Chapter 280

When Chelsea has already held two English local championship trophies, the eyes of the London media will naturally focus on the Champions League. They think this may be a great moment for Mourinho to create another miracle of the Triple Crown. Many people Everyone is looking forward to it.

There are also such expectations in the Chelsea club, especially the Russian Abramovich. After winning the league championship and the League Cup, this guy's appetite has also increased. The Champions League trophy will obviously be his next The prize to plot.

Ranieri brought Chelsea to the semi-finals of the Champions League last year. Now that Mourinho has both the league and the League Cup, Abramovich really hopes that the team can really replicate what Porto got last season. The miracle of the Triple Crown.

People are so unsatisfied, including Chelsea fans, who frequently call for the triple crown on the official forum!
"Chelsea must be able to replicate the footsteps of the original Manchester United! No, we will be greater than Manchester!", this kind of roar is endless.

And many fans think that Mourinho and Lin Yi can bring them good luck, "They will definitely let Chelsea lift the Champions League trophy, just like what they did in Porto last season! Champions It must belong to us!"

This kind of crazy anticipation is not only a kind of motivation, but also a kind of pressure for Chelsea. After all, Chelsea has not been involved in the Champions League trophy in the history of the club. For many Chelsea players, the Champions League final is for them. It is also an unfamiliar arena.

"Don't worry about what the outside world is saying, you just need to remember to play well. The championship is won by playing one game after another, not by anyone's encouragement or clamor. Now our top priority Just get rid of Barcelona."

Mourinho understood what trouble this crazy voice would bring to the team, so he said this purposely during the team's training.

This is not a warning, but he wants to wake up his players. Although he has won two championships, the Champions League is different.

In that highest-level arena in Europe, anything can happen. Winning the championship not only depends on strength, but also requires enough luck.

Whether the miracle of Porto can be replicated in Chelsea, even Mourinho himself does not have an accurate answer. After all, there are still several games before the final. He can only guarantee that he will lead the beasts of Chelsea to go a little bit, and strive for the ultimate goal. good result.

Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself, this is the way Mourinho directs the team, he will not let outside comments interfere with the players.

But this time, not only the shouts from the outside interfered with the players, but also the expectations within the club began to increase day by day as they won two championships.

In order to encourage the players to make persistent efforts, the Russian has offered a high bonus. Although the outside world has not obtained the exact figure, there are many gossip rumors that if they can win the Champions League trophy, then the Chelsea players will get £1000 million prize money.

1000 million!Rao, many people know that Abramovich doesn’t take money as money, but such a generous bounty is probably really surprising to most people. Although this news has not been confirmed by anyone, many people believe it. The Russian can do it.

This is just the bonus for winning the championship, and the rewards for each round of promotion will be calculated separately. It can be said that the Russians are ready to spend a lot of money for Chelsea. Having such a generous boss is indeed the dream of many coaches matter.

Many English media are warming up for the battle between Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​especially the English media. They can't wait to see Chelsea give Barcelona a hard lesson at home. It is best to use a victory to make those noisy Spaniards shut up!

But those who remember are also clear that in the case of holding the advantage of away goals, if there is no accident, Chelsea will still use their own defensive counterattack tactics. I don’t know if they will win or not, but at least they can use the steel defense to ensure that they will win the game. Stamford Bridge did not lose.

You must know that from the beginning of the league to the present, including the group stage of the Champions League, Chelsea conceded a total of three goals at home, including a very lucky own goal. Such a strong defensive ability is really unnecessary for the Barcelona team. wasted.

Although neither Ferreira nor Gallas will be able to play in this game, Parker and Bridge will fill their gaps very well. Mourinho's personnel rotation in the middle of the season not only allows the main players to get enough rest , It also allowed many substitutes to be effectively tempered.

Now no matter what adjustments are made on the back line, Mourinho can guarantee his defensive quality. In his eyes, only the combination of Terry and Carvalho is not easy to find replacements. A combination like a full-back, He can mix and match completely.

This is the advantage of strong bench players. Kenyon can also proudly claim credit for many people, because he found those people in the transfer market. Although it cost a lot of money, at critical moments, people It's easy to do more, especially in the middle and late stages of the league.

At home, a strong defense, such an obvious advantage is not enough to make Mourinho excited, but the list of referees determined before the start of the game made Mourinho smile, because the referee appointed by UEFA It was the Collina he had expected.

Originally, after Flicks applied for retirement, Mourinho was really at a loss as to whether UEFA would listen to his opinion and send a tough referee to enforce the game. After all, let the Swede retire like this. It can be regarded as a slap in the face of UEFA.

But I don’t know if the incident this time was too much trouble. Anyway, in order to silence Mourinho and Chelsea, UEFA really sent Collina to enforce the game. The importance of this game, they don't want any more problems.

"I believe in Mr. Collina's law enforcement ability and field control ability. At least he will not make too amateur mistakes." When Mourinho was interviewed before the game, he stimulated the Spaniard in a salty way nerves, especially the last sentence.

I really don't know what the Swede who has quit the refereeing world will think at this time. Anyway, Rijkaard is really upset that Mourinho's tricks have succeeded, but since it is the opponent's home court, Collina is not considered a Too bad a choice.

At least the bald Italian won't take care of Chelsea's home court advantage. Although the guy is really strict in law enforcement, a fair referee will not have a bad impact on Barcelona. After all, Barcelona will choose to take the initiative attack.

A referee like this is the most stressful compared to the defensive side, and Rijkaard thinks that Collina's iron fist can help his team.

It's just that Mourinho's disguised pressure method made the Catalans very uncomfortable. It is estimated that the group of power holders in UEFA are also very helpless, because they want to punish Mourinho under the fuel of the media. Austria and Chelsea also need to do some more thinking.

Until now, the penalty decision for Mourinho's failure to attend the post-match press conference has not come down. It cannot be said that UEFA is merciless, but when they are on the cusp of the storm, they also have to choose some compromises, including the referee this time. The problem is also part of the compromise.

There is no way, the media in England is too fierce. In their conspiracy theory, it seems that Chelsea failed to win the away game because of UEFA's suppression. From the referee to the home court advantage, it is a huge conspiracy. It is to prevent the Premier League clubs from being able to advance strongly.

No one can bear this charge. After all, when England and Italy are competing for the title of the first league, UEFA does not want to offend either party. .

For the sake of fairness, choosing Collina, a stern referee who is not stingy, may minimize the controversy, and UEFA is also afraid of trouble.

After all, everyone knows that when Mourinho faces the media, he always chooses those irritating topics to talk about. If there is any problem at Chelsea's home court, UEFA doesn't know that guy will say something at that time. What, verbal criticism is inevitable anyway.

Anyway, before the start of the game, all the lace news appeared, including Lampard's girlfriend, who also failed to escape the instigation of the Catalans.

"The Blue and Red Army has planted their deepest spy in the deepest part of the opponent's heart." Barcelona's media joked so much.

Chelsea midfielder Lampard is now sleeping with the enemy, because his charming supermodel girlfriend Alan Reeves happens to be a Catalan and a loyal Barcelona fan.

This time Lin Yi could find a chance to take revenge. After the training the day before the match, this kid looked at Lampard with a wicked smile on his face, making him a little scared.

"What! Look at me with such eyes!", Lampard is not used to being surrounded by people in the shower.

"Hey, pay attention to your body when you go home at night. The game is tomorrow. Don't consume too much energy." Lin Yi's words not only made Drogba and the group laugh out loud, but also made Lampa De looked embarrassed, because he didn't know that this kid could still make such jokes before the competition.

"Fuck off, I'm abstinent before the game!", Lampard only used a loud voice to cover up his embarrassment, there is no way, this kind of news these days is almost making him helpless, alas, and his girlfriend is not very good To save face publicly expressed support for Barcelona.

"Oh~~~, no wonder you are so vigorous every game, haha, it turns out to be abstinence." Chelsea's bathroom was a frying pan this time.

"Don't those guys know what nervousness is?" Brito heard the bursts of laughter outside the locker room, turned his head and said to Mourinho who was also listening to the wall.

"Don't ask me, those are a group of lunatics." When Mourinho heard the laughter, he knew that there were some things he didn't need to say.

Is that a group of lunatics?Then you must be a crazy boss, Brito muttered as he watched Mourinho's disappearing figure.

This is a group of madmen, a group of fearless madmen. . .
