That night, Li Zhao called together the seven teammates on the system list and asked about the "Teammate Bond Growth Program." But unexpectedly, they all seemed confused about it and said they had never heard of it.

With this system, I even thought that Li Zhao was joking with them.

The actual situation was completely different from what he imagined, which made Li Zhao understand that there might be a problem with his statement, so he explained the origin and function of the system in detail. In this way, they finally understood the whole thing.

reason.

"We have never heard of the name of this system, and there is no program to proactively communicate with us. But if you say it is nothing special at all, it wouldn't be wrong. At least I feel that I am in training and competition.

The effect is surprisingly good. This situation has become more obvious recently. It seems that I can quickly master anything related to football. This kind of improvement speed is something I could never achieve before. Of course, the club's

Others are also making progress, but I always feel that their progress is not at the same level as the rest of us." It was Wang Ziyi who took the lead in responding to Li Zhao's question.

After Wang Ziyi, several other people nodded, saying that they had the same experience.

"That's right! I don't know why, but the cooperation between us on the court has also improved to a big level. It seems that each of us can understand each other's thoughts. When passing the ball, we can basically get into position in advance. Normally,

Under such circumstances, mistakes rarely occur." Hu Jinghang completed what he had not finished.

Finally understanding everything clearly made Li Zhao very excited, and he also became more confident in the next series of games. But now he has to rest early, because tomorrow is the second place in the Libertadores semi-finals.

round event, if he still wants to participate.

On July 15, the Portuguese faced off against their old rival Sao Paulo at the Calder Stadium. With a draw with the opponent in the first round and two away goal advantages, Mourinho was not under much pressure in the first game after taking office.

He was also very good at handling this situation. So he simply put the Li Zhao brothers who had just returned to the team on the substitute list, and the plan was to arrange their playing time in the second half.

In addition to these normal changes, there was another person on the coaching bench on the sidelines at this time - Fan Zhiyi.

That's right, after learning that Mourinho had become the Portuguese coach, Xu Genbao decisively sent Fan Zhiyi, who had nothing to do for the time being, to study. Naturally, Li Zhao would not neglect the help he needed, but he would not just follow the required procedures.

It was sloppy, but fortunately Fan Zhiyi's level was still passable, so Mourinho simply accepted him and made him another assistant coach beside him.

The previous coach of Sao Paulo, Fernando Diniz, has resigned before the start of this season, and the new coach is their former legendary goalkeeper Ceni. Although his time as coach is still short, his coaching ability has been unanimously recognized by the industry.

Recognition, being able to lead the team to the current level of the Copa Libertadores is also the best proof.

Although the opponent was unexpectedly tied 2-2 at home in the last game, if Su Maozhen continues to be coached, he still has a certain degree of confidence to win the final game. It's just that the Portuguese side suddenly changed coaches.

He was caught off guard, and all the tactical arrangements he had made before were useless. Although he had learned about Mourinho through the media, he really didn't have any confidence in his heart.

After the game started, the Portuguese team indeed adopted a relatively safe anti-counterattack style in the first half. As for whether the scene was good or not, that was secondary compared to the actual victory. Mourinho didn't care.

These are all nonsense. Moreover, the Portuguese fans are relatively rational on this point. As long as they can win in the end, they will naturally not have much objection. The Portuguese team's defense in the backcourt is very compact and tight.

This makes the Sao Paulo team seem to be more proactive in attacking, but they are unable to find good opening opportunities. Even if they shoot a few shots from the outside, the result is probably no return.

It is not the Portuguese style to just take a beating without fighting back, and Mourinho will never advocate this in his tactics. Behind the thick turtle shells there is a sharp knife that can poke a hole in the opponent at any time. Wait.

When the opponent was tired and exhausted, that was the moment when the sharp knife was unsheathed. In the second half of the first half, the Portuguese took advantage of the opponent's offense and defense and frequently went out, and the situation on the field was instantly reversed. However, the Portuguese took advantage of the situation.

The opponent's last line of defense was strong enough to prevent the Portuguese from taking action.

After 45 minutes of half-time, neither side could score a goal, and the suspense of victory continued into the second half. Mourinho was like a seasoned hunter who was patiently fishing, with no sign of loss on his face.

There is no sign of anxiety, because he knows that the other party will definitely not lose his composure before he does, and then it will be easier for him to reveal his flaws.

Sure enough, after the start of the second half, the Sao Paulo team made substitutions and adjustments to further strengthen their offensive intensity, but this was at the expense of some of their defensive capabilities. Mourinho did not immediately respond after discovering this situation.

Instead of taking action, he waited for the opponent's several attacks to fail before taking several countermeasures, replacing Li Zhao and Leonard, who had been waiting for a long time, on the field.

After the two brothers came on the field, the Portuguese's firepower on the offensive end really increased a lot. In the 68th minute of the game, the Portuguese's quick counterattack tactics worked. Li Zhao's pass accurately found Leonard, who successfully countered offside, and the latter was wide open in front of him.

Under such circumstances, he passed the opponent's attacking goalkeeper and easily scored the ball into the empty goal.

After taking a one-goal lead at home, the Portuguese team became more comfortable in controlling the rhythm of the game. On the other hand, the opponent became more impatient and committed more fouls.

In the 77th minute of the game, Leonard had another opportunity similar to before, but this time he failed to repeat his old trick. When he broke through to the Sao Paulo team's penalty area, he was tackled from behind by the opponent's defender, and the fouled player was on the spot.

He was sent off with a red card by the referee, and Leonard also lay down in that area.

Obviously, he was hit because he didn't expect that his opponent would dare to shovel like this. Fortunately, he had developed a critical response and good physical fitness through years of martial arts practice, so he actually only suffered some minor scratches, but at this moment

If something goes wrong, get up immediately as if nothing is wrong.

Mourinho personally came over to inquire about his situation and considered whether to replace him again to rest. Although such a substitution would inevitably be a disadvantage, it was for the sake of the health of the players. Of course, Leonard smiled at this

He refused and continued to play after a simple process.

The next question is who will take the free kick. From a positional point of view, this free kick is really good, and the success rate of direct goals is very high.

At this moment, Li Zhao, who had not taken a free kick for a long time, stood up for a rare occasion and took the initiative to take the ball. Under the watchful eyes of the fans in the audience, he used an elevator ball with a tricky angle to score the ball.

Sent into the upper right corner of the goal.

Two goals behind and one less player on the field, the Sao Paulo team can be said to be in doom and gloom, and they still have league goals. Coach Cheney obviously understands that there is little point in persisting, and the gains may outweigh the losses, so he decisively chose to give up.

.

However, the Portuguese did not expand the effect. In the end, the Portuguese won 2-0 at home, thus defeating the big brother Sao Paulo in the same city with a total score of 4-2, and reached the finals of the Copa Libertadores as they wished.

.

After the game, Li Zhao originally planned to go with the team members for a small celebration, but when he passed by the control room, he accidentally discovered Fan Zhiyi who was arguing with the security guard on duty.

"What's going on?" Now that he has encountered it, Li Zhao, one of the principals of the club, naturally cannot ignore it.

"Oh, this person entered our place without permission and asked me to help him adjust the surveillance." The security guard on duty didn't seem to know Fan Zhiyi, so he quickly complained when he saw Li Zhao coming.

"Don't get me wrong, Xiao Zhao. You should know that I won't be this kind of person. The main reason why I came here is...~ Oh, forget it, I'll tell you the truth!" Fan Zhiyi said in embarrassment.

Knowing that this level was impossible to pass, he simply pulled Li Zhao aside and explained.

It turns out that Xu Genbao's purpose of sending Fan Zhiyi here is not that simple. There is another important task, which is to ask him to send back the tactical notes, recordings and videos related to Mourinho after the game for his own use.

Research. From this point of view, although Xu Genbao did not come in person, he was indirectly stealing his teacher through this method.

Fan Zhiyi could easily handle other things by himself, but the video data was a bit difficult to handle. But now that he saw Li Zhao coming here, he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply told them everything. Based on their relationship, he must have

He won't embarrass himself, and maybe he will help himself in turn.

"I thought it was a big deal. Just tell me no earlier. Why do it so secretly? This security guy is also one of the team's assistant coaches. He is not an outsider! So I have to trouble you.

Please take care of me." After understanding what was going on, Li Zhao couldn't help but feel funny, and then said hello to the security guard on duty.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to trouble you easily because of this matter, but I didn't expect that I still ran into trouble. Speaking of which, the supervision here is really strict enough." After finishing the video task, Fan Zhiyi followed.

Li Zhao left here, but he didn't forget to explain on the way.

"There is no rule without rules. It is precisely because of our strict control of every link that our players can play football without any worries. Leave this matter to me in the future, but next time you can

Stop being so reckless!" Seeing Fan Zhiyi's sincere look, Li Zhao couldn't help but smile, but he was unambiguous and actively agreed to follow up on these videos.

He could also understand Mr. Xu's intention of doing this, and he deeply admired his dedication to the football career, and he also understood the meaning of the saying "The old man is brave and aims for thousands of miles." The reason why he agreed so readily this time,
