In the TV screen, Real Madrid's top star Cristiano Ronaldo is surrounded by tourists and fans. The Portuguese has a good attitude and has satisfied some fans' requests for autographs and photo.

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets and walked around with interest. He met a fan wearing a Chelsea jersey calling his name. Mourinho was very happy, hugged him and took a photo.

This was the Real Madrid team who arrived in Birmingham and went shopping at Victoria Plaza in Birmingham the next morning, which caused a sensation at the scene.

Are you still in the mood to go out shopping?

Fang Jue in front of the TV showed a puzzled expression: Is his psychological warfare offensive useless?

Is it because of the pressure that I took the whole team out to relax?

Or, it is indeed not affected by public opinion?

Fang Jue was a little uncertain.

...

"José, this is a good idea. It seems that the players are in good condition and their psychological level has been alleviated." Kalanca said to Mourinho, who is Mourinho's assistant.

When Kalanca was a player, he played for Real Madrid for five years. Later, he coached the Spanish U16 youth team. After Mourinho coached Real Madrid, Mijatovic recommended Kalanca to Mourinho as an assistant.

Mourinho quickly recognized Kalanca's talent, and the relationship between the two was quite good.

Kalanca pays great attention to the players' status. He notices the players' discussions and reports them to Mourinho.

Afterwards, Mourinho canceled the training scheduled for this morning and announced that he would lead the whole team out to go shopping and relax.

After hearing what Kalanca said, Mourinho nodded.

He didn't expect this method to be useful, but Mourinho knew that the whole team was too nervous and he had to relax. Otherwise, let alone the Spanish national derby match against Barcelona, ​​even tomorrow's match against Aston Villa, Real Madrid might be in trouble for self-reason.

That night, Mourinho called his assistants to hold a closed-door meeting.

Everyone finally unified their thinking.

It is naturally impossible to give up the match against Aston Villa, but if the situation allows, we still have to consider the weekend match with Barcelona to prepare for this national derby.

Everyone's ideas are the same: at least two rounds in the Champions League, it is best to win away games. If you can't win, you can also accept a draw. If you can get a away goal at Villa Park Stadium, it's also very good. Take a step back? Even if you lose? It's not unacceptable. Of course? You can only accept a small loss? A small loss is the winner. At worst, you can win back at home.

Mourinho is extremely unhappy about the media hype about the articles of fans named Raul Carlos Manuel Fernando.

He knew these media so much that he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos? How could he make trouble? He did things without any bottom line.

Mourinho also disliked what this so-called famous Real Madrid fan said.

If he hadn't learned that this fan was mysterious, he was indeed a famous fan with the qualifications of Real Madrid? He had often expressed his opinions on some things about Real Madrid? Mourinho almost thought that this was a guy sent to cause trouble in Birmingham.

However, in Fernando's words, Mourinho recognized the view that this season is Real Madrid's best opportunity to break Barcelona's La Liga monopoly and an opportunity that must be seized.

Florentino invited him to Real Madrid? It was to break the hegemony of the popular Barcelona.

Mourinho is bound to win this season's La Liga champion.

But? Mourinho himself did not realize that although he had attached great importance to the league before, his goal was to win the league, but there was no more important in the Champions League or the league? He even insisted on saying what tendencies were there? Mourinho had a more special liking for the Champions League.

But? At this moment, he subconsciously thought about the La Liga more than before, or rather subconsciously thinking about the match against Barcelona.

After determining this strategic tone, the next topic that Mourinho and his assistants discussed was, in tomorrow's game, what kind of lineup will Aston Villa coach Fang Jue line up and what tactics will he adopt?

...

Fang Jue is also holding a meeting with his coaching staff to study Mourinho and Real Madrid.

Participants were assistant coaches Sebalos and Steve Warner, as well as goalkeeper coach Enke.

For Real Madrid, Fang Jue and his assistants conducted careful analysis and research based on information and intelligence.

Although Real Madrid performed well this season, they are still far from perfect, and there is room for improvement in many places.

The most intuitive flaw is naturally defense. He scored 110 goals in 34 rounds, and Real Madrid's offensive firepower is extremely strong. However, Real Madrid's 29 goals conceded shows that Real Madrid's defense is not as solid as a decisive one.

In La Liga, Barcelona, ​​who was just hit by Aston Villa in the Champions League, conceded 25 goals in 34 rounds, four fewer goals than Real Madrid's.

The media has even announced in advance that Valdes will lock in the best goalkeeper honor in advance.

In the Premier League, the league leader Aston Villa conceded 26 goals in 34 rounds. Of course, Aston Villa's 34th round of the league has been postponed.

In the Bundesliga, the league leader Dortmund conceded 23 goals in 31 league rounds.

In the Serie A, the league leader Juventus conceded 18 goals in 33 rounds.

The defenses of the leaders of major leagues seem to be more stable than Real Madrid.

Take Aston Villa himself for example. With Sendros seriously injured and the team encountered a central defender crisis, he averaged no more goals per game than Real Madrid.

"Real Madrid's defense is not stable, and they even scored two goals by the Greeks at home." Warner said. "Although Real Madrid was rotated in this game, the opponent is very weak, and being scored two goals by the Greeks can also explain some problems."

...

More than ten minutes later, the players came to the conference room and Fang Jue taught the players.

"This season, due to Carvalho's continuous injuries, Mourinho moved Ramos to the center back position to partner with Pepe. The right back is Alberoa, and the left back is basically rotated by Marcelo and Coentraux." Fang Jue said.

"Marcelo has stronger attack power and plays more in games with weak strength, while Coentran seems to be more trusted by Mourinho in defense and has more opportunities when facing strong opponents. Of course, this choice is not absolute, and the coaching staff is still analyzing the greatest possibility." After pausing, Fang Jue continued, "The main problem of this defense line is that Ramos and Pepe are both excellent personal abilities and like to actively grab the game."

"Everyone noticed that these two people fell in love with robbery, which determined that the central defender partners lacked the protection behind their partners.

Therefore, both of these two people have good personal abilities, but they cannot have the effect of one plus one greater than two."

"And on the right, although Aveloa is excellent, his attack power is almost zero, what does this mean..." Fang Jue smiled and pointed Bale's name, "Garrez, listen well, this means that on the left, our defensive pressure is relatively small, and we can calmly attack Real Madrid on the right."

Bell's eyes shine, hehe, hehe, hey, happy.

The others laughed.

"After talking about the defense, let's talk about Real Madrid's offensive end."

"In the midfield and frontcourt, the attack combination led by Ronaldo is powerful. Benzema is in good condition and Kaka's condition has also recovered. There seems to be no problem with their midfield and frontcourt offense, but the problem exists, and the problem lies in the midfield and midfield."

Fang Jue drew a lot of circles on Alonso's name on the tactical board.

"Alonso lacks a trustworthy substitute and plays almost all the games. Once the Spanish international is absent or in poor condition, Real Madrid's offense will lack a sense of direction." Fang Jue said, "In tomorrow's game, this may be one of our breakthrough points."

In fact, last summer Mourinho introduced Turkish talented player Shasin to try to solve this problem, but Shasin's performance at Real Madrid disappointed Mourinho.

The Turks have few opportunities to play, especially their mental outlook, which completely fails to meet Mourinho's requirements.

At this critical stage of the season, Mourinho completely abandoned Shahin and he would rather choose Granero as Alonso's stand-in.

However, Granero's performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad, obviously unable to satisfy Mourinho.

...

the next day.

The entire Real Madrid team set off from the hotel and headed to Villa Park Stadium.

Mourinho is still thinking, he has not made up his mind on the starting lineup until now.

In terms of tactics, Real Madrid has basically determined 4231 as the main formation this season. Even when facing Barcelona, ​​Mourinho dares to line up the attack formation of the frontcourt quartet.

Of course, when necessary, Mourinho will also choose to send three midfielders to stabilize the defense and stabilize the rhythm.

The team's transformation between these two formations is very smooth.

What Mourinho hesitated about now is the choice of the left-back. He has not yet decided whether to send Marcelo or his fellow villager Coentrand.

"Do you think Mourinho will send Marcelo or Coentrane?" Fang Jue asked his assistants in Aston Villa's bus.

"Cointran." Sebasus affirmed.

"Oh? Tell me why."

"Morlinho is a very stubborn person," said Sebalos.

"Hahaha." Fang Jue laughed out loud when he heard this. Yes, he and Sebalos have the same views and tend to think that Mourinho will choose Coentran to start.

Mourinho is indeed very stubborn - for example, he firmly believes that Coentroy is better at defending than Marcelo and is more suitable for strong dialogue.

Fang Jue has conducted research on Marcelo and Cointran.

Marcelo, who had played for wingers, is too keen on offense, and Coentrano's performance is not stable enough.

It seems that if Mourinho chooses Marcelo, Aston Villa has more chances of getting off to Marcelo after he comes up.

However, Fang Jue did not think so after thinking carefully. Marcelo was very fast. Although the Brazilian was keen on assists, his return to defense was not slow.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fang Jue tends to think that Coentran is a soft persimmon, and this Portuguese has a fluctuating state and is not strong enough in psychological quality.

Therefore, Fang Jue hopes that Mourinho will choose Cointran.

On Aston Villad's right, Mane, Kyle Walker, Suarez or Abanglaho in front of him, they attacked Cointran in turn, and even Bale could switch positions to attack here at any time.

Compared with the assist ability is close to zero, but with Aveloa who has a stable defense, Fang Jue believes that his team has a high chance of crying Coentrano.

On the other side, Mourinho opened the file bag and wrote Cointran's name on the one where the names of ten starters were already written and one missing.

He still thinks that Coentran is more reliable in the strong dialogue, at least as of now.
