Two 10 minutes ago.
Zidane was looking through information on Manchester United players and playing styles when he heard a knock on the door.
"Just come in, the door is unlocked."
This is Zidane's habit. As long as he is not sleeping, he does not lock the door, so that the coaching staff and players can come and chat with him.
But unexpectedly, the person who came in was beyond his expectation.
"Jose? Is that you?"
"Zi Dan, let me see you."
"Oh, I didn't expect it. Please come in."
"I'd better wait. You can clear away the information on the table first to prevent me from seeing something I shouldn't see."
"Haha, you guy."
Although they are rivals on the court, the two have always had a good personal relationship.
Especially in the 2012-2013 season, the two worked together at Real Madrid.
At that time, Mourinho was the first-team coach and Zidane was the U17 coach. The two had many technical and tactical discussions.
Zidane is a superstar, and his understanding of football has benefited Mourinho.
Mourinho's coaching experience has given the fledgling Zidane a lot of help.
The two had a deep personal relationship.
Even when Mourinho left Real Madrid, he strongly recommended Zidane, saying that he would become the future of Real Madrid.
Sure enough, the next season, Zidane became the assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team.
After several seasons of training, the results finally came to fruition, and he led Real Madrid to win the Champions League last season.
Now, the miracle of defending the Champions League championship is on the line.
The two of them were sitting in the room, chatting casually.
"Zidan, if your team can win the Champions League, it will be a miracle. No team has been able to do it since the Champions League was restructured."
"Jose, if your team can win the Champions League, then you will become N champions, and N is definitely greater than '1999' in 3."
"Haha, in other words, no matter who wins the championship, it will be good."
"Yeah, they're all good."
"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something. At the beginning of this season, we played several friendly matches in North America."
"Yeah, we even fought against each other at that time."
"We met several opponents, Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the interesting thing is that all three of your teams are Manchester United's opponents in the knockout stages of the Champions League."
"That's true, it's quite a coincidence. Speaking of which, do you think which one of us is more likely to make it to the finals?"
"Haha, this question makes no sense."
"Well, wish us all good luck."
Mourinho did not stay long before leaving Zidane's room.
Friendship is one thing, and understanding Real Madrid's status from Zidane's words is another.
However, Zidane remained tight-lipped and revealed nothing.
Among the younger wave of coaches, Mourinho is very optimistic about Zidane.
Smart, stable, and has the experience of a former ball champion level athlete.
As long as the relationship with the club and management can be properly handled, the future is absolutely limitless.
But that last bit is difficult.
After all, not everyone has Ancelotti's emotional intelligence, and even Zidane has difficulty finding a balance between personal ideals and club interference.
He has heard rumors that Zidane is likely to leave Real Madrid after the season.
He has some objections to the club's transfer strategy and employment requirements.No matter what, his experience at Real Madrid was very successful.
So when he was leaving, he looked forward to winning the Champions League title more than anyone else and leaving with the aura of defending the title.
He turned around and became a legend.
I walked downstairs and saw Cristiano Ronaldo. We chatted for a few words, but they didn’t talk in depth.
Although the two had a common experience in Real Madrid, their relationship was average.
Especially in the last stage of his departure from Real Madrid, he had a very unhappy relationship with some players in the team, such as Casillas.
But Ronaldo, a fellow Portuguese, did not stand on his side.
Even though they share a common agent, Mendes, the relationship between the two is still somewhat estranged.
Looking up at the sky, Mourinho shook his head.
This is the third time this season that we have played against Real Madrid.
In the pre-season warm-up match, Manchester United and Real Madrid tied 1-1 in North America.
In the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season, Manchester United played against Real Madrid for the second time. The red Europa League champion narrowly defeated the white Champions League champion 2-1.
Two days later, they were about to face each other for the third time.
Even though the match is about to begin, Mourinho has not finalized the tactics.
Because Real Madrid is too strong.
It's so strong that you can't even find any shortcomings and loopholes.
On April 4, after the last training session before the game, Manchester United soldiers came to the tactical training room again to watch the Real Madrid game video.
Perrin also explained the characteristics of Real Madrid players to the players again, and Mourinho supplemented on the side.
Manchester United players now know this opponent very well.
Even so, everyone still listened carefully to Mourinho's explanation.
You must know that this team is the team that Mourinho has led and the team that has won the championship.
He knows everyone's strengths and weaknesses very well.
But today, Mourinho is very serious.
Analyzing Real Madrid's last two games for the last time before the game, Mourinho signaled Perrin to turn off the big screen.
At this time, the players also stopped discussing and looked at their coach.
“Lads, I must remind you again what a formidable enemy we face tomorrow.
"In today's European football, there is a saying about King Saren, but I think the current Real Madrid is a special one.
"Both Bayern and Barcelona are not in good form this season for some reasons.
"Actually, Real Madrid's state has also had its ups and downs, but in my mind, Real Madrid is definitely an explosive team.
“Especially on the cup stage, they are the strongest team in international football today, bar none.
“Even compared with them, we don’t have any technical advantages.
"This Real Madrid don't even have flaws, that's the scariest thing,
"And they have a lot of top players who are top-notch in their respective positions.
"A super state may break out at any time,
"Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the three best stars in international football today. With him on the court, Real Madrid can almost start the game with a 1-0 advantage;
"Modric, Toni Kroos, and Casemiro are definitely the most stable midfield combination in Europe this season, with excellent offensive and defensive capabilities;
“The defensive line combination of Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal is experienced and good at both offense and defense.
"And their goalkeeper Navas is also in excellent form this season.
“This team is so strong.
"I rarely praise my opponents before a game, but today is an exception.
“It can even be said that Real Madrid is the strongest opponent we have faced this season, bar none.
“So we will definitely encounter a lot of trouble in the next two games.
"If you want to win, there is only one way to go -
"Don't make mistakes yourself, and then wait to seize the opportunity of the other party to make mistakes!
"Only in this way can we continue to move forward and create miracles!" (End of Chapter)
