.488 Dog jumps over the wall in a hurry

Walk east from Fulham Road where Stamford Bridge Stadium is located, about 10 minutes, and enter the fourth store at the entrance of Langton Street, which is a three-story ancient building. The exterior of the entire store is white, while the doors and windows are all blue.

Through the transparent glass, you can see that the dining table inside is arranged very neatly.

At the intersection of the first and second floors is a row of shop signs, but there is nothing on it. Just above the small door of the shop is an oval sign with the shop sign in Italian - Family.

When Mourinho slowly walked into the street with his slightly tired body, it happened to be around 4 pm, and it was less than meal time. The whole Langton Street looked quiet, with a few cars back and forth, and a few cars parked at the doorstep in the distance.

On the two white bamboo chairs at the entrance of the Italian restaurant, the restaurant employees were joking, waiting for the arrival of a busy meal. When they saw Mourinho, they all waved at the Portuguese madman.

This restaurant came to London and the time Mourinho came to London was very consistent. Interestingly, they all quickly became famous in the city of London. Now their restaurant is the best Italian restaurant in London, and almost all customers need to book to get a location.

Mourinho is one of their most familiar guests here, but he can get some comfort.

"I will definitely not be polite to you this time. If you dare to bully my son-in-law again, I will definitely kill you!" As soon as I got closer, I heard a bang, as if someone had hit the table with his fist.

When the employees were smiling when they saw Mourinho outside the small door and hesitating whether to go in.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mourinho, our boss met an old friend and was in a good mood, but his voice was a little loud!"

Mourinho has been here many times and has also met the owner of a restaurant several times. He seems to be an Italian named Mario with a thick line, but he is not familiar with it. However, it is understandable to see his usual words and deeds.

Like Isolabella, he pushed open the door and heard a bell ringing, which immediately attracted the attention of the two people inside.

The people inside saw that Mourinho also looked in because he found the guy sitting in front of the desk, drinking coffee leisurely, and a middle-aged man who had just experienced a storm.

The latter is Mario, the owner of this Italian restaurant, and the former is Yang Cheng, who has always hated her toothache.

"Hey, such a coincidence?" Yang Cheng flirted at him.

Mourinho was very embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would meet Yang Cheng here, so he forced a smile and had to walk in. After all, they were greeting you, so you avoided it directly?

"Mario, stop talking. Go and prepare something delicious. I'm starving to death!" Yang Cheng ordered directly.

Mourinho was a little surprised at Yang Cheng's tone, because the owner of this restaurant is famous for his strange temper and is very arrogant. No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like the kind of person who is willing to be obedient, so Mourinho feels that Mario is going to get angry.

But what surprised him was that Mario glared at Yang Cheng fiercely and actually went there.

Good, what's going on?

He would never have thought that this restaurant was the restaurant of Gatuso's father-in-law, because Gatuso, a low-key guy, never revealed this, and Mario would not.

Speaking of Mario coming to London to open a branch, there is no reason. He saw that Isola Bella from Tony Viccino became more and more popular, so he decided to open a branch as well. He either didn't open it, and he would open it in London, the largest city in the UK.

This is a market that Isora Bella has never opened. Look, Mario has made a name for herself in London!

The Portuguese didn't know all this. He thought Yang Cheng and Mario were friends, so he didn't ask anything and found a place by the window to sit down.

"Can you sit together?" Yang Cheng walked over with a cup of coffee and asked with a smile.

Mourinho raised his head, "Can you say no?"

"Of course not!" Yang Cheng sat down with a smile, raised his coffee, took a sip, and looked bitter.

It's exactly the same as Mourinho's current face.

"I heard you were fired?" Yang Cheng went straight to the point.

Mourinho has an urge to collapse. Can you be more tactful?

"You believe it if you use nothing to deceive idiots?"

Yang Cheng was almost choked to death. It’s obvious that he criticized me as an idiot? It’s your uncle!

But Caesar was in a good mood today and didn't care about him, "That's good, I'm so worried that you will leave!" He was a little happy in pain.

As an opponent, he really feels that if Mourinho leaves, Liverpool will have much less threats.

"I won't leave until I defeat you!" Mourinho looked serious and his eyes staring at Yang Cheng were full of provocation.

Yang Cheng nodded and smiled, "Many people say that." But what can be done...

Mourinho didn't say anything, and suddenly the two of them had no topics again.

"Do you know what I used to deal with Abramovich just now?" Mourinho suddenly spoke up.

Yang Cheng shook his head, not interested in this.

"I told him that if anyone in this world can defeat you and completely trampled you under his feet, it must be me Mourinho!" He said with a firm and confident look on his face.

Yang Cheng laughed, "I think I should be proud of it!"

But after a pause, he sneered: "But don't you think you're too arrogant?"

Mourinho shrugged, with an expression of you biting me, "I'm not arrogant, but because I understand you, your personality, your strength, your coaching characteristics, and even I dare say I understand almost everything about you."

"Uh..." Yang Chengzhen felt like a waterfall sweat. You said it was so greedy. I am not a woman. Why do you know so much about me?

"Do you think the ideal you pursue is possible?" Mourinho asked suddenly.

What is Yang Cheng pursuing?

The goal is Barcelona at its peak, but in fact what he pursues is always the nearly perfect all-attack and all-defense tactics he remembers, a tactic that is stronger than Barcelona and more in line with the concept of all-attack and all-defense.

Many years ago, Yang Cheng mentioned this to Paul Bayer. Barcelona's tactics are not all attacking and defending, at least incomplete. Over the years, he has been pursuing a tactic that is closer to all attacking and defending than Barcelona.

Hearing Mourinho's question, Yang Cheng became a little serious and nodded, "Of course!"

He regards this as the direction of struggle and moves in this direction.

In Yang Cheng's understanding, all attacks and defenses are not necessarily as high as Barcelona's ball control rate and high pressure, overall coordinated offense and defense structure, fast-paced offense and defense conversion, and creating space all the time. These are all symbols of all attacks and defenses in his heart.

But the most important thing is to be simple.

In this world, the simplest things are often the least easy to be cracked and the least easy to be defeated.

But the simplest thing is actually the most difficult.

The simplest offense, the simplest ball control, the simplest defense, the simplest pass, the simplest...

Remove all the tedious things in football tactics, leaving behind the simplest, most practical and most deadly elements.

Under the overall offensive and defensive framework, there is no fixed position or fixed responsibilities. They echo each other and create space for each other, and the whole operation revolves around the needs of offense and defense.

This is what Yang Cheng thinks is full attack and all defense!

After receiving Yang Cheng's answer, Mourinho shook his head and smiled, "You are wrong. The kind of football you are pursuing is dead. Today's football is a utilitarian world."

Yang Cheng really wanted to refute him because what he is playing is a very ornamental offensive football that is highly appreciated by many people. Moreover, after he came to the Premier League, combined with the advantages of the Premier League style, his entire tactical philosophy has improved again, making him feel that he is getting closer and closer to his goal.

But Mourinho took the lead again.

"You may feel that you are always improving and improving yourself, so you will say, I'm talking nonsense, but I just need to ask you one thing, do you dare to give up everything and gamble?"

After a pause, Mourinho smiled, "You are an admirable idealist, but in fact, you are also a realist. You know better than anyone else that football is a business, league, Champions League, and every game is related to millions or even tens of millions, or even over 100 million euros."

"Anyone who makes a mistake in your decision may cause the club behind you to lose a lot of huge profits. Under such huge economic benefits, can you really achieve complete idealism? Don't say you can, even if you put it all over the world, who can?"

Even Wenger can't do this!

"So, I think we are essentially the same, both for the sake of winning, but our methods and means are different!" Mourinho can finally confirm one thing, that is, Yang Cheng has really had a great influence on him.

He was chasing the path Yang Cheng had taken, but because of his character, understanding of football, as well as his experiences and experiences, he embarked on a football path that was plausible to Yang Cheng. He was more realistic and utilitarian.

If Yang Cheng had not existed, he might have been the head coach who best suited the current football values, but with Yang Cheng, he could only live in the shadow of Yang Cheng, because in everyone's mind, more or less, whether admitting it or not, there will be some idealism and pursuit of good-looking things.

It is precisely this point that Yang Cheng is more popular than him, but the most important point is that he can achieve a good balance between idealism and realism, which not only ensures the ornamentality and artistry of football, but also achieves results.

"It seems that you really understand me!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Mourinho was a little reluctant to admit it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"But I will not give up my ideals and pursuits because of this, and I will even believe that one day in the future, I will definitely realize my ideal."

After a smile, Yang Cheng suddenly asked: "Have you watched the German team's game?"

Mourinho was stunned and didn't understand very much, but he nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

"Where is the German youth team?" Yang Cheng asked again.

Mourinho shook his head, "What the hell do you want to say?"

"I just want to say that Germany's tactics used to be high and high, but now it has evolved to focus more on technology, and the offense has basically been changed to ground cooperation. And all this is based on their consistent physical advantages, team collaborative combat capabilities and tenacious fighting spirit."

"That is to say, Germany is improving, not changing. It is absorbing the advantages of other football styles and eclectic, especially the German youth team. The skillful and creative style of playing make people look forward to their future."

Mourinho was silent because he knew very well that Yang Cheng was behind the scenes of the overall improvement of German football. He was one of the initiators of German youth training reform and was also one of the formulaters of German youth training, which made him have a very high status in German football, especially as his position in European football has improved, his status in the minds of German fans is increasing day by day.

After all, fans in every country have more or less local complexes, and Yang Cheng comes from a German background, and there are very few German head coaches who have succeeded abroad, so many German fans agree with Yang Cheng very much.

A magazine previously proposed that even most German fans agreed that Yang Cheng had become a German nationality, but because Yang Cheng's motherland could only be a single nationality, Yang Cheng finally gave up the opportunity to become a German citizen and chose his own motherland.

Now he uses Germany as an example to prove one thing, that is, different technical and tactical styles are compatible, the key is that you have to find the entry point.

"I'm not as optimistic as you!" Mourinho shook his head.

"I'm not as pessimistic as you!" Yang Cheng shook his head and said.

The Portuguese smiled slightly, "But no matter what, I will definitely knock you down, sooner or later!"

"I'm looking forward to that day!" Yang Cheng spread his right hand and said with a smile, "But at least recently, don't expect a chance to turn things around. You will die miserably this season!"

Just as Mourinho thought of the past two games, the fire in his heart would be like a volcano erupting and he wanted to spew it out.
