585. Quarterfinals first round 1

In London, Mourinho's residence, before he finished watching the game, Mourinho threw away the remote control in his hand.

In fact, he only watched the Manchester City Derby for more than 30 minutes. After the Rangers game, when he returned home, the half-time game between the two Manchester City champions had passed. He used the half-time break to watch the playback of the first half. The competitive state shown by Manchester United made him feel that Manchester City might also encounter great problems today, and he was still very happy at that time.

But who knew that the second half would take a sharp turn, Manchester City scored a goal, Manchester United equalized, and Manchester City scored another goal. Mourinho saw Manchester United being unable to succeed, and he knew that it was inevitable that Manchester City would humiliate Manchester United at Old Trafford.

"There is another offside goal. The referee has helped you like this. Are you not good enough?!" Mourinho complained to his teacher Van Gaal.

"Roonie is not good either! It doesn't seem like he has performed much! Fortunately, we didn't buy him!" Mourinho also secretly glad that Rooney didn't come to Chelsea in the end.

He felt this way because of this game, but because Rooney's performance throughout the season was far from Mourinho's expectations. After watching this game, this idea arose.

80 million pounds. If Rooney really comes to Chelsea and does not perform well, Mourinho understands that how many media will mock him!

"Have you watched Manchester City's game?!" Mourinho called his assistant Faria.

"I'm watching, it's coming to an end! They are leading Manchester United 3-1, and they scored another three-pointer in this game!" As Mourinho's close assistant, Faria, also watched the game at home.

Faria is Chelsea's first team assistant coach and Mourinho's most reliable assistant and disciple. Faria is a fitness coach. When he was in Porto, he was inseparable from Mourinho. After leaving, he worked with Real Madrid in Inter Milan and now returns to Chelsea. Of course, Faria and Mourinho first met in Leria, who now let the former be a video analyst; it should be pointed out that Faria has done far more than fitness coaches and video analysts. He often serves as a driver for Mourinho, and the two have been together for about 15 years.

Mourinho's coaching team at Chelsea are not all his own subordinates, which is very different from Wen Sheng. Stark, Huland, Lolicon and others in his team are not those who have followed Mourinho for too long.

Wen Sheng was brought to Manchester City from Crystal Palace, and only Brian was left by his former Manchester City team.

So in private, Mourinho is more willing to talk about life with his close partners, such as Faria and Lulo.

"Can they always win?!" Mourinho seemed to be asking.

"Don't worry, Jose! If they can keep winning, can't we?!" Faria really dared not say that Manchester City could not keep winning.

"What's more, they are about to usher in the Champions League, and they may lose their chain next weekend!" Faria added.

"I can't say they are getting braver the more they fight!" Mourinho smiled. "There are not many things worthy of my appreciation in the literature, but at least one thing must be admitted that he is very good in the management team. He did a very good job in Crystal Palace or Manchester City before. There is no need to doubt their tenacity!"

......

Manchester City has really reached the turning point of the season. In the middle of the week after Manchester United's game, Manchester City welcomed Bayern Munich at home.

The world is always full of coincidences. Last season, two teams also met in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and Manchester City finally won the Champions League, given the outstanding strength of the two teams.

Some people in public opinion also said, "The winner between them will most likely win the Champions League!"

Wen Sheng said at the pre-match press conference: "We and Bayern Munich are indeed popular! I admit that we have the ability to win the championship, but don't forget Messi and Ronaldo's existence. Their team is always the contender for the Champions League championship. It's hard to say who the championship is until the last moment!"

Wen Sheng mentioned Messi and Ronaldo mainly to loosen the constraints of his players. He has a lot of pressure on his record recently, and it is not a good thing to be too tight in psychological pressure!

In addition to making tactical arrangements in the past two Tian Wensheng's main work, he also talked to many players. Some people must be dissatisfied with their lack of playing time, and some people are not so happy for various reasons. However, Wensheng tried his best to guide them, and the team's psychologist also helped a lot.

Guardiola is still the same as she dresses very well, and Wensheng doesn't give in too much. On the night of the 15th, he specially wore a black suit.

"I hope today is a wonderful game!" Guardiola and Wensheng's pre-match meeting was very dull. After the two sides exchanged greetings, they simply wished each other good luck.

Turning back, Wensheng waved to the private room in the stands. Tonight Cheryl also brought his daughter Lydia to the scene to watch the game. In addition to their cousin John, he also brought his girlfriend to watch the game.

Wensheng tried hard to calm down his inner emotions. When the game came, he was always in a state of worrying about gains and losses, and he could not comfort himself.

After the game started, he stood on the sidelines and yelled to relieve the pressure on his body.

Wen Sheng knew that Bayern Munich was now away from the Champions League, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He was not persistent about whether he could establish an advantage in the score in this game. The important thing is to not concede the ball.

Adhering to this idea, the tactics he adopted in this game were mainly aimed at limiting Bayern Munich's offense, and tried to ensure that the goal was not lost.

Guardiola has a 433 formation similar to Manchester City in this game. The starting goalkeeper is Neuer, right defender Rafinia, the center back is Boateng and Dante, the left defender Bernat, the midfielder is Ram, Alonso and Thiago, and the forwards are Mueller, Lewandowski and Gotze.

Just looking at the starter, Bayern Munich is actually not much worse than Manchester City. Maybe their full-back is slightly weaker than Manchester City, but Manchester City's Hills has not yet made a comeback, and left-back Wensheng used Milner to play a cameo.

Manchester City players did not maintain the pace of the Premier League after the opening game, but were slower like mainland teams.

Who doesn't know that Manchester City is luring the opponent into the deeper? But what does it matter to them? Guardiola and Bayern Munich have always been good at playing mainly on me. They will still actively put pressure on Manchester City at high levels if they do so.

Wensheng asked the defense line to be closer to goalkeeper Navas, and the defender should run at any time to allow Navas to take the ball, which can lure Bayern Munich to continue moving forward.

On the wing, Wensheng specially placed Costa, a fast player, with the purpose of giving them a little color during the counterattack.
