Chapter 145 Final opponent, Deschamps
In Pinto's office, Mourinho sat across from the team's big boss.
It stands to reason that the team has won the league and cup championships this season, and the championship parade celebration will be held, but because the team also reached the final of the Champions League, the celebration will be postponed.
"Of course I want to hold the three celebrations together." Pinto laughed.
"For sure, we will beat Monaco and win the Champions League this season."
Pinto's eyes sparkled, as if seeing a large sum of money, the Champions League champion, doesn't that mean money?
Not to mention the bonus income, what is more important is the improvement of the team's reputation.
Thinking of this, Pinto suddenly changed the topic.
"Jose, are you leaving the club?"
Mourinho's heart skipped a beat, but then he thought about it, if he still can't see it by this time, he must be a fool.
Silence was an admission, and Pinto asked with a smile, "Where is my next home? Don't worry, I won't say anything."
"Chelsea or other teams, but Chelsea approached me, I did not agree, I will not deal with personal matters until the end of the Champions League final."
Pinto spread his hands, "How much I want to keep you, even if I give you half of the bonus, it doesn't matter, but I also know the rules of the football world. We are not rich, we can only train talents for rich."
The football world is a pyramid. Later Porto was known as a black shop, and they were happy to do so. This is the way for non-rich teams to survive, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"If you had to take three players from Porto, which three would you choose?"
Mourinho picked up again in his heart. It stands to reason that it is very unethical to poach corners from his old club.
But maybe Porto is different, or the whole of Portuguese football is different. After all, in a country with a population of 1000 million, it is also a good thing for the country for players to go to the European continent to exercise.
From Figo to Ronaldo, didn't they all go to the five major leagues to become superstars?So Mourinho said after communicating: "Carvalho, Deco, Li Qiao."
"Haha, a little unexpected, I thought you would bring McCarthy."
"Hehe, of course I want to, but you said you can only bring three, so..."
"Haha."
Pinto stretched his hand across the table, "Jose, let's announce all this after the final, and... if you want to recruit someone from Porto in the future, I will increase the money."
"Isn't it a discount?"
"Haha, of course it's impossible. Under the same conditions, I will give priority to your competitors."
"Hehe, profiteer."
*****
Didier Deschamps.
The feats of French football, the 1998 World Cup is second only to Zidane's hero, and now the head coach of Monaco.
He is very similar to Mourinho, both are excellent young coaches, but there are many differences between the two.
The biggest difference is that Didier Deschamps was brilliant as a player, but Mourinho...
The Ligue [-] has ended, so Deschamps took his team to Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where the final will be held early.
There is Schalke 04, a strong German team, and this time Monaco borrowed Schalke's training base. The Bundesliga has ended, and this is not a problem for Schalke.
Reporters came to Gelsenkirchen one after another, and Deschamps was open to the media.
It may be that this season is a miracle, and generally weak teams are willing to be exposed under the spotlight.
In the semi-finals, Monaco had two battles with Chelsea before reaching the final, which was not easy.
Deschamps accepted a brief interview with the media, and then led the team to train. He has won the World Cup, and his ambition is very big. If he wants to become the coach of the Champions League champion, he can boast for a lifetime.
*****
Mourinho did not go to Germany so early, but continued training in Porto. On the one hand, the conditions here are very good, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid the entanglement of reporters.
Mourinho and his assistant Morais are studying their opponent Monaco. In fact, Monaco's tactics are a bit trendy-433.
In the World Cup in Russia 10 years later, 433 is the most fashionable formation, but there are actually not many teams using 433 at this time.
"I think Deschamps is very thoughtful," Mores said.
"Of course."
Monaco's center uses the Spaniard - Morientes.
The right wing is the French fast horse Giuly.
On the left is also a fast horse - Luo Teng.
The three midfielders are three giants, the kind of saboteurs. They are Chikos from Greece, Bernardi from Argentina, and Eduardo Cisse from France. How powerful are these three shovels?
Chelsea's midfielder is one of the toughest in Europe, but it is not as good as Monaco's midfielder, which is evident.
The back line has Evra, who was later famous, and their goalkeeper is an Italian goalkeeper named Roma.
"In fact, the biggest feature of Monaco is the balance of offense and defense, especially defense." Mourinho said.
"We have to fight for the first goal."
Mourinho nodded.
In fact, in the UEFA Champions League final in the previous life, many media commented after the game that this was a game where whoever scored first would win the championship.
Because the two teams are teams without rich backgrounds, then psychology is a very important factor for the championship. Whoever loses the psychological level may lose the whole game.
Morais pointed to Morientes on the computer screen, "Keep an eye on the Spaniard, and we're halfway there."
"No, we have to master the midfield. Don't think that Monaco's three midfielders can only do dirty work. Look at their statistics."
Morais found out at a glance that, taking the Greek Zikos as an example, he actually had both goals and assists in the league.
Morais looked at Mourinho in surprise.
"Hehe, don't be surprised. This is what I really mean. Didier Deschamps selects players with a balanced offense and defense. It is impossible for him to use players who can only attack or defend."
"This may be related to Didier's own playing career. When he played by himself, he was a midfielder who could attack and defend well."
"But controlling the midfield? Chelsea can't beat Monaco."
"We have Deco and Li Qiao, why should we play hard with our opponents, we can play soft."
"technology?"
Mourinho nodded, "This time we have to control the ball at our feet. Playing Monaco is like playing Benfica. We don't need to have any cowardice in our hearts."
That's true, and Morais also understands that when competing with AC Milan and Real Madrid, the team is naturally weak psychologically, but it doesn't need to be compared with Monaco. Everyone has the same status in the arena.
"Some people say that we played very Italian in the knockout round. So good, I will play like Portuguese football this time."
