Fame with a ball

Chapter 160 Serial Psychological Warfare

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Juventus' home game against Bayern Munich, ended with a result that was both expected and unexpected by many.

Juventus did not allow Bayern to take the victory away from the Neue Alpi.

Lin Zhigao scored a dramatic lightning goal in the opening 33 seconds, catching Bayern by surprise.

Bayern tried to counterattack in the next few 10 minutes, and finally in the 36th minute, Thomas Muller broke through and sent a long pass. Gomez hit the goal without stopping the ball and equalized the score for Bayern.

But just 3 minutes after Bayern coach Heinkertz was happy, Lin Zhigao penetrated the entire Bayern defense with another midfield pass and assisted Matri to overtake the score again!

The next game was spent in the defensive counterattack and then defensive counterattack of the two teams. Although there was no goal in the second half of the game, the fans said after the game that this quarter-final second round The game was much better than the first round, because neither Bayern nor Juventus chose to blindly defend, the rhythm was fast, and the offense was also very beautiful.

首回合尤文3:1拜仁,次回合2:1,尤文图斯以5:2的绝对优势挺进半决赛。

The resolute German was not overly frustrated by his early exit from the Champions League. Thomas Muller even ran up to Lin Zhigao and exchanged balls with him and said: "When we meet again next time, we will definitely be eliminated. Not Bayern anymore"

Hearing this sentence, Lin Zhigao felt emotional after he was in a trance.The same thing, he said to Ronaldo, he also said to Messi, and now it is finally the turn of others to say to him, does this mean that Juventus has also become an existence that can be chased by people?

The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League are over, and Chelsea, Juventus, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid have entered the semi-finals with their heads held high.According to UEFA's long-established draw rules, Juventus will compete with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona for the only two Champions League final qualifications.

Juventus was eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid last season, but this season they met their opponents again. Is this called fate?

……

After the UEFA Champions League semi-final matches came out, the media speculated about Chelsea, Juventus, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid. Which two teams will qualify for the final?

Barcelona and Real Madrid are naturally the two most promising teams, but there are also many fans of Chelsea. After all, they are backed by rich Russians, have countless superstars in the team, and have a good record in the past ten years. They even won once. The Champions League champion, counting it, is Juventus, which has not made it to the quarter-finals or above of the Champions League for more than 10 years, and is the least favored.

A professional football career is very hard and tiring. There are more games and more training. Most stars are not very good at surfing the Internet, but they like to use their mobile phones to log on to Facebook and Twitter after training. Of course superstars also have such hobbies, not only them, their families, girlfriends, wives and even children all have their own Twitter accounts.

Cristiano Ronaldo recently sent a tweet that caused a lot of controversy. It started from the Spanish national derby that ended a few days ago. In that national derby, Pepe was killed because he shoveled Sanchez After being sent off with a red card, Messi also fouled Alonso, but only got a verbal warning from the referee.In fact, Messi already had a yellow card at that time. If the referee is willing to give Messi a second yellow card, Messi will also be sent off. Then Real Madrid and Barcelona will both fight with 10 people.But the referee did not issue a card to Messi, which also caused Messi to show off his might and score two goals in the subsequent game, helping Barcelona win Real Madrid 3:2.

Real Madrid players, especially Pepe, firmly believe that if Messi is also sent off, Real Madrid will win in the end, so they are very dissatisfied.The irritable Pepe vented his emotions on Twitter after the game. The words were not very elegant, which attracted the siege of Barcelona fans. Pepe and Barcelona fans started a scolding war on Twitter. The teammates seemed so weak, and several Real Madrid stars also came to help, including Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo @ Pepe on Twitter, saying: "A league derby is nothing, wait until we give Barcelona a good look at the Stadium of Light!"

As soon as this tweet was sent out, it immediately caused an uproar from the fans.

What surprised the fans was not the attitude of the Real Madrid superstars hating Barcelona. It would be hell if they didn't hate each other, but a certain word in Ronaldo's sentence-the Stadium of Light.

The Stadium of Light, home of the Portuguese Benfica team, is one of the five-star stadiums selected by UEFA and is also the venue for the 2014 UEFA Champions League final.This time, I know why the fans are surprised, because when Ronaldo was at @队友, he directly expressed the attitude that Real Madrid will surely win the final qualification!What else does this mean?It means that Ronaldo didn't take Juventus, his opponent in the semi-finals, seriously!

Regarding Ronaldo's behavior, people from all walks of life expressed their opinions one after another. Those who have a good impression of him said, "Ronaldo is full of confidence! Once a player like him ignites his desire for victory, it will be very easy for Real Madrid to qualify for the final !", while those who hate Ronaldo will sneer and say: "Having not defeated the opponent in the semi-finals, he clamored to show Barcelona a good look. He is really an arrogant guy! Arrogant and rude!"

These days, Twitter and Facebook spread information much faster than traditional media. Cristiano Ronaldo just tweeted, and Italy knew everything within an hour.

Lin Zhigao brushed Twitter with his mobile phone, hating Ronaldo's words, not only him, but other Juventus players also felt that Ronaldo's behavior was too disrespectful to Juventus.

Lin Zhigao really wanted to take revenge on the other party, but he directly posted @友友 on Weibo and made a mockery of it, didn’t he seem too small-minded and impolite?

While hesitating, he suddenly received a private message on Twitter. Lin Zhigao tapped the screen with his hand and opened the private message: From Messi: I want to see you at the Stadium of Light more than that other guy.

Who else could "that guy" refer to?Lin Zhigao immediately raised his eyebrows and turned back: Did you also see his tweet?

Pique asked me to watch it, and to be honest, we didn't like what he said either. - Messi.

He is expressing his dissatisfaction to you, but why are we the ones lying down! ! ! —— Lin Zhigao.

...Because he lacks a string in his head? - Messi.

Is this a personal attack? —— Lin Zhigao.

I don't think so. - Messi.

I love that statement then! —— Lin Zhigao.

Do you want revenge? - Messi.

How to revenge?I don't want to directly @ him to scold him. —— Lin Zhigao.

As soon as the private message was sent, there was a "ding" sound on the phone, and a message popped up on the Twitter page, saying that Lin Zhigao was @, and it was public.

He swiped to the homepage of Twitter, saw Messi @ himself, and said: See you at the Stadium of Light on May 5?

Lin Zhigao froze for a moment, then smiled.He moved his finger, @贝西:See you there!

……

More than a week before the first round of the Real Madrid and Juventus Champions League semi-finals, which some media dubbed the "Battle of the Century", there was an atmosphere of gunpowder everywhere.

A reporter from "Aspen" interviewed Real Madrid coach Mourinho after the Real Madrid home team finished training one day: "Does Real Madrid have training tactics specifically for Juventus recently? What are you most worried about in the game as a guest at New Alpi? "

Mourinho replied immediately: "We are currently practicing the tactics of fighting with 10 people."

The reporter was refreshed after hearing this: "You are implying..."

"I didn't imply anything." Mourinho spread his hands innocently: "I'm just worried that in the game against Juventus, some players were sent off because of rough actions. You know, our stars are not all players. They all have a good temper, and fouls on the court are inevitable, and I don't hope that we will lose this important game not because of our lack of strength in the end."

After the reporter finished interviewing Mourinho, he published a report in the newspaper the next day: "Madman fears encountering home whistle treatment before training 10-man tactics before the game." The altar caused quite a stir.

When many Juventini saw this report published in the newspaper, they couldn't help yelling: "Fuck, Mourinho has started playing psychological warfare again!"

Psychological warfare has always been applied in football, but it really became a big move that can kill opponents and was widely valued by world football. It began in the 1995-1996 season-Manchester United coach Ferguson used psychological warfare in the 95-96 season. Tactics, Newcastle's head coach Keegan at the time forced the mentality to be out of balance, which led Newcastle to give up the Premier League title in the 1-12 season to Manchester United with a lead of 95 points in one game less. Since then, psychological warfare has become more and more serious More has become the key to determining the outcome of the game.

Although Mourinho is dozens of years younger than Arsene Wenger and Ferguson, who are also masters of psychological warfare, his achievements in psychological warfare are no lower than the two of them. The latter two famous coaches even rely on this young coach. Overshadowed losses—Mourini’s most brilliant season in using psychological tactics in the Olympics was when he was at Chelsea and Inter Milan. In order to win, he used all means to criticize Wenger’s tactics, intervene in A Cole’s transfer, and upset his heart. The chaotic Wenger lost a good game. He also accused Ferguson of buying the referee in the away game. As a result, he got the referee’s attention in the home game and relied on penalties to pass. All of this may be due to the fact that Magic Bird has a Is the wife of a psychology professor.

Mourinho is well versed in psychological tactics. Although he has never played football, his ability to incite opponents, motivate players and use the media is better than most coaches in football. Such a person with a brilliant record , and released such a passage before the game, why don't people think about it?

Juventus fans are guessing that Mourinho is deliberately putting pressure on the referee!His rhetoric is just to gain an advantage in public opinion for himself before the game, to gain support on the moral level, and even to try to influence the law enforcement referee, so that the referee's psychology will undergo subtle changes, thereby increasing Real Madrid's chances of winning.

The whole world knows what Mourinho has done to the referees, but he is the one who forced the famous whistle Frederick to retire early just by talking about it!Think about it, if the referee who will enforce the Juventus Real Madrid game reads this report, will he cancel Juventus's home care because he is worried that Mourinho will bombard him, or even deliberately make certain penalties? What about Real Madrid?This is very likely to happen, and if it happens, Mourinho will laugh and Juventus will suffer.

Therefore, Juventus must make a counterattack, and the best candidate for a counterattack is Capello.

However, Capello, who has always disliked dealing with the media and rarely even sparred with his opponents, will he stand up?Many Juventini have expressed concern about this - they know that as a world-renowned coach, Capello's tactical attainments are unmatched by others, and his point of view is also very sharp, and he can always see through the enemy's disguise , but in terms of playing psychological warfare and inciting the media to serve themselves, many football coaches can blast him into scum, not to mention the masters of psychological warfare Mourinho and others.

The fans are only worried about Capello's weird temper, but they forget one thing, that is Capello's dedication to victory.Capello and Mourinho are actually well-known in football who love to play "utilitarian football", just to win by whatever means, and when Mourinho's actions affect the situation of the game, Capello Why can't Luo violate the common sense of the fans once and come forward?

Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. Uncle Ka has always been clear in his heart, but he often doesn't talk about it. This time, he spoke. The reporter of "Turin Sports News" had the honor to interview the Juventus coach and heard Capello's response to Mourinho's question of whether Juventus would enforce the law in the home game: "I believe in UEFA's choice to enforce our games. The referees must be fair and just, but if the referee sends Pepe, Arbero and other Real Madrid players off the field during the game, it must be because they fouled Juventus players, just like in the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid defenders often do to Barcelona players."

As we all know, in the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid often used foul tactics to deal with Barcelona. Mourinho wanted to use the opportunity to put pressure on the referee, but Capello refused to give him this opportunity, and directly used the old history of Real Madrid to play Juventus Real Madrid The red card that may appear in the game made an excuse.After the report was published, many people couldn't help applauding: a beautiful counterattack!

When Mourinho was working hard, the entire Spanish media became his helper, talking about the "black history" of Italian football, as if implying that the referee would definitely blow the home whistle for Juventus in the game a week later .And when Capello counterattacked, the Italian journalists, who were suffocated, also began to blackmail their Spanish counterparts, not only wantonly digging out the benefits that Mourinho won for Real Madrid by using the referee's power, they even said sarcastically: "Magic Bird is training his 10-man tactics, and our Juventus team doctors are also busy honing their medical skills, so that we can rescue our players in time when there is a crisis in the game."

The media of the two countries scolded each other in the air, and they had a great time fighting. The UEFA Referee Association, as the one who lay down the gun, really felt aggrieved-their referees made this damn Mourinho spend a lot of money with the media again. Bundle!

Football is like this. In some games, there are no loopholes in the judgment, but the skepticism still makes the referees become scapegoats and outlets for both teams. This is really not conducive to the development of football. When it was hot, he came out to protest, strongly protesting: "We will send our oldest referee team with the most fair judgment in the Champions League, so I hope those who question the fairness of the referee will restrain themselves and don't let the referee Became a victim of some people's war of words."

UEFA has issued a statement. Now neither Juventus nor Real Madrid can hold on to the referee's problem. Otherwise, the Champions League is hosted by UEFA. Do you want to be in the game? Wearing small shoes?

The smart Mourinho immediately began to change the subject. When he accepted the new interview of "Aspen", he began to talk about Juventus' game tactics, not only guessing which formations Capello would use To deal with Real Madrid, he even helped Capello "finalize" the starting lineup, as if he was afraid that he would not be "intimate" enough, Mourinho even gave three sets of Juventus starting lineups in one breath, allowing Capello to "feel free". Pick"!

Some players in the Juventus first team became a little distracted in training.

Those who are absolutely quasi-main players are okay, and some who hover between the main force and the rotation position, who may be arranged by Capello to start, or who may sit on the bench for 90 minutes, are starting to feel uneasy-the match between Real Madrid and Juventus must be It will attract the attention of the whole world. This is an extremely rare opportunity for the players to show themselves. Who would not want to start?It was okay at first, but now that they were named by a famous coach like Mourinho, the seed of hope in their hearts, which was originally only a small size, immediately broke through the ground and grew.

Capello almost hated Mourinho's outspokenness.

It's not that the first-line players are restless and careful, that's actually a trivial matter, just hold a few more training sessions in the team, or inform them of the starting lineup in advance, and then let the players keep their mouths shut.The important thing is that Mourinho actually guessed Capello's starting lineup!

Juventus fell into a passive situation, and once again, although Mourinho may not even know it, he hit it by mistake.

Capello has been hesitant to change the formation, because no matter what he does, it will be troublesome.If you change the formation, there are only a few days left before the game, too hasty.But if he does not change, he is worried that Mourinho has already studied the confrontation tactics based on this formation.

This really gave Capello a headache, a very headache, and once he was in a bad mood, the iron-blooded coach would also go crazy!

"The head coach of Real Madrid has been playing psychological tactics recently, hoping to deal a blow to us, but I don't want to play with him anymore! The home game is a rare opportunity for us. Juventus will beat guests from afar in this game! And I have ordered the staff to mow the turf of the new Alp and water it three days in advance, I hope that after Real Madrid loses the game, it will not be blamed on our turf being too unsatisfactory or the grass being too slippery."

When Capello satirized the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in 11, Mourinho deliberately prevented the Bernabéu staff from mowing the lawn, thereby affecting the passing speed of Barcelona.I have to say, this passage is also very vicious!The war of words that directly cooled down this opinion has heated up again.

The English media has always been the best at war of words, but in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, the anger between Chelsea and Barcelona was not as great as that between Juventus and Real Madrid. The attitude can be called respectful!

There are also third-party media, such as "Kicker" and "L'Equipe", which have different interpretations of this psychological warfare: "The Spanish media all claim that Mourinho took the initiative to provoke the war because he wanted to inspire The morale of Real Madrid, and the Italian media said that Mourinho is deliberately messing up Juventus, trying to consume the energy of the opponent in advance. Judging from the current situation, the morale of the Real Madrid players is indeed high, and they have a great desire for victory , and there seems to be some subtle changes within Juventus, but the problems reflected in this gunpowder-flavored war of words are not the only ones."

"It is well known that the time when Mourinho used psychological tactics most superbly in the Olympic Games was the few seasons when he coached Chelsea and Inter Milan. Since then, he has used psychological tactics and developed from paranoid and fierce to peaceful. From his recent We have not had any major conflicts with any head coach for several years. We know that Magic Bird has begun to relax. But this game against Juventus has allowed us to see Mourinho’s full set of tactics. He threw them out one after another, as if trying to stun Capello all at once—does this mean that Real Madrid actually attaches great importance to this game?"
