Chapter 1049 The Enraged Real Madrid General

However, contrary to the players' views, many media like to throw the problem to Real Madrid and create trouble for Real Madrid and Mourinho.

"It's time to defeat the tortoise tactics and beat them at the Bernabeu", the Catalan media "World Sports" cheered Barcelona before the war and satirized Mourinho's tactics.

"For Barcelona, ​​there is no retreat. They must win this league game on Saturday, capture the Bernabeu, and win the standings. Judging from Real Madrid's current state, Barcelona has enough ability to defeat them."

"Daily Sports" continued to point out: "Real Madrid continues to be short of major generals. Arbeloa on the right is still the weakest link defensively. Neymar or Villa should learn from Tottenham's Bale and play on the left. Determined to destroy him, Mourinho will probably have to use the bus again this time, because he has no choice but to use the bus."

Even "Marca" also expressed concerns about Real Madrid: "It's good to be undefeated at home. It doesn't necessarily have to win, but if it fails? Mourinho will lose everything this season. This is the first of four duels. The importance of one game is self-evident, and he should choose the team’s tactics carefully.”

Foreign media also got involved, and Germany's "Bild" was also optimistic about Barcelona: "After nearly a season of dormancy and hard work, Barcelona is completely ready. It is not easy for them to maintain such stability. It seems that they are alone. The preparation for the season is to defeat Real Madrid. Every previous game has been nearly perfect, attack, attack, attack. This is their football philosophy, and Real Madrid has staggered to the present, although they have also been inconsistent. Defeat, but Barcelona is the most powerful opponent and they will give Real Madrid the heaviest blow."

…

In Mourinho's view, these reports are sick.

It took him one season to prove the strength of Real Madrid, but in the eyes of the news media, they still want to step on Real Madrid, just because Real Madrid doesn't play well enough? Just because everyone wants to see Real Madrid lose the game?

On Friday, a strange scene took place in the press conference room of Real Madrid's Valdebebas Sports City: Mourinho and assistant coach Faria attended the press conference together, but Mourinho had a long face. , without saying a word, all questions were answered by Faria.

In fact, at noon on Friday, the Real Madrid club sent a notice to reporters, stating that Mourinho would be absent from the press conference and Faria would be the one to receive the reporters. But in the end, Mourinho appeared in front of reporters again, but faced 48 cameras, he said nothing and remained news silent.

After Real Madrid's press officer announced that Mourinho would only attend the press conference and would not answer questions, Spanish reporters expressed dissatisfaction with Mourinho's silence. Mourinho, who was silent, watched coldly as 30 Spanish media outlets collectively exited the stadium. Only "As" and Economic TV left reporters at the scene. In addition, reporters from France, Italy, Portugal, and Sweden also expressed their gratitude by exiting the stadium. dissatisfied. Journalists who left the venue said they were not protesting against Faria, but were dissatisfied with Mourinho's silence before such an important game.

Faria answered questions from foreign reporters, and half of the seats at the press conference were empty. Mourinho's approach can be said to have offended the Spanish media. He seems to have the courage to burn the boat and lead the team to achieve the best results in 4 games, because it is obvious that once Real Madrid performs poorly, the inevitable consequences await him. It was the verbal abuse of reporters who were dissatisfied with him.

Faria explained: "This is how Mourinho works. He told me that the message he wanted to convey, I can also convey it well." However, Faria did not say what Mourinho wanted to convey. What kind of information.

Faria defended Mourinho and said: "Every time the head coach speaks, everyone makes a big fuss. In fact, we have not spoken out of tune recently. Many people say that Mourinho wants to heat up the national derby, because So, he chose to sit silently to avoid misunderstanding. This is not the first time I have spoken,

This is also how he works. "

Faria denied that Mourinho's "pantomime" was disrespectful to reporters and media. "What the fans want is for Real Madrid to reach its current position. They want to see a coach who works hard every day and a coach who does 100% for the club." A coach who makes a lot of contributions, it doesn’t matter whether the coach talks or not.”

Faria also refused to reveal Real Madrid's starting lineup for Saturday's game. He said it still needs to be determined by the physical condition of the players on the day of the game. "Tomorrow we have to see how the players are, and the players who we think are in the best shape will appear. For such an important game, Real Madrid players do not need to mobilize, we are a team and we are in the exciting final stage of the season. If you are at Real Madrid, you have to believe that everything can be done, and even more so in this situation, team work is the most important."

But in fact, Mourinho has not yet decided on the starting lineup.

It was not until Saturday's final training session that Mourinho made his decision.

Arbeloa has no chance, because Ramos is back and he will appear at the right back position. In fact, Ramos has been playing right back when he debuted in Sevilla, and now he is just returning to his old position. This bank.

When Carvalho was unable to return, Mourinho chose to believe in the young and old combination of Varane and Pepe, and gave up Arbeloa.

As for the midfielder, Alonso is back, but he can only sit on the bench. Las Diarra and Modric can sit in the midfielder position, becoming a barrier behind Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo is still flanked by Ozil and Dee Maria, the forward is Ronaldo.

There is actually nothing new about the 4231 formation, but Mourinho just delayed announcing it.

This may be what makes the national derby so special.

But Barcelona is very open. At the press conference hosted by Guardiola, he announced the starting list early.

Goalkeeper: Valdes

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Puyol, Adriano

Midfielder: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta

Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Neymar

This time, Neymar defeated Villa and appeared in the starting lineup.

Guardiola is very low-key this time...

At the meeting, Guardiola praised Real Madrid: "Real Madrid has the sharpest counterattack in the world. It only takes 4 passes to complete the attack from Casillas' hand throw to the final goal."

"I watched Real Madrid play when I was a kid and they played very well and the game was fascinating. Now, they are definitely in better shape than in the first leg. They are faster, more powerful and have more shots than us. So, for us, It is very difficult for us to control an opponent like this. If you let them do whatever they want during the game, it will be over. There is no doubt that Real Madrid are more likely to win this game, they are the favorites.”

"Barcelona will always lose one day. As for me, with this group of players or the next group of players, they may lose. I remember that their coach has not lost at home for 9 years."

Reporters were very interested in Guardiola’s comments on Real Madrid, “Talk specifically about Real Madrid’s playing style?”

Guardiola had this to say: "I have never seen a team that can counterattack as well as Real Madrid. From Casillas launching the attack to the final striker scoring, they only need 3 or 4 seconds, during which We only touch the ball 3 or 4 times. We can't play this kind of offense. We may be better in positional warfare and passing, but there are no players in the team who can play counterattack, so we need to focus more on Avoid dropping the ball."

"Of course, Mourinho's team has many different ways of playing. When he led Inter Milan, he played at home and away in a completely different way. Now he leads Real Madrid in a different way of playing, but there are some basic and fundamental things that are not there. Change."

"This time we visit the Bernabeu, Real Madrid are the favorites to win. But our goal is to win the league championship, which requires us to strive for victory as much as possible. We are only one point behind them."

When it comes to Neymar entering the starting lineup and Villa sitting on the bench, Guardiola bluntly said: "Neymar has a stronger breakthrough ability. Let him play, let him and Messi solve Real Madrid's two wings together. I think it’s hard for any player to be able to guard them both!”

※※※※

The major European betting companies have given the two teams a tie, believing that they are likely to draw a tie.

However, Spanish folk made an interesting prediction.

A few days ago, the Benalmádena Aquarium announced that two octopuses would make their own predictions about the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. This prediction also attracted a lot of fans and media attention throughout. Perhaps seeing the popularity of Paul the Octopus at the World Cup in South Africa, the Spaniards, who finally returned home with the cup, were also jealous. This time they took advantage of the opportunity of the second round of the century match to launch their own prediction emperor.

Maybe at first glance, these two octopuses don't seem to be anything special. However, they are not small. The names given to them by the aquarium staff are enough to attract attention. They named the Mediterranean octopus weighing 1.5 kilograms 'Messi', while the other weighed 16 kilograms. The name of the Pacific octopus is 'Dong Fangzhuo'.

When the prediction begins, the staff puts the octopus into a specially made aquarium. After some cruising, 'Messi' actually climbed onto the glass test tube with the Real Madrid label on it, which meant that it was betting on its rival to win; and 'Dong Fangzhuo', who weighed 16 kilograms, made a difficult decision. It did not choose any side, which means that the two teams are tied. It seems that "Dong Fangzhuo" is a little pessimistic...

This incident was quickly posted on major news websites, and was also reprinted on websites as far away as China. Chinese fans left messages on it.

"Dong Fangzhuo doesn't know the choice? That's nonsense!"

"Barcelona fans must be overthinking it. Bet on Real Madrid for a sure profit!"

"The betting company is trying to lure you in. In fact, Real Madrid's advantage at home is too obvious. Want a draw? Dong Fangzhuo won't agree."

All major television media in the world came to the game early to provide commentary.

Many TV stations like to interview fans before games. At this time, a reporter from Spanish Channel 5 caught a fan wearing a Barcelona uniform and asked:

"Who do you think is better, Messi or Ronaldo?"

"In my opinion, Messi will one day become a legend like Pele and Maradona, while Ronaldo is more like a track and field athlete."

It's time to avoid talking about Dong Fangzhuo and instead discuss Messi and Ronaldo. The two are currently competing fiercely on the scorer list and both want to compete for the league's top scorer.

"Messi can do anything this season, while Ronaldo is just a pie-taker. Messi can create opportunities for himself or for his teammates, but what does Ronaldo have?"

"Every goal Messi scores is an art, quite technical, and Ronaldo's goals are no different from anyone else's goals. He is just a simple shooter."

Cristiano Ronaldo was despised by Chi Guoguo, but he still broadcast live around the world.

Unfortunately, this interview happened to be played in Real Madrid's locker room.

Originally, Mourinho wanted everyone to watch TV and feel the atmosphere of the national derby in advance. Who knew that the scene would be so embarrassing.

"Idiot." Dong Fangzhuo cursed.

Ronaldo's face was also very ugly. He was so humiliated. Where could he put his face?

"It's too much to bully someone."

"They always think that playing the ball beautifully is the best football in the world. But we must tell them again today that only victory is the best!"

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the reporter caught another Barcelona fan asking.

"What do you think the outcome of this game will be?"

The Barcelona fan gave him a slap.

"I think only 5:0 can make me feel comfortable!"

"Why?"

"Because we want revenge!"

revenge?

Thinking too much!

"We're going to continue to give them a slap in the face."

"These stupid fans really think this is Camp Nou? What on earth are they thinking..."

In the Real Madrid locker room, Real Madrid players were also angered.

As a result, the reporter asked again, "Do you think Guardiola's football philosophy is better, or Mourinho's football philosophy?"

"Of course it's Guardiola's,"

"What if Mourinho coached Barcelona one day?"

The fan immediately said, "Oh my God, don't do this. Then Barcelona will be finished. Just think about it, 11 turtles are hiding in the backcourt to defend. Is this still Barcelona? Anyone can coach Barcelona, ​​but he can't, no matter who he is." At Chelsea, Inter Milan or Real Madrid, I feel that although he has achieved achievements, this is not real football. I would rather not have such ugly and ugly football!"

Too much.

Mourinho had his back to the TV screen, but everyone could feel his anger because his shoulders were shaking violently.

The fists crackled.

But from beginning to end, he didn't say anything...
