long live the king

At the beginning of the season last summer, Chelsea coach Mourinho declared to fans all over the world: They want to win all the championships we have participated in this season. Here are mainly four competitions: UEFA Champions League, Premier League, England The FA Cup and the English Premier League Cup, these words are cruel and absolute, fully showing Mourinho's flamboyant personality and conceited character.

Since then, many people have been waiting to see Chelsea's jokes. Now, the Champions League knockout round is about to start. Chelsea is still alive in the Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup. Sheep Manchester United ranked No.2.It can be said that the Blues still have the possibility of sweeping the four championships.

However, the English media generally believe that the biggest test for Chelsea will begin after the start of the Champions League knockout round. In the case of four-line battles, Chelsea's situation is worrying. The Premier League teams fight on four lines every year. The league is only third-tier at most, and there is no winter break in the Premier League, so the Premier League players have always been the most tiring in the world. In addition, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, the Premier League giants participating in the Champions League, also gave up the League Cup early , only Chelsea still did not give up the League Cup, the real thing is to hit the four championships.It can be seen the ambition and domineering of Mourinho and Chelsea.

However, what is the championship that Chelsea most want to win?Of course, the non-Champions League champion is none other than that. The reason why Chelsea's boss Abramovich chose Mourinho to take charge of Chelsea was precisely because Mourinho had just led Porto to the top of Europe at that time.Abramovich used money to build the Blues, but the Russian oligarch also knows that only by winning the UEFA Champions League and standing on the top of Europe can Chelsea truly be regarded as a giant, without the gold of the championship , Chelsea will still be looked down upon by those super giants.

The players of the first team have finished their training. Under the flashlights of countless reporters, these big-name Chelsea players are accustomed to leaving the training ground in their own cars, but Mourinho is not idle. He called the assistant coach Will Jinsen went to the team's home stadium, Stamford Bridge.

For the Marseille team, many people think that Chelsea has drawn a good lottery, and that Marseille is a relatively weak team in the top sixteen of the Champions League.But is that really the case?

At least, Mourinho has never underestimated this team.He has been focusing on the two games between Marseille and AC Milan in the Champions League group stage these days.In the group stage, Marseille drew AC Milan [-]-[-] away at the San Siro Stadium, and defeated AC Milan at home, which is enough to show that this team is not so easy to deal with.

"What do you think is the biggest characteristic of the Marseille team?" Mourinho asked his assistant.

Wilkins thought for a while, "Speed! Their offensive speed is advancing very fast! Especially Ribery and Zhang Yang, both of them are very fast. Once these two people can't play a threat, Marseille's offense will not be enough. road."

"Yes, it's speed." Mourinho nodded, and the two players mentioned by the assistant coach are the biggest threat to the Marseille team.Especially Zhang Yang. Mourinho has been studying Zhang Yang's game videos and his technical characteristics. This young man surprised him.

"Then we have to limit their speed." Mourinho walked on the edge of the field and said, Wilkins didn't speak, he knew that Mourinho was talking to himself, thinking, not Asking for his opinion.

The turf maintenance workers of several stadiums were working, and when they saw Mourinho, they all greeted him.Mourinho also talked to everyone with a smile. He often has a dark face in front of the media, but he has a good attitude towards the team's staff and rarely puts on the head coach's airs.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Jess, turn that thing off, there's too much water," someone yelled, and then the worker named Jess ran over to turn off the water pipe, but slipped and fell , I got up in some embarrassment and turned off the water pipe.

"Hey, Pierce." Mourinho's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at the worker who was shouting.

"Mr. Mourinho, what are your orders?" Pierce said a little uneasy, "Sorry, this is an accident, and we will drain the water as soon as possible."

"Why should it be discharged?" Mourinho laughed.

"This..." Pierce was a little confused.

"By the way. If it doesn't rain tomorrow. You water the stadium an hour before the game." Mourinho said, "If it rains—"

"If it rains, don't you need to water it?"

"No, no, if it's raining, if it's not raining, you still need to water it, but don't halve the amount of water. Do you understand?"

Hearing what Mourinho said, how could Pierce still not understand what was going on.He said excitedly, "No problem, Mr. Mourinho."

Mourinho smiled, "Be careful when you work, don't sprain your feet."

Pierce was taken aback, then laughed, "Don't worry, sir, we know what to do."

This is already the second day after the Marseille team arrived in London.

Nasri raised his head to look out of the window for a while, and looked up for a while, making Zhang Yang angry, "Samir, can't you be more honest?"

"Damn the weather, I was planning to go out and exchange feelings with the little girls in London."

Zhang Yang was surprised, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you going out and messing around on a rainy day."

"Rainy days affect my performance." Nasri scratched his hair in distress.

Zhang Yang almost spit out the coffee he drank in his mouth, Nima, this is the first time I heard that rainy days can actually affect sex.ability.He only heard that in ancient times, there were no recreational activities, and if it was raining, there was nothing to do, so they could only make people in the house.

However, when it comes to the weather in London, Zhang Yang also has some headaches. It has been two days since he came to London.This made Zhang Yang who is used to the sunny weather in Marseille a little uncomfortable.

At this time, the head coach Fernandez hurried past the door, and Ribery shut up quickly. If the head coach heard this, he thought it would be bad for him to make a transfer, even though Ribery already had a transfer in his heart The idea of ​​leaving, in fact, had it not been for the persuasion of his good friend Zhang Yang last summer, he would have moved to Bayern Munich long ago.

In addition, in any case, the players of the Marseille team are more adaptable to rain games. Those aboriginals who didn't go to the home team Chelsea.

From this point of view, the Marseille team was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

He has to adjust his tactics according to the weather. Marseille is a team with a fast attack speed. In addition, because of the presence of Ribery and Nasri, the team's offense is more about ball control, but if If the field is slippery, it will definitely have an impact on the team.

With the current situation, coupled with the fear of Chelsea's strength, Fernandez has already made a decision, and that is to adopt a defensive counterattack tactic at the Stamford Bridge. The primary goal is not to lose the ball. On this basis, if he can score a goal , that is the favor of God.Because the Marseille team is playing away in the first round, it can be said that as long as they can get a draw, it is a victory for the Marseille team.
