    After entering the locker room, the players quickly changed their clothes and warmed up on the court with the assistant coach, while Mourinho stayed alone in the locker room, preparing for the next pre-match arrangement.

    This is his habit. The quiet moment before the game helped him calm down and calmly consider the next thing. Pei Wei did not disturb him and left with the players.  This is Mourinho's moment.

    The soundproofing effect of the Schalke Stadium dressing room is very good. Once the door is closed, the entire space seems extremely quiet. No matter how much noise the fans in the stands make, they cannot disturb him. This also makes Mourinho feel very comfortable.

    He carefully thought about the tactics in the game, and after feeling that there were no omissions, he began to think about how to encourage the players - of course, no matter who would use all their energy to compete in such a game, but in this game, Murry  Neo needs them to perform at 200% of their capabilities.

    Although Mourinho is an absolutely dictatorial person, in the team and in the locker room, there is no boss or leader. The only boss and leader is himself, including Shearer, who has the potential to be a "ball dominator"  Pei Wei, the true controller of Newcastle, has no say in the locker room. He is the only one who has the right to speak and absolute authority.

    But this does not mean that Mourinho is crazy enough to think that only he can win the game - in the final analysis, the game is still played by the players, and all he has to do is how to make them play better.

    Such a game does not require much mobilization. After thinking about it for a while, Mourinho decided what he wanted to say later, and then he stood up.  Pacing back and forth in the locker room.

    He is using this method to eliminate his own nervousness - yes, it is nervous. Any head coach will be nervous when facing the upcoming Champions League final. After all, no head coach in the world has had many Champions League finals.  The experience has made them numb. How can people not be excited by the Champions League final, which represents the highest level of honor for European clubs.

    It¡¯s just that Mourinho¡¯s nervousness will not be revealed in front of others, except perhaps occasionally in front of Pei Wei.

    At this moment.  He heard noisy footsteps coming from the door.  He immediately sat up straight and looked at the door calmly.

    Pei Wei was the first to open the door, smiled at him, and walked over.  Stand beside him.

    The players came over one after another, began to take off their sweaty jerseys, and put on a clean and fresh jersey.  Generally speaking, players have to use three sets of jerseys in football matches. They change one after warming up before the game and another during halftime. No club will be stingy with their jerseys. There was once a Spanish club because of financial problems.  Due to the crisis, it was announced that the club would no longer provide players with chewing gum - a move that could save them more than 10,000 US dollars a year, which was briefly rumored to be a laughing stock.  But even if this club is so poor, I haven't heard that they want to save money on jerseys.

    After the players were almost replaced, Mourinho said: "I think through these days of training, everyone should understand our tactics in the game. Monaco's offensive ability is very strong, but their defense  His ability is a little bit worse. Although Deschamps is a defensive midfielder, he seems to be better at coaching offensive players when coaching the team. The outstanding performance of Giuly and Roten this season proves this, so in this game.  . The first thing we have to do is defend.¡±

    He turned around and clicked heavily on three places on the tactical layout board: "Giuly, Roten, Morientes, the three of them are all the firepower of Monaco's offense. Morientes' performance in the Champions League this season  Very good, he is the one with the most experience in the Champions League today, so Lucio, your defensive task today is to keep an eye on him! Your speed, strength and judgment are no worse than him, I believe you can do it.  Complete this task I still remember that game, you defended Morientes very well in that game.¡±

    Lucio nodded heavily. He was indeed Leverkusen's best performer in that game. Not only did he mark Morientes, but he also scored the equalizing goal through an attack.  But he won personally and Leverkusen lost.

    "I won't miss it again." Lucio secretly clenched his fists.

    "Others will defend according to the tactics, start intercepting from the midfield, and interrupt their offensive rhythm. I don't mind if you make bigger moves. Anyway, this game is already the final, and you will just miss it if you get a card."  It's just the first game next season Offensively, Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic take turns organizing, with Shearer at the forefront, using technology and strength to break through their defenses. We definitely have the strength, so we just need to follow our usual  Just do it according to the attacking rhythm!¡±

     "Do you know Andrei Shevchenko?" After arranging the tactics, Mourinho suddenly asked such a question.

    The players were stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Although they didn't know why Mourinho would ask such a question, it was impossible that they had not heard of this name.

    "He is one of the best strikers in the world, but does anyone think he has a chance to win the World Cup?" Mourinho asked another question.

    This time the players began to shake their heads. They were joking. Ukraine¡¯s strength can be considered second-rate at best in Europe. It is almost impossible to win the World Cup. In fact, they have not even entered the World Cup.

    ¡°In addition to him, there are also a large number of players such as Ryan Giggs and George Weah.

    ??Name, they dominate Europe, and everyone recognizes their strength. For us, there is one championship that we will never have a chance to win, and that is the World Cup championship.  So for these players, the highest honor they can get is the European Champions League.  "Mourinho said calmly: "I think, for most of us, it is just like Shevchenko said after winning the European Champions Cup last year: 'The Champions League is my World Cup.  ¡¯ This is a cruel but realistic fact. Now, the club-wide World Cup is right in front of you.  As long as you win this game, then you will win the World Cup - so, what do you think you should do?  "

    "Win the game!" Shearer took the lead in roaring, and then a huge roar immediately filled the entire locker room.

    "So -" Mourinho raised his right hand high, and then waved hard towards the door: "Let's go! Win our World Cup!"

    "Come on!" the players roared in unison, and then filed out of the locker room door.

    ?******************************************

    Countless celebrities attended the 49th Champions League, which started in Gelsenkirchen at Schalke Stadium. Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Prince Albert, and England Prime Minister Tony Blair were all present to watch the game.  Former German national team superstar Klinsmann, German racing legend Michael Schumacher and former International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch also appeared in the stands.  The ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in Germany also came to the scene. Most likely he came to Newcastle for the Chinese owners and Chinese players.

    There is nothing strange about Monaco¡¯s lineup, four, three, two and one, and the goalkeeper is Italian goalkeeper Roma.  The four defenders are Ibarra, Rodriguez, Jiwe and Evra, and the three midfielders Cisse, Bernardi and Zicos, in front of them are Roten on the left.  Giuly is on the right, Morientes is in the middle, and Croatian forward Pulsho is on the bench.

    Just like Mourinho thought, Deschamps was very confident in his offensive line. Morientes' foot injury just happened to send him on, and Jean scored seven goals in the Champions League.  Pulsau, the second top scorer on earth, is on the bench

    But it¡¯s no wonder that the top scorer is Morientes, who scored nine goals. Who knows that Monaco¡¯s offensive line can no longer accommodate two centers.

    Newcastle¡¯s lineup surprised everyone.

    In the last away game against Deportivo, Mourinho surprised people by putting Nie Fei on the left.  Letting Dyer play as the right midfielder achieved good results. Nie Fei, who switched to the left wing, not only did not show discomfort, but also showed extremely active performance.  He missed a single shot and assisted Hiller to hit the goal frame.  Create a decisive penalty kick If there is one best player in the last game, then it must be Nie Fei.

    However, in this game, Mourinho gave up the formation that achieved good results in the last game and made another bold change.

    Goalkeeper Given, four defenders Kufuor, Woodgate, Lucio, Hart, midfielder Makelele, Jenas on the left, and Trabelsi on the right!  Mourinho pushed Trabelsi into the defensive midfielder position, protecting the penalty area with Makelele and Jenas!

    In front of them is the frontcourt trident of Nie Fei, Ibrahimovic and Shearer!

    Deschamps must be familiar with this formationbecause this formation is simply a replica of Monaco's formation, four, three, two, one, Christmas tree formation.

    After AC Milan's Carlo Ancelotti won the Champions League with a Christmas tree formation last year, this 4321 formation became popular in continental Europe. Suddenly, I don't know how many teams played with Christmas trees.  But few can succeed.

    You must know that for a team, the important thing is not the formation, but the ability of the players. For example, in history, Juventus and Arsenal played well in the 442 parallel midfield, and the Chinese national team coach Ali Han also  Take a 442 parallel stance,??Losed the right to qualify for the Asian Cup and World Cup.

    No formation can always be successful, what matters is which formation can bring out the full strength of the players.

    Now it seems that the two young coaches Mourinho and Deschamps are not immune to this.
