Vieri analyzed Mourinho’s tactical shortcomings at this stage. Veretout played in the back similar to Professor Bu.
Vieri became a Serie A commentator after retiring, and his sports channel was very popular, but Roman scout fontes thought Vieri lacked professionalism. Fontes hopes that the former Apennine soccer superstar will improve his professional quality, otherwise Vieri will become a "big-mouthed commentator" like Neville and Carragher. In order to prove that his professional ability is OK, Vieri analyzed Mourinho’s tactical shortcomings at this stage in the football program-Mu Shuai’s strength was defense. Since the Portuguese coach coached Tottenham Hotspur, his defensive concept has stopped. At this stage, his weakness is midfield defense. Vieri believes that Veretout is similar to Professor Bu in playing in the back.
Veretout’s performance this season is very good, Mourinho put him in the defensive midfield position, but the French star’s data is mainly reflected in the offensive level. From this detail, it can be seen that Rome’s back is biased towards attack, and the midfield interception is not enough, which leads to the pressure on the club’s defense line. Busquets is the defensive midfielder who tends to attack. Last season, Coleman asked Professor Bu to partner with De Jong to form a double defensive midfielder. At that time, Barcelona had the problem of attacking the strong and defending the weak. busquets did plan a lot of effective attacks, but most of the goals conceded by the Nou Camp system were because "Professor Bu was punched through".
Many fans think that Red Wolf’s defense in the new season is OK. Mu Shuai led Rome to play four official games, and this team only conceded two goals. Juventus has conceded three goals in only two games. Vieri believes that the Red Wolves seem to concede fewer goals because the club has not yet met a team with strong offensive ability. According to Mourinho’s defensive tactics at this stage, if Rome meets Milan duo or Lazio, Mourinho’s system will be easily penetrated by opponents. First of all, Vieri pointed out that "Madmen" did not pay attention to the series connection between defenders and midfielders, while Portuguese famous coaches only paid attention to the cooperation between goalkeepers and central defenders, which was feasible in the Premier League, but not very reliable in Italian football.
After the Azzurri won the Delaunay Cup, many teams in Serie A imitated Mancini’s way, among which Inzaghi and Pioli were the best, Inter Milan and AC Milan played a "half-attack and full-defense" football in the new season, and Milan’s attack was conservative but did not lose its appreciation, just because their midfield and backcourt were closely connected. Why is Juventus in such a bad state this season? Arteta’s players lack cohesion, which is only one of the reasons. For some reason, chiellini hasn’t started this season, which has caused the Bianconeri’s defense in the middle and backcourt to be out of line. This is the main reason why Juventus can’t win Udinese and lose to the newly promoted team.
It can be seen that Serie A in the new season pays attention to the stability and tandem ability of the midfield and backcourt, and Rome has some shortcomings in this respect. Therefore, Vieri analyzed Mourinho’s tactical shortcomings at this stage, which may lead to the Red Wolf’s failure in attacking the Champions League. Of course, some people will say that the Red Wolf doesn’t have a particularly famous defensive player at this stage, and the ability to protect the ball in the lower back will be enhanced. Veretout’s playing in the back is similar to Professor Bu’s, because both of them are midfielders who attack the strong and defend the weak. If the coach arranges them in the defensive midfield position, they can still instigate the attack and contribute goals and assists, but the defensive system of the midfield and the series connection of the center and backcourt are "a pit".
How should Mourinho solve the current tactical shortcomings? Vieri made several suggestions to prove that he is a professional commentator-if Mu Shuai wants to implement the tactics of double midfielders, the position of another midfielder, Cristante, may need to be slightly behind. After the ball, the author thinks this way is hanging, because it seems that Cristante is also a defensive midfielder who focuses on offense. Many fans have complained that mkhitaryan’s hardness is not enough, mainly because the Armenian star is not good at interception and defensive work in the middle and front court. If mkhitaryan pays more attention to the defense and actively returns the ball when he loses it, the defensive pressure of Letu playing in the back can be reduced.
At that time, how did Coleman solve the problem of Professor Bu’s insufficient defensive strength? The Dutch coach asked Barcelona’s midfield and frontcourt to tackle, and goalkeeper Ter stegen asked the attackers to do the same. The author believes that many fans still remember that the "Little Lion" and Messi had differences on defense a few years ago. At that time, Ter stegen thought that Mei Ball King and Suarez should participate in defense, but these big-name offensive players thought they had the privilege of not defending. These details show that the defense in the center and frontcourt can reduce the pressure on the goalkeeper, and Mourinho can also refer to the Rossoneri’s practice when solving his tactical shortcomings.
