Chapter 38: Mourinho's Stubbornness
Sure enough, Mourinho did not question his self-confidence.
Li Ao's one-on-one defensive ability has been reflected a lot in daily training, and Mourinho also discovered it in the Champions League last season.
In Bayern Li Ao is used a lot as an offensive player, so Li Ao does not often show his ability in defense. But no one dares to deny his defensive ability, especially one-on-one defensive ability.
Being able to freeze Messi in the Champions League final, Li Ao has already demonstrated his own strength.
So he said that, and Mourinho didn't think there was anything wrong.
Moreover, the defense on the side is simpler than the defense on the center. There are not many directions for the side player to choose, and the defender can easily judge his plan. In this way, the success rate of stealing the ball will be high, which is not surprising. .
What's more, Li Ao's interception was really beautiful. Taking advantage of Sterling's sudden stop and his body still had no chance to fully recover due to inertia, he rushed forward and stabbed the football.
This timing is very well grasped, and it will not have this effect if it is earlier or later.
Li Ao's explanation is very reasonable and impeccable.
Is this how to convince Mourinho 447?
Mourinho had a straight face, without any emotional fluctuations on his face: "You are very good. But you still have to be suspended."
Li Ao was surprised: "Why?"
"First of all, you have to be clear that I am the head coach of this team, not you."
Mourinho pointed to Li Ao and said, "Here, I have absolute authority. Secondly, your gamble is right this time, but what about the next time? Can you guarantee that every time you make an arbitrary decision, it will be successful?" ?”
"I admit it's a bit of a risk...but in football you can't always stick to the rules, you have to take a little risk!
"Yes, there is always a risk, but not at this time. It is when you have to."
In fact, Mourinho is indeed a bit conservative in his bones.
Although his risky moves are no less than Li Ao's, he often chooses to replace a guard after being sent off and trailing in the score, and replaces a striker to increase the attack, and he has done so several times in a row.
However, as he himself said, these gambles were made only under unavoidable circumstances.
If everything was normal, he would not have chosen such a progressive approach.
"If you have to take risks as a last resort, it's already too late!"
Li Ao retorted.
He doesn't want to push himself into a desperate situation every time, and then expect the small universe to burst out, once or twice will work, and everyone will feel aesthetic fatigue every time...
Mourinho shrugged: "That's your opinion, but now I'm the manager, so you have to listen to me.'
A wave of anger welled up.
Li Ao finally controlled his emotions.
It is said that Mourinho is not a good head coach to get along with, and now he can be regarded as realizing it.
No wonder that no matter where Mourinho goes, people have trouble with him..
But now he is no longer the bloody young man he was before. Now that he wants to play in someone else's team, there is no need to get stuck with the head coach.
He took a deep breath, and then bid farewell to Mourinho, that is, out of the doctor.
After Mourinho watched him leave, he turned on the video recorder, dug out the video tape of the match between Liverpool and Manchester United from the file cabinet, and inserted it into the video recorder.
He fast-forwarded to the scene where Li Ao scored the second goal, and stared carefully at the TV screen.
Luke Shaw really seemed hesitant to push up, but Valencia rushed forward very quickly.
Luke Shaw is new and cautious about the authority of the head coach, but what about Valencia?
Valencia, as a Manchester United veteran, is obviously not afraid of himself as the head coach
Has Li Ao even considered these things?
At first he felt that Li Ao was lying and talking nonsense.
but now……
In his heart, he had to believe that what he said might be true...
Li Ao gave him a special tactical lesson.
Manchester United's (cdfc) lunch is settled in the restaurant at the Carrington base. Since Mourinho came to Manchester United, he has asked the team to have lunch together, and unless there are special circumstances, this rule is not allowed.
This is Mourinho's main method to enhance the cohesion of the team and make everyone feel that the team is a team, not a mess.
He did the same at Inter Milan, and he did the same at Real Madrid.
When Li Ao was in Bayern Munich, he had lunch at his own discretion, where he wanted to eat, and how he wanted to eat. He could eat in the team restaurant, or go home, and even meet A few friends went to a restaurant to eat.
At Manchester United, he couldn't do this, he had to eat in the base restaurant with his teammates.
Before the meal, everyone saw that Li Ao went to look for Mourinho, and they could all guess what he was doing to look for Mourinho.
Throughout lunchtime, everyone was guessing what the outcome between Li Ao and Mourinho would be.
Many people firmly believe that it is impossible for Li Ao to convince Mourinho, so the suspension of the three of them is a certainty, nothing to say.
Now Li Ao appeared in the restaurant, holding a plate to eat in front of the buffet counter, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Then he took the dinner plate and sat next to Luke Shaw.
The first thing Li Ao said after sitting next to Luke Shaw was: "I went to the head coach just now, but I didn't persuade him to change his mind. We won't be able to play the next Champions League match. I'm really sorry... ..”
Luke Shaw shook his head with a wry smile.
It's all like this, what else can he say.
He can only express himself desperately in training now, hoping that Mourinho will not have any prejudice against him.
"Forget it, there's nothing more to say
The two buried themselves in the meal. After a while Valencia sat down with a tray.
"Hey Chu. Hey Luke Shaw."
He greeted Li Ao and Luke Shaw.
The two also saluted him back.
"How did your talk with Mourinho go, huh?"
Valencia leaned forward and asked.
Li Ao shook his head helplessly: "I still have to be suspended by the team......"
Valencia raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, we have all discussed it. It is impossible for Mourinho to change his mind. He is very stubborn."
Valencia is not worried about being suspended. He is not as terrified of his status in the team as Shaw Shaw.
Li Ao patted Luke Shaw on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I think you should just be suspended for one game, nothing serious will happen."
Li Ao comforted Fat Xiao.
He analyzed it himself, and felt that this should be the case. After all, he was the principal offender, while Valencia and Luke Shaw were the accomplices, and Luke Shaw didn't press too much at the time.
So maybe I will be punished severely, but Luke Shaw and Valencia should have nothing.
