There is a dream called football

On January 30, it was tied 1-1 by Sporting Lisbon, and on February 15, it was tied 1-1 with Benfica in the El Clasico.

On February 21st, they were tied 0-0 by a weak team at home. They were 8 points ahead of Benfica in the standings, and now it has become 4 points. Even a fool can see what Mourinho is thinking.

All attention is already on the Champions League.

Lopez of "Record" criticized Mourinho for not paying attention to the league, which is a stupid approach.

Mourinho really has no time to deal with the media. He has to prepare for the first leg against Manchester United in midweek.

What is the difference between second-tier wealthy families and top-tier wealthy families?

In fact, it is not about strength and stars, but mentality. When they played AC Milan in the Super Cup last year, Mourinho obviously felt that the team was afraid of him, as if he was a dwarf. This is his mentality when facing a wealthy team.

So some people say that a wealthy family is not built in a day. This actually makes sense.

Mourinho arranged a very unusual formation on the tactical board, 4321, commonly known as the Christmas tree.

Assistant Morais next to him asked: "Do we really need to be so conservative?"

"The home court is very important and cannot be scored by the opponent. That is a precious away goal. 0-0 is completely acceptable."

The special home and away game system of the Champions League determines the coaches' strategy when arranging their troops. The home game focuses on defense, while the away game allows for a more relaxed approach.

To be honest, Moraes doesn't agree with this. He thinks 442 is more balanced, but Mourinho has already decided.

The midfielders are Costinha, Maniche and Pedro Mendes.

In front of them is Deco, and there are two forwards. One can retreat and press up, so 4321 can also be 4312.

Looking at his tactical board, Mourinho seemed very satisfied. The goal at home was not to concede a goal, and if he could score a goal, it would be a surprise.

He patted Morais and said, "This stage of Manchester United is comparable to the final, I have to be conservative."

*****

"Starting?" Faced with a reporter's question, Mourinho chuckled and said, "I don't think there will be any change. It will be similar to the league."

Mourinho wants to put up a smoke bomb, but I wonder if Ferguson will fall for it.

"Can you be more specific?" a reporter asked.

Mourinho shook his head and said, "I will give the starting lineup according to UEFA regulations, but not now."

"What do you think is the advantage of playing Manchester United?"

"We are at home, which is our advantage. We are the UEFA Cup champions, and Manchester United has not won a European trophy for a long time. This is also our advantage."

"..."

Mourinho went on and on about seven or eight of his strengths, which made the reporter who asked the question a bit embarrassed.

"What about the disadvantages?"

Mourinho laughed, "Disadvantage? The opponent is Manchester United. Isn't this enough for us?"

At the end of the press conference, the reporters were all disenchanted. It was obvious that they had not gotten what they really wanted.

*****

Sosa's house.

The uncle is particularly excited today. The last time he was so excited was when Lorinda was born.

The reason why he was excited was because his players were going to play in the Champions League with Manchester United. At the dinner table, Li Qiao had already felt his uncle's hot eyes, but...

Forget it, take the initiative to confess.

"Uncle Sosa, I won't start the game the day after tomorrow."

…

…

Sosa's whole body changed from Kumamon to a ghost doll, and his face looked so ugly and ugly.

"What's going on? Jose doesn't like you?"

Lorinda interrupted: "Dad, even an amateur fan like me knows this. This is called rotation, and it's normal."

"Nonsense, Joe is the main force, and others are the rotation."

"Uncle, this is an internal secret. I can tell you, but you must not tell others."

Sosa nodded his chubby head, "I promise."

"In the game against Manchester United, our goal is not to concede a goal, so Jose will send three midfielders in the midfield, and the formation will also change, so I did not start."

Sosa nodded, "That means if you fall behind, Jose will still send you?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sosa realized that he was wrong, so he immediately changed his words: "Haha, of course I don't want the team to fall behind."

Sosa was a little disappointed. Although he understood it, it was like something he had been looking forward to for a long time suddenly came to nothing.

Lorinda saw her father's disappointment, so she poured him a glass of wine, "Have a drink, old man."

"hehe."

Manchester United is coming.

At this time, Manchester United is worthy of the statement of the world's giants, both in terms of results and the club's reputation.

For Porto people, it is rare to get a glimpse of Manchester United, so many people gathered at the airport.

Giggs politely signed autographs for fans, as did Scholes. Ruud Ruud was a little shy and passed by quickly without stopping too much.

The reporter wanted to interview Ferguson, but what was unexpected was that Sir Alex pushed Keane to everyone, and then patted him, as if to say, leave it to you.

Keen shrugged, "Ask me if you have anything."

"What are United's goals away from home?"

"Scoring more goals, of course."

"How many, for example?"

"Haha, if I say three, you will definitely think of me as an idiot. Well, I want to say one is a must."

"Can you restrain Deco?"

"I can limit anyone because I am Keane and no one in the Premier League is afraid of me."

"What are Manchester United's goals for this season?"

"Whatever the goal was in 1999, that will be the goal this year."

As we all know, 1999 was the year of the Triple Crown. It is self-evident what Keane means. This guy is indeed arrogant.

When Ferguson leads the team, logistics is a priority. After a brief rest, it is time to go to training. Ferguson personally made the tactical arrangements. This is very important. He wants the players to understand what they have to do on the court.

If the coach's arrangements are not clear, it is not the fault of the players. If the tactics are clear and the players do not implement them, then Ferguson will definitely be furious.

The reason why Manchester United was so strong during the Ferguson era was inseparable from Sir Alex Ferguson's vigorous and resolute behavior. No one dared to say no to anything he said, not even the bad boy Keane.

This game is very important. Sir Alex also wanted stability. He did not let the young Ronaldo start, but planned to use the South African Fortune.

When it comes to critical moments, most head coaches are similar and tend to trust veterans rather than young people.

What he was most worried about was the goalkeeper position, so he called Howard, an American, over for a face-to-face discussion. He repeatedly told him a few things: Don't play with fire, just keep guarding the goal honestly, and don't use your feet if you can hold the ball with your hands.

After saying these words, Howard was a little suspicious of his life. This seemed to be the tone of his coach on his first day of playing football.
