On July 26, Argentina touched Brazil, which was also seen as a duel between Palacio and Adriano. Both of them are the most dazzling stars in this Copa America, and they are neck and neck in the scorer list. Who can get the top scorer and help the team beat the opponent at the same time, this is obviously the focus of all fans.

The coaches of the two teams also arranged tactics for defending the opponent's focus star for the last name. Among them, Bielsa's tactics are more clear, that is, with Palacio as the core in the frontcourt, use the offense to suppress Brazil, and at the same time let the defense The players focus on Adriano.

Palacio did not live up to Bielsa's expectations and took the lead in helping Argentina to score a goal in the 21st minute. However, before the end of the first half, Brazil took advantage of the negligence of Argentina's back line. Maicon suddenly shot forward and hit a long shot. Scored an equalizer.

8 goals made him overwhelm Adriano to become the top scorer of this America's Cup. At the same time, he is also the most valuable player officially selected by this America's Cup. The most important thing is that he is only 22 years old.

………………For Palacio's excellent performance in the America's Cup, while feeling happy, he also felt a certain pressure.

The first is the enthusiasm of many giants for Palacio. Among them, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan duo, Chelsea and other teams are very interested in Palacio. , Said that he hopes to introduce Palacio, especially AC Milan, he has maintained his interest in Palacio for two summers.

Last summer, they hoped to introduce Palacio, but firstly they did not have enough transfer fee, and secondly, they did not want to let Palacio go, but this year is different, they sold Shevchenko, holding in their hands. With a lot of money, they even hope to buy Kaka and Palacio in a package.

There has always been only one answer to outside offers, and that is rejection!

Palacio's excellent performance is really eye-catching, especially Bielsa's use of him, giving him absolute freedom in the frontcourt, which really allows Palacio to better play his comprehensive surname, in one fell swoop Activated his offensive firepower.

However, there is Ronaldinho on the left, Drogba in the front, and Kaka in the middle. Palacio can only be limited to the right, although he often changes positions with Ronaldinho, and the players run between each other. Quite often, but ultimately not as free as in the Argentine national team.

Mourinho was not surprised after seeing Palacio's outstanding performance in the Copa America, because Palacio is one of the best performers, he has such strength, but for the outside world, When Palacio should be the free agent and core of the frontcourt, Mourinho does not intend to do so.

The reason is very simple, in the football system of China, what is more important is the whole! =ban^fu##sheng-/;.{ban^fu][heng]

Like Argentina to attack with Palacio as the core, when Palacio is in good condition, Argentina may be in no position to lose, but once Palacio is taken care of by the enemy, or when the state is in a downturn , the team's offense will also be frustrated.

This can be seen in several matches of this Copa America in Argentina!

"Our football philosophy will not change because of a certain star. We pay more attention to the whole. In today's football world, only a team that pays attention to the whole has the ability to win the championship!"

Mourinho was very tough in an interview. He refused to reveal how he would use Palacio in the new season, but during discussions within the team, he said that he would not use Palacio like Bielsa did. , because that would destroy the tactical system.

It seems that in order to confirm his own judgment and the concept of maintenance, and to establish the direction of the next tactical development, Mourinho gave the first tactical discussion before the start of the new season to all the coaching staff and players present. Played a dark horse process of the Greek team winning the championship that he carefully recorded and edited.

"Before everyone knows it, the football we are familiar with has quietly changed its original rules. I dare to say that in the history of football, there has never been a period of time when we have paid more attention to the whole than we are now. With the team, this is a brand new game rule, the golden rule that determines the outcome of the game!"

Mourinho first made such an opening statement during the tactical discussion, and then played the video.
