Chapter 791 Selection

Second-rate Asian!

Mourinho's words were quickly reprinted by media around the world and caused a lot of discussion.

In China, most media and fans have expressed support for Mourinho's positioning. Over the past decade, the Chinese team itself has no strength to become the first-class Asian, and it is a trend to fall into the third-class Asian. In the past, wasn't even Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore unable to win? Now, the level is not much better. If Liu Hao had not emerged, the Chinese team would not even have to think about the Asian Cup championship. Now it is very likely that it has been eliminated in the top 40 of the World Cup qualifiers and would not have reached the present.

"Murinho did not compliment Chinese football. He objectively evaluated the strength of the Chinese team. He did not have too ambitious and boasted. He knew that he was coaching a team of a level. He was not as aimless as his predecessor Perrin. Just over a month before he took office, he sent someone to carefully inspect Chinese players. Although today was his first press conference, he was ready." Sports Weekly sang for Mourinho, "If even Mourinho could not lead the Chinese team to achieve good results, there would never be a second on this planet. We have reason to believe that he could bring something new to the Chinese team. Even if there was not much improvement in technology, at least Mourinho led the team's iron blood, courage and other qualities will definitely be integrated into the national team. Those players who used to be lazy and just wanted to go through the motions of the national team and those who came in with relationships can now be covered and left."

It seems to be in order to cooperate with Mourinho and the reform of the national team. The words of the Sports Weekly are quite straightforward and pure, which is a strong signal sent to the outside world.

"After several years of development and precipitation, there are more players available for Mourinho to choose from now on, and the selection range is wider. Mourinho's criteria for selecting people will never be judged by fame. He will only look at the players' status and attitudes. Players with good attitudes will definitely be given priority. Those players who are used to being big names in domestic clubs must change their attitudes. Mourinho would rather recruit Liang Zhao as a substitute in the Portuguese Super League! And the first place was left to him, not others."

In recent years, in the forward position, Gao Lin, Wu Lei, Yang Xu and others generally occupy the starting position of the national team, so everyone is usually used to the three of them, but Mourinho's first choice is Liang Zhao. Among these four, Liang Zhao is the strongest and also in line with Mourinho's usual team style.

Among the four, Liang Zhao was the worst in his career. Which other person is not a big-name star in the country?

"There are still a group of young people who are training in Europe. Maybe Mourinho will bring some of them into the team. After all, there is still one year before the World Cup finals." Although it is still only the top ten games, the tone of the Sports Weekly is that it is already playing in the World Cup finals...

However, some foreign media still satirized Mourinho.

French team newspaper said: "I positioned the Chinese team as second-rate in Asia early on. Are you making excuses for the future get out of class being dismissed? After all, Mourinho has never led such a team that is so bad..."

"The Chinese team only has more money. If you want to count good players, you will worry about Mourinho's head. However, if you have money alone, you can't spend money on people like the club. This is not Mourinho's style. In the final analysis, the reason why Mourinho dares to lead the Chinese team is simply because of Liu Hao's existence. As long as Liu Hao is there, his bus tactics can be fully implemented. Perhaps there is no more suitable tactics than Liu Hao. At that time, he will definitely station troops in the backcourt, and then let two or three people rush in the back. Finally, Liu Hao will complete the final kill..." The team reported a natural attitude and analyzed Mourinho's tactics...

※※※※

This certainly made Mourinho very embarrassed!

But Mourinho naturally wouldn't really take this so-called face into his heart. After all, everyone in the world knows what tactics he is playing! Even if he led the very powerful Real Madrid back then, he only used defensive counterattack tactics. Now he leads the Chinese team, he naturally won't have any special tactics to think about, let alone offense.

Of course, Mourinho still has his own uniqueness, just like this time he recruits people, for the sake of safety, he is half a newcomer and half an old person.

He has brought all the newcomers who have emerged in the Chinese arena in recent years, and he has not given up on those old people who have stabilized their morale.

In the first training class, Mourinho did not play with the 23 players, except for one sitting on the bench, he directly divided into two groups for confrontation training. The grouping was also very simple, with the older ones vs. the younger ones!

But there is an exception, that is, Liu Hao, who is divided into the group of junior grades.

He, Liang Zhao and Liao Lisheng formed the frontcourt trident!

"Will this be the starting lineup against Australia on the weekend?" There were already reporters talking on the spot. After all, wherever Liu Hao appeared, he should represent where the main force was.

What's more, Mourinho personally guided the young side's offensive and defensive tactics, and on the other hand he handed over to his old friends who had been with him for many years to command. As for Pirlo, he has not been involved in the work for the time being, but has just followed Mourinho silently, and has quickly adapted to the new role.

Didn’t Mourinho also follow Van Gaal as a small character?

"It depends on the comparison. If the effect is not good, Mourinho will not play like this. He is a very pragmatic coach. Now he may be deliberately putting some pressure on the old players to let them know his selection criteria. I will look at it for a while and the old players will definitely do their best to do it with the young players. This is completely different from when Perrin was in the past. In the football world, no matter how big a player is, there is no big Mourinho, and young players also want to get on the top. This confrontation is definitely very exciting!" This guy who has different opinions from the reporters looks a bit familiar. If you don't pay attention, you may think he is a media reporter or an ordinary fan, but if someone has a deep understanding of Chinese football, you will definitely remember that he is actually a very special player.

Quleheng…

I don't know why he came here today.

When it comes to Qu Leheng, there are so many things. Fans across the country should know about him and Zhang Yuning back then, so I won’t talk about it here.

There must be a reason why he appears here today, this is a later story. I won’t say it for the time being.

The reporter did not recognize him at this time and continued to talk to him.

"So that. Will the two teams really do it in a while?"

"Absolutely, the game will be starting from the beginning, I hope there will be no terrible injuries!"

Sure enough, as Qu Leheng said, at the beginning of the competition, both sides started to fight with real guns, and the old players went straight into the state and quickly gained the advantage in the scene.

The young players may not have a good mentality and are suddenly passive...

Mourinho and Pirlo stood on the sidelines and kept watching quietly, not knowing what they were thinking.

Liu Hao was completely isolated in front and could not echo the teammates at all. Liao Lisheng, who was the best at picking up the ball, fell frequently and had no chance to organize the ball after picking up the ball.

The coach who played the referee temporarily did not call the other party for a foul. Although Liao Lisheng protested on the court, it had no effect...

Cai Huikang, who was focused on Mourinho's position in the back midfield, was very active, constantly putting out fires from behind. Although the entire defense line was in chaos, it was all together. In addition, although the old players attacked sharply, their footwork was too smelly and they still couldn't break through the goal.

In fact, after more than ten minutes of the game, Mourinho basically felt at ease...

Chaos! Anxious! A mess!

If it were the team he coached in the past, he would definitely scold him on the sidelines and scold him as a mess, but now his team is not a European giant, but a very nasty team, and he would not have asked for too much.

What he needs to do now is to pull the general from the short ones! To find 11 relatively good soldiers to fight against Australia, 10 very obedient and desperately hard-working players plus Liu Hao to fight.

The original Perlan style was something he wouldn't want, and his style was completely different!

So Mourinho lets them play casually on the court!

Of course, Liang Zhao still made his eyes shine. After all, Liang Zhao is a player who plays in a high-level European league. The ball that Liao Lisheng can't hold is different when it comes to him. He can protect the ball and give it to his teammates, which is already very powerful!

As a center, isn’t this the job you need to do?

Liang Zhao's matchup is naturally Gao Lin, and Gao Lin is also very stable in taking the ball, but he doesn't have the fighting spirit of Liang Zhao! This may be the biggest difference.

The players on the court didn't know that Mourinho gave the quota for a center after such a simple comparison...

Gao Lin may faint in the toilet after the game.

While Mourinho and Pirlo were whispering on the sidelines, Pirlo had already recorded the number No. 18 in his pen, which was exactly the jersey number of Liang Zhao in this qualifiers!

Of course, there is a No. 10 in front of 18, which must be Liu Hao. Liu Hao doesn’t need to consider it at all, so he is not within the scope of investigation.

Then, Mourinho asked Pirlo to write No. 5, which belongs to Zhang Linpeng. China Ramos is still very appreciated by Mourinho. I don’t know if Mourinho really filled in the name during the confrontation, or if he had prepared a lot before.

Of course, judging by his personality, it is normal to appreciate China Ramos. Such a sword-bearing guard with both offense and defense is hard to come by, at least within China.

However, these three people are far from meeting his requirements, and he wants at least 11 people!

Soon, Cai Huikang's name was also on the roster. Such an engineer-type player is also a must for Mourinho. This can be the backbone of Mourinho's team. Of course, this does not consider the technical scope.

Then, Zheng Long's name was also on the list. At the same time, Pirlo put a bracket behind Zheng Long, and the brackets contained Liao Lisheng's name. Maybe this means that Liao Lisheng should be Zheng Long's substitute?

Then Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe's names also appeared on the list, but Zhang Xizhe's names were bracketed...

Then, at the end of the half, there were no new names on the list.

During the halftime break, Mourinho made a new adjustment, separating Liu Hao, Hao Junmin, Cai Huikang, Zheng Long, Zhang Linpeng and Liang Zhao in the same group, and the others changed positions.

This is considered a new combination to be examined.

This combination comes out...

The second half was obviously different...

The mixed-up lineup is obviously much more powerful, and it feels like it is smooth in defense or offense.

"If that Liao can be more calm, it will be almost done..." Although Liao Lisheng was on the other side, Mourinho still called his name. Although he seemed a little disappointed with Liao Lisheng, he still hoped that Liao Lisheng could bring him something different.

"But this is unbalanced, and you have to find a guy who can compete more, or two... Artemisia's physical strength is too poor, which is a very serious problem. If you can't keep up with your physical strength, you won't be able to play well. Zheng Long is... Why are Chinese players not good at physical fitness?" Mourinho wondered, the player he finally liked, but his physical fitness is not good, or his health is not good.

Mourinho's requirements are really not high. "Not many midfielders are the most ideal. Does Guangzhou Evergrande have a Ling? Why didn't you see him in this training camp? I remember looking for him at that time."

This is not to ask Pirlo, but another coaching staff member.

"That Ling... is in the suspension period of the national football team."

"I haven't heard of him being suspended in major competitions." Mourinho was a little suspicious.

"It's not that he insulted the fans, but that he was banned by the Football Association."

"This is how? Insulting the fans, being suspended by the Football Association... This reason sounds enough, but there must be a reason for insulting the fans at that time, otherwise why would they scold them for no reason? Communicate with the superiors and let him report to the team. I lack a strong waist now. That kid is good at playing the front midfielder, has body and speed, and also plays with his brain. There are not many Chinese players like this. If he doesn't allow him to report, it would be a pity. I want that guy!"

"But, you know, China's policies are a bit different, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

"I will arrange all the personnel in the contract. You can do it in the afternoon and let that kid fly over." Mourinho has already made preparations, and it is not false at all, and even Ling Zhenbang knows it well.

Ling Zhenbang was indeed suspended by the Football Association for insulting fans in domestic games. These five games are basically the most important game... (To be continued.)
