Who is Mr. Matthew?

If you've seen "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", then you will immediately recognize that he is the kind superintendent in the movie. With patience and love of music, he raised a group of naughty teenagers from a rotten school into a choir that sang the sounds of heaven.

Who is Arsène?

If you've watched the Premier League, you'll immediately tell that he's the rigorous professor in the Premier League. With his care and love for football, he has cultivated Arsenal into a Premier League hegemon who can play gorgeous football.

On 21 August, the Premier League's focus was fixed at Stamford Bridge. Arsene Wenger ushered in his 500th battle in charge of Highbury.

Before the game, politicians, businessmen, celebrities, officials, tycoons, fans, coaches, etc. from all walks of life in the UK gave congratulatory messages to the professor.

In front of the camera, the Magic Bird's congratulations were more like an involuntary compliment: "He (Arsene Wenger) is indeed a successful coach in the Premier League, but in Europe, we don't see Arsenal do anything"

The words of the magic bird are always like thorns hiding under the roses, perhaps he is just trying to distract the professor from this before the game.

When asked if the Magic Bird could play 500 games at Chelsea, the professor simply said as straight as Mr Matthew: 'He's a young man with a bright future ahead of him, so why not?' ”

Being able to establish himself in the Premier League and win the 500-game benchmark is not something that ordinary coaches can easily accomplish.

Time flies, back to that afternoon in the '96-97 season.

The phrase "Gu De Afort nun" made everyone remember this Frenchman who looked like a university professor.

Although the Gunners did not win the title last season, it is not an exaggeration to call Wenger the best foreign manager in the Premier League in 10 years, both in terms of coaching quality and time in charge.

The professor's success at Arsenal is perhaps one of the reasons why Magic Bird is now a Chelsea coach. Arsene Wenger made up his mind to move to Highbury from Japan nine years ago, and this has given many non-English coaches a track record of success.

"I feel like I've opened the door to overseas coaching because I've proven that foreign coaches can be successful, even if you're not from England. I remember my first full season and someone told me that an overseas coach had never won in the English league. ”

The professor smiled and continued: "At that point I said: 'You are wrong, if one day there are 20 overseas coaches in charge of each team in the Premier League, then one of them will win the title!' ’”

Now, the professor didn't wait for 20 foreign coaches to take charge of the Premier League, but he met Chelsea and Jose Mourinho.

The arrival of Mourinho has brought a breath of fresh air to the Premier League.

Many people thought that the Portuguese, who also paid attention to modern technological training methods and had a good demeanor, would become good friends with Arsene Wenger.

But they forgot a little bit of the two people who are homogeneous on the outside and diametrically opposite on the inside, and it is never difficult to become inseparable friends. In fact, Mu Shuai and Lord Fu have far more in common than between madmen and professors.

Like "Mr. Matthew", the professor dedicates all his energy to Highbury Training Ground, Highbury, and home, and he lives a three-point-and-one-line life.

Football is his life, and the Times's psychologist Hamilton, who analysed the two, said: "For Arsene Wenger, when football goes wrong, everything goes wrong. For example, at the press conference behind Colemen, the pressure and pain were on his face. ”

In contrast, Mourinho has repeatedly stressed that family interests are above all else, including football, he will take off medals to accompany his family with death threats when he wins the Champions League, he will watch "Fantastic Four" with his children before the start of the Premier League, and he has repeatedly admitted that his wife Tammy is the eldest in the family.

The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

Many people think that all this is just Mourinho's show, in order to make his opponents feel unattainable with his laid-back and complacent body - in a sense, Mourinho is like those students who are buried in their homework at home and always boast in front of their classmates that "I went to an Internet café to play games yesterday". He's just better at disguising himself.

Secondly, in terms of the management of the team and the handling of interpersonal relationships, the two have something in common: they are not "dictators" like Alex Ferguson, and they will not be "hair dryers" like knights in the dressing room, they both want the players to consciously complete the task.

But how do you accomplish this? The methods of the two are definitely different when you look closely.

The Magic Bird manipulates players with a strong love and hate, adhering to the Latin's habit of focusing on feelings.

Jose Mourinho wants all his players to fall in love with him, and to that end, he will do whatever it takes to show his charm and make his players dance with him like little mice that have heard the magic flute. Once he turned his face, he spoke mercilessly like a filthy lover, and Carvalho, who was recently criticized by him in public, tasted this taste.

And the calm Wenger, even in front of his cronies, rarely has a face.

But if he really likes you, he will definitely love you loyally. His disciple Adams said, "The professor is different from all of us who have been through it before. He is a thinker, a listener and cares about the interests of the players. He's an intellectual, and he knows the professional football scene from the inside out. As long as he sees a player running a lap, he knows if the person is in good shape or not. ”

Third, the two are also different in their use of the media.

The media is a weapon that Mourinho will never ignore, and he and Alex Ferguson are veterans of psychological warfare. By contrast, Arsene Wenger is more often the one who has been forced into a quagmire fight, with the occasional punchline but not very conscious of using the media.

After the Blues broke the monopoly of Manchester United and the Gunners in the Premier League, there was more talk about who the title would be for the new season.

A league with arguments and suspense is exciting.

The outcome of the matchup between the two teams will even affect the ownership of the Premier League title in advance, which is one of the reasons why all England fans are paying attention to this game before the game.

After the whistle blew at Stamford Bridge, the game continued to be played at a breathless pace.

Fast pacing, fast passing, and fast transitions.

In the high-intensity battle, the Gunners had little to do against the well-defended Blues.

Aside from Thierry Henry's occasional long-range shot that poses some threat to Cech, Makelele + four defenders almost form the most solid defence in England and even Europe.

In the 73rd minute, Frank Lampard took a free-kick and Drogba stepped in to meet it. While leaning on Sendros with his body, he tried to unload the ball in front of him.

However, strange things happened, Drogba actually used his knee to stop a juggling ball, and the result was even more surprising, the ball bounced off his knee and slid into the net, just past goalkeeper Lehmann, who had made a save.

It was an excellent "clever shot" in terms of power, angle and subtlety of the line, and it was only after the slow-motion replays that it dawned on people that the ingenious goal was due to the Ivorian's unflattering possession skills.

Senderos, who is called Campbell's successor by the professor, is completely blown up by the beasts of Côte d'Ivoire in physical confrontation!

It was a beautiful surprise for Chelsea, but Arsene Wenger was furious.

In his post-match recollection, the professor said: "Of course I was disappointed because it was so easy to concede! ”

It's easy to tell that the professor is making a pun.

The original text is "a cheap one", and "cheap" means cheap, inferior, effortless, and depreciated, but it is not known what kind of sentiment the professor wants to express.

In the end, Chelsea took all three points at home to the title winners, ending Chelsea's 97-year winless run against Arsenal thanks to Didier Drogba's "mistake to stop the ball".

40 games for the Blues vs 500 games for the Gunners, with the Magic Bird winning.
