Is Mourinho's tactics really outdated? Wrong Dybala is a failure!

There are many reasons for Mourinho's disgrace in Rome, and it is difficult to explain it at once, and the most direct reason on the surface is that Roma has a poor record this season, and people who don't know what is going on will pull on some clichés such as outdated tactics and backward concepts.

But is that really the case?

Let's speak with facts, the tactically outdated Mourinho, in his first season in charge of Roma, helped the team lift the first European Cup trophy in European football, and the following year, he almost led the team to win the Europa League, if it were not for the referee Taylor's ignorance of the obvious handball in the opponent's penalty area, Mourinho is likely to lead Roma to achieve the miracle of two consecutive European trophies.

Many people may not be able to understand the significance of a Europa League for Mourinho and his Roma coach, this is by no means just a championship trophy, because the Roman temple is small, will have little money, and cannot shoulder the burden of double-line operations, the Europa League is their only chance to achieve corner overtaking to get the Champions League ticket the following year, and the loss of the Champions League seat can bring some of the superficial and potential huge benefits to the team, and also for Roma to sell players in the summer window, dismantling the main squad that has been running in for nearly two years, laying the groundwork.

In my opinion, Ibañez, who was only 24 years old at the time, had a tough style, fast speed, and a certain ability to play the ball, and was in the year of playing, and the attendance rate was high, no matter what, he had to stay, however, Roma sent him away so unclearly, no way, the team had to settle the account, 31.5 million euros in other teams may be a matter of waving his hand, but here in Rome is life-saving money.

There were even rumors that the Friedkin consortium wanted to send Mourinho away at that time, but in the end, the matter was blocked by Pinto, the director of the club at the time, and the matter did not finally take place.

The reason why Ibañez is so important is that Mourinho has always attached great importance to the central axis, Roma has conceded 24 goals in 20 games this season, an average of 1.2 goals per game, and last season in 38 games, conceded 38 goals, an average of 1 goal per game, which does not take into account that Roma reached the Europa League final last season, and the main focus of the second half of the season is on European competition.

And the most important part of the central axis, many people will always have the impression of Mourinho's style of play compared to a stump type center forward, a few black and hard midfielders, but in fact this is very one-sided, Mourinho has relied heavily on practical technical flow midfielders since he coached Inter Milan to promote the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Before coaching Chelsea, it was three versatile midfielders - at that time, Mourinho advocated a 4-3-3 formation, as for why this set of formations that once swept the whole of England was rarely used later, we might as well look at Arsenal's weakness for so many years after Vieira's departure, we should understand how difficult it is to find three versatile top midfielders.

Let's go back to Mourinho's favorite technical and practical midfielder, Sneijder during the Inter period was impressive, he has the cunning of the traditional forward midfield, but he is different from the traditional forward midfield's preference for the slow pace of the mud and water, in Mourinho's football philosophy the most relied on from defense to attack, Sneijder can not only send the best behind-the-back ball for his teammates in a timely and accurate manner, but also can step up when the team needs it, and make a big hit.

Pogba during Mourinho's tenure at Manchester United is a counterexample, since returning from France's World Cup victory, Pogba, who prefers hairstyles more than self-improvement, always considers himself the world's No. 1 midfielder from time to time, and used to always obediently snuggle up next to Mu Shuai to listen to the teachings, but then gradually disagreed with Mu Shuai's criticism of his frequent change of ownership in the midfield because of playing tricks - who hasn't made a mistake?

Mourinho mentioned many times in subsequent interviews that the current players are different, in fact, what is revealed is a kind of helplessness, and it can't be said that there is a mistake in the first place, does this have anything to do with whether the coach is old and new?

There are people who don't think it's a big deal to chase these shadows for Mu Shuai who can't handle the relationship with young people, and it's really enough.

Speaking of which, as an additional sentence, if the unwillingness to enforce tactical discipline due to the problems of individual players themselves can also be attributed to the outdated tactics of the coach, then what he said must be right, and there is anything wrong with strong words to this extent?

Speaking of Roma, Mu Shuai's first season in the team, what is the midfield, I believe I don't need to say more, everyone can also see that Mkhitaryan is the only technical midfielder in the team who can handle it, but Mkhitaryan has extremely limited coverage of the field due to age and physical fitness, so Mourinho puts it more in the midfield position of the three midfielders in the back five system, so that he can play his strengths and avoid weaknesses and play the greatest role possible.

But it's a pity that Mkhitaryan spent a season researching out the instruction manual, and as soon as the next transfer window opened, Mkhitaryan was recruited by Inter. So, Mourinho shook Dybala with a shaker.

而这步棋,在笔者看来,既是妙招,更是败笔。

Dybala, the Argentine genius who was once expected by everyone, is one of the few elves in this world, with the delicacy of a traditional forward midfielder and the agility and speed of modern football, technically speaking, it can indeed bring a lot to Mourinho's team. You might as well take a look, Roma has Dybala and no Dybala, it is two completely different games.

But as Mourinho said, he is not Harry Potter, he has no magic, Dybala's most serious shortcoming is his injury-prone physique, why Juventus put it on the shelf in the later period, the reason is that he is too easy to get injured, it is common for most of the season to recuperate, and any team building a team with Dybala as the core is a big risk.

But there is no way, Mourinho also wants to have another Sneijder, or copy another Dybala, and the two are used interchangeably, but unfortunately, these only exist in fairy tale books, and Mourinho still paid it wrong after all.
