Chapter 382: An indissoluble bond with Manchester United
readx;
After the match against AC Milan, Chelsea's stunning performance of three goals in five minutes in the second half became the talk of the whole game, which was also the turning point of the whole game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the AC Milan players were all woken up by these three goals, at this time, they were powerless.
If it's 4:2, the AC Milan players won't be too entangled, Ancelotti won't care too much, the difference is two goals, back to San Rossi, they can also recover, and they have two away goals, which has a big impact on the result in the two legs.
But Robben's golden goal at the end made AC Milan from the coach to the players chill!!
Two balls are easy to chase, but what about three balls!? Even though Carlo Ancelotti is confident in his team, he is not sure he can score three goals at home to Chelsea, AC Milan are not Barcelona after all, they are better at defending than scoring.
Thinking of this, all the Italian media are chilled by Chelsea's terrifying offensive ability, AC Milan's defense is definitely the top in Italy, but this kind of ironclad defense actually allowed the opponent to score 5 goals in 90 minutes of play, facing Chelsea, AC Milan's copper wall has become a paper tiger that can be broken with a stab.
Regardless of what the media thought, in the end Chelsea won the game by three goals at home, a score that was so good for Chelsea that they almost stepped into the last four of the Champions League with one foot.
And AC Milan is not completely out of hope, as long as they can play a 3:0 at home, then they can directly qualify, but now AC Milan's league title is under constant threat by the Roma team, I am afraid they will not be able to cope with the Champions Cup game at all times, so after the game, even most Italian media are not optimistic about AC Milan's form.
Unless they can find a way to break down Chelsea's defence and stifle Wang Li's play, it won't be easy to score three more goals at home. In fact, the former is a bit more difficult than the Italian side, although Chelsea's defence is also solid, but it is a bit of a gap compared to the Italian side, and the latter is the most difficult, in fact, all Chelsea's opponents have been studying this season, but at least so far, no team has really succeeded in doing so.
Perhaps, they can only hope that God will help, if they can also play a ** in San Rossi with 3 goals in 5 minutes, they still have a good hope of winning.
At the end of the game, Ancelotti, who shook hands with Mourinho, was full of helplessness, and his old face was all lost in this game.
Before the game, Carlo Ancelotti had said 'five minutes to knock out Chelsea', but now he has to prepare for the next game. Mourinho, on the other hand, had a smile on his face, and he really had no reason to be unhappy when he played this score, and he was full of smiles when he shook hands with the Italians, which was the opposite of before the game.
Finally, Mourinho also patted Ancelotti on the shoulder with a victor's smile, signaling him not to be too sad, which made the Italian even more depressed, knowing that he is four years older than Mourinho.
After the game, the media focused all on Chelsea's five-minute eruption in the second half, Wang Li's stunning performance shocked the whole of Europe, and Chelsea used a very simple long ball to easily break down the AC Milan blockade, a highlight that made all clubs who have suffered from the devastation of Italian defence think deeply.
"Shouldn't we buy a strong center and play a long pass!?"
Many small Italian clubs are thinking about the possible surname of this style of play, and this tactic only requires a high level of ability from the center forward at the front of the team, and for the midfielder players, except for a long pass, there are not too many requirements at all, such an economical and practical tactic has opened up new horizons for many clubs.
Chelsea and Jose Mourinho have become models for many clubs to learn from, and all of a sudden, the news in the media immediately came out of thin air - "AC Milan extended an olive branch to Gilardino ......"
"Liverpool bullish on Woolfhampton striker Pitt ......"
"Real Madrid are interested in bringing in Manchester United goalscorer Van Van Van. Nistelui ......."
…… In short, the price of a powerful center forward in the transfer market has risen sharply, and some tall center forwards who are not always favored in the club have all become sweets.
The AC Milan media put Kaladze on the gallows, believing that Kaladze was a 'traitor', that Kaladze was the turning point of the game, and that Chelsea would not have won the game by such a big margin if he hadn't scored an own goal.
According to them: 'It's not that Chelsea are too strong, it's that AC Milan have been traitors. ’
However, Ancelotti scoffed at this claim, and in front of the media he said: "It was just an unintentional own goal, this kind of ball is very common in games, Kaladze is a strong player, I don't blame him for that." ”
As a party to the heart of the heart is not comfortable, now he is the first substitute for AC Milan, in AC Milan, where many world-class defenders are gathered, it is not easy to mix in this position, after the game he very low-key to all AC Milan fans, and said that he will try to let the team beat Chelsea in San Rossi.
Subsequently, many AC Milan players also publicly expressed their support for Kaladze, and it would be very unwise to hear discord within the team at this sensitive time.
However, this did not have much impact on the two managers, and in the post-match press conference, Mourinho did not mention the matter at all, but everyone praised AC Milan's defence, saying: "They are better defensively than us, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the number one in the world, and there is no doubt about the quality of every player at the back. ”
He then added: "However, I am most optimistic about their youngster Kaka, I admire his performance in the game, and the Brazilian teenager really deserves the title of the best foreign player in Italy. ”
But these flattering words changed the taste in Ancelotti's ears.
If AC Milan's defense is number one in the world, what is it that Chelsea have scored five goals in a game? Offense first? This is **naked sarcasm!! And the second sentence is purely an olive branch to Kaka, Ancelotti even suspects that the Russian predator is already in action, knowing that this is such an important game, as the president of the club, Mr. Abramovich is impossible not to watch.
"Kaka is not for sale! He is one of a kind! ”
When many English media 'cared' about Kaka, Carlo Ancelotti said something straight about it: "It's like Chelsea's Allen. Like Wang, is Mr Mourinho planning to put him up for sale on a summer transfer? ”
"Of course not!"
Mourinho affirmed, and then continued with a smile: "The salary we give Allen is even more unique, but it is said that Kaka's treatment at AC Milan is not very good......
This sentence sounded pure disgusting to Ancelotti, didn't it force him to go back and apply for a salary increase for Kaka?
But in reality, Italy's head coach does not have the power of the manager of the Premier League team, that is, Ancelotti does not have the right to give the player a salary increase.
As a result, the press conference broke up unhappily.
After the aftermath of this game passed, European bookmakers once again lowered the odds for Chelsea to win the championship, and now the lowest is a company in London, England, and they have even adjusted to the ultra-low odds of buying two to one, mainly because at the beginning of the season, many Chelsea fans all bought Chelsea to win the championship, if Chelsea really won the championship, then due to the beginning of the season to set more than 40 times the odds, the company will face bankruptcy.
Many European bookmakers' top brass are now even calling for a halt to betting on Chelsea to win the title, which they feel is too risky.
The English media began to hype Chelsea again, claiming that both Chelsea and Wang Li were now at the peak of their form, and that their performances were consistent and convincing.
However, according to that statement, Chelsea have never slipped into form since the start of the season.
On April 9, Chelsea lost to Southampton away, in this game, Mourinho sent all the substitutes, and even a few youth team players mixed in, the final score was 1:0, Southampton facing relegation crisis easily scored three points, which made them very satisfied with the lack of hope, after the game, the opposing manager also praised Chelsea's spirit of play.
However, this point has not been recognized by any media.
Chelsea have already won the league title and who Mourinho sends into the game is not up to them.
However, the power of the media should not be underestimated, and with many clubs who have been beaten home and away by Chelsea this season, the media have been unanimously demanding that Mourinho should face up to the league. On the other hand, there are teams that play against Chelsea, and they feel that Mourinho's approach is very correct, and that it is natural to give up an inconsequential game.
Both of these views represent the interests of the respective teams and the media, which are spitting on each other on this topic in the absence of the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho doesn't matter at all, the players in Chelsea's development squad and youth squad are even more jubilant, and many young players are delighted to be able to represent Chelsea in a Premier League game, which they would never have had a chance under normal circumstances.
On April 10, the second day of the 32nd round of the Premier League, the managers of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers gathered in London for the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals.
On this day, the Chelsea Football Club players also gathered in their offices to watch the ceremony, the FA Cup and Champions Cup are Chelsea's goals this season, and the FA Cup is much heavier. The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, and in the eyes of most English fans, the title even carries more weight than the league title.
For Chelsea, the opponent who wants to play against the most is of course Blackburn, although they are also very experienced in playing Manchester United and Arsenal, but Blackburn is the softest persimmon, if Blackburn can be drawn, then Chelsea will step into the Millennium Stadium and let the other two teams fight.
Since Chelsea won the league title, the FA also gave face to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to decide who the four teams would play against each other, so the Portuguese stood up and walked to the stage in a very beautiful way, looking at the four exquisite cards, he thought for a long time before taking the one on the left.
Unfortunately, Mourinho's luck was really not good, when he opened the card-style note, all the media cameras in the audience were on the old jazz sitting in the front row.
Manchester United!!
Manchester United vs Chelsea!!
To say that Chelsea really have an indissoluble bond with Manchester United this season.
When he learned of this result, Mourinho immediately became furious, and he stood on the stage and openly questioned loudly: "I doubt the FA's fair surname!!" ”
After speaking, he ignored the stunned FA officials and reporters next to him, and directly opened a card on the right, on which the Blackburn Rovers emblem and the English letters of 'blackburnrovers' were clearly drawn.
"Oh, sorry, I'm just talking about ......"
Mourinho looked at the style on the card, blushed immediately, and after leaving a puzzling sentence, he turned around very easily, ignored the eyes of everyone next to him, walked straight down the stands, and immediately walked out of the draw site, and even when he left, he said hello to Sir Alex Ferguson very friendly, and then took the team's car back to the club.
No one stopped him, and after Mourinho disappeared outside the door for more than 10 seconds, the whole scene was still silent, everyone was recalling the scene just now, and even many people still suspected that they were dreaming.
As a result, the man who stirred up the entire Premier League season has once again become the talk of the English media, and his live video of openly questioning the FA has skyrocketed in hits on various websites, even directly surpassing Wang Li's 'Dream Dance Steps' to become one of the most popular short films in England in April.
In the afternoon, FA CEO Ian Anderson. Watmore held a press conference, and he said angrily: "This is a serious insult to the FA, we will discuss the results as soon as possible, and we will definitely punish this kind of ungentlemanly 'thug' severely!" ”
Shortly after the press conference, the FA's penalties were introduced: a fine of £300,000 for Chelsea FC, a £100,000 fine for Mourinho himself, and a six-round suspension from the league.
This kind of punishment is already very serious in general, and the suspension of six rounds means that before the end of the season, Mourinho is unlikely to appear in the league game, but it is not salty for Chelsea now, 400,000 pounds is a drizzle for Chelsea, and it is only equivalent to a week's salary of Wang Li, and it doesn't matter if the manager does not have to participate in the league, probably the Portuguese are still happy with this result.
Immediately after the drama, the media spotlight returned to the Chelsea vs Manchester United match.
Speaking of which, the two teams are really indissoluble this season, the League Cup and FA Cup semi-finals are the two teams meet, and Manchester United is the two home games against Chelsea, but until now from the situation of the two teams, Manchester United really lost too badly - the Premier League was beaten by Chelsea, the League Cup was lost at home, maybe this game is the only chance to save face.
For Manchester United, the FA Cup is also the only title they can fight for this season, if this defeat to Chelsea again, then they will really have no results, and for the elder Ferguson, his Manchester United has been the strongest team since the start of the Premier League, and now he can't bear to put a Chelsea on it.
That said, the media don't have much hope that United can beat Chelsea.
Having lost three of our three meetings, can you expect them to win the fourth time?
Perhaps Manchester United have the advantage of being able to prepare for the game at home, while Chelsea need to travel to Milan on the 13th for the second leg of the last-eight knockout round, and the 17th is still away from Manchester United, which is extremely unfavourable.
Perhaps, Manchester United should have expected Chelsea to lose in Milan, and their hopes are even greater.
But after this result came out, Manchester United was still very low-key, at least there was no other 'Saha' to challenge Wang Li ...... without a head, and countless results have proven that that kind of approach is unwise, and even if there is such a person, the media will treat him as a clown...... Arsenal, on the other hand, are the most enviable, despite their lack of results, they at least finished second in the Football Cup and are firmly in second place in the league, much better than Manchester United.
In response to this, even Ferguson said sourly: "That Frenchman's luck is really good......"
Speaking of luck, Manchester United and Chelsea really didn't have much luck...... After that, many journalists went to interview the Chelsea and Manchester United players, and they wanted to stir up the excitement of the game through the words of the players of both teams.
'I think the team has a lot of fate with Manchester United, we've played against each other a few times before and now it's a chance again. Speaking to reporters, Wang Li said: "I hope this game can be more exciting, they can play to their full strength, now I feel that Manchester United is becoming less and less threatening, and if this continues, Chelsea will have no opponents next season." ”
Originally, in the eyes of reporters, Wang Li's words could provoke a war of words between the two sides, but unfortunately, the Manchester United team did not react, and the reporters in London regarded this as Manchester United's cowardice, while the Manchester reporters quoted an idiom from an ancient oriental country, claiming that Manchester United is really 'lying on the salary and tasting courage' - if it doesn't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!
