Chapter 369: A Fire in the Backyard
The reason why fans are so enthusiastic about this clash between Tottenham and Chelsea is partly because it is a strong conversation about the ownership of the leaders of the competition, and its influence and appeal are naturally extraordinary. On the other hand, the duel between the two brothers Mourinho and Giorgio is full of gimmicks in itself.
Not to mention, Tottenham and Chelsea took the limelight in European football by dividing up all the trophies they could have won last season. As the head coach of these two teams and the most accomplished young coach in today's football, the clash between Mourinho and George has naturally attracted the attention of countless people!
It took only 10 years to go from a ubiquitous translator to an internationally renowned champion coach, and Mourinho's experience was enough to make him a legend in the world of coaching. Although George's starting point and background are much better than Mourinho's, his achievements are not inferior to those of the madman, and he has won a Champions League, a Premier League title, two FA Cup titles and a League Cup in just two and a half seasons in his coaching career.
"Good afternoon, my old friend Andy Grey, and welcome to the fourth round of the Premier League, which will be broadcast on Sky. Andy Gray, sitting in front of the microphone, with a demeanor, "The match will be played against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. Among them, Tottenham Hotspur temporarily topped the standings with an astonishing record of winning all three games, scoring nine goals and not conceding one goal. Chelsea, on the other hand, are third in the table, but that's because the Blues are slightly inferior in attacking firepower, with the two teams being exactly the same on points. Considering that United are currently on the same level on nine points, I think that after this game, the current situation of three teams with the same points and only through goal difference will be completely broken!"
Naturally, the shrewd Sky TV could not have missed such a high-profile battle. This can be seen from the commentary combination they sent. Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, the pair of Sky TV ace commentators and old acquaintances of Premier League fans, unsurprisingly appeared in the live broadcast room to explain the head-to-head clash between Tottenham and Chelsea!
"Let me first introduce you to the starting line-ups of the two teams for this game. As soon as Andy Gray's commentary, which was in charge of stirring up the atmosphere, came to an end, Martin Taylor immediately picked up the conversation, "Chelsea, it seems that the previous Community Shield final was affected, and Coach Mourinho made some changes to the starting line-up. The goalkeeper is the Russian international Akinfeev, Terry and Carvalho partner in the central defence, the left and right wing-backs are Del Orno and Ferreira, the three midfielders are Makelele, Lampard and Essien, and Ribery, Duff and Ibrahimovic form the front trident!
"Martin, I don't know if you noticed it, Galla doesn't seem to be in the squad for today's game. Andy Gray said, looking at his partner beside him, his words full of doubt, "This is really a strange thing. Even with John Terry and Carvalho in charge, Galla doesn't get a chance to start, and he's more trustworthy than Hut. ”
"It's not surprising. Or rather, that's what to expect. Martin Taylor was not surprised by the question raised by his partner, and immediately gave an explanation, "With the character of coach Jose Mourinho, he will definitely not let a player who dares to spoil the atmosphere in the dressing room enter the squad for the game." ”
After realizing Galla's cheating attributes in the central defender position earlier than in his previous life, Mourinho did not hesitate at all, and decisively put the Frenchman's appearance order further back than Hut. The Portuguese has already made a decision that he would rather play a cameo role as a full-back than let Galla play as a centre-back as long as there is another option!
For Mourinho's arrangement, Gala is naturally extremely dissatisfied. The Frenchman, who thinks he is the best in the world at centre-back, exploded after learning from Jose Mourinho that he could only play as a full-back this season, further strengthening his determination to move away from Stamford Bridge!
However, after this, Gara once again showed people his poor public relations skills. The Frenchman did not go through the club's internal channels to resolve the problem between him and Mourinho, or submit a transfer application to the club, but first stabbed the contradiction to the media!
Gala's revelations can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. The British media, which usually have to do their best to make news when they are idle, immediately swarmed like mosquitoes that smelled blood. They first brought to light the idea that Galla was not doing well at Chelsea and intended to change to a new environment, and then added to the story of Galla's harrowing experience playing under Jose Mourinho!
No way, who made Mourinho's usual mouth so stinky and offended too many media and reporters? Now that people have found an opportunity to play on the topic, even if they are out of revenge, they will work extremely hard to smear and even demonize Mourinho!
It is for this reason that Mourinho is unlikely to put Galla on the squad for the sake of his authority in the team. Otherwise, his control over the team will inevitably be greatly weakened!
In addition, while Gudjohnsen did make Chelsea more dangerous in attack after coming on the last time the two sides met, Mourinho chose Essien, who defended better. Because after the return of Mascherano, Tottenham's defense has been upgraded to a notch compared to before, and the likes of Alonso and Gerrard no longer have to deliberately suppress the attack in order to stabilize the defense**. In this way, the Ghanaian Buffalo is obviously more in line with Mourinho's tactical needs than the "Ice Blade"!
After talking about the fire in Chelsea's backyard, Martin Taylor read Tottenham's starting line-up as well. Compared to the Community Shield final, George only made two changes: one was to return to the starting line-up, and the other was to replace Stephen Carr with McCone as the starting right wing-back!
In less than a month, Carl, who is the team's vice-captain, was put on the bench without causing any discontent within the team. It can be seen that McConn's strength has been recognized by Karl and other Tottenham players!
In this way, when the players of both sides took their places on the field, with the whistle of the referee on duty, Jobesdales, this much-anticipated game finally kicked off under the expectant eyes of the fans!
