Chapter 524 Spiraling Conversation

Mourinho backed down, he did not want today to become a meaningless war of words. The purpose of asking Zhuoyang to come and talk was to seek his support in the locker room, not to argue about who was better between Inter Milan and Barcelona three years ago.

"If you hadn't missed the second leg of the semi-finals against Bayern Munich last season, Real Madrid would have had a chance to win the Champions League."

Zhuoyang nodded: "That's the truth. Chelsea was very strong last season, but they haven't played before. Who can say for sure."

Mourinho said: "Chelsea can only win the championship because of Ribery. He is indeed an outstanding player. You are brothers, and you should know him better."

"Yes, in my opinion, Scar is the best winger." Zhuo Yang said.

Mourinho said: "If Ribery is not for sale to Chelsea, Mr. Florentino and I would both like to bring him to Real Madrid, and I very much hope to work with him again."

Zhuo Yang smiled and shook his head: "Scar is here, what will Ronaldo do?"

Mourinho: "..."

Mourinho feels that Zhuo Yang can easily chatter to death like this. Zhuo Yang felt that Mourinho always spoke insincerely and would tire people to death.

Regarding Scar, Mourinho cannot fool Zhuo Yang. Not only are he and Scar brothers, they also have the same agent. Zhuo Yang knew all the twists and turns.

When Mourinho was at Inter Milan, he really wanted to recruit Scar, but the strategy adopted by Inter Milan at the time was to encourage Scar to fall out with Chelsea, and then take the opportunity to buy at a low price. Such a move is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

Mourinho's Real Madrid also offered an olive branch to Scar, but it coincided with Ribery's downturn at that time, and Mourinho could not give a specific plan for how to configure Scar and Ronaldo. Both of them are fond of the left winger position, and Mourinho's vague remarks clearly lacked sincerity.

Maybe Mourinho really wants to compensate for the scar that sacrificed his life for him, but how much weight this guilt occupies in his heart is an intriguing question.

Mourinho decided to change the subject again.

"Zhuoyang, what do you think of Real Madrid now?"

"Everything is possible."

"I mean, do you have the ability to win the Triple Crown?"

"Everything is possible."

"You don't understand what I mean." Mourinho swallowed: "I mean this season."

"I mean this season too."

"Haha, we are now 8 points behind Barcelona."

Zhuoyang curled his lips and said: "Jose, when I was promoted from the youth team to the first team ten years ago, Madibao ranked last in the C-League, with only 4 points, 10 points away from the second last. The gap. At that time, including Hasler and Mr. Klopp, they were all thinking about how to avoid relegation, but I told them that it was still possible to reach the second division."

"No one took me seriously, but six months later we were promoted to Serie B and won the DFB-Pokal against Bayern Munich."

"José, anything is possible."

Mourinho didn't know much about Zhuoyang's early experiences. When he heard such a legend, he didn't feel that Zhuoyang was showing off, but he was fascinated.

In the same 2002-03 season, Mourinho won the Portuguese domestic double crown + UEFA Cup 'triple crown' with Porto, and the following year he led the team to win the Champions League in that famous dark horse year.

This is his honor second only to Inter Milan.

Despite this, Mourinho still yearns for the magical story of Fort Madi. Zhuoyang said it in an understatement, but as a footballer, Mourinho knew how thrilling and soul-stirring it was.

"Zhuoyang, I didn't expect you to be so wonderful at the beginning of your career, and thank you for your confidence in the team now." He said: "Do you think if we want to succeed this season, well... like the Triple Crown? Success, what else does Real Madrid lack?"

The spiraling topic is finally getting closer to the point.

"To be honest, Jose." Zhuoyang said: "I don't know you very well at Inter Milan, but compared with the successful years of Madiburg, Milan, and Barcelona in the past, Real Madrid's team's strength may not be different. How much, but there are still gaps in other aspects.”

"for example?"

"Such as unity."

The office fell silent again.

05 may be the most united team in the history of football, so they can reach the top with their youthful vigor in their youthful years.

08 Zhuoyang and Maldini united sincerely, and the team formed a monolithic unit, driving all interference from the management out of the locker room.

Although Barcelona in the 10-11 season was not as pure as Fort Madi and Milan, it was also a rare unit of unity in recent years, and all the noise in the team was suppressed.

But what about Real Madrid now?

But Mourinho does not agree with Zhuoyang's view, because his team has never been known for its unity, including Milan. He actually doesn't like players to be too united. Being monolithic is always a manager's nightmare.

Mourinho only needs players to implement his tactics to the letter on the field, and if they have any opinions, don't talk nonsense in the media. Keep it to yourself. Other than that, it doesn’t matter how much you love to scheming and jealousy.

"Zhuoyang, the human heart is very complicated. Even if a team can be completely aligned, it is only a temporary phenomenon." Mourinho said: "I don't deny that the three teams you mentioned have done a good job in this regard, but That's just a special case, disputes and differences are the norm."

"The team is a technical team. As long as everyone can do a good technical job on the court, that is, professionalism, that is enough. In fact, there is no need to force everyone's ideas into a model."

Zhuoyang did not refute Mourinho this time. He nodded: "I agree with you, Jose. Sincerity and unity are an important factor for success in football, but it is not a necessary factor. Some things, just make do. That’s it.”

"Yes, that's what I meant." Mourinho was satisfied.

Zhuoyang actually disagreed, but he really didn't want to compete with Mourinho on this, because obviously no one could convince anyone, and it was just a waste of time.

Most of the time, there is no one who is definitely right and who is definitely wrong when it comes to the Three Views. Just like some people like to eat noodles and others like to eat rice, there is no single standard.

However, they have different views, and when talking, it is easy to end up farting in the crotch - the two sides, so don't force them to go together.

"Zhuoyang, what do you think of the discordant voices within the team now?"

The drama finally arrived, Zhuo Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Jose, you just said that the team is just a technical team, these things are just make-shift, don't take it seriously."

Mourinho: "..."

Are you blocking me here?
