Chapter 24 Warm Up

It was indeed radiant.

When he saw Mourinho walking towards him with a calm expression, Lin Sen sighed in his heart that it was the first time he had seen such a dazzling person since he had these "eyes". Even Aguero was not as dazzling as him.

In this world, there are always a few people who can achieve some extreme in a certain field. In the field of football coaching, not to mention ancient times, the tactics of the closer Sachie is an extreme, and Sir Ferguson's resume is also an extreme. Soon, Guardiola will do it. In addition to them, there is another person who has done it, that is Mourinho in front of him.

There are many kinds of sayings about what kind of person Mourinho is, but after all, only those who have been with him can draw conclusions, and the others are just heard of. Lin Sen has never dealt with him, so he honestly said he didn't know. Mourinho who came over did not have any conversation with Lin Sen. He just came over and nodded, shook his hand, and then turned back to his coaching seat.

Lin Sen couldn't feel the arrogance of the legendary madman, nor did he feel the rude madman's mistreatment. This was the first time Lin Sen and Mourinho had dealt with him.

Lin Sen also walked back to his coaching seat, and the game was about to begin.

The Rose Garden finally ushered in its first small festival of the season. Thousands of fans entered the Rose Garden, and a few of them wore Inter Milan jerseys, and some even mixed in leisurely among the Malaga fans. This is almost unimaginable in normal games. The stadium that can accommodate nearly 40,000 people is still a little empty, but it finally has a lot of anger. For Lin Sen, who just left Calderon, there was no scolding or protest. The atmosphere of such a rose garden is already very good.

Because, this is just a warm-up match.

Lin Sen sat in the coach's seat. On the bench on his left, except for Elisu, Calleyan and others, the seven players who were excluded from the last warm-up match have now returned to the team to wait on the bench. In other words, the starting players in this game are actually not much different from the previous game. On the other hand, Mourinho gave him a lot of face and sent most of the theoretical main lineup.

Lin Sen thought he would see a group of golden arhats on Inter Milan's lineup, but in fact, he only saw two and a half.

Brazil's national goalkeeper Cesar is counted as one, right-back Macon is counted as one, and the other half is Cambiaso Adriano is no longer among them. He is just like other Inter Milan players, with a light shining only above his head.

Due to the European Cup, Inter Milan's biggest star Ibrahimovic received special approval to extend his vacation and did not come to Spain with the team. In addition, several of the more familiar players Crespo, Samuel, and former world footballer Figo, etc., did not accompany the team, which made Lin Sen a little regretful.

Lin Sen still arranged the formation of 4231, while Mourinho implemented his idea of ​​flying both wings, ruled out the formation of 4333, and did not think about life. Young player Balotelli and new player Mancini, who appeared on the two sides.

As the referee whistle sounded, the game started with cheers.

--------------------

As Mourinho imagined, the game entered the rhythm of Inter Milan from the beginning.

Mancini and Balotelli took turns to put pressure on Malaga's two sides. Cambiaso, Montali and Stankovic formed a midfield to control the midfield. It can be seen that Malaga still lacks tacit understanding of the team. The midfielder composed of five players was unable to form an advantage in the midfield, which disappointed Mourinho a little. The reason why he agreed to Malaga's invitation was not to come to find confidence.

However, as the game progressed, Mourinho quickly smelled a strange smell from the game, that is, Inter Milan, which seemed to have the advantage, was unable to score.

His eyes seemed to condense.

Montali controlled the ball, was blocked, and returned the pass to Matrazi. Matrazi tried to control the ball, was forced, and a long pass was found for Balotelli. Balotelli received the ball, broke through on the side, was blocked, and returned the pass to Cambiaso. Cambiaso was forced, and a touch of the ball was handed over to Stankovic. Stankovic shot from a long time, but it ended in vain.

Mourinho replayed the attack just now like a movie, and then picked out the key points like a professional editor. A clear offensive line appeared in his mind. At the same time as this line, there were also hidden points: No. 10, No. 9, No. 14, No. 8...

No. 10 is midfielder Apono, which is his close fit, which makes Montari choose to pass back. No. 9 is Polish striker Lewandowski, his robbery makes Matrazi choose to pass long. No. 14 is midfielder Gabi, his replacement puts Balotelli in a siege. No. 8 is young player Cork, and his withdrawal makes Stankovic unable to spend more time to make a judgment...

Concise and clear.

Mourinho quickly read the other party's tactical philosophy.

Offense requires tacit understanding, but defense requires more decision. Malaga's offensive system is still very awkward, but the defensive system has taken shape.

Mourinho glanced at Malaga's coaching seat in surprise. If the information is correct, this young Chinese man has been picking up the coaching stick for less than half a year, right?

------------------

At the end of the half game, the score was zero to zero.

Compared to observing the situation on the court, Lin Sen was almost observing the opponent's players throughout the first half, especially the two sides.

He knew that Mourinho's two wings flying tactics at Inter Milan would eventually fail, and Quaresma, who was still on the way, would eventually become a failure in Mourinho's transfer. However, no matter what the future is, it does not mean that Malaga can easily deal with Inter Milan's current tactics. However, in warm-up matches, winning is not the purpose, discovering problems is the goal. Lin Sen does not intend to make any deliberate arrangements for Inter Milan's tactics. He just asked the team to play football as they did in previous training.

In the first half, Malaga's performance was far better than Lin Sen's imagination. Although it was lackluster in offense, Lin Sen had seen what he wanted to see in defense, and even more. At least, Malaga did a very good job in high-level defense.

In the second half, Lin Sen plans to change the players.

The replacement target is not a backcourt player who performs normally, but a frontcourt player who makes Lin Sen extremely satisfied in defense in the first half.

So Reus, Isco and five others went into battle.

Mourinho also made a substitution in the midfield, Cruise replaced Adriano, Zivo replaced Maxwell, Orlandoni replaced Cesar...

After a few substitutions, the dull atmosphere on the field was immediately wiped out.

Fifty-one minutes, Cruise scored a goal. At that moment, Lin Sen saw half of the golden body, but soon disappeared, which surprised Lin Sen a little. Could this be the truth of the legendary super substitute?

In the 63rd minute, Longdong scored. Ruiz's eyes shone, but the focus was not on Longdong. He finally understood why Lin Sen deliberately told him to spend more time on Reus. This young man, who has not reached his ideal state in his eyes, passed the opponent's three people on the wing and sent assists. You must know that the opponent is Inter Milan.

In the 74th minute, Macon scored a goal. Mourinho frowned on the sidelines. The full-back scored a goal. This is a good thing, because his current tactics are two wings flying together, but although the full-back is also wings, what he wants to see most now is the winger.

In the 89th minute, Longdong scored twice. Hearing the cheers of the fans, Livermore in the stands smiled. Longdong came for free. He helped Lin Sen take the blame all summer. Now, it should be a little bit too bad, right?

The game ended with a harmonious score of 2-2.

For the fans of Malaga, although it was just a warm-up match, the opponent was Inter Milan and the draw was already a victory, so they definitely had a reason to be happy. At the end of the final whistle, they used applause and cheer to express their joy and satisfaction with the team.

For the head coaches on both sides, both teams have achieved the purpose of warm-up, which is enough.

This time, Lin Sen took the initiative to move towards Mourinho.

There was a smile on his face.

Mourinho also stood up and walked over, and the two finally met closer to the visiting team's coaching seat.

"I'm glad to play with you, Mr. Mourinho, it's a good game." Lin Sen said first.

"I'm also happy to play against you. Malaga is a good team and is very energetic." Mourinho's face finally stopped being the expressionless calm before, but with a friendly smile. He even reached out and patted Lin Sen on the shoulder.

"Thank you. Please allow me to say a big word, I hope I can fight you again." With the basis of a smile, Lin Sen made a joke.

"I believe it will." Sure enough, Mourinho's smile on his face became even more intense, and he nodded.

After a brief conversation, the two quickly returned to their respective locker rooms. In the subsequent post-match press conference, Mourinho whispered to Malaga, Linson praised Inter Milan, and a group of reporters quickly found themselves standing outside the Rose Garden Stadium as they praised each other.

The first fight with Mourinho ended in such a harmonious way, which Lin Sen could never imagine, which made Lin Sen feel a little regretful that he could not fight with another famous coach who he admired quite a lot.

Roma, the opponent of the original third warm-up match, rejected Malaga's invitation.

After receiving this reply, Barcas quickly finalized the opponents in the last three games, none of which were the top league teams. Lin Sen, who learned the news, could only accept it helplessly, and then quickly shifted his eyes and aimed at the first round opponent of Malaga in the new season, which seemed far away but was still close.

Atletico Madrid!
