Mourinho's statement in an interview with The Guardian was reasonable, and the person involved in Friske did not deny it at the time, plus the second-half decision of that game was indeed clearly biased in favor of Barcelona, so many referees who were angered by "World Sport" returned to normal.

So, everyone turned their attention back to their respective leagues.

Often at this time, the major European leagues are in a white-hot stage.

Even if Chelsea are now nine points ahead of Manchester United, it will not give them peace of mind, the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world, and there are often relegation teams beating the top few in the league, and sometimes even playing form, and beating teams of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc., have to be guarded against.

Chelsea's opponent in the next league is Everton, and Barcelona's opponent is not weak, it is Real Madrid's loyal younger brother Getafe, in the case of Real Madrid is only four points away from Barcelona, as the younger brother Getafe naturally shoulders the heavy responsibility of blocking Barcelona, so Barcelona does not dare to slack off.

Similarly, Le Monde Sport, the official mouthpiece of Barcelona, naturally has to turn its attention back to the league, after all, there are still two weeks left in the Champions League semi-finals, so there is no hurry.

Back in the league, Chelsea beat Everton thanks to a pass and shot from Arlo at home, but unfortunately Manchester United also won the league game at home to Sunderland, and the gap between the two sides is still nine points.

But for defending champions Chelsea, with only five league games remaining, a nine-point lead is an almost insurmountable chasm.

Chelsea will then start a back-to-back double fixture, which will continue until the second leg of the Champions League semi-final is over, before returning to the normal weekly fixture.

In other words, this period of time is also a test for Chelsea, so that Mourinho has to carry out a scientific rotation of players for the team again, otherwise the continuous use of a batch of players is likely to lead to an increase in injuries, Deco and Fellaini, who joined the team at the beginning of the season, have been injured and stopped, and Ballack and Essien are constantly suffering from minor injuries, if these mainstays cannot play, it will be an absolute disaster for Chelsea.

In addition to his own super individual ability, Elo's ability to score so many goals has a lot to do with the toughness and creativity of the midfield.

It was true in Valencia and it was the same at Chelsea.

With both Chelsea and Barcelona reaching the semi-finals of their respective domestic cups and preparing for the cup after the league, neither side has time to focus on the other side before the Champions League semi-finals, and more on the upcoming cup semi-finals.

Chelsea will take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, while Barcelona will take on Sevilla at the famous Stadio Pizjuan, home of the famous devil.

The opponents are all strong teams, and there is no room for error.

The Emirates Stadium has been a painful place for Chelsea this season, having been beaten here in their 63-game unbeaten run in the league only to lose 2-1 and miss out on their 64th unbeaten league run......

Chelsea rotated their players in the last round of the league to good effect, with Jose Mourinho continuing to rotate some of his players under the advice of the team doctor, such as Malouda, who has been playing sharply this season, appearing as the starting right winger, and Ballack and Essien being sidelined with calf strain, with Luka Modric and Mikel Mikel replacing them respectively.

The same can be said at the back, with Iganovic, who has been impressive lately, also sidelined with injury and replaced by England full-back Bridge.

Arsenal, who are currently third in the league, are still 13 points away from Chelsea with only five games left in the league, and Arsene Wenger has also adjusted the direction of the game to the Champions League and FA Cup, after all, they have reached the semi-finals, and no one wants to give up just like that.

It can be said that Arsenal is one of the teams with the best chance of stopping Chelsea from winning the championship, Arsenal's style of play is dominated by short passes, which is very ornamental, and the midfielders in the team are known for their outstanding skills and very strong ability to get rid of, so they will not look panicked in the face of Chelsea's muscular macho in the midfield, coupled with players with good technical speed such as Arshavin and Walcott on the wing, which makes Arsenal's style of play more diverse, making it difficult for Chelsea to guard.

The biggest headache for Mourinho is the current excellent form of Russian international Arshavin, who played Liverpool away to Arsenal in the last round of the league, and Arshavin played a big four to help the team draw 4-4 with the home team.

Indeed, the FA Cup semi-final at the Emirates Stadium confirmed that, with Arshavin breaking the deadlock in the ninth minute with a wide cut.

"Andrei Arshavin!" The Arsenal TV commentator excitedly shouted: "The 'Tsar' continued his competitive form at Anfield four days ago and helped Arsenal open the scoring at the Emirates Stadium!!" ”

Meanwhile, the Arsenal fans in the stands were thrilled as they watched the 2-1 home win over Chelsea in the 15th round of the season.

Even if Arsenal don't win the league title this season, Arsenal fans are at least proud that they are the only team in the Premier League that has consistently beaten Chelsea twice in a single season!

Mourinho, who was sitting in the dugout, frowned, obviously a little frustrated by the goal conceded in the ninth minute.

In the end, Arshavin's goal was due to a series of wonderful passes from the midfielder, which helped Arshavin open the gap and beat Bridge alone.

He knows that if this problem is not solved in the coming game time, then this goal will certainly not be the first goal conceded in this game.

After a while, Mourinho ran to the sideline and took advantage of the deadball to call Frank Lampard to his side.

In the next defense, the starting right winger has no longer stood up front, but recycled to the right midfield, Mikel and Lampard in the middle of the appropriate recovery, Modric also came to the left rib to assist the defense when defending, compressing Arsenal's frontcourt dribbling and passing space.

Sure enough, by compressing the space in Arsenal's attacking midfield, it will be difficult for Arsenal players to use the width of the pitch to create a numerical advantage to face Chelsea full-backs one-on-one.

There is no doubt that the rest of the time is Chelsea show time.

They took the counter-attack to the extreme.

Arsenal's penetration in the middle of the front is inevitably achieved through the involvement of multiple players, so it is difficult to adjust the entire backline at the first time when switching from attack to defense.

Sania and Alexander Song may have an advantage in static defending Iro, but they don't have an advantage in athletic battles, and Iro's combination of technique and speed is perfect, and his ability to maintain speed and change direction at high speeds is deceptive, allowing him to get rid of the ball.

In the 15th minute, Mikel precipitated Cesc Fabregas's pass to Adebayor's feet, and then passed it to Frank Lampard in front of him, who jammed Diaby's top position and passed the ball to Modric on the left side of his defence.

Alexander Song tugged on Elo's jersey in the half-circle arc to prevent him from getting rid of the ball in the first place.

However, Airo had a clear anticipation, and the moment Lampard passed the ball to Modric, he suddenly pushed Alexander Song away and took on Modric who had the ball.

Alexander Song didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Iroh to retreat, and the attention of the other Arsenal players who stayed behind was also subconsciously focused on Iro, so that they all ignored Drogba who also retreated, forming an oblique line with Iro's position.

Luka Modric took Frank Lampard's ball straight to the right and left Volko behind and continued to take the ball forward.

Cesc Fabregas, who made a mistake in passing, had to step forward to defend Modric, but Wenger told him before the game to focus on attacking playmaker Modric in the process of switching from attack to defense.

But Modric, who was holding the ball, didn't wait for Cesc Fabregas to get close, and passed the ball to Iro's retreating path.

"Ai!"

The Arsenal TV commentator exclaimed.

In the shot, Alexander Song is very focused, and he still puts a lot of pressure on the opponent even when Iroh is stuck in the position.

Seeing that Iello was about to take on the football, in order to prevent the quick counter-attack that Chelsea are known for, Alexander Song was ready to push Iello to the ground the moment he received the ball, strangling the counter-attack in the cradle.

That's why Arsenal have been able to keep a clean sheet for the last quarter of an hour.

As the ball drew closer, Song had his right elbow on Elo's shoulder, and both feet were moving in the back, believing that his combination would be enough to knock Elo to the ground, and then hear the referee blow the whistle.

Under normal circumstances, the referee will not give a yellow card for such a foul.

But...... Alexander Song seems to have forgotten that this situation was based on the fact that Aeloh had the ball to make it happen.

Iello leaned forward so hard under the pressure of Alexander Song that he looked like he could fall to the ground at any moment, and the referee also took the whistle in his mouth, and as long as the ball did not fall at the feet of the Chelsea players, he would blow the whistle.

At this moment, Iro, who seemed to be stumbling and about to catch the ball, suddenly gave up with his left foot and leaked the ball.

"Foul!! Well? Leaking balls?? Lineker went from exclamation to surprise.

Iroh was tall enough to obscure Alexander Song's vision, which meant he didn't know that Iroh had leaked the ball......

In order to avoid falling to the ground, Iroh held his arms on the turf to forcibly stabilize his body, and then bowed his body to complete the turn at the first time, and got up to kill forward!
