Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 63 Changes in Benfica
Mourinho still came to the training ground early as always, but some players could no longer hold on to the image of a good boy. Those people were always late or absent from training every day. "was injured".

Mourinho wanted to expose the tricks of this group of people, but the medical team did not listen to him. Not only did they not review the players who wanted to be lazy, they also helped them create evidence of muscle problems. Of course, no It will be a strain or a fiber break, and the end of the injury report always says this sentence:

It is recommended to observe for one to two days. The player needs to relax and rest, and cannot participate in high-intensity training.

"Damn it!" Mourinho slammed down his desk angrily. He knew that he couldn't confront these guys head-on. With the medical team and the media who had been waiting for something to happen behind him, they had nothing to fear.

Since you don't want to train hard or compete well, then I will do what you want.

Mourinho picked up his mobile phone and found Mozel. Compared with those old courtiers who had no bottom line in Benfica, this Brazilian who has always been working diligently seems to be more trustworthy.

After a while, the door of his office was slowly pushed open, and Mozel walked in.

"Coach Jose, are you looking for me?"

With a cold face, Mourinho pushed the list of those absent from training in recent days to the other end of the table. Mozel came up to check it carefully several times, and his expression became a little bad.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is laziness. What are these guys thinking?!"

"It doesn't matter what they think now, what matters is what we think." Mourinho raised his head and stared at Mozel's face. If the Brazilian is also with the slackers, he doesn't want to let it go What clues.

Mozel narrowed his eyes, subconsciously twitched the hand holding the list, and looked up at Mourinho after thinking for a moment: "You want to hit them hard? The team's performance is not good, yours The prestige has not yet been established, this is not a good time."

"What I really want to know is what you think." Mourinho is pressing every step of the way. No matter which side the Brazilian is on, he will force his assistant to express his position at this moment. This is related to the next team affairs Before that, he had to figure out whether the person standing beside him was a human or a ghost.

Mozel swallowed hard, and his deep voice was no longer as hesitant as before: "No matter what you want to do, I will be the first to stand up and support, but there is also a condition. Things like today that are going to make a big noise , you must be the first to tell me, if you agree, I will tell you my assessment of this matter."

"I promise you, Mozel, you are my assistant and you deserve my trust."

"Well, you are clear that these guys are all the main force or semi-main force of the team. If you want to tell them, you must not be forceful if you want to attack them. It will lead to indiscriminate bombardment by the media, and the mentality of other players The status may also be affected. You should not want to see this happen, right?
I have two plans, one is to find a way to catch the biggest thorn in it, start with their injury report, find out the guy with the most nonsensical reasons and the most unscrupulous during the break, and severely punish them according to the team's rules Make a pass to warn others.The advantage of this is that the team's strength will not be damaged, and the outside world will not be able to pick out the thorns, but it is easy to relapse after a period of time.

The second is more ruthless. Since they can get in touch with the medical team, in order to prevent further incidents, we propose that the team's training intensity should be greatly increased in the near future. Their injuries need to be observed but they must be maintained. All the gang members will be transferred to the reserve team for a period of time. In this case, I believe that no one will dare to steal and play tricks again.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Our captain Calado did not reach a tacit agreement with you. Without his help in this matter, plus the complaints from those people to his teammates, the relationship between you and the locker room will probably deteriorate a lot. .Furthermore, after removing these four or five guys, you may not have enough people to organize the confrontation training of the first team, let alone cope with the increasingly intensive schedule later. "

Mourinho had already thought about it in his heart, and the reason why he asked Mozel was just to test whether he would seriously consider it.When dealing with old fritters in the team who behave badly, you must not be soft-hearted. Targeting individual people alone will be very ineffective, and it will only make them feel greater hatred or contempt for the head coach.

Mozel looked at Mourinho, who was in deep thought, and could only lower his head and give a helpless smile. He pointed to the door and said, "You have to decide how to handle this matter. I don't count what I say. Maybe you I need to think about it for a while, then I will check the maintenance status of the training equipment first, and call me anytime when I think about it..."

"No, I've already thought about it. Send those guys down. They have no professionalism at all and are not worthy of Benfica's first team. I'm going to have one last 'communication' with the medical team, Mozel, don't Forget about equipment maintenance, you have more important things to do.

With this roster, I will bring up a few boys from the reserve team. Training cannot be stopped because of those 'worms'. I want to readjust the main lineup of Benfica.As for Carado, his skills are good, but if he is still standing on the sidelines as the captain and can't help, then he should give up this responsibility and go. "

Mourinho tore a piece of paper from his notebook and handed it to the stunned Mozel. The latter didn't expect him to make a choice so quickly, and he was half a beat late in responding to something.

It seems that the lazy guys have hit the hardest wall in Benfica this time. It's unfortunate. The young man hit.

"Geraldo, Diogo Luis, Nuno Abru, you lucky boys, pack up your things and report to the first team with me tomorrow. Hurry up, don't dawdle, go to the boring place over there Stop talking nonsense and train hard."

……

The training intensity of the first team has been significantly improved, but the rest of the players still have their own way. They are not lazy, but they are unwilling to wear shin pads. The reason is also very simple. They think that the training in the team should not be too intense. confrontation.

It’s okay when Mourinho is on the sidelines. As soon as he leaves, someone will quietly take off the shin guards and throw them outside the field, and then the defensive players on both sides will tacitly stop going to the ground to tackle.

If someone shows up at Benfica's training ground, they will be surprised to find that this place seems to have become a gathering place for the most civilized and elegant gentlemen. Everyone's jerseys are spotlessly clean, they kick each other, run and run, and then the training is over.

But everything changed after the kids from the second team came. The young people did everything they could to win the head coach's favor. They ran, penetrated and defended frantically, and seized any opportunity to express themselves.

I don't know how many times I was knocked down, and when I rolled on the ground with my legs in my arms, even the most generous guy knew that it was time to reinsert the shin guards into the socks. Protecting yourself is the most important thing for a child who is worth a few hundred euros.

Mourinho injected new vitality into the team with this kind of aggressiveness. The young people got the opportunity to train and even play in the first team. They did not have any direct communication, but they reached the greatest degree of tacit understanding. This seems to be mutual Use, but who really knows?

The change of Benfica's lineup caused an uproar internally, but the outside world did not get any news. It was not until the new match roster was released that the dumbfounded people knew that Benfica had experienced a silent "earthquake".

The original main players didn't even make the roster. Instead, a few young faces from the reserve team appeared on the bench. The reporters wanted to dig deeper into the story, but found that the staff inside the club didn't know the details. what happened.

They only knew that those guys who didn't even sit on the bench seemed to be injured a little bit, and they caught up with the high-intensity special training specially approved by coach Mourinho to prepare for the devil's schedule. The coaching team was worried that these people's injuries would worsen, so they simply let They went to the reserve team to recover

A reporter was disappointed that he didn’t find the exclusive news, and felt that he couldn’t leave empty-handed, so he edited and supplemented the rumors he had heard, and turned it into a decent report:

"Mourinho is messing around, the special training is training people to death, the team has frequent injuries, and the incomplete strength of Benfica's lineup has dropped sharply."

Mozel was stunned for a long time when he saw the news, and laughed for a full 10 minutes in his small office. Later, he laughed so hard that he alarmed the medical team who had been bored recently.

……

Before the arrival of the intensive schedule, Mourinho organized a teaching match between the main lineup and the reserve team. He wanted to try to understand the real psychological activities of the Benfica players after such a big change. The potential of the newly promoted lads.

Therefore, even if it is an internal training game of a teaching nature, Mourinho still requires referees to enforce the law with strict standards, at least to reach the penalty level of ordinary Portuguese games.

Unexpectedly, it was just the beginning, and Maniche, who felt that he would be squeezed out of the game time, was so annoyed that he brazenly shoveled the opponent's player with a fierce action. The referee shook his head and directly showed a red card.

Mourinho saw with his own eyes that Maniche, who was still muttering something, walked into the locker room. He called an assistant coach and told him to tell Maniche to run laps. Maniche was not convinced. Slowly swinging around the side of the court.

As soon as he came to the training ground the next day, he was stopped by Mourinho.

"I saw the speed of your running yesterday, but I don't know whether it is your physical fitness or attitude, so you should also go to the reserve team to stay for a while. When you feel that you are fine, come to me again .”

Four days later, Maniche took the initiative to return to the first team and apologized to Mourinho. He was the first guy among the few who were sent down to give in. Compared with the others, he was quite smart.

　The game is coming and Young is about to reappear
