Chapter 44 So this is what...a soulmate is...
Old Si, with his bald head, started daydreaming on the spot.
However, no sooner had he said that than Wilkins sneaked over again.
"Boss, didn't you just tell me to call Deco to your office to calm him down?"
Upon hearing Wilkins' words, Scolari suddenly remembered that he had indeed said something like that.
But... thinking about it, I realized that my absolutely world-class 13 sets of variant tactics might have finally found a kindred spirit.
Old Si immediately made up his mind.
"He's a mature professional player now; he needs to regulate his emotions on his own!" (Deco: He used to call her "sweetie," and it hasn't been that long, and now...)
After frowning and saying something serious, Scolari strode towards his office building. Before he even entered, he told his secretary, Sofia, to make coffee for Su Yu in advance.
Not only did he make coffee, Scolari also cheerfully took matters into his own hands and personally moved the tactical files he had already prepared onto the large coffee table.
...........................................
The training match is over, and that concludes today's training session. Afterwards, the team members can relax in the physiotherapy room and then arrange their own time.
Meanwhile, on the training field, Su Yu had just finished packing his things and was about to go straight to Scolari's office when Terry, who had greeted him earlier in the locker room, suddenly walked up to him with Drogba.
"Hey! Let's have dinner together tonight! As captain, inviting every new player to dinner is a long-standing Chelsea tradition!"
Without any preamble, Terry said directly.
What the hell!
Tradition?
Damn it, we didn't mention this tradition when we were in the locker room!
Upon hearing Terry's invitation, Su Yu mentally grumbled for a moment, then smiled and quickly agreed.
Despite the complaints, we still have to give face to the captain and Warcraft.
...........................
After leaving the training ground and changing his clothes in the locker room, Su Yu went straight to Scolari's door!
"Come in, Su! Sit down. It might take a while. You don't have anything planned for today, do you?"
"Um... the captain just said he invited me tonight..."
Su Yu had actually sensed during the training match that Terry and Lampard, the veteran players who had invited him and extended an olive branch, didn't really like Scolari.
Moreover, according to the original timeline, Scolari's time at Chelsea was only a short four months before he was sacked and left.
But nowadays...
The one who gave me this opportunity was this kind and amiable fat old man in front of me.
Therefore, Su Yu told Scolari about Terry's invitation without much hesitation.
If the old man finds out that I secretly had dinner with Terry and the others without telling Scolari, what will happen?
maybe....
However, Su Yu's worries were completely unnecessary.
At this moment, Scolari's mind was filled with his tactical variations, and he couldn't care less about Terry's purpose in inviting Su Yu!
"It won't take up the evening, come on, take a look at these!"
Ignoring Su Yu's mention of dinner, Scolari directly handed Su Yu a... yes, a tactical summary.
"Boss! What's this?"
"This is the brand new tactic I've created for this Chelsea team! You know why that guy Jose was sacked, right? The boss didn't like his ugly football, so he hired me to make Chelsea beautiful, and these are the beauty secrets I've meticulously crafted for Chelsea!"
Ugly football... Beauty secrets...
Well, it seems the truth is indeed the same as the reports Su Yu saw online in his previous life.
穆一期的切尔西确实强大到了英超人人胆寒的地步，04年的切尔西一个赛季就取得了29胜8平1负积95分及全赛季只失15球的战绩，这个战绩刷新了英格兰顶级联赛的积分纪录及最少失球纪录，也成功的掀翻了曼联和阿森纳长时间垄断英超的二人转局面。
But while the results are impressive, the problem is that this Chelsea team... always seems to be operating under Mourinho's philosophy that a 1-0 victory is enough.
Fans always see other opponents attacking Chelsea, while Chelsea repeatedly manages to win by sneaking away despite being overwhelmed by direct attacks.
Furthermore, Mourinho's first stint in European competitions yielded little success, so in the end, he had no choice but to go to Milan to create a second legend.
After these images of Mourinho flashed through his mind, Su Yu quickly brought his thoughts back to reality.
Looking up at Scolari, whose eyes were wide open and full of expectation, as if he were planning to ask his wife how things went this time, Su Yu immediately nodded with what he considered to be the most sincere and earnest expression.
Opening the tactical notes, the first page is a diagram of the current main components of the first team.
The backline remained largely unchanged, primarily consisting of Terry, while Lampard and Deco formed the midfield duo, with Lampard positioned slightly deeper...
Not only the players' positions, but the map also shows a dense array of passing routes and markings.
The most obvious example is Lampard and Deco, with Deco alternating between them and Malouda...
It's very complicated and tedious!
If it were the old Su Yu, seeing this picture would probably only allow him to nod in a perfunctory manner, give Scolari a thumbs-up, and say, "Awesome!"
But now...
With that top-tier Xavi IQ boost, Su Yu almost instinctively blurted out, "Boss! This is the main offensive line, right? And position 2 is a tactical variation after the main attack is harassed by the opponent's swarm tactics? Position 3 moves to the middle, and then position 4 quickly moves to the wing to draw attention..."
As the ancients said, a scholar will die for one who understands him!
What is a confidant?
Old Si, this foreigner, didn't understand at all, and couldn't pronounce the words, but at that moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of "soulmate" for the first time!
"Um!"
Old Si's tone and breathing began to become slightly heavier!
He nodded and then asked Su Yu, "Anything else?"
"This fourth line is a second variation of the second line. When the central midfielders are positioned on the left side of the backfield, the forward movement needs to drop back, then find the full-backs to draw the central defense, and quickly switch the ball back to the previous second line?"
call!
call! ! !
Old Si's breathing became heavier again!
"continue!"
"Boss! Um... Boss, isn't Line 6 based on Line 5...?"
Thump thump thump...
Old Si seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, which hadn't been so vigorous and uplifting for so many, many years!
......................
"Anything else?"
"Boss! I don't understand Line 13 at all... Excuse me! Could you explain it to me?"
Even though I can understand it myself, if I understood it all, what would be the point of having Scolari?
So, after babbling on and on for a long time, Su Yu turned around and frowned as if he had encountered a problem, looking at Scolari!
But when he turned around, he was surprised to see that the once imposing and intimidating Scolari on the training field now had tears in his eyes!
It's like...
(The vast sea laughs... the tides surge on both banks... the floating city drifts with the waves...)
