For Wolfsburg players, it was a big headache to meet Jose Mourinho's team in the Champions League. After the draw results came out, the whole team was also depressed. And this mood was reached after learning from the news the next day what Chelsea said after the draw.

"You watched the news and know what Mourinho said to the media?"

After the draw, when the next day, before the match against Augsburg, in the dressing room, Perisic whispered a question to Gao Shunyao, Gao Shunyao saw the same frown on Perisic's face as himself. He nodded slightly, but also with a wry smile, saying that he already knew Mourinho's words, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Just yesterday, immediately after the draw, Mourinho was interviewed by the media in England, and his interview made the Wolfsburg players in Germany smell the danger signals.

'I've played against Wolfsburg and I'm very familiar with this team, they are a very strong team, especially their physicality, which is impressive under coach Magath. It was in last year's game against them that I saw Nemanja Matic as the best midfielder and brought this deserving player to Chelsea. And he will also be a good complement to my experience of Wolfsburg and give me an advantage in the game against Wolfsburg. ”

In Mourinho's words, he didn't have too much excessive ridicule. At first glance, his words seemed to be very polite to Wolfsburg. He not only praised the dedication and seriousness of the Wolfsburg players, but also affirmed their quality. However, if you analyze it carefully, you can see that there is some irony in his words.

He was impressed by Wolfsburg's physical strength, but he didn't mention Wolfsburg's tactics, to put it bluntly, he was ridiculing Magath for being just an individual coach, and there was nothing unique in his tactics. He said Nemanja Matic was the best player at Wolves and deserved his eye, and no doubt that the rest of Wolves didn't deserve to play for Chelsea. And he referred to last year's match against Real Madrid, and said that he poached the best player, Nemanja Matic. In the final analysis, it is also a reminder to Wolfsburg: Don't forget that you lost to me last year, you are just my losers, your good players can dig if I want, we are not a grade team.

His words seemed to be a very peaceful evaluation of Wolfsburg, but in fact, the information revealed in his words. But every sentence is full of ridicule and sarcasm. The eloquent coach mocked Wolfsburg with words that seemed to be complimentary, which naturally made the Wolfsburg players very unhappy.

What's worse is that his words are enough to distort the media's comments. In fact, as soon as he spoke, almost all the media immediately assumed that Wolfsburg would definitely fall behind in the game against Chelsea.

The media also has some speculation about the outcome of this match. And in their opinion. Mourinho's experience in the game, his good attitude, and Chelsea's strength were enough to make Chelsea's victory Mourinho's words put the media on his side and discouraged the Wolfsburg players.

"This guy is really good at playing tricks."

For Mourinho's words, the Wolves players can only complain a few words in the dressing room. And for them, what frustrated them the most was not Mourinho's hidden taunts, but that he had declared war in his words.

As a coach. Mourinho has always been known worldwide for his excellent psychological warfare abilities and his outstanding eloquence. Engaging in psychological warfare before a match is also one of the things he does best. Before the game even began, he had already begun the war against Wolfsburg, through a discourse. He put psychological pressure on the Wolves players and by reminding them of the gap between the two sides, it was clear to them that their game against Chelsea would never be easy.

And his words did play a big role. After hearing his words, the Wolfsburg side was indeed a little uneasy: there was no other reason. Mourinho's words were almost all the truth, and after telling the truth again, he said that he would definitely be able to defeat Wolfsburg, which also sounded very reasonable.

He did beat Wolfsburg, Chelsea did get stronger, and he did have Nemanja Matic, who knew Wolfsburg's tactics very well, and this made people feel more and more that Mourinho's declaration of wanting to beat Wolfsburg was very serious.

And his attitude has also seriously affected the media's perception.

In fact, before he spoke, some media were quite optimistic about Wolfsburg. Because before the start of this game, it is impossible to determine what Chelsea's real purpose is this season, whether Chelsea want to win the league or go further in the Champions League, or is it really like Mourinho said, they just don't have any pursuit this year, just play around with these speculations, either of which is possible, but none of them seems to be true.

In fact, if the current Chelsea are analyzed rationally, the best way is not to waste energy in the Champions League, but to shrink back and concentrate on the league.

The English side is playing faster than the Bundesliga, and their league battle has entered the final countdown stage. Chelsea still lead the English league with 6o points in the league. If they reclaim their tentacles and work harder in the league, perhaps they may really touch the English trophy after this season, an honour that Chelsea will not have the opportunity to strive for.

But if they still have to survive in the Champions League, I am afraid that in the next league competition, they will not be so smooth, after all, the competition they face will also be very fierce: after all, their three main rivals, Liverpool have no Champions League to play at all, Manchester City and Arsenal, and now they have all finished the Champions League. They are close to Chelsea and are likely to catch up with Chelsea. Give it your all, Chelsea can still win, but it's difficult to win again with the Champions League distracted.

In this regard, the most sensible thing to do is to stop caring about the Champions League and go all out to play in the league. That's the biggest reason why many media outlets believe Wolfsburg could beat Chelsea. Compared with the honor of the Champions League semi-finals, the league championship is a real trophy, and it is too stupid not to put the championship trophy.

However, Mourinho's attitude seems to be to do it once. And if you take into account the other things that happen to Chelsea, it really should be done.

Chelsea are a team that has been thriving since Abou took over. And their long-term pursuit, in addition to the championship, also has the long-term pursuit of becoming a giant. And as a giant team, long-term stability is a very important thing. Chelsea are afraid that they will not allow their team to be too poor in the Champions League, especially considering the embarrassing situation last year, Chelsea may force themselves to go further in the Champions League.

Last year's Chelsea were the reigning champions of the Champions League, but they were forced to play in the Europa League, which is arguably a big shame for them. After experiencing this humiliation, Chelsea's club image was also heavily damaged, and it became a laughing stock for a while. To salvage that image, a Champions League quarter-final is clearly not enough. In order to save their club image, maybe Chelsea will work harder in the Champions League, which is also a possibility.

Of course, the long-term performance of the club is sometimes not very valued by the coaches, and more coaches choose to look at the short-term benefits, and it is more in line with their pursuit to be able to win the championship in the short term. It's just that Mourinho's situation at Chelsea is a little different: first, he did say that he wanted to stay at Chelsea for a long time, and after experiencing the farce with Real Madrid, it is estimated that he is also mentally exhausted and reluctant to move around. After all, he has a past friendship with Chelsea, and the relationship with him here is very deep, and Chelsea has also staged a farce of changing coaches in the past few years, and it is estimated that he is already a little tired, and Abu's desire for the Champions League has also been satisfied, and now that they have met together, I am afraid that they will no longer think about short-term championships, and they will indeed consider some long-term things.

On the other hand, as we all know, Mourinho and Chelsea's previous manager Benitez do not get along, although Benitez is just a firefighting coach who left after half a year at Chelsea, but Mourinho still cares a lot about the mark he left when he was in charge of Chelsea.

Since taking office, he has always looked down on Chelsea's Europa League title last year, and has repeatedly said that a team like Chelsea playing in the Europa League should not be regarded as an honor. In order to prove himself, I am afraid that he will not easily admit defeat in the Champions League.

Unlike Manchester City, although it is also a mob, Chelsea's original accumulation is basically complete. Now they are no longer taking the championship very seriously, what they need is more fame and consistent results. And it is precisely because of this pursuit that Chelsea will never relax, which is the most important message in Mourinho's words before the game.

This game will definitely be a tough game before it comes, and that's what Mourinho wants to convey to Wolfsburg. In this game, he didn't have any intention of ignoring it. Last year his team beat Wolfsburg and this year, he wants to do it again.

Through the media, he told Wolfsburg his choice. He wanted to put pressure on Wolfsburg and make Wolfsburg feel intimidated. It's just that, maybe what he didn't expect was that in addition to being afraid, Wolf Castle also had some other moods after his words. To be continued.
