As George predicted, Chelsea's surprise draw at home to Charlton Athletic caused quite a stir in English football - with Mourinho's coaching skills and Chelsea's iron style, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Tottenham to regain the top spot in the table in the hands of the all-out Blues!

However, the reality is so dramatic. Just when it was thought that Chelsea would be able to hold the lead on those two points until the end of the season, or the Champions League knockout rounds, the Blues capsized in the gutter at Stamford Bridge and the hard-won two-point advantage was wiped out in an instant!

Chelsea, a team that is so stable and cold-blooded that all competitors feel helpless and even desperate, actually shook hands with Charlton Athletic at home!

You know, before this game, Charlton had only picked up 28 points from the 22 Premier League games that had ended. That's less than half of Chelsea's league points, and the most famous players in the squad are homegrown striker Darren Bent and Tottenham Academy graduate Luke Young, who later made the national team under Fabio Capello. Such a team actually allowed Chelsea to suffer their second draw in the Premier League this season. Such a result makes people have to sigh that football is really a thing full of suspense and unknown.

Thanks to Charlton Athletic's help and a goal difference of much more than Chelsea, Tottenham have finally regained the top spot they had lost due to injuries and multi-fronts. Buoyed by the news, the players and supporters on the Tottenham side had a fantastic weekend in high spirits.

At the same time, there was a gloom at the Cobham training base. The Chelsea players, who had just been deflated by Charlton Athletic, were like frosted eggplants, undergoing recovery training under the supervision of the coaching staff, and there was no sign of being an iron army.

It is not surprising that this is the case. While the likes of John Terry and Frank Lampard helped Chelsea win the league title last season after a half-century absence, the shadow of Tottenham lingers on their minds. After all, many believe that if Chelsea hadn't been knocked out of the quarter-finals by Juventus and could have focused on the league in the sprint stage, and the third-tier Tottenham were pitted by Clattenburg's stump at a crucial moment, the Blues would not have had a chance to "snatch" the trophy from Tottenham. Not to mention, Tottenham also won the Big Ears Cup and FA Cup at the end of last season, and completely outperformed Chelsea in terms of honours and head-to-head records!

Therefore, when Chelsea was tied by Tottenham in the standings due to this unexpected draw, and even lost the leader position because of goal difference, these psychological shadows of Chelsea players towards Tottenham were immediately stimulated, causing them an extremely serious mental burden!

To add insult to injury, a large group of British media also laid a swath on Chelsea in the aftermath of the draw, undermining the Blues' title prospects and lashing out at Jose Mourinho's strategy and coaching philosophy. They believe it was the Portuguese's conservative tactical approach and minimal rotation of the squad that led Chelsea to lose the top spot.

As we all know, Mourinho's relationship with the media since taking charge of Chelsea can be described as incompatible. Although the Portuguese has always been able to bring plenty of material to the journalists who are caught in the news shortage, his flamboyant style and his penchant for strong words have made the media hate him. Therefore, after Chelsea was ousted from the top of the table by Tottenham due to goal difference, these respective owners either explicitly or implicitly did not continue to track and report on Emirates Gate and related incidents, and the reports about Aston Villa gradually became difficult to attract the attention of fans over time, and the British media who had nothing to do for a while regarded Chelsea as a new round of fire targets!

Usually do not accumulate virtue, the wall falls down and everyone pushes it. Who made Mourinho's usual mouth so poisonous, and Chelsea, who threw money everywhere and poached people, is the most hated team in European football today? Now that there is an opportunity to retaliate, these people will naturally come up and step on Mourinho and Chelsea.

In the face of the public opinion offensive launched by the media, Mourinho naturally will not swallow his anger or let it go, and let the other party smear him. When asked questions and interviews by reporters, the Portuguese madman said with an extremely tough attitude: There is no problem with his tactics and employment, and a draw is not the end of the world for Chelsea, but will stimulate the fighting spirit of the players more and play a stronger fighting force in the future games!

At the same time, for the draw with Charlton, Mourinho was also shocking, pointing the finger at the referee team who officiated the game, claiming that if it were not for the linesman's misjudgment and Carvalho's "unwarranted" red card, Chelsea could have won at Stamford Bridge!

Jose Mourinho's tough stance was not surprising, but it still caused further waves in the already calm English football scene – while the quality of refereeing in England is notoriously poor, it is extremely rare for a manager like Jose Mourinho to judge the referee's decision whenever he doesn't win.

Admittedly, Mourinho's approach of drawing firepower on his own can effectively alleviate the psychological baggage of the players, but it also lays a hidden danger for him and Chelsea's future. After all, referees are human beings, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and missed judgments in the game. There are always people who catch some mistakes and blame them endlessly, and they will also have anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts.

It is foreseeable that if Mourinho does not change this style in time, the unfavourable penalties against Chelsea will only increase in the future. The fact that Chelsea in the previous life would be reclaimed to the top of the Premier League by Manchester United after '06 has nothing to do with it.

Just when people were talking about Chelsea losing the top spot in the league and Mourinho slamming the referee's decision, a message from the FA headquarters shook the entire English football world, and its influence was so great that it even attracted the strong attention of fans around the world!

On January 26, FA president Jove Thompson held a press conference at the FA headquarters. At the press conference, Thompson announced that the FA had decided to terminate Eriksen's contract in view of the extremely negative impact on the England national team and English football. As for the vacant position of the head coach of the England national team, after internal discussions in the FA, it was decided that the owner and head coach of Tottenham Hotspur Club, Viscount George Nelson, will also be concurrent!
