like today, the final venue will always be exciting."

"Definitely, the fans are blessed today."

"I will beat you." Mourinho raised his head, unruly, his madman character has taken shape.

Mourinho played away from home and was not conservative. He arranged the strongest lineup, a starting lineup of 442, with a balance of offense and defense. Like 433, it is Mourinho's usual lineup.

Goalkeeper Baia, who wears No. 99, reacts quickly, but occasionally short-circuits, limiting his upper limit.

On the back line, Paulo Ferreira, Jorge Costa, Ricardo Carvalho and Nuno Valente play together. This is Mourinho's most trusted defense lineup. Ferreira fights fiercely, Cavalu has been the main player of the national team for a long time, and Valente is the diamond unearthed by Mourinho.

The midfield four is Costinha, Mendes, Maniche and Brazilian magician Deco, and the double forwards are Delle and McCarthy.

Young Alberto was sitting on the bench. He was Porto's starting striker in the Champions League final and scored the opening goal.

Faria looked at Jiangshan's starting lineup and said, "Coach, it's different from what we guessed before. Jiangshan has indeed changed its formation. Yaya Toure brought it up, probably to restrict Deco. He likes to restrict Deco very much in the game." each other’s creativity.”

"It doesn't matter, the country is difficult to deal with. We should have thought of it a long time ago." Mourinho said with a smile, "If Deco is so easy to restrict, he is not a magician."

Deco was born in Brazil and has dual Brazilian and Portuguese residences. Under the persuasion of Portuguese coach Scolari, he joined the Portuguese national team. He was ostracized at first, but he soon conquered Figo and other teammates with his extraordinary ability.

In his previous career, he won the Champions League in 2004, reached the 2004 European Cup final with the team, and reached the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup, a super Deco.

Monaco set up a 4312 formation, and sure enough there were changes, which were unpredictable.

There is no major personnel adjustment in the defense, with Roma and Evra, Givet, Rodriguez and Ibarra; the midfield trio, Essien, Prasil and Ribery, is both offensive and defensive.

In the front midfielder position, Yaya Toure supports independently and is in a happy mood. He likes this position and he likes to move forward. On the forward line, Drogba and Smith partnered. The aging Morientes did not play and sat on the bench waiting for opportunities.

There are also Cisse and Belletti on the bench, both waiting for opportunities. They are also eager to appear in the European Super Cup.

Although the European Super Cup is a warm-up match, it is also a trophy, and its popularity is getting higher and higher. It is a good training ground.

Mourinho stared at Jiangshan, "Put Yaya Toure in the attacking midfielder position. He is really bold. The key games are still adjusting the lineup. I will kill you and let you feel that stability is the most important thing."

Beep!

Porto took the lead in attacking. Deco received the ball and started to organize. Yaya Toure ignored him and retreated slightly to organize the defense.

Mourinho looked at the situation on the field and felt a little strange. Jiangshan didn't arrange any players to defend Deco? Are you so confident about the team's defense?

Deco passed the ball to Machini who was running upfield. Before Machini started, he was surrounded by Essien and Ribery. He was unable to send the ball out and was easily intercepted.

Ribery ran wildly with the ball and was very fast. Distinha swept through the midfield. Facing Ribery, he had the confidence to steal the ball. Unfortunately, Ribery passed the ball before he could react.

Yaya Toure advanced from the frontcourt, started, and started the tank. Facing Mendes and Carvalho, he was more fighting spirit, dribbling, passing, and cunning moves.

The ball flew out from the toes and landed in the frontcourt. Drogba came cruising over, kicked off his feet suddenly, and shot violently.

It was just a little short of missing the post.

Mourinho suddenly became nervous, "No, Yaya Toure is their core organizer. Yaya Toure's impact can bring about changes in the situation on the field. Today's game is indeed difficult to play."

He rushed to the sidelines, directed the team to rearrange their defense, and conducted various drills before the game. At this time, he released it to show his coaching ability.

Mendes moved up and harassed Yaya Toure's dribbling, making sure he couldn't get up to speed. Then Machini retreated to mark Smith's running. The guy's running route was weird and difficult to defend.

"Cut off their passing lanes." Mourinho commanded loudly.

Destructive football appeared, and Monaco's midfield and frontcourt organization began to be hindered. Of course, Porto's frontcourt players, under the care of Essien and Prasil, were left with only sporadic counterattacks.

The midfield stranglehold started from the first minute.

"What do you think of Mourinho?" Jiang Shan asked Guardiola next to him. When Guardiola was at Barcelona, ​​Mourinho was Coach Robson’s translator. “It’s very good. He has a very strong learning ability. Today’s game was not easy to play. Our passing and cutting cooperation is not yet perfect. It’s hard to deal with a devastating interception.”

Jiangshan smiled in his heart. If I hadn't appeared, he would be your biggest opponent in the future. You can relax now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

The attack was sluggish, and Jiangshan also walked to the sidelines to instruct the players. Ribery moved up to almost parallel with Yaya Toure, adding a ball holding point.

Essien increased the horizontal sweep area. If he grows a little more, Essien can sweep the backcourt alone. Now is not the time.

Ibarra gave the ball to Yaya Toure's feet as soon as possible. Yaya rarely stuck to the ball. He followed Jiangshan's tactics at this time and quickly passed the ball to Ribery.

Ribery broke through the wing. Facing Valente, he also didn't force it. He returned to the middle and passed it to Yaya Toure. Between the two passes, the ball had already advanced to the frontcourt.

Facing Costinha's entanglement, Yaya Toure picked the ball to the wing, and Evra was here.

There was an open area on the wing, and Evra calmly held the ball and entered the penalty area.

When the chance to shoot appeared, Ferreira rushed back. Evra was quick-witted and passed the ball horizontally to the middle. Drogba leaned on the defender, and the monster held off two central defenders, Carvalho and Costa.

Costa was old and it was difficult for him to defend the monster. Carvalho was also a little less cunning. The monster roared, and the penalty area was his world. He was very strong.

But he did not choose to shoot. In a flash, the monster stepped over the football and missed. It was a fake pass, but it was a real leak.

The ball slipped under his crotch, and a figure appeared.

"Not good!" Mourinho yelled on the sidelines.
