But it is precisely because there are two crazy coaches who refuse to obey anyone and who don’t want to lose to anyone that the Italian Cup has become interesting and attracted people’s attention.
I have to say, this semi-final draw is very mysterious …
The lottery always wins, no matter who is in front of him, it’s all the same, it’s all a defeat!
The media thought that they wanted to fight for the Italian Cup because Mourinho was in front of them.
But in fact, even without Mourinho, this season’s constant victory will also compete for the Italian Cup.
He likes winning the championship.
Moreover, the schedule of the Italian Cup is very scattered, and it doesn’t cost much energy.
The first leg of the semi-final was held in early February. In the second round, a pole was poked to April 13th.
The final is on May 6th, a far cry from it.
And to win the championship, there are only three more games.
In these three games, the winning streak still holds up.
……
Because both sides were familiar with each other, there was no temptation at all after the game started, and the two teams directly collided fiercely.
Mourinho still sent his squad against Lazio in the last game in midfield.
Three defensive midfielders work as engineers in the midfield for one purpose-to destroy Lazio’s offensive rhythm.
The main thing is that Lazio’s attack can’t be played smoothly.
In this way, Lazio’s threat to Inter Milan will be much smaller.
However, the winning response is very different from the last game: modric retreated to the back waist position, and the two original back waist positions were advanced to the middle and avant-garde position to protect modric. David silva and Gotze retreated and became frontcourt free men, not wingers. The two full-backs actively inserted assists.
These are no different from the last game, the difference is that … the two backyards are in front. In this game, their task is not only to protect modric, but also to launch a counterattack after a direct steal in the frontcourt.
Without going through others, they launched a counterattack on their own and completed a fatal pass.
This requires higher organizational offensive ability of the lower back.
But Chang Sheng believes that ledesma can do it.
Meireles will be worse, after all, he has only been in the team for less than a season, and even the mad dog tactics are still adapting. Unlike his other teammates, they have basically polished the winning tactical system for two or three seasons.
……
In this game, because both sides know very well what tactics the other side will adopt, the competition is actually mainly about the players’ play.
Anyway, everyone’s tactics are open, and everyone knows how I will fight and how you will fight.
Those who should be restrained are also restrained, and then the players will show their strength, such as why the stars are called stars, why some players are worth tens of millions, and some players are worth only two or three million.
The head coach can’t wrap everything up, they can’t think of all the details, design all the routines, and then let the game strictly follow their own designed routines.
Then it’s not a competition, even playing games can’t play like this. When playing games, there will be inevitable goals saved by the opponent’s goalkeeper with his fingertips, and he collapsed at the last moment when he was leading by three goals …
Not to mention a real football that is not controlled by a handle and a mouse.
After the game started, Chang Sheng sat in the position of coach, while Mourinho got up and walked to the sidelines, looking at the stadium.
The different performances of the two head coaches may also explain some problems.
In the record against Mourinho, the winning streak is overall dominant.
Lazio also scored well against Inter Milan.
This makes it easier for Changsheng to face Mourinho’s Inter Milan.
Mourinho, on the other hand, has a dignified expression.
He is under a lot of pressure.
If he can’t break Lazio’s monopoly on the championship, what does Moratti spend so much money to ask him to do?
……
Mourinho didn’t choose to attack in this game. Although Eto ‘o and Milito are both on the pitch, their main task is defense.
Cup matches are not the same as league matches.
In the league, if you draw a game, it’s a draw, just one point.
In the cup, there is no integral, and the comparison is the result.
Even if it is tied, it is necessary to decide the outcome.
The semi-final is a two-round home and away system.
If both games are tied, you have to play overtime, and if the overtime is tied, that’s a penalty shoot-out.
Mourinho played the attention of this penalty shoot-out.
First, try to draw Lazio at home, and then go away to draw Lazio in the second leg.
The score was 0: 0 in 120 minutes, and the total score was 0: 0. The two sides entered the penalty shoot-out.
This is Mourinho’s strategy for winning constantly.
If the penalty shoot-out is a relatively fair way to determine the winner, then Lazio’s passing and running advantages will be lost.
Only the psychological quality and shooting are left.
Mourinho is confident of this.
Moreover, Lazio, who always wins, once played a penalty shootout, which was the semi-final of the Champions League in 2006-2007. As a result, they lost to Bayern Munich in the penalty shoot-out.
The team coached by the winning team lost the penalty shoot-out, with a winning percentage of 0%.
Although it can’t be sure that the winning teams are not good at penalty shootouts, it can at least show that they are not as good as they are in regular time, and that is opportunity.
Even if there is only a 10% chance, it is worth Mourinho’s 100% effort to win.
