Midfielder.

Chapter 321

Although there are still ten days before the second round of Chelsea and Bayern Munich, during which Chelsea still need to play a round of Premier League, Mourinho is already preparing for the start of the away game.

He didn't want Brito to make the same mistake as last time, after all, this time Chelsea was playing away.

Mourinho himself is not afraid of Magath, the Bundesliga maniac, but this does not mean that the guy is incapable.

At least in terms of on-the-spot command, the gap between Brito and Magath is still a bit big. Once encountering any unexpected situation in the away game, Mourinho can't guarantee that his deputy can deal with it calmly.

Although the Allianz Arena is not hell, it is quite troublesome to meet a Magath who is determined to fight to the end.

Coupled with the support of German fans, no one can predict what kind of fighting power Bayern Munich will burst out.

The most terrible thing is actually the problem of not being able to command on the spot, but Mourinho obviously did not restrain himself because of being suspended by UEFA. After the game against Bayern Munich, he slapped the opponent again.

Originally, on the Monday after that game, according to UEFA's requirements, both Bayern and Chelsea had to hold routine press conferences, and Mourinho, the team's head coach, had to attend, but this guy just didn't go.

Mourinho not only did not go to the press conference, even the assistant coaches Brito and Clarke did not show up.

The only one left for the reporters was Faria in training clothes, and this guy stayed at the press conference for less than 10 minutes, but when he answered questions, the reporters were speechless.

Faria, who has always been stubborn, expressed his views on the game without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, especially when Magath accused the referee of favoring Chelsea. His answer was very direct, "If the referee really favors us, Then Ballack's penalty should be disqualified, that's my answer."

Then this guy didn't even wait for the reporters to continue asking questions, and turned around and left.

That guy Faria has always had such a temper. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find anyone, Kenyon probably wouldn't let him attend the press conference.

At least Kenyon won't let a group of reporters watch him leave in a daze at this moment, but Faria seems to be more difficult to deal with than Mourinho. He doesn't have witty words, but he is as stiff as a rock.

And it’s not just Mourinho who let everyone go, Chelsea even the team representative was temporarily recruited this time. Terry didn’t come, Lampard didn’t come, the captain didn’t come, and Lin Yi didn’t say anything. Also did not show up.

That kid has always been the focus of many reporters' attention, but he seems to seldom stand in front of the camera during such public appearances. Like Mourinho, Lin Yi also feels a little bored when facing reporters' questions.

"The main questions raised by some reporters really can't be answered. They just want to take a pair of spiked shoes and slap him in the face."

This is how Lin Yi treats some reporters. For him, some people just set traps for you with malicious intentions. Anyway, in their writing, as long as you say something, it can be twisted into Version.

The reporters originally hoped to wait for a heavyweight player to come out and say a few words, but what they waited for was the team's second goalkeeper Cudicini. What?
The debut of these two people caused the reporters of the media to look at each other, and also caught UEFA off guard. UEFA spokesman German Eichler was annoyed and helpless at Mourinho's move. .

"I think the final solution to this matter can only be for me to report to UEFA, but Chelsea did this without even saying hello. This is the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After all, it is too inappropriate. .”

"We can't force them to do what they have to do, and there are no relevant regulations and corresponding penalties in this regard, but I hope Chelsea and Mourinho himself can see how Bayern does it."

This German guy is obviously using this method to improve Bayern's status, because compared with Chelsea, Bayern's press conference attendance is obviously higher, and Magath, Kahn, and Ballack are all present.

It is undeniable that Mourinho is deliberately embarrassing UEFA officials because there is no relevant penalty decision for such a press conference, which can be regarded as revenge for the suspension ticket issued by the opponent.

Although Mourinho said verbally that he would respect UEFA's punishment, and he could guarantee that he would not appear on the court in these two games, this does not mean that he willingly accepted the punishment this time.

Anyway, in his opinion, although this kind of silent protest may not have any effect, at least it can calm himself down.

But now the Champions League games still need to be placed first, and the Premier League is obviously thrown in the secondary position by Mourinho at this time. The season's Premier League championship trophy is gone, and there is no need to continue to invest more energy in the league.

It is not a shame to give up strategically, not to mention that Mourinho only replaced some substitutes.

It's not to put water in the league. Even Chelsea are now on the bench, and it is very difficult to win them.

After all, after a season of tempering, those substitute players are also a group of good players who can fight as soon as they come.

And when the end of the season is approaching, everyone has to show their good condition. After all, this is related to their future. If they can't stay at Chelsea, they must find a good place.

The competitive state on the court may be a prerequisite for determining their future direction. Of course, most people's ideas are still reserved. The treatment that Chelsea can offer them is difficult for other teams to satisfy.

However, people like Kezhiman and Smertin have already decided to leave. Before they leave, they may only rely on this opportunity to come off the bench to win others' attention for themselves so that they can find a good next home in the future.

For those who are no longer in Mourinho's list for next season, he never pays too much attention. Mourinho is very realistic on this issue. The people he looks at must be those who meet his requirements .

For a guy like Kežman who dares to challenge himself openly, it will be a matter of time before he is eliminated from the team. As for the 800 million euros spent to buy him, it is estimated that Kenyon himself will settle the bad debt silently. .

No way, that guy has done this kind of thing countless times in the past two seasons. Anyway, out of the hundreds of millions of euros that Abramovich paid him, at least [-]% of the funds were ruined by Kenyon. up.

But Kenyon has also done some good things. The Drogba and others he took the initiative to sign have shined this season, not to mention Mourinho and Lin Yi. Just completed the contract.

With these achievements, and Chelsea's record soaring this season, even if Kenyon loses from time to time, Abramovich can turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and will not really look for this Guy trouble.

Now Mourinho's task is not only to consider the league and the Champions League, but also the staffing for the next season. After all, the summer transfer period is getting closer and closer, and the purchase has to be done early.

Anyway, Mourinho now clearly knows that regardless of whether he can be crowned the Triple Crown this season, Chelsea will have to make a certain degree of personnel adjustment next season. After all, there are many people in the team that he did not choose.

Robben and Duff were actually not hand-picked by Mourinho, but he is really good at using this kind of winger.

But Robben has been suffering from minor injuries this season. Although he has never missed an important game, without this guy, Chelsea's wing attack always seems to be not smooth, which makes Mourinho a bit of a headache.

It is necessary to find a qualified substitute for Peter Pan of the Netherlands. In Chelsea's tactics, the importance of both wings flying together is self-evident. When the midfielder can send a pass, the two wings must have strong personal abilities. People respond.

It is not required that the substitute must have the powerful breakthrough ability of Robben, but it must be ensured that he has enough cutting and crossing skills. Although Joe Cole has a certain level in these two aspects, Mourinho does not dissatisfied.

He also needs at least two equally impactful wide players who can replace Duff and Robben at critical moments.

As for the candidate for the defensive midfielder, he also needs to consider. After all, Makelele is no longer young. It is still a bit difficult for him to maintain full attendance for a season, and next year will be the year of World Cup qualifiers.

In line with the adjustment of personnel mainly in the Champions League, Chelsea sent a large number of substitute players in the No. rotation.

Originally, Lampard and Drogba were also one of the personnel that Mourinho could only be rotated, but considering that these two guys are in good physical condition recently, there is no problem in terms of physical fitness, the most important thing is that they both have the opportunity to sprint Taking a look at the top scorer list in the Premier League, Mourinho agreed to their request to play the game for the first time.

Mourinho, who had held back a game and failed to sit on the coaching bench, stood on the sidelines again, but this time his opponent was not Magath, but it was also his old enemy in the Premier League, the French Old man, Wenger.

I don't know if the Premier League's schedule committee made this arrangement on purpose. Anyway, according to the established game process, in the penultimate round and the second round of the league, Chelsea must consecutively encounter two strong teams, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Perhaps the Premier League's league department wants to keep the suspense of the championship until the last moment, but it is obvious that such an arrangement has no effect on the current Chelsea. They have already determined the ownership of the trophy.

For such a confrontation, it was originally a good opportunity for Wenger to avenge his shame in the away game, but now it seems that even if he wins, he has nothing to be happy about. The championship trophy has long since left Arsenal.

This time Benitez kept the same pace as Mourinho, and he also started to use a lot of substitute players in the game, but this is not because he is already confident, but a very helpless choice.

In an early match, Everton, which ranked fourth in the league, actually captured Ferguson's Manchester United at home. Such an ending almost doomed Liverpool's idea of ​​hitting the top four.

Although there are still two rounds of the league for Liverpool, for them who are six points behind Everton, it has become a luxury to get the top four this season, and Moyes' team will definitely not lose two games in a row .

The current Liverpool team can only put all their energy into the Champions League game and make a final desperate effort.

Otherwise, Benitez doesn't know how miserable his ending is. . .

(Alas, Warcraft failed to make a comeback after all, and the Magic was eliminated. It seems that Howard may not be able to stay in the Magic next season. Maybe the Magic should rebuild...)
