Chapter 62: Ready

Chapter 62 Ready

When Jose appeared in front of the assistant coaches with two dark circles, he was shocked.

Jose's sleep quality has always been very good. Although it is difficult to fall asleep, it is difficult to wake up after falling asleep. In other words, he sleeps very soundly. As long as he ensures five hours of sleep, the effect is often better than the eight hours of sleep people who wake up.

A person like him, after sleeping for a night, even came out to see people with two dark circles, which shows how bad he has rested...

"Jose, you are like a giant panda with Chinese specialties." Natal smiled and joked with Jose.

Jose snorted, put a hot towel on his eyes, trying to make the dark circles lighter - he is also a person who pays great attention to his image.

Putting his eyes on, Jose closed his eyes and felt the pleasure of heat slowing down his fatigue, while asking Natal: "All the players are up, are they?"

"Get up, they have finished their breakfast and are resting now," Natal replied.

Jose nodded slightly. The League Cup final was held in the middle of the week, so the game was not in the afternoon, but at 7:30 pm. Although Jose woke up at twelve o'clock, it was still not too late.

"Let them move on, eat more Chinese food... start at four o'clock in the morning, and then move on for an hour, and we will leave on time at five o'clock." Jose said with his eyes closed.

The assistant coaches nodded one after another and then scattered to do their own things, leaving only Natal with Jose.

"Jose... are you... nervous?"

Seeing Jose, who had scalded the towel with boiling water again and then covered his face, Natal asked carefully.

Jose did not answer. After a while, he took off the towel on his face. His skin stimulated by hot water was rosy and shiny: "Nervous? How could I not be nervous? You know that I am officially coaching the game. Even if I coached in the second team, I have only coached for a year... After coaching for a year, I will encounter the final of the League Cup. If you were me, would you be nervous?"

Natal smiled bitterly. If he had been replaced by him, he might have been even more nervous. At least Jose looks calm on the surface...

"But to be honest, I'm not particularly nervous either."

After wiping his face, Jose's face began to show a refreshing look. He put down the towel and smiled and said to Natal: "After all, even if he lost this game, no one blamed me, right?"

Natal was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it carefully and found that this is true...

It was already an unexpected surprise for Mallorca to reach the finals of European competitions for two consecutive years. And leading Mallorca, who had almost been relegated before, successfully relegated and entered the top ten, Jose is now almost the position in the minds of Cooper. Mallorca lacks legend and history. The most brilliant scene in their history before was in the hands of Cooper. Now that Jose takes office in the middle of the journey, turning the tide is about to fall, the building is about to fall, which has made Mallorca fans begin to like him sincerely. Leading Mallorca to reach the final of the League Cup has tied Cooper's previous results. Even if he loses in the end, Mallorca fans will only regret it and will not blame Jose for not doing well enough - in fact, he has done well enough!

In terms of public opinion, they basically believe that Arsenal can win this game, and that they will not think there is anything strange about Mallorca losing, and there will also be no one who says Jose is a bad coach...

"So, actually, I don't need to be stressed at all, right?" Jose said with a smile at the end.

"That's right, that's how it is!" Natal nodded vigorously.

Jose smiled, then stood up: "I remember when I was in the United States, a Chinese in Chinatown said a motto to me - those who walk barefoot will not be afraid of those wearing shoes because they have nothing."

After saying this, Jose walked out of the door. Natal chewed on this sentence and slowly felt a little smell...

************************************************

After a series of preparations, at about five o'clock, Mallorca's entire team set out to prepare to go to the finals.

The bus started moving smoothly. On the way forward, the players of Mallorca seemed very quiet, thinking about their worries. When they first realized that the team would participate in the League Cup final, Mallorca players were still very excited, even Nadal, who had already won the championship, was no exception. After all, the League Cup championship was the only vacant vacancy in his career! However, as time went by, this feeling of excitement had slowly calmed down, replaced by peace. The more calm the game approached, the more calm the mood would be.

If the players' energy will be affected by the league after passing the semi-finals, maybe they wouldn't think about this problem at the time. However, after the league ends, the players' emotions are easily caught up in fear of gains and losses - after all, most of them have never been involved in the European championship! This is different for Arsenal players. After all, they are strong teams, giants, and have won the league championship. The League Cup is not enough to excite them unless it is the Champions League...

The mentality of Mallorca players is most suitable for playing games.

Regarding the tactics of this game, Jose had already secretly practiced many times before, that is defense, extreme defense, and even gave up the defensive tactics of offense in order to prevent the opponent from scoring goals!

In view of Arsenal's not particularly outstanding offensive ability and Wenger's general on-site command ability, Jose has prepared this set of tactics for more than half a month. For the middle of the season, it is almost unimaginable that it takes more than half a month to prepare a set of tactics. Jose wants to take advantage of this to give Wenger a set!

When I saw the white ceiling of Paken Park Stadium from afar, although the Mallorca players had calmed down, their hearts could not be suppressed.

The League Cup final is coming!

*********************************************

Paken Park Stadium, built in 1992, was formerly the Denmark National Stadium. It began to be rebuilt in 1990. After reconstruction, it became the home court of the Denmark national team. It became the home court of the Copenhagen club two years ago. In UEFA's assessment, the stadium was rated as four stars and qualified to host the League Cup final, but is not qualified to host the Champions League final - this qualification, only a stadium rated as five stars can be qualified to host.

When the bus opened the close-up track, the Mallorca fans who had been waiting there for a long time without entering the court immediately cheered loudly. In addition to shouting the names of stars such as Tristan, Ngongga, Nadal, etc., Etoo also received huge cheers shortly after joining. What was a bit surprising was that the Mallorca fans called more, but Jose's name was!

Poor Mallorca fans, there are really not many stars in their team...

Jose waved to the bus proudly, then turned around and smiled and said to the players: "See, I'm more popular than you..."

The players of Mallorca collectively booed, and then laughed out loud from the bus, filling the entire bus...

It was not until after getting off the bus that Jose and Mallorca's players waved their smiles and walked off the bus one by one with serious expressions. The reporters waiting around rushed forward, and the flashes flashed non-stop.

"Mr. Jose, your opinion on this game is..." A reporter squeezed in.

"No opinion." Jose answered briefly, then quickly walked into the passage, and the Mallorca players behind him also closed their mouths and followed Jose into the passage!

At this time, it is useless to say anything. Only when you perform well on the court can you have the confidence to say anything!

The locker room was quiet, and the players were all warming up under the guidance of the assistant coach. Jose sat alone in the locker room, the only sound in his ear was the ticking sound from the clock.

The locker room at Paken Park Stadium was well repaired. Although Mallorca won the away team this time, it was not affected much in terms of the locker room - if you played at the England stadium, it would be impossible to say. I heard that the environment in the away team's locker room was very bad - he knew this when Jose led the team to play away games in Leeds, the environment was really not very good.

This final is finally coming. He will lead Mallorca to start attacking the League Cup championship and challenge top coaches like Wenger and top teams like Arsenal!

When he was a fan in his previous life, Jose hardly watched the League Cup. Even in the League Cup final, he did not have a good group match in the Champions League, and he basically couldn't see the League Cup broadcast in China. It was not until the online live broadcast became a scale that he could only see the League Cup games. However, Jose had no interest in the League Cup games.

But when he really led Mallorca to the finals of the League Cup, he began to deeply feel the spirit of a European-level final!

There were hundreds of reporters interviewing this game, and almost all the famous and famous sports media in Europe sent people. As one of the two major European Cup finals, even if the importance is not as important as the Champions League, it is still an important event!

What's more, this season's League Cup is whether UEFA cancelled the Winners Cup, which allowed the first new League Cup competition to merge with the League Cup, which naturally attracted much more attention.

The League Cup champion can receive a reward of one million US dollars, and the runner-up is 500,000. However, to this point, this kind of bonus income is no longer in the eyes of both sides. What they value is the championship trophy - in history, they only know how to carve the winner's name, and they will not say who is the runner-up of the League Cup in a certain year...

Only champions are qualified to be remembered by people.

Jose was quietly working in the locker room and also adjusting his condition. The field was the battlefield for the players, and the coaching seat on the side of the court was his battlefield.

Now, he will challenge Wenger.

This will be a big battle.

There was a noisy sound from the door of the locker room. The players who had finished the warm-up walked into the locker room under the leadership of Natal and others, and then they sat down.

Jose looked at his players and then laughed.

He did not explain the next tactics, because Mallorca's tactics in this game only have one word, that is, guard!

Defense, thorough defense, intensive defense, and unspeakable defense.

"Are you ready?" Jose's opening remark was very nutritious.

"It's ready!" The Mallorca players responded with great excitement.

"So, get ready to go and let's surprise Arsenal!"

ps: Oh oh oh oh oh oh, I entered the top four! Although it was because of the new book of Shenji, it was also a proud score, right? But now it seems that the gap between the third place and the second place is not very big, and the second place is about to go down. Can you help me further and strive to reach the second place? Then I can touch the toad classmate...
