"The most sensational news in German football today is not the battle for the Bundesliga Bundesliga standings, nor is it Hamburg vs. Werder Bremen, Leverkusen vs. Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Who will win? It's not Bayern. The Champions League battle with Chelsea two days later, but Karl Alston and Jose Mourinho, two young managers rumored to be going on!"

The commentator of the Bavarian sports station looked very bloody today: "The reporter of "Bild" broke out that Mourinho suddenly landed in Munich yesterday and stayed at Karl Oston's house. The fact that the Champions League game came suddenly a few days ago, Chelsea's official explanation to the outside world is 'visiting friends', and Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath does not want to believe this statement. When he was interviewed this morning "If the Chelsea coach wants to sneak a peek at Bayern Munich's strength before the game, then he welcomes Mourinho at the match between Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg tomorrow."

"Is Magath's guess correct? Mourinho himself firmly denies it. He claimed that he came to Munich in advance not to prepare for the match against Bayern. There is no fear, and he really wants to visit friends. The person Mourinho calls a 'friend' is none other than 1860 Munich head coach Karl Oston, who has recently become popular in the Bundesliga [-]... ..."

Following the commentator's words, many cameras in the stadium pointed their cameras at Jose Mourinho sitting in the VIP box. With so much media attention, Mourinho himself did not feel indifferent. At ease, he was chatting happily with Auer, the chairman of Munich 1860 in the box (probably Karl Alston introduced the two to each other, many reporters thought so), and looked at the stadium from time to time for a while.

The camera lens clearly recorded that the direction of Mourinho's gaze was the coaching bench of 1860 Munich.

This seems to show that what Mourinho said in an earlier interview with reporters was correct, and he and Karl Oston do have a lot of "friendship".

"Karl Oston served as Manchester United's assistant coach from the end of 03 to September 04, and everyone knows Mourinho's experience. He was the coach of Porto before the summer of 9, and was later invited by Chelsea boss Abramovich. , suddenly moved into the Premier League Blues. The only time the two coached and played against each other was in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals between Manchester United and Porto in the 04-03 season. When Mourinho came to the Premier League, because Ferguson was back again Queiroz was hired back, so Auston is basically in a semi-resigned state in Manchester United."

The Bavarian sports channel commentator said with a little doubt: "I believe that many fans and friends are as curious as I am, how two people with different nationalities, different places of residence, and even a handful of times they have played against each other, how did they establish a deep bond? friendly?"

The VIP box at the Munich Olympic Stadium undoubtedly has a perfect view overlooking the entire stadium, but at the same time, just in case—for example, the VIPs had a great time chatting with each other, and they didn’t want to lie in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the game and be photographed by the reporters. Therefore, there is also a super-large-screen TV in each box, which simultaneously broadcasts the games in the stadium live.

Therefore, both Mourinho and the chairman of Munich 1860 Auer heard clearly what the TV commentator just said.

Orr's gaze also became very interested. He was also curious about how the friendship between Karl and Mourinho was established-but Mourinho pretended to be confused about this, and did not want to satisfy the other party's curiosity at all. .

People always think that a deep friendship needs a long time to be assisted to become precious, but they don't know that there is another kind of friendship called love at first sight. It only takes a short time for two people to become sympathetic to each other.

Mourinho is extremely smart. There is no doubt that during the years in Porto, he was the most brilliant and dazzling coach in Portugal. He was invincible all over Portugal, but a genius without an opponent is always lonely.

Precisely because he wanted more and greater challenges, Mourinho readily agreed to Abramovich's invitation and came to the Premier League-here there are Ferguson, Wenger, and Benitez who just took over as Liverpool coach. Neo will never feel lonely in the Premier League, because his enemies are so many.

But if all the smart people in the world are enemies with me, it is interesting that the body is in a state of struggle all the time. After a long time, it will consume a lot of mental and physical energy.

Carl was the only player Mourinho met who was as intelligent as he was and less aggressive towards him.Communication with Carl is always very interesting, especially now that Mourinho and Carl have no interests involved, and the relationship between the two can be more relaxed, which makes Mourinho feel very comfortable. The in-depth communication between them can help you relax those tight nerves.

……

In the press area of ​​the Munich Olympic Stadium, at least 48 or [-] media came today. This is a remarkable record for a match in the middle of the Bundesliga Bundesliga. Fort's game against Cologne only attracted [-] media to the scene.

What's more, not only the German media, but also journalists from France, England, Italy, Spain and even Portugal came to the Olympic Stadium this time. For Mourinho, and some, attracted by "Mourinho and Auston".

Jose Mourinho, the head coach of Chelsea, who is famous all over the world for his wild personality and dazzling coaching achievements, recently told the "Mirror" that the Premier League title is already in his pocket, detonating the entire Premier League. Fiery atmosphere.

Oston, Germany's most topical young coach at present, although his coaching period is short, he has already achieved many achievements - he is the most professional in discovering newcomers in the team, coaching games and activating the golden boy of Spain The commentators can't make a mistake for the time being, and they are deeply loved by domestic female fans because of their handsome and extraordinary face.

When these two people packed up and appeared in the same stadium, everyone—fans, media, commentators, and even the stadium security guards—couldn’t help but focus on them, and then naturally ignored the other person in the stadium. key person.

Who is this person?

Naturally, it is the head coach of the Koln team, Uwe Lapoord.

The 47-year-old Lapoord has always been very confident in himself: he obtained a bachelor's degree in economics when he was a player, which is very rare for professional players; Not a superstar, but has always been an indispensable main force of the team; he turned from a professional player to a coach at the age of 33, which is also very young at that age; he can speak five languages; his chess level is very good Superb, almost reaching the level of a professional chess player.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Lapoulde thinks he is very good and is the best among his peers.

Moreover, it is precisely because of his taking over that Cologne, whose performance was very poor last season, has almost locked in the promotion spot for this season. Moreover, their current team points are very good, and they can kill Duo, who is the number one in the standings, at any time. Eastborg, promoted to the Bundesliga with the first place in the Bundesliga!

So Lapoord is confident that although he is not comparable in the Bundesliga, in any game in the Bundesliga, he will be a popular figure that media fans focus on.

But in today's game, he found himself ignored by everyone...

At the pre-match press conference and in the mixed zone where the game started, everyone was busy talking about Mourinho or Auston. Occasionally, a few people would mention today’s game, but no one mentioned him. Vi Lapoord!

The Cologne assistant coach saw the displeasure of his immediate boss, so when the media in the mixed area were busy raising the microphone in front of the Munich 1860 coach, he coughed and said, "Doesn't anyone want to interview the Cologne coach?"

The reporters responded to his words by turning their heads for a nonchalant glance, and then raised the microphone more aggressively in front of Auston.

A few minutes later, a reporter who didn't grab a seat kindly answered the assistant coach of Cologne: "If it were left in the past, of course everyone would interview Lapoord, one of the protagonists of the game, but today, with the other two Personally, the head coach of Cologne has no charm at all! Lapoulde's coaching performance is good, but Oston, who is 20 years younger than him, is not far behind, not to mention that Mourinho can simply Kill ten Lapoulde in seconds! He can speak 5 languages, so can Mourinho! He has a bachelor's degree in economics, but his graduate school can't compare to the University of Munich in Austen! Mourinho Ao is 42 this year, Oston is 27, they are both younger and more handsome than him..."

In a word, today's timing is special, and the reporters have no interest in the "respectable and lovely" Cologne head coach.

This is going to piss off the proud and arrogant Lapoulde!

Having been robbed of the limelight, Lapoulde was extremely unwilling. He secretly gritted his teeth and thought: Those who ignore him must pay the price!

……

From the first minute of the game, Cologne and Munich 1 put on a confrontational posture, but after 1860 minutes, Karl quickly realized that something was wrong-Cologne's artillery fire was too powerful, and their players seemed to think they were robots. His stamina will never be exhausted and he is attacking wildly. Not only is he fighting fiercely, but also the midfielders and frontcourt players are almost pressed into the half of Munich 5.

This style of play is really a bit... unscientific.

However, it is not suitable to delve into the purpose of the head coach of Cologne at this moment. Karl quickly ran to the side of the field and gestured, asking the players to change their formation from attacking to defensive counterattack.

"Cologne midfielder Yayalo took the ball... He raised his right foot and wanted to pass a long pass. Shao Jiayi suddenly appeared and hit a sliding tackle from the left... After getting the ball, Shao Jiayi made a decisive pass back!"

"The three Cologne midfielders followed Tisser with the ball into their own half, the distance between the two sides shortened and shortened... Tisser was tackled! His ball was taken by the Cologne player Stop! The referee did not blow the whistle, and the Cologne team did not foul!"

"The Cologne players brought the ball into the midfield again and quickly started another attack...one, two, three... eight! Except for the two defenders who guarded the Cologne goal firmly, the remaining eight of them It's madness that the players are all in the midfield and the 1860 Munich half!"

"Cologne has been playing like crazy in the ten minutes since the start of the game. Their offenses have been wave after wave, as if they are about to blast open the gate of Munich 1860... But today's home game The team Munich 1860 started to defend from the 7th minute. All their players retreated into the half court because of the opponent's strength... It is really impressive that the home team was forced into this state by the visiting team at the beginning of the game surprise."

"But this does not mean that Munich 1860 was overwhelmed by Cologne. Although Cologne's current momentum is very strong, judging from the fact that Munich 1860 completed the offensive and defensive transition in just a few tens of seconds, this team is completely Possesses the strength to turn the situation around later... But everything depends on the on-the-spot command ability of the two head coaches."

In order to echo the narrator's words, there are at least three swarthy shots at the Munich Olympic Stadium, which are aimed at the coaches of Cologne and Munich 1860 together——

Then, the sneer on the mouth of Cologne coach Lapoulde, which had not been hidden, happened to be caught.

Lapoulde didn't know that there was a camera staring at him. He was complacently throwing an arrogant look at the Munich 1860 coach bench, thinking in his heart: Look at your immature appearance, how calm and breezy you are , How unpredictable, wait for my players to break your goal, see if you can continue to pretend!

Cologne launched such a crazy offensive after the opening, which was specially explained by Lapoulde at the pre-match meeting, in order to give Munich 1860 a good look in the first half, and let the media and fans understand by the way-today The protagonist of this game is the Cologne team!

At this time, even the diehard Cologne fans in front of the TV have a feeling that they can't bear to look directly at their coach: If you always play sinister, play it in your heart, don't show it directly on your face, this image is ruined... Other neutral fans will probably turn black on us passers-by.

But when the camera moved to the coaching bench of Munich 1860 and wanted to make a comparison between the two coaches for the fans, the cameraman seemed to have heard the inner call of the female fans in front of the TV, and fixed the camera fully. for more than 10 seconds——

Carl was wearing a black suit today, standing upright in front of the table. The material of the clothes was full of texture, and the design and tailoring were outstanding, wrapping his figure perfectly.

Originally, on such an April day, wearing such a black three-piece suit would have seemed too strict and old-fashioned, but Karl matched the white shirt with a purple tie with diamond checks, which brought a little chic embellishment to the whole suit .In addition, the corner of the neatly folded purple handkerchief is subtly exposed in the left breast pocket, which not only echoes the tie of the same color, but also brings a lively (saucy bag?) atmosphere to the whole body.

There is no beauty without contrast.

In the eyes of the female fans, there is no longer room for a second person.

……

Karl did not miss the Cologne coach's sneer.

Who made the other party stare at him too harshly?

However, he neither looked back to confront Lapoulde, nor did he show any displeasure on his face.

In fact, the performance of the Cologne coach made Karl feel at ease.

He realized that the Cologne team's aggressive tactics on the court at the moment were probably temporarily arranged by their head coach before the game-because it seemed that Lapoord hated himself very much.

And Karl originally thought that the Cologne team would learn from his previous tactics. After leading the offense in the first half, they would choose to stick to it in the second half.It would be troublesome if that was the case, but it's clear now that Cologne just wants to play a fastball, a fastball that can kill 1860 Munich quickly.

But will they be able to do so?

Cologne is indeed full of momentum, and the offense is also very fierce, but as long as you observe carefully, you can find that their offensive is empty, but it has no actual lethality. Otherwise, the goal of Munich 1860 must have been broken.

The reason?

The Cologne players on the field are a little impetuous. Their cooperation is not natural and smooth. Everyone presses forward and presses forward. They are eager to shoot, but they don't play the kind of attack that is layered and lethal. Come.

The head coach is the soul of a team, and how the head coach behaves in the game will largely determine the temperament of the team.

Laporte was too impetuous, and his series of performances in the pre-match also infected the Cologne players with this emotion.

It would be better if there is an absolute core on the field who is not inferior to the head coach, can grasp the scale of offense and defense, and remind his teammates under the premise that the head coach ignores it, but the current Cologne is obviously lacking. such a person.

So everyone saw Cologne kicking more and more forward, playing more and more crazy. While forcing all the members of Munich 1860 to the vicinity of the penalty area, it also exposed a large gap in their own defense.

However, because of his own selfishness, Cologne coach Lapoord has been intoxicated by the fact that his team has mastered the offense, and cannot see clearly the hidden crisis behind it.
