Chapter 132: Psychological Burden

No one expected that before the January period arrived, the two guys had already separated themselves!

Most of the people who witnessed the whole process agreed with Martin Taylor's conclusion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chelsea's squad is strong, but not a mature team, and they have been inflexible and somewhat self-conscious in the face of their opponents' unconventional behaviour.

At the moment, the morale of the team is low, people's hearts are floating, and it is a lie to say that there is no contradiction!

After all, Ibrahimovic is only a newcomer who rose to prominence last season, and has not yet led the team to any glory, nor does he have any qualifications to compete with his opponents. Due to his usual arrogance, no matter how good his performance on the field is, it is difficult to convince everyone.

Although he didn't take the initiative to provoke this matter at the moment, the way to deal with it was obviously inappropriate, and after he spoke wildly, he was slapped in the face by the opponent with facts, and as a teammate, he would feel shameless. What's more, the team's lineup has been directly affected, occupying the top spot in the 23 rounds of the standings, can there be no resentment in my heart?

And if you have grievances, there is no place to reason, you can only hold it in your heart!

Because Mourinho has praised Ibrahimovic a lot before and after, as if he is a confidant and looks at the Swedes, and his actual actions are also reflected. It's a tricky matter for any manager, and if they are indiscriminate, they won't have any good fruit to eat when they settle accounts in the fall.

I can't get out of my heart, can I still play at a super level on the field?

The Champions League can be successfully qualified, and the league has not been upset and lost, which is already a pretty good result, how can they be expected to have no distractions and only win or defeat in their hearts.

Now that it has finally reached the end of the month, judging from Ibu's attitude of not letting go, it is difficult for the two to win or lose this battle. The Chelsea man had already paid for his development and naturally hoped to make up for it through this game, so as the clock approached and the atmosphere in the team gradually normalized, Mourinho's tightly knit brow finally relaxed.

"Excuse me, can I talk to you?"

A little after Tuesday's training session, Mourinho was still busy in his office, and as the door was not closed, a slightly unfamiliar voice rang out at the same time as the knock on the door made him look up from the various reports.

Frank Lampard's face was as usual, and he didn't hesitate in the curious look of the other man, and after confirming that he could go in, he asked: "Do you need to close the door?" ”

"Okay, close it." Mourinho was a little surprised, stopped what he was doing and stood up.

The game the day after tomorrow means a lot to this team, and whether they can make a comeback is a move, but for well-known reasons, it is difficult for them to express their support in this situation, and even watching the game in person is a bit redundant.

Because Mourinho has been tough on the outside, he has been downplaying the impact of this incident internally. It's a pity that Ibrahimovic didn't understand the manager's good intentions, and he didn't say hello in advance several times, turning the team's originally good atmosphere into a shaking head.

What's worse at the moment, except for Anelka, who followed behind the Swede like a little brother, everyone else is deliberately keeping their distance!

This approach seems a bit ruthless, but it is really human.

Ibrahimovic has never been a leader, and although he is a good player on the field, his words and deeds off the field have always been criticized. On the surface, the sharper the opponent's provocation and counterattack, the better, but in fact, doing so will instantly raise yourself up several notches, as if you have become a leader, and your every move represents the team.

What's more, the opponent is no one else, everyone knows what the weight of the Golden Ball Award is, and the Swede's approach of standing out from the crowd will only make him look arrogant, and it is normal to be isolated by his teammates.

Faced with this situation, Mourinho has nothing to do but hope for the result.

Because he was also on the thief ship, he expressed his support for his disciples openly and secretly, and now the morale of the team is low, and the noise in the locker room is gradually rising, and many people are laughing. In this case, as a head coach, you can't use a fight to suppress people, and you have to try to calm down the situation so that everyone's attention is not distracted.

The results are naturally mediocre.

In fact, he, like Ibrahimovic, is a newcomer to this team, and he can have the status in front of him because of his excellent record. Once the team's form declines and people's hearts fluctuate, the already unstrong trust will quickly crumble, and everyone except for the heavily used guy will inevitably complain.

Frank Lampard is certainly not one of them, is this kind of bone-nosed approach to help him with advice?

"I don't know much about taekwondo, and my personal opinion may be far from the actual situation."

After a few polite remarks, Lampard didn't go around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Okay, actually, I'm a layman just like you."

Mourinho admired the style of the newcomer in front of him, but unfortunately the opponent's qualifications were too young to rank in this star-studded team, and even if he performed well on the field, it would take time to settle down to convince the public.

At the moment, the situation of the team is not optimistic, and it is something to be encouraged to have that sense of responsibility as a newcomer.

"Out of trust, we, like you, believe that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be able to overcome his opponent. In fact, almost everyone thinks that it is impossible for a guy who has never practiced taekwondo to defeat a five-dan black belt with fifteen years of experience in less than a month of training. ”

Frank Lampard did not pause or watch the manager's reaction closely, as if he had been prepared, his tone was calm and his voice was fluent.

Mourinho observed very carefully, nodded when he heard the words, and did not speak.

This kind of exchange is not new to him, but it is a new thing in this team, and it needs to be savored carefully to grasp the heat and understand the mood of the people. Listening is the best way to understand, and taking the initiative to lead the conversation can make the conversation tasteless, especially if the two parties are not on equal footing.

Frank Lampard had no joy on his face and continued: 'What happened later proved that the opponent is not as simple as it seems, in fact Mo has always been known for surprises, but this time it was so exaggerated that it was difficult for everyone to accept the fact that the form suffered. ”

"Yes, I'm surprised too." Mourinho nodded, relieved.

Unlike their disciples, the Portuguese were known as madmen on the outside, but never showed their arrogance on the inside. This kind of external hatred will obviously attract criticism and anger among the players, who believe that the manager has been wronged. The ensuing sense of crisis and motivation will make the team cohesive and combative.

The guy in front of him, who had just been in the team for less than a year, seemed to have seen through his true purpose, his eyes were like torches, and his voice was calm.

"In the face of the unknown, everyone will be afraid, especially when something unthinkable happens in front of us, and it is normal to be shaken." Frank Lampard said slowly, his voice shifting: "But from this incident, we can completely see that there is no water in Mo's current achievement, and perhaps this is the biggest reason for the team's poor performance!" ”

"It seems that in your mind, Lee Bowyer's actions are purely self-inflicted?" Mourinho's face turned slightly cold, and his voice became sharper.

The situation is clear.

Frank Lampard's words are clearly not a sign of confidence in his own people, but on the contrary, they are likely to further worsen the atmosphere in the dressing room and leave Ibrahimovic in isolation!

Singing praises for opponents, what are you trying to do?

"Yes, don't look at the process, just look at the result, that's right." Frank Lampard said in a deep voice, looking at him as if he was worried about his opponent's poor memory, and added: "Just because Lee Bowyer and I were team-mates doesn't mean I agree with that. ”

As soon as he heard this, Mourinho's originally sharp eyes suddenly softened, and his voice was the same, "That's right, sometimes the process is funny, and sometimes it makes people ignore the result." It is irresponsible for competitive sports to focus on the process and ignore the outcome. ”

Frank Lampard nodded slightly and continued: 'So in my opinion, the interests of the team need to be carefully maintained by everyone to maximise it, and a team without sacrifice cannot survive and thrive in a highly competitive environment. ”

"Okay, I've pretty much got an idea of what you're thinking." Mourinho raised his voice, got up, and left his back for his disciple.

Frank Lampard was visibly disappointed, but he didn't hesitate to get to his feet: 'Okay, then you can keep busy.' ”

As a result, as soon as his hand was on the doorknob, a voice came from behind him: "I was suddenly a little curious, did you come to me by yourself?" ”

"Yes." Frank Lampard turned his head, his voice neither humble nor overbearing, "Because I didn't agree with them, so I came on my own." ”

"Well, this kind of independent thinking is a very valuable quality." Mourinho said with a blank face, and then asked: "I am willing to listen to your real thoughts, are you still in the mood to tell me?" ”

Lampard froze, but nodded quickly.

"I'm wondering, if Zlatan wins, will we go all the way in the next fight?"

......

The final outcome of this contest is a topic of conversation for all, with the general expectation that the winner will be on the verge of victory in the rest of the league until the big picture is decided and the league title is in hand. Needless to say, the loser loses and loses, and in the end it is not a person inside and out.

In the eyes of the vast majority, the trend of the two teams this season has been taken as a bet, so that this battle will be a turning point, and the success or failure will be in one fell swoop!

Only a very small number of people clearly understand that competitive sports are not so simple!

In the case of Chelsea, the impact on the squad over the past month is a sure thing and can be left alone. If Ibrahimovic wins the contest and the Chelseamen raise their eyebrows, will the team be able to quickly return to the trajectory that has gone off course?

Can you get back to your form as soon as you succeed in revenge?

What about the locker room atmosphere?

Will the Swedes, who have always been arrogant, swell to the point of being unacceptable?

It will take time to answer these questions, but until then there was a sense of the gravity of the situation, and what Chelsea really needed was a steady streak rather than a post-victory revelry.

Similarly, Arsenal, who have been unbeaten in 63 league games, have long been public enemies of the Premier League. Even if Yumo wins the contest and proves once again that he can do anything, he will not be able to change the situation.

Unless you lose, the record is old.

Therefore, if this contest is won, it will be a good opportunity for Arsenal to establish an advantage, and whether it can be grasped depends on whether the team's heart is big enough.

Whether you can have the last laugh is also doubtful.

League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League, League, and four-line battles, can you have the last laugh only by momentum?

"I'm laughing to death, it seems that Ibu really thinks of himself as a savior!"

On Wednesday night, before going to bed, Wang Dan smiled in front of the computer.

Li Juan also joined in the fun next to her, but her English level was there, and she was spoiled before she could understand it, so she had to smirk.

Yu Mo was not in the room, and the butler was waiting in the bath.

Tomorrow is the last day of January, and the two will face off at 7:30 p.m. in the gym of a high-end clubhouse in London. So they were interviewed before the game, which was a press conference.

You Mo has already finished his ultimate, and now he is in the time of the sage, and he sent the reporters away in a few words. Ibu couldn't fight back after being slapped in the face, and he was in a state of holding his breath and vowing not to give up, so he naturally had to say some cruel words when he was interviewed.

When asked about the impact of this contest, the answer is not surprising.

"Sister means that he takes himself too seriously and ignores the existence of other people?" Li Juan smirked for a while, and finally reacted and began to ask questions.

"On the surface, he's fighting for the team and it's understandable. In fact, he is not qualified to be compared with your man, and this kind of exaltation of himself is tantamount to trampling others under his feet, how can he not be angry? Wang Dan said with a smile, leaning back in his chair and stretching his waist.

"He's also young and vigorous, it's normal for him to fight back after being provoked, can he support him as a teammate?" Li Juan looked puzzled, and after asking, she added: "And Mourinho has expressed his support more than once, and he didn't let him play in the last game......."

Speaking of this, he reacted and said with a smile: "Ah, isn't this just a sign of enjoying privileges, it seems that the Chelsea people are shooting themselves in the foot!" ”

"Well, this matter has been a trick from the beginning, your man is treacherous and slippery, and he has seen the agitation method that Ibu will use!" Wang * Dan looked triumphant, and after finishing speaking, his right hand reached out, drilled into the neckline of the guy next to him, and soon found the cherry grains and rubbed them.

Li Juan was used to being harassed, and she didn't resist, she snorted twice and asked: "It means that no matter whether you win or lose, Chelsea will not be as stable as before?" ”

"Yes, needless to say, Ibrahimovic has no face to see, and the team has no face. It will be a long time to win, but the order in the team's dressing room will be completely disrupted, and it will be difficult to rebuild in the short term. Wang Dan sighed, his eyes were a little confused, and his hand movements stopped.

Li Juan suddenly looked curious and asked, "Why is my sister sighing, are you worried that Momo won't be able to win tomorrow?" ”

Wang Dan shook his head, his voice lazy, "It's not perfect enough, it would be nice if the other party took the initiative to provoke." ”

As soon as the voice fell, a lazy voice came from outside the open room door.

"In that case, there is no psychological burden if you lose."
