Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 94

This time following Mourinho to attend the press conference was Porto's captain Vitor Baia. The two responded to the reporter's questions normally, but when it was the turn of the Benfica coach in the interview, Ferreira's attitude changed Both Mourinho and Baia were enraged.

"Mr. Ferreira, Benfica is only two points away from the third place in the league. In this case, what do you think of the away game against Porto?"

"If you asked me this question half a month ago, I would have said that this is an ordinary Portuguese league. Porto is no different from other opponents Benfica has encountered. But it is different now, Villari The dream of Chairman Neo has become the belief that the team upholds. From the dream of one person, it has become the dream of the entire team and even all Benfica people. I am not a big talker, but the game The outcome has already been decided, and it is time for the Asantas Stadium to change its color."

"Benfica offered an olive branch to Porto's current coach Jose Mourinho some time ago, and many newspapers also confirmed the news, but in the end it was you who replaced Toni, Mr. Ferreira, you are responsible for this matter. What do you think?"

"First of all, Benfica is a club with a long history and a complete structure. The chairman and the directors have all the power to decide on the coaching change. Mr. Mourinho is a good choice, but the results in a short period of time It does not represent everything, his experience in Benfica and Leiria cannot fully convince the club, in this case, it is very necessary for Benfica to make a more cautious decision, and it is also a mature enough consideration.”

"During this period of time, the media has continuously exposed conflicts and conflicts between Porto players and fans. Mr. Ferreira, do you think this will affect the progress of the two teams' games?"

"It's inevitable. As we all know, harmony is always stronger than chaos. The atmosphere in Benfica is perfect, and the fans are constantly supporting us. If you have been in the team for as long as I have, you will know me. Where does my confidence come from?

But Benfica's opponents do not have such a peaceful internal environment. I am not belittling Mr. Mourinho's ability, but he should be much busier than me now. I hope Porto can deal with their own problems as soon as possible. Benfica's victory requires An opponent of sufficient weight to serve as a foil. "

When Mourinho left the field, many reporters pointed the camera at him. They hoped that the Setubal people would show some special reactions because of Ferreira's words, but Mourinho remained expressionless, whether it was gait or The expressions did not change at all, which disappointed the reporters.

It wasn't until he walked away from the noisy crowd and walked into the empty passage that Baia came forward and said to Mourinho with a complicated expression: "Coach, you are also very good at self-cultivation. I almost missed it just now." Hold back, it's a pity that the order of the interviews is not reversed."

"I'm not as calm as I appear to be. As for why I didn't fight back in public, you'll understand if you think about it." Mourinho didn't explain much, patted Baia on the shoulder, and walked out first. aisle.

He knew in his heart that as a head coach who just took office, Ferreira shouldn't be so sharp according to common sense, and Ahuaka's experience also showed that he was not always so arrogant.

The seemingly unreasonable thing can be understood as long as it is combined with the dream of Villarinho and the media. It is likely that the high-level Benfica who failed to recruit Mourinho as they wished made Ferreira The decision to take the initiative to fight him.

Fans are of course willing to support a coach with excellent performance, but Ferreira is the only choice in a short period of time. If you want to quickly eliminate internal conflicts, you must actively create external conflicts. His move will definitely be directly judged by the fanatical fans as a performance of loyalty, and Mourinho and Porto are indeed suitable targets to divert attention.

The current situation is that the top management of Benfica personally pushed Ferreira to the forefront, forcing him to belittle Porto and raise Benfica as much as possible. After all, Villariño stood up first regardless of the consequences. At the forefront, if the head coach doesn't follow, how can he continue to stay in the club?
Another poor man who was placed in front of the stage by Benfica as a puppet and tool. Mourinho shook his head, very glad that he did not make mistakes on the way back to the rich. Compared with Porto, which has chairman Da Costa, Villariño and the directors of Benfica are too sincere.

……

The more than [-] seats in the Asantas Stadium are basically full. The first strong dialogue between the two Portuguese giants after the coaching change not only attracted the attention of many fans in Lisbon and Porto, but even the chairman and All directors were also present.

The two chairmen who were originally on good terms had no more exchanges except for a few pleasantries. Villariño's "dream" theory turned Benfica into an undisguised villain. It was a helpless move, but the atmosphere was already extremely embarrassing, and there was no need for Villariño to make any more gestures.

Da Costa, who was sitting in the box in the stands, felt the indifference of the people in Benfica, which made him feel a little offended. In the past, it was not that the two teams did not fight to the death, but no matter how hard they fought, There is no enmity between the top leaders of the two parties.

Villarinho's involvement with the media is not considered to be breaking the rules of the game, but the behavior of abruptly putting the outcome on the table will make both sides look bad. Curling his lips coldly, he picked up the newspaper on the small table next to him and read it on his own.

The directors of Porto found out the attitude of Mr. Chairman, and they all found reasons to end the chat with the Benfica people. For a while, the whole box was silent, and the feeling that the war was about to break out was more obvious than the clamoring fans in the stands.

In the locker room of the home team at the Asantas Stadium, Benfica's starting lineup has been drawn on the tactical board that occupies half of the wall. Mourinho quickly wrote a few lines in his notebook while standing up to the Porto players in front of.

"Benfica is expected to play a 4-4-2 formation, which is also in line with the previous intelligence report. Their two full-backs are Rojas and Diogo, and the central defenders are Mera and Adel. I am very impressed with this. The defense line is fairly familiar, and everyone has the ability to play their own role, but the balance is a little weak.

Their double midfielders are Charo and Carado, two local players with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They were in the team when I coached Benfica. Carado was the captain. He was very smart when playing football and was good at long passes.

Benfica's striker is very luxurious. On the right is Miguel who can play multiple positions, and on the left is the talented winger who returned from Barcelona. Simao Sabrosa, who was once known as Figo's successor, this guy is not tall, but he is fast. Very, very fast, and if he's not focused enough, he can throw off a lot of defenders with just one kick.

Their double forwards are the number one superstars in their respective countries. At the top is the Lithuanian Jankaskas. He just came on loan from the Real Sociedad in La Liga in the winter window. He is 26 years old and has a height of 1.9 meters. He is a real air fighter in the penalty area, Ricardo Silva, you must hold your position when marking Jankauskas, and don't give him a chance to easily jump and compete for the top.

Next to Jancoskas is Mantolas, who is only 20 years old this year, but has become the new hope of the Angola national team. He won the award for the best young player in Africa last year. If it is not because of injury, it may not be from Aihua Card came to Benfica, but went directly to giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

These two forwards are tall and fast, making up for each other's disadvantages. Coupled with Simao's explosive point on the wing, the offensive ability of Benfica's striker is very outstanding. We need to determine the target of everyone's marking.

As I said, Ricardo is the highest point in the defense line. He needs to follow Jankouskas tightly. Andrade, your task is to keep an eye on Mantolas. His position is not fixed. It may be hidden behind Jancoskas, or it may be swapped with Miguel to the right winger position.

Pavlin, you and Secretario will mark Simão. According to their past tactics, except for the long pass in the midfield, most of Benfica's offense will be handed over to Simão. He has too much space to hold the ball. Simao is very good at changing direction in a small range at high speed, but he does not have an advantage in getting rid of the fight.

As for the team's offense, it will be dominated by Costinia and Young. I mentioned in training that Young and Deco have similar technical styles, but he does not need to occupy too much possession of the ball. With Ya's protection, we are enough to establish a numerical advantage in the midfield. "

Seeing that the players who were named said that they remembered their responsibilities, Mourinho walked to several substitutes and began to explain the adjustments that might be made next: "Alenichev, Candido recently You have played a lot of games, and your physical fitness may not be able to keep up. In the second half, you must be prepared to play. It is not that you will not be given the opportunity to start. Alenichev, your muscle injury has just recovered, so you need to be more cautious and control your appearance appropriately. time."

Mourinho turned to Postiga, who was sitting behind with a gloomy expression: "Elder, you have to get used to our current rotation tactics. McCarthy has more experience, and it is easier to show his strength in a single striker system. In the second half, I may change into a double striker to hit Benfica's center, and then it is time for you to show the speed of young people."

After Brito leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, Mourinho clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention: "Everyone, check your shoes one last time and tidy up your jerseys. Let Asantas Stadium see your spirit, come on, time is up, let's beat Benfica home!"
