Chapter 23 Mourinho's Mind
When Mourinho's words were revealed by the media, European football was in an ups and outraged. Mourinho became the public enemy of Switzerland for a while, and all Swiss football practitioners were attacking Mourinho for not respecting his opponents. Even Morinini, the head coach of St. Garren, temporarily put aside his feud with Lin Fenglei and said that Mourinho's words were very unrestraint and inappropriate.
When a reporter told Lin Fenglei what Mourinho said, Lin Fenglei laughed and said, "Really? Mr. Mourinho doesn't know about the Gosau team? Then he is too ignorant. I feel sad for him. Is he from Mars? Opinions? I don't have any opinion. I'm usually not used to what to say before the game, and I also say something after the game. After playing with them, Mr. Mourinho should know the Gosau team.
In fact, Lin Fenglei knew that this was Mourinho's usual psychological warfare tactic. He sneered in his heart. It's best for you to send it to your door. This kind of words just adds some motivation to my players. Sure enough, when he threw a pile of newspapers with Mourinho's remarks in front of the players, the group of guys suddenly blew up and rubbed their hands to teach Mourinho a lesson.
Lin Fenglei waited for them to vent for a while, then raised his hand to stop them, and then said solemnly, "Of course we have to teach Mourinho a lesson, but you have to calm down first. Looking at you like this, you are so noisy that you don't look like a big star. I can guarantee that no one will know you if you take a picture of your current appearance and send it to the newspaper. Don't be impulsive when you are a little stimulated. At that time, you will be taught a lesson instead of others. Then you will lose your excellency. At that time, Mourinho will definitely be more arrogant. Can you stand it?
The players shouted angrily one by one, "I can't stand it!"
Lin Fenglei nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can't stand it. Then you can calm down and train well. Use all your strength when you play against Inter Milan. Only when you play well with them can I have the confidence to fight with Mourinho."
This time, the players did not roar anymore, but nodded firmly and then ran to the training ground and began to train hard.
On March 24, in the 26th round of the league, Gosho ushered in the challenge of the youth team at home. In this game, Lin Fenglei sent Chekaleri as the starting goalkeeper. He was very excited and performed very well. In the end, with Egman's two goals and one of the injured Kodinho, who came out. Goal, Gosho beat the youth team 3:1. And Egman's consecutive goal record also continued to the 18th game.
On March 27, in a World Cup European qualifier match between Switzerland and Italy at home, Egman started and scored a goal, helping the Swiss team defeat Italy by 2:1. The Swiss team also ranked first in the group by a large margin, and there is great hope to reach the World Cup.
On March 30, Gosau challenged Zurich away from home. Now Zurich ranks second in the table, with a 16 point difference from Gosau, so they attach great importance to this game and want to win Gosau to narrow the point gap between the two sides. Although they also have a UEFA Europa League game in the middle of the week, because their game is in the week. Fourth, so they basically sent all the main players, and Gosho's match against Inter Milan was on Tuesday, so Lin Fenglei sent half of the substitutes, and Chekareli started for the second consecutive game. As a result, the two teams drew 3-3. Topinski, Egman and Kauddinjo each scored one goal. Egman scored 19 consecutive goals for Gosho, while Chekareli's performance in this game was average.
In the lineup in Zurich, Lin Fenglei noticed that in addition to Lewandowski, their starting striker also had a young Spanish striker named Melendez, who was quite skilled and scored a goal in this game. Lin Fenglei looked at his information and found that he was 22 years old. His potential was quite high, 170, and now his ability was 140. He bought it from the Athletic Bilbao team in La Liga for 5 million euros during the winter break in Zurich. He couldn't help nodding secretly. Now the investment of the Swiss Super League team has really increased. I bought someone from La Liga. Although Melendez is not valued in Bilbao, it is also a great thing.
After a draw with Zurich, the Gosau immediately flew to Milan, Italy, to prepare for the away game against Inter Milan in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Due to Mourinho's remarks after the draw, the game was also hyped up. As soon as the Gosho team arrived in Milan, a large number of reporters surrounded the coaches and players of the Gosho team to interview their views on Mourinho's remarks, but all the members of the Gosho team politely but firmly refused the interview request. He Let's talk about it after the game. As soon as the hotel was arranged, they devoted themselves to the training.
Mourinho is now a little puzzled. Of course, he won't know who the Gosho team is. In that case, he doesn't deserve to be an excellent head coach. Saying that is just his usual psychological battle. However, according to his concern about the situation of the Goshao team, the whole Goshao team is very calm, and it seems that they haven't heard his words at all. According to his estimation, the Goshao team should be furious from the head coach Lin Fenglei to the players. After all, what he said is very mean. This group of energetic. Big men shouldn't hold back their anger.
In fact, allowing Mourinho to use psychological tactics has shown that the Gosho team is his important opponent. Just kidding, can Mourinho ignore this opponent? Last season's Triple Crown, this season, did not fall behind last season's Champions League champion Bayern Munich in the Super Cup. Even if it weren't for the referee's favor, they should have won their first European Super Cup. In this season's Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 was bought by them without a bad temper. It was eliminated, and Barcelona could only be second behind them and was forced to fight with Bayern Munich in advance. Will such a famous coach like Mourinho be despised?
In fact, on the night of the draw, Mourinho watched a large number of videos of the game of the Gosau team. The more he watched, the more he was shocked. The team has excellent players in almost all positions, and the depth of the bench is also very good, especially Egman, Avazzini, Antunović and other people, in their respective The position can be said to be world-class, and Egman gives him a sense of powerlessness. What kind of defender does such a perverted and comprehensive center need to defend him? Thinking of this, he began to be glad. Fortunately, he bought Zancanaro this season. This excellent central defender is not inferior to Egman in height and weight, and his defensive skills are also top. The most important thing is that he is also from the Gosho team. He should know Egman very well. And Avanzini was absent from the international team due to injury in this game. Lan is also good news. Although Avanzini doesn't look as eye-catching as Egman, Mourinho can see from the video that he is no less important to Gosho, because he is the starting point of most of Gosho's attacks, and he is also the spiritual leader of Gosho's field.
After watching the game video of Gosau, Mourinho finally found the weakness of Gosau, that is, their main goalkeeper Rett is not a top goalkeeper. Although his ability is not good, it is still a little like playing the Champions League. Not enough, especially his lack of air defense, and the character of little communication with the guard line often makes Gosho's defense line not tacit. In addition, Gosho's central defender Chevali and left-back Ribeiro are not very experienced, and Ribeiro's defensive ability is not very strong compared with his offensive ability. Also, Gosho's Brazilian front midfielder Lima is a hot-tempered player. At that time, he will let the experienced old midfielder Cambiaso try to anger him, and there will be some unexpected gains. Thinking of this, Mourinho's eyes slowly lit up.
