In the midst of everyone's speculation, the players of the two teams also came to the field through the players' tunnel.

The substitute players also came to the bench and sat down.

"Now we can see Li Chu sitting on the bench through the broadcast footage, he is whispering with his teammates next to him, he seems to be in a good mood, very relaxed, as if joking, the two of them talking and laughing."

The commentator also talked about the current state of Li Chu based on the broadcast footage, because he has always said that Li Chu, there may be some problems here, either there is an injury, or there is some contradiction with Mourinho, resulting in such an important game actually did not start, but now I see Li Chu sitting on the bench, and my teammates are also talking and laughing, which is not like that at all.

This makes everyone a little confused, I don't know what the situation is, it stands to reason that even if Mourinho is a master tactician, he can't put the most weighty, offensive and creative player on the bench? What is this trick?

Is it said that Mourinho is now too far behind in the score, so he does not plan to use all his strength in the Champions League to keep the hope of winning the Premier League, but such a guess does not seem to be right, after all, although Manchester United and Manchester City are only two points apart, the initiative is completely in Manchester City's own hands, as long as Manchester City wins all the following games.

Manchester United, no chance.

For this relatively bizarre situation, no professional commentator or fan can guess what the situation is? In fact, even Mourinho himself is not very clear.

It's just because Li Chu found Mourinho before the game, saying that if he can come off the bench in this game, he will play better and help the team turn the game around.

Being able to play better off the bench sounds very nonsensical and doesn't seem like a normal opinion, but Mourinho still chose to believe Li Chu, after all, his appreciation of Li Chu has lasted for several years.

To use a less appropriate metaphor, it seems to be like a goddess and a licking dog.

Mourinho pursued Li Chu for so long to easily attract Li Chu to swing at this time, Li Chu's performance has been very good, so Mourinho will give Li Chu more tolerance.

Although Mourinho in the world does not understand what is going on, but when he played Manchester City before, Li Chu came off the bench, and then we kept reversing the game, and according to his professional vision, Li Chu came off the bench and was indeed better than the start.

Scientifically speaking, it may be because sitting down the field first can be very clear about the state of each player and the tactical arrangement of the opponent.

Once the bench comes off, he will play very targetedly.

In addition, others have played for a half or even longer, and their physical fitness is also consumed, and Li Chu is a person with very good physical fitness, jumps high, runs fast, is also very sensitive, and is also very strong, at this time, compete with the other party for physical fitness.

The other party naturally has to be more inferior, plus Li Chu's skills are also very skillful, so that 1+1 is naturally greater than 2.

Of course, this is Mourinho's inference based on the logical aspects of a professional football coach, but since there is a request in this regard, he certainly will not refuse, after all, the two are now in the honeymoon period and are in a very close partnership.

Besides, Li Chu only said that he would come off the bench, but he didn't say when he would come off the bench, maybe he played 20 minutes in the first half, or even 15 minutes Mourinho felt that the situation was wrong and would replace Li Chu.

Again, this is also a substitute appearance.

After solving this problem, the other problems seem very simple.

Of course, if you play in 15 minutes, you will still play well, which makes the logical relationship of Mourinho's brain supplement non-existent.

However, the manager and his henchmen do not need to explain too much.

In fact, not only football commentators and fans expressed considerable surprise that Li Chu was still sitting on the bench at this time, but also Tottenham Hotspur manager Pochettino.

Originally, he had already thought of various ways to restrict Li Chu, but he did not expect that Li Chu actually sat on the bench, you must know that he also made different tactical deployments in different positions according to Li Chu's appearance, such as what should be done when appearing in the forward line.

What should be done when appearing in the midfield, and what should be done when appearing in the position of the back, as a result, Li Chu appeared on the bench.

This made Pochettino feel like he had punched cotton, very uncomfortable.

But everyone's starting list has already been reported, so you have to line up according to this plan, and the specific will have to wait until after the kick.

When Mourinho saw Tottenham's roster of appearances, he immediately set his sights on one person, that person is Colombia, central defender Sanchez.

Therefore, Mourinho also made temporary targeted deployments in the dressing room before he came on.

Manchester United's side actually had some players who played against the centre-back and won 2-0.

Sanchez's physical fitness is quite good, but his brain is often short-circuited and he has problems with unknown choices.

In the Europa League final that year, Jose Mourinho scored two goals against him in the end, both of which slipped through Alexis Sanchez.

In fact, many people don't understand why Pochettino trusts Sanchez so much, but how many options do they have? At that time, the two potential stars in Ajax's backline, one was De Ligt and the other was Alexis Sanchez.

Mourinho in the Europa League final, against Sanchez at once beat the opponent's value, you must know that De Ligt is worth more than 70 million, the final deal may be around 80 million euros.

And Sanchez was only 40 million euros, which was collected by Pochettino, which is simply the price of cabbage, you must know that Sanchez and De Ligt were equally divided at that time.

In Pochettino's opinion, this is probably a bottom-hunting act, especially since his team needs to press on the whole from time to time, and the athleticism of the back line is particularly important at this time.

And Toby Adweirold, athletic ability has never been very good, fast enough, physical enough, strong, the other Vertonghen although strong enough, tall, not slow, but after all, very old.
