Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the European Championships, Mourinho broke up with Pei Wei. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't need to know. All he had to do now was enjoy the vacation and then make plans for the next season.

    He probably guessed what Pei Wei was going to do, which was just to contact about cooperation matters, work hard for Yunjia Tianyu¡¯s echelon to come to Newcastle for a year, and discuss cooperation matters with sponsors again

    To put it bluntly, in addition to benefiting the club, the things Pei Wei does can also indirectly help Chinese football. This is not an easy thing to do.

    Therefore, Mourinho has always admired Pei Wei. With Pei Wei's wealth and ability, there is no problem in being a comfortable club president. He can help a club achieve unprecedented glory, and then be worshiped by the fans.  ¡ª¡ªBut he didn't do this, or he was not just doing these things. This also made him a lot busier, but Pei Wei seemed to enjoy it.

    Although being the head coach of Newcastle, or to be precise under Pei Wei, his power is much smaller than that of other Premier League coaches, Mourinho is still willing to do so.

    He does not need to manage the club's planning. He is only responsible for the team. The composition of the team, which players need to be bought, which players who do not meet the team's strength should be transferred, and what is good in the youth team.  of young players who can be promoted

    Thanks to him having a generous boss who does not require him to sell his main players in exchange for transfer funds. Moreover, this boss, like himself, is a person who loves football very much and will not stop talking about football even when eating.  Besides, when you work under an owner who can provide you with almost constant transfer funds, why bother with such things as breaking even?  Isn't this kind of work more pure?

    The reason why a dictator like Mourinho is willing to work under Pei Wei is because he can be happier. Think about Ferguson who wants to take care of all the affairs of Manchester United. Think about how he can only think about everything by himself every season.  To dig out young players, even Wenger can build a championship lineup with only a few million pounds in transfer fees per season. Mourinho feels that he is lucky enough.

    Maybe I¡¯m a little behind you in terms of experience.  But the environment I live in is much better than yours If I can't gain an advantage over you even in this way.  So am I still Jose Mourinho?

    If before becoming the head coach of Newcastle, Mourinho still had some doubts about whether he could adapt quickly after three and a half years away from European football, then after this successful season, Mourinho has no doubt that he can adapt quickly.  Become a world-class head coach, become one of Ferguson, Wenger, Capello, Sacchi, Lippi, Hitzfeld, Daum one of them.  And it¡¯s the most special one.

    The reason why he has such confidence is not only because Newcastle won the Champions League - Mourinho has a clear understanding of this champion. Newcastle is probably the luckiest Champions League winner since the new century.  They did not meet a former champion team in the entire knockout round. Manchester United was eliminated by Real Sociedad, and then they eliminated Real Sociedad, which was no longer energetic. AC Milan was eliminated by Deportivo La Coruna, and then they eliminated Deportivo La Coruna, which was already overdrawn.  , Real Madrid and Chelsea were eliminated by Monaco, and then lost their strongest attacker after only 20 minutes in the final, almost handing the championship to Newcastle - if it were not for knowing that Pei Wei would not be doing the behind-the-scenes work  If so, Mourinho would wonder if UEFA was deliberately giving Newcastle a championship.

    What gives him confidence is that although Newcastle has won and lost in games against Manchester United and Arsenal.  But he has never lost to famous coaches such as Ferguson and Wenger in head-to-head confrontations. He has even defeated Irueta, Deschamps and other well-known coaches in Europe. It was in these games.  He gained a lot of self-confidence!

    In the new season, he is even more ready to do something big.

    Not only do we have to face powerful players like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in China.  In the European arena, we also have to play against giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Inter Milan, AC Milan, Bayern, etc. Only by playing against such giants can we truly reflect the strength of Newcastle and its own value!

    Therefore, preparations this summer are very important. Although they won the European Champions Cup, Newcastle's lineup still has big shortcomings. Bellamy on the forward line has always been out of tune with the whole team. Mourinho has planned  Give up on this weird-tempered Welsh genius, but as the only speed forward among the four forwards, how to make up for this shortcoming is naturally the top priority.

    Shearer won't play for too long, but Mourinho has already found a replacement for himMake up, that is Drogba from Ivory Coast. Although no one else knows it, Pei Wei and Mourinho feel that

    , after Drogba and Ribery spent an amazing season, they must be Newcastle.

    But once Drogba comes, problems will definitely arise. Even if Bellamy leaves, Newcastle will still have four forwards in the lineup (Congolese Lualua has been forgotten by Mourinho, and he does not have the ability.  In the current Newcastle formation), but the four forwards are all centers, that is, they are all forwards who have to be at the front and rely on their teammates to give them the ball. Although Ibrahimovic can also retreat, the four forwards  Not having a different type of person in it is obviously very dangerous.

    Therefore, in addition to Drogba, Newcastle will definitely buy a striker this year. He must have good speed and skills, have certain individual combat capabilities, his strength must not be bad, and he must also be mentally prepared to be a substitute Although he has never been in Europe.  There is no shortage of good forwards, but it is really difficult to meet the above conditions.

    Although it is difficult, Mourinho does not intend to give up. After all, if the forwards are all of the same type, it means that the tactics are monotonous. This season, Newcastle's tactics are a bit monotonous, but they did not encounter a very strong opponent in the Champions League.  , this shortcoming is not exposed.

    In addition, Newcastle's frontcourt attackers are in very good condition this season, but Mourinho cannot expect them to maintain this state forever. After all, Shearer is already thirty-four and will definitely not be able to perform in the next new season.  There will be too stable appearances. Ibrahimovic is not stable yet, and his performance is good and bad. Viduka has also begun to decline. A forward who relies on his body to make a living will decline quickly once he gets old.

    Look at Christian Vieri - of course he is still the king of Inter Milan now. When he was 32 years old, he terminated his contract with Inter Milan and went to his local rival AC Milan. At 32 years old, he is not too old for a striker. At this age  Baggio, Del Piero, and Inzaghi are all still in good condition, but Vieira only scored one goal in eight appearances in the season when he went to AC Milan, and then played in Monaco, Sampdoria, Atalanta and  Florence went back and forth, and although there were wonderful goals, the all-conquering center never appeared in front of the fans again.

    The defense also needs to make changes. The center backs are okay. Newcastle has center backs that are the envy of all Premier League teams. Woodgate, Lucio and Dawson are all tall but not slow to turn around. They have excellent judgment and headers.  An excellent defender with excellent abilities. Although Woodgate still has some qualities of a glass man, the presence of Dawson can completely make up for it. Coupled with a young Taylor who is willing to be a substitute, Newcastle's central defender configuration is quite outstanding.

    It is the right back that worries Mourinho. Both Trabelsi and Kufuor have their own characteristics, but each has its own shortcomings. Kufuor rarely assists when he is on the court, while Trabelsi assists.  The gaps in front and behind are also fatal, but it is really difficult to find excellent full-backs in Europe now, not to mention the issue of labor certification.

    The left back is okay. Bernard has excellent offensive and defensive abilities and has plenty of physical fitness, while Hart has rich experience and excellent free kicks. Both of them performed well taking turns playing the main role.

    The midfielder was Newcastle's best performance last season, and it was also the part that satisfied Mourinho the most. Although midfielder Makelele is thirty years old, he is still in excellent condition. Janus  He is becoming more and more mature, and veteran Speed ??is also a reliable substitute. After having Franck Ribery, Newcastle's midfield is already quite perfect. Maybe it is enough to add one or two people in the middle of the midfield.  Many people have been transferred, and Solano is already preparing to transfer. As a Peruvian international, he could only get playing opportunities in cup games and unimportant games last season, and he was in competition with Nie Fei and Dyer.  There is no advantage. Viana also played very few games last season. Mourinho did not look at him differently because he was his compatriot. He could not compare with Robert in terms of experience, and could not compare with Stewart in terms of speed and adaptability. Viana did not want to  He is wasting his talents on the bench. After all, he is only 21 years old and needs training in the game.

    The specific situation is almost like this. In addition to Cech, Ribery and Drogba, who have been determined to be introduced in advance, Mourinho also needs a speedy forward, a central midfielder, and a midfielder.  A right back - the latter refers to the case where a suitable candidate is available.

    This season is different from last season. Last season was almost like tearing down the entire team and rebuilding it - buying ten players, transferring twelve players, and replacing half of the entire team. This is because last season  Newcastle has too many players who are not suitable or worthy of a team competing for the championship, and this season they just need to find out and fill in the gaps, and Mourinho does not want hisThere is too much turmoil in the team.
