Mourinho was the commentator for the European Championships, supporting England and Portugal. The Three Lions and Italy met in the final, does Mourinho dare to support England? After all, the Portuguese coach is the head coach of Roma in the new season, if he continues to support the Three Lions, how will the Italian Football Association treat him? In order to have a decent coaching career in Serie A, Mourinho gave Mancini a trick - Barrera plus The Younger Chiesa's wing corridor to improve efficiency. Because Mourinho found that most of the Blues' attacks depended on the central axis, Jorginho and Immobile were the main offensive lines of the Mancini system.
From Uncle Bird's analysis of the system of the two sides in the final, fans can see that Mourinho is still a manager who pays attention to the offensive line - when Mourinho coached Tottenham Hotspur, although he wanted the club's offensive system to be diversified, he still built the offensive main line of Son Heung-min and Kane. Of course, the White Hart Lane stadium has made the concept of attack clear under Pochettino, why was the "madman" more successful in his first season at Manchester United? Because Ibrahimovic was in the squad at the time, the Red Devils had a clear direction in attack. Although This time Mancini also made the Italian team show a multi-line blossoming feeling, but in Mourinho's view, the main line of attack of the Blues is more clear.
In the final, if the two sides in the final still follow the same style as before, it may make the scene more conservative. Mourinho expects the first half of the European Championship final to be conservative on both sides, and neither Mancini nor Southgate is likely to let the players play against each other. The Italian team will focus on Kane as the Tottenham star made a big splash in the knockout rounds, and before this tournament, the Magic Bird predicted that the disciple would become the top scorer of this European Championship. But now Mourinho has changed his mind: "Kane wants to score twice in the final, which is a difficult thing to happen, because after Italy reached the knockout stage, they conceded only one goal in a single game. ”
However, in this European Championship, England's defense is even better, they did not concede a goal until the semi-finals, how did the Blues break through the concrete defense of the Three Lions? Mourinho's suggestion was that Jorginho, Insigne and Immobile would be the focus and that the side corridor between Barrera and Chiesa Junior needed to be opened. If Mancini relies too much on the central axis, italy may suffer, because Wakatori is a Chelsea star, most of Southgate's players are also playing in the Premier League, and opponents know Jonginho's playing habits very well.
Mourinho believes that Inter youngster Nicoló Barrera has not yet played his strengths in this European Championship, as a hero of the Nerazzurri, the "madman" is more concerned about the juniors of the Meazza Stadium. Judging from a series of matches at Inter, Barrera belongs to the team type player, of course, his ability is also good, but he mainly cooperates with his teammates to show his role and status in the team. Mancini is also aware of the characteristics of the nerazzurri young player, the coaching staff gave Barrera a lot of opportunities, and as Chiesa Jr. entered the main squad, the side corridor formed by the two of them is also a very threatening offensive line if they can play their own characteristics.
Therefore, Mourinho's move to Mancini is to enrich the Italian team's offensive line, and Barrera plus The younger Chieza's wing corridor should improve efficiency. If Mancini can make the two men superimpose their abilities, they will not only ease the pressure on Giogen, but also make the Blues more efficient in attack. The Magic Bird also said a key point - the Italian team conceded fewer goals in this tournament, but they did not score a lot, you know that Inmobile and Insigne are "brushes" in the league. These goal-scoring forward players will be targeted by Maguire and Stones in the final, and Barrera and Chieza Jr. need to be more brilliant in their offensive line.
