Chapter 1019 We have no choice

"Klopp is a stupid hero!"

In the coach's office of Real Madrid's Valde Bebas training base, Mourinho pushed the video of Paris Saint-Germain's second leg against Dortmund, which he just got yesterday, to his assistants.

At this moment, he has no image at all.

His face was covered with stubble, white and messy hair, and his eyes were covered with bloodshots left by staying up late. If it weren't for his sharp eyes that were still projected with a familiar madman's spirit, it would have easily made people mistakenly think that he was a sloppy middle-aged man.

And if his comment on Klopp is known by the media and fans, it will definitely cause an uproar again.

But in fact, he has no discrimination or irony.

Hero, this is his praise to Klopp, but stupidity just means that he never agrees with Klopp's approach, just as he never agreed with Ferguson's death to Barcelona in the Champions League final.

Among his values, the most important thing for the head coach is to win.

No matter in any way, even if you do everything, as long as you can win, it is justice.

Rui Faria has worked with Mourinho since Barcelona and has followed Mourinho through the entire coaching career. He naturally understands Mourinho's meaning, but he cares more about other things.

"How many times did you stay up late last night watching the video?"

Mourinho shook his head, "Forget it, I've watched it over and over again anyway, after watching the second round, I'll go to watch the first round again."

When he said this, Mourinho sat on the chair and rubbed Meishan hard.

It has been a long time since he had a good sleep. Bayern Munich, who was worried about Heinx, and now Paris Saint-Germain is the tall and cold. Since the beginning of this season, he has never been worried for a moment.

Real Madrid's performance this season is not ideal, and there are differences between the coaching staff and the players and the management. The most important thing is that many players do not agree with Mourinho's approach, which creates a gap or even antagonism between them, and the management undoubtedly stands on the side of the players.

Everyone knows that get out of class has become an inevitable option.

But Mourinho and his team don't have to worry about not having a place to go. With Mourinho's status and influence in today's football world, he is more popular than ever.

However, before the get out of class is over, Mourinho hopes to give his coaching experience a more perfect end to his Real Madrid coaching experience, which is to lead the team as far as possible in the Champions League.

What's more, what we have to face next is Mourinho's old enemy, Gao Han, so he has no reason not to fight to the death.

"From these two rounds of games, Klopp lost without any fault, and he was completely defeated."

Mourinho talked about these two rounds of games and began to become energetic again.

"In fact, he could have played better, but the start of the first round was very puzzled. Away game, playing high-pressure and pressing against Paris Saint-Germain was definitely a way to seek death. After losing two goals in a row, Dortmund began to retreat. During that period, the Hornets' defense was well caught."

"Nemar, Suarez, Aubameyang, plus a midfielder Di Maria..."

Mourinho's face was a little dim when he mentioned this Argentine player.

Di Maria played more as a substitute in his last season at Real Madrid, which is also the reason why the Argentinians are dissatisfied with their own situation. Later, under the seduction of Paris Saint-Germain, Gao Han personally lobbled. In addition, Real Madrid made the decision to sell Di Maria in order to control the balance of the team's salary structure.

But unexpectedly, after Di Maria switched to Paris Saint-Germain, she immediately shone in the midfield and played very well, which was the best season in her career.

This transfer was talked about by the media and fans, and was regarded as a brilliant move in Gao Han's coaching career, but also as a slap on Mourinho in the face, which made Mourinho feel a little embarrassed every time he mentioned Di Maria.

"To put it simply, shrinking the defense and maintaining two tight lines of defense in front of the opponent's players holding the ball is the most effective way to restrain Paris Saint-Germain, but Klopp took the initiative to attack and gave the opponent room to penetrate, which is not advisable."

Klopp's approach is to adhere to Dortmund's playing style over the years, but in Mourinho's values, he believes that this is a stupid persistence and is not worthy of promotion.

"Our defense is worse than Dortmund, but on the offensive end, we are not as good as Paris Saint-Germain, so in these two rounds of the semi-finals, we only have to fight back against the defensively, or even fight back against the dead."

After hearing Mourinho's words, assistant coach Kalanca raised his hand gently and asked worriedly: "But in the first round of the game, we are the first to the Bernabeu, and we are the first to the home, so this is probably..."

The whole world knows that Real Madrid fans are the most picky in the world. They not only need to win, but also win beautifully and excitingly. It is best to win in the most gorgeous and beautiful way in the world. This is also one of the most dissatisfied with Mourinho now.

Mourinho reached out to interrupt Kalanca's words with a domineering attitude, "I am the team's head coach. I know very clearly what is the most beneficial to the team. When facing Gao Han, if you want to have a glimmer of hope, you have to listen to me. Three midfielders and guard them strictly. Even after 180 minutes of the game, including overtime, it is zero to zero, which is the best result."

At the end, Mourinho was almost shouting in a lesson tone, as if in his opinion, the penalty shootout was more likely to win than the regular game, so he would rather drag the game into the penalty shootout.

Kalanka knew this was the truth.

In the past few years, how many famous coaches and teams in European football have been eager to defeat Gao Han, but did they do it in the end?

Even Barcelona at its peak ended up falling under Gao Han’s feet in shame, not to mention Real Madrid now.

Playing against the attack, no one in this world can play the colder.

Since the attack is not good, you have to go to another extreme and defend it to the death.

This is what Mourinho is best at.

After several years of training, Real Madrid has now left a deep mark of Mourinho. He would lose to Gao Han Manchester City back then, but it may not be possible now.

"I support Jose's opinion." Rui Fariya also raised her hand and made a statement.

"The most important thing about confronting Gao Han is not how to defeat the opponent, but how to ensure that you are not defeated by the opponent. Defending to the death is the one we are most sure and most beneficial to us at present. As for the fans of the Bernabeu..."

Mourinho waved his hand again, "What do they like to think? That's their business. I am the team's head coach. As long as I can hold on in the game, I don't mind being off the get out of class on the spot after the game. Even if I'm drowned by their saliva, I don't care."

Faria, Kalanka and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly helplessly.

This is somewhat involuntary.

In fact, as long as you can hold on to the game, even if you have a zero-to-zero draw, Mourinho will never be dismissed.

Because he will be the first head coach in professional football to tie Gao Han in the past decade, which will bring Mourinho to the altar.

"However, there is one thing I think we have to be careful," Rui Falia reminded cautiously.

Under Mourinho's inquiring gaze, the assistant coach pronounced a familiar name, "Drogba."

Everyone's faces immediately became solemn.

Drogba is no longer as brave as he was back then, which is indisputable. Everyone knows that he no longer has the dominance that rages the Premier League, but he is a monster after all, even if he is old, he will be a more shrewd monster.

Gao Han’s usage of Drogba is very interesting. It is basically a rotation or substitute. He won’t play too much time, but Drogba has performed quite well every time, and his goals this season have also reached double digits, so I have to guard against it.

Everyone knows that Gao Han often replaces Drogba to break the deadlock on the court when his opponents are intensively defending.

After hearing Rui Faria's words, everyone present also looked solemn, including Mourinho.

As head coaches, they all know that it is definitely not easy for Gao Han to lead the team to this day. One move is simply impossible to gain a foothold. Gao Han will always do two or even three-handed preparations. Drogba is the surprise soldier in Gao Han's hands.

When to use it and how to use it, it will be enough to make your opponent frustrated.

Facing Paris Saint-Germain, Drogba will be like a sword of Damocles in Gao Han's hand, hanging above Real Madrid's head. After a day of decline, they all have to play with fear.

In this case, it is no longer necessary to defend against Paris Saint-Germain's most sharp offensive combination in Europe.

Even if Real Madrid defended Heinx's Bayern Munich, Mourinho is not sure now.

"You're right, Rui." Mourinho looked at Rui Faria gratefully.

This right-hand assistant is always able to support and remind him when he needs it.

More importantly, after working together for many years, he knows Mourinho better than anyone else and is able to fully implement Mourinho's request, which allows Mourinho to prepare for the game without distraction.

"But we have no choice anymore." Mourinho said with a dark face.

The inferior side is always more passive than the opponent and always has fewer choices, which is inevitable.

Gao Han and his Paris Saint-Germain are better than Real Madrid in terms of technical and tactical play and overall strength. They naturally have more active choices, while Real Madrid can only respond passively and counterattack with each move.

Everyone present also knew this clearly and nodded together.

Sometimes, not having a choice may not be a good thing. At least there is a clear direction that can concentrate all the energy and resources of the team together and exert force in the same direction.

"In the next two weeks, we must prepare carefully to deal with this game at the Bernabeu in two weeks."

Mourinho began to arrange the team's next stage plan.

Real Madrid is currently in good condition in the league, and it is widespread with Chinatown, but it cannot catch up with the two Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in front. The third position is stable.

The situation in Chinatown is not bad. After being eliminated from the Champions League, he can concentrate on dealing with the league and widen the gap with teams such as Valencia, Malaga and Sevilla, which are five or sixth, but it is still difficult to catch up with Real Madrid, which is third.

This will be a good thing for Mourinho, at least the team can concentrate on preparing for the game in two weeks.

"I want to give Gao Han a big gift at the Bernabeu!" Mourinho said gritting his teeth.
