Chapter 1115 Mourinho's Intentions

Although the outside world is generally not optimistic about Liverpool, the Liverpool players themselves are quite optimistic.They showed this confidence in training.

This kind of self-confidence is really strong, so that they didn't show the slightest panic even when they were near each other's lair.

Where does this powerful self-confidence come from?

It has to be traced back to their away game against Newcastle United.

It was that reversal lore that filled Liverpool's players with fighting spirit and strength.

Martin O'Neill naturally knew this, and he had to make full use of it, and make good use of it.

In the past two days, he ordered his assistant to go out and search for newspapers related to the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid.It doesn't matter if you don't understand Spanish, there is always someone who understands, find someone to translate and see what is written.

Then find out the reports that slander and belittle Liverpool, and make newspaper clippings.

On the final day before the game, he showed it to the Liverpool players in a tactical meeting.

"This is what the local media in Madrid think of our game in the past few days." O'Neill shook the newspapers on his hands.

"Can you guess what it says?" he asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and Chen Yingxiong raised his arms. After getting O'Neill's permission, he stood up and said, "What's the point of guessing, boss. The above must be scolding us. For example, we must win. If you don’t make it to Real Madrid, you’ll definitely be eliminated… You guys say this kind of thing, right?”

Chen Yingxiong turned to ask his teammates, and everyone nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

O'Neill smiled: "You guessed right, hero. The enemy has nothing good to say about us. "Aspen" said that Real Madrid will beat us at home without any effort!" He said holding up the Aspen newspaper.

Then he changed another newspaper: "And this, the "Marca" newspaper thinks that Real Madrid is already thinking about their opponents in the semi-finals."

He put down the Marca newspaper, held up another newspaper and said: "Here, good news for you, hero. It says you may try hard to score a goal in the game, but it still won't change Liverpool. The fate of being eliminated..."

Chen Yingxiong pouted.

"Look, hero, in their eyes, your threat is limited to scoring a goal!" Suarez, who was sitting next to him, touched Chen Yingxiong and teased.

Chen Yingxiong secretly gave him a middle finger.

Martin O'Neill continued above: "Obviously, no one is looking for us. This is the enemy's home ground, they haven't lost at the Bernabeu for two years, and what we have to do is such a difficult thing. .but I have faith in you and I'm sure you have faith in this!"

"Confidence MAX!" Chen Yingxiong raised his right fist and shouted loudly.

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was relaxed, but everyone's eyes were shining with the same light as Chen Yingxiong.

Their ideas are the same as Chen Yingxiong, but they didn't directly shout out their ideas like Chen Yingxiong.

O'Neal nodded. "I know you're full, hero. You're almost overflowing."

Everyone laughed again, this time it was purely to tease Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong didn't care about the boss' jokes either.

After the laughter subsided, Martin O'Neill continued: "So, let us give them a surprise in tomorrow's game. Everyone, think about it, if we beat them at the Bernabeu tomorrow, those who have so vowed that we will be defeated The expressions on the faces of those who are eliminated must be so wonderful!"

Mourinho stood in front of the home team coach's bench at the Bernabeu Stadium. At this time, the Bernabeu Stadium was still 28 hours away from the start of the game.

The stadium was empty.He is here because he is the coach of Real Madrid.

He stood in front of the home team coach's bench and looked left and right.

Tomorrow here, there will be a bad fight.

Mourinho has a different opinion from those reporters. He doesn't think Liverpool will be easy to deal with.Chen Yingxiong certainly needs attention, but he is not the only one who needs attention.

The whole of Liverpool is dangerous.

Before this crucial game, he suddenly appeared on this stadium, why is that.

Mourinho began to walk towards the stadium, he strolled on the Bernabeu turf, feeling the solidity of his feet.

He also touched the turf with his body and found that the turf was relatively short.

He nodded in satisfaction.

This is all continued pruning according to his requirements.

Short grass and hard ground, such a field lacks elasticity, but it will allow the football to roll fast on it, rebound higher when it touches the bottom, and rush forward faster.These characteristics are in line with Real Madrid's tactical style.

Real Madrid football is fast, very fast.If the turf is too soft, the players will feel unable to exert force on it, and it will also affect the rolling speed of the football.Some passes that can easily penetrate the opponent's defense on short turf will be more resisted and slowed down on long turf.

This turf is indeed the most suitable for Real Madrid to play.

But he also knows that Liverpool's football also pays attention to speed, especially the two wings, and it is very fast to really fight back.

Liverpool's football tradition is to attach importance to defense and counterattack.When defending, you must be solid, and when you counterattack, you must be sharp enough.

How about Liverpool's defense, let's not talk about it, their counterattack is indeed quite sharp so far.

Because there is a hero Chen in the middle, Liverpool's wingers can play to their fullest without any restrictions.

But Mourinho is not afraid of this. If he is faster, his Real Madrid has the confidence to beat any opponent.

But Mourinho didn't come here today to inspect the turf situation on the pitch.

After he checked the turf, he stood up and looked at the empty Bernabéu stadium.

If he can lead the team to beat Liverpool tomorrow and reach the semi-finals, his goal is to go on, reach the final and win the championship.

After he becomes the first head coach to lead the team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League restructuring, he plans to end his cycle in Real Madrid.Although there are still two years before the contract expires.

But Mourinho feels he has no goals here.He defeated Barcelona, ​​forcing Guardiola to take a rest for a year and come out again, and he still leads Real Madrid to press Guardiola's Barcelona.

He also became the first head coach to lead the team to defend the title since the restructuring of the Champions League.

Can he make any breakthroughs at Real Madrid?

Mourinho felt that it was time for him to change his place and start over.

He has always had one thought in his heart, that is to return to the Premier League.

At Chelsea he led the team to the Premier League title, but he failed to lead Chelsea to the Champions League.

He feels that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and only success in the Premier League can be considered a real success.

But he hasn't told anyone about this idea, except that his agent Mendes knows-he must also know first, otherwise how can he help Mourinho contact the team?
Standing in this stadium today, Mourinho is saying goodbye to his Real Madrid years.

He hopes to use a triple crown to draw a successful end to his years in Real Madrid, just like he did in Inter Milan, using a triple crown to firmly nail himself in the hearts of Inter Milan fans.

He hopes to replicate all this at Real Madrid.

After he wants to leave Real Madrid for several years, the fans here still talk about him from time to time.

Therefore, this game, he must win!
Mourinho stood in the empty stadium with his head held high, as if the "Song of Jose Mourinho" from the Real Madrid fans sounded in his ears.

"Ooooh! Mourinho - Mourinho! Mourinho! Mourinho Mourinho Mourinho!!"

Phil Gibbs, Tom Jackson, and Adam Smith, the three carried a big red flag and walked on the streets of Madrid. They followed other Liverpool fans to the Bernabéu.

Liverpool fans are not uncommon, and as the game approaches, there are more and more such people on the streets of Madrid.

But the big banner carried by Phil Gibbs and the others successfully attracted the attention of other Madrid people.

It was a big red flag, and in the middle of the red flag was a huge golden bear's head.

This is the logo of the Red Giant Bear Organization.

Anyone who sees this golden bear head or this flag will know that the giant red bear organization is here.

The Red Giant Bear fan group is considered a young group among the Liverpool fan groups, but because of Chen Yingxiong, they are now very famous and well known to everyone.At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool's home stadium, the general KOP stand is the area where the most die-hard Liverpool fans gather, and it is also the most lively place.But as the red giant bear took root in the Centennial Glory Stand, the Centennial Glory Stand has also become a grand stand at Anfield Stadium.

In the England Stadium, many fans have already seen the red giant bear.He called Chen Yingxiong's name, and then Chen Yingxiong raised his hand to respond. It is said that it was first invented by the fans of the Red Giant Bear.

This flag, which symbolizes the giant red bear organization, also followed them to fight north and south, showing its face in many places besides the limelight.

Many other fan organizations in England only need to look at this flag to know that the red giant bear is coming.

Although the red giant bear is a newcomer, it has a large number of people and a great momentum. Many members are young guys. Influenced by Chen Yingxiong's personality, they are all relatively arrogant and high-profile.Because of this, the fighting power of this fan organization is very strong, and ordinary fan organizations are not willing to meet them at all.After they met, the two sides fought songs and slogans, and the voices were high and low, but neither could win.

However, this organization is very famous in England, but in Madrid, Spain, it is still a new face.

Wherever they passed, they were all watched by the people of Madrid.

When they arrived outside the Bernabéu stadium, they met a group of Real Madrid fans.
