Chapter 208

An away win at Middlesbrough did not quell the criticism of Chelsea, at least the journalists would not give up so easily.

Moreover, Mourinho did not intend to regard this 3:0 victory as a turning point. He knew that the next round of the league was the most critical for him.

At home, the opponent Liverpool, only by killing the Red Army without any dispute, can he really make those barking voices disappear completely.

However, just like Chelsea's away win over Middlesbrough, Liverpool's state has begun to recover recently, especially in the last game, they also defeated Norwich visiting Norwich 3-0 at Anfield, and this is still Acquired when Gerrard was injured and unable to play.

Benitez, the guy who is about to bald, can finally feel proud in front of the Red Army fans. His team's game is indeed very soul-stirring, especially when the absolute core is lacking, it is almost the life of the whole army. The whole game did not leave any chance for the opponent.

Baros, Cisse and Luis Garcia, who Benitez brought from Spain, all scored goals, and Alonso played a perfect core.

When Alonso was substituted in 605 minutes, the entire Anfield stadium applauded him, which also meant that he was officially accepted.

The player he picked became the savior in the eyes of the fans, and he became the savior of Anfield. This feeling really made Benitez very proud.

At least now you have forgotten the depression that Liverpool lost to Manchester United, and the embarrassment that Liverpool can only rank seventh in the standings.

In his view, it was just a short-term downturn. He has now begun to control Liverpool, and Anfield will soon be applauded for him.

And he also said in an interview with reporters after the game that he is now looking forward to meeting Mourinho. Even if it is away, Stamford Bridge will not be a place to bury Liverpool. He very much hopes to win the next game , He wants to prove that the Liverpool team still has the strength to win the championship.

However, for Benitez's almost provocative declaration of war, Mourinho seemed very indifferent, "There are too many people who want to challenge Chelsea."

"I can't spare time every day to meet the wishes of these people. If Mr. Benitez thinks he can beat Chelsea, then I will wait for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. As for the result of the game, I don't want to make any assumptions. But I'm enjoying being unbeaten now."

There is a needle hidden in the cotton, when Mourinho said this, there was no expression on his face, even he looked very calm, but the meaning in the words was full of sharpness, because he only regarded Benitez as a A challenger, let's not forget, Chelsea are now ranked above Liverpool.

Now that Chelsea is chasing Arsenal in the standings, not Liverpool, Benitez can only be regarded as a chaser behind him.

challenge?Sorry, Chelsea don't have time to deal with the Spaniard's boring thoughts now, and Mourinho will not leave him any chance.

If Liverpool want to win the game, then come to Stamford Bridge to give it a try. The Red Devils have already lost here. Can the Red Army still perform miracles?

Now Mourinho has not put all his thoughts into preparing for the league match with Liverpool. The Champions League match of the 04-05 season has already ignited the flames.

Chelsea must start their Champions League journey, and after winning the Champions League last season, Mourinho obviously wants to win again.

Moreover, Chelsea's high-level executives are well-known for their fanatical pursuit of the Champions League. Abramovich can choose Mourinho to coach the team. The most important thing is the Portuguese's achievements in the Champions League, especially if he can lead A team like Porto has successfully reached the top of Europe.

The current Chelsea is no worse than last year's Porto. They were able to reach the semi-finals last season. This season, Abramovich is obviously trying to plot the Champions League. Otherwise, he would not spend nearly [-] million euros for two consecutive years to enrich himself. team, he needs this trophy that the whole of Europe covets.

Of course Mourinho knows this, and for him, the league is about who is more stable, while the Champions League is about who can seize the opportunity better.

However, this time when Chelsea drew lots, they had good luck. There were no traditional giants and Chelsea. Chelsea’s opponents in Group H were only CSKA Moscow and Paris Saint-Germain from France. , and the most familiar Porto.

When the lottery grouping was finalized, Mourinho and Lin Yi, who had just walked out of Porto, smiled helplessly, because even they themselves didn't know whether this was arranged by God on purpose. If you qualify, you may have to step on the corpse of your old club.

"I really don't know if the Dragon Stadium will boo or applaud us this time?" Lin Yi shook his head helplessly as he looked at the schedule.

Mourinho doesn't know how to answer the little guy's question, because it's really hard to answer, boo?Maybe, it's an opponent after all, applause?It's also possible, don't forget, even though Lin Yi has left Porto, he is still the person most missed by fans in that city.

At the time of Chelsea's opening game, there were still many Porto fans who came to Stamford Bridge to watch the game, and they were still cheering for Lin Yi loudly.

I just don't know what kind of treatment they will receive when they return to Porto this time. Alas, I really don't know if UEFA did it on purpose.

But fortunately, this headache will not bother them for the time being, because Chelsea will deal with Paris Saint-Germain in the first game.

French club?When Mourinho saw the name of the Paris Saint-Germain team, he even laughed, because he is so close to the French team. He was able to reach the top of Europe last season by stepping on the French ball all the way. The corpse of the team walked over, even in the finals.

This time I ran into a French club again. I don't know that his name as a French killer will not continue, at least those French people don't want to do this.

I don’t know what the mood of Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach Harry Rodzic is at this time. Anyway, when Chelsea came to the Parc des Princes in Paris, Harry Rodzic didn’t act so tough before the game. Maybe This guy also knows what kind of opponents he is facing.

When the game kicked off, the fans in Paris fell silent after a few minutes of uproar as only Chelsea players could be seen criss-crossing the pitch, and what the Paris Saint-Germain players could do , that is, trying to catch up with these guys who dominate the court.

When Drogba returned to the Ligue [-] that once belonged to him, he didn't need to explain anything to Mourinho, he already knew how to play.

The resistance of the Parisians on the field is like they were against the Germans in World War II. They even lasted only 8 minutes. The defense line had completely collapsed, and Drogba's rampage began.

No. 20 minutes, a powerful header in front of the goal to grab the spot, Drogba reminded Paris fans of this African who transferred from Marseille.

Less than 5 minutes later, Lampard sent a precise ground ball from the left rib, allowing Drogba to face the goal guarded by Letic again and easily push.

2:0, the game has become meaningless from this moment. Less than 3 minutes after the start of the second half, when Drogba scored a hat-trick again, even Paris Saint-Germain coach Harry Rodzic had already given up. In order to resist, he even replaced the team's main center Pauletta.

A resistance that lasted less than 60 minutes, in the history of Mourinho's campaign, left a blood debt he owed to the French. Maybe the French should really check whether they are close to the Portuguese. Is there any deep hatred in this life, otherwise why is it always me who is unlucky.

The other group match that started at the same time was not so easy. Porto failed to get all three points at home. They were controlled by CSKA Moscow with a tight rhythm throughout the game. Toufeng's defense was tied, and the defending champion's start was not smooth.

Mourinho didn't give much comment on the performance of his old club. He also knew that he couldn't say much at this time, and it would be bad to say too much.

Instead of saying something innocuous, it is better to verify it during the game, but the mood at that time may be very complicated.

Another 3:0 victory, Mourinho still did not make any response in front of the media. For him, qualifying for the group stage is just a task that must be completed. What he is thinking about now is not how to win Porto at home, but How to make Benitez's team bow to Chelsea.

Liverpool?What Chelsea is preparing for them now is a big meal. Mourinho will never show mercy to an opponent who wants to overthrow him.

The two consecutive victories made Mourinho form a very clear tactical change in his mind, and this change was reserved for the Liverpool team.

It's just that the Spaniard who doesn't have much hair on his head may not know that it will be a good show waiting for him at Stamford Bridge.

But in this drama, the role he will play must be a sad and unlucky ghost. Mourinho and Lin Yi, two insidious guys, are on their own territory, slowly sharpening the sharpest knife in their hands. They were already ready, waiting to take this bald man for a ride.

In the eighth round, the blue army faced the red army, a confrontation between flames and sea water. . .

(Uh...the Rockets' inside line without Yao Ming, facing the ferocious monster, is just a little shou who is unable to resist the opponent's attack. It is too weak to let people get whatever they want...)
