Chapter 975 Armed to the Teeth

Real Madrid Club President Mr. Florentino asked about the preparations for the game against Aston Villa with concern.

The Chairman expressed his trust in the team's head coach Mr. Mourinho.

Mourinho was encouraged to lead Real Madrid to defeat Aston Villa and achieve another success.

Mourinho thanked the Chairman for his concern and expressed his confidence in leading the team over Aston Villa's level and strive to bring Real Madrid the tenth Champions League trophy in the history of the club.

Florentino was very happy to hear this, saying that if Real Madrid really wins the tenth Champions League trophy, in the summer transfer market, he will try his best to meet Mourinho's signing requirements.

Finally, the Chairman of Real Madrid simply praised the wonderful performance of BBC.

After hanging up the phone, Mourinho's face turned gloomy.

Although he and Florentino talked a lot, Mourinho knew that the key point was the last two sentences.

Florentino conveyed the order in a tactful manner: Bell must play in this game.

However, Florentino is very good at being a human being. He did not give orders directly, but expressed his tactfulness, saving Mourinho face to the greatest extent.

And Yun Nuo said that the support of summer signings was more like a kind of comfort, comforting Mourinho with a stubborn temper.

He gave face and comforted him. Even though Mourinho was a little unhappy, he could only accept it.

Florentino ordered Bale to play, and Mourinho knew the reason.

Strictly speaking, Cro is not Florentino's "personal person".

Although Croat only came to report after Florentino took over Real Madrid, in fact, this transfer was finalized in the Calderon era.

Florentino is only responsible for signing for the receipt. Why have to sign for the receipt? If Florentino forced a "return" at that time, he would have to pay Manchester United a huge liquidated damages!

Or to put it more urgently, Cro belonged to the "post-behind son" of Calderon's era.

...

But Bale is different. Florentino has always hoped to put a "mark" on Real Madrid's record. When Real Madrid's record is gradually starting to get on track, he introduced a younger Bale. This is looking forward to this "one person" preparing for the future succession of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bell is Florentino's biological son.

This match against Aston Villa is a chance for Real Madrid to show the world the strength of Real Madrid again.

In particular, Bale was forced to poach Real Madrid from Aston Villa.

If BBC performs well, especially Bale performs well, helps Real Madrid defeat Aston Villa, this is not only a victory for Mourinho and Real Madrid, but also a political achievement for Florentino.

Mourinho began to consider tactics in the case of eliminating BBC.

On Real Madrid's offensive end, the "BBC combination" is extremely powerful.

But on the defensive end, it can be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Especially the two "million-yuan gentlemen", only by correcting their defensive attitude, actively returning to defense, and forming a good defensive order and tacit understanding with the full-back behind them, can Real Madrid's trident be able to achieve both offense and defense and truly exert its power.

However, it is not easy to make Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale work harder on the defensive end, and Mourinho dares not guarantee whether this will affect the effect of BBC in the offensive stage.

...

The night is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Real Madrid and Aston Villa.

Mourinho felt that he could not be so bored and idle, so he skillfully started a psychological warfare again.

When asked by reporters that Fang Jue had not responded to his words, Mourinho had anything to say about it.

Mourinho said: That's because he knew he had said big talk before and knew that Villa would definitely lose, so he felt guilty.

Fang Jue was no longer silent, and he retorted: He knew that we could win at the Bernabeu, so he was panicked. Only those who were panicked and unconfident would repeatedly provoke topics.

Mourinho: You are worried!

Fang Jue: Whoever is worried knows.

Mourinho: Look at me crying you today.

Fang Jue: Haha.

As the game was approaching, the two head coaches broke out in a fierce battle of words because of Mourinho's "provocation". Media fans and the melon-eating crowd were very excited.

...

The reporters also interviewed players from both sides in particular.

When Bale was at Aston Villa, he and Mane separated from Villa's wings, causing a fierce wing storm in the Premier League and Champions League.

Some media interviewed Mane.

Mane said bluntly that he and Bale were good friends.

"Yes, we are good friends and we will contact you frequently now."

"I miss the days when I played with Gareth. He was a phenomenal player and it was a pleasure to watch him play."

"Of course, now we are opponents, we respect each other, friendship is friendship, but I believe we will all try our best to win."

The reporter was quite surprised. They had heard that Mane was honest and not good at speaking, but looking at these words, this kid was very decent.

After accepting the interview, Mane sneaked and looked at the notes in his pocket in a deserted place. Seeing that it was generally correct, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The meaning of these words to be expressed is Mane himself. He just wants to say what he himself may not express so accurately. It is quite concise and useful if he has sorted it out on the note.

Bale immediately responded to Mane's words.

"…Yes, Sadio and I are very, very good friends, as well as James (Milner) and Luca (Modric), and we often play useful brain games together."

"I will never forget the days in Aston Villa, it was a wonderful memory."

"But, I'm a Real Madrid player now, I like it here, this game, I will do my best."

"Maybe after the game, I'll treat them to a meal, but on the court, we're the opponent."

...

At this time, a Madrid reporter asked Bale how he felt when playing football under Fang Jue.

They hope Bale says something bad, and now the Madrid media is very unhappy.

However, they obviously underestimated the impact of Fang Jue on Bell.

"Mr. Fang Jue is a very charming coach. Yes, he has a magic power to unite all players under his hands and fight with all their might. Everyone trusts him very much." Bale said, pausing and adding, "Of course, what I want to do now is to help Real Madrid defeat Villa."

Despite Bale's last sentence, Madrid's reporters were still not satisfied.

"What about your current head coach Mourinho?"

Xavi Alonso always gave people a low-key feeling. At that time, Fang Jue knew the ability of this Spanish international.

In this Real Madrid team, Alonso is definitely the most indispensable player.

In Real Madrid, Alonso has made obvious progress.

When he was at Liverpool, Alonso was not the top-level defensive position selection, and most of the time he had to choose to be forced to foul.

However, in Real Madrid, Alonso's defensive position selection has made great progress. This should be due to Mourinho's adjustment, after all, the Magic Birds started with the defense.

However, when Fang Jue and the coaching staff were studying the game, they had a feeling that Alonso's defensive coverage has declined now.

And Alonso has another problem, that is, his shot rate is low when facing high-pressures.

Alonso has a strong passing ability, but his ability to get rid of the ball after getting the ball is slightly inferior, so Alonso is more likely to be strangled to death.

Fang Jue studied several poor games in Real Madrid this season. After Alonso was strangled to death, Real Madrid's offense became constipated.

So, Mourinho sent Alonso a helper, Khdira, in today's game.

In Fang Jue's opinion, Khedira has all kinds of abilities, but none of them are outstanding.

The performance is indeed quite positive, but the ability to handle the ball is much worse than that of Alonso.

However, his offensive awareness still attracted enough attention from Fang Jue.

"Be careful of Khdira's forward insertion, this guy can always appear in the best time." Fang Jue emphasized.

...

This is Fang Jue's fifth visit to the Bernabeu Stadium.

Three of the first four times were when coaching Ibiza, and one was when I led Aston Villa to visit here last season.

In that game, Aston Villa lost 1-3 away, and the total score was eliminated in the semi-finals of three-4.

A year later, Aston Villa came here again, but this time it was not the semi-finals, but met in advance in the quarter-finals.

The Bernabeu Stadium, which can accommodate 81,044 spectators, is full.

When the players from both sides entered the court, a huge sound broke out on the scene.

Fang Jue and Mourinho shook hands, and neither of them wanted to greet each other. They touched their right hands and separated and returned to their respective coaching seats.

Mourinho is thinking with Aston Villa's starting lineup.

Aston Villa's starting goalkeeper today is Ter Stegen, the young German goalkeeper has secured the position of Aston Villa's main goalkeeper.

The central defender is a combination of Sendros and Thiago Silva.

Mourinho felt a little troubled when he saw this pair of central defenders. When the two sides fought last season, Real Madrid was able to overthrow Aston Villa, which has a lot to do with Aston Villa's personnel crisis in the central defender position.

In the second leg, Aston Villa's two centre-backs even made temporary guest appearances by players from other positions.

Obviously, after learning from the lessons of the Champions League out last season, Fang Jue focused on strengthening the position of the central defender.

The central defender combination of Sendros and Thiago Silva is indeed very difficult, and on the bench of Aston Villa, there are veterans like Nesta and young rookie Stones.

In the position of the central defender, Fang Jue was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the rope, so he was armed to his teeth.
