    It¡¯s been a very special season since then.

    First of all, the special thing is the schedule. In order to give the national teams participating in the Asian Cup in July and the Olympic team participating in the Olympic Games in September enough time to prepare, the Football Association has arranged most of the leagues between March and June.  From March 5th to June 18th, 19 rounds of the league and the first three rounds of the Football Association Cup are scheduled within 16 weeks. In other words, of these 16 weeks, six will be  Double matches a week is a serious test for each club. For Yunjia Tianyu, they will also participate in the finals of the Asian Club Cup in May. Fortunately, as one of the top eight of last year's Football Association Cup,  They don't need to participate in the first three rounds of the FA Cup, otherwise the schedule alone will bring them down.

    After the 19th round of the league ended on June 18, the league entered the first intermission period. The national team concentrated on preparing for the Asian Cup. It did not start again until the 20th round of the league on August 6. Wait until August 2  After the 22nd round of the league on the 10th, the league entered the second intermission period. The National Olympic team concentrated on participating in the Olympic finals in September. After entering October, the final four rounds of competition will begin in November.  Before, the league ended.

    What is special is not only the schedule, but also the attendance.

    After the end of this season, according to statistics from the Football Association, the average number of fans attending the game in each round and each game reached more than 37,600, an increase of 5,000 from last year. It is undeniable that  The joining of four world-class superstars has greatly stimulated fans' interest in watching football live. Each club's revenue from tickets and fan merchandise has increased significantly this year, coupled with the income from various commercial activities  With the income, each club has tasted the sweetness brought by the joining of superstars, which indirectly drives Chinese clubs to pursue those outdated superstars in the next few years, and also gives those superstars who are about to retire more places to dig for gold.

    Originally, it was the Football Association's helpless move to divide the league into three major sections. The Asian Cup and the Olympic Games are both very important tasks for the two national teams, but the time was chosen in July and September. Originally, the Football Association did not plan to  The league is scheduled during this period, but if it is postponed to November, the teams in the central and southern areas will be fine, but the north may be full of wind and snow, and the impact on the league will only be greater by then.

    After making this schedule arrangement, the Football Association was already mentally prepared for a drop in league attendance. As a result, the attendance rate rose instead of falling, which made everyone happy.

    The wonderful performances of four of these superstars played a big role. These four superstars are all world-renowned shooters and have also led to the craze of offensive football in the league. Romario is probably the most outstanding player among them.  After the end of the first phase of the league, he ranked first in the scorer list with 16 league goals. Together with Zhang Yulin's nine goals and Qu Shengqing's five goals, which has greatly reduced his appearances this season, the Liaoning team has the strongest team.  Offensive line.

    Dalian Dongfang's Croatian striker Davor Suker did not score many goals, but he brought an overall improvement to Dalian Dongfang's frontcourt offense. He also scored seven goals personally, and Shandong Hualong's Stoichkov even more  He has become the source of Shandong Hualong's frontcourt offense, taking care of almost all the team's frontcourt set-pieces. He personally ranks fourth in the scorer list with 11 goals.

    Ranked second on the scorer list is the forward Yunjia Tianyu. The young Adriano scored 14 goals. The old superstar Weah did not score too many goals, only eight. It is worth mentioning that Yunjia Tianyu scored 14 goals.  Tianyu's substitute forwards all scored in the limited playing time. Qu Le scored four goals, Sun Bing scored two goals, and Wenda scored one goal. Although the number of goals scored by the forwards was one less than that of Liaoning, their firepower was more dispersed and more  It¡¯s hard to guard against.

    However, Yunjia fans are not too satisfied with Yunjia Tianyu¡¯s record after the first stage of the league.

    In the league standings, Yunjia Tianyu ranks second with 37 points, five points behind the defending champion Shandong Hualong at the top, and one point ahead of Dalian Liaoning, which also has 36 points. This result seems to be decent, after all.  The schedule is favorable to Yunjia Tianyu. Among the last seven opponents, only Shanghai, Sichuan and Beijing are relatively strong opponents, and these three opponents are currently not among the top four. Among Shandong's opponents are Beijing, Sichuan, Shanghai,  The five-point gap between the five strong players Chongqing and Liaoning is not as big as imagined.

    What dissatisfied Yunjia Tianyu fans was that Yunjia Tianyu failed to defend their title in the Asian Club Cup - they didn't even make it to the finals. In the semi-finals, they lost to Saudi Al-Hira who later won the championship.  The Al Ain team of the United Arab Emirates only defeated the Al Ain team of the United Arab Emirates 2-1 in the third and fourth place finals. Although the third place result is considered good, it is considered a failure for the defending champion.

    The new coach Mourinho has been questioned by some fans, especially after facing the previous coach Benitez.

    , although Mourinho is more handsome than Benitez.There are many, but compared with Benitez, who holds the heavyweight championship, his image in the hearts of fans is far behind.

    Even the fact that he was named the most manly coach in the league this year by a somewhat boring sports media has become a reason for some people to attack him. Although Mourinho claims that he never reads comments in newspapers, Pei  Wei knew that he still cared about these things quite a bit.

    Since the beginning of this season, the results have been unsatisfactory. In fact, Pei Wei has expected this. The decline in Yunjia Tianyu's strength started last year, but the glory of winning the Asian Club Cup has covered up all this. Wait until the new year  After the coach took office, all the problems seemed to be exposed in one day. In fact, these problems existed before, but they were not so obvious.

    For example, there is a lack of a playmaker in the middle, the strength of the full-backs has declined, the goalkeeper has been replaced by a new one etc. It can be said that any new head coach will encounter these problems. If all the blame is put on Mourinho,  It is obviously quite unfair.

    What's more, the team is now in a period of transformation. From Benitez's unstable tactical play to Mourinho's more stable, stronger defense and more determined counterattack tactics, the results have fluctuated.  definitely.

    So Pei Wei always supports Mourinho in front of and behind him, and he really thinks so. Even if he sacrifices a season and fails to win any championship, he must let Mourinho complete his tactical adjustments.

    In fact, the three foreign coaches of Yunjia Tianyu are a microcosm of the growth of the Yunjia Tianyu club. In the early days, Wenger, what he did was to let Yunjia Tianyu have a gorgeous playing style, which could attract more people.  Fans pay attention to Yunjia Tianyu and like Yunjia Tianyu. At the same time, he has trained a large number of potential players for the team. After Benitez takes office, it is the time to achieve results. With the good foundation laid by Wenger,  There were enough fans paying attention, so Benitez won several heavyweight championships in one go. However, in the process of winning the championship, the foundation laid by Wenger was slowly disappearing. Nie Fei, Hao Dong, Yang  The departure of Tian Tian, ??Sun Chenghai and several outstanding foreign players made Yunjia Tianyu almost change a team. Although Yunjia Tianyu has good infrastructure and sufficient reserves, talented players are not easily trained. Without these,  In the case of talented players, iron discipline is needed to make the team form a whole with a more tenacious style and combat effectiveness, and this is exactly what Mourinho needs to do now.

    In terms of tactical command, Mourinho does not seem to have anything special. Even when he became the world's highest-paid head coach in later generations, it is difficult to think of any classic games in which he commanded on the spot, but under his men  , the team is the most combative, which is why he was able to lead the unknown Porto team to win the European Champions Cup in one breath, and then knead a Chelsea team built with a lot of money into shape, winning two consecutive Premier League championships - as for  The failure to win the Champions League is just because competitions like the Champions League are too random.

    One of his characteristics is that he has never had a true world superstar under his command, like several important players at Chelsea: John Terry, Lampard, and Drogba were all only slightly famous before he coached.  They are not up to the standard of first-class superstars, but under his hands, they have become real superstars.

    If his success at Chelsea is just because Abramovich spent a lot of money to build a championship team for him, then the year before he coached, almost the same team could only win under Agnelli.  Third in the league and abandoned by Arsenal early?  You know, among the players he brought after taking office, only Drogba and Makelele really played a role, while players like Lampard, Duff, Terry, etc. had already played for Chelsea before him.  Effective.

    And when he lost the league title in his third year coaching Chelsea, it was also because the team was stuffed with three superstars, Shevchenko, Ballack and Ashley Cole, who he did not want.  You know, these three superstars are not what he wants, but what boss Abramovich appreciates.

    How strong a team is is not determined by how many superstars there are in the team, but by how many players are able to exert sufficient abilities - this is the key to a team's success.

    His team will never play the best football, but it is difficult for you to beat them-now Yunjia Tianyu needs this kind of temperament to settle, after having enough championship titles.

    Fortunately, the national team has begun to concentrate, and the fans are all focused on the upcoming Asian Cup. Pei Wei and Mourinho are under a lot less pressure.
