Chapter 672 The Showdown Between Experience and Vitality
Ten years ago, when Jose Mourinho arrived at Stamford Bridge with the prestige of the Champions League, his imposing lectures earned him the nickname "Madman".

More often, Mourinho's aggressive eloquence is against Benitez, Wenger, Ferguson... The list is very long...

But the target of the Portuguese is basically the opponent's coach. Relatively speaking, he rarely quarrels with the players, and no player takes the initiative to provoke him.

However, this convention has now been broken.

"It's hard to imagine a player making such an impolite comment on the manager of another respectable club." Mourinho said calmly to the reporters surrounding him: "Maybe he should go to the hospital to see his head. .”

"Jose, Best is not only a player, but also an assistant coach!"

The corner of Mourinho's mouth twitched, ignored the reminder, and continued: "The first time I came to Chelsea, I bought 22-year-old Cech, made 24-year-old Terry the new captain of the team, and 20 years old. Robben at 17, Mikel at [-]!"

……

On the TV screen, Lineker spread his hands and said to the guests: "It seems that the Portuguese are not so stubborn?"

"Hahahaha!" Liverpool star Carragher laughed and said, "Gary, I know, you must have asked someone to interview Best!"

"Yes, yes, release it quickly." Manchester United star Butt grinned, "This is a good show!"

……

Sitting on a leather chair, Sun Wu turned the pen in his hand, smiled and said to the opposite reporter: "I know that Terry is one of the best defenders in the history of the Premier League, but he was captain of Chelsea in 2001. In 2004, he was the second captain of the team, and in that summer, the first captain Desailly retired..."

I could clearly hear the reporter opposite laughing, "Cech and Robben..."

"The whole world knows that it was bought by Ranieri, including Duff!" Sun Wu spread his hands, "The most important player bought by the Portuguese was Makelele...Let me do the math, that year the French The midfielder is 31 years old!"

"What about Mikel?"

"The poor Nigerian midfielder, the Silver Globe winner of the World Youth Championship, an excellent midfielder who was transformed into a midfielder, actually asked Makelele to be his teacher!" Sun Wu was filled with righteous indignation, "For someone's return, Mi Kerr should be the one who is the most upset!"

……

"Tsk tsk, did you hear that? Rebuttals one by one." Lineker laughed until the roots of his teeth were exposed.

"The Portuguese has met his opponent this time." Bart shook his head and said, "In terms of war of words, Best has never been afraid of anyone..."

"The chairman of Bayern Munich, Mr. Hoeness, should have a profound experience." Carragher laughed and nodded. "Gary, I think today's ratings will definitely increase significantly!"

Mourinho likes to start a war of words before the game, which is loved by neutral fans... just watch it, but people in the industry are annoyed by it... this time someone jumped out to provoke the portuguese, well, most of them Everyone is on Sun Wu's side, and Mourinho has a lot of enemies here.

Lineker smiled and pointed to the screen, "It's not over yet, let's see what Jose and Best will say?"

……

"In Inter Milan, there were Balotelli and Santon. In Real Madrid, I made 18 Real Madrid youth players debut." Very confident."

……

"Oh my god, Balotelli's father is Mancini, okay? Look at how good he did in Manchester City and Tottenham, ahem, although he often thinks about life..."

"Poor Thornton, he could watch Ronaldo to death back then. As a result, Mourinho would rather let Chivu play a cameo than give him a chance. Now Thornton is in... Newcastle, and he is almost relegated!"

"In the final of the Triple Crown, only one of the 11 starters, Pandev, was under 30 years old, and he was 29 years old..."

The reporter opposite finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Hey hey..." Sun Wu continued with a smile: "Real Madrid's 18 youth training players...Jesse, Morata, and Callejon are all excellent forwards produced by the Real Madrid youth training camp. Bayo, let me do the math... Adebayo was 30 years old!"

"Jose puts too much emphasis on experience, and this trend is getting worse and worse. Everyone knows that Chelsea's central and backcourt players are too old, but his signings last summer were basically attacking players."

The reporter interjected and asked: "Best, but Rooney did a good job at Chelsea, with 9 goals and 11 assists in the first half of the season."

"But Cavani only scored 5 goals in all competitions." Sun Wu shrugged. Premier League experience, even more willing to use Drogba on loan."

"Then...Best, do you have confidence in this game?"

"There is no doubt that Manchester United will win this game." Sun Wu said firmly.

……

"That's true." Butt rushed to say: "If they can beat Chelsea, Manchester United's opponents in the league will be relatively weak for a while. This is a great opportunity to grab points. This will determine whether Manchester United can enter the championship."

"I would like to see who Best loses to..." Carragher muttered: "As a professional player, you cannot participate in Premier League betting, so..."

"So after retiring, you started?" Lineker laughed: "I guess, Carragher must have bought Best to lose to Liverpool?"

Carragher's laughter proves that the other party is right. Sun Wu's first loss to a wealthy team is constantly adjusting. At present, the bookmakers are most optimistic about Chelsea and Manchester City.

At the end of the program, Lineker concluded: "The war of words between Best and Mourinho actually proves that the two teams have different team building strategies. Chelsea pursues honor, although the winter break bought Salah and Zouma, but Mourinho pays more attention to Rooney, Hazard, Terry, Cech and other experienced veteran players.

And Manchester United's starting lineup even has only one player over 30 years old, Thiago Motta, Ferdinand, Evra and Carrick gradually faded out of the main lineup, Giggs was also replaced by Januzaj, Klose also Can't start every game.

In a word, this battle between red and blue will be a duel between old and new!
Chelsea has experience, Manchester United is more dynamic, let's wait and see! "

……

Sun Wu turned off the TV with a slap, and said to Mike Phelan with a smile: "Who said that a group of children could not win the championship?"

"Alan Hansen, a Liverpool man." Jesús rushed to the front and said: "Tomorrow's game, Best, you are the captain."

Sun Wu nodded and did not speak.

Tomorrow's starting lineup is just like what Lineker said, Manchester United will be very dynamic!
Evra has a minor injury, Ferdinand is rested, Valencia is suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and Carrick cannot get a starting position. Only the newly joined Coleman and Motta are older than Sun Wu in the starting lineup. Wear the captain's armband as the team's third captain.

Back in his room, Sun Wu turned on his laptop and began to watch Chelsea's match against Hull City in the last round of the Premier League.

Just as everyone knows that Manchester United lacked a defensive midfielder before, everyone also knows that Chelsea lacks an excellent organizational midfielder.

At the beginning of the season, Mourinho chose to use Rooney and Hazard to take turns to retreat to sort out the offense, and then used Oscar to play the midfielder. During the intensive Christmas schedule, Mikel was given a premise, but the effect was very mediocre.

Among the games Chelsea won in the first half of the season, 3 games were 1-0, and there were 3 games with only a goal difference.

As a traverser, Sun Wu is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of Mourinho's tactics, sacrificing offense to improve defense, and what is needed in defense is experience rather than talent and vitality. This is what Mourinho likes to use. The real reason for older players.

But this also directly led to Mourinho's team being speculative in offense. The small number made it difficult to form a routine. The Portuguese developed a very bad habit during the years in Real Madrid, and the defense was left to everyone. , The offense is handed over to Ronaldo.

In today's Chelsea, Mourinho regards Hazard as the second Ronaldo.

"Still doing homework." Roommate Motta walked in, "I've never seen a teammate as tired as you."

"So, I must be the best of all your teammates." Sun Wu blinked, "Thiago, if you press high tomorrow, I will give you a sign."

Motta became interested, "Who is the target?"

Sun Wu smiled and turned off the computer, "Matic."

In the absence of an excellent midfield organization, Matic is the pivotal figure in the offensive and defensive conversion.
