Chapter 625: Championship Sprint
Chelsea's tenacity is the temperament that Mourinho brings to the table, while Bayern Munich's tenacity and tenacity are due to the temperament in their bones, although they are two completely different concepts, but on the field, the effect is the same. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If there is no opponent they don't want to meet in the Champions League, then Bayern Munich, like Chelsea, is not David's ideal Notts County opponent, including AC Milan, but Milan is more because of their overall tactics and tactical execution.
Chelsea was eliminated, and another point is very unfavorable for Notts County, with six rounds of league games left, Chelsea can put all its energy into the league, while Notts County still has to be distracted by the Champions League, even if Chelsea still has two rounds of important games against the giants, but it is equivalent to recovering some disadvantages, you know, Notts County in the intensive schedule of two-line battles, sometimes the state is not stable, this is an important bargaining chip for Chelsea to overtake Notts County.
Back in the league, Notts County with the Champions League to advance to the semi-finals, directly crushed Birmingham away from home, although it was only a rotation of the lineup, but for Birmingham in the middle and lower reaches of the league, it was still difficult to resist, and the first half was not over and surrendered.
In the same league game, Chelsea also quickly emerged from the shadow of Champions League elimination, winning all three points against their opponents and continuing the pressure on Notts County, with the two teams tied in the table and only goal difference between the two teams.
However, the next two rounds of the league are the focus of the championship, Notts County will host Benitez's Liverpool, which is a tough nut, and the next round of Notts County will go to Southampton away.
Chelsea are facing the toughest test, the Blues will face Arsenal and Manchester United in the two rounds of the league, if Chelsea can overcome strong opponents, then there is still hope of winning the title, but if they can't climb these two mountains, I am afraid that they will really have to say goodbye to the league title!
Jose Mourinho is under intense pressure after being knocked out of the Champions League, and Ranieri was able to take Chelsea to the last four of the Champions League last season, but the Blues with an increasingly strong squad have stopped in the quarter-finals this season, can it be said that he has done a better job at Chelsea than Ranieri?
Maybe many people are upset with Mourinho, after all, last season Chelsea met a Champions League weak team like Celta in the first round of the Champions League knockout round, and met the national team Arsenal in the second round, and it is not too much of a problem to advance to the semi-finals, and lost to the French team Monaco in the semi-finals, although Monaco later won the Champions League, but this does not mean that Monaco is very strong!
And Mourinho's Chelsea met the revived Barcelona in the first round of the Champions League this season, you know, Barcelona with the world footballer Ronaldinho is overwhelmed by the galaxy battleship Real Madrid in La Liga.
Although the league was eliminated by Bayern Munich in the second round, Chelsea did not fall behind in the two legs, and won 4-2 at home, and they only lost on away goals.
But a lot of times, people are consequential, they only see that Chelsea did not break into the last four of the Champions League, then Mourinho is not qualified.
If it weren't for Mourinho's side, who are still neck and neck with Notts County in the Premier League table, and still retain the hope of competing for the title, I'm afraid the magic bird would have been drowned in saliva!
In what position, what kind of pressure to bear, leading the most luxurious Chelsea, if you can't achieve the best results, it is normal to be sprayed, this small blow will not be able to knock down Mourinho, compared to the previous consecutive losses in the League Cup and Champions League finals, this really can't be counted as a blow.
'Chelsea haven't lost their hopes of winning the title, maybe it's a good thing to be out of the Champions League so we can be more focused in the league, what we need to do is win every game and wait for Notts County to make a mistake, the Magpies have two Champions League semi-finals to play before the end of the league and it will be a big deal for them, as long as we are confident that the title will be ours!'
Jose Mourinho looked confident in front of the media, as if he was the one who had really crossed back from the future, having seen Notts County overtaken by Chelsea after the defeat.
Perhaps his words will give Chelsea fans a lot of confidence, but for the media, believing in Mourinho is a ghost!
When Chelsea knock down Arsenal and Manchester United in a row, let's talk like this, no matter how you look at Notts County's schedule, it is more reliable than Chelsea.
Regarding the doubts of the media, Mourinho just said "wait and see", it is useless to say too much at this time, only to really talk about the results.
In the penultimate league game, two key battles have also been hotly stirred up, one at home to Notts County against Liverpool and the other with Chelsea hosting Arsenal, a game that may not yet decide the title for the two teams aiming to win the title, but it is definitely a crucial round.
Perhaps Rafael Benitez's Liverpool is not a character to be messed with, although the Reds still do not have a consistent record after Benitez took over, but the team's temperament has changed dramatically, and they have performed particularly well against strong teams, and the reason why they did not enter the Champions League zone is precisely because they lack the ability to consistently score points against weak teams.
But in comparison, it is obviously more difficult for Arsenal to deal with, if Arsenal can't get points consistently, then compared to Manchester United, which is chasing closely, and even Liverpool may catch up, in that case, Arsenal will not even be able to get a Champions League place.
Therefore, the two games before the game attracted countless eyeballs, and even the eyes of the entire world football began to gather towards the Premier League.
According to the odds offered by the bookmakers for the two games before the game, it is clear that Notts County are the favourites to win Liverpool at home at 1.68, the two teams draw at 3.10, and in the other game, Chelsea's home win over Arsenal is only 2.08 and the draw is 3.43.
Notts County and Chelsea are competing for the title, and Liverpool and Arsenal, the two traditional giants, have now become the foil of the opponent's title race, which is really a bit unacceptable to the two giants, although this is the case, but it is unpleasant, so in this round of the league, the two teams vowed to give their opponents a memorable lesson away from home, so that everyone knows what the price of ignoring the two giants will be!
