The implication is that Valencia’s injuries are serious, so their strength will be greatly reduced.
In fact, Mourinho should hate winning constantly.
Because the winning streak robbed him of the core of the midfield.
Seeing Deco play so well in Valencia, he is even more unhappy-such an excellent Deco should belong to Porto!
Without the midfield core, Mourinho had to modify his tactics to adapt to the new lineup.
As a result, they almost didn’t win the triple crown last season.
But on the other hand, Mourinho does have proud capital. With the core of midfield, Mourinho was able to lead the team to the triple crown last season, and his level was really extraordinary.
The two sides fought a war of words and the war easily spread to the players.
Mourinho took the initiative to mention Deco’s name this time.
"Deco should have been my core. I like and appreciate him very much. He has an absolutely important tactical position in Porto. But unfortunately, he went to Valencia. I don’t think it is a better choice for him to go to Valencia. Because we won the UEFA Cup last season, and Deco has not won a European championship in Valencia. "
Mourinho’s remarks are somewhat unreasonable. Isn’t the La Liga champion inferior to the UEFA Cup champion?
This question is a matter of opinion, but it is obviously nonsense to insist that it is better to stay in Porto than to go to Valencia.
Everyone knows that Valencia is better than Porto, because La Liga is a bigger stage.
Mourinho can’t fail to understand this. His only purpose in saying this is to disturb the morale of Valencia.
Deco is the core of Valencia. If Deco can be distracted by this matter, it will definitely affect his performance in the game, thus affecting Valencia’s performance.
This is Mourinho’s good idea.
In fact, when it comes to feelings, Mourinho has no feelings for Deco. After all, they only worked together for half a season, and then Deco left.
This time and space is not the time and space that Changsheng has experienced. In that time and space, Deco played under Mourinho for two and a half years, from an unknown nobody to the best midfielder in Europe, and proudly moved to Barcelona.
Mourinho in that time and space has the kindness to Deco, and he is like Deco’s re-creation teacher.
In this time and space, the emotional connection between two people naturally does not exist. Chang Sheng replaced Mourinho and became Deco’s mentor. His affection for Porto has faded, and Deco enjoys everything in Valencia.
Chapter two hundred and ninety-seven Spit at each other
When Mourinho criticized Deco for regretting his move to Valencia in an interview, Changsheng knew what Mourinho was doing.
He is worried that Deco will be influenced by Mourinho.
So he responded quickly and didn’t give Deco a chance to be affected by this.
"I brought Deco from Porto. If Mourinho really appreciates Deco as he said, then he should try his best to keep Deco, but he didn’t. Porto chose money, not players. I don’t think he is qualified to complain about Deco’s choice at this time. As for whether it is better to move to Valencia or stay in Porto, this question is so stupid that I don’t want to answer it, but if you must ask, I will tell you: after the Champions League final, Mourinho will know how stupid this question he is talking about! "
Journalists like to listen to two coaches spitting at each other and analyzing tactics. How can this be wonderful?
So the media is full of reports of two head coaches fighting a war of words.
Changsheng successfully transferred the media’s attention from Deco to himself.
Deco was hidden in advance by him.
But even so, it can’t be said that this matter has no influence on Deco at all.
Therefore, Changsheng has to communicate with Deco in private.
This exchange is different from what he said to the media.
"Mourinho thinks it was a mistake for you to move to Valencia. What do you think, Andres?"
Deco said without hesitation, "I have never regretted this decision, coach." Perhaps because he felt that his credibility was not high enough, Deco added: "Of course, I was a little skeptical at the beginning … I thought I couldn’t get a chance here. After all, Valencia is bigger than Porto …"
Changsheng smiled, which was a bit flattering. Valencia is not necessarily bigger than Porto. Valencia is more attractive than Porto because Valencia is on a bigger stage than Porto. The Spanish League, one of the five major leagues in Europe, is better than the Portuguese Super League, a European secondary league, and attracts more attention.
Any player wants to play in five major leagues, rather than hanging out in low-level competitions all his life, as long as he has the strength.
Deco has strength, and Valencia is naturally more attractive to him than Porto.
Changsheng didn’t let Deco go on, because he thought Deco was not good at doing such things.
"Let’s talk about the game. Mourinho thinks it is wrong for you to move to Valencia. Regardless of whether he is right or not, at least it has had a certain impact on you in the media. I want to hear what you think after hearing this? "
"I think he is talking nonsense!" Deco was a little excited.
"Yes, of course he is talking nonsense. But how can you prove that he is talking nonsense? "
"I won two league titles and one domestic cup in Valencia … Isn’t that enough proof?"
Chang Sheng shook his head: "People will say that Mourinho’s team has also won two league titles and a cup title, and they have one more European champion than us-the UEFA Cup."
Deco was stumped.
If someone really argue with him like this, he really doesn’t know how to get back to them.
"It’s actually very simple, Andres." It’s like tempting a person to sell his soul.
"Just beat Porto in the final and win the Champions League."
Deco’s eyes lit up.
Yes, why didn’t he think of it just now?
As long as I win the Champions League in Valencia, doesn’t it mean that I am right to move to Valencia?
"I look forward to your performance in the final, Andres." Finally, Changsheng ended the conversation by shaking hands with Deco.
When Deco went out, he clenched his fist and was full of fighting spirit.
This time, he must tell Mourinho with practical actions how correct and wise he was when he chose to move to Valencia!
……
After the final round of the league, the winning team came to Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where the Schalke area is the site of Schalke 04.
Mourinho’s team has been waiting here for a long time.
That’s why he thinks his team has an advantage over Valencia.
Compared with the tired Valencia, his team is an easy task.
Moreover, Porto, which has lived here for a week, is more suitable for the climate, venue, and even diet and living habits here than Valencia, which has just arrived here.
Even the time difference changed from Greenwich Mean Time to Central European Time.
On the other hand, Valencia, a newcomer, will have a fierce battle with Porto in Schalke Stadium in two days.
Two days is enough time for them to prepare what?
At best, you can adapt to the venue, but you may not be able to adapt.
……
Both coaches are personality coaches, and they have a bad temper.
Under the instigation of the media, the head coach is also happy to compete with the other side.
So the war of words between them kept going on.
Chang Sheng, who just got off the plane, ridiculed Mourinho for coming here more than a week in advance to make preparations, which was a coward.
"I thought Porto was a Portuguese team. Was it a German team? Are they fighting at home? It doesn’t matter, we are used to playing away. "
