"Vilas [Villas], what do we do now?" Mourinho, who has finished a day of training at the Cobham training base, is consulting the right-hand man in his office, "should we let the players focus on gambling on the Champions Cup, or will we stick to the previous strategy and take advantage of Tottenham's distraction in Europe to focus on the league field?"

Mourinho has always valued his opinion as a compatriot and colleague who studied and worked under Robson Sr. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After all, not everyone has the ability to convince Robson Sr. to convince the Porto club to hire a seventeen-year-old half-year-old as a scout when he was still in high school. The most important thing is that Boas is not just good at paying lip service, he is really good at collecting and analyzing information about his opponents!

By the way, in the world of football coaching, which has always focused on personal qualifications, Robson Sr., who has already made a name for himself, dared to resist many doubts, appointing Mourinho, Villas-Boas and Giorge, young people who had no achievements in their playing days, or even professional football experience, and entrusted them with important responsibilities. I have to say, it's quite a remarkable thing.

"Hmm...... Jose [Jose], I think it's better for us to focus on the league and play it safer. Hearing Mourinho's inquiry, Villas-Boas first pondered for a moment before expressing his opinion, "You know, UEFA has always been quite annoyed by Chelsea's disruption of the transfer market, and they have stumbled us in the Champions Cup. This can be seen from the fact that we have met Barcelona and Juventus in the round of 16 and quarter-finals. So, it's unwise for us to put too much energy into the Champions Cup at this time. Moreover, Juventus have a very similar tactical style to us, but they have a lot more experience than we do, and it will be no easier to win them in the quarter-finals than it is to catch Tottenham in the league. ”

In fact, there is another reason why Boas has not been spoken, and that is that the current situation is completely different from last season's situation when the big teams were eliminated early. After a dark 03-04 season, this season's Champions League has reverted to the dominance of the giants - although there are non-top giants such as Monaco, PSV Eindhoven and Lyon among the teams that have secured a place in the Champions League quarter-finals, it is clear to everyone that they have no chance of repeating last season's feat of Porto winning the Champions League. In such a situation, it is very difficult for Chelsea, who are under UEFA's heavy care, to lift the Champions Cup!

"Well, I think I get what you mean, Vilas. After listening to Boas's analysis, Mourinho nodded approvingly. Clearly, the Portuguese madman has realised that the situation is no longer the same as it was when he was in charge of Porto, and UEFA cannot afford to let the angry Chelsea bring the Big Ears Cup back to Stamford Bridge this season!

While Mourinho was struggling with which battlefield to choose as Chelsea's next main attack, George was also plagued by the same problem at Tottenham Hotspur's headquarters in London City!

Regardless of Tottenham's current four points ahead of Chelsea in the table, that lead is not safe. Because in the last eight rounds of the league, Tottenham will have to face strong opponents such as Liverpool and Arsenal away from home - in the case of three-line fighting, even if George adopts a rotation strategy to slow down the physical consumption of players, it is difficult to guarantee that Tottenham will have the spare energy to deal with the league and the Champions League at the same time!

So, like Jose Mourinho, George now needs to decide where to attack next, so as to get more benefits for Tottenham!

"Sure enough, it's better to fight in the Champions Cup. Otherwise, when the Barcelona squad becomes more complete next season, it will be more difficult for Tottenham to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. However, unlike Mourinho, who chose to seek stability for the championship trophy, George chose to make the Champions Cup a key goal for Tottenham after some thought!

George knows that in the eyes of current Chelsea fans, the Premier League title is far more attractive than the Champions League. Of course, this is not to say that the Big Ears Cup is not as valuable as the Premier League title in the minds of Chelsea fans, but because they have waited so long for this league title compared to the Champions League that they never had the expectation of!

The last time Chelsea lifted the trophy in the English top flight was half a century ago in 1954/55. So, with a chance to compete for the Premier League title and the Champions League with UEFA obstacles, most Chelsea fans will support the team to focus on attacking the league scene.

Moreover, compared with the Champions Cup, the Premier League at this time is obviously far less influential than the former. So, as long as George can lead the team to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, it will be much less difficult for Tottenham to raise their reputation among the fan base than it is to win the league title!

For example, see Leeds United before. Is it not because they reached a Champions League semi-final in the 00-01 season that the "White Roses" were able to make the Young Guards so popular and have huge popularity among the fan base?

One might ask, given that Tottenham and Chelsea have both managed to rise on the back of a wealthy owner, so why isn't George worried that UEFA will be looking for trouble with him in the shadows, as they did with Chelsea?

Let's not forget that Abramovich is from distant Russia. In the eyes of those in power, the Russian tycoon is nothing more than an upstart. This, combined with the fact that Abeivo has little roots in mainstream European circles, makes it difficult for Chelsea to be taken care of. Therefore, UEFA bullying Chelsea can be said to be without psychological pressure, because they don't have to worry about the big guys coming to them for trouble!

Tottenham Hotspur is different, George's Nelson family is the most famous aristocratic family in Britain. Not to mention anything else, just with the in-laws of the major European nobles that broke the bones and tendons, lent UEFA ten guts, and didn't dare to take the initiative to find a draw and run to provoke Tottenham Hotspur controlled by George!

What's more, George is still the focus of Johansson's efforts to woo him. If UEFA blackened Tottenham in the Champions Cup, how could Johansson pull George into his chariot?

It is because of these considerations that George has decided to keep his team for the Champions League instead of going to fight Chelsea in the league!
