Chapter 302
After returning from the press conference, Mourinho's face was clouded.His entanglement with Barcelona has long been one of the favorite topics of the sports media. This time his team fell behind, so the media happily brought up this topic again to stimulate him.

The training ended early on the morning of the 21st. Mourinho borrowed a small meeting room in the hotel and called the whole team for a meeting.Not only the players in the big list, but several players who were not in the big list were also brought to Barcelona and attended the meeting together.

Mourinho said nothing as the players walked into the meeting room one after another.The players whispered and speculated about the content of the meeting.

When all the staff arrived, Mourinho closed the door, turned on the computer, and connected to the large-screen LCD TV. The picture that appeared on the screen was the match between Barcelona and Chelsea at home in the 04-05 Champions League quarter-finals .

The conference room suddenly fell silent.

Fans who have played the FM series in recent years know that Chelsea has the only rivalry with a non-domestic team: Barcelona.That's because in the history of the Champions League, Chelsea and Barcelona have a feud.

The feud between the two teams began in the Champions League in the 04-05 season.And after that, in the 05-06 and 06-07 seasons, the two teams met one after another, and they became a pair of enemies abruptly.Rather than saying that this is the unspeakable fate between Mourinho and Rijkaard, it is better to say that this is the unavoidable fate of Chelsea and Barcelona.

Three fights, two knockout matches, and one group match. In the process of the two coaches fighting each other, both sides had their own victories and eliminated each other once.Maybe the result during the game is not the most important, nor is it the most lingering, but the slightly hot scene on the court and the endless red cards have planted the seeds of hatred between the two teams.

The two teams met again in the semi-finals of the 08-09 UEFA Champions League. In the first round at the Nou Camp, the two teams drew 0:0, and the two teams met at Stamford Bridge in the second round.However, it was this encounter that created the ever-sharp voices of crusade on the green field, and it will never be calm.The result has been written, and the process has been seen by the world. No one can unravel the intricate plot.All kinds of reasons, everything is different, it is more fair for future generations to tell and judge.
In the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 11-12 season, Chelsea and Barcelona met again. At that time, Barcelona was in full swing. On the contrary, the Blues at that time seemed a bit lonely. However, in the first leg of the clash at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea still showed a strong side. 1:0 took the lead.Later moved to Camp Nou, Chelsea's intensive defense and sharp counterattack allowed them to win in the end.

No one spoke.Everyone quietly watched those clips and watched the fights.

They watched the first round of the 04-05 clash between the two teams. The African cheetah Samuel Eto'o's goal in the 64th minute of the game sealed the victory for Barcelona.

Goals from Gudjohnsen, Lampard, Duff and John Terry saw Chelsea knock out their opponents when watching the second leg.At that time, Terry was still a green teenager, a fledgling.

They looked at the first leg of the 05-06 season at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea left-back Del Horno was dyed red, Eto'o made a lore before the end, and the Blues lost at home.I also watched Ronaldinho and Lampard contribute to the team in the Nou Camp in the second round, and Chelsea were sadly out.

When the two teams met for the first time in the group stage of the 06-07 season, when the game entered the final stoppage time, the monster Drogba scored an angry shot from outside the penalty area, securing the victory for Stamford Bridge.

In the second match of that season, Lampard scored a goal from a zero-degree angle in the Blues. Barcelona once led Chelsea 2:1 with the goals of Deco and Gudjohnsen.Drogba was on fire again in the final moments of the game, and when he scored in stoppage time, Mourinho rushed all the way to the sidelines and vented his passion with a classic sliding knee.

The confrontation between the two teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 08-09 season brought the contradiction between the two sides to the peak, and thus led to the "sugar daddy theory".In the first leg at Camp Nou, Bosingwa, who replaced Ashley Cole as the left back, froze Messi perfectly, and the two teams eventually drew 0-0.

In the round of the game, Barcelona beat Chelsea with Iniesta's winning goal before the end, and squeezed out the Blues to enter the final by virtue of the advantage of the number of away goals and finally won the cup.However, referee Herning from Norway unexpectedly became the focus of the game. Chelsea believed that Herning missed at least four penalties that should have belonged to them. After the game, Herning even received a "global death warrant" from Chelsea fans. " threat.

In the 11-12 season, the two teams met again in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Drogba's push at Stamford Bridge in the first leg helped Chelsea take the lead.

In the second round of the game, Busquets and Iniesta scored successively, and Terry was sent off early. Chelsea, with 10 players, was unwavering and chased two goals in an extremely unfavorable situation. The goals of Ramirez and Torres in stoppage time tied the score at 2:2, and finally eliminated the thriving Barcelona. He managed to take home the trophy that year.

Then there was the game a few days ago, Chelsea fell behind three times and tied three times...

After the video was broadcast, everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of the tragic battle, unable to extricate themselves for a while, and the only sound of the players panting could be heard in the conference room.

After a long time, Mourinho's voice finally sounded: "In the history of the battle against Barcelona, ​​do you want to add another defeat or add another victory!"

"Victory, victory!" shouted the Chelsea players.

"Very well," Mourinho said, "I can't bear to lose to Barcelona again. Tonight, let's do the math together over the years. Frankly, before today, I hadn't thought about it." What kind of tactics are we going to play at the Nou Camp? I would have liked to continue with our defensive tactics, but no, if it's a draw we'll be out."

Shi Hao snickered from below.The simulation of the next game in the system has already let him know Mourinho's choice in advance-of course it is a counter attack!Although in simulated games, this option is not necessarily effective, in fact, Chelsea lost most of the simulated games.

However, an important factor cannot be simulated in the simulated game-morale!
Sure enough, Mourinho said: "So I decided, in this game, we will - attack!" He waved his hand, full of momentum, and swept Chelsea's players with sharp eyes.

"Do you dare to raise the banner of offense at the Nou Camp, destroy them with offense, and defeat them!"

"We must beat them!" "Victory belongs to us!" "We are the champions!" Chelsea players shouted excitedly.
