There is a dream called football

The drizzle in Porto was drizzling and it was a bit cold. Today the players started training in the cold rain.

jogging.

He started jogging, and Mourinho took the lead himself. He didn't say a word and just ran down. The players were also meticulous. After losing, no one must be in a good mood.

"Okay, let's fight in groups."

Mourinho has already analyzed the reasons for the loss. There are many reasons. On the one hand, it is experience, and on the other hand, there is indeed a gap in skills.

This is a gap in all aspects. If they want to make a comeback at home, Porto needs some luck and hard work.

Maniche broke down Baia's goal with a blast.

Maniche smiled and shook his head, "Why didn't I shoot such a blast in the last game?"

"What are you thinking about?" Li Qiao asked with a smile.

"Why, I was wondering why my shots are always more accurate during training."

"We are professional players, so of course we can shoot accurately without confrontation."

"That's true."

Mourinho has very high requirements for training details. If he is not satisfied with anything at all, he will call it quits.

"Stop." He walked towards Costinha, "Your position should be like this." Mourinho demonstrated it himself.

"Understood?"

"Um."

"And you." Mourinho pointed at McCarthy, "Don't always stay in the penalty area. The opponent is Italian, and marking people in the penalty area is their ancestral skill."

"Ha ha."

Mourinho didn't say much about Li Qiao. After all, Deco couldn't pass the ball. There was a lack of support here, and Li Qiao was alone on the wing.

Li Li kept looking at Mourinho, and he remembered that in his previous life, he had watched "World Football" conduct a comprehensive analysis of Dida.

The Brazilian goalkeeper is first-class in penalty kick saving and reaction, but he also has a weakness, that is, Dida is a landlubber.

He is particularly unaccustomed to wet venues, especially on rainy days, when the Brazilian often performs abnormally.

Although the analysis of World Football is somewhat exaggerated, this is still a way.

During a break in training, Li Qiao approached Mourinho and said, "Jose, there's something I want to tell you, but please don't treat me like a madman."

"Say." Mourinho looked into the distance and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Milan's goalkeeper is a landlubber, he is afraid of water."

"oh……"

"Um!?"

"What's the meaning?"

Li Qiao didn't know how to explain it, so he lied and said it was written in a newspaper he had read.

"Written in a Brazilian newspaper."

"You still read Brazilian newspapers?"

Li Qiao nodded.

Mourinho smiled and said: "But even if we know that Dida is a landlubber, it is useless. I can't make it rain during the game."

"But we can practice passing the ball more, and since this is our home court, we can water the lawn more."

"Water more?"

How effective is watering the lawn more? Hiddink, the Dutchman who led South Korea to create a World Cup miracle in 2002, later said that before the Korean team played, he would ask for water to be poured on the field for two hours.

You must know that a poor field will be more disadvantageous for the strong team, but the weak side will still be slightly better off.

Mourinho chuckled: "I understand what you mean. Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Let's just hold a concert at the Dragon Stadium."

"this……?"

Li Qiao immediately understood that after a concert, the conditions of the competition venue were very touching.

"Wouldn't UEFA then interfere?"

"We hold internal concerts to give back to the fans without selling tickets. Why should UEFA object?"

"That's true."

In this way, Li Qiao started, and Mourinho got inspiration. Anyway, it was a dead horse that was used as a living horse doctor, and he fought with Milan.

*****

In Pinto's office, the chubby Pinto was playing with his dog, and there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Jose, what do you want from me? Are you on the same page and ready to accept a new contract?"

After saying this, Pinto laughed, but Mourinho had no intention of laughing.

"Say it!"

“I want to know how much it would cost to replace a lawn?”

"Replace the turf at Dragons Stadium?"

"right."

"A few hundred thousand to a few hundred thousand euros, what's wrong?"

"Then do you think it's worth spending hundreds of thousands of euros to advance to the Champions League?"

The more Pinto listened, the more uncomfortable he became, "You want to bribe the referee?"

"Haha, I'm not that capable."

"That?"

Mourinho told the truth about his thoughts.

Pinto's first thought was that this was unreliable, because he had never heard of anyone winning by destroying the lawn.

"This must be unreliable."

"Why?"

"Because I've never heard of anyone winning a game by destroying the lawn."

"Haha, then you are ignorant. This is what the Koreans did in the 2002 World Cup."

Mourinho repeated what he heard from Li Qiao and added some fuel and jealousy. You must know that it was the Portuguese team that was hacked by the South Korean team in the group stage.

"That's it, shameless Koreans."

sweat.

Mourinho thought to himself, boss, you have missed the point, "How about it? I promise not to damage the stadium, but the lawn..."

"It's okay. You can change it later. It will be deducted from your salary."

…

"Hahaha, just kidding."

"Not funny," Mourinho thought.

"Go ahead and let me know if you need any help."

"good."

*****

After Mourinho arranged for a cross from the wing today, the training was left to Morais to control, and he went to find the boss himself.

The cross that Mourinho asked for was not a very fast one, but one that was floaty. Li Qiao said that that kind of erratic cross was what Dida was most afraid of.

Why is this?

Li Qiao didn't know, maybe it was a flaw from his youth training, or a psychological shadow left over from his childhood, but he remembered that a program done by World Football did conclude that Dida was particularly afraid of high passes from the wing.

However, there are actually quite a few such goalkeepers. Later, Bayern's Butt was also particularly afraid of this kind of high ball. Of course, there is no need to mention Seaman, who was not guarding the fans in England in 2002. Ronaldinho's high ball was so shocking to him.

Eight elements.

Li Qiao made a high and floating cross from the wing. Baiya's skills in picking up high balls were average, but he punched it out and did not pose much of a threat.

"Stop, try to pick the ball." Morais ordered.

Baiya was sweating in his heart, this was a bit overwhelming.

Decone took a curve ball with his instep. Baia tried to pick the ball, but it was difficult to pick the ball from such a high height.

Sure enough, he let go.

Mores was happy, because the training effect Mourinho wanted was like this. The expected effect was that Dida could let go, so that Porto's players could have the opportunity to pick up the slack.
