Football: Guards with knives, shovel Ronaldo at the beginning

"Unfortunately, the score was 90-4 at the end of 4 minutes. Liverpool's players were obviously not at their best."

Although it was a friendly match, Lao Zhan still connected to the live webcast platform for commentary.

That's Liverpool's game, how can you miss it?

"In the first half, Steven Gerrard and Coutinho each scored a goal and did not help the team win. Seats are clearly ahead of Liverpool."

"Mu's defense seems to be a bit unacceptable in Liverpool, and the players are very uncomfortable."

Lao Zhan is right, how can he be at ease?

Lindy watched the scene where Salah was named by Mourinho on the sidelines because he was a bit slow in retreating defense.

Obviously, the training field and the competition field are two completely different concepts.

Players still haven't gotten into the habit of dropping to the low post when returning to defense.

This was even more so with the second team that came on in the second half, players looking to prove themselves.

They lost themselves in the counter-robbery on the spot, and Paris' 2 goals came from this.

After the end of regular time, the two sides also had a penalty shootout.

This is also one of the preseason rules, regardless of the score in regular time.

There will be another penalty shootout after the end.

Mourinho looked at the tactical board in his hand and ordered five people to step forward.

The final score was 4-5 and Liverpool lost the penalty shootout.

No frustration was seen, the players just went back to rest in silence, while Mourinho returned to the hotel with Stephen Holland to continue the meeting.

This is not the game he wants. Liverpool after consecutive championships is more difficult than he imagined.

But he knows that the main reason for this is the transition from high-pressure offense to anti-counterattack, which makes those passionate young people uncomfortable.

Mourinho doesn't intend to convert them with a tirade.

Four days later

In the same stadium, Mourinho and Simeone met again.

As the two coaches who are not in the same league, the attitude of the two sides in this meeting is much more friendly.

The Madrid derby in the past and the current friendly match are simply very different.

Lindy also met many old friends such as Cork, Sanchez, David Luiz, but in the two years since he left, many of them have left.

But it was such a friendly match with a harmonious atmosphere that made both Mourinho and Lindy completely black-faced.

Even goalkeeper De Gea walked away without a word at the end of the game.

"2 to 5, Mourinho lost to Atletico Madrid led by Simeone. This Atletico Madrid team, which has been trained by Simeone for several years, already has the goal of the league championship this season."

"Liverpool has not won two consecutive games in the summer preseason. Just in the penalty shootout just now, they still lost to Atletico Madrid 3-4."

"Five goals, 5 came from counterattacks. Liverpool seems to focus on positional warfare and is completely defenseless against counterattacks."

"Koke performed extremely well in this game, and his continuous precise guidance is impressive."

"He has gradually become more important in Simeone's team."

"Sanchez and Falcao scored two goals each, which also showed the attacking firepower of Atletico Madrid's front line. You must know that the last time Liverpool scored 5 goals was the last time."

Not only Lao Zhan was extremely disappointed, but even Dalglish, who was watching the game through the network signal at home, frowned deeply.

"These boys are bloated, what is that bastard Lindy doing? The captain doesn't look like a captain!"

Dalgliesh patted the armrest and was about to get up, but he closed his eyes and sat down slowly the next second.

His wife was walking towards Shi Shiran with tea, her smile was gentle and her tone was not kind: "What? You don't want to watch it in the future?"

Letting out a breath, Dalglish leaned back:

"I just complained about the ugly kick in two sentences."

"Hehe, I heard you scold Lindy, this is less than the number of times you don't snore at night!"

Dalglish could only keep silent, but his heart was extremely anxious.

The same goes for Lindy.

He called everyone together in the hotel's top bar, of course, not everyone.

It's just that Salah, Coutinho, and Griezmann were named by him. As for Shaheen and others, Lindy plans to talk about it later.

"Sit down, I don't know how to curse."

They naturally knew why they were called here by Lindy. It would be nice if they were not called by the new coach.

No one thinks that Mourinho is an easy manager to get along with.

Madman?

How could it be gentle?

Everyone thinks that their actions can help the team win, and they still want to use their most familiar style of play to win when they are young.

Although they also obeyed the head coach's tactics and actively returned to defense, they wasted too much time in the siege every time.

This allowed the two wingers to play more with less and give the opponent a chance to score.

As long as you win, these may not be a problem.

But once you lose, the consequences will be very serious.

Mourinho just said lightly in the locker room after the game: "Think about it yourself, this is not a qualified game."

Yes, he described it as qualified, which is already the most restrained wording.

Because everyone knows that Giroud did not appear in this friendly match with 20 players because he retreated too slowly.

After the three sat down, Lindy asked the waiter to pour each of them half a glass of wine.

He personally pushed the wine in front of the three of them, the implication was very obvious.

"Everyone is an adult, I don't want to reason with you."

"Your problem, I think, you all understand in your heart, whether you like it or not, now, I don't allow anyone to conflict with the coach or cause conflicts in the locker room because of tactical issues."

Lindy's tone was as cold as ice cubes in a wine glass, which made the three of them a little uneasy.

When did you ever see Lindy lose his temper?

Most of the time, Lindy can firmly control his emotions.

At most, it is to stimulate the small universe, which is rarely the case.

The air pressure gradually decreased, and some people were overwhelmed and out of breath.

Coutinho spoke first: "Team Lin, listen to me..."

Before he could say anything, Lindy reached out to stop him: "You can save these words to explain to the boss, but now, I want your attitude, a professional attitude!"

"The player, on the pitch, must obey the coach's tactics. If he is wrong, the club and the fans will let him go, but before that, please remember, we are professional players."

Griezmann and Salah, who were about to follow Coutinho, suddenly died down.

Lindy doesn't accept explanations!

The three of them struggled a little. Lindy, who was so resolute, made them at a loss.

For Lindy, no matter how much he explained at this time, it was better to speak with results.

And how to speak with results?

That is to use Mourinho's tactics to win!

Having said all of this, Lindy looked at them coldly.

Whether the wine in front of me is a toast or a penalty depends on the attitudes of the three of them.
