Chapter 165: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Premier League (Part I)
Manchester United started unbeaten in the league and went all the way until the end of the 12th round, still winning 2-0 away at Blackburn.
Accumulated 34 points, high on the list; Chelsea are second with 31 points. Arsenal are third.
In the 13th round of the league, Manchester United played Sheffield United away. 2 penalties were scored by the opponent and lost 1:2 away, and there has been no unbeaten team in the Premier League since then.
Chelsea drew this round and are only one point closer to Manchester United, with 32 points. In the next league game, the two teams are about to stage a showdown between Mars and Earth.
Jose Mourinho's relationship with the top management has been rigid recently, and although the team's record is not bad, it has lost its former dominance, and after winning the title for two consecutive years, many players in the team are in flux.
Abou forced Shevchenko to Mourinho in the summer transfer window, and the Kaisa and Mikel he wanted to buy were taken away by Manchester United, which made him very unhappy. The relationship between Mourinho and Abou is gradually becoming problematic and is no longer as good as it used to be.
In the Chelsea team, there are Kenyon and others who have seized power with Mourinho, it can be said that Mourinho is in a state of palace fighting at Chelsea, and it is quite uncomfortable to operate the team, even if the dressing room is about Abu.
It should be said that there are ghosts in the locker room......
At this time, Abu also included Mourinho in the inspection state, and if the team's performance declines, he may have to change the coach. Buying Chelsea, Abou is trying to win the title, and if a coach can't win the title, he can't use it anyway.
Abu has money, he can spend a lot of money, but he doesn't have the patience of Manchester United's management, he wants results, and after winning the Premier League, the only thing he wants is the Champions League.
Mourinho certainly knows the importance of facing Manchester United, and if he can't win, the pressure will only increase. The opponent who had been defeated by himself for two years in a row suddenly became so strong that he couldn't bear it.
Ferguson stayed in the Champions League group stage, losing away to Celtic, which is equivalent to selling Keane face and ensuring them to the last 16 of the Champions League. This Champions League group stage has little impact on Manchester United, who have already qualified early and secured top spot in the group.
Ferguson was at ease with his best preparations for the league: "This game is the pinnacle of the Premier League and I believe if we want to win the Premier League, the biggest opponent is Chelsea. ”
Arsenal alternates between the old and the new, the players have not yet been in place, and the league competitiveness is not strong. After Liverpool's defeat to Manchester United, they showed signs of decline, stumbling in the league and even being overtaken by Villa in the league standings.
Benitez has already started a winter transfer operation, and he urgently needs to strengthen in the winter transfer window, otherwise he will not be able to exert his strength in the second half of the season, at least a striker with a high goal percentage.
Rafa Benitez has already come forward to recruit Torres, who is confident of a fight against Manchester United if he arrives in the Premier League.
Ferguson was joined by Nemanja Vidic, who was doing so for the first time, but his performances have already won over the United fans and are very popular, and Ferguson is very optimistic about him.
'No questions asked, Chelsea's biggest threat to us is Didier Drogba, he can do anything, but I'll do everything I can to defend him. ”
'Shevchenko is better suited to Serie A, a bit uncomfortable in the Premier League, but he's very strong and we're not going to let up on him either. Vidic squinted, as if he was thinking about how to lock the two men up.
'But I'm also worried about Chelsea's defenders, how are they going to defend our front three? When I was in the team, I was always played by them, and several of our young people have unparalleled strength. ”
The Chelsea backline, led by John Terry, leads Carvalho and Bridge, and will face the torment of Kaisa and Wayne Rooney.
Yes, you read that right, it's Bridge. Terry likes him and wants to be friends with Bridge, ever since he saw Bridge's girlfriend......
Manchester United vs Chelsea has plenty to watch, with the Premier League Golden Boot likely to come between the two teams' scorers this season, in addition to the rivalry between old rivals in title contenders.
Manchester United's Kaisa has scored 11 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has eight and Wayne Rooney has seven league goals, all of them in contention for the Premier League Golden Boot. The three of them are also the strongest trio in the Premier League.
Chelsea's Didier Drogba has exploded recently, scoring 10 goals, second only to Kaisa, and according to Drogba's goalscoring form, he may even overtake Kaisa.
As for Shevchenko, although Mourinho doesn't like him, he is very strong, he has also scored 7 goals, and he has a strong attack.
Mourinho said: "We are at Manchester United and there is nothing to lose, yes, we are down in the league now, but it's not a problem, only two points. As long as we win the game, we can overtake Manchester United. ”
Jose Mourinho is unruly, but he has a lot of respect for Ferguson, and during his time at Chelsea, he did not say anything bad about Manchester United.
'The coaches and players are very good and it will be a big test for us, but my team is more mature and they have a lot of experience in winning titles, so tomorrow's game will be exciting.'
"I'm sure we'll have the last laugh!" Mourinho concluded.
Ashley Cole was interviewed with Jose Mourinho. He moved from Arsenal to Chelsea in the summer transfer window, a deal that was hidden and only quietly announced after the window closed.
Then it was labeled as "the most immoral" and "the most controversial" by the English media. For Ashley Cole's sake, Chelsea's comeback was quite costly, with Chelsea being deducted three points and suspended for a year.
CEO Kenyon and manager Jose Mourinho were punished by the Premier League Organising Committee for illegal contact with players, and Mourinho was fined £200,000.
Of course, Arsenal is also responsible, Ashley Cole is the team's academy, and the contract renewal conditions that were originally negotiated were 60,000 pounds, but before signing the contract, it was found that the owner wanted to deduct 5,000 pounds, and everyone would be angry.
So after a bargain, Ashley Cole moved from Arsenal to Chelsea, from Chelsea in exchange for Galla and a transfer fee of £6 million. Cole was later affectionately known as "Money Profit" by Arsenal fans!
I don't know if I secretly felt that Kai Sa was in love with his wife Cheryl in his previous life, and when Cole was interviewed, he suddenly pointed the finger at Kai Sa.
"Kaisa is very strong, but when I play, I will definitely be able to limit him." Cole laughed, "In my opinion, Drogba is the strongest striker in the Premier League. ”
There is no doubt that Kaisa is competing with Drogba for the Premier League Golden Boot, but Drogba has already proven himself in the Premier League and he will definitely be the winner. The Premier League is not the Eredivisie, there is no high goal rate here, Kaisa will hit the wall. "Cole continues to show favor to the new owner.
Mourinho on the side kept frowning, wanting to interrupt him, but it was difficult to start, he thought that when he was playing, he could only arrange more manpower to help defend Kaisa, "Ashley Cole's brainless ...... What does annoying Kaisa do? ”
Mourinho is very concerned about Kaisa's performance, and he finds that the more important the game, Kaisa's performance is better, and he has to defend!
