Midfielder.

Chapter 359

Lifting the league championship trophy and winning the first double in the team's century-old history, Chelsea can be said to have made history, but for Mourinho, this is just the beginning, he is not satisfied with just winning the double. crown.

You can say that this guy is ignorant, but don't deny that the Portuguese's ambition is indeed very big.

Mourinho is not only ambitious, but his actions are often much ahead of others. Before this season is completely over, he has already begun to consider the team's personnel adjustments and tactical arrangements for the next season.

After the club uses a new contract to keep Makelele, Chelsea will also start the summer personnel adjustment work.

Kezhiman is destined to leave, Smertin also can't stay, and even Huth may not be able to stay in the team.

Regardless of how unsuccessful these players are at Chelsea, but based on their personal abilities, as long as they are pushed to the transfer market, there will be a lot of buyers. This can also explain how strong Chelsea is now.

In particular, Chelsea's defensive line, which can be called the Great Wall of Steel, can't even be the main force for a guy like Huth who can enter the German national team's waiting list. With such a thick bench, who can not cast an envious look?

Terry, Carvalho, Gallas, Ferreira, Bridge, Parker, there is nothing to criticize about such a defense line. From fame to usage, Chelsea's defense line ranks first in Europe. on the number.

Although Chelsea's current defensive lineup is indeed very strong, Mourinho has no intention of stopping the pace of buying people, especially at the central defender position, which is bound to be reinforced. Both Terry and Carvalho need substitutes.

After all, those two guys are not iron men. It is already a miracle that they can maintain no major injuries this season, but next season they are likely to fight on the fourth front. Don't forget, they are still the main force of their respective national teams.

Therefore, what Mourinho has to consider now is that his defense needs to increase two substitute places, and it is best to be in the position of central defender, but it is also so-called if he is a versatile player. After all, Galla can also play central defender.

Regarding Chelsea's defense, this season can be described as flawless, especially in the Premier League. The goal conceded throughout the season is controlled at 78, which has broken Liverpool's record of 79 conceded goals in the [-]-[-] season.

Chelsea is now the team with the fewest goals conceded and the most successful defense in a single season in the history of England's top league.

There is no one, only the only one, no matter how dissatisfied Liverpool is now, but their record has indeed been broken.

It's just that those old fans who are still reminiscing about Liverpool's glorious era will be a little sad, not only because the team's long-standing record has been broken, but more importantly, Chelsea has stepped on them again.

After being captured by their opponents at Anfield, the Liverpool people have already regarded Chelsea as their deadly enemy.

If Manchester United and Arsenal are the main culprits of plundering Liverpool's championship in the past ten years, then from now on, Chelsea has taken over the tasks of the former two, and has become the new generation of Liverpool's sufferers, and it is still a big sufferer.

And what makes the enemy even worse is that when Chelsea are about to purge their players, they still don't forget to seduce Gerrard.

As for whether Gerrard can be successfully introduced next season, Mourinho is not particularly concerned. Although he needs to find a suitable successor or midfield partner for Makelele, Gerrard is not the only one.

The soul of that Liverpool is indeed good at attacking and defending, but there are not many positions that can make room for him in Chelsea's current system, especially the cooperation between Gerrard and Lampard in the England national team is not so successful.

In the England national team, there is even a saying that the two virtues cannot coexist, it can be said that there is you without the other.

Mourinho does not believe that Lampard and Gerrard are mutually exclusive, but he also knows that these two guys really have certain differences in certain offensive habits and tactical choices. same characteristics.

It is really a technical job to make good use of them at the same time, but for an uncertain future, Mourinho has no time to waste his brain cells thinking about it now, what he needs to consider is the current internal adjustment of the team.

Compared with these people to be cleaned up, who can Chelsea keep is the most critical issue. Mourinho is not worried that Chelsea will be like Porto, after winning the Triple Crown, they will immediately disperse.

With Chelsea's financial resources and the club's attempt to win more championships, at least in the next few years, there will be no major changes. Abramovich's pursuit of the championship will definitely continue until he is satisfied.

As long as the Russian tycoon is still investing, then Chelsea doesn't have to worry about money and players leaving.

Unless a certain player really doesn't want to stay on the bench and wants to go out and make a breakthrough, otherwise, with Chelsea's conditions to retain players, it is estimated that only teams like Real Madrid can poach people from Chelsea.

However, they were still unable to succeed in the boy Real Madrid named to dig, but Florentino didn't seem to give up. He had found Mendes several times, trying to get some accurate information from him.

But Mendes is trying to persuade this Lafayette to give up. That boy Lin Yi has no possibility of transferring. Even if Real Madrid offers a sky-high price, Chelsea may not let him go, let alone Lin Yi himself does not want to leave.

But now Lafayette, who has been burned by the club members and those opponents, just wants to get a big deal as soon as possible. This guy even started to consider whether to poach the wingers Shuangsha Robben and Duff from the Chelsea team.

Although the Bernabeu is attractive enough, Robben and Duff have not been tempted, but looking at the current league results of Real Madrid and Chelsea's rising posture, it is obvious that Stamford Bridge is more attractive.

What's more, now that the Bernabeu is still full of stars, Robben and Duff, who are firmly established as the main players at Chelsea, really come to Real Madrid to play as substitutes?It is estimated that even if the salary given by Lafayette is high enough, this will be difficult to achieve.

Mourinho is not so worried about his players being poached by others. He is now thinking more about how to continue to strengthen the team's lineup, especially the forward line. He is also going to continue to ask Kenyon to buy players.

After all, there is only Drogba paired with Gudjohnsen. Such a striker pairing seems a bit shabby.

Although Drogba and Henry shared the top scorer list this season, in some games, once the striker fails to fire, it often depends on Lampard and Lin Wing to put pressure on the opponent's defender from the back row.

Moreover, this single forward tactic really relies too much on Drogba's header and height advantages. Mourinho, who has always liked double forwards to open the way, is also considering whether to place a helper next to this African elephant. .

Although Lampard can be a qualified invisible striker, Mourinho hopes that he can be closer to the midfield and help Lin Yi stabilize the middle. It is very important, especially when counterattacking, in addition to the two sideways, there can be a stable support point in the middle.

But who will be the striker? Now Mourinho also feels a little scratching his head. After all, there are not many strikers who meet his conditions. But now, Mourinho is ready to add some chaos to AC Milan's backyard. .

Crespo's performance on loan from Chelsea this season has been very eye-catching. Even many Italian media said that the Argentine has been resurrected in AC Milan, and his scoring ability at critical moments once again shines in Apennines.

Mourinho is going to improve this situation where flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall. He publicly declared in front of the media not long ago that the ownership of Crespo still belongs to Chelsea, and he is considering recalling the Argentine in the summer.

This is not a joke, but something that may actually happen. Kenyon has rejected AC Milan's request to continue intercepting. Anyway, AC Milan is ready to spend a lot of money to buy Crespo, or wait to release him. .

Although Mourinho does not necessarily intend to really reuse Crespo, but at this critical moment, this is also a small means to disturb the opponent's morale, not to mention that the Argentine's performance in Serie A this season is indeed very eye-catching.

It is not too much to blackmail the other party for a suitable transfer fee at this time. Maybe this can only be blamed on the AC Milan team. Why didn't they dare to make up their minds and directly buy out Crespo's entire ownership.

You know, the price that Chelsea marked Crespo at that time was only 800 million euros. Compared with the current price, if it was bought out at that time, AC Milan would have picked up a big deal this season.

But after a season of Ancelotti's training, the Argentine recovered not only his condition, but also his worth. Now Kenyon has directly asked for 500 million euros in public bidding, without bargaining.

It is estimated that when Galliani is watching Kenyon, he definitely eats his heart, but he has nothing to do. If it is based on this worth, then the fate of Crespo and AC Milan is likely to end at the end of the season. up.

The AC Milan club is no longer the original Rossoneri. After Berlusconi devoted himself to political struggles and women, his financial support and generosity for AC Milan have begun to be greatly reduced.

Not to mention buying out Crespo's more than 1000 million euros, now they have to spend a lot of effort to retain the main players in their team, otherwise, Galliani will not be overwhelmed by the renewal of the contract with Shevchenko. I have a headache.

But Mourinho doesn't care about the distress of other clubs, anyway, he is standing and talking without back pain.

Although the Chelsea team has won so many honors this season, Mourinho and Lin Yi seem to have never been accepted by the mainstream of England. Perhaps in the eyes of those old antiques, these two guys seem very different.

Lin Yi was helplessly defeated in the competition with Rooney for the best rookie. After him, Mourinho also tasted the taste of failure. He also lost the title of the best coach of the year selected by the English Coaches Association. It was given to Moyes, who led Everton to the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. This is also Mourinho once again missed the best coach. When he was in Porto, although he brought back the Triple Crown for the team, he did not get it. this title.

"It seems that you are as unlucky as I am. It seems that the title of best will never fall to the two of us." Lin Yi said to Mourinho beside him while watching the screen of Moyes receiving the award on TV. .

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not the first time. Since there is no best, let's win the Triple Crown again in Istanbul." Mourinho looked very bachelor, but his words It's not so low-key, it doesn't matter if we lose the best rookie and the best coach, we can make up for the pain with the triple crown.

This is really a pair of master and apprentice who are arrogant enough. . .
