    The last words spoken in the locker room were not actually Mourinho's. He showed a very arrogant side. Probably not many people would dare to say that God is first and I am second, but in fact he was in charge.  In the game, the most important thing is defense.

    Pei Wei saw this, but he didn't ask Mourinho - it doesn't matter at ordinary times, he will never use his thinking to influence Mourinho during the game, because he knows that although his football level is  Yes, but that refers to the amateur level. In the world of professional football, any assistant coach who comes out is probably much better than him.

    Compared with Wenger, who is pursuing perfect football in a perverted way, Mourinho is more conservative - it is not appropriate to say that he is conservative. The accurate statement should be that he puts performance first, defense first, and then  It's the offense, this is Mourinho's football philosophy. For Mourinho, a 1-0 victory is much better than a 4-3 win, because although the subsequent games were good to watch, the defense conceded three goals.  This is something Mourinho cannot tolerate.

    Mourinho actually had other intentions in what he said just now. The players' mentality of winning will not be calmed down by the story Pei Wei told. Instead, they should be properly guided at this time. Anyway, Newcastle's offensive ability is not good.  It will be worse than Middlesbrough, and its defensive ability is much better. It also has a high winning rate in head-to-head matches, so we simply strengthen the offense. This will allow the players to display their high spirits better. Another point is,  This is the closest Newcastle has come to the championship, and it is likely to be Newcastle's first championship in forty-three years. If they can win the championship with a beautiful victory, it will also have a great impact on the overall image of the team.  Very helpful.

    The lineup Mourinho sent for this game also proves this point.  It's still 442, but the midfielder has changed from a double midfielder to a single midfielder, with goalkeeper Given, defenders Trabelsi, Lucio, Woodgate and Hart, and midfielder Makelele trailing behind, on both wings.  They are Robert and Dyer, Nie Fei in front, and double forwards Ibrahimovic and Shearer.  Middlesbrough head coach McClaren sent the same lineup of 442.  Goalkeeper Australian national goalkeeper Schwarzer, the four defenders from right to left are former England international Miles, two former England national team veterans, 33-year-old Southgate and 32-year-old Esiogu.  The left back is 25-year-old French defender Coudreau.  Judging from this lineup, Newcastle's defense is really not that good. Although Miles was the main right back of the England national team in the 2002 World Cup, that was only because Eriksson was really looking for him after Manchester United's Gary Neville was injured.  No one comes.  Although the veteran pair of Southgate and Ehiogu were the second-ranked central defender partner in the Premier League last year, their performance is not as stable as last season after a year.  Mistakes have also increased during the season, and there is nothing surprising about Coudreau. He is just experienced and relatively stable, so Mourinho will boldly formulate aggressive offensive tactics in the game.

    However, compared with their defense, Middlesbrough's midfield and frontcourt look very luxurious - of course for a mid-table team aiming for the UEFA Cup - the midfielder is the Dutchman Boateng.  , this 28-year-old player has been in the Premier League for six seasons and his performance has always been stable.  Both wings are players on loan. On the left is the Dutch winger Zenden, who is on loan from Chelsea, and on the right is the former Spanish international Mendieta, who is on loan from Lazio.  The attacking midfielder is Brazilian Juninho Paulista, and the double forwards are Cameroon international Yob and Italian striker Maccarone.

    ? Judging from this lineup.  McLaren's idea is to use offense to win. Since Robson coached this team, Middlesbrough's tradition has been technical offensive football.  They have the title of "Giant Killer" in the Premier League, and they have quite a lot of experience in playing against strong teams, so even if they faced Newcastle, which was quite prosperous this season, McLaren also fielded such a strong offensive and defensive lineup.

    But when he saw Newcastle's lineup, he couldn't help but gasped. Janus, a midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities, did not play. Instead, Dyer, a winger with distinctive wing attacks, Nie  Flying back to the center, the two full-backs sent Trabelsi and Hart, who have excellent assist abilities, and put Kufuor and Bernard, who have strong defensive abilities, on the bench What does this mean?  ?  This means that Newcastle no longer intends to use the offensive and defensive balance tactics that they have achieved good results in the league, but intends to use offense to destroy Middlesbrough's defense!

    Newcastle fans wearing black and white jerseys and Middlesbrough fans wearing red jerseys occupied the stands on both sides of the goal. They cheered for their teams desperately from the beginning of the game. Fortunately, both sides  Is it between the club or the fans?

    It¡¯s quite friendly, so there¡¯s no mutual disparagement.?? is indispensable.

    Compared with the usual boring start of the final, this final was quite exciting - almost from the beginning of the game, the two teams started to attack with fast attacks - there was nothing that could be done about it.  , compared with the opponent's attackers, the defenders of both sides are a bit weak. In this case, using offense to suppress the opponent's offense is the only way.

    Whoever can use his own offense to suppress the opponent's offense will be able to take advantage. This is the inevitable result of both sides adopting offensive tactics. It is precisely because of this that the final was extremely exciting.

    At the beginning of the first half, Newcastle gave their opponents a showdown. After several midfield kicks, the ball fell to Trabelsi's feet. Trabelsi showed his offensive ability under Zenden's pressure.  After passing the opponent beautifully, he keenly observed the running route of his teammates in the frontcourt, and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a beautiful long pass!

    In the midfield, Nie Feizheng and Dyer made a cross move. Dyer came to the middle, and Nie Fei ran to the right to attract the attention of Boateng, the only defensive midfielder of the opponent. The ball was here.  The time fell exactly at Dyer's feet.

    Middlesbrough's defense made a huge mistake. There was no player defending in the middle of the midfield!

    Dyer was naturally not polite when he saw that there was no defensive player in front of him. After removing the ball beautifully, he began to dribble forward along the center and break through quickly. His speed was quite fast, but the reaction of Middlesbrough's defense seemed a bit awkward.  slow.

    Dyer advanced to the top of the penalty area before someone came up to defend him. Dyer immediately made a beautiful cross pass. When Ibrahimovic was parallel to the opponent's last defender, he passed the ball to his feet. Ibrahimovic caught the ball.  Then he took a step forward and entered the penalty area, and then immediately volleyed hard with his left foot!

    Schwarzer made a wonderful save and saved the ball beautifully from the bottom line!

    "Newcastle created a beautiful opportunity as soon as they came up! Schwarzer made a good save, but Ibrahimovic seemed a little anxious. If he could carry the ball forward, then Middlesbrough would be in danger. After all, Middlesbrough was at that time  The defender can't threaten him yet." Laurenson shouted in surprise.

    "But this is the characteristic of Ibrahimovic." As a former world super striker, Lineker naturally has more say: "His skills are very good, but his feeling in front of the goal is a bit worse. When he gets the opportunity,  At times, he often just shoots directly. If he continues to dribble, he may not be able to create any threat God is fair. It is a miracle that a big man of 1.92 meters can have the same skills and overall perspective as a midfielder.  At the same time, I¡¯m afraid it will also deprive him of something else.¡±

    "If he has the same shooting feeling as Shearer" Hans said suddenly.

    "Then no one can defend him." Lineker shrugged: "But it seems that this kind of player should not exist on earth."

    While they were still talking, Nie Fei's corner kick was directly headed away by Southgate. Boateng took the ball and passed it back to Wright under Dyer's pressure. Wright drove the ball forward.  After a few steps, it was passed to Zenden in front. Zenden did not break through after taking the ball, but suddenly passed the ball forward in the midfield.

    A long pass from 40 meters away!  However, his pass seemed to be very purposeful, passing directly to the front of Newcastle's penalty area.

    Job chased towards the landing point, Woodgate was chasing closely behind him, and Given also rushed out of the small penalty area. In his opinion, he should be able to catch the ball in front of Job.

    But he seemed to have underestimated Job's speed. The Cameroon forward rushed to the spot where the ball landed before Woodgate and Given. Seeing that Given was about to rush forward, he jumped up high before he could stop the ball and knocked it down.  The ball hit the goal hard!

    Ji Wen jumped up and stretched out his hands, but failed to touch the ball!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the falling ball, watching it fall, fall, and finally land on the net.

    Newcastle fans let out a collective sigh, while Middlesbrough fans sighed collectively - this is football, it touches the hearts of countless people, making them nervous for it, excited for it, and forget everything for it.

    At the beginning of the first half, both sides created a good opportunity each, and in the following game, the two sides did not remain conservative, but launched a more intense attack, and a wonderful start began.
