Chapter 74 Mourinho’s little thoughts!
After Manchester United defeated Inter Milan 5-0 at home, they reached the Champions League final with a total score of 10-1. This result made Manchester United fans ecstatic. Since losing to Barcelona 1-3 in the Champions League final in 2010-2011, the "Red Devils" have not achieved good results in the Champions League for four years.
Last season, David Moyes caused a very bad disaster to the "Red Devils". Before the start of this season, no one dared to think that Manchester United would have a big explosion this season. Not only did they win the league championship seven rounds ahead of schedule, they won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup final, but now they easily advance to the Champions League final.
Could it be that Simon Grayson is really a champion? He only led Leeds United to win the "Four-Crown Championship" last season. After arriving at Manchester United this season, he actually has hope to compete for the "Four-Crown Championship". If he can do all this, the "brutal Simon" will really become a legend. He led two different teams to win the "Four-Crown Championship" in two seasons. Such coaching results will definitely be Simon Grayson officially became the world's top coach.
After the match against Inter Milan, Simon Grayson gave Shaq a two-day holiday to rest, while the others only had one day off, but no one had any objections to this. Everyone saw how hard Shaq worked in the game, especially when the Northwest Billiards fans hung up the wrong cloth, Shaq was completely crazy and looking for goals, and was just trying his best.
When Manchester United easily prepared for the next 36th round of the Premier League, Shaq, who was still on vacation, was exposed by the Sun. Shaq has a girlfriend again!
A group of photos that came with this news were also taken, which were photos of Shaq and Zong Waner hanging out on the streets. In addition, there were also reporters taking photos of Shaq and Zong Waner driving back to Shaq's mansion together. Zong Waner's unique graceful and pretty beauty in oriental women was emitted through the photos, and it was easy to get the favor of others.
After the news came out, many of Manchester United's female fans said that there was no chance now. The male fans were quite happy...
Shaq has a girlfriend!?
Well, this is actually very normal!
Shaq is 22 years old and is a normal man, and his body is stronger than other normal men. A reporter has taken photos of Shaq entering and leaving nightclubs, and a sexy girl who had a nightclub with Shaq praised Shaq's sexual ability, claiming to have a baby for him, etc. Compared to these messy things, it's great that Shaq has a fixed girlfriend, which is good news that can make his condition more stable.
The reporters continued to explore Zong Wan'er's identity and background, and Shaq didn't care about it. He believed that as long as those people knew that they and Zong Wan'er were married, they would be so angry after a few days of speculation. No star was already married, and his wife would often be discussed.
When Manchester United was preparing for the game calmly, Mourinho brought his Chelsea. As the home team, Simon Grayson announced his team's starting lineup first. Manchester United's main players who had been resting for a while were all on the court. Simon Grayson also considered the team's schedule and made such an arrangement. After playing with Chelsea at home, he would have a away derby against the "Blue Moon" Manchester City, and then he would compete with Tottenham Hotspur for the FA Cup championship.
In Simon Grayson's opinion, the so-called Manchester City derby is not very meaningful. Manchester United has long proved how strong it is. Instead, it is better to arrange the schedule to win a big harvest and win more championships in the final stage of this season. This is the kingly way.
Manchester United's opponent in the Champions League final has come out, and it is Manchester City's arch rival "Blue Moon". It can be said that the most important "Manchester City Derby Battle" this year is not the meeting between two teams in the league, but the competition between the two teams in the Champions League final.
Simon Grayson's plan is to let the main players find the game when playing Chelsea. When playing Manchester City, they use substitutes to consume their opponents. If Manchester City goes all out, their main players will be consumed more, which is beneficial to Manchester United. If Manchester City also plays as a substitute, then Manchester United will win the game and gain more psychological advantages.
Mourinho also saw through Simon Grayson's thoughts. He said at the press conference at the hotel where Chelsea was staying: "Manchester United played with us this time, which is actually very normal. Now I just hope that they can do this when playing against Manchester City. Football matches need fairness."
The Portuguese's words are quite obscure. He is not willing to offend Simon Grayson now. Otherwise, if Manchester United deliberately lets go in the game against Manchester City, the "Blue Army" who has worked hard for a long time this season will eventually be third in the league. Mourinho is not afraid of his team losing to Manchester United, but he is afraid that Manchester United won't try hard when playing Manchester City!
Because Chelsea and Manchester City have reached a point where they are more goal difference, it is likely that in the end that whoever loses against Manchester United decides the final ranking of the two teams, so the "Blue Army" simply set up a defensive formation at Old Trafford Stadium, and playing defensive counterattacks is also what Mourinho is best at.
Mourinho's tactics still achieved good results. In the 45 minutes of the first half, Manchester United, who played at home, had an advantage, but never scored a goal. The score of 0:0 was maintained until the break.
But in the second half of the game, Chelsea really couldn't stand it!
In the 57th minute, Di Maria made a cross from the left. After Shaq attracted Chelsea's heavy troops in the middle, the ball fell into the small penalty area on the right. Nani, who was thrusting from the right, bounced his right foot and the ball flew into Chelsea's goal...1:0!
After conceding the ball, the "Blue Army" still performed very steadily. They insisted on their own defensive counterattack style. Mourinho told them early in the morning that losing less is the winner and losing fewer goals when facing Manchester United is equivalent to gaining an advantage in the competition with Manchester City.
But Manchester United is Manchester United after all, and Shaq is a super scorer who scored 120 goals in 59 games this season, averaging more than two goals per game!
When the game was 82 minutes old, Jose Angel made an assist from the left, and sent a delicate pass at a 45-degree angle. The ball flew over the Chelsea player's head and landed in the penalty area on the right side of Chelsea. Shaq quickly moved sideways to win space for himself. The moment the ball landed, a shot with his right foot, and the ball flew into the goal against the Chelsea's right post... 2:0!
Four paintings fell from the stands on all sides of Old Trafford Stadium. This time no one made any mistakes again, and they all became a unified "121".
Six minutes later, Nani passed the ball forward on the right and scored a low shot with Shaq running in place. The ball was blocked by Cech who was attacking his right foot to the other side. Di Maria, who followed up on the left, scored the first shot and scored. The score also became 3:0!
Mourinho was still a little disappointed in the face of this result. He expressed his regrets bluntly at the post-match press conference: "There is a big gap between us and Manchester United. Although we have done everything we can do, we still lost three goals. This result made it a bit dangerous when we compete with Manchester City for the second place. I hope Manchester United can do their best when playing against Manchester City."
Mourinho's words made people feel sour. But Simon Grayson was really embarrassed when facing this senior. After making the game summary, a reporter asked him if he would do his best during the Manchester City derby. "Brutal Simon" said coolly with a stern face: "How to arrange the team's lineup, our coaching staff has a plan, and this plan will only benefit us Manchester United themselves. As for others... I don't think I should be responsible for the poor record of other teams, right?"
Mourinho, who was sitting next to Simon Grayson, had his cheeks clenched, but he couldn't say anything. Simon Grayson's lineup arrangement was based on the Manchester United schedule. Even if Mourinho got to that position, he would do this. If he had to do it again, he would be too shameless.
Simon Grayson is also brave enough to say and do it. He knows that the Manchester City derby battle is still very important in the hearts of fans, but he used the rotation system at the Etihad Stadium three days later. Manchester United's rotation is actually not completely rotated, because the number of elite policy personnel has dropped sharply, so every player is not a good player in the team. There are almost no chances of appearing like Ashley Yang, but it is just because he was unable to sell during the Great Cleanup.
The Manchester United substitute lineup led by Shaq is actually very strong, but Manchester City sent out all their main lineups in this game because they are not as good as the FA Cup finals, and the team can rest for up to nine days in one go, which is their innate advantage in the schedule.
At the beginning of this Manchester City derby battle, the performance of both sides was evenly matched. The two teams fought back and forth, and they looked very intense and nervous. Amid the cheers of Manchester City fans at home, Simon Grayson was swaying leisurely with his legs crossed. Now he was getting more and more at ease with the Champions League final. Manchester City was doing his best, but his team didn't even use eight points. He only sent a small number of main players to mediate with his opponent. If he sent all the main players, it would be no problem to defeat Manchester City.
In the 45 minutes of the first half, the two teams were hard to tell, and the statistics were all very important. No one could break the deadlock on the court. Even Shaq, a super breakup, did little to do under the joint defense of old guy Redd and Manchester City captain Kompany.
The first goal on the court was also the only goal. It didn't appear until the 75th minute. When Manchester City made a corner kick, Smalling failed to handle it when heading the ball cleared. The ball fell in front of the small penalty area on the left side of Manchester United. The Brazilian midfielder Douglas Costa, who followed up in time, ran up flexibly, and shot a downwards on his body, sending the ball into Manchester United's goal!
Manchester City was ecstatic after scoring the goal, and the Etihad Stadium became a sea of joy, but Simon Grayson had no reaction at all. He told his players early in the morning that because the team wants to play in the FA Cup final in the next game, everyone must be prepared to lose.
