Chapter 823 Mourinho's plans

"Manchester City's winning streak has come to an end!!"

When Manchester City defeated Tottenham in the No.20 league three rounds, some media shouted in the reports!
Manchester City has won 23 consecutive victories in the league!

Manchester City's success, their fans are very happy!
But all of this is actually a huge humiliation to other teams in the Premier League, and even the Premier League itself!

The Premier League, which is known for its intense competition, unexpectedly has an absolute dominant team!

They never lose!

Not even a tie! !

In this way, what will the fans think of this league?

All other teams are weak, only Manchester City is the strongest!
The league championship lost its suspense after halfway, and other teams can only compete for No.2?

"For a league, the dominance of one team is obviously very harmful to the league as a whole! If Manchester City dominates the Premier League - based on Manchester City's current player mix, their economic strength, and the youthfulness of the head coach Gao Bo, I really can't see it. After this season, next season, next season, or even within the foreseeable four or five years, which team can challenge Manchester City's status? Maybe our league will be dominated by one team for five or six seasons or even longer!! Maybe this is for Manchester City It is a good thing for the city, but for the entire Premier League, it is absolutely bad and cannot be worse. The Premier League is now rapidly expanding in North America and East Asia, attracting the attention of many new fans, relying on the highly competitive league environment. If the Premier League is ruled by Manchester City, the Premier League as a whole will lose points in the eyes of many fans, so!! Other teams must show performance, must! Let Manchester City’s winning streak stop!!!”

"Daily Mail" shouted in the report!

And they also set their sights on Chelsea!Because Manchester City's opponent in the next game is Chelsea!

There is no doubt that Manchester City is the most eye-catching team in the Premier League this season.

They are the team with the most points, the most goals, the fewest conceded goals, the most fouls and the fewest fouls in the Premier League so far!

This kind of performance is completely a higher level of existence.

However, other teams are not useless!
Chelsea are the team that has conceded the second fewest points after Manchester City.

The partnership of Matic and Kanter's midfielder makes Chelsea's defense very stable!

And if it is only compared to the defensive system in the backcourt, Chelsea is not necessarily worse than Manchester City! !
Terry returned from injury, David Luiz and Gary Cahill are also in excellent form, the young central defender Zouma was also promoted by Mourinho, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta on the left and right are also one of the two best full-backs in the Premier League!

Especially Matic and Kanter, the combination of the two defensive midfielders is very stable, with super interception and defense capabilities. With them protecting the defense, Chelsea's defense is almost a double insurance!

Cech this season is also in a hot state, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous saves in the game.

In terms of defense alone, such a Chelsea team is no weaker than Manchester City's staffing, and even stronger.

Moreover, their coach Mourinho is also a team that is very good at defensive counterattacks.

"Chelsea is expected to draw at least Manchester City in the away game! They can't, absolutely can't let Manchester City continue to win!"

The outcry from the media has sparked varying degrees of response.

Before the game, some media interviewed Mourinho about this report.

As a result, Mourinho scoffed at the report.

"We will try to score points against Manchester City, but it is only for ourselves, we will only consider the interests of the team."

In other words, this matter is placed on Mourinho himself, and he will never consider the overall interests of the Premier League.

The head coach of each team will not consider these, after all, the Premier League officials do not pay them salaries.

Gao Bo directly ridiculed such remarks: "Then, does the reporter who wrote this article mean that the Premier League should collectively boycott Manchester City? Just because we are too strong, we have become sinners who harm the overall interests of the Premier League? Is this what this reporter means? I don't know at all. When he wrote this article, did he use his brain or his ass, or did he have no brains at all!"

Gao Bo's words were very pungent, and even many reporters present laughed outright.

The remarks about Manchester City being too strong to harm the interests of the Premier League quickly dissipated without any impact.

Because if this topic continues to develop, there are only two solutions, either other teams are better, or Manchester City is restricted.

However, even if the Premier League officials want to do this, they can't do it with great fanfare.

Isn't this smashing your own signboard!

Therefore, this kind of discussion did not cause much discussion, and it was quickly overwhelmed by other news! !
However, the fact that this topic is not discussed does not mean that Mourinho is low-key and quiet.

The Portuguese coach is ready to use the public opinion war to influence Manchester City again.

In an interview, Mourinho said bluntly: "The 23-game winning streak is quite remarkable, but I think Manchester City is also under pressure now. Every time they win a game in a row, the pressure increases by one point, because they always think that they can't let the winning streak end, and they will continue to win the winning streak!! In this way, the pressure will increase!"

"So do you think Manchester City are under enough pressure now?"

A reporter asked.

"I can only say that 23 consecutive victories is already very shocking. As for whether they can win 24 consecutive victories, we will wait and see!"

Manchester City's No.20 four-round league match, the opponent happens to be Mourinho's Chelsea!

In fact, Mourinho was right.

The continuous winning streak will indeed put pressure on the team.

The more games in a winning streak, the heavier the burden on the players! !

This is inevitable.

Players aren't robots after all.

Therefore, Mourinho's statement is a conspiracy!
He directly pointed out this point and let public opinion hype it up.

Even if Gao Bo is not under pressure, it is impossible for him to prevent his players from watching the news!
When all the media is discussing this.

Mourinho did it! !
He successfully brought the topic in this direction, allowing everyone to discuss Manchester City's winning streak.

Let all the media tell the Manchester City players how amazing, how rare, and how difficult their winning streak is.

Let them have to cherish such a winning streak! !

When Gao Bo saw Mourinho's remarks, he knew that he had to solve this problem!
In a strong-strong dialogue, the most fearful thing is that one party has a mentality problem.

If Manchester City's players, when playing against Chelsea, are full of thoughts such as "this is our No. 20 four-match winning streak" and "absolutely can't lose", then this game is destined to be difficult.

The players will definitely be intimidated, and Mourinho will find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This Portuguese is indeed a master of psychological warfare, and his psychological quality is also good.

He has been defeated so many times, yet he still dares to take the lead in provoking!

Gao Bo first applauded Mourinho's courage for 3 minutes, and then began to think of ways to respond to Mourinho's remarks.

In fact, facing the opponent's conspiracy, Gao Bo has no good solution.

He can only let the players realize that this is a conspiracy by the opponent to disturb their own mentality, and they must not be fooled. At the same time, during training, the team will also pay attention to alleviating the pressure on the players.

At the press conference before the game, the topic of pressure was still the focus of reporters' questions.

"We won't be under pressure, how can we be under pressure?" Gao Bo expressed very relaxed, "Chelsea is our favorite team. In the first leg at their home court, we won them [-]-[-]. I don't know why you don't discuss it. A team that lost four goals in the first round, did you feel afraid when they faced us at our home court?"

Gao Bo asked back with a sneer on his face.

Manchester City vs Chelsea!
This is destined to be the focus of the league! !

There was a little rain in Manchester before the game, but before the game started, the rain had stopped!
It's still very cold in England right now.

When the starting players of both sides lined up in the player tunnel, the players on the benches of both sides were all wrapped in thick coats!
The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium is extremely warm! ! !

"This will be an extremely fierce competition!!!"

In the commentary booth, Sky Sports commentator Letkinson said loudly.

"The two sides started a war of words before the game, and we all know that Kobo and Mourinho have always been at odds. The confrontation between them is absolutely as fierce as sparks hitting the earth-even though Mourinho has not won any game against Kobo's team. However, the fighting spirit of the Portuguese coach refers to the appreciation. Before the start of this game, Mourinho took the lead in provoking the war of words again!"

"But the war of words needs the support of the game results! I am afraid that what Mourinho needs to do is, in terms of the record of the match, at least, there must be a good game!"

"Now in terms of overall results, Mourinho is no longer dominant! He has two Champions League titles, Gao Bo also has two, Mourinho has two Premier League titles, and Gao Bo is about to usher in two Premier League titles!!"

"Of course, Mourinho has been in charge for longer, and he still has the advantage in the number of top league titles!"

Two commentators were speaking in the commentary booth.

At this time, the captains of both sides lined up in front!

Terry, who started the game, adjusted his captain's armband and twisted his wrist and ankle joints.

After the referee in front gave the signal, Terry shouted back.

So does Kompany!
"Ready to play, brothers!!"

Then, the two teams lined up to play! !

"The game is about to start! Players from both sides have already appeared on the court!!"

Far away in China!

Duan Xuan's voice came from the front of the TV.

Even though it is twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, his voice is still excited.

At this time, the Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV are also cheering up and preparing to watch the No. 20 round of the Premier League No. [-] focus battle!
"The No.20 round of the Premier League, Manchester City's home game against Chelsea is about to start, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams first!"

"First of all, the home team Manchester City, this game, Manchester City is the main force!! Goalkeeper Oblak, the central defender combination is Kompany and Umtiti!! It is reported that Real Madrid's central defender Varane has reached a preliminary agreement with Manchester City, but the two sides are still negotiating. Varane may transfer to Manchester City in the summer transfer window after the end of this season! It is reported that Trippier suffered a slight injury during training, and Gao Bo seems to not want to take risks for the time being. The two defensive midfielders are Casemiro and Fernandinho, the midfielder Griezmann, Sanchez on the left, David Silva on the right, and Hazard the striker!! On the bench, there are Kaka, Vardy and other players who can come on stage at any time to strengthen the attack. Chinese player Li Yuanshan has also entered the squad for this game, but the chance of appearance is not too great! "

"As for Chelsea, Mourinho sent a lineup with three midfielders!! Goalkeeper Petr Cech, four defenders Ivanovic, Terry, David Luiz, Azpilicueta! The three midfielders are Matic, Mikel, Kanter, forward, midfielder Sneijder! Forward William partner Eto'o!! It seems that Mourinho is going to strengthen defense in this game!!!"

Duan Xuan said.

This is obvious!

Mourinho is very obvious that he wants to play a defensive counterattack away! !

Three defensive midfielders, plus a midfielder Sneijder, two fast forwards!
Mourinho's purpose is very clear.

He thought of countless ways and summed up countless lessons.

He finally confirmed that the best way to deal with Gao Bo is to fight back with a strong defense!

The way he is most likely to win is also to defend and counterattack! !

Of course, even if you can't win this game!
Then you can't lose! !
draw!

It is also acceptable to Mourinho.

Although there is no sign of weakness in the mouth.

But Mourinho already knows that this season's league championship is out of reach for Chelsea.

Not only is Chelsea out of luck, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool don't want to get involved either.

Manchester City's lead is too big!

On the contrary, between No.2 and No.5, there is not much difference between each other.

The suspense of the championship is far less than the suspense of the fourth.

For Chelsea, there is no way to win the championship, at least, they have to be in the top four!

Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are Chelsea's opponents!
As for Manchester City!

Just a draw.

Of course it's better to win
