Restricted Superstar

Chapter 631: Friends (Part 2)

Mourinho has never been a magnanimous person. It is a bit overwhelming to say that he must repay him, but his grievances are clear.

Before the decisive battle between Barcelona and Inter Milan, Guardiola exposed his old bottom and attacked his self-made taint, which made Mourinho very angry.

Guardiola and Mourinho were actually very restrained during the two rounds of war of words in the group stage, and now Guardiola is almost equal to a ginseng rooster, Mourinho will certainly not be polite.

That night Mourinho held a press conference at the Pinetina training base to counter Guardiola.

The madman sarcastically said: "Up to now, there are three types of coaches. A small number of coaches have never talked about referees; there are also a large number of coaches who criticize referees when they make huge mistakes after the game. We are one of them. Now, after Guardiola announced those remarks, we have entered the third new era. This type of coach’s team only includes him, and he criticizes the referee before the game. This is me in the world football team. He is a unique coach. In Guardiola’s first season as Barcelona’s coach, he was caught in the outrage at Stamford Bridge. From then on, when the referee made the right decision, he Not happy, Barcelona is used to putting pressure on referees to gain benefits. Barcelona is a big club and a representative of artistic football. They have this influence. Inter Milan is small and weak, but we will never give in to our opponents. We will fight against unfairness until football becomes fairer and more beautiful."

Before the game, many media in Europe believed that the battle between Inter Milan and Barcelona was a "semi-final at the final level." In this regard, Mourinho pointed out: "I don't want to talk about this issue. This is just the semi-finals. Who wins will go to the final. The final will be held in Madrid. The final will not be Inter Milan vs. Barcelona. The final will be Inter Milan or Barcelona, ​​against Manchester United. Or Lyon. Manchester United and Lyon deserve respect because they have reached the semi-finals like us. Lyon eliminated Real Madrid and a French Ligue 1 team. It is not easy to eliminate teams from the same league in the Champions League; Manchester United has One of the best coaches in the world, so we can’t say that today’s game is at the final level."

Has Mourinho been studying how to beat Barcelona in the past six months? Mourinho pointed out: "I didn't watch Barcelona's video for a minute for four and a half months at the beginning of the season. But in the past three weeks, I have not only studied all of Barcelona's game videos for the past two years, but also watched Barcelona games live. "Then Mourinho teased Guardiola again: "Someone can get the sixth crown by watching the movie and playing the game, but we can only work hard. This is the difference."

Next, Mourinho talked about some of Barcelona’s core players: "Puyol? I think he is the same as Puyol who worked with me ten years ago. He looks only years old, not 31. , He has the same passion and enthusiasm. Messi? Some people say that he has changed positions, so it is unstoppable. But we must first figure out what position he will play tomorrow. He may play the right or the left , Maybe play center like Real Madrid, or play behind Ibrahimovic like Arsenal. He is an important player, but for me, football is not a man-to-man game. One man to defend Messi, ten people It’s not my culture to target ten other people. This is an 11-man vs. 11-man game. Of course, Messi deserves special treatment because he is a special player, but we also have a special player, Gao Xiaodong, he can play a huge role in any position. In the history of football, only Beckenbauer has played a similar role."

Before the match, European public opinion generally believed that Barcelona was the favorite to win. Mourinho pointed out: "In the group stage, Barcelona showed a very strong level against us. We did not have the state to compete with them. . But it was in November. They are in the same form as they were then, but we are in a much better form than we were in November. I don’t want to offend anyone, but I think it’s a 50 vs. 50 match."

Then Mourinho pointed out that compared to the Inter Milan that lost to Barcelona 0-2 in November, Inter Milan has now improved. "The physical conditions are the same as then, but obviously, the team is more compact in tactics. , And the mentality of playing in the Champions League is completely different. The psychological situation of the team has been greatly different. In the past, we have never won in an unprecedented way like this year. Now we have achieved five consecutive victories. We are very happy to be able to play in the Champions League semi-finals, not afraid. In the group stage, we played a good game with Barcelona at home. I think if we give Barcelona too much possession, we have already lost In the away game in the group stage, we lost, so I have been studying, trying to figure out where our mistakes were."

The Spanish reporter talked about Real Madrid. Real Madrid obviously does not want Barcelona to participate in the final in Madrid, and it is rumored that Mourinho will be the coach of Real Madrid next season. Does this mean Mourinho will have extra motivation? Mourinho pointed out: "I think Real Madrid's lineup is too luxurious to bear the loss without a championship. Therefore, Real Madrid should focus on whether they can win the championship, not the problem of other teams. As for me, I am the Inter Milan coach, and I and Inter Milan has a contract. Real Madrid has a coach, an excellent coach, so we can’t talk nonsense. There are many things in the football world, truth, half-truth, lies. And I need to play league, cup, Champions League, every three There is a decisive game every day, so I can only be nervous about Inter Milan’s future and cannot talk about other things."

Finally, Mourinho talked about the benefits of Barcelona’s schedule. “It’s not always advantageous to play away first. When I led Porto to win the Champions League, I played at home first. We were all first against Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo. Playing at home. Later, when I coached Chelsea, I played at home first in the semifinals. Only against Barcelona, ​​we played away first, and then we lost. At Inter Milan, we played first against Chelsea, CSKA Moscow and Barcelona this year. At home. The road to the Champions League final will never be smooth."

When it comes to playing football, the superstar Guardiola is very different from the semi-professional Mourinho, but in terms of war of words, Mourinho, a translator proficient in eight languages, can throw Guardiola into the Atlantic.

When Inter Milan coach Mourinho called Guardiola an alternative and unique coach and liked to criticize referees before the game, Guardiola was very angry. He immediately called a press conference to counterattack: "This is Inter Milan's territory. Rinho is the boss here and the boss. He is the most knowledgeable in this world. I never wanted to compete with him. I don’t want to play a game like this because I don’t know how to play. Let’s see on the court tomorrow, but he has won off the court. He has always been the winner of the off-court contest, but we have to see who can win the game on the court."

Guardiola directly exploded the foul language, which also means that the good friends of the year have now completely torn their faces and become a pair of rivals. 8)
