Star Coach

Chapter 182 European Super Cup (Part 2)

(Second update, please subscribe.)

A figure appeared, Alan Smith, a player from Monaco, grinning. He had shit-yellow hair, and recently he also liked to deal with disobedient hair, so he tried a more middle school hairstyle. He hadn't used hairspray yet, so it looked like a bird's nest.

The hairstyle didn't hinder his performance. With his smart movement, he finally got a chance. Ribery took Valente away, Yaya Toure took the midfielder away, and he was left open.

"Look down on me." Smith shot excitedly, the ball was close to the ground, very fast, and he shot with his toes, easily.

Baya reacted, but when he dived, he was already one step too late, unable to stop the ball from entering the net, and slapped the ground in frustration.

Mourinho's face was like ice. In the 39th minute of the game, Porto's gate was lost, and he finally felt the power of Jiangshan. The offensive tactics were arranged above him, and the defensive tactics were also arranged above him. The pressure was huge, the gap was real, and the invisible pressure was overwhelming.

Porto has had 5 shots so far, all of which were long shots outside the penalty area, and none of them hit the target, which is very abnormal. In contrast, Monaco has only had 7 shots, and three of them have hit the target.

The third shot finally penetrated Porto's goal and took the lead.

Monaco fans were excited, they set off a heat wave and shouted like crazy. Facing the UEFA Cup champion, the team still has strong control, which is strength.

Jiangshan has transformed the team, and this season, we can really look forward to the French Ligue 1 championship.

It has to be said that Mourinho is also good at coaching the team. Porto lost the ball, but the formation did not mess up. Porto maintained the same offensive and defensive rhythm, gradually accelerated the counterattack, and under Deco's dispatch, the counterattack became stronger and stronger.

Deco passed the ball and tore through Monaco's defense. McCarthy turned and shot, threatening Roma. Roma was very focused and shot a little straight, saving the ball.

Outside the penalty area, Essien was blocked by Costinha and failed to grab the ball. Maniche immediately made a shot.

Anti-aircraft cannon.

Mourinho jumped on the sidelines. At this time, he passed the ball to Deco and asked him to kick a high ball, using Delray's height as a fulcrum. This is the best way.

Unfortunately, Porto's players have been a little breathless under the pressure of Monaco. Seeing the shooting opportunity, the first thought is of course to shoot and equalize the score early.

Monaco continued to attack, without a good opportunity, and the two sides fell into a midfield stranglehold again. The game was very ugly.

The fans were drowsy, and the pseudo fans could not feel the passion. They only saw the midfield making mistakes and making mistakes. The counterattack organization was not good. Although Monaco had the upper hand, loopholes in the back line began to appear, and there was also pressure.

Jiangshan secretly applauded Mourinho in his heart. He has demonstrated the ability of a top head coach, and he has a good grasp of the cutting of the court and the grasp of counterattacks. Coincidentally, these are also what Jiangshan is good at.

He has evolved and is exploring how to control the court with passing and cutting, allowing players to play more relaxed and giving ace players more room to play.

At the end of the first half, the score did not change, still 1:0, with the Champions League champion leading the UEFA Cup champion.

In the second half, Mourinho quickly made adjustments, replacing McCarthy with the young Alberto, and the lineup also changed to his more comfortable 433, but with slight changes.

Deco moved up and appeared behind the two forwards. The formation learned from Jiangshan allowed Deco to control the offense and release his abilities. The front three were Delle, Deco and Alberto.

The midfield three became Mendes, Costinha, and Maniche. Costinha swept horizontally to create space for Mendes and Maniche.

"Use my way?" Jiangshan looked at Mourinho's changes and couldn't help laughing, "Learn from me? You're still a step behind. I'll let you learn enough."

Although Jiangshan didn't make any substitutions, he pointed his arm and the players' lineup changed accordingly, no longer sticking to the 4312 position, and fighting in a mobile manner.

"Let's be more aggressive, I'll show you what is aggressive." Jiangshan was excited to meet his match. He immediately changed the offensive lineup.

This lineup is more aggressive. Mourinho, you have the guts to keep following.

Essien and Plasil partnered as midfielders, and Smith, Yaya Toure and Ribery became the front. On the forward line, only Drogba was left as the fulcrum.

The original 4312 formation now appears in the 4231 formation. Who dares to play?

Mourinho immediately cursed, "Jiangshan is so calculating, damn it, I just used his formation, I wanted to kill him, and he changed the formation immediately."

"Want to lure me to continue changing? Impossible, I won't be fooled." Mourinho glanced at the calm Jiangshan, and felt angry for no reason.

Mourinho's approach was exactly what Jiangshan wanted. Porto defended on three lines, while Monaco had more people in the offense, and the advantage was definitely greater.

Yaya Toure, Smith and Ribery kept interweaving, and the passing and cutting cooperation was more complicated. Not to mention Deco, Mendes and Scotinia were quickly confused, and there were loopholes in the defense.

Costinia swept a large area horizontally, but he couldn't stand the cooperation of Ribery and Yaya Toure. These two people had physical strength and skills, and one person couldn't defend them anyway.

Mourinho saw Jiangshan's arrangement, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, "Today's game is going to fail, I didn't expect Jiangshan to have a trick up his sleeve."

Yaya Toure has appeared in the defensive midfielder position before, mostly dispatching long passes, and is used as a defensive midfielder. He has not appeared in the attacking midfielder position. This is the first time he showed up today.

The Monaco players were not surprised at all. This was their usual training content. Yaya Toure's ability was gradually appreciated by the whole team. He also withstood the pressure and adapted well.

Jiangshan kept smiling, Yaya Toure and Franck Ribery jointly applied pressure, Smith's weird running route, crazy tearing apart Porto's defense, making it impossible to guard against.

boom!

Drogba got another chance while running and volleyed fiercely. He was in a happy mood and his shooting skills were also improving.

The ball hit the post hard, scraped the inside of the post and broke the net.

In the 70th minute, Monaco expanded the score to 2:0.

Jiang Shan still didn't have much expression, it seemed natural. Mourinho's face was ashen and he could squeeze out the ice. He didn't expect that the strength gap between the UEFA Cup champion and the Champions League champion was so big.

"This is a brand new team." Mourinho returned to his seat. "Jiangshan spent a summer building a brand new team. The way Monaco plays is completely different from last season. "

Faria also frowned, "Yes! It took Jiangshan almost ten games to shape the new Monaco. Over time, these people will be too scary."

"I failed today, no need to struggle anymore." Mourinho raised his hands in surrender.

But the game is still going on, and Monaco obviously doesn't want it to end yet. They are still attacking and practicing tactics. Essien excitedly intercepted Deco's pass and fired wide to his brother Yaya Toure.

Toure split the sides, Ribery carried Valente into the penalty area, and the choice of shooting or passing appeared again. Which one should I choose?
