Mourinho's rule of success: the whole team trusts him enough! Champions are not too far away

With a 1-0 home win over Leicester City, Roma reached the final of a European competition for the first time in 31 years. Mourinho thus became the first manager in history to reach the finals of the three Major European Competitions in the Champions League, Europa League and European Cup.

Scoring early to break the deadlock, the home team found a defensive counter-attack in the following matches. Roma gave their opponents 10 shots on goal, but nine of them were long-range shots from outside the box. The core area is airtight, and this is Mourinho's team. The Portuguese maniacs cried after qualifying, but the tears of winning should be sweet.

01. The Champions League has been crowned twice in the past: from Porto to Inter

Do you remember: he celebrated at Old Trafford?

Mourinho's managerial career began in the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica, as the youngest local manager in the history of the Big Red Eagles, he then left due to conflicts with management.

After moving to Leiria in the Portuguese First Division, Mourinho was favored by Benfica's sworn enemy Porto. His choice was controversial at the time, but it was difficult to even enter his personal list of major events in the future.

In his first year in charge of Porto, Mourinho won the Portuguese Premier League, the Domestic Cup and the Europa League. And that was just a warm-up, and the following year he not only defended the league successfully, but also won the Champions League in an incredible way.

Especially in the elimination of Manchester United at Old Trafford, Mourinho, who ran wild and celebrated passionately, let the world know that he was a "madman".

In that unpopular Champions League season, using the away slaying of dragons to make Ferguson abandon his son concede defeat, Mourinho proved his talent, and also let himself get Abu's favor and get the opportunity to coach Chelsea.

Defending Guardiola at camp Nou: Mourinho's defence was convincing

Although they helped the Blues establish their position in the Premier League, they have never been able to break through in the Champions League. Mourinho leaves London and his next stop is Inter Milan in Italy.

After a regrettable exit from the Champions League in the first year, Mourinho, who sent Ibrahimovic, ushered in the most suitable team for himself. The super midfield defensive team, whether it is the technical details when the foot is down or the awareness of the fall defense, is perfect.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barca, Mourinho, who started with a 4312 formation, limited Messi's attack.

In particular, the use of Zivo to play a left-back with his own center-back attributes, coupled with the fact that all three backs have a strong sense of standing and space limitations, make Barca in the middle of the road very uncomfortable.

This shot can be said to be a classic case of Zivo defending Messi, Messi who received the ball on the weak side and cut inside, a burst shot was blocked by Zivo, and then Alves wanted to organize a second attack to pick up Messi who did not have the ball in front, but was intercepted by Zivo halfway.

After getting caught up in a 10-man operation, Mourinho was able to actively defend Eto'o to protect the wing of the full-back, and the team became a 531 formation, so that Barca's attack could not play what it wanted.

Mourinho, who celebrated his promotion at Camp Nou, was even crazier than he had been at Old Trafford. Because he defeated the opponent he most desired to defeat--- Guardiola, which also became the beginning of The Future Guamue.

02. Who would have thought: Mourinho has been United's best coach over the years

Leaving a runner-up and two titles: Is Mourinho a success in coaching Manchester United?

After going to La Liga to play For Real Madrid but stopping in the Champions League top 4 for three consecutive years, Mourinho, who returned to Chelsea to coach, although winning the Premier League title, re-entered the "fall slope" in the third year, and he seems to have come to a bottleneck in his career.

Choosing to coach Manchester United has once again caused a sensation, after all, it is not so common to become the manager of two big teams in the same league.

Despite his poor record in the league, Mourinho took Manchester United all the way through the Europa League.

No matter how faltering along the way, at least United managed to reach the final.

Pogba scored and scored 2-0, and Manchester United won a game worth thousands of dollars, not only won the title, but also finally returned to the Champions League stage.

From the Champions League to the Europa League, the gap is actually not small, but Mourinho cherishes this victory. Unfortunately, Manchester United's management does not seem to care too much about the success of this time.

b. Years from now: will Manchester United fans miss Jose Mourinho and his champions?

I don't know how many people remember that when Mourinho led Manchester United to win the League Cup, the one who took the initiative to give the trophy to him was no one else, it was Pogba.

In the future, when Pogba applauds Mourinho's dismissal, will he remember the original meeting with the Portuguese madman?

Since Ferguson's retirement, Jose Mourinho has the highest 58% win rate during his tenure at United. At the same time, Mourinho has won 2 championship trophies, more than the other 4 coaches combined (only Van Gaal has won once).

I don't know if Tenhag could have done better, but at least for now, Mourinho is the most successful Red Devils coach since Ferguson.

03. Mourinho on both wings in Rome: there is a big surprise on the left side

Rome flanks on both flanks: Zaniolo and Zalevsky are key

After Mourinho was sacked before the League Cup final because Levi was reluctant to win the championship prize money and liquidated damages, he wanted to prove himself again and chose Roma as the next stop.

Under the current 3412 formation created by Mourinho, the attack of the two wings is mainly launched by Zaniolo on the right and Zalevsky on the left. Centre forward Abraham and forward Pellegrini have a wide range of motion, guaranteeing coverage and mobility when switching between attack and defense.

Zaniolo, in particular, has a strong first-point ability to pick up the ball, and he takes turns with Tammy Abraham. Relatively speaking, Roma's right side is the ball side, and the left side is the ball-free side on the large space set.

Zalevsky's forward insertion is well aware, and he can make full use of the space and complete a key part of the attack after receiving the ball.

It is clear from the GIF that Zaniolo won a long pass from the back this time, and then moved zalevsky on the left.

The latter sent a cross forward into the 30-meter area and found Pellegrini, but unfortunately the shot was blocked by the opponent and went out of the line.

Although the performance in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final was not very prominent, the 20-year-old Polish youngster Zalevski was Rome's biggest surprise this season.

The right foot will play at a high level on the left and even make people forget the regret of the injury of the great Italian left-back Spinazzolla.

This time Zalevsky succeeded in two strokes, forcing his opponents to foul tactically and win a well-placed free kick.

Not only will Zalevsky receive and pass the ball without the ball, but his passing standard is also very high. This time, the ball was sent directly over the top of the box near the midfield, allowing Pellegrini, who was inserted in front, to get a chance, but unfortunately failed to play well.

b. Who will Mourinho fear when he regains his defense! Nine of the opponent's 10 shots on goal were long-range shots

Statistics show that Mourinho's side gave their opponents 10 shots on goal in the second leg of the UEFA semi-finals, but 9 of them came from outside the box, and Leicester City only had one shot in the box when they were behind in 11 minutes.

So the away team ultimately failed to equalize, or even surprised that there were only 2 shots in the whole game? Mourinho, who has found a defensive magic weapon, is indeed not afraid of anyone.

Although Roma's retreat is 523, the back of the three in front of the court is good and will not let the opponent easily play the ball.

When Leicester City advanced on the flanks, Roma's back, left-back and left-back squeezed the side at the same time to bring pressure, and also gave Zaniolo a chance to counterattack after breaking the ball, but unfortunately Tammy Abraham failed to take the ball (and offside at the same time).

Let's take a look at the fall defense this time, which is very typical. On the left, there are still three people squeezing the space, while Pellegrini of the front waist is deeply defensive, following the opponent's forward no-ball receiving point, all the way to the back of center-back Ibanez.

After the opponent's return pass, Pellegrini stepped forward in time to once again limit the opponent's mid-range attack.

As you can see from the GIF, Pellegrini and Christant's up and down movements in this wave of defense are very complementary, making Leicester City very uncomfortable.

Finally, the defense protected the flank of the penalty area and behind center-back Ibanez, and it was the back Christant who completed the rib break.

Winning the game and qualifying for the final, Mourinho was left in tears of happiness. As the first manager in history to reach the finals of the three major European competitions in the Champions League, Europa League and European Cup, Mourinho has reasons to be proud.

Conclusion:

In this era of out-of-the-box centre-backs, it is indeed not an easy task to find a defensively strong midfield. Mourinho is also trying to further tap his offensive potential and keep himself up to date.

The basis of success is still that the whole team can trust Mourinho. After all, his football will be something special, and only a team that has faith in Jose Mourinho can get the reward of the championship.
